[DESKTOP] Frequency of updates?

[GregM]

When is the next Kubuntu 18.04 release update?
How frequently do they release updates?
Same questions about Plasma.

Thank you.

When is the next big update for 18.04?

The point releases are approx 6 or so months apart, though it can vary a little
Here is 16.04's release schedule. Bionic should be similar, but they have not posted any solid timelines for anything past 18.04.1
The HWE kernel releases are a good way to get a rough estimate of future point releases as well.


Kubuntu 18.04, as am LTS should see only LTS Plasma updates, as per usual. The PPAs will provide anything newer than the 5.12.x that is in the normal repos . There is no timeline on PPAs, as sometimes things beyond Kubuntu's control (Qt libraries for example) can keep updates at bay, though usually, once work on the next Ubuntu release gets going, the work done there is usually 'backported' to the current release in the PPAs

Also to note, the point releases for the most part simply are just updated ISO images with all the updates rolled in, but with the .2 version, the HWE is enabled for kernel and driver stack upgrades. Fresh Installs of .0 and .1 have to do this manually.

The next would be 18.04.2, but there isn't a schedule that I can see for that. Perhaps someone with dev connections will pop in with better info. The next big Plasma (5.13) apparently won't happen until there is better Wayland support (https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.12.0.php)

EDIT: And there's claydoh with MUCH better info

Just hoping for a fix for my display issues...
