Greetings, Kubuntu Community! Today marked an important Kubuntu Council meeting, where we witnessed significant progress and collaboration among our esteemed council members – Darin Miller, Rik Mills, Valorie Zimmerman, Aaron Honeycutt, Jonathan Riddell (Kubuntu Treasurer), and Simon Quigley(Lubuntu). In this blog post, we’re excited to share the highlights and outcomes of the discussions that took place. Focus on the Upcoming Kubuntu LTS Release 24.04 – The 24.04 LTS Release – Updating the Kubuntu Installer to Calamares – Preparing an Alpha of Plasma 6 targeting the 24.

We have had many requests to make Plasma 5.27 available in our backports PPA for Jammy Jellyfish 22.04. However, for technical reasons this would have broken upgrades to Kinetic 22.10 while that upgrade path existed. Now that Kinetic is end of life, it is possible to allow opt in backports of plasma 5.27 for 22.04. As with the previous backport of plasma 5.25, version 5.27 is provided in the backports-extra PPA
