Would love to hear from anyone who has tried 26.04. i worked from a bootable USB. Seemed great but would like to hear from experts on how to test further.
Also I understand that the upgrade route will not be available till August. Is that correct?

Hey @Ravi_E I’m stoked that Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (Resolute Raccoon 
) beta just dropped and with the full stable release hitting April 23! 
I’ve been hearing that it runs like a dream on AMD setups with smooth multimedia, gaming, and that Kubuntu runs perfectly as a daily driver.
Loving the security upgrades like Rust tools and TPM encryption, though I’m side-eyeing those forced Snaps lol!! might stick to vanilla .debs where I can.
Cautiously excited about it. Ubuntu Pro’s ESM mated with it should be as amazing as with 24.04 LTS+ESM.

I tested Ubuntu 26.04 Development Branch on a 2010 Netbook, boot on live USB, It can boot, but it’s not responding anywhere, lol (Intel Atom n450, intel GMA 3150, 2gb ram, and HDD) When it’s released, maybe I’ll try to be reckless, I’ll install that OS

From a privacy perspective, I am not a fan of creating an account and linking its feature entitlement to my operating system. Fifteen years of support is not quite tempting enough for me.
