Linux 6.17 Will Be Exciting With Intel "Project Battlematrix" GPU Driver Changes & More
With Linux 6.16 expected to be released on Sunday unless an extra week of testing is deemed necessary, the Linux 6.17 merge window will then kickoff the next day. Based on monitoring the various subsystem "-next" trees and other mailing list activity, here is a look at many of the changes expected for Linux 6.17 barring last minute issues or other obje… phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.17-E…

I'm using a Launch keyboard. The small size is nice because on a full-sized keyboard, I'd rarely use the numeric keypad, so it is easier for me to reach the mouse. I mostly kept the default configuration, but set the function key to access Layer 2, and set Fn-CAPS to toggle to and from all-caps mode. For Layer 1, the CAPS key is disabled (I tended to hit it accidentally). Fn-1, Fn-3, and Fn-4 take you to other layers. I configured Layer 3 to mimic a numeric keypad.

Linux Kernel Proposal Documents Rules For Using AI Coding Assistants
Longtime Linux developer Sasha Levin of NVIDIA (and formerly of Google and Microsoft) as well as being the Linux LTS kernel co-maintainer today proposed a Linux kernel AI coding assistant configuration and documentation/rules for contributing to the Linux kernel with patches that are (co)authored by AI coding utilities... phoronix.com/news/Linux-Kernel…

Hmm. Not necessarily opposed to clearer rules about how such contributions could be made... but tbqh I'd rather not see the same sort of deep codebase enshittification that's absolutely plaguing Windows right now. Ultimately I would rather see the Kernel team outright reject AI slop.
Last week, I got an email from Microsoft. It told me I’d be paying 46% more for my Office subscription, starting next month.
But when I tried to cancel, it offered me the same price I was already paying — without the generative AI features I never asked for in the first place.
This isn’t just deceptive; it’s an abuse of market power. I’ve had it with Microsoft.
Linux Will Finally Be Able To Reboot Apple M1/M2 Macs With The v6.17 Kernel
While there have been various elements of the Apple M1 and M2 SoC support in the mainline Linux kernel along with support for various Macs, different features have been missing from the upstream kernel such as the Apple GPU kernel graphics driver as one big example. On a more fundamental level, the upcoming Linux 6.17 kernel is going to cross off another low-level expe… phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.17-A…

Intel Quietly Sunset Its PlaidML Open-Source Deep Learning Software
Another hit to the open-source Intel software ecosystem this year was the company formally archiving/discontinuing work on the PlaidML deep learning software. PlaidML was the deep learning framework that Intel acquired back in 2018 as part of their acquisition of Vertex.AI. PlaidML had a goal of "deep learning for every platform" but unfortunately those ambitions didn't mate… phoronix.com/news/Intel-PlaidM…
Linux 6.16 Is Exciting For Open-Source NVIDIA, OpenVPN DCO & More Performance
The Linux 6.16 kernel is expected to be released as stable this coming Sunday, 27 July, barring any last minute issues that cause Linus Torvalds to have reservations over issuing v6.16 stable and to instead do a v6.16-rc8 test release. With Linux 6.16 imminent, here's a reminder about some of the most interesting features in this next Linux kernel version... phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.16-F…
