Debian's Bananas team has put out a call for people with Apple M1 or M2 systems to help test Debian on those machines: The Bananas Team has set up an installer at with images for GNOME, KDE and console installations. While we'd like to build an actual Debian installer...
The Netdev Foundation, which is 'a user-led effort under the supervision of the Linux Foundation, focused on financially supporting Linux networking development', has announced its existence. The initial motivation was to move the NIPA testing outside of Meta, so that more ...
Every release of the Linux kernel has lots of new features, many of which are accessible from user space. Usually, though, the GNU C Library (glibc) and tools that access the Linux user-space API lag behind the kernel releases. Geoffrey Thomas showed how Python programs can...
The copyleft-next project is an effort to develop a next-generation copyleft license; it was covered here back in 2013 (as well as in 2015 and 2021). The project has stalled in recent years, but now Richard Fontana and Bradley Kuhn have announced a new effort to push...

Version 5.0 of the GNU Health Hospital Information System has been released. This project, working to support medical offices, shows just how far the free-software effort can reach. Changes in this release include improved reporting and analytics, more comprehensive handling ...
Transparent huge pages (THPs) are, theoretically, supposed to allow processes to benefit from larger page sizes without changes to their code. This does work, but the performance impacts from THPs are not always a benefit, so system administrators with specific knowledge of...
The extensible scheduler class ('sched_ext') allows the loading of a custom CPU scheduler into the kernel as a set of BPF functions; it was merged for the 6.12 kernel release. Since then, sched_ext has enabled a wide range of experimentation with scheduling algorithms. At...
The OsmAnd map and navigation app project recently celebrated its 15th anniversary. All these 15 years can be roughly divided into three stages. For the first five years, we built the very basic functionality—offline maps and navigation that just worked. Over the next...

A change proposal to end support for 32-bit x86 (i686) applications on the x86_64 architecture with the Fedora 44 release has been withdrawn after significant pushback. As proposed, the change could have had a significant impact on gamers, compiler development, and the...

In 2023, Fujita Tomonori wrote a Rust version of the existing driver for the Asix AX88796B embedded Ethernet controller. At slightly more than 100 lines, it's about as simple as a driver can be, and therefore is a useful touchstone for the differences between writing Rust...
The history of the bcachefs filesystem in the kernel has been turbulent, most recently with Linus Torvalds refusing a pull request for the 6.16-rc3 release. Torvalds has now pulled the code in question, but also said: I think we'll be parting ways in the 6.17 merge window. ...
Kernel versions 6.15.4, 6.12.35, 6.6.95, 6.1.142, 5.15.186, 5.10.239, and 5.4.295 have all been released.

Over on the Collabora blog, Tathagata Roy has an update on the progress of targeting the Coccinelle tool for matching and transforming source code to Rust. The Coccinelle for Rust project, which we covered in a 2024 talk by Roy at Kangrejos, is adding the ability to...
