The same here...I've been testing for some time also in QEMU/KVM and it has been stable for me. The snap issue seems to have been resolved mostly from my testing. I can click refresh to show no updates available after a snap update. I haven't had any issues to note since then. My last reply August 2, 2026 here:

I have a screenshot from my Kubuntu 26.10 here:

I'd like to try it on real hardware to see if everything works as well as as it does on Kubuntu 26.04. I'm mostly concerned about my old graphics card support since I use the nvidia-driver-580 (proprietory, tested).

Kubuntu website still shows Kubuntu 26.10 in beta status currently.
https://kubuntu.org/

Ubuntu website says, "Ubuntu 26.10 was released on 15 October 2026."

Maybe we need time for things to be updated. I don't see any updates yet.

... The snap issue seems to have been resolved...

Correction... It is not resolved. It hung today after Snap and Flatpak updates with the Refresh trigger button grayed out. I had to click another section (example: Installed or Home) before the Updates section completed and said "Up to date" with the Refresh trigger active again.
