Ubuntu 25.10 è ora disponibile. Novità e download per tutte le versioni ufficiali.

Oggi è il 9 novembre e Canonical ha rilasciato Ubuntu 25.10 . Sebbene ogni volta che sentiamo la parola "Ubuntu" pensiamo a un sistema operativo, in realtà è la base per la versione principale con GNOME e le altre versioni, sia ufficiali che non ufficiali (come Linux Mint). Questo articolo discute le versioni ufficiali, che sono in totale undici.

Abbiamo pubblicato questo articolo non appena l'immagine ISO della versione principale è stata disponibile per il download. Altre versioni, come Edubuntu, Kubuntu e Lubuntu, erano già disponibili ore prima. Questo post verrà aggiornato con informazioni non appena ne saremo a conoscenza, comprese eventuali novità rilasciate da una delle versioni ufficiali. Ecco i punti salienti di ogni versione.

Notizie generali sulla famiglia dei Quokka in cerca di cibo

Come abbiamo detto, tutte le versioni ufficiali sono "Ubuntu" e condividono la stessa base, a meno che una di esse non decida di non adottarne una, il che non è molto comune. L'elenco generale delle nuove funzionalità sarebbe il seguente:

• Supportato per 9 mesi, fino a luglio 2026.
• Linux 6.17 . Non posso confermare se la versione inclusa subito sia una Release Candidate, ma non dovrebbe esserlo perché la versione stabile è disponibile da 10 giorni.
• Dracut sostituisce initramfs-tools come generatore initramfs predefinito.
• Miglioramenti al supporto di avvio ARM64, con l'aggiunta di uno stub UEFI minimo "stubble" per migliorare la compatibilità di avvio.
• sudo ora è sudo-rs, un'implementazione predefinita di Rust. La versione tradizionale rimane disponibile per compatibilità.
• LibreOffice 25.8.
• Viene introdotto Ubuntu Insights , che sostituisce Ubuntu Report per raccogliere metriche di sistema (senza dati personali) e richiede il consenso esplicito dell'utente.
• Pacchetti aggiornati alle versioni più recenti, tra cui:
  • GCC 15.2.
  • glibc 2.42.
  • Binutils 2.45.
  • LLVM 20.
  • Ruggine 1,85.
  • Vai 1.24.
  • OpenJDK 25.
  • Python 3.13.7.
  • OpenSSL 3.5.
  • Tabella 25.2.
  • APT 3.1.
  • systemd 257.9.
  • PipeWire 1.4.7.
  • BlueZ 5.83.
  • Gstreamer 1.26.6.
  • Power Profiles Daemon 0.30.

Ed eccoci qui con le novità e i download (dal pulsante) di ogni versione.

Ubuntu 25.10: Nuove funzionalità oltre il desktop

Oltre alle modifiche condivise, Ubuntu 25.10 include la nuova funzionalità più importante del desktop GNOME 49 , tra cui un file manager aggiornato con una finestra di ricerca ridisegnata e più funzionale. Le icone dei tipi di file ora presentano un sottile bordo tratteggiato che le rende più facili da distinguere durante l'interazione. Inoltre, è stata aggiunta una nuova scorciatoia: Ctrl+ ., che apre la cartella corrente direttamente nel terminale.

La schermata di blocco acquisisce importanza grazie al supporto per il protocollo MPRIS , che mostra un widget con controlli multimediali durante la riproduzione di contenuti. È inoltre presente un menu di accessibilità , che offre più opzioni senza dover effettuare l'accesso.

La modalità "Non disturbare" è stata spostata nelle impostazioni rapide nella barra delle applicazioni, mentre l' app Impostazioni presenta un'interfaccia più pulita e coerente. Anche le animazioni di sistema sono state migliorate, migliorando la fluidità complessiva.

Tra le modifiche all'applicazione, Ptyxis diventa il nuovo terminale predefinito e Loupe assume il ruolo di visualizzatore di immagini predefinito. Infine, X11 scompare come server grafico primario , consolidando la transizione finale a Wayland .

Kubuntu 25.10: Addio a X11 con una mossa rischiosa

Il team di Kubuntu ha lavorato duramente per rilasciare la versione 25.10 con l'ultima novità dell'ecosistema KDE: Plasma 6.4 , interamente basato su Qt 6. Questa è la quinta versione principale della serie 6, una versione che perfeziona ulteriormente la transizione alla prossima generazione del desktop KDE.

Di default, il sistema si avvia con Plasma Wayland , rafforzando il passaggio a un ambiente moderno ed efficiente. Chi preferisce il classico X11 può continuare a utilizzarlo senza complicazioni semplicemente installando il pacchetto plasma-session-x11.

Kubuntu 25.10 include Qt 6.8 e KDE Frameworks 6.17.0 , garantendo la compatibilità con le più recenti tecnologie del framework KDE. Tuttavia, il supporto per le applicazioni più vecchie basate su Qt5 e Frameworks 5 rimane invariato, con le versioni Qt 5.15.17 e KDE Frameworks 5.116.0 disponibili nei repository.

Tutte le applicazioni della suite KDE Gear incluse nei repository Ubuntu o Debian sono state aggiornate almeno alla versione 25.08 , garantendo coerenza, stabilità e accesso agli ultimi miglioramenti dell'ecosistema KDE.

Lubuntu 25.10, un aggiornamento nell'ambiente più leggero

La novità più importante di Lubuntu 25.10 è il passaggio a LXQt 2.2, il desktop di cui abbiamo parlato ad aprile di quest'anno . Inoltre, alcuni pacchetti sono stati aggiornati, come

• Qt 6.8.3
• LibreOffice 25.8
• VLC 3.0.21
• Featherpad 1.6.2
• Scopri Software Center 6.4.5

Xubuntu 25.10 rimane su Xfce 4.20 mentre recupera

La versione di Ubuntu basata su Xfce utilizza Xfce, ovviamente, ma anche componenti di altri desktop. In Questing Quokka, Xubuntu utilizza Xfce 4.20, una versione con gli ultimi aggiornamenti, miglioramenti di stabilità e un maggiore supporto per Wayland. Inoltre, molte applicazioni provengono direttamente da GNOME 49 e MATE 1.26.

Ubuntu Budgie 25.10, ultima tappa verso Wayland

Lo sviluppo di questa versione si è concentrato sulla transizione a un ambiente basato su Wayland , un cambiamento che sarà completato nella versione 26.04 con Budgie Desktop 10.10 , che sarà esclusivamente Wayland. Per ora, Budgie 25.10 continua a utilizzare Xorg , sebbene gli utenti possano provare Wayland tramite un PPA.

Tra i miglioramenti più degni di nota:

• È incluso Budgie Desktop 10.9.3 , che supporta GNOME 49 e con nuove chiavi specifiche in gsettings , che ti obbligano a riconfigurare le chiavi personalizzate.
• Il Budgie Control Center è stato aggiornato, mantenendo la compatibilità con le tavolette Wacom nonostante le modifiche a GNOME.
• Il nuovo compositore sarà basato su wlroots (labwc) , leggero e veloce, con un'integrazione perfetta delle modifiche di GNOME.
• Anche Wayfire e Mir sono stati testati come alternative sperimentali.
• Il vecchio gnome-screensaver non c'è più , sostituito da swaylock (o gtklock per chi preferisce lo stile classico).
• Diversi applet ufficiali e di terze parti funzionano già con Wayland.
• I temi Pocillo e QogirBudgie sono stati completamente adattati a Snaps , migliorando l'integrazione visiva.
• Lo sfondo e l'app di benvenuto sono stati aggiornati, ora includendo impostazioni specifiche per "Questing".

Ubuntu MATE 25.10

In attesa di conoscere l'elenco delle nuove funzionalità.

Ubuntu Studio 25.10 introduce la barra in stile macOS e aggiorna il suo metapacchetto per i creatori di contenuti

Ubuntu Studio 25.10 è ricco di miglioramenti volti a rendere l'esperienza più confortevole e potente sia per i creatori di contenuti che per gli utenti abituali. Tra le modifiche più evidenti c'è un layout opzionale in stile macOS , con dock inferiore e menu globale, progettato per chi desidera una transizione più familiare. Inoltre, le impostazioni audio sono state ampliate, offrendo nuove opzioni per personalizzare l'esperienza sonora.

Nel settore musicale, le novità più importanti includono l'aggiunta di JackTrip , che consente di collegare graficamente l'audio tra più dispositivi per la collaborazione remota, e il ritorno di IDJC (Internet DJ Console) dopo anni di assenza. Sono stati inoltre aggiunti numerosi plugin audio e sintetizzatori , e sono stati aggiornati strumenti essenziali come PipeWire 1.4.7 , Audacity 3.7.5 e Carla 2.5.10 , garantendo un flusso di lavoro più stabile e moderno.

Anche il reparto grafica e fotografia non è da meno. GIMP 3.0.4 , Krita 5.2.11 e Inkscape 1.4.2 offrono un ambiente potente per l'editing delle immagini, mentre digiKam 8.7.0 rimane il punto di riferimento per la gestione delle foto. Sono disponibili anche nuove applicazioni come Photocollage e PicPlanner , che ampliano le possibilità creative degli utenti.

Per i video, KDEnlive 25.08.1 e Freeshow 1.4.9 garantiscono un flusso di lavoro di editing più raffinato ed efficiente.

Per quanto riguarda l' ambiente desktop , Ubuntu Studio 25.10 è basato su KDE Plasma 6.4.5 , accompagnato da KDE Frameworks 6.17 , Qt 6.8.3 e KDE Gear 25.08.1 , offrendo un desktop moderno, veloce e coerente con le ultime tecnologie KDE.

Tra i pacchetti multimediali più rilevanti ci sono Blender 4.3.2, Krita 5.2.11, GIMP 3.0.4, Ardour 8.12.0, Scribus 1.6.3, Darktable 5.0.1, Inkscape 1.4.2, Carla 2.5.10, OBS Studio 30.2.3, MyPaint 2.0.1, Audacity 3.7.5 e KDEnlive 25.08.1, che offrono una suite completa per i creatori.

Edubuntu 25.10 aggiorna il desktop e aggiunge altri giochi per l'apprendimento.

Non ci sono molte novità da evidenziare in Edubuntu 25.10, poiché si tratta sostanzialmente della versione principale con i metapacchetti didattici. Le app e il desktop sono stati aggiornati, utilizzando lo stesso GNOME 49 della versione principale. Inoltre, sono stati aggiunti più giochi didattici e Thunderbird è ora il client di posta elettronica preferito, in sostituzione di Geany.

Ubuntu Unity 25.10

In attesa dell'elenco delle nuove funzionalità e del link per il download, che non è ancora stato pubblicato.

Anche l'esperienza visiva riceve attenzione: il tema Yaru-Cinnamon è stato aggiornato, offrendo un aspetto più curato e moderno, grazie al lavoro della community e di sviluppatori come Initu Castilhos .

Ubuntu Kylin 25.10 arriva con Ukui 4.0

Ubuntu Kylin 25.10 utilizza UKUI 4.0 come ambiente grafico e ha aggiornato le applicazioni per renderle più recenti.

Ubuntu 21.04 "Hirsute Hippo" e derivate ufficiali rilasciate, conosci le novità più importanti.

Tra le principali innovazioni presentate in Ubuntu 21.04 "Hirsute Hippo" possiamo vedere che il raffinato kernel Linux è stato aggiornato alla versione 5.11 , che include il supporto per l'enclave Intel SGX, un nuovo meccanismo per intercettare le chiamate di sistema, un bus di aiuto virtuale, un rapido filtraggio di chiamate di sistema in seccomp, cessazione del supporto per l'architettura ia64, trasferimento della tecnologia WiMAX al ramo di staging, capacità di incapsulare SCTP in UDP.

Mentre per la parte desktop, è inclusa la versione 3.38 di GNOME , ma con la caratteristica che contiene applicazioni GNOME sincronizzate con lo sviluppo di GNOME 40.

Questa decisione di non includere la versione 40 è stata dovuta agli sviluppatori Canonical che hanno affermato che il passaggio alla nuova versione è stato ancora troppo presto.

Rilasciata Ubuntu 21.04 "Hirsute Hippo" e derivate ufficiali.

Ecco l'elenco di tutti i rilasci via Distrowatch.

Ubuntu 21.04 "Hirsute Hippo".

Canonical has released Ubuntu 21.04 which carries the code name "Hirsute Hippo". The distribution's new version ships with GNOME running on a Wayland session as the default desktop and includes the built-in ability to join Active Directory domains. "Ubuntu machines can join an Active Directory (AD) domain at installation for central configuration. AD administrators can now manage Ubuntu workstations, which simplifies compliance with company policies. Ubuntu 21.04 adds the ability to configure system settings from an AD domain controller. Using a Group Policy Client, system administrators can specify security policies on all connected clients, such as password policies and user access control, and Desktop environment settings, such as login screen, background and favourite apps. Ubuntu 21.04 uses Wayland by default, a significant leap forward in security. Firefox, OBS Studio and many applications built with Electron and Flutter take advantage of Wayland automatically, for smoother graphics and better fractional scaling." Additional details can be found in the distribution's release announcement and in the release notes.

It uses the Materia theme and the icons are Papirus icons. Studio Controls has seen further development as its own independent project and has been updated to version 2.1.4. Ardour 6.6+ (a future 6.7 snapshot). Ardour has been updated to version 6.6+, meaning this is a git snapshot of what will eventually be Ardour 6.7. This had to be done because Ardour 6.5 started to fail to build with a newer library introduced into the Ubuntu archives, and could only be resolved with this snapshot. We hope to have Ardour 6.7 in via official updates once released. Agordejo is new to Ubuntu Studio this release.

Martin Wimpress has announced the release of Ubuntu MATE 18.04, the latest version of the popular Ubuntu variant featuring the MATE desktop environment. This new version comes with the new MATE 1.20.1: "The MATE Desktop has transitioned from the GTK+ 2.24-based MATE 1.12 to the very latest MATE 1.20.1 based on GTK+ 3.22. This migration has been several years in the making, and most of 2016 and 2017 was spent refining the GTK+ 3 implementation. The move to GTK+ 3 has made it possible to introduce many of the new features you'll read about below. Support for libinput has been added and is now the default input handler for mouse and touchpad, which has resulted in much improved responsiveness and support for multi-finger touch gestures. Thanks to our friends at Hypra.fr, accessibility support (particularly for visually impaired users) has seen continued development and improvement. MATE Desktop is proud to provide visually impaired users the most accessible open-source desktop environment. MATE Desktop 1.20 supports HiDPI displays and if you have one then Ubuntu MATE will automatically enable pixel scaling, presenting you with a super crisp desktop and applications."
