Almost at the same time that were published the first Daily Build of Ubuntu 25.10, Canonical, on the other hand, he presented The development schedule for Questing Quokka. Except for the codename announcement, everything related to Ubuntu 25.10 is proceeding as planned, and there won't be any surprises regarding the stable release. Just one thing that caught my attention.
Ubuntu 25.10 will arrive on October 9, 2025October is the usual month for releases ending in 10, but what's a little surprising is that it's in the first third of the month. In recent and not-so-recent releases, stable releases for April and October have arrived in the second or third third of the fourth and tenth months of the year.

If you're interested in learning about the new features that the next version of Canonical's system will introduce, the best thing you can do is read specialized media like Ubunlog. It's known that, barring surprises, will use GNOME 49, and a kernel that will be between Linux 6.17 and 6.18, which is being developed a month before the final release. For everything else, the only confirmed news is that it will switch to using sweat-rs, a new sudo implementation written in Rust that offers improved security.
If you decide to try the Daily Build, keep in mind that the most exciting changes will take some time to arrive.
