Canonical has launched Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, codenamed Resolute Raccoon, featuring Linux kernel 7.0 and a shift to Wayland across variants. Official flavors including Kubuntu and Lubuntu accompany the main release with updated desktops and hardware support. The LTS version promises five years of updates until April 2031.
Greg Kroah-Hartman has extended the projected end-of-life dates for several active Linux long-term support kernels following discussions with companies and co-maintainer Sasha Levin. This update provides longer support windows for kernels like 6.6, 6.12, and 6.18. The change offers more time for users relying on these stable releases.

Linux kernel maintainers have extended long-term support (LTS) for several key releases through 2026-2028, partially reversing a 2023 decision to limit support to two years amid contributor burnout. Stable maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman updated the schedule following feedback from users, vendors, and fellow maintainer Sasha Levin, providing more time for security fixes in servers, Android devices, and appliances.
