There are three kinds of emails that can ruin a quiet Saturday: a security warning, an outage alert, and, apparently, a repeat reminder that you owe a cloud provider one cent, yes, $0.01.

After 2 months of development, the Shotcut video editor released new 25.10 version yesterday.
The new release of this free open-source Qt and MLT based video editor introduced new option to generate image or video from HTML, Text to Speech, and some other exciting new features.
Under File -> New or New Generator menu, there’s a new Image/Video from HTML option, that can generate image or video through custom HTML code, with transparent background by default, though the video is limited to 15 frame-per-second for performance reasons.
The feature depends on Google Chrome or Chromium web browser. You need to specify path to the executable of either browser first time you launch the option.
It offers some presets that also demonstrate a template with up to 3 lines of text. And, it automatically opens the generated image or video in the Source viewer so that you can preview and revise it if need. However, there’s neither preprocessors nor WebGL or embedded video support.
In addition, the release added New -> Screen Snapshot and Screen Recording options to generate image or video from your screen. And, the recording so far can be only ended by selecting “Stop This Job” from context menu of the job.
Shotcut 25.10 also added Text to Speech support to Notes and Subtitles. The quality with subtitles is heavily dependent upon the timing and duration of each item. And, it requires installing a docker image which takes 13.2 GB space in my case in Ubuntu.
Text to Speech needs installing a docker image as plugin
The release also introduced new Text: Typewriter video filter, that can insert text to your video clip and display them line by line, word by word, or character by character with typing cursor animation.
Other changes in the release include:
The official release note and installer packages for Linux, Windows, macOS are available to download in Github releases page. Along with the source tarball they are available via the link below:
For Linux, either download the AppImage (for Intel/AMD). Then add executable permission from its Properties dialog, and click Run the package to launch the video editor.
NOTE: Ubuntu since 22.04 does NOT support AppImage out-of-the-box. Press Ctrl+Alt+T to open terminal and run command to install the required library first:
sudo apt install libfuse2
Or, download the Linux tarball “shotcut-linux-x86_64-25.10.31.txz“, extract and run the executable file to launch the video editor, though you need to manually set the run-time libraries environment variable.
For choice, there are also official Flatpak package in flathub.org, which also support ARM64 platform, and snap package in App Center (or Ubuntu Software), though both run in sandbox environment!
After 3 weeks of the release date, Ubuntu finally opened the channel for upgrading from Ubuntu 25.04 to Ubuntu 25.10.
Ubuntu 25.10, code-name Questing Quokka, is the latest version that was released on October 9th. It features 9 month support until July 2026, Linux Kernel 6.17, GNOME Desktop 49, new Rust-based core utilities, new Ptyxis terminal emulator, and Loupe image viewer.
It as well removed the classic Xorg session and dropped “Startup Applications” tool. See Ubuntu 25.10 release note for more details.
Just one day ago, Ubuntu finally announced the upgrade channel for 25.04, while Ubuntu 24.04 may also upgrade to 25.04, then to 25.10.
We’re happy to announce that the upgrades to Ubuntu 25.10 (Questing Quokka) are now live!
This cycle also marks the arrival of amd64v3 as an architecture variant — shiny, fast, and ready for testing. If you haven’t already, I’d encourage reading the Discourse post for the full story:
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/introducing-architecture-variants-amd64v3-now-available-in-ubuntu-25-10/71312
Happy upgrading, and may your Quokka quest be bug-free!
Ubuntu 25.04 support will end in January 2026. If you decide to upgrade to Ubuntu 25.10, then it’s better to do following steps before getting started:
Ubuntu 25.04 now should automatically pop-up a dialog saying that Ubuntu 25.10 upgrade is available, with buttons to accept or refuse.
If you miss that dialog, then do following steps to manually start the upgrading process.
1. First launch Software & Updates, under “Updates” tab, make sure you set notify for any new Ubuntu version.
For Ubuntu server, edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades instead and set Prompt=normal
2. Next, launch Software Updater and install all the available updates. And, restart your computer if it asks.
For server with GUI, run the command below instead:
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
3. Finally, either launch Software Updater again and click the “Upgrade” button.
Or, run the command below to start the upgrade process from terminal:
do-release-upgrade
then follow the wizard or terminal output to upgrade your Ubuntu.
NOTE: Don’t go far away from your computer. It will ask few questions during the upgrade process, e.g., whether to keep obsolete packages or not. And, when everything’s done well, it will ask you restart computer to complete.
