From where I sit and based on what I can see, this is "Team Mono" all over again. "Team Wayland" is scoring many own goals this month. Trying to force some distros to default to Wayland (or worse, offer only Wayland as an option, i.e. opposite of freedom) isn't winning, it's making a lot more enemies (alienation and suspicion) and earning even more pushback than ever before.
This minor point release of KDE Plasma 6.4 packs enough new features to make it worth your attention.
The AMD EPYC 4005 "Grado"" processors launched by AMD in May for entry-level servers offer downright amazing value, performance, and power efficiency over the Intel Xeon 6300 / Xeon E-2400 series competition. Intel's top-of-stack Xeon 6300 (Xeon 6369P) / Xeon E processors fail to compete with even the mid-tier EPYC 4005 series processors in either performance, power, or cost effectiveness. Among the many advantages to these budget-friendly EPYC processors is having AVX-512 support with a full 512-bit data path compared to the Xeon 6300 series only having AVX2. For providing more insight into the AVX-512 performance impact with the AMD EPYC 4005 series, here are some enabled/disabled comparison benchmarks and how they are positioned relative to the Xeon 6369P server processor.

It has been one month since Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 was officially announced and it's proving to be a nice upgrade for enterprise Linux use. Jiving with what I had seen out of RHEL 10 beta performance and general expectations considering the plethora of software upgrades from RHEL 9 to RHEL 10, the new Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 release is helping tap additional performance out of modern servers.
