Ubuntu 26.10 Lands This Week with Big Gains on Panther Lake Laptops
Ubuntu 26.10, codenamed "Stonking Stingray," is scheduled for release on October 15, 2026, with nine months of support. Most enterprises will stay on the 26.04 LTS, but for users with the newest hardware — especially Intel's Panther Lake laptops — testing by Phoronix shows the interim release is worth a serious look.
