Got a modern Nvidia or AMD graphics card? Custom Llamas are only a few commands and a little data prep away. Large language models (LLMs) are remarkably effective at generating text and regurgitating information, but they're ultimately limited by the corpus of data they were trained on.

The Raspberry Pi community has launched two new accessories to enhance their single-board computers: the $12 USB 3 Hub, providing four-way USB 3.0 connectivity, and the $60 Touch Display 2, offering a higher-resolution, slimmer touch interface for interactive use.

Team Firestorm sent word that their recently released Victorian London murder mystery game Blood On The Thames is now supported on Linux. Looks really unique with the visual style!

If you've ever tried running Windows software on Linux, you know it can be a mixed bag, and every option has quirks. Should you go with Wine or set up a full virtual machine? Let's explore both options and see which one will give you the best experience for your needs.

Longtime NVIDIA Linux engineer Aaron Plattner shared a status update on Friday around the current feature parity difference between the NVIDIA driver stack on X11 and under (X)Wayland.

Only Linux is supported, and the company says its module targets the automotive, industrial, and commercial IoT markets.

Espressif Systems announced the ESP32-P4 over a year ago. While the chip is not yet available for retail, a prototype development board featuring the chip was recently showcased by Olimex. This board includes multiple interfaces, such as an Ethernet connector and a camera connector, demonstrating its versatile capabilities.

Earlier this year was a Fedora change proposal seeking to make KDE Plasma the default over GNOME for Fedora 42. A compromise of sorts has now been settled on with the Fedora Desktop Spin being promoted to an "Edition" status that will put it on the same level as the GNOME-based Fedora Workstation Edition.

SolidRun has launched a single-board computer tailored for Industrial Internet of Things and Human-Machine Interface applications, built around the i.MX8M Plus System-on-Module from NXP. Its carrier board includes features like RS232, RS485, dual CAN-FD, and dual 1Gb Ethernet and more.

Controlling services in Linux doesn't have to be a confounding experience. Here's how the process works and why it is often seen as an overly complicated task.

I delivered launch-day benchmarks looking at the Google Axion CPU performance with the C4A instances compared to other Google Cloud instance types powered by Ampere Altra and Intel Xeon.

Does anyone want to tell Linus Torvalds? No? I didn't think so. I must be a glutton for punishment. Not only was my first programming language IBM 360 Assembler, my second language was C. Programming anything in them wasn't easy. Programming safely in either is much harder.
