Ubuntu 26.04 LTS "Resolute Raccoon" was released on April 23, 2026 with Linux kernel 7.0, GNOME desktop, and standard security support until April 2031. A clean install gives you a known-good starting point on new hardware, when replacing another operating system, or when an upgrade path is not practical.

Change Timezone on Ubuntu: timedatectl and Desktop GUI Guide

The correct timezone affects more than the clock on your screen. It drives cron job scheduling, systemd timer execution, log file timestamps, database record timing, and SSL certificate validity checks. A mismatched timezone can cause scheduled jobs to fire at the wrong hour and make log timestamps impossible to match with real-world events. This guide shows how to change timezone on Ubuntu using the timedatectl command (the recommended approach for servers and remote machines) and through the graphical Date & Time settings on desktop systems. The steps apply to all current Ubuntu releases including 24.04 and 26.04. <strong>Prerequisite:</strong>&nbsp;Only&nbsp;the&nbsp;root&nbsp;user&nbsp;or&nbsp;a&nbsp;user&nbsp;with&nbsp;sudo&nbsp;access&nbsp;can&nbsp;change&nbsp;the&nbsp;system&nbsp;timezone.
