Things do not always go the way kernel developers think they will. When
the kernel gained support for the creation of read-only transparent huge
pages for the page cache in 2019, the developer of that feature, Song Liu,
added a
Kconfig file entry promising that support for writable huge
pages would arrive "in the next few release cycles". Over six years
later, that promise is still present, but it will never be fulfilled.
Instead, the read-only option will soon be removed, reflecting how the c...

- [$] A flood of useful security reports9 April 2026, 1:28 pm
The idea of using large language models (LLMs) to discover security problems is
not new. Google's Project Zero
investigated
the feasibility of using LLMs for security research in 2024. At the time, they
found that models could identify real problems, but required a good deal of
structure and hand-holding to do so on small benchmark problems. In February
2026, Anthropic
published a report
claiming that the company's most recent LLM at that point in time, Claude Opus 4.6, had discovered

It has been a little while since LWN last surveyed tools for managing a digital
music collection. In the intervening decades, many Linux users have moved on to
music streaming services, found them wanting, and are looking to curate their own
collection once again. There are plenty of choices when it comes to
ripping, managing, and playing digital audio; so many, in fact, that it can be a
bit daunting. After years of tinkering, I've found a few tools that work well for

On March 31, Kees Cook shared
a patch set that represents the culmination of more than a year of work
toward eliminating the possibility of silent, unintentional integer overflow in
the kernel. Linus Torvalds was
not pleased with the approach, leading to a detailed discussion about the
meaning of "safe" integer operations and the design of APIs for handling integer
overflows. Eventually, the developers involved reached a consensus for a
different API that should make handling overflow errors ...

Ubuntu’s new default system monitor tool Resources gains a new icon. In the Ubuntu 26.04 beta, the app was still sporting its upstream icon. That didn’t look out of place per se, but shape did not conform to the Yaru icon template (circle, squircle or upright rectangle). That’s now fixed. Still identifiably a system m...

- Clean Code: Functions and Error Handling in Go — From Chaos to Clarity, Part 110 April 2026, 12:00 pm
Introduction: Why Go Functions Are Special
I've reviewed over 1000 pull requests in Go over the past six years, and the same mistakes keep appearing. Remember your first Go code? It probably had dozens of if err != nil checks and 200-line functions that did everything at once. After analyzing over 50 Go projects, I've identified the main beginner problem: They write Go like Java or Python, ignoring the language's idioms.
Common function problems I've seen:...

- 'Cognitive Surrender' Leads AI Users To Abandon Logical Thinking, Research Finds4 April 2026, 2:00 pm
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: When it comes to large language model-powered tools, there are generally two broad categories of users. On one side are those who treat AI as a powerful but sometimes faulty service that needs careful human oversight and review to detect reasoning or factual flaws in responses. On the other side are those who routinely outsource their critical thinking to what they see as an all-knowing machine. Recent research goes a long way to forming a n...

The saying “there’s no such thing as bad publicity” always felt a little gross to me. There are a lot of reasons you might get noticed that are bad, and it should feel bad to do bad things. But maybe there’s something to it. If you hand...

So, I know you have either ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile in your installation. We all do. And many apps
we use on a daily basis use those. Plus, you like your aliases, your own env variables and maybe even one or two bash functions
you like to use.
That creates a problem. You have everything in a single file (or two) and you have a mess. It's hard to read, hard to organize and a
single mistake renders that file useless. Well, maybe not useless, but...

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

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...

- 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.

zabbix-server

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.

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...

However, I have already seen its potential and proclaimed that it could become a revolutionary open-source software project and that it has the potential to be bigger than Linux.
