How to Upgrade Manually to Ubuntu 26.10 "Stonking Stingray"

  With the development cycle for Ubuntu 26.10 officially underway, Canonical has published stonking/snapshot-1 . For early adopters, developers, and enthusiasts looking to ride the absolute edge of the open-source wave, the temptation to jump from the stable shores of 26.04 LTS, Resolute Raccoon, into the development stream is strong. Because the automated release pathways are not populated so early in the cycle, the standard do-release-upgrade -d tool will politely decline to find the new branch. To make the leap, we must step past the guardrails and manage our repository tracking manually. > Important Prerequisite: Upgrading to a day-one snapshot moves your environment into a highly experimental space.

A classic game reimagined by artificial intelligence



The gaming world has witnessed countless technological leaps, but Microsoft's latest innovation stands out as a fascinating glimpse into the future. Leveraging its Muse AI model, Microsoft has transformed Quake II, a classic first-person shooter into an experimental AI-generated experience.


Quake II, originally released by id Software in 1997, gained a cult following for its gripping gameplay and groundbreaking visuals. Microsoft's Muse AI has breathed new life into this classic by generating game environments and features in real time. This technology demo serves as a testament to the creative capabilities of artificial intelligence.


Using Muse AI's generative models, a single level of Quake II can be played directly in your web browser. While familiar elements of the original game remain intact, certain aspects such as the visual fidelity and gameplay mechanics exhibit the unique quirks of AI-generated content. These imperfections reveal the evolving nature of generative AI technology and its potential for future development.


You can explore AI generated Quake II through Copilot Labs. By playing the game, you'll not only relive the essence of a classic but also witness firsthand how artificial intelligence is shaping new frontiers in gaming.
