Summary
This week, Aptivi went through a big milestone since the huge rebrand back in February 2026 by releasing Nitrocid 0.2.1, Terminaux 8.9, and MediaBoom 1.0, the latter of which was a completely new project. Alongside that, we wrote two guides: fixing the Ubuntu proot-distro upgrade that caused core system utilities to break due to Rust coreutils, and configuring Trusted Publishing with NuGet and GitHub Actions.
In the other hand, Samsung started rolling out One UI 9.0 for the global units of the Galaxy Tab S11, as well as the Korean version of the Galaxy Tab S10. Samsung had also officially declared that the Galaxy Tab S12 receive quarterly security patches, as usual. Finally, Linux 7.4 became available as the first release candidate, and FreeBSD 15.2 became available as the first beta version.
