Amazing coffee, amazing pizza and a DJ playing vinyls with a super friendly crowd 😎

Big news today as we announce Architecture Variant support for #ubuntu!

This change means as of today, users of 25.10 can get access to packages built specifically for amd64v3, with more packages and variants coming soon.

At the #ubuntu 25.10 release sprint last week, the team and I decided to retire the "ISO Tracker" from our release process - an aging tool that was proving hard to migrate.

This was a difficult decision, but is all part of us questioning our release process, and trying to decide which parts […]
