Back in March, Martin Wimpress stepped down as the longtime Ubuntu MATE leader and was looking for contributors to keep this Ubuntu derivative going with its GNOME2-derived desktop. That change in leadership paired with no Ubuntu MATE 26.04 release having occurred led to some concerns among users, but the plan is still for Ubuntu MATE to continue moving forward...

I've used Linux for 30 years - 4 frustrations remain, including 2 that may push me to MacOS  Yahoo Tech

Over the past year, the conversation around artificial intelligence has undergone a massive evolution, shifting from isolated pilots or experiments with standalone tools. For leaders, the true challenge—and the ultimate prize—lies in building a fully AI-enabled enterprise. This means moving beyond experimentation into true operationalization, creating a scalable framework where AI drives both front-office revenue growth and back-office efficiency.At Red Hat, we are approaching this transformation with a dual mandate. First, we are focused on building enterprise-grade AI products and platfo

Red Hat Summit demonstration booth featuring a model train track, edge computing hardware, monitoring displays, and supporting infrastructure used to demonstrate AI-driven automation at the edge.Many AI demos stop at detection. A dashboard highlights an object, a model produces a classification, or a graph updates in real time. Those are valuable building blocks, but operational environments often require something more immediate—systems that can react locally, autonomously, and in near time.Using the Red Hat edge portfolio, we set out to explore what happens when AI moves beyond observatio

The theme for TM Forum Digital Transformation World (DTW) Ignite 2026 in Copenhagen is "The Future. Faster."

Telecommunications (telco) networks now support the most critical infrastructure—from remote healthcare and smart utility grids to national defense and emergency response. The transition from "telco to techco" means that they’re delivering the intelligent foundations that power a global digital economy.However, this increased reliance on the network brings a

Why I installed Linux on an old laptop instead of a Raspberry Pi  How-To Geek

Last week I ran benchmarks of CachyOS with the BORE scheduler using its "linux-cachyos-bore" kernel option. The results didn't end up being as enticing as anticipated but the developer behind the BORE scheduler commented in the forums that he recently received reports from users experiencing game stuttering while using BORE that was attributed to CachyOS' default use of Ananicy-Cpp. So over the weekend I did another CachyOS BORE run without that CachyOS default...
