It also brings paging to app folders and a new restart option in the main system menu.

Users can turn a laptop into a Wi-Fi hotspot shareable via a QR code. GNOME 3.38 enables battery percentage from the Settings app without using a tweak tool. It also shows upcoming calendar events in the message tray, beneath the calendar widget, which seems very user-friendly.

Ubuntu 20.10 is based on the latest Linux 5.8 kernel. Among many improvements, Linux 5.8 provides a better AMD Renoir support, adds connectivity for Thunderbolt 5 on ARM devices, ships with new exFAT drivers, and better power management.
