Ubuntu 26.10 (codename Stonking Stingray) is scheduled for release next week, on October 15th, 2026, with the latest and greatest GNOME 51 “A Coruña” desktop environment, the unreleased Linux 7.3 kernel series (yes, Ubuntu 26.10 will ship with an RC (Release Candidate) kernel), OpenSSL 4.0, OpenSSH 10.5, and Rust-based core utilities.
Based on the latest Debian 13 “Trixie” operating system series and powered by Linux kernel 6.18.50 LTS, the new Raspberry Pi OS release ships with battery and squeekboard widgets for the new dock, support for automounting encrypted drives, Control Centre debug code, and new, better-quality Raspberry Pi menu icons.
The wait is finally over, and you can download an updated Raspberry Pi Desktop ISO image that you can install on your x86_64 (not ARM) laptop or desktop computer, or on a 64-bit Mac. The latest Raspberry Pi Desktop release is based on Debian 13 “Trixie,” and it’s powered by the long-term supported Linux 6.12 LTS kernel series.
With GNOME 51 “A Coruña” being released last month and slowly making its way into the stable software repositories of popular GNU/Linux distributions, such as openSUSE Tumbleweed, Fedora Linux, Ubuntu, and Arch Linux, the GNOME devs have started work on the GNOME 52 release.
