    What a real LTS looks like: Kubuntu 26.04

    As a consolation prize for canceling the Plasma LTS product, we decided at the time to add an additional bug-fix release to the normal Plasma schedule, effectively lengthening the support period for each non-LTS Plasma version by 2 months from 4 months to 6.

    [20:39] schestowitz[TR2]

    And as a result, there have been no Plasma 6 LTS versions.

    [20:39] schestowitz[TR2]

    Until now!

    [20:39] schestowitz[TR2]

    Plasma 6.6 is now an LTS version. And not just Plasma 6.6 itself, but also a specific version of KDE Frameworks: 6.24, which will also receive backported bug-fixes. And Gear 25.12, too!
