Ubuntu Team announced the second development release of Ubuntu 26.04, Resolute Snapshot 2, yesterday afternoon (UTC time).
The date was moved up by a week, because of end-of-year (EOY) shutdown and the developers need more time to fix issues before holidays.
Whilst the snapshot was planned for next week, we wanted to do it a week earlier so as to give ourselves some time to fix anything that might break ahead of the EOY shutdown from w/c December 22nd.
After more than two months of Beta testing, System76 finally announced the release of Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS.
