Well, Ubuntu 20.04 is the next major release in Ubuntu lifecycle releases. It has been code-named Focal Fossa. Ubuntu Long Term Support releases are published every two years in April and hence, based on this trend, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) will likely be released on April 2020. However, the daily builds are now available for the enthusiasts to test it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"797\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/kifarunix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ubuntu-20.04.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4674\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kifarunix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ubuntu-20.04.png?v=1574491775 797w, https:\/\/kifarunix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ubuntu-20.04-768x578.png?v=1574491775 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 797px) 100vw, 797px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Install Ubuntu 20.04 on VirtualBox<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Download Ubuntu 20.04 Daily Build Image<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For testing purposes, Ubuntu 20.04 daily build images are now available for downloads.
