In addition to AMDGPU finally seeing HDMI 2.1 FRL support in Linux 7.2, another change worth noting in this week's AMDGPU pull request is the continued work on enhancing the AMDGPU/AMDKFD kernel driver support for non-4K page size kernel builds. In particular this helps out with AMD graphics and ROCm for the likes of ARM and POWER...

EGLStreams was NVIDIA's original route to supporting Wayland with their official Linux graphics driver stack. Adoption was limited and driver vendors outside of NVIDIA didn't end up going with EGLStreams/EGLDevice. Thankfully, NVIDIA corrected course long ago with DMA-BUF, GBM, and KMS support that aligns with the rest of the ecosystem, and now that old code path is being removed from GNOME Mutter...

Earlier this week I ran benchmarks of different CachyOS Linux kernel flavors that proved interesting from the performance overhead of their hardened kernel build to various other interesting performancr takeaways. One kernel flavor I hadn't tested though was their build with the BORE scheduler. Given the interest and feedback from Phoronix readers, here is an article focused on looking at the performance of the BORE scheduler for the Linux kernel on CachyOS.

It's no secret that IT operations is a complex area. Teams face demanding workloads, where many tasks have to be completed quickly. Objectives typically focus on smooth and resilient operations, and enabling fast innovation to support organizational needs. In their distinct role, security teams must manage risk and compliance, respond quickly to incidents, protect data, and govern access. All these priorities must be simultaneously met, and this leaves the ITOps and SecOps teams searching for the best ways to collaborate. In this article, This article provides an overview of how Red Hat Ansibl

Amazon Linux 2 reaches end of life (EOL) on June 30, 2026. If your migration isn't already underway, the window to move deliberately rather than reactively is narrowing. Migrating business-critical workloads to a supported operating system (OS) takes real time. Legacy runtimes, compliance requirements, and limited change windows all affect how quickly you can move.When evaluating your next steps, don't just ask “What do we migrate to?” Consider what kind of long-term Linux strategy you want to build. How you answer that question will shape not just this migration, but how smoothly your inf
