The day is here. Canonical have announced the release of Ubuntu 24.10 (Oracular Oriole), along with various flavours like Kubuntu 24.10 now being available. This is not an LTS (long term support) release, but an interim release towards the next LTS.
Some of the big changes include the latest 6.11 kernel, along with Canonical’s shift to “a more aggressive kernel version selection policy going forward”, automatic kernel crash dumps, GNOME 47 with its various new additions to the desktop and also Wayland by default for NVIDIA.

You’ll also find various Raspberry Pi support improvements, various improvements to the Snap packages like the new security center, additional stability and performance patches added to GNOME, Firefox 130, LibreOffice 24.8, Thunderbird 128, Pipewire 1.2.4 and the list of updates goes on and on.
See more in the release announcement.
Of course there’s all the extra flavours too like my favourite Kubuntu 24.10 which comes with KDE Plasma 6.1 that also has Wayland by default now too.
