Lubuntu 25.10 came out on 17 April 2025, the same day as all the other Ubuntu flavors. It is the middle of three interim releases and comes with nine months of support, until January 2026. This development cycle is working towards the next long term support version (LTS), which will be Lubuntu 26.04 LTS, scheduled for April 2026. | Lubuntu 25.10 came out on 17 April 2025, the same day as all the other Ubuntu flavors.

The developers have also changed the way the Lubuntu minimal installation works. In the past, it ran a full installation and then used an automated script using APT to remove the non-desired packages. As can be imagined, that resulted in a slower installation process. This has now been changed to a separate installation squashfs file instead. It is worth noting that the minimal installation does not include snapd to enable Snap packages. | The developers have also changed the way the Lubuntu minimal installation works.

- | "Not new" in this release is the display server used, which remains as X11 rather than a Wayland-based one. The last release, Lubuntu 24.10, and this one, were each intended to include Wayland support, but it did not happen. The developers indicated that they prioritized stability and decided to hold Wayland until the next release, writing “this is the last time we are delaying this." The intention is that the next release, Lubuntu 25.10, will use Miriway as its default Wayland compositor, backed by the .deb-based Mir 2.20. If for some reason that slips again, that would leave the LTS to introduce Miriway instead, something I am sure the developers would really want to avoid, as an LTS release is almost never the place to bring in something this big and new. The Lubuntu developers are working with the LXQt desktop team to make sure that Miriway is going to work right from the start. There is even one developer who is both working on Lubuntu and LXQt, which should be an advantage. | + | Nouveautés |

Lubuntu 25.04 removes the ImageMagick command line image editor and also the Quassel IRC client (Internet Relay Chat) . I am not sure that there was a good user case for including ImageMagick in the first place. As far as IRC clients go, the use of IRC seems to have peaked almost 20 years ago and is not now in widespread use, if indeed it ever was.
