Ubuntu 26.04 LTS development started
Canonical has released the brand new Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka version, which brings a lot of improvements thanks to the updated packages.
A new version of Ubuntu, called 26.04 Resolute Raccoon, has started its development a week after the abovementioned Ubuntu version was released. This version is reported to have GNOME 50 desktop and a future version of Linux.
The release schedule is known, and can be accessed here. We won’t be releasing the release schedule here, as we don’t usually update the schedule here, but you can still access the linked Discourse thread about it. However, we promise that we’ll release new updates regarding this version of Ubuntu, like beta version announcements and final version release.
Also, the repository has been initialized as of today, and it can be accessed under the following sections:
The final release is set to be scheduled for April 2026, and we are hopeful that many major systems will adopt the usage of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, should the migration become possible. As this is a very important milestone after Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Noble Numbat, we are doubly excited about the next LTS version, which will be a huge improvement over the current LTS.
Please note that, when we develop software, we only test them under Ubuntu LTS versions for longevity.

Ubuntu 24.10 Oracular Oriole gets the KDE 6 update! This means that you’ll be able to experience the newness and the awesomeness of the modern KDE desktop that replaces the 5.x series that was released on 2014.
It’s a revolution for Kubuntu users who are looking for the Plasma 6 desktop. If you’re running Kubuntu 24.10, you can now upgrade to Plasma 6 by initiating the full system upgrade.
Did you remember this development version of Plasma 6 that was demonstrated by KaOS back on September 2023? And did you remember that we had told you in the early stages of development that KDE 6.x will be included in the final version of Ubuntu 24.10?
KDE Plasma 6 features a sleek desktop design that follows the modern principles of this time and age, as well as new features, such as the return of Desktop Cube, the new “Ocean” sound theme, and the support for Islamic Hijri calendar. It also brings improvements that improve your user experience, such as panel settings being exposed in a nicer way and the visualizer for the Night Light transition time.
Now, you can see the demonstration of the desktop running under KDE Plasma 6.1!
Enjoy!
