Mozilla has announced
a new CEO, Anthony Enzor-DeMeo. Prior to becoming CEO, Enzor-DeMeo was
general manager of Firefox and led its “vision, strategy, and
business performance“. He has published
a blog post about taking over from interim CEO Laura Chambers, and
his plans for Mozilla and Firefox:

As Mozilla moves forward, we will focus on becoming the trusted
software company. This is not a slogan. It is a direction that guides
how we build and how we grow. It means three things.

• First: Every product we build must give people agency in how it works. Privacy, data use, and AI must be clear and understandable. Controls must be simple. AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off. People should know why a feature works the way it does and what value they get from it.
• Second: our business model must align with trust. We will grow through transparent monetization that people recognize and value.
• Third: Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader
  ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It
  will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of
  new and trusted software additions.

One of the exciting Intel innovations to the Linux kernel this year has been around the Cache Aware Scheduling for helping to deliver better performance on modern CPUs with multiple last level caches. The kernel patches have yet to be upstreamed but testing has shown to be quite promising for grouping tasks sharing data to the same LLC domain to help reduce cache misses and cache bouncing. Those wishing to learn more about Cache Aware Scheduling, there was a presentation on it last week by Intel engineers Tim Chen and Chen Yu at the Linux Plumbers Conference 2025 in Tokyo…

In this article, you will learn how to use the time command to determine the execution time of a command or shell script taken by your system or server in Linux.

As Europe flirts with “reliable proprietary technologies” and India rolls out open source healthcare AI, Amanda Brock is drawing a sharp line between genuine openness, marketing spin, and outright control.

A KDE developer introduces KDE Ni! OS, a light-hearted but practical experiment that brings immutable Linux concepts to KDE using NixOS.

As part of my various year-end comparison benchmarking, I recently ran some tests looking at how the Radeon RX 9000 series RDNA 4 performance has evolved since its debut near the beginning of the year. The Vulkan ray-tracing performance in particular was standing out this year as having evolved quite nicely while for conventional OpenGL and Vulkan performance the performance has been largely stable this year with its great at-launch support.

Mozilla Corporation has named its new CEO in replacing interim CEO Laura Chambers…

The final part of the 2025 Maintainers Summit was devoted to the kernel’s
development process itself. There were two sessions, one on continuity and
succession planning, and the traditional discussion, led by Linus Torvalds,
on any pain points that the community is experiencing. There was not a lot
that developers were unhappy about, and there are now more explicit plans in
the works to provide a process should Torvalds abruptly become unable to
fill his role.
