ubuntu.com
Here’s a concise excerpt you can use:> Ubuntu 26.04 LTS significantly raises the security baseline by strengthening defaults across every layer of the system without requiring manual intervention. Key improvements include production-ready hardware-backed encryption, post-quantum–aware cryptographic defaults, modern TLS configurations, and […]

Highlights

  • Rust rewrite of GNU coreutils and sudo-rs
  • TPM-backed Full Disk Encryption now considered stable
  • More secure services (don’t run as root if not needed, AppArmor profiles)
  • AppArmor prompting for snaps is still experiemental unfortunately
  • non_burglar

    Are you waiting for a kernel patch, or is this support simply not available yet?

      It’s supported but buggy as hell. If you have an ipu6 laptop with a MIPI camera, the camera won’t work. Some worked in 24.04 but neither 25.x release nor the 26.04 beta work yet. And for me at least I have a (not my choice of laptop) actually supported with Ubuntu Dell machine.

      And even without that, it seems to suffer from random lag - I can’t seem to fathom what causes that at all.

      I’ve been told I should have gotten an AMD machine, but this is for work and had to be supplied through an “approved vendor” so I was limited to what they had available.
