The Kubuntu Linux developers have announced work to convert the distribution to use the Calamares installer, which is independent of specific Linux distributions and uses the Qt library to create the user interface. Using Calamares will allow you to use a single graphics stack in a KDE-based environment. Lubuntu and UbuntuDDE have already switched from the official editions of Ubuntu to the Calamares installer. In addition to replacing the installer, the project's work also includes the preparation of the spring release of Kubuntu 24.04 LTS, which will be the last release based on KDE 5, and the start of development of a test version with KDE 6, which will serve as the basis for the fall release of Kubuntu 24.10.
