In a keynote on the final day of SCALE 22x, Denver
Gingerich said that he wanted to talk “a little bit about a router and
also the big picture around that router“. Gingerich is the director of
compliance at the Software Freedom
Conservancy (SFC), which is the organization behind the OpenWrt One router that
LWN looked at back in November. The
router is, of course, based on firmware from the
OpenWrt project, which got its
start because of GPL-enforcement activities and is a member project at the SFC.

AerynOS 2025.03 has officially been released, introducing a variety of exciting features for Linux users. The release includes the highly anticipated GNOME 48 desktop environment, which comes with significant improvements like HDR support, dynamic triple buffering, and a Wayland color management protocol. Other updates include a battery charge limiting feature and a Wellbeing option aimed at improving user experience.

While there were a few graphics benchmarks in yesterday’s Ubuntu 25.04 beta benchmarks, today’s article is looking more at the Ubuntu 25.04 Linux gaming performance for both the GNOME 48 and KDE Plasma 6.3 desktops that default to the Wayland-based session by default while also trying out the X11 session for both of these desktops.

Back during the Linux 6.13 kernel cycle initial support for many (pre-M1) Apple devices were upstreamed including various iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch devices. That though was the very preliminary support and continuing to work their way upstream are various drivers/patches to further enhance the support. Now for the Linux 6.15 kernel is a new Apple backlight driver for controlling the backlight on various mobile Apple devices…

As of this writing, 6,653 non-merge changesets have been pulled into the
mainline kernel repository for the 6.15 release. This merge window is thus
well underway. A number of significant changes have been merged so far;
read on for our summary of the first half of the 6.15 merge window.

This month, Raspberry Pi launched a device capable of powering its single-board computers over Power-over-Ethernet. The Raspberry Pi PoE+ Injector enables both power and data to be transmitted through a single Ethernet cable, simplifying network infrastructure for projects deployed in remote or difficult-to-access locations. Compatible with devices conforming to IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards, including […]

openSUSE’s Zypper package manager introduces optional parallel downloads and backend enhancements with up to 50% time savings in benchmarked scenarios.

All of the ARM64 changes were merged this week to the Linux 6.15 kernel for enhancing the 64-bit ARM processor support…

Since last year Canonical had been investigating using -O3 compiler optimizations for their Ubuntu package builds in the name of delivering better performance for Ubuntu Linux. A few weeks back though they decided they would not use -O3 optimizations for all packages. They have now provided more engineering insight into their reasoning and the results of their investigation into -O3 compiler optimizations for more packages…

A two year old Intel Mesa merge request was finally merged for Mesa 25.1 today for enabling functionality on DG2/Alchemist GPUs and newer…

All of the HID subsystem updates have been merged for the ongoing Linux 6.15 merge window…

Ubuntu 25.04 beta is set to be released today and thus this week I[he]#039[/he]ve begun testing out the latest Ubuntu 25.04 builds on different systems for seeing how this six-month Ubuntu Linux update is looking compared to the prior Ubuntu 24.10 release. In this first Ubuntu 25.04 beta benchmarking article is a look at the performance using an AMD Ryzen 9000 series desktop and Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics.

The internet is for everyone, but not everyone experiences it the same way. For many of us, harsh brightness, hard-to-read text or a webpage that doesn’t work with a screen reader can turn simple tasks into frustrating obstacles. While we’ve built accessibility features directly into Firefox, we also support extensions that let you customize your […]

Linux sound subsystem maintainer Takashi Iwai of SUSE has submitted all the feature updates slated for Linux 6.15. There is a lot of new audio hardware support and other enhancements that are now merged for this next kernel release…

CrowdSupply recently featured the Firefly Automation Controller, a platform combining Raspberry Pi Compute Module-compatible modules with the STM32H7 microcontroller for industrial applications. With IO-Link Class B channels, it supports communication and control of sensors and actuators. The STM32H7 microcontroller, running at up to 480 MHz, manages real-time tasks using 80 MHz buffered communication lines to […]
