- Intel Introducing USB4STREAM Protocol For Linux - Opening Up Some Nifty Uses For USB425 May 2026, 10:46 am
An exciting Intel innovation expected to be added for the upcoming Linux 7.2 kernel is introducing the new USB4STREAM protocol for USB4/Thunderbolt as a "super simple" way to "basically just transfer raw packets from one host to another". This can be useful for quickly backing up a system from one host to another, sharing of web cameras or other peripherals across systems, or other environments where not having networking or wanting to avoid the traditional Linux networking stack......

In a plenary session at
the
2026 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, the state of patch
review using large language models (LLMs) was discussed. It is a topic that has been swirling around in the
kernel community for much of the year. The plenary, which was led by Roman
Gushchin, Chris Mason, Josef Bacik, and Sasha Levin, resulted in a quite bit
of discussion, so much that a second filesystem-track-only (though others
surely sat in) slot was used to continue it later ...

Lab in its 3D printers. The company has not provided the source code to
its modifications to a 3D "slicer" program that was released under the
AGPLv3 and it has also threatened Paweł Jarczak who created a fork of a
different slicer (Orca Slicer) released under AGPLv3 in order to interoperate with his
Bambu printer. Based on that, the SFC has created the baltobu

- Kernel prepatch 7.1-rc524 May 2026, 10:59 pm
The 7.1-rc5 kernel prepatch is out for
testing. Quoth Linus:
I'm not entirely happy about it - most of this is totally trivial
stuff to random drivers, which obviously makes it all less scary,
but at the same time I'm really not convinced the churn is worth it
at rc5 time. These things are "fixes", sure, but at the same time a
lot of them are simply so irrelevant that I think they'd be better
off in a linux-next tree and get merged during the merge window.
So I think I'll start being ...

- [$] Custom page-cache policies with BPF22 May 2026, 2:37 pm
The kernel's page cache is charged with maintaining pages (or, more
correctly, folios) containing copies of
data from files in the filesystem; its performance has a big effect on the
performance of the system as a whole. One of the key decisions the kernel
must make is when to evict folios from the page cache. At the 2026 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, Tal Zussman ran a
memory-management-track session on how the page cache could be better
customized for specific ...
- [$] Toward better handling of major page faults22 May 2026, 1:50 pm
A major page fault occurs when a process attempts to access a page that is
not currently present in RAM; satisfying such faults usually involves I/O, and can thus take some time. When many threads
sharing an address space are generating page faults, the result can be
significant lock contention while that I/O
takes place. During the memory-management track at the 2026 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, Barry Song led a session
to try, yet again, to find an enduring s...

Linux Mint developers are building a new screenshot utility for the Cinnamon desktop, ahead of its next major release. The home-grown tool will give users more options when taking screenshots and will “accommodate the differences between CSD (Client Side Decoration) and SSD (Server Side Decoration) windows” to provide ‘cleaner’ looking screenshots. Currently, Cinnamon rolls with the GTK-based gnome-screenshot. That tool works fine, but it doesn’t render shadows in windowed app screensh...
- Canonical to shut Ubuntu Pastebin after 18 years of service24 May 2026, 6:28 pm
Canonical will decommission its long-running text-hosting service Ubuntu Pastebin on May 31. The company is pulling the plug as part of a broader “infrastructure modernization and migration project”, according to Canonical Community Engineer Aaron Prisk. Ubuntu Pastebin works similarly to GitHub’s Gist, albeit without the revision history. It’s been available as a tool the community can use since late 2007. The service was partly launched to help the distro’s official IRC support chann...

Daily builds of Ubuntu 26.10 ‘Stonking Stingray’ are now available for download, as development on the distro’s next major release kicks in to gear. As the name suggests, new ISOs are produced from development code on a (mostly) daily basis, giving those keen to test October’s release in advance the ability to do so. However, because package updates can break the ability for a bootable image to be created, it’s not unusual for there to be temporary gaps between new daily builds being a...

A new version of ONLYOFFICE, the open-source productivity suite, is out with a small set of improvements. The new release lands a couple of months after ONLYOFFICE suspended its eight-year Nextcloud partnership over Euro-Office, a fork by a European consortium that ONLYOFFICE says violates its AGPLv3 licence terms. Totally unrelated (yes, sarcasm), ONLYOFFICE 9.4 updates its licensing. Forks are still permitted but ‘additional terms’ demand that forks credit ONLYOFFICE as the original develo...
- Vivaldi 8.0 released with ‘biggest design overhaul, ever’21 May 2026, 3:42 pm
A bold new look arrives in Vivaldi 8.0, the latest update to the Chromium-based web browser. The browser’s main UI elements (the bits that make a browser looks like a browser, so tabs, toolbars, panels, and content) drop their boundaries to form a continuous look. Hence the named Unified. Similar to Zen Browser, the canvas for web content is now ‘framed’ with rounded corners, rather than web pages flowing fully from edge-to-edge. “Unified is not a visual refresh. It is a rethinking of ho...

Canonical has released Ubuntu Core 26, a new long-term support (LTS) version of its immutable, snap-based OS. Among the changes Ubuntu Core 26 brings is smaller over-the-air updates, with download sizes reduced by up to 90% for most snaps thanks to a new snap-delta format. Updates to the Core base snaps specifically drop from 16 MB to 1.5 MB. Installation times are faster as the initramfs-based installer skips redundant reboots during provisioning. Core 26 also enables live kernel patching on AR...

Now called Firefox Home, the new tab page has a “new look and feel”, to quote Mozilla.

Unfortunately, the API assumes that every user in the cluster is fully
trusted, and in any situation where that is not the case, it enables
various security exploits, as described in
CVE-2020-8554.
Since Kubernetes 1.21, the Kubernetes project has recommended that all users disable

- Kubernetes v1.36: Server-Side Sharded List and Watch6 May 2026, 6:35 pm
As Kubernetes clusters grow to tens of thousands of nodes, controllers that watch
high-cardinality resources like Pods face a scaling wall. Every replica of a
horizontally scaled controller receives the full stream of events from the API
server, paying the CPU, memory, and network cost to deserialize everything, only
to discard the objects it is not responsible for. Scaling out the controller
does not reduce per-replica cost; it multiplies it.
Kubernetes v1.36 introduces server-side sharded list...

Large messaging platforms rarely collapse because authentication is broken. They collapse because authorization quietly expands, then stays expanded. The failure mode is not a single bug but a system property: credentials that were created for one narrow purpose become reusable, long-lived, and operationally too useful, until they function as capability grants far beyond the original intent.

The New York Times argues those layoffs have now shifted the culture at Big Tech companies, after interviewing more than two dozen of their workers. "Cooperation and collegiality are on the wane; chumminess between employees and managers has cooled as mutual suspicion pervades their relationships; and a throbbing economic anxiety infects almost every conversation.
"Perhaps no site on the internet refle...

All references to "varnish" have been changed to "vinyl" in all binaries and directories.

- NVIDIA 590 driver drops Pascal and lower support; main packages switch to Open Kernel Modules20 December 2025, 6:53 pm

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...

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:

This shared zabbix user account is provided by the newly introduced zabbix-common split package, which is now a dep...

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 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...
- How I Built a Local AI Hub Using Free and Open Source Software on My Old Mac Mini16 March 2026, 1:46 am
I’m going to tell you something that would have sounded absolutely insane five years ago: I’m running artificial intelligence on a computer the size of a lunch box, it works offline, my data never leaves my house, and it costs me nothing beyond the electricity to keep it running.No monthly subscription. No API fees. No sending my private documents to some server farm in Virginia. Just me, a Mac Mini M1, and a free and open-source software called Ollama that has quietly become one of the most...
- Health Is Wealth: Why I Chose a Smartwatch Over a Rolex8 March 2026, 8:33 am
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...
- The State of the Linux Desktop in 2026: A Love Letter from a Prodigal Penguin1 March 2026, 1:24 pm
Let me start with a confession. I haven’t used Linux as my daily desktop operating system in roughly a decade.I know. Take a moment. Breathe. For those of you who have been reading TechSource since the Ubuntu and Compiz days, that sentence may stung. This is, after all, the same site that published 587 posts tagged “linux” — from distro reviews and desktop customization showcases to that infamous Distrowar series where I played judge and jury as two distributions fought for supremacy lik...

This is starting to feel like that friend who keeps sayi...
- How to Easily Install a Full Bitcoin Lightning Node on a Raspberry Pi24 June 2021, 3:56 am
I recently installed a full bitcoin node on our home network, and lucky for me, I got everything up and running quickly without bumping into some issues. Before I will show you the steps on how to install a full bitcoin node, allow me to explain some of my reasons why I ended up doing this. As some of you may already know, bitcoin is a network composed of thousands of nodes. A record of every bitcoin transaction is verified and maintained inside a node. So if you are running one, you will essen...
