    The Name for Kubuntu 25.04 LTS is Plucky Puffin

    Several hours ago I found out that the name of the next Kubuntu distribution, ie 25.04 LTS at the sites:

    https://www.google.com/search?q=name...on&oq=name+for +ubuntu+25.04&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBggBEEUYOzIGCAAQ RRg7MgYIARBFGDvSAQkxODYyN2owajeoAgCwAgA&client=ubu ntu-chr&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8, and:

    I like the name Plucky Puffin as it is a small bird of which there are several species. The Atlantic puffin is shown in the image below.

    At one site I found this comment: Because of their striking appearance they are also referred to as "clowns of the sea" and "sea parrots".

    I consider a name to be very important as we often relate a name to a personality when dealing with people. For software names this can also be important as we start to build up our relationship with a new distribution. I am certainly looking forward to the development of Plucky Puffin.​

    For those of you who are like me, and are not familiar with Ubuntu naming history, you may well be interested in this post that I found. It is at:

    Enjoy the wait for Plucky Puffin release and development.

      LTS ?

      In the past LTS ubuntu releases have been every two years, so the next would be 26.04. On the Plucky Puffin Release notes page there's no mention of LTS.
