This week’s Armbian development saw a broad range of updates focused on system stability, hardware support, and user experience improvements. Key highlights include the addition of Ubuntu 25.10 and 26.04 as build targets, enhanced support for Rockchip and Qualcomm WiFi 7, and kernel updates for multiple boards. Several vendor U-Boot files were dropped in favor of mainline versions, while first login procedures were refined for automated builds and Docker group management. System-wide suspend and hibernation were disabled to improve reliability, and cosmetic tweaks were made to the MOTD display. Additional changes addressed CI behavior, board configuration cleanups, and improved logging practices. These updates collectively strengthen Armbian’s platform for both developers and end users.
