Ubuntu 25.10 will include sudo-rs

Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka will include sudo-rs by default as part of a plan to use more Rust-based core system components, such as the Rust CoreUtils “uutils” that will replace the standard GNU CoreUtils written in C. According to the MemorySafety blog, both sudo and su have been rewritten in Rust to ensure that they are memory safe, in comparison to the standard ones that are written in the 1980s.

Earlier, the Rust-based CoreUtils is used as part of a plan that allows Canonical to migrate from the older CoreUtils to the newer one to ensure memory safety. Although there is a drawback involving uutils’ bigger size in comparison to the GNU version, memory safety is more important. Because of this downside, it’s possible that the Docker containers may still use the traditional GNU CoreUtils.

Currently, sudo-rs is maintained by Trifecta Tech Foundation, which announced that Canonical confirmed the sudo-rs migration. This non-profit organization has also announced that this move was “part of a broader effort by Canonical to improve the resilience and maintainability of core system components.”

All this is part of the broader plan that will make sure that Ubuntu uses the Rust infrastructure.

Quokka -Setonix brachyurus

The Quokka, Setonix brachyurus, was described by early Dutch explorer, Willem de Vlamingh, 'as a kind of rat as big as a common cat'. His first sighting of the Quokka was on an island off the mouth of the Swan River. He named the island Rottenest ('rat nest') in honour of this sighting. The island is now known as Rottnest Island.
Essentially, the Quokka looks very much like other wallabies. It has short, very coarse and thick grey-brown fur over most of the body, with lighter parts underneath. Its facial features consist of a naked nose on a short, broad face with rounded furry ears. The tail is relatively short and mostly devoid of hair. In contrast, the hair on the feet extends to cover its claws.
Mainland populations tend to be clustered around dense streamside vegetation but can also be found in shrubland and heath areas, particularly around swamps. Quokkas prefer a warm climate but are adapted to the seasonal variations on Rottnest Island. Here, Quokkas occupy a wide range of semi-arid areas.
This tendency points to the Quokka being a habitat specialist, with a preference for areas that have been burned in the last ten years. They are, however, present on Bald Island, even though there has been a low frequency of fires there. Their success on Bald Island is probably due to their finding suitable food sources and the lack of predators. (Text Source: The Australian Museum)

The central subjects are two small, furry marsupials, quokkas, known for their seemingly cheerful expressions (though not overtly smiling here). They are standing upright on what appears to be sandy or dirt ground. The larger quokka on the left stands slightly taller, while the smaller one on the right has its front paws placed gently on the chest or shoulder area of the larger one. Both animals are looking upwards and slightly towards the right side of the frame, suggesting a shared point of interest outside the viewer's sight.

Ubuntu 25.10 codename confirmed - and a cute mascot it makes, too! https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/04/ubuntu-25-10-named-questing-quokka

If you haven't heard of quokkas, now you have! They're so cute!! There were quite a few facts about them I wanted to include, but there's only so much space; here's an honorary fact about quokkas: These little inhabitants of Rottnest Island and Bald Island in Western Australia are from the same family as kangaroos and wallabies known as Macropodidae. They move around like their cousins by hopping and bounding with their small feet and short tails. Because they’re marsupials, the mothers also carry baby quokkas, known as joeys, in little pouches!

Es ist alles sehr deprimierend. Deswegen hier für euch das erste #Quokka, dem ich in Person begegnet bin.

Just cute Quokkas

Australias is known for dangerous animals. For a change, here is Australia's cutest animal: The Quokka! They live on Rottnest island in Western Australia, just a short ferry ride from Perth / Fremantle.

Quokkas are evil.

Those beedy little black eyes, that oh-so-innocent smile, their cute little paws...

You look into those eyes, and you see the soulless heart of a genocidal dictator. They are plotting our downfall, and it shall be cute.
