+Kubuntu 23.04 Release is Here!
+======
+
+Kubuntu 23.04 has arrived with KDE Plasma 5.27. Check it out here!
+
+![kubuntu 23.04][1]
+
+If you are looking for a KDE-based distribution, Kubuntu is a no-brainer as an official Ubuntu flavour.
+
+With Kubuntu 23.04, you can expect an enhanced KDE experience and several other improvements.
+
+Let me take you through the highlights of the Kubuntu 23.04 release.
+
+> 💡 Kubuntu 23.04 will be supported for **nine** months until **January 2024**. You can upgrade to Kubuntu 23.10 (upcoming version) if you want an up-to-date and secure system after its end of life.
+
+### 🆕 Kubuntu 23.04: What's New?
+
+![kubuntu 23.04 homescreen][2]
+
+Some of the best bits of the Kubuntu 23.04 release include:
+
+- **KDE Plasma 5.27**
+- **Flatpak Removed**
+- **Discover Improvements**
+- **Plasma Wayland Session for testing**
+- **Pipewire default**
+- **KDE Application updates**
+
+> 📋 This is **not** a [Long-Term Support][3] version. So, for most, you do not need to upgrade. Go ahead only if you want the latest and greatest while willing to upgrade again soon under a year.
+
+#### KDE Plasma 5.27 LTS
+
+KDE Plasma 5.27 is the last 5. x series release before KDE 6 arrives.
+
+So, with the latest KDE Plasma desktop onboard, you can expect all the improvements on the table. Things like enhanced multi-monitor support, a new welcome screen, and other user interface refinements, some of which I shall mention separately.
+
+If you want to explore all about [KDE Plasma 5.27][4], our original coverage should give you better insights:
+
+#### Flatpak Support Removed
+
+Kubuntu included Flatpak by default. However, with the recent Canonical decision to [drop Flatpak support by default][5] for all Ubuntu flavors, Kubuntu 23.04 is no exception.
+
+![checking for snap and flatpak in Kubuntu][6]
+
+You can manually [add Flatpak][7], but you will no longer find it out-of-the-box.
+
+#### Discover Enhancements
+
+As part of KDE Plasma 5.27, Discover has received a significant overhaul for how it lists apps and programs. The Discover store looks more alive and valuable with the editor's choice and popular options.
+
+![discover app][8]
+
+Additionally, you can access more permissions for Flatpak apps through Discover and easily integrate Flatpak apps to Discover right after manually enabling them.

+
+#### Plasma Wayland Session (Testing)
+
+You can now try the Wayland session from the login screen of Kubuntu 23.04.
+
+However, it is only meant for testing and is not fully supported.
+
+#### KDE Application Updates
+
+Every part of the KDE suite has received a version bump, including the file manager, Krunner, and others.
+
+![kde app updates][10]
+
+Krunner, the launcher now prompts for an internet search if it does not find anything matching what you are looking for, as shown in the screenshot below.
+
+![krunner][11]
+
+#### Other Refinements
+
+You will find a new [Linux Kernel 6.2][12], features, and other subtle changes. The highlights worth mentioning include the following:
+
+- **Pipewire as the default audio server**
+- **LibreOffice 7.5**
+- **Firefox 111 snap**
+- **Qt 5.15.8**
+
+You can refer to the [release notes][13] for more technical details.
