Canonical has announced the release of Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS, the third point release in the long-term supported Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) series. This new version is now available for download and brings along several updates, including featuring the Linux Kernel 6.14.
Launched six months after Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS, this release aims to provide a more current installation media for users looking to set up new systems with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. It simplifies deployment by reducing post-installation package updates, streamlining the user experience.
In addition to the updated kernel, Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS also utilizes the Mesa 25.0 graphics stack sourced from the upcoming Ubuntu 25.04 (Plucky Puffin) release. Previous iterations of this release, including Ubuntu 24.04 and its first point release, were equipped with Linux kernel 6.8, while Ubuntu 24.04.2 utilized Linux kernel 6.11. This newer kernel improves compatibility with modern hardware.
Users can download Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS in various editions including Desktop and Server flavors, as well as other official variants like Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, and more from the official Ubuntu website.
Looking ahead, Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS is scheduled for release in February 2026, promising further enhancements such as a more up-to-date kernel and graphics stacks from the anticipated Ubuntu 25.10 (Questing Quokka), set to launch on October 9, 2025. The support for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is expected to last until June 2029, making it a stable option for users seeking longevity and reliability in their operating system. For those who prefer the latest features, the Ubuntu 25.04 release may be a more desirable choice.
