the 5.4 based Linux kernel,
with additional support for Wireguard VPN, AUFS5, and improved support
for IBM, Intel, Raspberry Pi and AMD hardware. [...] 20.04 LTS also brings
support for installing an Ubuntu desktop system on
top of ZFS. The latest version brings performance enhancements and
optional encryption support. Zsys, Ubuntu’s ZFS system tool, provides
automated system and user state saving. Tight integration with GRUB
allows a user to revert to any system state on boot and go back in time
to pave the way to a bulletproof Ubuntu Desktop.
