Microsoft announces official availability of .NET 10.0 for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS!

Microsoft has announced that .NET 10.0 is now available globally for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS users! This version of .NET brings improved performance and new features, as well as other enhancements across different areas of the framework.

.NET is one of the officially supported development toolchains thanks to Microsoft and Canonical partnering together to ensure that .NET is available and easily installable in Ubuntu. This ensures that .NET works properly across multiple Ubuntu versions.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon has also seen many changes besides the availability of .NET 10.0, including the usage of Linux 7.0 as the kernel to add support for new hardware and to enhance your computer’s performance and reliability. Besides, .NET 10.0 introduced post-quantum cryptography.

To install .NET 10.0 SDK on your Ubuntu 26.04 LTS installation, follow these steps:

 $ sudo apt update  $ sudo apt install dotnet-sdk-10.0 

Similarly, to install the runtime on your installation, follow these steps:

 $ sudo apt update  $ sudo apt install dotnet-runtime-10.0 

However, to install .NET 10.0 SDK with Native AOT support, you’ll have to install the following packages:

 $ sudo apt update  $ sudo apt install dotnet-sdk-aot-10.0 clang

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon is now available!

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon is now available for users! This succeeds the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Noble Numbat, which was a previous long-term support version of Ubuntu that provides 15 years of total support, with 5 years of mainstream support for bug fixes and other improvements.

Since Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, more improvements have been made to the Ubuntu desktop experience to make your productivity more streamlined than before. With the introduction of GNOME 50, the desktop has seen many enhancements, such as better fractional scaling that minimizes blurring, monospace font size reduction to match the standard UI font, and a brand new system performance utility that lets you discover performance issues.

According to the official changelogs for LTS users, Ubuntu 26.04 has incorporated several new applications, including, but not limited to:

• Papers document viewer: The new document viewer replaces Evince that is actually a fork of Evince that uses GTK4 and partial usage of Rust for both memory safety and performance improvements.
• Loupe image viewer: The new image viewer replaces Eye of GNOME to use the new Glycin library written in Rust for faster and more secure image viewing.
• Ptyxis terminal emulator: The new terminal emulator replaces the older GNOME Terminal to ensure that more polished look matches the aesthetics of the Ubuntu desktop. Also, it supports directly running containers through podman, toolbox, and distrobox.
• Resources system monitor: The new system monitor app replaces System Monitor and Power Statistics to monitor the utilization of system resources more effortlessly.

Alongside the new applications, Ubuntu has also seen more improvements across different areas of the desktop, such as exclusivity to Wayland. In case you’re not a fan of Wayland, Ubuntu flavors still exist, such as Xubuntu.

The App Center has seen many improvements since the last LTS release, including installs in progress, third-part deb installation, and direct uninstall of snaps from the app manager. Additionally, Security Center has been added to check your computer’s security.

As for users who are using ARM64 systems, initial hardware enablement work is conducted with the Snapdragon X Elite platform that is included in the desktop ISO, along with a generic ARM64 ISOs targeting virtual machines, ACPI + EFI platforms, and Snapdragon-based Windows-on-ARM (WoA) devices.

If you are frustrated with the way the software updater notifies you that updates are available by opening windows, the software updater has been reworked to give you an actual notification if there are available updates. An icon in the system tray will remind you that there are available updates, even though the notification has been dismissed.

The following frameworks have been updated, including, but not limited to:

• OpenSSH 1:10.2p1
• ClamAV v1.4.3
• Django v5.2
• PHP v8.5
• Dovecot v2.4.2
• Postfix v3.10.0
• Samba v4.23
• Squid v7.2
• SSSD v2.12
• MySQL v8.4.8
• PostgreSQL v18
• Valkey v9.0.3

Finally, .NET 10.0 is included with the release of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, which allows developers and users to build and run applications that are built with .NET 10.0 to allow access to the latest features and improvements that were done in this new LTS version of .NET. Canonical has also introduced a new way to install .NET using snaps instead of a regular APT, starting with .NET 10.0.

For developers, the following toolchains, apart from .NET, have been released:

• GCC v15.2, binutils v2.45, glibc v2.42
• Python v3.13.9 and v3.14
• LLVM v21
• Rust v1.91, v1.92, v1.93
• Golang v1.25
• Zig v0.14.1
• OpenJDK v8, v11, v17, v21, v25, v26 preview, v27 preview

To upgrade your system to 26.04 LTS, either open the terminal and run sudo do-release-upgrade, or open Software Updates and start the upgrade. Make sure that your packages are upgraded first.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon is now available!

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon is now available for users! This succeeds the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Noble Numbat, which was a previous long-term support version of Ubuntu that provides 15 years of total support, with 5 years of mainstream support for bug fixes and other improvements.

Since Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, more improvements have been made to the Ubuntu desktop experience to make your productivity more streamlined than before. With the introduction of GNOME 50, the desktop has seen many enhancements, such as better fractional scaling that minimizes blurring, monospace font size reduction to match the standard UI font, and a brand new system performance utility that lets you discover performance issues.

According to the official changelogs for LTS users, Ubuntu 26.04 has incorporated several new applications, including, but not limited to:

• Papers document viewer: The new document viewer replaces Evince that is actually a fork of Evince that uses GTK4 and partial usage of Rust for both memory safety and performance improvements.
• Loupe image viewer: The new image viewer replaces Eye of GNOME to use the new Glycin library written in Rust for faster and more secure image viewing.
• Ptyxis terminal emulator: The new terminal emulator replaces the older GNOME Terminal to ensure that more polished look matches the aesthetics of the Ubuntu desktop. Also, it supports directly running containers through podman, toolbox, and distrobox.
• Resources system monitor: The new system monitor app replaces System Monitor and Power Statistics to monitor the utilization of system resources more effortlessly.

Alongside the new applications, Ubuntu has also seen more improvements across different areas of the desktop, such as exclusivity to Wayland. In case you’re not a fan of Wayland, Ubuntu flavors still exist, such as Xubuntu.

The App Center has seen many improvements since the last LTS release, including installs in progress, third-part deb installation, and direct uninstall of snaps from the app manager. Additionally, Security Center has been added to check your computer’s security.

As for users who are using ARM64 systems, initial hardware enablement work is conducted with the Snapdragon X Elite platform that is included in the desktop ISO, along with a generic ARM64 ISOs targeting virtual machines, ACPI + EFI platforms, and Snapdragon-based Windows-on-ARM (WoA) devices.

If you are frustrated with the way the software updater notifies you that updates are available by opening windows, the software updater has been reworked to give you an actual notification if there are available updates. An icon in the system tray will remind you that there are available updates, even though the notification has been dismissed.

The following frameworks have been updated, including, but not limited to:

• OpenSSH 1:10.2p1
• ClamAV v1.4.3
• Django v5.2
• PHP v8.5
• Dovecot v2.4.2
• Postfix v3.10.0
• Samba v4.23
• Squid v7.2
• SSSD v2.12
• MySQL v8.4.8
• PostgreSQL v18
• Valkey v9.0.3

Finally, .NET 10.0 is included with the release of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, which allows developers and users to build and run applications that are built with .NET 10.0 to allow access to the latest features and improvements that were done in this new LTS version of .NET. Canonical has also introduced a new way to install .NET using snaps instead of a regular APT, starting with .NET 10.0.

For developers, the following toolchains, apart from .NET, have been released:

• GCC v15.2, binutils v2.45, glibc v2.42
• Python v3.13.9 and v3.14
• LLVM v21

Ghostty is now available on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon

Ghostty is a terminal emulator that uses your graphics card to achieve high performance, while focusing on being feature-rich and providing native user interface, and is written in Zig.

One day before Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon gets released, Ghostty has been added to the official Ubuntu repositories for this release under the universe pocket, with the note that ptyxis would still be the default terminal emulator and that the availability of Ghostty would be available as a preview.

The official announcement made by Canonical states that Ghostty can be installed to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Noble Numbat as follows:

 sudo apt install ghostty 

The above command will install Ghostty v1.3.0, and it contains new feature additions and improvements since Ghostty went v1.0. Currently, Zig v0.15 is used to build Ghostty, and the terminal emulator is available for Ubuntu systems on 64-bit processors, with amd64 and arm64 being the supported architectures.

You’ll need a graphics card that supports OpenGL v4.3 or later in order for Ghostty to work. If you have a graphics card that doesn’t meet this requirement, you’ll have to either find another terminal emulator or launch Ghostty with software rendering, with:

 LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=true ghostty 

The Ghostty library, libghostty, is currently not available as a system-wide library, but a future package update will include it.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon increases its system requirements

As we are heading towards the imminent final release of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon, which is going to mark 20 years of Ubuntu LTS releases with the eleventh LTS release since 6.06 LTS Dapper Drake, Canonical has recently updated the system requirements for this version of Ubuntu in the operating system’s website.

This system requirements update is going to disappoint some people, especially when they’re using old computers, as some of those requirements to be able to run Ubuntu have been increased. According to the official Ubuntu documentation, the below specifications is required:

• CPU: a 2 GHz dual-core processor or higher (with 64-bit + SSE2 support)
• GPU: a minimum of 6 GB RAM
• Storage: a minimum of 25 GB of free space

For older releases, the requirements have been:

• CPU: a 2 GHz dual-core processor or higher (with 64-bit + SSE2 support)
• GPU: a minimum of 4 GB RAM (physical) or 2 GB RAM (virtualized)
• Storage: a minimum of 25 GB of free space

However, the Ubuntu Server requirements haven’t been updated, since the documentation states that at least 1.5 GB of RAM and 4 GB of free hard drive space is required for successful installation.

You may be able to run this version of Ubuntu on a computer that doesn’t meet the requirements, but you may or may not experience problems in the long run, depending on your workflow.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon enters the Beta freeze!

As we are approaching the beta stage of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon, the version has finally entered the Beta Freeze as of today on March 23rd, which is a stage that all further package releases that affect the beta release after the freeze date will have to undergo manual approval by the release team before entering the archives.

Before the beta freeze, all uploads can enter the archive without any human intervention, which supports fast development during the early stages of a Ubuntu version development. After the freeze, manual approval for essential packages is required to ensure that the beta release stays stable by fixing package inconsistencies and critical bugs quickly.

After the freeze, all packages that don’t affect the beta release will still be automatically approved without any human intervention until the final freeze, scheduled for April 16th.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccon Beta will be released on March 26th, which will allow users to conduct tests on an upcoming version of Ubuntu before the official release on April 23rd.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccon Beta will be released on March 26th, which will allow users to conduct tests on an upcoming version of Ubuntu before the official release on April 23rd.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon enters the Beta freeze!

As we are approaching the beta stage of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon, the version has finally entered the Beta Freeze as of today on March 23rd, which is a stage that all further package releases that affect the beta release after the freeze date will have to undergo manual approval by the release team before entering the archives.

Before the beta freeze, all uploads can enter the archive without any human intervention, which supports fast development during the early stages of a Ubuntu version development. After the freeze, manual approval for essential packages is required to ensure that the beta release stays stable by fixing package inconsistencies and critical bugs quickly.

After the freeze, all packages that don’t affect the beta release will still be automatically approved without any human intervention until the final freeze, scheduled for April 16th.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon enters the User Interface freeze

Today, Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon has entered a new stage of development, according to the release schedule. The development team has today announced in the mailing list that this version of Ubuntu has entered the user interface freeze.

The official Ubuntu documentation states that the user interface freeze means that there will be no more changes to how the upcoming version of Ubuntu looks, alongside the user interface elements and appearance. This has the following advantages for those working on the project:

• Documentation writers and translators will be able to work on a fixed target without the user interface changes causing chaos for them.
• Screenshot and documentations don’t become obsolete caused by a change in the user interface.

By preventing obsoletion of both the docs and the screenshots, this makes sure that users who need help using a specific application get the most up-to-date instructions.

To explain the freeze in more depth, here’s when will the changes be considered unacceptable:

• User Interface of individual applications that are installed by default
• Appearance of the Desktop
• Distribution-specific artwork
• All user-visible strings in the Desktop and applications that are installed by default

However, an exception can be applied in certain circumstances, and can be filed using the official bug tracker at Launchpad. These bugs explain the justification for the UI change, as well as the explanation as to how its benefits would break existing documentation, screenshots, and translations. You can request for the UI freeze exception here.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon will be released on April 23rd.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon Snapshot 4 released!

The fourth and the last snapshot has been released, highlighting the changes between the previous snapshot (January 29th) and the current one (February 26th). On March 26th, Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka will reach the Beta stage according to the planned release schedule.

The official plan stated that the Ubuntu release team wanted to release Ubuntu every six months, while relying on the modern software engineering practices. More automated testing will be made to ensure that future releases will have next-to-zero problems that may cause a delay of the release. Alongside this, the release process will be refined to achieve the goal of little to no human intervention when dealing with releases.

The Ubuntu release team describe the snapshot releases as not production-ready releases, but as testable milestones that allow you to try out the upcoming version of Ubuntu without having to wait until the official release.

You can find those snapshots here:

• Ubuntu

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon Snapshot 3 will get GNOME 50 Beta

The upcoming Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon’s third snapshot, which will be released on January 29th, will get the beta version of GNOME 50. It’s known that the stable release of this version of Ubuntu provides the stable version of GNOME 50, but the beta version will make it to the third snapshot of the upcoming release.

Just to remind you that Ubuntu snapshots have been first implemented in Questing Quokka in an attempt to streamline the development workflow and to gives curious users early access to what will the upcoming version of Ubuntu look like, with the first ever snapshot being made released on May 29th of the last year. This will make sure that automation is used to make future Ubuntu releases, such as this release, more stable.

GNOME 50 is currently in development with the Alpha version stripping out support for the legacy X11 desktop protocol as Wayland becomes more stable. Although there are still compatibility issues with applications that use the legacy X11 protocol in a way that Wayland hasn’t solved yet, such as remote access programs, Wayland is getting better. GNOME 50 will be released on March 18th, 2026.

However, the beta version of GNOME 50 will include more stability improvements and bug fixes as we venture into both the release candidate and the final release of this desktop environment. This way, Ubuntu 26.04 LTS will use GNOME 50 as the desktop environment in the final release.

Ubuntu’s Resolute Raccoon 26.04 LTS roadmap!

Ubuntu has published the Ubuntu 26.04 Resolute Raccoon roadmap for the next LTS version last November, and the list of changes that will be made to this Ubuntu version is rather surprising. Those changes have been listed in the official Discourse forums since the start of the development, and we’re now at the stage where the beta version is only a month and a few days left. Full development is still ongoing, with the list of expected changes below:

• GNOME 50 will make it to the final release of Ubuntu 26.04, which is expected to be released on April 23rd, 2026. Showtime and Resources will become the new default applications in all desktop installations.
• As for Wayland on NVIDIA GPUs, including the latest GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards released last year, outstanding stability and performance issues will be fixed in this release so users with those graphics cards can now have even better experience. Wayland will become the default starting 26.04.
• The fingerprint reader support has now become more powerful, because Ubuntu 26.04 LTS delivers secure, SPDM-based fingerprint authentication, which brings more reliability to the biometrics system in certified Ubuntu devices.
• As for the built-in software sandboxing solution, Snap, its integration with the desktop has now become much better than before. Snaps will play nicer with the Ubuntu desktop, by improving app recognition and by making launchers behave more predictably.

Alongside that, there have been plans to make accessibility more visible, and the Ubuntu’s goal is to make the whole operating system accessible to all users from the very start. In enterprise environments, enhanced cloud authentication has been achieved using a first-party authentication daemon called authd. This will make enterprise authentication with different services easier and smoother, ensuring cohesive authentication across enterprise developments.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS also enhances the developer experience on Windows by introducing a better experience with consistent and predictable workflow in the latest WSL images. Ubuntu Pro is also supported, with the necessary polishes being made to provide post-release support. Documentation will also go through a huge rework to fend off old docs and add new ones, to keep the user documentation in par with the latest Ubuntu releases.

The release milestones are as follows:

• Feature Freeze: February 16th, 2026
• User Interface Freeze: March 12th, 2026
• Beta Release: March 23rd, 2026
• Final Freeze: April 16th, 2026
• Final Release: April 23rd, 2026

Ubuntu’s Resolute Raccoon 26.04 LTS roadmap!

Ubuntu has published the Ubuntu 26.04 Resolute Raccoon roadmap for the next LTS version last November, and the list of changes that will be made to this Ubuntu version is rather surprising. Those changes have been listed in the official Discourse forums since the start of the development, and we’re now at the stage where the beta version is only a month and a few days left. Full development is still ongoing, with the list of expected changes below:

• GNOME 50 will make it to the final release of Ubuntu 26.04, which is expected to be released on April 23rd, 2026. Showtime and Resources will become the new default applications in all desktop installations.
• As for Wayland on NVIDIA GPUs, including the latest GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards released last year, outstanding stability and performance issues will be fixed in this release so users with those graphics cards can now have even better experience. Wayland will become the default starting 26.04.
• The fingerprint reader support has now become more powerful, because Ubuntu 26.04 LTS delivers secure, SPDM-based fingerprint authentication, which brings more reliability to the biometrics system in certified Ubuntu devices.
• As for the built-in software sandboxing solution, Snap, its integration with the desktop has now become much better than before. Snaps will play nicer with the Ubuntu desktop, by improving app recognition and by making launchers behave more predictably.

Alongside that, there have been plans to make accessibility more visible, and the Ubuntu’s goal is to make the whole operating system accessible to all users from the very start. In enterprise environments, enhanced cloud authentication has been achieved using a first-party authentication daemon called authd. This will make enterprise authentication with different services easier and smoother, ensuring cohesive authentication across enterprise developments.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS also enhances the developer experience on Windows by introducing a better experience with consistent and predictable workflow in the latest WSL images. Ubuntu Pro is also supported, with the necessary polishes being made to provide post-release support. Documentation will also go through a huge rework to fend off old docs and add new ones, to keep the user documentation in par with the latest Ubuntu releases.

The release milestones are as follows:

• Feature Freeze: February 16th, 2026
• User Interface Freeze: March 12th, 2026
• Beta Release: March 23rd, 2026
• Final Freeze: April 16th, 2026
• Final Release: April 23rd, 2026
