With the first quarter quickly drawing to a close, here's a look back at the most popular Intel Linux news of the quarter. There's been excitement with the Battlemage discrete graphics cards with their open-source driver, early work on Xe3 graphics, AVX10.2 dropping the optional 512-bit features to make it mandatory now (thankfully!), and a lot of exciting upstream Linux kernel improvements...

It's been just over one year since the Linux Foundation and partners announced Valkey as a fork of Redis. Following the release of Redis 8.0 in September for this in-memory key-value database, Valkey 8.1 is out today...

From smartphones to surveillance cameras to security snafus, there's no escape. Opinion I was going to write a story about how Amazon is no longer even pretending to respect your privacy. But, really, why bother?…

For those dealing with exFAT formatted storage devices under Linux, the upcoming Linux 6.15 kernel has a big optimization for yielding much faster delete performance when making use of the "discard" mount option...

WildFly formerly JBoss is a free and open-source application server that helps you build and deploy Java web applications. In this guide, you will learn how to install WildFly or JBoss application runtime on a Debian 12 server.

Cloud Hypervisor began as an open-source Intel software project more than a half-decade ago with an emphasis on security and cloud deployments while leveraging the Rust programming language. With time its scope has broadened a lot as has its industry adoption. With time it added ARM64 support and recruited AMD, Ampere Computing, Microsoft, and others as its supporters while being folded into the Linux Foundation. The latest expansion for the project is introducing experimental RISC-V 64-bit support...

The in-development Linux 6.15 kernel is continuing to enhance its support for MIPI's SoundWire specification for small audio peripherals with this two-pin, low-complexity audio interface...

IO_uring continues maturing while being one of the greatest innovations within the Linux kernel in the past number of years. With Linux 6.15, IO_uring is getting even more interesting with introducing network zero-copy receive support. With this new code a 200G link could be saturated off a single CPU core in a recent demonstration...

The watchdog subsystem changes have been submitted for the Linux 6.15 merge window that is now at the mid-way point...

Google's Ozone Wayland support continues to improve for benefiting the Chrome/Chromium web browser. The newest addition merged this past week is support for the xdg-session-management protocol...

The Arch Linux powered CachyOS is out with its March 2025 update that delivers a number of new features for this OS that is popular with open-source enthusiasts and power users for its out-of-the-box performance optimizations and extensive tuning...

There's also a new release of the Zorin OS distro The handy GNOME extension Dash to Panel will live on, under its present maintainer, after winning financial backing from one of the distros that uses it.…

While the upstream MIPS architecture is at a dead-end due to RISC-V, the Linux kernel code for the MIPS CPU architecture continues to improve for all the existing MIPS-based platforms out there. With Linux 6.15 there is new work for enhancing the Mobileye EyeQ6 SoC support...

Shotcut 25.03 is now available for this open-source and cross-platform video editor built atop the MLT Multimedia Framework...

CrowdSupply recently introduced the TinyBeast FPGA, a compact platform based on Microchip’s PolarFire FPGA technology. It stands out for its ability to offload computationally intensive tasks from the central processor, enabling real-time data processing in space-constrained environments like automation, measurement, and robotics. TinyBeast FPGA comes in two configurations. The TinyBeast FPGA P features a Mini […]

We're pleased to announce that the freeze for Debian 13 'trixie' has begun.

Set to be merged for the Linux 6.15 kernel is the very initial NOVA driver core code that will be incrementally built up over time in succeeding kernel versions. For Linux 6.15, this open-source NVIDIA kernel driver isn't of any use for end-users as it's just the very preliminary pieces to begin crafting the foundation for the driver that is leveraging the NVIDIA GSP found with Turing and newer hardware. In preparation for future kernel cycles, the NOVA skeleton driver pieces were posted for review yesterday to begin fleshing out more of the driver's design...

The Luckfox Pico Pi series consists of four models with a Raspberry Pi SBC form factor, designed for embedded applications. Offering various processing capabilities, connectivity options, and memory configurations, these boards include PoE support and optional 4G connectivity. This SBC accommodates the LuckFox Core1106 module seen earlier this year. The series features the Rockchip RV1106 […]

All of the PCI subsystem feature updates have now been merged for the Linux 6.15 kernel cycle. This includes some new drivers from AMD and Intel-Altera as well as various other PCI changes...

Miscreants warming to Delphi, Haskell, and the like to evade detection. Malware authors looking to evade analysis are turning to less popular programming languages like Delphi or Haskell.…
