The in-development Linux 6.15 kernel is continuing to enhance its support for MIPI's SoundWire specification for small audio peripherals with this two-pin, low-complexity audio interface...

IO_uring continues maturing while being one of the greatest innovations within the Linux kernel in the past number of years. With Linux 6.15, IO_uring is getting even more interesting with introducing network zero-copy receive support. With this new code a 200G link could be saturated off a single CPU core in a recent demonstration...

The watchdog subsystem changes have been submitted for the Linux 6.15 merge window that is now at the mid-way point...

Google's Ozone Wayland support continues to improve for benefiting the Chrome/Chromium web browser. The newest addition merged this past week is support for the xdg-session-management protocol...

The Arch Linux powered CachyOS is out with its March 2025 update that delivers a number of new features for this OS that is popular with open-source enthusiasts and power users for its out-of-the-box performance optimizations and extensive tuning...

There's also a new release of the Zorin OS distro The handy GNOME extension Dash to Panel will live on, under its present maintainer, after winning financial backing from one of the distros that uses it.…

While the upstream MIPS architecture is at a dead-end due to RISC-V, the Linux kernel code for the MIPS CPU architecture continues to improve for all the existing MIPS-based platforms out there. With Linux 6.15 there is new work for enhancing the Mobileye EyeQ6 SoC support...

Shotcut 25.03 is now available for this open-source and cross-platform video editor built atop the MLT Multimedia Framework...

CrowdSupply recently introduced the TinyBeast FPGA, a compact platform based on Microchip’s PolarFire FPGA technology. It stands out for its ability to offload computationally intensive tasks from the central processor, enabling real-time data processing in space-constrained environments like automation, measurement, and robotics. TinyBeast FPGA comes in two configurations. The TinyBeast FPGA P features a Mini […]

We're pleased to announce that the freeze for Debian 13 'trixie' has begun.

Set to be merged for the Linux 6.15 kernel is the very initial NOVA driver core code that will be incrementally built up over time in succeeding kernel versions. For Linux 6.15, this open-source NVIDIA kernel driver isn't of any use for end-users as it's just the very preliminary pieces to begin crafting the foundation for the driver that is leveraging the NVIDIA GSP found with Turing and newer hardware. In preparation for future kernel cycles, the NOVA skeleton driver pieces were posted for review yesterday to begin fleshing out more of the driver's design...

The Luckfox Pico Pi series consists of four models with a Raspberry Pi SBC form factor, designed for embedded applications. Offering various processing capabilities, connectivity options, and memory configurations, these boards include PoE support and optional 4G connectivity. This SBC accommodates the LuckFox Core1106 module seen earlier this year. The series features the Rockchip RV1106 […]

All of the PCI subsystem feature updates have now been merged for the Linux 6.15 kernel cycle. This includes some new drivers from AMD and Intel-Altera as well as various other PCI changes...

Miscreants warming to Delphi, Haskell, and the like to evade detection. Malware authors looking to evade analysis are turning to less popular programming languages like Delphi or Haskell.…

For decades, Linux distributions have relied on native packaging formats like DEB and RPM to distribute software. These formats are deeply integrated into the Linux ecosystem, tied closely to the distribution's package manager and system architecture. But over the last few years, two newer technologies—Flatpak and Snap—have emerged, promising a universal packaging model that could revolutionize Linux app distribution.

The networking subsystem updates for the in-development Linux 6.15 kernel bring multiple nice performance optimizations to enhance Linux networking speeds. The Linux 6.15 networking pull also has support for a number of new wireless and wired network chipsets...

Thanks to Collabora's work on Zink and NVK… and indirectly to GPU-maker's FOSS release, too. Not one but two new drivers for some Nvidia GPUs is a promising, if indirect, offshoot of the GPU maker's open-saucy moves.…

While there were a few graphics benchmarks in yesterday's Ubuntu 25.04 beta benchmarks, today's article is looking more at the Ubuntu 25.04 Linux gaming performance for both the GNOME 48 and KDE Plasma 6.3 desktops that default to the Wayland-based session by default while also trying out the X11 session for both of these desktops.

Here at Mozilla, we are the first to admit the internet isn’t perfect, but we know the internet is pretty darn magical. The internet opens up doors and opportunities, allows for human connection, and lets everyone find where they belong — their corners of the internet. We all have an internet story worth sharing. In […]

That stands for I Probably Overestimated? CoreWeave has pared back the scope of its initial public offering amid growing investor uncertainty in an overheating AI marketplace and risks posed by the GPU cloud specialist's exposure to a small number of customers.…
