It's the grand reveal of Ubuntu 24.04 Noble Numbat 👑

Witness the coronation of a new mascot:

The numbat, a small enigmatic marsupial from Australia may not be the first creature that comes to mind when one ponders nobility. However, looks can be deceiving.

These incredible and endangered species are actually pocket size anteaters which live purely on ants that they catch with a tongue a third the length of their body. With a back of black and white stripes much like a kingly robe, they were elected as the state animal emblem of Western Australia. The numbat is a testament that those from humble beginnings can make their mark on the world.

Ubuntu, in the same regard, has grown from a fledgling dream of a more human-friendly Linux into a trusted platform that powers millions of devices around the world.

For this LTS (long term support) release we wanted to capture that essence of grandeur and the stateliness of our small Myrmecobiidae friend.
