This article will help you solve a common issue with the update-grub command not found in Arch Linux or other Linux distros with a quick solution.

As time goes by, operating systems like EndeavorOS (an Arch Linux derivative) will store various temporary files, old package caches, system logs, and packages that are no longer needed. If left alone, these files can take up quite a lot of disk space.

For Linux users like me who use SSDs with small storage capacity (120GB), you need to pay attention to storage that is getting thinner over time. If not monitored and cleaned regularly, it will take up even more storage, apart from files that can be seen.

In this article, we'll explore how to integrate SELinux into Debian, one of the most widely used and respected GNU/Linux distributions.

This week Intel released the Compute Runtime 25.18.33578.6 release for Windows and Linux. This updated open-source GPU compute stack for OpenCL and Level Zero brings the latest work on Ultra Low Latency Scheduling (ULLS) for Xe2 Lunar Lake graphics and other ongoing Xe2 improvements along with further preparations for next-gen Xe3 hardware. This new Intel Compute Runtime release is clocking in around 76x lower OpenCL kernel latency and other nice wins for those with current-generation Intel Lunar Lake hardware.

Last week I began posting Linux benchmarks of the flagship "Strix Halo" SoC, the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 with powerful Radeon 8060S graphics using the HP ZBook Ultra G1a laptop. Both the CPU and GPU results for the data published thus far have been mighty impressive and done at the Ubuntu Linux defaults... But the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 within the ZBook Ultra G1a can be pushed even further by leveraging the ACPI Platform Profiles capabilities. In this article is showing how much further performance -- and the power costs -- can be achieved out of this AMD Strix Halo SoC when leveraging the HP Power Profiles as well as the power efficiency for those wanting to run the SoC instead in the "power saver" / "low power" configuration.
