Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is here — and honestly, this is the most PREMIUM Ubuntu has ever looked and felt. In this video, I take you through everything new in Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, from GNOME 50 and the buttery-smooth desktop, to 5 brand new default apps, the refreshed Yaru theme, the move to a Wayland-only session, and the turbocharged engine running on Linux kernel 7.0. If you’re coming from Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, you’re getting years of polish landing on your desktop all at once — and you can feel it.
We break down why Ubuntu 26.04 LTS finally feels like a modern, complete desktop OS: the new apps (Showtime, Resources, Ptyxis, Papers and Loupe), the GNOME 50 smoothness story with triple buffering and a snappier Files app, the grown-up Yaru icons and theme, and the big Wayland switch that unlocks fractional scaling, VRR, and a foundation for HDR. We also dig into the hardware and performance side — AMD power profiles, NTSYNC for gaming, and support for the latest chips.
If you’ve been waiting for the Ubuntu glow-up, this is it. Ubuntu grew up.
