Kubuntu 18.10 has been released, featuring the beautiful Plasma 5.13 desktop from KDE.<\/p>\n

Codenamed \u201cCosmic Cuttlefish\u201d, Kubuntu 18.10 continues our proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution.<\/p>\n

The team has been hard at work through this cycle, introducing new features and fixing bugs.<\/p>\n

Under the hood, there have been updates to many core packages, including a new 4.18-based kernel, Qt 5.11, KDE Frameworks 5.50, Plasma 5.13.5 and KDE Applications 18.04.3<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kubuntu has seen some exciting improvements, with newer versions of Qt, updates to major packages like Krita, Kdeconnect, Kstars, Peruse, Latte-dock, Firefox and LibreOffice, and stability improvements to KDE Plasma. In addition, Snap integration in Plasma Discover software center is now enabled by default, while Flatpak integration is also available to add on the settings page.<\/p>\n

For a list of other application updates, upgrading notes and known bugs be sure to read our release notes: <\/p>\n

Download 18.10 or read about how to upgrade from 18.04<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Additionally, users who wish to test the latest Plasma 5.14.1 and Frameworks 5.51, which came too late in our release cycle to make it into 18.10 as default, can install these via our backports PPA<\/a>. This represents only the 1st initial bugfix release of Plasma 5.14, with 4 more to be released in the coming months, so early adopters should be aware that there may more bugs to be found (and reported).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
