I'm A Linux Power User, And The Latest Ubuntu Update Put A Smile On My Face
ZDNet, Thursday, April 10th, 2025
Canonical is preparing the release of Ubuntu 25.04 (Plucky Puffin) with a new kernel, the latest desktop environment, and an improved installer.
Ubuntu has been synonymous with Linux for a long time. There's a good reason for that. Ubuntu is one of the easiest Linux distributions on the market, has incredible hardware detection, and has been based on Debian since the beginning.
On April 17, the latest version of Ubuntu is set to be released. That version is 25.04, which is a short-term release. Short-term releases do not enjoy the lengthy support period as does their siblings, and 25.04 will be good to go until January 2026.
