Axiomtek’s AIM101 is a compact fanless edge computer built around Intel’s Processor N150, offering PCIe-based AI acceleration, dual 2.5GbE networking, wide-range DC input, and extended-temperature operation for industrial, machine-vision, and real-time inference workloads. The system is powered by the Intel Processor N150, a quad-core N-series SoC with clock speeds up to 3.6GHz. This platform integrates […]

We eagerly await to see if the AMD ISP4 driver will be ready for mainlining in the imminent Linux v6.19 merge window but it’s getting down to the wire and thus looking less likely it will make it unless action is taken in the coming days. Today though a sixth version of this AMD ISP4 image signal processor driver was posted for this last piece of the puzzle in enabling the web camera on the HP ZBook Ultra G1a Strix Halo laptop as well as future Ryzen high-end laptops…

KDE shifts the upcoming Plasma 6.8 release to a Wayland-only setup, keeping X11 apps running via Xwayland and maintaining X11 session support only until early 2027.

The NTFSPLUS Linux kernel driver as a modern NTFS file-system driver implementation continues quickly taking shape as it aims to become the most performant and feature-rich NTFS read/write driver for Linux systems…

A Huawei engineer has sent out patches proposing HQspinlock as a Hierarchical Queued NUMA-aware spinlock for the Linux kernel. HQspinlock aims to addresss inefficiencies within the Linux kernel’s spinlock on modern NUMA-systems due to frequent and costly cross-NUMA cache-line transfers…

The read command is a built-in Linux utility that allows shell script writers to take single line input from the keyboard or from the file descriptor and store it in a variable.

Vulkan 1.4.335 released a few hours ago as the latest iteration of this high performance graphics and compute API. With being just a week since the prior update and given the US Thanksgiving week, it’s on the lighter side in terms of issues addressed. There is one new extension though and it’s a big one: VK_EXT_present_timing is finally merged…

The November release of DietPi v9.19 introduces a new continuous audio analysis tool, expanded Debian Trixie compatibility across several software packages, and updates that improve performance and stability on popular ARM-based single-board computers. The update also provides fixes for Raspberry Pi systems, Allwinner H3/H5 devices, and several DietPi-Software components.   DietPi: DietPi is a lightweight, […]

It’s been two months since there were any notable Intel Linux engineering departures to note following various layoffs and voluntary departures this year that have unfortunately impacted their Linux/open-source talent. Sadly this US Thanksgiving is a new departure to note: one of Intel’s maintainers for the Xe open-source Linux kernel graphics driver is leaving the company. This is for the modern Xe driver used by default since Lunar Lake and playing a pivotal role for Intel Linux graphics moving forward…

In Bash and also for other implementations of the shell, like zsh and fish, you can use the HereDoc to redirect a multi-line or block of lines from the script as an input to interactive commands.

Following up on the discussion from earlier this month among GCC developers over switching to C++20 by default for the GCC compiler as the default C++ standard when not otherwise set, that change has indeed happened. Merged now is the change defaulting to C++20 (well, the GNU++20 dialect) rather than C++17/GNU++17 when not otherwise specified when compiling C++ code…

Debian 13.2 freshness, better HiDPI support, and 101 other things to run on your PiRaspberry Pi Ltd has shipped two updates for its single-board computers: a very small refresh to Pi OS 6, and a more substantial upgrade to the tool that writes your Pi’s operating system to an SD card.…

Collabora releases a new modern office suite for Linux desktops. Learn about its features, privacy benefits, and how to install it on Linux.

In addition to Intel Arrow Lake desktop performance evolving nicely on Linux over the course of 2025, the Intel Arc B-Series graphics that launched last December with the Arc B580 have evolved quite nicely too with their open-source driver stack. With it coming up on one year since the Arc B580 launch, here is a look at how the GPU compute performance has evolved since that point. Similar Intel Arc B580 Linux graphics comparisons are also coming up in a follow-up comparison on Phoronix.
