Posted by Intel engineers a few days ago were a Mesa patch to begin recognizing some Intel Battlemage graphics cards as being the larger “BMG G31” variant. This evening those patches were merged for Mesa 25.2 for what’s rumored to be potentially the Arc B770 graphics cards to launch later in the year…

Following below was attempt to reproduce instructions proposed in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFBidsZOWgs on openSUSE Tumbleweed installed via Agama Installer with Two DEs Gnome 48 and KDE Plasma. Originally setup was performed with Gnome along with YAST . Second KDE Plasma DE has been setup via YAST running in Gnome environment. Here goes series of snapshots been done inside Hyprland session ( the third DE ) for openSUSE Tumbleweed instance as KVM Guest on Fedora 42 KDE Edition bare metal host.

The Kubernetes project has announced
that it will be losing its “special status” with the Slack communication platform and will be
downgraded to the free tier in a matter of days:

On Friday, June 20, we will be subject to the feature
limitations of free Slack. The primary ones which will affect us
will be only retaining 90 days of history, and having to disable
several apps and workflows which we are currently using. The Slack
Admin team will do their best to manage these limitations.

The project has a FAQ
covering the change, its impacts, and more. The CNCF projects staff
has proposed
a move to the Discord service as
the best option to handle the more than 200,000 users and thousands of
posts per day from the Kubernetes community. The Kubernetes Steering
Committee will be making its decision “in the next few weeks“.

Version
2.50.0 of the Git source-code management system has been released
with a long list of new user features, performance improvements, and

Last week alongside announcing the AMD Instinct MI350X/MI355X and the ROCm 7.0 software preview, AMD also introduced the AMD Developer Cloud as a new means for developers to easy try out Instinct accelerators with their own software and with the ROCm compute stack already setup. Having tried out prior AMD cloud compute environments, as soon as my email invite for the AMD Developer Cloud arrived I decided to give it a try.

Rust developers acknowledge lengthy compiler times can be a significant issue that limits the productivity of developers working with this programming language. For helping in determining different combinations of issues around compiler performance, the Rust team has started a survey to collect more information on the issues…

Linus Torvalds has released 6.16-rc2,
which is “admittedly
even smaller than usual“, though rc2 is not uncommonly one of the smaller
release candidates.

It may be that people are taking a breather after a fairly sizable
merge window, but it might also be seasonal, with Europe starting to
see summer vacations… We’ll see how this goes.

The diffstat looks somewhat unusual, with a lot of one-liners with
both ARC and pincontrol having (presumably independently) ended up
doing some unrelated trivial cleanups.

But even that is probably noticeable only because everything else is
pretty small. That “everything else” is mostly network drivers (and
bluetooth) and bcachefs, with some rust infrastructure and core
networking changes thrown in.

The 244th installment of the 9to5Linux Weekly Roundup is here for the week ending on June 15th, 2025, keeping you updated with the most important things happening in the Linux world.
