Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka will improve your desktop experience

Last month, Ubuntu 25.10 development had started by updating the Ubuntu repository servers to serve new information for this upcoming version of Ubuntu, which is the final interim release before the next Long Term Support (LTS) release, which will be Ubuntu 26.04 LTS RR. The roadmap has been finally shared on the Ubuntu Discourse forums to let you know about how this version of Ubuntu will progress.

According to the roadmap, the following key features of Ubuntu 25.10 (our curation) will be:

• Desktop Experience
  • GNOME 49 will land to this version of Ubuntu to bring in some of Wayland-related improvements, especially when you’re on a computer that uses NVIDIA graphics cards, the latest being NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50xx series.
  • Loupe will be used by default as a new image editor that will streamline your user experience. Meanwhile, a new terminal emulator, Ptyxis (or GNOME Prompt), will be used in lieu of the older GNOME Terminal, all under the GNOME umbrella.
  • If you are gaming on Ubuntu, the Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) feature has been added to Mutter to improve your gaming performance on compatible monitors, such as the latest Samsung Odyssey gaming monitors.
  • RISC-V users will be able to experience the full Ubuntu Desktop for the first time, especially as this processor architecture gains in popularity. Basic applications, such as Mozilla Firefox, will be usable there.
• TPM-backed FDE
  • Full disk encryption will be backed by your TPM chip that is either discrete or integrated, especially when you’re using TPM 2.0. The recovery key management will be available to you, where you’ll be able to view, save, and print your recovery key during the installation stage. You can regenerate the key later, in case you lost it. You will be able to use your PIN.
  • In addition to that, firmware updates, especially the BIOS ones, may trigger a “hardware change” detection mechanism, which will cause your system to prompt you for your recovery key to unlock your hard drive again. Taking this into account, the firmware updater will give you a warning message when you proceed to upgrade the firmware. BIOS updates will only be done if you’ve enabled UEFI capsule and you’re booting Ubuntu in UEFI mode.
• Ubuntu Desktop Documentation
  • Starting from this version of Ubuntu, the documentation will be refined to diverge from the traditional and hard-to-follow generic documentation to the more refined docs to allow end users to learn more about the Ubuntu Desktop more efficiently.
• Accessibility
  • While accessibility remains a core part of Ubuntu’s mission, the Ubuntu team is preparing to follow all the rules by the deadline of the European Accessibility Act (EAA) enforcement, which will be in June 2025.
  • Accessibility features will be improved to make sure that everyone will be able to use the Ubuntu desktop.

The release timeline will be as follows:

• Feature Freeze: August 14, 2025
• User Interface Freeze: September 4, 2025
• Beta Release: September 18, 2025
• Final Release: October 9, 2025

Stay tuned for more Ubuntu updates!

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 is now live!

Red Hat has just released the tenth version of the enterprise-grade Linux distribution, called Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. While no announcement has been made yet, this version is now available to download through the customer portal on your Red Hat account with an appropriate subscription.

For those who are running Red Hat Enterprise Linux on modern servers, the performance has been improved so that your servers can process information more quickly than before. In addition to that, a newer Linux kernel release has been employed to add support for more desktops and servers, including those that use very recent hardware.

For those that are running this version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux on desktops, the GNOME desktop has been updated to use Wayland rather than the more antique X11 server. Furthermore, more packages have been updated to their latest versions so that you can experience new features introduced in those versions.

KDE discontinues Plasma LTS releases, reduces feature update to 2 in a year instead of 3, offers extended bug-fix support period:
https://news.itsfoss.com/kde-plasma-lts-discontinued/
(Well done, KDE! In my experience, the biggest issue with Plasma has always been the amount of annoying bugs and crashes, which kind of negated the experience for me, despite the cool extra features and the extensive customization options. However, this new strategy might pay off in the long term, and make Plasma a more stable experience.)

CachyOS April 2025 update released

CachyOS, a Linux distribution that is known for its high performance for computers and for handheld gaming consoles, has been updated to the April 2025 version that improves your gaming experience and overall computer performance. This version is a minor version that focuses on fixing module crashes for some ASUS laptops and improving the Limine bootloader support.

For portable gaming consoles, this update adds audio profiles to the distribution for the ASUS ROG Ally X and the Lenovo Legion Go consoles to make gaming more immersive than before. It also allows you to use the OCCT benchmark tool to perform hardware tests without the need for an Internet connection.

To further enhance gaming performance, Valve’s upstream Gamescope is also used instead of gamescope-plus to provide compositing for games. The former composition is used by the Steam Deck gaming console, while the latter is a collection of patches to the ChimeraOS’ Gamescope implementation.

To download this version of CachyOS, refer to this page.
