Ubuntu Desktop 26.10 “Stonking Stingray” Roadmap: Building toward Ubuntu 28.04 LTS

With Ubuntu 26.04 LTS “Resolute Raccoon” now shipped and settling in, the Desktop Engineering team is already deep into the next development cycle.
Ubuntu 26.10 “Stonking Stingray” arrives in October 2026. While non-LTS releases often focus on delivering new capabilities, they also play another important role: laying the foundation for the next LTS release.
