🦀 Ubuntu 25.10 Looks To Make Use Of Rust Coreutils & Other Rust System Components
—@phoronix

｢ Cited as the motivation are performance benefits as well as added safety provided by the Rust programming language. Among the Rust components initially being evaluated are the uutils version of cureitls, findutils, and diffutils. The sudo-rs software as the Rust written sudo is also being evaluated ｣

After doing an extremely simple post about the official @ubuntu Plucky Puffin wallpapers (must admit I thought my post title was genius) Well for me I personally picked for my own desktop this wallpaper. As an ex graphic designer this one hits better for me. (The pic ain't that great, two separate monitors, from different manufacturers, pic taken on a mid range phone for a change) #ubuntu #linux

#Ubuntu sostituirà le #GNU coreutils (i programmi di base dei sistemi unix like tipo #Linux, come cp, ls, cd, mkdir ecc.) con delle nuove versioni riscritte in #Rust. Probabilmente le motivazioni tecniche alla base di questa scelta sono anche valide, tuttavia le nuove utilities (chiamate #uutils) avranno una licenza MIT. Contrariamente alla GPL che obbliga chiunque modifica il software a rilasciare il sorgente modificato la MIT consente a chi vuole di rendere proprietarie le versioni modificate

This is fascinating. #ubuntu is going all in on #rust for core utils. Very encouraging to see such a prominent distro take this route. 😎 It's with experimentation and care do we get better.

In this post, I’ll focus on “Modernisation”. There are many areas we could look to modernise in Ubuntu: we could focus on the graphical shell experience, the virtualisation stack, core system utilities, default shell utilities, etc. Over the years, projects like GNU Coreutils have been instrumental in shaping the Unix-like experience that Ubuntu ...

In other personal news, after feeling increasingly alienated by #Apple's slow & steady #enshitification, I fired up an #Ubuntu desktop using a tricked up Pi 5, just to see how viable the Linux lifestyle could be. It's been lots of highs & lows; documention is extensive, but large swathes of it is outdated, and forum support has been sadly dismissive- the answers I got were clipped & confusing. But then, so were my first questions, I suppose..

We press on; and there are always better forums, je?

Ubuntu to replace classic coreutils and more with new Rust-based alternatives

After so much terrible tech politics news, let's focus on some nice, easy-going Linux news that's not going to be controversial at all: Ubuntu intends to replace numerous core Linux utilities with newer Rust replacements, starting with the ubiquitous GNU Coreutils.
