Memory management is a critical aspect of modern operating systems, ensuring efficient allocation and deallocation of system memory. Linux, as a robust and widely used operating system, employs sophisticated techniques for managing memory efficiently.

A new alpha release of System76’s emergent Rust-based COSMIC Desktop environment is out with a clutch of important improvements, bug fixes, and new features in tow.

The Linux kernel mailing list drama around the Rust programming language use within the kernel continues... Linus Torvalds has largely refrained from the ongoing LKML discussions around a Rust policy for the Linux kernel and in-fighting between kernel developers and maintainers with differing views over Rust. This evening though Linus Torvalds did decide to chime in on the conversation.

Nobody wants memory bugs. Penguinistas continue debate on how to squish 'em. Some Linux kernel maintainers remain unconvinced that adding Rust code to the open source project is a good idea, but its VIPs are coming out in support of the language's integration.

Fedora-OBS feud continues the drama in the Linux world.

Mesa 25.0 was officially released today as the newest quarterly feature release for this set of open-source OpenGL, OpenCL, Vulkan, and video acceleration drivers used on Linux systems by multiple hardware vendors.

Software package management is an essential skill for any system administrator working with Linux distributions such as CentOS and RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux). Managing software efficiently ensures that your system remains secure, up-to-date, and optimized for performance.

Mesa 25.0 features Vulkan 1.4 support, which the team bill as the ‘flashiest addition’ in this new development release as it spans Anv (Intel), Asahi (Apple), Lavapipe (software), NVK (NVIDIA), PanVK (Mali), RADV (AMD), and Turnip (Qualcomm).

The Fedora Project is rolling out expanded coverage of RISC-V hardware moving forward and making it easier for those with RISC-V developer boards to run Fedora Linux.

VyOS Networks proudly joins the Linux Foundation as a Silver member and becomes a General member of the Open Programmable Infrastructure (OPI) Project, an initiative focused on open, interoperable DPU/IPU architectures for high-performance networking, security, and storage acceleration.

This week, Jonathan Bennett talks Rocky Linux with Gregory Kurtzer and Krista Burdine! Where did the project come from, and what’s the connection with CIQ and RESF? Listen to find out!

The Bit-Brick K1 is a single-board computer designed for industrial and edge computing applications. It features the SpacemiT Key Stone K1, an ultra-low-power octa-core RISC-V system-on-chip with SpacemiT Daoyi AI acceleration. Built on the RISC-V 64GCVB architecture and RVA22 standard, the processor delivers 2.0TOPS of AI computing power using customized RISC-V instructions optimized for TensorFlow Lite, TensorFlow, and ONNX Runtime.

Yesterday a number of Windows reviews began appearing for the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 "Strix Halo" with the debut of the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 as the first laptop to ship this SoC with 16 cores / 32 threads, 64 MB L3 cache, and 40 graphics cores with the Radeon 8060S Graphics. As expected, AMD Strix Halo is a beast with its very capable CPU performance and very compelling integrated graphics, at least under Windows 11.

T-Mobile will power its common telco cloud across core and far edge business with Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus. The vendor says this will give T-Mobile a flexible, scalable platform that will streamline operations, extend automation, reduce costs and speed time-to-market for new applications and services.

If you're curious about DeepSeek but reluctant to try it because of privacy issues, this is the solution for you.

A new version of the Power Profiles Daemon (PPD) was uploaded to the Plucky archives today, and should soon make its way out to Ubuntu 25.04 daily builds —but what’s changed?

The ongoing effort to integrate Rust into the Linux kernel has seen setbacks and advancements in recent weeks.

Many of us have dreamed of running Linux on all the things, including our TVs. A decade ago, Ubuntu TV promised to make this a reality. What happened, and are would-be Linux TV viewers out of luck?

The debate over the Linux kernel's Rust programming language policy continues... While some kernel maintainers are against it, Linus Torvalds has reportedly said he would override maintainers that may be against honoring Rust code. Linux's second-in-command Greg Kroah-Hartman has also been a big proponent of Rust kernel code.

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.
