Canonical has hinted at a new codename for Ubuntu 25.10: Quizzical Quokka. This announcement came through a terse tweet, and given the date—April 1—it raises suspicions about its legitimacy. Traditionally, April Fools’ Day is when companies share lighthearted or absurd information.
The term Quizzical can suggest confusion or amusement, which seems at odds with the typically stable image of Ubuntu. However, it’s worth noting that Quokka refers to an adorable wallaby native to Western Australia, a choice that adds some charm to the codename.
Historically, Ubuntu codenames had a connection to the release’s goals or features, like Hardy Heron, reflecting its strong attributes. The community now must wait and see whether this playful codename for Ubuntu 25.10 is serious, or merely a joke at the expense of its users. Would this name satisfy enthusiasm for creative codenames, or leave users puzzled about Canonical’s direction?
