📰 Ubuntu 26.04 has a new boot animation (blink and you’ll miss it)

Chances are Ubuntu boots so fast you rarely get time to stare at the boot screen, but if you’re somehow able to slow time down, there’s a new boot spinner to enjoy in 26.04 LTS. The new animation you’ll see on the Plymouth boot screen reuses the sunburst-come-tail from the official Resolute Raccoon mascot, albeit without a bemused Raccoon face staring out at you like he climbed in the washing machine and is now stuck on a spin cycle.
