Ubuntu Linux that changes classic sudo-r energy from rust

Canonical is making a big difference in Ubuntu that Linux long users may not wait (or SI). You see, starting with the next 25.10 Ubuntu, the popular distribution of Linux will begin the process of immersing the classic sudo tool in favor of a modern reimony called sudo-RS. This change is more than a simple exchange of codes-is a change of sea in the way the privilege of privilege is handled in Linux, with a clear focus on long-term safety and durability.
So what exactly is sudo-r? Well, as the name implies, it is a new application of the well -known Sudo command, but this version is fully written in rust – a programming language known for its strict memory security and reliability. If you worry about compliance, do not be afraid; Sudo-RS is designed as a point replacement for the original. For most users, it will simply work.
This will be said, Sudo-RS is not trying to repeat any vague corner of the original. Some warm traits can be left behind, especially if they are seen as outdated or rarely used. The goal here is not to recreate the past – is to move forward the Linux infrastructure.
Canonical is not rushing this, fortunately. Issuing 25.10 is a probational land, and NO a permanent blockage. The reactions will be collected, the mistakes are collided and the original sudo will still be available to those who love or need it. If all goes well, the plan is to make the SUDO-R standard at Ubuntu 26.04 Lts.
But this is not the only rust -based adjustment that comes to Ubuntu. Canonical is also working to replace GNU Coreutils with uutils coreutils – another rust project. Key services like LS, CP and MV are receiving a rust rewriting as well, with support for celery and proper internationalization in the pipeline. These changes should not disrupt the course of work. And don’t worry, Ubuntu will offer packages that make it easy to return to older versions if needed.
Believe it or not, Canonical is also exploring GNUPG shift for sequoipgp-an OpenPGP-based implementation that climbs speculation, unlike GNUPG, which recently withdrawn from the standard. This is still in the exploratory phase, but it gives you a sense of where Ubuntu is going: towards a future where memory security is matured at the system level.
To be clear, this does not mean that C is being thrown into the trash. Canonical is not rewriting the entire operating system. But when it comes to the tools sitting in the heart of Linux (especially those with root access) it is clear that the company wants the safest, most sustainable code that strengthens those ingredients. And rightly so.
Canonical is clearly sending a message with these changes: the future of Linux infrastructure should be safer, smarter and more built with modern tools. If the rest of the world Linux follows the lawsuit remains to be seen.
