Ubuntu Core 26 cuts OTA update size, enables ARM64 Livepatch

Canonical has released Ubuntu Core 26, a new long-term support (LTS) version of its immutable, snap-based OS.

Updates to the Core base snaps specifically drop from 16 MB to 1.5 MB. Installation times are faster as the initramfs-based installer skips redundant reboots during provisioning. Core 26 also enables live kernel patching on ARM64 devices so that critical and high vulnerability kernel security fixes are applied without the need for a device reboot. [...]

It's not quite that dramatic, though the rounded search bar draws from the upcoming Nova redesign with its rounded pill shape (it is also no longer sticky on scroll): Stories stay put, but the 'follow' topic button is now an plus-sign icon left of the section header. You can continue [...]
