Latest Open-Source AMD Improvements Allowing For Better Llama.cpp AI Performance Against Windows 11
When recently carrying out the Windows 11 25H2 vs. Ubuntu Linux benchmarks I also ended up carrying out some Llama.cpp AI benchmarks as the first time exploring the AI inferencing performance between Windows and Linux for both CPU and GPU-accelerated deployments.

[$] Providing support for Windows 10 refugees
In October, consumer versions of Windows 10 will
stop receiving security updates. Many users who would ordinarily move
to the next version are blocked by Windows 11’s hardware
requirements unless they are willing to buy a newer PC. The “End of 10” campaign is an effort to
convince those users to switch to Linux rather than sticking with an
end-of-life operating system or buying a new Windows system. At
Akademy 2025, Dr. Joseph De Veaugh-Geiss,
Bettina Louis, Carolina Silva Rodé, and Nicole Teale discussed their
work on the campaign, its progress so far, and what’s next.

How to List Running Services in Linux (systemctl Examples)
Linux systems provide a variety of system services (process management, login, syslog, cron, etc.) and network services (remote login, email, printers, web hosting, data storage, file transfer, DNS, DHCP, and more).
Technically, a service is a daemon — a process or group of processes running in the background, waiting to respond to client requests.
Modern Linux distributions use systemd as the default system and service manager. With the systemctl command, you can easily list, start, stop, restart, enable, or disable services.
The post How to List Running Services in Linux (systemctl Examples) appeared first on Linux Today.
