Working on the kernel can be a challenging task but, for many, configuring a kernel build can be the largest obstacle to getting started. The kernel has thousands of configuration options; many of those, if set incorrectly, will result in a kernel that does not work on the...

KDE contributor Nate Graham recently wrote about the KDE Project's plans for Plasma's X11 session. He notes that the project will continue to ensure that Plasma 'continues to compile and deploy on X11' and isn't horribly broken. Major regressions will probably be fixed,...
The postmarketOS project, which creates a Linux distribution for mobile devices, announced it was working on adding a version with systemd last March. That day has arrived with the announcement of version 25.06: We considered supporting an upgrade from OpenRC to systemd in...
Adrian Vovk, a GNOME contributor and member of its release team, recently announced in a blog post that GNOME would be adding new dependencies on systemd, and soon. The idea is to shed GNOME's homegrown service manager in favor of using systemd, and to improve GNOME's...
The Collabora blog has a summary, written by Nicolas Dufresne, about the Linux Media Summit held on May 13 in Nice, France. It was co-located with the Embedded Recipes conference and had sessions on stateless video encoders, camera support, staging drivers, memory...

Linus has released 6.16-rc3 for testing. 'So rc2 was smaller than usual, but rc3 seems to be right in the usual ballpark for this time, so everything looks entirely normal.'

The Linux kernel is seeing a steady accumulation of Rust code. As it becomes more prevalent, maintainers may want to know how to read, review, and test the Rust code that relates to their areas of expertise. Just as kernel C code is different from user-space C code, so too...
A new filesystem was the topic of a session led by Zach Brown at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF). The ngnfs filesystem is not a 'next generation' NFS, as might be guessed from the name; Brown said that he did not think about...
Debian's long-awaited tag2upload service is now ready for Debian maintainers to use in some circumstances. Tag2upload makes it easier for maintainers to upload packages, by allowing them to push a signed Git commit that will automatically be picked up and built, instead of...

Asterinas is a new Linux-ABI-compatible kernel project written in Rust, based on what the authors call a 'framekernel architecture'. The project overlaps somewhat with the goals of the Rust for Linux project, but approaches the problem space from a different direction by...

The POSIX realtime model, which is implemented in the Linux kernel, can ensure that a realtime process obtains the CPU time it needs to get its job done. It can be less effective, though, when there are multiple realtime processes competing for the available CPU resources....
The Lustre filesystem has a long history, some of which intersects with Linux. It was added to the staging tree in 2013, but was bounced out of staging in 2018, due to a lack of progress and a development model that was incompatible with the kernel's. Lustre may be working...
The KDE Project has announced the Plasma 6.4 release. New features include more flexible tiling features, improvements to the Spectacle screen capture utility, a number of accessibility enhancements, and much more. See the changelog for a complete list of new features,...
