Almost three years after Mageia 9, Mageia 10 is finally here. Key features: Kernel 6.18, Mesa 26.0, X.Org 21.1, Wayland. 32-bit: requires a processor with SSE2, support is limited. Design: new high-resolution wallpapers (up to 4K) in JXL format. Installation: time zone prompt at the beginning (for proper signature verification), Wi-Fi support (since beta), improved […]
Fenris Creations, formerly known as CCP Games, has open-sourced Carbon, its proprietary engine that powers EVE Online and EVE Frontier. Carbon's official website describes it as a cross-platform framework for creating large virtual worlds, where key components can be explored, used, and further developed by the community. Rather than a single demo module, a set of CARBON Engine repositories has been released […]
Developers Ubuntu We reverted to the GNU Coreutils version of the cp utility after discovering an incompatibility in the Rust Coreutils implementation of cp, which caused the Live image build script (livecd-rootfs) to fail. In the release Ubuntu On 24.04, due to discovered vulnerabilities, the cp, mv, and rm utilities from GNU Coreutils were returned, but in the coreutils-from-uutils 0.0.0~ package updateubuntu26 was resumed […]
Greg Kroah-Hartman, responsible for maintaining the stable and staging branches of the kernel Linux, reported that in the first 6 months of 2026 in the core Linux 2308 vulnerabilities were identified and assigned separate CVE identifiers. Thus, the kernel Linux rose from second to first place in the number of assigned CVE identifiers among software vendors. This indicator is not objective, since […]
The Fedora Project Governing Board (Fedora Council) has announced the suspension of the Community Initiatives process, which was created to implement large, long-term projects within the distribution that do not fit within the six-month Fedora release cycle. LinuxCommunity Initiatives was intended to channel community efforts toward the implementation of big ideas and to secure the necessary resources and support from the governing board. […]
Vulnerabilities (CVE not assigned) have been identified in the Guix package manager in the implementation of the internal "guix substitute" command, which is automatically invoked by the guix-daemon background process during package installations. The command is used to download pre-built binary packages from external servers and verify their integrity using a digital signature. The most severe vulnerability allows remote code execution on a user's system […]
Erin Catto, the author of the Box2D project, announced the creation of a new physics simulation engine, Box3D, which is a fork of Box2D with an identical architecture, but redesigned and expanded for use in 3D games. The project's code is written in C and distributed under the MIT license. Compilation for Linux, Windows и macOSThe Box3D engine was created in […]
During the porting of the cryptsetup-suspend toolkit to NixOS, a bug was discovered in the LUKS disk encryption subsystem (Linux Unified Key Setup), due to which, starting from the kernel Linux 6.9 (the problematic commit), released in May 2024, stopped clearing encryption keys from RAM when the system went into suspend mode. The cryptsetup-suspend tool is used in Debian for automatic blocking […]
Qualcomm has unveiled Linux-Qualcomm distribution Linux 2.0, which provides a software stack optimized for Qualcomm's Dragonwing IoT platforms. The project implements a unified distribution that enables rapid development of solutions for various Qualcomm SoCs, such as the QCS5430, QCS6490, IQ-8275, IQ-9075, and IQ-615. Qualcomm uses the Dragonwing platform as its foundation. Linux The toolkit and meta-packages from the Yocto and OpenEmbedded projects are used, supplemented by patches, drivers, firmware, packages […]
OpenWrt 25.12.5, a minor release of the distribution developed for network devices such as routers, switches, and access points, has been released. OpenWrt supports over 2200 devices and offers a build system that simplifies cross-compilation and the creation of custom builds. These builds allow you to create ready-made firmware with the desired set of pre-installed packages, optimized for specific tasks. Ready-to-use builds have been published for 41 target platforms. Among […]
In the Fedora release Linux 45, scheduled for fall 2026, plans to enable shadow stack protection by default on x86_64 systems to block exploits that overwrite the return address of functions in the event of a stack buffer overflow. This protection will be enabled for all applications and libraries compiled using the gcc (C, C++), clang (C, C++), and […]
The release of the lightweight is presented Linux-ArchBang 010726 distribution, based on Arch's developments Linux and provides a user interface based on the MangoWM composite manager. The distribution offers a continuous update cycle, allowing you to always work with the latest versions of programs from the Arch repositories. LinuxThe ISO image size is 1.4 GB. The new version switches to the lightweight MangoWM composite manager by default […]
