In a combined storage and filesystem session at the 2025 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF), Keith Busch led
a discussion about zero-copy operations for the Filesystem
in Userspace (FUSE) subsystem. The session was proposed
by his colleague, David Wei, who could not make it to the summit, so Busch
filled in, though he noted that “I do not really know FUSE so
well“. The idea is to eliminate data copies in the data path to and
from the FUSE server in user space.

So you want Linux? So you have two options: Windows or Windows.

Mini computer house comes out against ‘vibe coding’ fadRaspberry Pi, a company started with the aim of democratizing computing and recreating the programming frenzy of the 1980s and 1990s, is warning that “vibe coding” cannot replace the skills picked up during the process of learning to code.…

The European Union’s

Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) has caused a stir in the
software-development world. Thanks to advocacy by the Eclipse Foundation, Open
Source Initiative, Linux Foundation, Mozilla, and others, open-source software
projects generally have minimal requirements under the CRA
— but nothing to do with law is ever quite
so simple. Marta Rybczyńska spoke at Linaro Connect 2025 about the impact of the
CRA on the open-source ecosystem, with an emphasis on the importance of
understanding a project’s role under the CRA. She later participated in a panel
discussion with Joakim Bech, Kate Stewart, and Mike Bursell about how the CRA
would impact embedded open-source development.

As some extra benchmarks to put out today for the Phoronix.com 21st birthday, there is some additional data points to share on AMD Strix Halo when using Linux 6.15 stable and the early development state of Linux 6.16 Git ahead of its v6.16-rc1 tagging this weekend. The Linux kernel performance is moving in the right direction at least with this round of testing using the HP ZBook Ultra G1a with Ryzen AI Max+ PRO SoC…
