An anonymous reader shares a report: Today, Canonical's Ubuntu reaches a major milestone. You see, Ubuntu 19.04, which is named "Disco Dingo," has achieved Beta status. And yes, you can download it immediately. Fans of GNOME will be glad to know that version 3.32 is included in the standard Ubuntu Desktop release. Also cool? This is the first version of Ubuntu to use Linux kernel 5.

    Canonical might have made some really dumb choices with Ubuntu, but naming is not one of them. Go try searching "debian stretch" or "debian jessie". Those words are too common to be useful as code names for releases if you search "ubuntu dingo", you are unlikely to find many, if any, irrelevant results. If you add "disco" in there, it only reinforces it. They pick really odd adjectives and animal names on purpose. To make it easier to get good search results.
