Ubuntu 26.04 "Resolute Raccoon" Snapshot 1 ISOs Published

Written by Michael Larabel in Ubuntu on 27 November 2025 at 06:01 AM EST. 44 Comments
Canonical announced today the Ubuntu 26.04 "Resolute Raccoon" Snapshot 1 images as their first monthly ISO snapshots of the upcoming Ubuntu 26.04 LTS release.

Earlier this year Canonical decided to begin publishing monthly Ubuntu Linux snapshot ISOs as part of building out their release automation and other infrastructure. With it being a month and a half since the Ubuntu 25.10 stable release, the first snapshot of Ubuntu 26.04 is now available before closing out November.

This Resolute Snapshot 1 contains all the early Debian package updates and other early merges into the Resolute archive for what will become Ubuntu 26.04 LTS in April. There isn't too much to get excited about yet for end-users but this is simply an early development stepping stone toward Ubuntu 26.04.

The brief release announcement for Ubuntu 26.04 Snapshot 1 can be found via the mailing list.

Ubuntu 26.04 Snapshot 2 is coming up quick around 18 December as they intend to release it before their Christmas holiday downtime. The Ubuntu 26.04 LTS schedule puts the feature freeze on 19 February, beta release on 26 March, and the official release on 23 April.
