Ubuntu Linux 27.04 "Tenacious T-Rex" daily builds have been launched, marking the start of public testing for the operating system's 46th release, which is projected to be stable by April 22, 2027. The daily builds currently mirror Ubuntu 26.10 "Stonking Stingray" with updates including Linux kernel 7.3 and GNOME 51, while future updates are expected to introduce newer kernels and software packages. Key features anticipated include a Rust-based time-sync client and the revival of the all-Snap Ubuntu Core Desktop, aimed at improving user experience. Interim releases like this one serve as a testing ground for innovations that will eventually be integrated into the next Long-Term Support (LTS) version, Ubuntu 28.04
