It was a very interesting year for Ubuntu Linux. Ahead of the important Ubuntu 26.04 LTS release due out this coming April, Ubuntu Linux this year was expeditiously migrating to new Rust-based system tools like sudo-rs and Rust Coreutils, new performance optimizations continued to be explored for bettering the out-of-the-box Ubuntu performance, better ARM64 support with its desktop ISO, and enhancing the Snapdragon X Elite laptop support were among the Ubuntu highlights in 2025.

Out of the 120+ original Ubuntu Linux news articles on Phoronix -- and not counting the hundreds of reviews / featured benchmark articles using Ubuntu -- below is a look at the most popular Ubuntu news on Phoronix for this calendar year. It will be interesting to see what more Canonical rolls out in the coming months for the all-important Ubuntu 26.04 LTS release. Also if we hear anything more in 2026 about a potential Canonical IPO.
