Canonical quietly announced yesterday the name of the next version of its operating system, Ubuntu 18.10. It was already known that the first part of the name was Cosmic, now we know that the full name will be Cosmic Cuttlefish
Ubuntu 18.10 Cosmic Cuttlefish
Following the release of the final version of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, the latest version available with extended support, Ubuntu 18.10 marks the beginning of development for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, which will be the next version with five-year support. Shuttleworth has stressed that he wants the next cycle to focus primarily on improving security, probably a good target in a world that is experiencing increasing cyber attacks, with Linux seeing three times as many malware threats in recent years.

It is still too early to guess what features will come with Ubuntu 18.10 that will be released in October, however, some non-LTS versions usually come with little news and this could be the case for this new version. If the new cycle is going to be safety oriented, it can be pretty smooth, with most changes under the hood.
Snap packages could be one of the fundamental pillars of greater security in the new LTS version of Ubuntu, since these types of applications work in isolation from the rest of the parts of the system, and include all the necessary libraries for their operation. This means that if there is a security problem in one of these packages, it cannot affect the rest of the system.
