Fair DRM Scheduler v4 Running Well On Steam Deck, “Looks Solid”

Tvrtko Ursulin of Igalia has been pursuing the Fair DRM Scheduler as a “fair” scheduling policy to help with multiple applications/processes aiming to make use of the GPU concurrently. With this week’s v4 patch-set to the DRM Fair Scheduler there are some big code changes but overall looking well as a nice scheduling policy for multiple apps/games/processes wanting equal access to GPU resources…

[$] Debian debates AI models and the DFSG

The Debian project is discussing a General Resolution (GR) that
would, if approved, clarify that AI models must include training data
to be compliant with the Debian
Free Software Guidelines
(DFSG) and be distributed by Debian as
free software. While GR discussions are sometimes contentious, the
discussion around the proposal from Debian developer Mo Zhou has
been anything but—there seems to be
consensus that AI models are not DFSG-compliant if they lack training
data. There are, however, some questions about the exact language and
questions about the impact the GR will have on existing packages in
the Debian archive.

Intel 200S Boost Performance Mode Benchmarks On Linux

This week Intel announced “200S Boost” for Core Ultra “Arrow Lake” K-Series desktop processors as effectively a new overclocking profile rolling out to existing Z890 motherboards via a BIOS update. Enabling the 200S Boost profile is said to help with low-latency workloads like gaming by allowing higher fabric / die-to-die / memory frequencies. While some Windows benchmarks have begun emerging for the Intel 200S Boost mode and some limited gains, I was curious about the performance under Linux so here are some 200S Boost benchmarks with the Core Ultra 9 285K on Ubuntu 25.04.
