AMD software engineers continue rapidly advancing their open-source software efforts around local AI/LLM use on consumer-class Radeon and Ryzen hardware. AMD GAIA 0.17.6 was released on Thursday with more improvements for local AI processing on Windows, Linux, and even macOS. For those trusting enough in local LLM pipelines to do the right thing, there is even integration now for AMD GAIA to interface with your Gmail account...

Jack Wallen put Firefox’s new AI feature through its paces to see whether opt-in intelligence can win back users from other browsers.

When it comes to compiling C/C++ code to WebAssembly (WASM), LLVM/Clang and other LLVM-based tooling has dominated the space.

There is a term for this: mission creep

With Intel's recently-launched Bartlett Lake P-core-only processors intended for the embedded market, there is a rather surprising oversight under Linux: the Intel P-State driver reporting a 7.0+ GHz clock speed. While many would yearn for a 7GHz CPU, the Core 9 273PE where this issue was discovered in reality can only boost up to 5.7GHz for its maximum turbo frequency...

DNF is the default package manager for RHEL-based distributions like Fedora and AlmaLinux to help you manage your system packages.

Merged today to Mesa 26.2-devel was a reorganization of the AMD RadeonSI Gallium3D driver code to better separate the graphics and multimedia acceleration code from the rest of the driver...

KDE Gear 26.04.1 is now available as the first maintenance update for the KDE Gear 26.04 application collection.

One week after the Copy Fail vulnerability, a new Linux local privilege escalation bug has been made public. This time around there are no patches or CVEs yet for this "Dirty Frag" vulnerability as the embargo was broken early and thus the security researcher went ahead and published earlier than anticipated...

Luckfox has expanded its Linux SBC lineup with the new Aura, a compact board based on the Rockchip RV1126B processor. Similar to the earlier Pico Pi and Lyra Pi series, it combines a Raspberry Pi-sized form factor with a quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU, a 3 TOPS NPU, dual MIPI CSI interfaces, and 4K H.264/H.265 video support. […]

Star Labs' StarFighter Linux laptop is now available with Intel and AMD options, coreboot firmware, LVFS updates, and a 16-inch display.

The cat command is pretty useful for reading, creating, and concatenating files. While the tac command also works similarly to the cat command, which outputs the last line first.

Built on Debian Trixie, Synex aims to cut post?install busywork with sensible defaults, app choices up front, and a clean KDE Plasma experience.

The KDE project released KDE Gear 26.04.1 today as the first maintenance update to the latest KDE Gear 26.04 series of this open-source software suite for the KDE Plasma desktop environment and the Linux ecosystem.

While there is the AMD Instinct MI400 series coming this year, today AMD announced an interesting and arguably overdue offering for the Instinct MI350 series: the MI350P. The AMD Instinct MI350P is a PCIe add-in-card to add Instinct MI350 compute capabilities to existing PCIe 5.0 air-cooled servers as an alternative to the Open Accelerator Module (OAM) currently used by the Instinct MI350 series.

The Realtek RTL8159 has been appearing in some 10G-rated USB network adapters at online retailers, some for less than $100 USD. But currently the RTL8159 is only supported by Realtek's out-of-tree Linux kernel driver, but fortunately there will be mainline support coming with the Linux 7.2 kernel this summer...

UBports releases Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.3 while preparing 24.04-2.0, targeting a newer Morph Browser stack with Qt 6 work.

Building multi-threaded Python 3.14+ from source on Debian Forky using Clang 19.1 enables high-performance, free-threaded execution (no GIL). Using clang-19 with optimized flags (-O3, -flto) and linking against libatomic1 (Debian/Ubuntu) ensures maximum performance and thread safety, crucial for taking advantage of modern multi-core architectures.

The Flattened Image Tree "FIT" 1.0 specification was recently finalized for this container format used by U-Boot on embedded systems for providing various boot components like DTBs, the Linux kernel image, and more into a single file...
