Recent Linux/FOSS News Items:

Ubuntu re-released its second point release after problems were discovered with Ubiquity, its installer. The new release is called 20.04.02.0. All of our install media have been updated . This only affects Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, and Ubuntu Mate. Lubuntu and Kubuntu are not affected because they use the Calimares installer. You are advised to download the ISO and prepare your own install media should you ever need to re-install.

Eli wanted to have Ubuntu as the default boot on his dual boot machine. Changed the boot order in the BIOS, saved the changes, and success. For some reason Grub Customizer was not working as it should have.
