Alpha release date and a Rust userland

Euri Linux: Horizon Alpha ships October 25, 2026.

One bigger item for Alpha: the userland goes Rust. Ubuntu has been slowly moving its coreutils over to Rust implementations — we are doing the same from the start. Easier to maintain, easier to keep updated, and one less thing to carry around just because it has always been there.

Release date is now on the download page too.
