Firefox has long had support for multiple profiles
to store personal information such as bookmarks, passwords, and user
preferences. However, Firefox did not make profiles particularly
discoverable or easy to manage. That is about to change; Mozilla has
announced
that it is launching a profile-management feature that will make it
easier to create and switch between profiles. According to the support
page for the feature, it will be rolled out to users gradually
beginning on October 14.

The

Rust for Linux project has been good for Rust, Tyler Mandry, one of the
co-leads of Rust’s language-design team, said. He
gave a talk at

Kangrejos 2025 covering upcoming Rust language features and thanking
the Rust for Linux developers for helping drive them forward. Afterward, Benno Lossin and Xiangfei Ding
went into more detail about their work on the three most important language
features for kernel development: field projections, in-place initialization, and arbitrary self types.

Python 3.14 introduces free-threaded mode, t-strings, and a new debugger interface, bringing major speed and usability improvements.

Last week System76 released the Pop!_OS 24.04 beta along with the beta COSMIC desktop.

Android has long been focused on running mobile apps, but in recent years, features aimed at developers and power users have begun pushing its boundaries. One exciting frontier: running full Linux graphical (GUI) applications on Android devices. What was once a novelty is now gradually becoming more viable, and recent developments point toward much smoother, GPU-accelerated Linux GUI experiences on Android.In this article, we’ll trace how Linux apps have run on Android so far, explain the new architecture changes enabling GPU rendering, showcase early demonstrations, discuss remaining hurdles, and look at where this capability is headed.

Tvrtko Ursulin of Igalia has been leading the work on developing a “fair” DRM scheduler for Linux kernel graphics drivers. This scheduling algorithm is inspired by CFS and aims to improve the experience of running interactive graphical clients in parallel with heavy GPU workloads. This scheduler is inching closer to being ready for the mainline Linux kernel…
