AMD-Powered Framework Laptop Now Working On Linux With Latest BIOS

Posted on by

Earlier this month Framework 13 began shipping out their AMD Ryzen powered modular laptop. Unfortunately though the launch-day testing of the Framework laptop under Linux was hampered by a BIOS issue. It’s taken longer, but this week a new BIOS is now available for testing that resolves the AMD Linux graphics issue. Here’s how to go about easily flashing the system BIOS with Fwupd and LVFS to get up and running well on Linux…

[$] Better string handling for the kernel

Posted on by

The C programming language is replete with features that seemed like a good
idea at the time (and perhaps even were good ideas then) that have not aged
well. Most would likely agree that string handling, and the use of
NUL-terminated strings, is one of those. Kernel developers have, for
years, tried to improve the handling of strings in an attempt to slow the
flow of bugs and vulnerabilities that result from mistakes in that area.
Now there is an early discussion on the idea of moving away from
NUL-terminated strings in much of the kernel.
