1rem;">The Ubuntu Studio team is pleased to announce the beta
release of Ubuntu Studio 20.10, codenamed Groovy Gorilla.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom:
1rem;">While this beta is reasonably free of any showstopper DVD
build or installer bugs, you may find some bugs within. This
image is, however, reasonably representative of what you will
find when Ubuntu Studio 20.10 is released on October 22, 2020.</p>

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom:
1rem;">Ubuntu Studio 20.10 is the first release of Ubuntu Studio
to use the<span> </span><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;
font-weight: bolder;">KDE Plasma Desktop</strong><span> </span><strong
style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">Environment</strong><span> </span>by
default. This is a solid, stable desktop environment chosen due
to its incredible customizability, low memory footprint, and
many other reasons. The KDE community and Ubuntu Studio have a
unique synergy in that they are both striving to be the choice
of artists of all kinds, so this is an ideal development
relationship going forward.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom:
1rem;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight:

style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">Ubuntu

project available for all distributions, also included in Fedora
Jam 33 Beta by default.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom:
1rem;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight:

continuation/fork of Non Session Manager, is included by
default.</p>
