Jack Wallen discusses why the upcoming Ubuntu 21.04 is more important than some of its features would imply.
At one point, the Ubuntu faithful were excited that 21.04 would be one of the first distributions to include GNOME 40.
Even though 21.04 is a short term support release, Canonical doesn't want to unleash a version of Ubuntu that wreaks havoc on the users.
With Ubuntu 21.04, user's home directories will finally be private.
Because the only enticing feature for 21.04 is the private home directories, many will probably skip this release and hold off until GNOME 40 hits the desktop.
