Waiting to Upgrade to Ubuntu 25.10? Here’s When You Can

According to Canonical’s Matthieu Clemenceau, the plan is to enable upgrades from 25.04 to 25.10 “on or before October 23rd”.

“But Joey,” some may be primed to say, “it is already possible to upgrade to Ubuntu 25.10 from the command-line by running sudo do-release-upgrade -d.”
However, that method is opt-in and unsupported: if the upgrade fails or breaks things, you get to fix things yourself.
