+==== UEFI and BIOS Dual Boot ====
+Other operating systems are not displayed in the boot menu anymore unless Xubuntu has been installed alongside another operating system. Once all other operating systems are removed from the machine, detection of other operating systems is disabled, and to re-enable it after installing another OS, you will have to delete `/boot/grub/grub.cfg` and immediately run `update-grub` again.

+==== Firefox Snap ====
-We're wrapping up some final pieces to introduce these updates before the final release in April.
+Following Ubuntu, **Firefox** is now our first included Snap package. Most users won't notice a difference, save for potentially slow startup times the first time you open Firefox. Benefits Ubuntu lists include:
+  * Directly maintained by Mozilla
+  * More maintainable for the entire Ubuntu LTS lifecycle
+  * Faster access to the newest Firefox versions
+  * Easily switch to a different Firefox flavor with snap channels including `esr/stable`, `latest/candidate`, `latest/beta`, and `latest/edge`
+  * Sandboxed for improved security hardening for this critical app
-  * A new official Xubuntu wallpaper for the 22.04 release.
+==== For Xubuntu 20.04 Users ====
-  * 6 new wallpapers submitted by the community for the [[https://contest.xubuntu.org/|22.04 Xubuntu Wallpaper Contest]].
