AlmaLinux 10.1 adds full Btrfs install support, new device drivers, and broader hardware compatibility across all architectures.

After nearly a decade running Mastodon, founder and CEO Eugen Rochko is handing day‑to‑day control to a new executive director. We look at what the change means for users and the fediverse.

This tutorial is about installing a CloudPanel on Debian 13 OS. Managing servers with a control panel has never been easier, especially with user-friendly control panels like CloudPanel. CloudPanel is one of the best free hosting control panels, offering a variety of features. The installation requires only a script and a clean server.

The November 2025 Raspberry Pi OS update adds full HiDPI scaling, refreshed icons, updated labwc, and new browser versions.

The i.MX93 VERSA Evaluation Kit provides a compact platform for developing with Calixto’s i.MX93 VERSA SoM, combining a dual-core processor, real-time control, an edge NPU, and interfaces such as Ethernet, CAN, RS485, USB, MIPI camera, and multiple display outputs. The i.MX93 VERSA SoM uses NXP’s i.MX93 processor, combining a 1.7GHz dual Arm Cortex-A55, a 250MHz Cortex-M33 […]

Alex Gaynor recently announced he is formally stepping down as one of the maintainers of the Rust for Linux kernel code with the removal patch now queued for merging in Linux 6.19…

Raspberry Pi Imager 2.0 arrives with a fully redesigned interface, a new setup wizard, and smoother OS customization across all platforms.

AlmaLinux 10.1 has been released. In
addition to providing binary compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise
Linux (RHEL) 10.1, the most notable feature in AlmaLinux 10.1 is
the addition of support
for Btrfs, which is not available in RHEL:

Btrfs support encompasses both kernel and userspace enablement, and it
is now possible to install AlmaLinux OS on a Btrfs filesystem from the
very beginning. Initial enablement was scoped to the installer and
storage management stack, and broader support within the AlmaLinux
software collection for Btrfs features is forthcoming.

In addition to Btrfs support, AlmaLinux OS 10.1 includes numerous
other improvements to serve our community. We have continued to extend
hardware support both by adding
drivers and by adding a secondary version of AlmaLinux OS and EPEL
to extend support of x86_64_v2 processors.

See the release
notes for a full list of changes.

Building off the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.1 from two weeks ago, AlmaLinux 10.1 is now available in GA form for this community-oriented RHEL10 downstream. Making AlmaLinux 10.1 all the more interesting is the project’s decision to promote Btrfs file-system support…

After releasing the major Raspberry Pi Image 2.0 update of their OS flashing utility, the Raspberry Pi project also released today a new version of their Debian-based Raspberry Pi OS distribution for Raspberry Pi SBCs with HiDPI improvements and other changes.

The most exciting hardware to arrive this month in the Phoronix lab is Dell having sent over two of their new Dell Pro Max with GB10 systems. The Dell Pro Max with GB10 is their build-out around NVIDIA’s GB10 superchip with ten Cortex-X925 CPU cores and ten Cortex-A725 cores plus the GB10 Blackwell GPU. With 128GB of LPDDR5X memory and 2TB or 4TB SSD by default all within the small chassis, this is an interesting workstation for AI developers.

It is rarely newsworthy when a project or package picks up a new
dependency. However, changes in a core tool like Debian’s Advanced Package
Tool (APT) can have far-reaching effects. For example, Julian
Andres Klode’s declaration
that APT would require Rust in May 2026 means that a few of Debian’s
unofficial ports must either acquire a working Rust toolchain or
depend on an old version of APT. This has raised several questions
within the project, particularly about the ability of a single
maintainer to make changes that have widespread impact.

A set of patches implementing async I/O IOCB_NOWAIT support for the loop block device is heading to the Linux 6.19 kernel with some performance improvements that will make loop block device users “wow”…

In addition to debuting the Raspberry Pi OS Imager 2.0 app, Raspberry Pi today announced the latest version of their operating system…

Greg Kroah-Hartman has announced the release of the
6.17.9,
6.12.59, and
6.6.117 stable kernels. As usual, he advises
users of stable kernels to upgrade.

The Raspberry Pi Imager application that makes it easy to generate install media / OS image flashing for different Raspberry Pi devices is out with a big feature update…

In this article, I will give you some links and short reviews of a few of the Linux books that have been released within the last years. Many of them are literally in front of me on my shelves right now!
