The kernel team is working on final integration for Linux kernel 6.12. This version was just recently released, and will arrive soon in Fedora Linux. As a result, the Fedora Linux kernel and QA teams have organized a test week from Sunday, December 01, 2024 to Sunday, December 08, 2024.

Quantum computing, a revolutionary paradigm, promises to solve problems that are computationally infeasible for classical systems. By leveraging the peculiar principles of quantum mechanics—superposition, entanglement, and quantum interference—quantum computing has emerged as a transformative force across industries. From cryptography and drug discovery to optimization and artificial intelligence, its potential is vast.

The SoundWire subsystem updates were sent out today for the Linux 6.13 kernel. This cycle brings new AMD driver support as well as supporting the MIPI DisCo 2.0 specification.

Firefox turns 20 this year, so here’s a bit of history: When Mozilla set out to brainstorm a new browser name, the team played with combinations of animals and natural elements. “Fire” and “fox” got paired on a whiteboard, and a quick web search turned up red pandas — known locally as “firefoxes.” They were unique, rare and perfect for us.

The Axzez Interceptor v2.0 is a versatile carrier board for the Raspberry Pi and Banana Pi Compute Module 4, designed for applications such as NAS, NVR, IoT, and managed switches. It offers advanced capabilities and supports operating systems like Debian 12 ‘Bookworm’ and OpenWrt.

The RISC-V CPU port updates have been sent out for the in-development Linux 6.13 kernel.

The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W, launched at $7, is the wireless-enabled version of the Pico 2. Featuring the RP2350 microcontroller and a CYW43439 modem, it offers Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, making it a cost-effective option for Internet of Things projects. The RP2350 microcontroller introduces significant upgrades over its predecessor, the RP2040. These include faster […]

Now that Linux 6.12 has a fix for the Lunar Lake performance with the ASUS Zenbook I have been using for my Core Ultra 200V series Linux testing as well as there recently being an updated Intel Compute Runtime with Lunar Lake fixes, I have been working on some fresh Lunar Lake Xe2 graphics benchmarks using the very latest upstream open-source code. In today's article is exploring how the Xe2 Lunar Lake graphics is performing for OpenCL / GPU compute relative to the prior Meteor Lake Arc Graphics that were already a nice step-up over earlier Intel integrated graphics.
