Adam Conrad of the Ubuntu release team reports that the next version of Ubuntu, the Eoan Ermine (19.10), has entered the Final Freeze period in preparation for the final release [this]  week. With much anticipation, the current uploads in the queue will be reviewed and either accepted or rejected as appropriate by pre-freeze standards. Acceptance pertains to two broad categories: release-critical bugs, and bug fixes that would be suitable for post-release SRUs. We are asked if we have time to help test Ubuntu or our particular flavor while there's still time.

Jim Salter tells us of the ZFS root support added to Ubuntu 19.10 builds. With many screendumps provided, we are given a quick intro to ZFS for newbies, before moving to more detail for those familiar with the topic. In a detailed report, we are reminded that whilst ZFS is stable, Ubuntu's ZFS-installer is still experimental and a great addition.

## In this section we want to highlight the blogs that are exceptionally well-written and in-depth.
## Blogs tend to make it easy for low-quality content, so be extra careful on what goes here.
## We should encourage bloggers to spread the word, so this section might be a good way to do so.

Michael Larabel writes about the new ZFS support in Ubuntu's Ubiquity installer, made available on Ubuntu 19.10. We are reminded that it's currently experimental, with development work continuing which we should see when 20.04 is released. Many screencaptures are provided along with links for more information.

=== KDE + Qt 5.14 To Better Behave With Context Loss Around NVIDIA's Driver ===

Michael Larabel tells us of a prior leakage/corruption condition, seen by some on waking their systems when using NVIDIA's driver, that is being addressed with KDE & Qt 5.14. Better handling of OpenGL content loss, and the use of a signal emitted by the NVIDIA driver to deal with it gracefully are mentioned, with a link to David Edmundson's blog post for more detail.

Eoan Ermine (19.10) Final Freeze

Adam Conrad of the Ubuntu release team reports that the next version of Ubuntu, the Eoan Ermine (19.10), has entered the Final Freeze period in preparation for the final release [this] week. With much anticipation, the current uploads in the queue will be reviewed and either accepted or rejected as appropriate by pre-freeze standards. Acceptance pertains to two broad categories: release-critical bugs, and bug fixes that would be suitable for post-release SRUs. We are asked if we have time to help test Ubuntu or our particular flavor while there's still time.

This week in KDE: apps, apps apps!

Nate Graham tells us it's been a big week with many new features, bugfixes and performance improvements, and user interface improvements. The works focuses on Dolphin, Kate, System Settings UI improvements - such as new scale factors of 1.25x & 1.75x, and others. With some detail, screencaptures, and video, we are encouraged to come and help, even if you're not a programmer.

Incremental present in GTK4

Georges Stavracas talks of the compositor's regional rendering and tells how the Vulkan renderer in GTK4 utilizes VK_KHR_incremental_present function to only redraw parts of the window that actually change. Georges advises that the code has now been merged for GTK 4.
