Ubuntu 25.04 “Plucky Puffin” is planned to eventually ship with kernel version 6.14.
Deadlines from the Plucky Puffin Release Schedule:
- 2025-03-20T00:00:00Z: Kernel Feature Freeze
- 2025-03-24T00:00:00Z: Beta Freeze / HWE Freeze
- 2025-04-03T00:00:00Z: Kernel Freeze
- 2025-04-10T00:00:00Z: Final Freeze
- 2025-04-17T00:00:00Z: Final Release
According to the kernel crystal ball right now it suggests that v6.14 is released on March 30th, but that would assume both 6.13 and 6.14 to require an rc8, which has not been the case for several kernel versions now. So it is rather likely that we are able to use the final v6.14 release for Plucky, which is nice.
