The 258th installment of the 9to5Linux Weekly Roundup is here for the week ending on September 21st, 2025, keeping you updated with the most important things happening in the Linux world

Linus Torvalds just released Linux 6.17-rc7 as the last planned release candidate of the in-development Linux 6.17 kernel that is expected to go final next weekend...

The past few years Google engineers have been reimplementing Android's Binder driver in the Rust programming language. Binder is a critical part of Android for inter-process communication (IPC) and now with Linux 6.18 it looks like the Rust rewrite will be upstreamed...

FLX1s is a $550 Linux phone that debuts with Debian-based FuriOS, 5G support, and hardware kill switches for privacy.

Code was open-sourced this week and posted to the Linux kernel mailing list as a "request for comments" (RFC) for a multi-kernel architecture. This proposal could allow for multiple independent kernel instances to co-exist on a single physical machine. Each kernel could run on dedicated CPU Cores while sharing underlying hardware resources. This could also allow for some complex use-cases such as real-time (RT) kernels running on select CPU cores...

DietPi 9.17 delivers faster, space-saving backups, a Roon early access toggle, and fixes for SPI flashing issues.

A patch queued into the PCI subsystem's "next" branch ahead of the Linux 6.18 merge window will uniformally expose the PCI device serial number of devices via sysfs for easy programmatic parsing...

This month, Shuttle Computers launched the SPCNV03, an ultra-compact edge computer based on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano. It delivers up to 40 TOPS of AI performance in a fanless aluminum chassis and carries EMC, Safety, and RoHS certifications for use in robotics, automation, video analytics, and smart city applications. The SPCNV03 is built on […]

Developers behind the Git distributed revision control system are debating whether to make Rust programming language support mandatory...

Git developers discuss adopting Rust, with a formal RFC proposing it as a required dependency once version 3.0 is released.

The Multikernel team opens its Linux kernel codebase, promising a new path to scalability for modern multi-core and cloud environments.

Rather than needing to parse package/history log files manually and akin to functionality provided by Red Hat's DNF, a merge request is pending to add a built-in history command for APT...

Canonical today released the Ubuntu 25.10 Beta as they work toward the stable Ubuntu 25.10 release in mid-October...

Nordic Semiconductor has announced the nRF54LM20A, a high-memory addition to its nRF54L Series of ultra-low power wireless SoCs. Built on the company’s 22 nm technology platform, the device provides developers with more resources to design advanced Bluetooth LE and Matter products for consumer, industrial, and healthcare applications. According to Nordic, the nRF54LM20A integrates a 128 […]

Zorin OS 18 Beta debuts with a refreshed design, advanced window tiling, web apps, and OneDrive support.

KDE Plasma 6 Customization Inspired by Ubuntu A clean and elegant KDE Plasma 6 setup inspired by the Ubuntu layout. It uses the Utterly Sweet global theme, Tela Circle icons with purple folders, Noto Sans for the digital clock, and a custom wallpaper all styled with Panel Colorizer to give the panel a dock-like appearance.

AAEON has introduced the Intelli i14 Edge, a compact AI vision system powered by Intel’s 14th Gen Core i9-14900T and NVIDIA RTX MXM modules. Designed to deliver workstation-level performance in a small, rugged form factor, the system targets robotics, autonomous platforms, and embedded workstations. According to AAEON, the Intelli i14 Edge is equipped with a […]

Linux 6.17 is an interesting time to carry out fresh file-system benchmarks given that EXT4 has seen some scalability improvements while Bcachefs in the mainline kernel is now in a frozen state. Linux 6.17 is also what's powering Fedora 43 and Ubuntu 25.10 out-of-the-box to make such a comparison even more interesting. Today's article is looking at the out-of-the-box performance of EXT4, Btrfs, F2FS, XFS, Bcachefs and then OpenZFS too.
