Here are three standout enhancements that Kubuntu 25.10 brings to your desktop, designed to make your workflow faster, more secure, and visually stunning: KDE Plasma 6.4, a refined and responsive desktop dive into the fifth feature release of Plasma 6, complete with Qt 6.8 and Frameworks 6.17.0. This update refines the desktop with smoother animations, improved widget customization, and better multi-monitor handling. It's a big win for productivity, letting you tailor your environment like never before while enjoying the stability of Ubuntu's core. Plasma Wayland as default session, say goodbye to legacy X11 limitations - Wayland is now the go-to session for superior graphics rendering, reduced latency, and enhanced security. With hardware-accelerated compositing baked in, you'll notice snappier video playback and app responsiveness. (X11 fans, no worries: it's still available via a simple package install.) This shift future-proofs your setup for the next era of Linux desktops. Rust-powered sudo-rs for safer system management leveraging Ubuntu's new memory-safe implementations, Kubuntu defaults to sudo-rs, a Rust-based re-implementation of sudo.
