Ubuntu

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS “Resolute Raccoon” is almost here — official release is on April 23, 2026.

This is a Long-Term Support release, so it will be supported until April 2031, and up to 2036 with Ubuntu Pro.

Here are the main things to know.

Linux Kernel 7.0

The new kernel brings support for Intel Nova Lake and AMD Zen 6 processors. It also includes:

• sched_ext — a new scheduling system that lets you write custom CPU schedulers using eBPF
• NTSYNC driver — better performance for Windows games running through Wine or Proton
• Dracut replaces initramfs-tools as the default initramfs generator

GNOME 50 and Wayland only

The desktop moves to GNOME 50. More importantly, Wayland is now the only default display server — XWayland is still available for older applications that need it.

I’m very excited to share that a new release of my favourite Linux distro is available!

Ubuntu 23.04 “Lunar Lobster” is out!
