    Kubuntu 26.04 - 5 years of flavour support?

    In the title of the forum's Kubuntu 26.04 section it says: "[…] This Kubuntu release will reach EOL (End of Life) for its 5 years of flavor support April 2031. […]".
    Is this correct? I would be thrilled, because 26.04 is the final Kubuntu LTS that will be able to run a "real" Plasma X11 session.

    But I fear it should say something like "[…] This Kubuntu release will reach EOL (End of Life) for its 5 years of core components support April 2031. […]" instead.
    I hope that I am wrong…

    Sorry, 26.04 is only 3 years.

    And as the release notes say, although the the X11 session package exists in the archive, the Kubuntu team will not support that. Even within the 3 years,

      Thank you for clearing that up.

      OT:
      I am aware that a "real" X11 session is not officially supported anymore - but at least I can still install it for customers and friends if necessary (and it is in several cases at the moment…).

        I fixed the EOL timeframe. Apologies. I should have noticed that
