Ubuntu 25.10 replaces the sudo command with sudo-rs, a Rust-based rewrite said to improve memory safety and security. What does this mean for you?

    Looks like it’s split in library and binary, the binary itself is smaller, but if you add the size of the library it would be about 10% bigger. At least judging by the package sizes.
