Canonical Announces Ubuntu's "Oracular Oriole" Release Coming in October 24.10

Canonical has announced that the next Ubuntu release, version 24.10, will be codenamed Oracular Oriole. This interim release is scheduled to be released sometime in October and will receive updates for nine months. The codename follows Ubuntu's tradition of using an adjective and an animal name, both starting with the same letter. In this case, "Oracular" suggests something enigmatic or mysterious, while an oriole is a type of bird.

Development for Ubuntu 24.10 is now underway, although specific details about new features have not yet been revealed. However, it is typical for new releases to include updates to the Linux kernel and the GNOME desktop environment.

Ubuntu 24.10 follows the current release, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Noble Numbat, which was launched on April 25. Stay tuned for further updates on the development and features of Ubuntu 24.10 as more information becomes available.
