Ubuntu 25.04 (Plucky Puffin) Beta

Desktop image

The desktop image allows you to try Ubuntu without changing your computer at all, and at your option to install it permanently later. This type of image is what most people will want to use. You will need at least 1024MiB of RAM to install from this image.

For 64-bit ARMv8 processors and above.

Server install image

The server install image allows you to install Ubuntu permanently on a computer for use as a server. It will not install a graphical user interface.

For 64-bit ARMv8 processors and above.

For POWER9 and POWER10 Little-Endian systems.

For RISC-V computers. Requires copying your own first stage bootloader (like u-boot) and relevant DTBs onto the image before usage on real hardware (like the SiFive HiFive Unmatched).

For IBM System z series mainframes, such as IBM LinuxONE.

Netboot tarball

The netboot tarball contains files needed to boot the Ubuntu installer over the network.

For 64-bit ARMv8 processors and above.

For POWER9 and POWER10 Little-Endian systems.

For RISC-V computers. Requires copying your own first stage bootloader (like u-boot) and relevant DTBs onto the image before usage on real hardware (like the SiFive HiFive Unmatched).

For IBM System z series mainframes, such as IBM LinuxONE.

WSL image

The WSL image is the root filesystem to be installed and launched by the Windows Subsystem for Linux.

For 64-bit ARMv8 processors and above.

Preinstalled desktop image

The preinstalled-desktop image allows you to unpack a preinstalled version of Ubuntu onto a target device.

For modern Raspberry Pi boards (Pi 3, 4, 5, CM4, and Zero 2 W).

Preinstalled server image

The preinstalled-server image allows you to unpack a preinstalled version of Ubuntu onto a target device.

For modern Raspberry Pi boards (Pi 3, 4, 5, CM4, and Zero 2 W).

For RISC-V computers. Requires copying your own first stage bootloader (like u-boot) and relevant DTBs onto the image before usage on real hardware (like the SiFive HiFive Unmatched). Usable on RISC-V QEMU.

For RISC-V computers, with support for SiFive HiFive Unmatched.

For RISC-V computers, with support for Allwinner Nezha

For RISC-V computers, with support for Sipeed LicheeRV Dock

For RISC-V computers, with support for Microchip Polarfire Icicle Kit

For RISC-V computers, with support for Microchip PIC64GX

For RISC-V computers, with support for JH7110 boards
