As part of my ongoing testing around the upcoming Ubuntu 26.04 release I have been running a lot of benchmarks. After recently showing some nice performance gains for AMD Ryzen AI Max "Strix Halo" with Ubuntu 26.04, several Phoronix readers inquired about any performance uplift from the more modest but still powerful Strix Point laptops like the popular Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 SKU.

- [$] Tagging music with MusicBrainz Picard14 April 2026, 3:50 pm
Part of the "fun" that comes with curating a self-hosted music library is tagging
music so that it has accurate and uniform metadata, such as the band names, album titles,
cover images, and so on. This can be a tedious endeavor, but there are quite a few
open-source tools to make this process easier. One of the best, or at least my
favorite, is MusicBrainz Picard. It is
a cross-platform music-tagging application that pulls information from the
well-curated, crowdsourced MusicBrainz
database proj...

subject of a keynote at SCALE in 2025
given by Denver Gingerich of the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC),
which played a big role in developing the router. Gingerich returned to
the conference in
2026 to talk about the build system used by the OpenWrt One, which is
focused on creating the needed binaries, naturally, but doing so in a way
that makes it easy to comply with the licenses of th...
- Servo now on crates.io13 April 2026, 2:49 pm
The Servo project has announced
the first release of servo as a crate for use as a
library.
As you can see from the version number, this release is not a 1.0
release. In fact, we still haven't finished discussing what 1.0 means
for Servo. Nevertheless, the increased version number reflects our
growing confidence in Servo's embedding API and its ability to meet
some users' needs.
In the meantime we also decided to offer a long-term support (LTS)
version of Servo, since breaking changes in the ...

- The 7.0 kernel has been released12 April 2026, 9:09 pm
Linus has released the 7.0 kernel after a
busy nine-week development cycle.
The last week of the release continued the same "lots of small
fixes" trend, but it all really does seem pretty benign, so I've
tagged the final 7.0 and pushed it out.
I suspect it's a lot of AI tool use that will keep finding corner
cases for us for a while, so this may be the "new normal" at least
for a while. Only time will tell.
Significant changes in this release include
the removal
of the "experimental" ...

- Tributary is a GTK4 reimagining of Rhythmbox music player14 April 2026, 2:41 pm
Ever wondered what a GTK4/libadwaita version of Linux music player Rhythmbox might look like? A new app in development imagines just that. Tributary is billed as a “high-performance, Rhythmbox-style media manager written in pure Rust with GTK4 and libadwaita”. It’s more than a way to play local audio files. Tributary can also access and stream music from Jellyfin, Plex, DAAP/iTunes shares, and Subsonic/Navidrome setups, and makes it easy to browse and play internet radio stations – all f...
- Quick Lofi – a GNOME extension for chill beats to study to13 April 2026, 1:50 am
Quick Lofi is a GNOME Shell extension that puts a lofi radio player in your top bar. If you’ve ever opened a new browser tab to load a “lofi beats to study to” stream on YouTube — lofi girl, perhaps – to act as an ambient backdrop to work to, the appeal will be evident. If not, all you need to know is that mellow, lyric-free, low-tempo sounds are reputedly ideal for focus. A wedge of research backs up the benefits of playing background music (or ambient noise or frequencies, including...
- Linux 7.0: faster swap, Intel TSX & Rock Band 4 controller support12 April 2026, 10:27 pm
Linus Torvalds has released Linux 7.0, the kernel version that Ubuntu 26.04 LTS runs on. Linux 7.0 includes a new standardised filesystem error reporting system, faster swap performance and hardware video decoding for a crop of Rockchip ARM64 single-board computers. On the quirky side, Rock Band 4 Bluetooth controller support is now included. The shiny new version number does not, however, signify anything special. Linus has always been upfront that kernel version numbers tick up when the minor ...

Amazon is dropping support for Kindle older models from 20 May, 2026, meaning owners of pre-2013 models will be unable to download new books or set up a device that has been factory reset — deregistering a device will effectively ‘brick’ it. While no company can support all of their products forever (one could argue a company the size of this one could, mind), most of the devices impacted, listed below, have not received firmware updates for over a decade, and most lost on-device access th...

With the Ingress-NGINX retirement scheduled for March 2026, the Kubernetes networking landscape is at a turning point.

Migrating from Ingress to Gateway API is a fundamental shift in API design.
Gateway API provides a modular, extensible API with strong support for Kubernetes-native RBAC.
Conversely, the Ingress API is simple, and implementations such as Ingress-NGINX extend the API through eso...
- Running Agents on Kubernetes with Agent Sandbox20 March 2026, 6:00 pm
The landscape of artificial intelligence is undergoing a massive architectural shift. In the early days of generative AI, interacting with a model was often treated as a transient, stateless function call: a request that spun up, executed for perhaps 50 milliseconds, and terminated.
Today, the world is witnessing AI v2 eating AI v1. The ecosystem is moving from short-lived, isolated tasks to deploying multiple, coordinated AI agents that run constantly. These autonomous agents need to maintain c...
- Securing Production Debugging in Kubernetes18 March 2026, 6:00 pm
During production debugging, the fastest route is often broad access such as cluster-admin (a ClusterRole that grants administrator-level access), shared bastions/jump boxes, or long-lived SSH keys. It works in the moment, but it comes with two common problems: auditing becomes difficult, and temporary exceptions have a way of becoming routine.
This post offers my recommendations for good practices applicable to existing Kubernetes environments with minimal tooling changes:

- The Invisible Rewrite: Modernizing the Kubernetes Image Promoter17 March 2026, 12:00 am
Every container image you pull from registry.k8s.io got there through
kpromo, the Kubernetes image

production, signs them with cosign, replicates
signatures across more than 20 regional mirrors, and generates
SLSA provenance attestations. If this tool breaks, no
Kubernetes release ships. Over the past few weeks, we rewrote its core from

- Introducing Node Readiness Controller3 February 2026, 2:00 am
In the standard Kubernetes model, a node’s suitability for workloads hinges on a single binary "Ready" condition. However, in modern Kubernetes environments, nodes require complex infrastructure dependencies—such as network agents, storage drivers, GPU firmware, or custom health checks—to be fully operational before they can reliably host pods.
Today, on behalf of the Kubernetes project, I am announcing the Node Readiness Controller.
This project introduces a declarative system for managi...
- New Conversion from cgroup v1 CPU Shares to v2 CPU Weight30 January 2026, 4:00 pm
I'm excited to announce the implementation of an improved conversion formula

critical issues with CPU priority allocation for Kubernetes workloads when
running on systems with cgroup v2.
Background
Kubernetes was originally designed with cgroup v1 in mind, where CPU shares
were defined simply by assigning the container's CPU requests in millicpu
form.
For example, a container requesting 1 CPU (1024m) would get (cpu.sha...

The best way to setup a kanban board is…whatever way works best for you. I have at least two distinct styles of board setup across three tools (yes, I have a problem) because that’s what works best for me. How you setup your boards is a matter of style. The most important thing is to set it up in such a way that you’ll actually use it — an unused board is full of lies and can cause confusion with your collaborators.

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

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...

dotnet-sdk
dotnet-source-built-artifacts

- 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)

- 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-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.

At the time, the state-of-the-art in Linux robotics was getting a wheeled platform to navigat...
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS vs. macOS 26 Tahoe: The Free OS That Rivals a Premium Experience6 April 2026, 10:04 am
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. I’m neck-deep in the Apple ecosystem — iPhone, Apple Watch Ultra, AirPods, the whole cult membership. But last year, Apple released macOS Tahoe with its Liquid Glass redesign, and I found myself wondering: has the free operating system actually gotten *better* than the premium one?Short ans...

- 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...

Since 2014, I’ve been talking about bitcoin here (read: Is Bitcoin The Next Open-source Software Revolution?, Best Bitcoin Applications for Linux). Back then, bitcoin was still very much in its infancy and our articles about it were some of the least popular posts we’ve ever had. 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. Today, bitcoin and cryptocurrenc...
