Ubuntu Desktop 26.10 "Stonking Stingray" Roadmap: Building toward Ubuntu 28.04 LTS

Some of the more interesting points:
- transition from dbus-daemon to dbus-broker
- package-agnostic App Center
- simplified installation experience that dramatically reduces complexity during partitioning and storage configuration
- new onboarding experience that moves personalization and system setup into a dedicated first-boot experience. Rather than asking users to make every decision during installation
- on-device speech-to-text engine integrated as a native desktop input method, providing a foundation for fast, private, and offline voice interaction
Wish there was a better text-to-speech engine rather than speech-to-text. I tend to want my computer to speak to me more than I want to speak to my computer.
Guess that’s just me.
I assume you are talking about eSpeak? It sounds very robotic (and bad). Maybe Mozilla's TTS is an option, I don't know. Source https://github.com/mozilla/TTSand some examples https://erogol.com/ddc-samples/.
Stinking Shuttleworth?
