OMG Ubuntu ☛ Why Ubuntu 26.04 upgrades from 24.04 are delayed (until Sept)
If you’re wondering why you can’t do a directly upgrade to Ubuntu 26.04 from 24.04 yet, despite the Resolute Raccoon’s first point release being live, there is a reason. Canonical’s Oliver Reiche said in the mailing list announcement for Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS that upgrades will be delayed by a few weeks to allow couple of backports to land. These will “address regressions in a recent version of rust-coreutils”. Users on Ubuntu 25.10 are not affected by this; upgrades from 25.10 went live in April.

Canonical ☛ Canonical Data Mesh: scaling data governance
Data governance is easy to describe and much harder to operate. Most organizations can define ownership, document policies, and agree that data should be easier to find and trust. The difficult part starts when those ideas have to work across real systems. A pipeline may be running successfully, but nobody knows who owns the source.

Jan-Lukas Else ☛ Ubuntu makes my computer just a tool
What is much more important to me is that developing the small tools I created for myself (all Go-based) is much nicer on Linux. I can quickly start a Docker container and run test workloads in containers. I can easily install tools via Homebrew. Want to try another photo editing app? Just install it as a Flatpak and easily remove it again when not needed anymore.
