Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon increases its system requirements

As we are heading towards the imminent final release of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon, which is going to mark 20 years of Ubuntu LTS releases with the eleventh LTS release since 6.06 LTS Dapper Drake, Canonical has recently updated the system requirements for this version of Ubuntu in the operating system’s website.

This system requirements update is going to disappoint some people, especially when they’re using old computers, as some of those requirements to be able to run Ubuntu have been increased. According to the official Ubuntu documentation, the below specifications is required:

• CPU: a 2 GHz dual-core processor or higher (with 64-bit + SSE2 support)
• GPU: a minimum of 6 GB RAM
• Storage: a minimum of 25 GB of free space

For older releases, the requirements have been:

• CPU: a 2 GHz dual-core processor or higher (with 64-bit + SSE2 support)
• GPU: a minimum of 4 GB RAM (physical) or 2 GB RAM (virtualized)
• Storage: a minimum of 25 GB of free space

However, the Ubuntu Server requirements haven’t been updated, since the documentation states that at least 1.5 GB of RAM and 4 GB of free hard drive space is required for successful installation.

You may be able to run this version of Ubuntu on a computer that doesn’t meet the requirements, but you may or may not experience problems in the long run, depending on your workflow.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon enters the Beta freeze!

As we are approaching the beta stage of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon, the version has finally entered the Beta Freeze as of today on March 23rd, which is a stage that all further package releases that affect the beta release after the freeze date will have to undergo manual approval by the release team before entering the archives.

Before the beta freeze, all uploads can enter the archive without any human intervention, which supports fast development during the early stages of a Ubuntu version development. After the freeze, manual approval for essential packages is required to ensure that the beta release stays stable by fixing package inconsistencies and critical bugs quickly.

After the freeze, all packages that don’t affect the beta release will still be automatically approved without any human intervention until the final freeze, scheduled for April 16th.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccon Beta will be released on March 26th, which will allow users to conduct tests on an upcoming version of Ubuntu before the official release on April 23rd.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon enters the User Interface freeze

Today, Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon has entered a new stage of development, according to the release schedule.

The official Ubuntu documentation states that the user interface freeze means that there will be no more changes to how the upcoming version of Ubuntu looks, alongside the user interface elements and appearance. This has the following advantages for those working on the project:

• Documentation writers and translators will be able to work on a fixed target without the user interface changes causing chaos for them.
• Screenshot and documentations don’t become obsolete caused by a change in the user interface.

By preventing obsoletion of both the docs and the screenshots, this makes sure that users who need help using a specific application get the most up-to-date instructions.

To explain the freeze in more depth, here’s when will the changes be considered unacceptable:

• User Interface of individual applications that are installed by default
• Appearance of the Desktop
• Distribution-specific artwork
• All user-visible strings in the Desktop and applications that are installed by default

However, an exception can be applied in certain circumstances, and can be filed using the official bug tracker at Launchpad. These bugs explain the justification for the UI change, as well as the explanation as to how its benefits would break existing documentation, screenshots, and translations. You can request for the UI freeze exception here.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon will be released on April 23rd.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon Snapshot 4 released!

The fourth and the last snapshot has been released, highlighting the changes between the previous snapshot (January 29th) and the current one (February 26th). On March 26th, Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka will reach the Beta stage according to the planned release schedule.

The official plan stated that the Ubuntu release team wanted to release Ubuntu every six months, while relying on the modern software engineering practices. More automated testing will be made to ensure that future releases will have next-to-zero problems that may cause a delay of the release. Alongside this, the release process will be refined to achieve the goal of little to no human intervention when dealing with releases.

The Ubuntu release team describe the snapshot releases as not production-ready releases, but as testable milestones that allow you to try out the upcoming version of Ubuntu without having to wait until the official release.

You can find those snapshots here:

• Ubuntu
• Edubuntu
• Kubuntu
