Canonical released Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS today as the newest point release to the Noble Numbat.
Ubuntu 24.04.4 rolls up all the security updates over the past few months into the new ISO releases. Plus with Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS comes the updated hardware enablement “HWE” stack in now pulling in key packages from Ubuntu 25.10. This most notably brings the Linux 6.17 kernel for those wanting the better hardware support or other newer kernel versions atop the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.
In addition to Linux 6.17, Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS also has Mesa 25.2.8, an updated Snap, Firefox 147, and other select updates.
