Ubuntu 25.10 "Questing Quokka" is the next interim release that's on track to be a packed release, with the notable inclusion of sudo-rs and other Rust-based components signaling the oxidation of Ubuntu.
It is expected for an October 2025 release, but meanwhile, a development update by Canonical highlights what we can expect from it.

In line with that, they have set out to include two new applications, Ptyxis and Loupe, which will respectively be the default terminal emulator and image viewer on Ubuntu 25.10.

Currently, the sudo command in Ubuntu is written in C. But Ubuntu 25.10 will default to a new version of sudo written in Rust: sudo-rs.
