Let's take a sneak peek at this interesting operating system — Redox OS.

Better support for gaming on Fedora Asahi Remix has been a long standing user request. Today at XDC 2024, we announced the preliminary availability of our game playing toolkit, integrating x86 emulation with MS Windows compatibility.

Raspberry Pi owners have always been prone to coming up with elaborate, technically interesting but practically questionable projects, and Pi enthusiast Jeff Geerling has an exciting new submission to that canon: connecting an old AMD Radeon RX 460 GPU to the Raspberry Pi 5's PCI Express bus and managing to play demanding titles like Doom 3 (2004) and Tux Racer at a crisp 4K resolution.

The ESP32-P4 Function EV Board, powered by the ESP32-P4 chip, is designed for developing cost-effective, networked audio and video applications that demand low power and high performance, including smart displays, network cameras, and digital signage.

In a recent performance review comparing Intel's Lunar Lake Core Ultra 200 series laptop processors on Linux and Windows 11, performance on Linux was consistently better across almost all benchmarks. Linux was on average 14% faster, and Blender 3D rendering and heavily multi-threaded workloads saw the biggest performance gap.

You probably have documents on your desktop operating system that contain sensitive information. So what do you do to protect that data? You could hide the document in an obscure folder -- but that's not really safe, because anyone with access to your computer could rummage around and locate the file in question.

In the age of increasing digital threats, securing sensitive data and systems is more crucial than ever. For Linux users, whether they are managing personal projects or securing enterprise servers, enhancing security protocols is a key concern.

The Sipeed Tang Mega 138K Dock is an advanced and compact FPGA development platform designed to meet both high-performance requirements and cost-effective solutions.
