- Boot-Time Wizard Aims To Help Reduce Linux Boot Times24 May 2026, 10:39 am
While in the past decade or so Linux desktop/laptop users likely have little to complain about boot times and there hasn't been much emphasis around trying to make boot times even faster on the Linux desktop especially in an era where many systems are always-on and suspend/resume working more reliably these days, boot times are still an important factor in the embedded Linux world. Boot-Time Wizard is one of the new efforts aiming to help embedded Linux makers cut-down on their boot times......

- [$] Custom page-cache policies with BPF22 May 2026, 2:37 pm
The kernel's page cache is charged with maintaining pages (or, more
correctly, folios) containing copies of
data from files in the filesystem; its performance has a big effect on the
performance of the system as a whole. One of the key decisions the kernel
must make is when to evict folios from the page cache. At the 2026 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, Tal Zussman ran a
memory-management-track session on how the page cache could be better
customized for specific ...
- [$] 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...

- Vulnerabilities in various GTK-based PDF readers21 May 2026, 9:05 pm
Michael Catanzaro has disclosed a
command-injection vulnerability affecting a number of GTK-based PDF
readers; exploits included:
They contain a script for building malicious polyglot PDFs that are
simultaneously both valid PDF files and also valid ELF
binaries. When the user opens the PDF in the PDF viewer and clicks
on a malicious link embedded in the PDF, the PDF abuses the command
injection vulnerability to load itself as a GTK module using the
`--gtk-module` command line flag. It ca...

This kind of session has become something of a tradition. There were similar
updates in
2025 and
2024. This time around, GCC seems to be closing in on
feature parity with the LLVM toolchain — as the slides detail.

- [$] Support for private memory nodes21 May 2026, 1:22 pm
Gregory Price started his session in the memory-management track of the
2026 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit by saying that, in
current kernels, if a NUMA node has memory, the assumption is that anybody can
make use of it. He is trying to implement the opposite policy — to make
some memory off-limits for all processes except those designed specifically
to use it. The session was used to present his goals and to discuss how
they might be implemented....

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 to tighten language around attribution, copyright notices and the labelling of modified versions. Viva le fork; ...
- 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...
- Ubuntu Core 26 cuts OTA update size, enables ARM64 Livepatch20 May 2026, 8:04 pm
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...

The new tab page has a (slightly) new look and a new name in Firefox 151, the newest version of Mozilla’s famous open-source web browser that begins roll out today, May 19, 2026. Now called Firefox Home, the new tab page has a “new look and feel”, to quote Mozilla. It’s not quite that dramatic, though the rounded search bar draws from the upcoming Nova redesign with its rounded pill shape (it is also no longer sticky on scroll): Stories stay put, but the ‘follow’ topic button is now ...

- Kubernetes v1.36: Deprecation and removal of Service ExternalIPs14 May 2026, 6:35 pm
The .spec.externalIPs field for Service was an early attempt to provide
cloud-load-balancer-like functionality for non-cloud clusters.
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
.spec.externalIPs. To make that easier, Kubernetes also added an admission control...

- 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...

As an organization grows, their data doesn’t sit in one location. It spreads across the cloud platform, on-premises, third-party systems, and even on edge devices. At the same time, expectations from AI are changing, business needs real-time decisions, faster insights, ...
- How to Prevent Data Loss in C#22 May 2026, 4:30 pm
Data loss prevention is one of those capabilities that tends to get prioritized reactively, specifically after some compliance violation surfaces, or a data leak makes its way into an incident report. By then, the damage is done; we don’t have any control over the data we lost anymore. The more practical approach is to intercept sensitive data before it leaves our application, at the point where text containing PII or other regulated information is about to be transmitted or stored somewhere d...

- Why Knowing Your LLM Hallucinated Is Not Enough22 May 2026, 3:30 pm
There is a moment every developer building with LLMs knows well. The model says something wrong, completely wrong, with total confidence. You catch it. You log it. You note that a hallucination occurred. And then what?
Most teams stop there. They have a hallucination rate. They report it in evaluations. They try to push it down. But they are treating very different problems as if they were the same, which is a bit like a doctor logging "patient is sick" and calling it a diagnosis....

Agentic testing tools help teams plan, generate, adapt, and run tests with far less manual effort. They’re quickly becoming part of how modern QA scales without slowing delivery.
One thing to get right from the start is scope. Not all agentic testing tools operate at the same level of scope or strategic impact. They vary significantly in what they do and where they fit. Some are point solutions that help you author or run tests faster. Others sit inside broader AI-driven quality platforms t...

Another saturday, time for another longer form weekly recap of
what I have been up to in Fedora Infrastructure.
RHEL10 migrations
RHEL10 migrations are in full swing. Moving things we have that are
on RHEL9 over to RHEL10 with clean re-installs. Mostly this is just
pretty easy, but I did run into a few fun things:
One of our donated servers was really old and couldn't run RHEL10,
so, the provider provisioned us a new(er) one. All good, but we

Introduction Earlier this year, the community was invited to share their thoughts on a potential new initiative called “Fedora Verified“.

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

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:

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-firmware-nvidia: /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad103 exists in filesystem

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...
