While open-source enthusiasts like to criticize NVIDIA for not maintaining upstream, in-tree kernel graphics driver support (though things have been changing there), for other areas of their vast hardware portfolio they are much better upstream Linux kernel citizens and often at the forefront of new driver innovations.

The W55RP20-EVB-Pico evaluation board combines the W55RP20 MCU with the W5500 wired TCP/IP controller and the RP2040 from the Raspberry Pi Pico. This allows it to support both Raspberry Pi Pico functionalities and Ethernet capabilities.

Researchers at IBM and NASA this week released an open source AI climate model designed to accurately predict weather patterns while consuming fewer compute resources compared to traditional physics-based simulations.

NVIDIA engineers have sent out an exciting set of Linux kernel patches for enabling NVIDIA vGPU software support for virtual GPU support among multiple virtual machines (VMs).

The SiRider S1 is an upcoming industrial-grade single-board computer jointly developed by Radxa, Siengine Technology, and Arm China. It features the Siengine SE1000-I System-on-Chip, a powerful AIoT application processor built using 7nm technology.

I remember back in the day, when Flappy Bird first came into my circle of friends, how painful it was to score even a single point. I used to try going ahead but would inevitably bump into one of the pipes, only to see one of my friends do it like a pro.

Intel used their Enterprise Tech Tour last week in Oregon to not only provide insight into the new Xeon 6900 "Granite Rapids" server processors (and Xeon 6980P benchmarks) but also to shed more light on their Gaudi 3 AI inference accelerator.

It's finally here and it's finished. Halls of Torment, my favourite bullet-heaven survivor-like that has the style of classic Diablo with Vampire Survivor gameplay is out now. Nice to see another Godot Engine game with Native Linux support see a full release! It's also Steam Deck Verified.

“Adafruit Feather RP2350 with HSTX port” is a Raspberry Pi RP2350 MCU development board that features an onboard 22-pin high-speed serial transmit interface (HSTX) port. The board also features a built-in 200mA+ LiPo charger, an RGB LED, a STEMMA QT connector, and a USB Type-C port for power and programming.

Managing tasks and your daily workload can become pretty overwhelming. One of the best things you can do is to use some kind of task management software. Linux users, though, will quickly find most of them don’t work well on our OS of choice.

With the Intel Xeon 6900P "Granite Rapids" launch today the review embargo has now expired. I began with my Intel Granite Rapids Linux benchmarking a few days ago and have initial benchmarks to share for the flagship Xeon 6980P processors paired with MRDIMM 8800MT/s memory.

If you like just chilling and building things as if you're painting the screen, then you may want to take a look at Tiny Glade that just released. It has Native Linux support. For the nerds: according to a social media post from the developer it uses Rust and Vulkan.

If you are someone who primarily uses a graphical user interface on Linux, a file manager is a handy thing to have, as such tools make managing files and folders an effortless task. On the other hand, if you are a terminal enthusiast, you are better off with one of the many terminal file managers that can be wielded for powerful file organization.

The effort to bring the Xen hypervisor to the RISC-V instruction set architecture has advanced – a little – but big jobs that would make both projects a contender for more workloads are still on developers' to-do lists.

The Servo open-source browser layout engine has supported making use of the Firefox Devtools code for the provided web developer tools such as the HTML web page inspector and browser console. But that support had fallen into disrepair.

The VDX3-6757 PC/104 family of low-power x86 embedded controllers meets PC/104 specifications, offering backward compatibility for projects facing end-of-life x86-based controllers. It is suited for applications like data acquisition, industrial automation, process control, and automotive control.

Want to monitor your frame rates or GPU temperatures while gaming on Linux? It takes a little bit of setup, but it’s a simple process that you’ll have up and running in no time.

We launched the Mozilla Builders Accelerator with the theme of local AI back in June. Our goal was to spark innovation in the AI ecosystem. Now, 14 exciting projects are leading the charge.

Linux 6.11 introduced the getrandom() in the vDSO support for faster yet secure user-space random number generation needs. Initially that was focused on Linux x86_64 while for Linux 6.12 is ported to five more architectures.

Waveshare recently launched the 4-inch e-Paper HAT+(E), a E-Ink Spectra 6 full-color e-paper module designed to work with the Raspberry Pi using the HAT+ standard. This 600×400 pixel display includes E-Ink Spectra 6 technology and doesn’t have a backlight. The Spectra 6 allows for high contrast and color saturation whereas no backlight means the display consumes very low power.
