The Kubuntu team is happy to announce that Kubuntu 25.04 has been released. Code-named 'Plucky Puffin', Kubuntu 25.04 continues our tradition of giving you Friendly Computing by integrating the latest and greatest open-source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. The release features the latest KDE Plasma 6.3 desktop, KDE Gear 24.12.3, Linux kernel 6.14 and many other updated applications and libraries. Applications for core day-to-day usage are included and updated, such as Firefox and LibreOffice. In addition to the applications on our install media, 25.04 benefits from the huge number of applications in the Ubuntu archive, plus those installable via snap or other methods. Plasma Wayland session is the default option in sddm (display manager login screen). An X11 session can be selected instead if desired. The last-used session type will be remembered, so you do not have to switch type on each login. Please refer to our release notes for further details.
