As a community-driven flavor of Ubuntu, Kubuntu continues its mission to deliver the cutting-edge KDE software ecosystem on top of Ubuntu’s rock-solid foundation. This interim release, aligned with Ubuntu’s six-month cycle, packs in the freshest updates to Plasma, Frameworks, and applications, ensuring a smooth, performant desktop experience for millions of users worldwide.
Building on the Ubuntu 25.10 base released today by Canonical, Kubuntu 25.10 introduces Plasma 6.4 as the flagship update, alongside Qt 6.9, KDE Frameworks 6.17.0, and the latest KDE Gear 25.08 suite.
We’ve also upgraded to Linux kernel 6.17 for enhanced hardware support and efficiency. Whether you’re a developer, creator, or everyday user, this release emphasizes Wayland adoption, modern security, and seamless integration with the open source world.
