How to Upgrade to KDE Plasma 6.5 on Kubuntu 25.10

If you use Kubuntu 25.10 you can upgrade to KDE Plasma 6.5 through the Kubuntu backports PPA. Kubuntu 25.10 was released on 9 October 2025 with KDE Plasma 6.4, but on 21 October the new KDE Plasma 6.5 release arrived — users of the former who want the latter, now have a way to do so.

📰 Nearly five years later, you still don't need PCIe 5.0

When PCIe 5.0 first appeared on motherboards back in late 2021 with Intel's 12th Gen CPUs, I knew it was a bit early. However, I thought we'd all reap its benefits within a couple of years. Fast forward to late 2025, and that moment still hasn't arrived. Sure, we have high-speed Gen 5 SSDs and high-end GPUs that are PCIe 5.0 ready, but the actual gains are still nowhere to be found. The truth is, even the fastest consumer hardware today still...

Rust Bug Broke Ubuntu 25.10 Automatic Update Checks

Ubuntu’s decision to switch to Rust-based coreutils in 25.10 hasn’t been the smoothest ride, as the latest — albeit now resolved — bug underscores. The distro’s developers are bullish on the security and stability benefits that “oxidising” Ubuntu’s package set with Rust-based tools provide. In 25.10, it plumbed in Rust-based replacements for sudo and core-utils. The latter is a set of (as you may guess from the name) core utilities that function from the command-line and used by a number of processes, apps and scripts. Including Ubuntu’s own unattended-upgrades process, which automatically checks for new software updates on Ubuntu) relied […]
