With the GCC 16.1 compiler released last Thursday, I have begun running more compiler benchmarks on this first GCC 16 stable feature release. GCC 16 comes heavy on new changes in being the annual feature release and delivering changes from AMD Zen 6 and Arm AGI CPU support to new C++ features and even the Algol 68 programming language front-end. It's also looking quite good in the performance department relative to the GCC 15 compiler from last year....

- [$] Bug-monitoring expectations and Fedora GNOME packages4 May 2026, 2:59 pm
For a number of years, users submitting bugs reports against GNOME packages in Fedora have
received an auto-reply saying that the reports were not actively
monitored; users were encouraged to file bugs with GNOME upstream instead. However,
that practice seems to be in conflict with the Fedora Engineering Steering
Committee (FESCo) policy
that package maintainers "deal with reported bugs in a timely manner". On
April 28, FESCo discussed the disconnect between practice and policy; so far,
it has o...

- Eden: NHS goes to war against open source1 May 2026, 7:27 pm
Terence Eden reports
that the UK's National
Health Service (NHS) is preparing to close almost all of its open-source repositories as a
response to LLM tools, such as Anthropic's Mythos, becoming more
sophisticated at finding security vulnerabilities. He does not, to put
it mildly, agree with the decision:
The majority of code repos
published by the NHS are not meaningfully affected by any advance
in security scanning. They're mostly data sets, internal tools,
guidance, research tools, front-en...

- [$] Restartable sequences, TCMalloc, and Hyrum's Law30 April 2026, 2:01 pm
Hyrum's Law states that any
observable behavior of a system will eventually be depended upon by
somebody. The kernel community is currently contending with a clear
demonstration of that principle. The recent work to address some restartable-sequences
performance problems in the 6.19 release maintained the documented API
in all respects, but that was not enough; Google's TCMalloc
library, as it turns out, violates the documented API, prevents other code
from using restartable features, and brea...

gThumb, the open-source image viewer and organiser, has been rewritten in Vala and ported to GTK4/libadwaita – and compared to the old UI, it’s barely recognisable. An alpha build of gThumb 4.0 is available for testing. Alongside the visual revamp, this brings support for WEBP and PNG animations, lets you export images in the JXL format and includes a censor filter to pixelate or blur out parts of an image. But it’s the visual changes that mark this update out. Sure, any port from GTK3 to ...
- Attack knocks Ubuntu websites, services and Snap store offline1 May 2026, 7:54 am
If you’re having trouble accessing the Ubuntu website, the Snap store or Launchpad then you’re not alone: Canonical’s websites are currently facing a “sustained, cross-border” attack. The company says it is “working to address” the attack and will provide more details shortly. Websites and services have been affected since around 6PM (UK time) 30 April. What is and isn’t affected right now The Ubuntu APT repos are not offline, as they’re mirrored across multiple locations, coun...

We also got Firefox 150 with GTK emoji picker support and split tab improvements, and a modest bug fix update to the GIMP image editor, albeit resolving an annoying on-canvas text tool quirk. Below, I list other notable Linux app releases to arrive in April. While these didn’t merit a dedicate...

Linux Mint’s switch to a longer development cycle – the next release is coming at Christmas – has a knock on effect for people trying to install it on newer hardware that requires a newer kernel. So, a solution has been found. A new set of ISO images dubbed HWE (Hardware Enablement have been published to “address compatibility issues with brand new hardware”, says Linux Mint project lead Clement Lefebvre. The new Linux 22.3 HWE image contains the Linux 6.17 kernel. The team will, from ...
- Someone got Ubuntu running on a PS5 – and played Steam30 April 2026, 2:37 am
A newly launched project lets you boot Ubuntu on a PlayStation 5 to play Steam games, though only if your console is on old enough firmware. The hack is the work of security engineer Andy Nguyen, who this week announced a public release of his ps5-linux-boot project so more people can turn their “…PS5 Phat console on 3.xx and 4.xx [Firmware] into a fully functional Linux PC gaming device”. Obviously, this is all unofficial. The project exploits a patched hypervisor vulnerability to give L...
- Enabling Ubuntu Pro in Security Center is super easy29 April 2026, 9:59 pm
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS dropped the Software & Updates utility from default installs and added Ubuntu Pro settings to the Security Center app. But is the setup experience any better? The short answer is yes, mostly. The range of options still mirrors what was found in the old Software & Updates > Ubuntu Pro tab, but the layout is less cramped, with more room for concise explanations of what each setting and toggle does. Ubuntu Pro is free for personal use on up-to five devices. A paid s...
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS security support has ended – unless you pay28 April 2026, 2:53 pm
If you’re still running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus), heads up: Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) ended this month and your system is no longer receiving security updates. Having debuted in April 2016, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS received five years of standard support with a further 5 years of security coverage available through ESM by enabling Ubuntu Pro. ESM for 16.04 ended April 2026, meaning action is needed to stay protected. The most straightforward thing to do is to upgrade to a more recent ...
- Canonical is ‘ramping up’ AI in Ubuntu this year27 April 2026, 2:10 pm
AI features are coming to Ubuntu in 2026, though Canonical has made clear that the distro is not becoming an AI product. In a community post, Jon Seager, VP of engineering at Canonical, says the company is “ramping up its use of AI tools in a focused and principled manner” this year, with a bias toward local inference and open-weight models whose licence terms match Canonical’s values. AI features in Ubuntu will take one of two forms. Implicit features improve existing capabilities using o...
- Firefox’s free VPN is getting the one feature it was missing26 April 2026, 7:47 pm
Mozilla has attracted kudos since it added a free built-in VPN to its Firefox web browser, not least because of the generous 50 GB a month usage limit. Now it’s set to add another sweetener: server location choice. Mozilla began rolling out VPN integration in Firefox 149 for Windows, macOS and Linux to users in the UK, USA, France and Germany as a privacy shield: it hides your real IP address when browsing by routing traffic through a secure proxy server hosted by Fastly. Canada was added to ...
- Canonical finally gives Launchpad (a bit of) a glow-up24 April 2026, 5:38 pm
Launchpad, the home of Ubuntu development, has finally received some design attention. Canonical last updated the site’s homepage back in 2024, but many of the pages that the distro’s developers actually use or reference on a regular basis have remained untouched for the best part of a decade. Now that’s starting to change. Canonical UX designer Enzo Deng has announced that the company has “begun […] a complete redesign of the series page” for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, describing it as the s...

- Kubernetes v1.36: Pod-Level Resource Managers (Alpha)1 May 2026, 6:35 pm
Kubernetes v1.36 introduces
Pod-Level Resource Managers
as an alpha feature, bringing a more flexible and powerful resource management
model to performance-sensitive workloads. This enhancement extends the kubelet's
Topology, CPU, and Memory Managers to support pod-level resource specifications
(.spec.resources), evolving them from a strictly per-container allocation
model to a pod-centric one.
Why do we need pod-level resource managers?
When running performance-critical workloads such as machin...

- Kubernetes v1.36: Staleness Mitigation and Observability for Controllers28 April 2026, 6:35 pm
Staleness in Kubernetes controllers is a problem that affects many controllers, and is something may affect controller behavior
in subtle ways. It is usually not until it is too late, when a controller in production has already taken incorrect action, that
staleness is found to be an issue due to some underlying assumption made by the controller author. Some issues caused by staleness
include controllers taking incorrect actions, controllers not taking action when they should, and controllers ta...
- Kubernetes v1.36: Mutable Pod Resources for Suspended Jobs (beta)27 April 2026, 6:35 pm

reached the point where "rootless" security isolation can be used for
Kubernetes workloads.
This feature also enables a critical pattern: running workloads with
privileges and still being confined in the ...
- SELinux Volume Label Changes goes GA (and likely implications in v1.37)22 April 2026, 6:35 pm
If you run Kubernetes on Linux with SELinux in enforcing mode, plan ahead: a future release (anticipated to be v1.37) is
expected to turn the SELinuxMount feature gate on by default. This makes volume setup faster
for most workloads, but it can break applications that still depend on the older recursive relabeling
model in subtle ways (for example, sharing one volume between privileged and unprivileged Pods on the same node).

Money is hemorrhaging out of the infrastructure at a rate that won't become visible until the CFO opens a billing dashboard, squints at a number that seems obviously misformatted, and then realizes with a specific, cold dread that i...

- Building Fault-Tolerant Kafka Consumers in Spring Boot Using Retry, DLQ, and Idempotent Code Patterns4 May 2026, 12:00 pm
Apache Kafka is a robust distributed streaming platform, but building a fault tolerant consumer requires careful handling of errors and duplicates. In this article, we focus on Spring Boot 3 with Spring Kafka 3.x to implement resilient Kafka consumers using retry mechanisms, dead-letter queues (DLQs), and idempotent processing patterns. We'll walk through how to configure retries, route problematic messages to a DLQ, and ensure that even if the same message is consumed multiple times, it is proc...
- Understanding MCP Architecture: LLM + API vs Model Context Protocol1 May 2026, 8:00 pm
Suppose you want a chatbot that works with PDFs: extract text, search across documents, summarize sections. You can build it two ways: by calling an LLM API directly and wiring tools yourself, or by exposing those tools through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Same user experience — different architecture. This article uses a PDF example to walk through both routes and explain what MCP adds.
The Goal
User asks in natural language → chatbot reads/searches PDFs → returns an answer....

Users upgrading from an existing kea installation should therefore run the following commands after the upgrade:

check for .pacsave files in /etc/iptables/ and restore your rules if needed:
/etc/iptables/iptables.rules.pacsave
/etc/iptables/ip6tables.rules.pacsave
Most setups should work unchanged, but users relying on uncommon xtables
extensions or legacy-only behavior should test carefully and use
iptables-legacy if r...
- NVIDIA 590 driver drops Pascal and lower support; main packages switch to Open Kernel Modules20 December 2025, 6:53 pm
With the update to driver version 590, the NVIDIA driver no longer supports Pascal (GTX 10xx) GPUs or older. We will replace the nvidia package with nvidia-open, nvidia-dkms with nvidia-open-dkms, and nvidia-lts with nvidia-lts-open.
Impact: Updating the NVIDIA packages on systems with Pascal, Maxwell, or older cards will fail to load the driver, which may result in a broken graphical environment.
Intervention required for Pascal/older users: Users with GTX 10xx series and older cards must switc...

- waydroid >= 1.5.4-3 update may require manual intervention6 November 2025, 12:35 am
The waydroid package prior to version 1.5.4-2 (including aur/waydroid) creates Python byte-code files (.pyc) at runtime which were untracked by pacman. This issue has been fixed in 1.5.4-3, where byte-compiling these files is now done during the packaging process.
As a result, the upgrade may conflict with the unowned files created in previous versions. If you encounter errors like the following during the update:

- dovecot >= 2.4 requires manual intervention31 October 2025, 9:20 pm
The dovecot 2.4 release branch has made breaking changes which result

configuration file was migrated, requiring manual intervention.

This shared zabbix user account is provided by the newly introduced zabbix-common split package, which is now a dep...
- linux-firmware >= 20250613.12fe085f-5 upgrade requires manual intervention21 June 2025, 11:09 pm
With 20250613.12fe085f-5, we split our firmware into several vendor-focused packages. linux-firmware is now an empty package depending on our default set of firmware.
Unfortunately, this coincided with upstream reorganizing the symlink layout of the NVIDIA firmware, resulting in a situation that Pacman cannot handle. When attempting to upgrade from 20250508.788aadc8-2 or earlier, you will see the following errors:
linux-firmware-nvidia: /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad103 exists in filesystem

- Plasma 6.4.0 will need manual intervention if you are on X1120 June 2025, 7:08 am
On Plasma 6.4 the wayland session will be the only one installed when the users does not manually specify kwin-x11.
With the recent split of kwin into kwin-wayland and kwin-x11, users running the old X11 session needs to manually install plasma-x11-session, or they will not be able to login. Currently pacman is not able to figure out your personal setup, and it wouldn't be ok to install plasma-x11-session and kwin-x11 for every
one using Plasma.

Quickly. With actual instructions on how to get it started.That email led to a blog post called “Will Real Python Hackers Please Stand Up,” which becam...

I’m writing this on a MacBook Air running macOS 26 Tahoe, and I keep glancing at my Mac Mini in the corner — the one running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.I’ve been a macOS user for a decade. I develop iOS apps.

- Linux Won, and Nobody Noticed25 March 2026, 1:38 am
The tech industry has failed to properly acknowledge this for years: Linux won. Not "Linux is doing fine." Not "Linux is making progress." Not "maybe next year will be the year of the Linux desktop." No. Linux won. Decisively. Overwhelmingly. In nearly every category of computing that actually matters, Linux is the dominant operating system on the planet — and it happened quietly that most people, including many who use it every single day, have absolutely no idea.I've been writing about Lin...

A few years ago, a friend of mine bought a Rolex Submariner. It cost him roughly the same as a decent used car. He showed it to me with the kind of pride usually reserved for newborn babies and championship trophies. It was beautiful, I’ll admit. The weight of it, the way it caught the light, the satisfying click of the rotating bezel — there’s a reason people have been obsessed with luxury watches for centuries.He then asked me what I was wearing on my wrist. I looked down at my Garmin Fe...
