In recent kernel releases there have been performance enhancements to the AES implementations and other cryptographic subsystem code for speeding up the performance on modern Intel and AMD processors. With Linux 6.16 there will be at least some additional small gains to find with Intel and AMD processors bearing AVX-512 when employing AES-XTS…

Let’s explore what Linux exit codes are, the list of common exit codes, and how you can use them to troubleshoot your Linux system.

Debian-based Deepin 23.1 is out now with Linux kernels 6.6/6.12, smarter updates, improved hardware support, AI upgrades, and over 100 bug fixes.

The New Stack looks
at EU OS, an attempt to create a desktop system for the European public
sector.

EU OS is not a brand-new Linux distribution in the traditional
sense. Instead, it is a proof-of-concept built atop Fedora’s
immutable KDE Plasma spin (Kinoite). EU OS takes a layered approach
to customization. The project’s vision is to provide a standard,
adaptable Linux base that can be extended with national, regional
or sector-specific customizations, making it suitable for a wide
range of European public sector needs.

Redis, a popular in-memory data store, is being deprecated in Arch Linux’s repo; Valkey steps in as a high-performance BSD-licensed replacement.

Earlier this week the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti launched and there were launch-day Linux CUDA/OpenCL compute benchmarks on Phoronix. But for the Linux gaming performance tests we were waiting on a new supported driver release, which happened to be on launch day with the NVIDIA 575.51.02 Linux beta. Now that the gaming-ready Linux driver is available for the GeForce RTX 5060 series, here are some initial benchmarks of the PNY GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB up against other NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon graphics cards using the newly-released Ubuntu 25.04.

The final session in the memory-management track of the 2025 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit was a brief, last-minute
addition run by Kalesh Singh. The kernel’s readahead mechanism is
generally good for performance; it ensures that data is present by the time
an application gets around to asking for it. Sometimes, though, readahead
can go a little too far.

With Fedora 42 having released earlier this week, more feature development work and planning around Fedora 43 is heating up. Another one of the early change proposals now filed for Fedora 43 is changing the CMake build system’s default generator from Make to Ninja…

The Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS) with the Fwupd client makes it wonderfully easy to enjoy seamless system UEFI and device/peripheral firmware updates under Linux. LVFS is backed by a growing number of major OEMs/ODMs and serves up millions of firmware files. But they are in need of more financial resources from the biggest hardware vendors…

The newly released Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop 42 introduces out-of-box support for running x86 and x86-64 programs on ARM systems. This is accomplished by leveraging the emulation stack originally developed for Fedora Asahi Remix. This work is now integrated into Fedora Linux proper. This makes it available for all ARM systems running Fedora Linux, not […]

Seventy-five thousand generations ago, our ancestors set a vast computer in motion, asking it to produce the ultimate Linux distribution… No, wait. It wasn’t quite that long ago. That was a different thing. But in both, the answer to life, the universe, and everything turns out to be: forty-two. In our case, Fedora Linux 42, […]

Yesterday NVIDIA announced the GeForce RTX 5060 “Blackwell” graphics cards as their new, most affordable offering of the RTX 50 series. While the $299 GeForce RTX 5060 isn’t shipping until next month, today the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB goes on sale for $379 USD and the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is also hitting Internet retailers today and starting out at $429 USD. I’ve been testing out the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB the past several days under Linux and have initial GPU compute benchmarks to share today.
