Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka has landed, marking the final interim release before Ubuntu 26.04 LTS,  and it’s a bold one. Interim releases have always been the proving grounds for features that define the next LTS, and this cycle is no exception. From memory-safe reimplementations of foundational tools to hardware-backed encryption, post-

The history of computing is a story of incredible change, but not every revolution happens at the same speed. It took decades to downsize the mainframe, invent the microprocessor, and bring computing into personal devices. Today, we are witnessing a new era: the move from massive, centralized AI clusters to powerful, on-device AI PCs. And

The latest interim release of Ubuntu comes with compatibility enhancements at the silicon level, accessibility upgrades and a robust security posture that sets the stage for the next LTS.
