- Ubuntu To Ship Newer AMD ROCm Updates Via SRUs3 June 2026, 11:44 am
As noted back in April, with Ubuntu 26.04 LTS it's now possible to simply "apt install rocm" on Ubuntu Linux for installing AMD's open-source GPU compute stack. But as prominently noted there, what's shipped right now in Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is already months out of date compared to upstream ROCm. Fortunately, Canonical shared today that moving forward they plan to ship newer ROCm versions as stable release updates (SRUs)......

Extended
attributes (xattrs) provide a way to attach key/value metadata to
inodes—files, directories, and the like—in a filesystem. As with many
Linux filesystems, the FUSE filesystem
supports xattrs. In a filesystem-track session at the 2026 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, FUSE maintainer Miklos

- [$] Trying to make sense of package-manager metadata2 June 2026, 1:33 pm
Package managers for operating systems and programming languages have been
around for decades. Each package manager, and its accompanying packaging format,
has been shaped by the needs of its respective ecosystem, but there is a growing
need to make use of package metadata for more than software management: for
example, in vulnerability scans, software bills of materials (SBOMs), and more. On
May 19, Damián Vicino spoke at the Open Source Summit North America 2026

was announced
in March.
This release is based on Vim 8.2.0148, with a number of bug fixes
and patches conservatively backported from future versions of Vim
upstream. We elected to clean up this version of Vim, prepare it for a
release, and imagine an alternate history where Vim 8.3 was released
without Vim9 script. The result is Vim Classic 8.3. We chose to take
this approach in order to r...

Over on the AboutCode blog, lead
maintainer Philippe Ombredanne writes
about an agentic LLM system porting the ScanCode
Toolkit to Rust. In the process, the LLM (or the people behind it)
infringed the ScanCode trademark, stripped copyright and license notices,
"and started an outreach campaign, without ever engaging the AboutCode
community". Ironically, the toolkit is used to scan source code and binaries in
order to figure out licensing and copyright information; it also reports on

- [$] Representing the true signatures of kernel functions1 June 2026, 6:59 pm
Optimizing compilers can, under some circumstances, infer when a parameter to a
function is not needed, and remove it. This is all well and good until the
kernel's tracing or BPF subsystems need information on how to call the function
or where its arguments are stored.
Alan Maguire and Yonghong Song spoke at the 2026

- [$] Reconsidering x32 — again1 June 2026, 2:22 pm
The x32 ABI was meant
to be the best of both worlds, providing the expanded registers and
instruction set of the x86-64 architecture while preserving the lower
memory use of 32-bit systems. The Linux kernel has supported x32 since the
3.4 release in 2012. The initial excitement around x32 did not last,
though, and kernel developers are considering removing that support — and
not for the first time. Even the most unloved features tend to have a few
users, though, making removal hard....

Insight into plans for the Pi 6 were shared by three of the company’s key engineers and leaders in an AMA (ask me anything) session on Reddit on 21 May, 2026. Based on past launches the gap between major Pi models (Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4 and 5) is around 3-4 years. The Raspberry Pi 5 launched in 2023. That should put the Pi 6 on course for launch in 2026 or 2027. But Raspberry Pi ...

In this tutorial, you’ll run a small LangGraph agent locally, then migrate its hardcoded prompts, model choice, and tools into LaunchDarkly AI Configs. After the migration, every prompt tweak, model swap, or tool change ships as a LaunchDarkly update instead of a code deploy. The migration takes about 20 minutes.
When you finish, the codebase will:...
- Stop Debugging Glue Jobs Manually: Building an Agentic Observability Layer for Data Pipelines2 June 2026, 3:00 pm
The Pipeline Did Not Fail Cleanly
Most pipeline failures don't look like "the job failed."
Consider a common scenario. A Glue job reads overnight event files, applies business rules, and writes to an Iceberg curated table. The job runs at its scheduled time and errors out partway through. The control table shows SUCCESS for the previous batch and FAILED for the current one, which is what you'd expect. The problem is what happened between those two states: the job wrote nine of the day's twelve p...
- Building a Spring AI Assistant With MCP Servers: A Step-by-Step Tutorial2 June 2026, 2:30 pm
Large language models are powerful text generators, but on their own, they can't see your business data or invoke your existing systems. Model Context Protocol (MCP), released by Anthropic and quickly adopted across the industry, solves this with an elegant client-server design. It lets AI applications plug into specialized servers that expose tools, returning real data the LLM can use to give accurate, practical answers.
This article (the first one in a series of three) walks through building a...
- Alternative Structured Concurrency2 June 2026, 2:00 pm
Java structured concurrency has been under development for a span of 5 years, weaving through 8 (!) distinct JEPs (JEP 428, JEP 437, JEP 453, JEP 462, JEP 480, JEP 499, JEP 505, JEP 525). To me, this feels rather excessive for what could be considered a fairly concise feature.
My goal here is to experiment with an alternative approach that leverages Java's tried-and-tested, robust functionality available since JDK 1.5. It's possible this pathway could achieve better outcomes than what is propo...

- Thanks To Robots, Ukraine Is Now Talking About Winning, Not Just Surviving3 June 2026, 11:00 am
fjo3 shares a report from Defense One: A small but growing number of European officials and analysts are saying what four years ago was unthinkable: Ukraine isn't just surviving its grueling war with Russia, it is in some ways thriving and may even be on a path to victory. This isn't yet captured in headlines -- for example, about last weekend's barrage of Russian drones and missiles around Ukraine -- but in the details, like how some 90 percent were intercepted. Several long-term trends have sh...

Jef Spaleta came back to Fedora at exactly the right moment. After years away, working across sof...
- Fedora Magazine: #Commit History: Tell Us About Your First Commit2 June 2026, 2:11 pm
Maybe it was a one-line typo fix in the docs. Perhaps it was a package you’d been maintaining in secret for months before you finally submitted it. Maybe it was completely terrifying, or maybe it just felt like the most natural thing in the world. Whatever it was we want to hear about it.
Ahead of Flock to Fedora 2026 (June 14–16, Prague), We the Fedora CommOps team are launching #Commit History: a community campaign to collect the origin stories of ...

- Marcin Juszkiewicz: Arm desktop: so many cores, not enough speed1 June 2026, 1:06 pm
Using a system with 80 AArch64 cores can be a pleasure. Or a pain…
Multicore heaven?
Having 80 cores sounds nice, doesn’t it? But not so much during actual use…
You see, building Fedora packages was flying by. With all cores in use, ccache
buffers filling up (in case of rebuilds), and 128 GB of RAM in constant use, etc.
But at the same time, 100% load on all cores means you cannot listen to music
on Spotify or watch online videos, etc. All that becau...

La neta, la virtualización tradicional con VMware se ha vuelto un dolor de cabeza económico para muchísimas organizaciones. Con los
cambios recientes de licenciamiento y la incertidumbre del mercado, quedarse ahí amarrado ya no tiene sentido. Pero, a final de
cuentas, dar el salto a una nube abierta no es una decisión de "copiar y pegar"; es una chamba estratégica y bien técnica.

- Breaking changes for all users of `varnish`, which is renamed to `vinyl-cache`25 May 2026, 4:58 am
The Varnish project has renamed itself to Vinyl Cache.
We followed this rename with a new vinyl-cache package.
This upgrade results in breaking changes and users are advised to study these changes and how it affects them before following the replacement.
All references to "varnish" have been changed to "vinyl" in all binaries and directories.
At minimum, users will have to:
rename /etc/varnish to /etc/vinyl-cache
rename /var/lib/varnish to /var/lib/vinyl-cache

- kea >= 1:3.0.3-6 update requires manual intervention7 April 2026, 4:50 pm
The kea package has moved all services to run as a dedicated kea user (instead of root) for improved security. This change requires permission updates to the runtime files created by the kea services.
Users upgrading from an existing kea installation should therefore run the following commands after the upgrade:
chown kea: /var/lib/kea/* /var/log/kea/* /run/lock/kea/logger_lockfile
systemctl try-restart kea-ctrl-agent.service kea-dhcp{4,6,-ddns}.service

- iptables now defaults to the nft backend5 April 2026, 6:28 pm
The old iptables-nft package name is replaced by iptables, and the

When switching packages (among iptables-nft, iptables, iptables-legacy),
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...
- .NET packages may require manual intervention11 December 2025, 7:01 am

dotnet-runtime
dotnet-sdk
dotnet-source-built-artifacts
dotnet-targeting-pack
pacman may display the following error failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) for the affected packages.
If you are affected by this and require the 9.0 packages, the following commands will update e.g. aspnet-runtime to aspnet-runtime-9.0:

- 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:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
waydroid: /usr/lib/waydro...
- dovecot >= 2.4 requires manual intervention31 October 2025, 9:20 pm
The dovecot 2.4 release branch has made breaking changes which result
in it being incompatible with any <= 2.3 configuration file.
Thus, the dovecot service will no longer be able to start until the
configuration file was migrated, requiring manual intervention.
For guidance on the 2.3-to-2.4 migration, please refer to the
following upstream documentation:
Upgrading Dovecot CE from 2.3 to 2.4
Furthermore, the dovecot 2.4 branch no longer supports their
replication feature, it was removed.

- zabbix >= 7.4.1-2 may require manual intervention4 August 2025, 2:58 pm
Starting with 7.4.1-2, the following Zabbix system user accounts (previously shipped by their related packages) will no longer be used. Instead, all Zabbix components will now rely on a shared zabbix user account (as originally intended by upstream and done by other distributions):
zabbix-server
zabbix-proxy
zabbix-agent (also used by the zabbix-agent2 package)
zabbix-web-service
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

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...

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.
