Canonical has announced a new approach to kernels for Ubuntu dev releases. It will begin packaging 'interim' kernel releases to improve testing throughout the dev cycle.
Canonical announces a new strategy for Ubuntu development releases, now offering upstream Linux kernels for earlier testing and (hopefully) better stability.
Linux 6.17 Preps Many Networking Changes From Broadcom 800G To More WiFi 7
Jakub Kicinski on Sunday sent out the big set of networking subsystem updates heading into the Linux 6.17 kernel. From high-end enterprise and data center hardware down to consumer Ethernet and WiFi devices, the Linux networking space continues to be as busy as ever... phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.17-N…
Linux kernel 6.16 introduces comprehensive AMD SEV vTPM support, enhancing virtual machine security and confidential computing capabilities with hardware-backed attestation and secure boot verification.
Bcachefs To Remove Its Experimental Label In Linux 6.18 - If It's Still In The Kernel
With the Linux 6.17 merge window now open, Bcachefs file-system lead developer Kent Overstreet has submitted his planned changes for this next kernel version. But we await to see how Linus Torvalds will respond... phoronix.com/news/Bcachefs-Lin…
Linux 6.16's New "X86_NATIVE_CPU" Option Enhances I/O & Some Graphics/Gaming Workloads
With the newly-released Linux 6.16 kernel there is the new X86_NATIVE_CPU build option if wanting to optimize your kernel build for your local CPU in use. Enabling CONFIG_X86_NATIVE_CPU is setting the "-march=native" compiler optimizations for the kernel build in an effort to ensure peak performance/optimizations for the local system. Here are some ben… phoronix.com/review/linux-616-…
For people who have Corsair hardware, the OpenLinkHub project might be one you need to take a look at to help you manage it all including iCUE LINK Hub.
Ubuntu To Keep Up-To-Date With Linux Kernel Versions During Development
Last year Canonical established a policy to always ship the latest Linux kernel version at Ubuntu release time which for the upcoming Ubuntu 25.10 will mean shipping with Linux v6.17. But during the Ubuntu development cycles they typically don't aggressively update to new interim versions tracking upstream, except that will now change to allow for better kernel te… phoronix.com/news/Ubuntu-Keepi…
Funny how a pretty big amount of fedi instances have installed the neofox pack before the neofox googly woozy fix and never really bothered to update it (and that's fair, to be honest), so every time I see the old one I'm reminded of this silly little fact
Runtime PM For The V3D Raspberry Pi Driver Will Finally Lower The GPU Clock When Idle
While the Broadcom V3D driver has been part of the mainline kernel for supporting the graphics found on recent Raspberry Pi boards, currently it doesn't support run-time power management. The lack of runtime PM has meant the GPU clock remains at full-speed even while idle... phoronix.com/news/Runtime-PM-R…
So I found a discarded table fan with broken neck in my condo's trash room. I took it back to my own room and had a lot of fun trying to apply "dirty fixes" on it.
One Person's Trash is Another Person's Treasure. Also redneck engineering at its finest!
Thanks for the safety recommendation. I'm just waiting for the spare "base" part to be delivered anyways, that thing costs like 130 THB used (free shipping included), opposed to a brand new full unit at about 700 THB
Intel QAT Accelerators Being Demoted On Linux By FSCRYPT: Bug Prone & Slow
Intel's accelerator efforts in recent generations of Xeon processors have been challenging to say the least. From limited software support and configuration obstacles to some current-generation accelerators not being safe for VM use due to security issues to having to deal with higher latency and other nuances if wanting to achieve decent performance. One of the… phoronix.com/news/Intel-QAT-FS…

Back in May we had the announcement that Open Fortress is coming to Steam, and the latest update on their progress sounds great for this Team Fortress 2 mod.
Linux 6.16 improves OpenVPN speeds, expands 5-level paging, and delivers a 'stupendous' Ext4 performance boost - and a fair bit more. Highlights inside.
I'm quite excited about this: Ext4 Performance Enhancements: The Ext4 filesystem receives substantial performance improvements, particularly through better utilisation of large folios for regular files, enabling more efficient handling of larger block sizes. 5-level paging sounds pretty cool as well. The traditional four-level tops out at 256TB, the addition of five levels bumps it to 128PB
