Carl RichellPop!_OS 24.04 LTS and COSMIC Epoch 1 will be release December 11th, 2025.
Future Pop!_OS releases, starting with Pop!_OS 26.04 LTS, will now align with the Ubuntu LTS release timing (approximately two weeks after the Ubuntu release date).
Cameron Bosch@carlrichell So I'm guessing no more interim releases?
@cameron_bosch it's unlikely. Pop is a semi-rolling release as it is. COSMIC will be continuously updated as features and fixes are released and we rapidly release hardware enablement and performance updates for System76 hardware.
@carlrichell What about kernel, Nvidia, and Mesa updates? Is that fixed or semi rolling?
@cameron_bosch they're constantly rolling in Pop. Always have been actually.
@carlrichell "Wait, the kernel and graphics drivers are rolling in Pop OS?"
"Always have been."
@cameron_bosch Yep. Pop 22.04 currently has the 6.16 kernel and Nvidia 580 graphics and Mesa 25 (if I recall the mesa version correctly) We're about to release the 6.17 kernel.
Dan "18pF flip-flop"@carlrichell @cameron_bosch So, if I understand this right, you roll those independently of Ubuntu HWE releases?
