from the new-and-improved dept.
prisoninmate shares a report from 9to5Linux: Dubbed Questing Quokka, Ubuntu 25.10 is powered by the latest and greatest Linux 6.17 kernel series for top-notch hardware support and ships with the latest GNOME 49 desktop environment, defaulting to a Wayland-only session for the Ubuntu Desktop flavor, meaning there's no other session to choose from the login screen. Ubuntu Desktop also ships with two new apps, namely GNOME's Loupe instead of Eye of GNOME as the default image viewer, as well as Ptyxis instead of GNOME Terminal as the default terminal emulator. Also, there's a new update notification that will be shown with options to open Software Updater or install updates directly.'
Other highlights of Ubuntu 25.10 include sudo-rs as the default implementation of sudo, Dracut as the default initramfs-tools, Chrony as the default NTP (Network Time Protocol) client, Rust Coreutils as the default implementation of GNU Core Utilities, and TPM-backed FDE (Full Disk Encryption) recovery key management. Moreover, Ubuntu 25.10 adds NVIDIA Dynamic Boost support and enables suspend-resume support in the proprietary NVIDIA graphics driver to prevent corruption and freezes when waking an NVIDIA desktop. For Intel users, Ubuntu 25.10 introduces support for new Intel integrated and discrete GPUs. Ubuntu 25.10 is available for download here.

Here's the thing - the .10 releases are really beta releases for the next LTS - as in 26.04 LTS.
The only way to push the projects forward is to actually do it, and why not do it on a .10 release. This gives all those projects 6 months of a high profile distribution to work out the flood of issues that will come in and fix things.
Wayland is coming - as most have deprecated X already and have started using Wayland. But now's the time to cut the cord and drop X altogether and have 6 months to fix any issues th

I had to have at least 6.12 to have drivers for all my hardware, and Debian is even now still only on 6.11. I'm using 6.14 now because that's the newest that will work without making other changes, and I've been uninterested in figuring it out as this is new enough for my purposes otherwise.
Back in times of yore it was normal to build your own kernel, and today Debian and Linux together make it very easy once you get through the long-winded documentation, as the files you need to make the debs are in the kernel sources. Especially if you are willing to go version by minor version, but often even if you want to skip a number of them, you can usually just make oldconfig and hold down enter...

Yuck.
There are so many reasons to use Linux Mint, instead.
But, "congrats", I guess.

Where is the Arm64 support? It's easier to install Linux on a Macbook than on a modern arm64 Windows laptop. Canonical expects us to stick with x86 until the year of Linux Desktop arrives.

I'd be happy if they picked one of the irritating security systems like app armor and stuck with it. Oh and make all packages snap packages but fix the damn security so that it works out of the box. Even better, trash snap and the other.
Also, keep one update repo and don't change it with every release. Just update the damn packages. And stop fucking with the damn security.
Some of us have day jobs and don't want to figure out some damn Yahoo's ever changing idea of app security.

As Rust is a static compilation language, to avoid a 1GiB Rust-coreutils, you got a single 9MiB binary doing all the command, quite similar to busybox but:
- it is 10 times larger than busybox (900 KiB)
- original C-coreutils are independents few KiB binary without interaction between them.
Thus:
- Rust coreutils has a much larger attack surface due to interaction between formerly separated binary.
- Rust binary reading/validation against rootkit is harder in a single big file than in many tiny independent ones.
