In addition to talking about the Valve-backed open-source driver work for old AMD Radeon GPUs, Timur Kristóf also presented at the XDC2025 conference on the state of the RADV Vulkan driver. Timur was joined by Daniel Schürmann to talk about the great Linux gaming experience now possible on the RADV driver with the work done by Valve, AMD, Red Hat, Google, and the open-source community. RADV ray-tracing is much better today than in the past, the ACO compiler back-end has turned out very well, and RADV is all-around a great example of an open-source Vulkan API driver...

Last year GIMP developers expressed a goal of releasing GIMP 3.2 within one year of GIMP 3.0. With GIMP 3.0 having released in March, it looks like their GIMP 3.2 release goal will become a reality with the GIMP 3.2-RC1 debuting today...

The industrial world runs on timing and consistency. In manufacturing and operations, a predictable outcome isn't a nice-to-have; it's the core promise of the industrial system itself. Whether you're managing complex motion control or critical process loops, network communication must be reliable and predictable. Time-sensitive networking (TSN) is the essential evolution of Ethernet that brings determinism and a guaranteed delivery schedule to a standard open industrial network.But here's the reality check for information technology (IT) and operations technology (OT) leaders: TSN is great fo

Generative AI demands infrastructure that’s not only powerful but repeatable, auditable, and scalable. From chat bots and content generation to intelligent automation agents, organizations are deploying AI at scale. But with this innovation comes complexity. In short, deploying generative AI isn’t just about models, it’s about managing the infrastructure and operations behind them reliably. The Red Hat Certified Collection, amazon.ai, addresses this problem by bringing infrastructure-as-code principles to AI and operational monitoring.The problem: Manual AI management doesn’t scaleEve
