Sponsor gives KDE Plasma 6.6 the LTS treatment
Kubuntu 26.04 gets three years of fixes for the desktop, frameworks, and apps
The KDE Software Initiative has extended long-term support (LTS) to KDE Plasma 6.6, allowing for at least three years of backported fixes for this version. This initiative is spearheaded by Kubuntu Focus, which is sponsoring TechPaladin, the company behind the effort. Kubuntu 26.04, the latest LTS release of Ubuntu's KDE Plasma flavor, will receive security updates and critical fixes until April 2029, surpassing the usual three-year support for other Ubuntu remixes.
While Kubuntu is the primary beneficiary, other distros can also take advantage of the maintained components. This move effectively designates KDE Plasma 6.6 as a new LTS version of the desktop, providing comprehensive maintenance of the entire desktop stack.
