A while ago, I installed the Debian operating system, mainly for the GNOME desktop environment. For me, it’s by far the best I’ve ever used. The concept is brilliant, but it felt rather limited – I didn’t think there were many options. It wasn’t until today that I realised that’s the intention. There are add-ons available, and I can customise and enhance the environment however I like. I’m really enjoying it. Sometimes it’s worth reading the manual before you start using something.

We are living a life you cannot imagine.💔

It's not just the war and the destruction. It's the small, crushing details: fleas and insects that never leave our bodies or our children's. Food we dream about but can't find. Nights that pass without safety or dignity.😞

My friend Omar and his family live this reality every single day. They're not asking for luxury — they're asking for the basic right to live.🙏🏻

Every donation, no matter how small, brings Omar and his family one step closer to safety.🙏🏻

I always heard that it was better for a computer to never be turned-off. What do you think ?

Are there any experts here who can discuss the recent claim by IBM, that IBM's Quantum Computer has done work that is difficult for a classical computer ?

How do we resolve the (seeming) paradox that some skilled workers report wonderful results from their work with AI, while others are full of dire warnings about the lurking defects in their AI-assisted outputs? Simple: the first group are "centaurs" (humans who are assisted by machines) and the second are "reverse centaurs"

Linux 7.2 RC7 released!

After the release of Linux 7.1, which brought many features and improvements across different portions of the Linux kernel, such as hardware support and other improvements, an upcoming version of Linux is in the works.

Linux 7.2 RC6 is now live for developers and power users who are willing to try out a pre-release version of Linux that is yet to be released. All the interesting changes from performance improvements to bug fixes have been integrated to this release candidate, including, but not limited to:

• PCIe devices should not inadvertently reduce its speed to 2.5 GT/s
• Improved performance for AMD EPYC Sorano
• Added support for Wacom W9000 pen-enabled touchscreen
• Dropped ancient PROFIBUS driver ported from SCO Unix
• Bug fixes and minor improvements made to NTFS3 driver
• Startup overhead has been reduced for RISC-V
• USB4STREAM has been added to quickly send data between USB4 connected devices
• Preparations for NVIDIA Blackwell-Next devices
• Networking improvements and support for Wi-Fi 8 (UHR)
• Apple M3 systems can now boot to Linux 7.2
• AppleTalk protocol support has been dropped
• Various bug fixes and general improvements

The below announcement from Linus Torvalds in the mailing list says:

Another week, another -rc.

I can't say that I'm exactly thrilled about the size of this all, but it is what it is: the new normal with a lot of fixes, many of them due to review by various AI tools.

And nothing looks particularly scary per se - it's just that there's a lot here. Most of it is fairly small, although we have a couple of larger diffs: s390/zcrypt fixes stand out in the diffstat, and so does btrfs bringing back the fixup worker infrastructure. And some netfilter ipset fixes.

But aside from a few places like that, most of this is just lots of tiny fixes. It's pretty much spread all over - drivers (gpu, sound, networking, you name it), filesystems, core networking, arch code..

I don't currently see any value in delaying the 7.2 release, so I would expect that to happen next weekend unless something really bad pops up.

Linux v7.2 will be the third version from the v7.x series that will be released after Linux 7.1, which will bring many improvements and additions to enhance your user experience.

Arch Linux and other distributions will be updated to utilize Linux 7.2 once it officially releases to the public, with rolling distros being updated first, then the subsequent distributions will utilize this version of Linux according to the distro’s release schedule. Meanwhile, keep checking for updates in your Linux distro (such as pacman -Syu as root in Arch Linux), or compile it from source.

Please note that, if you’re going to try out this pre-release version of Linux, be sure that it might contain more bugs than the final release, as it’s an experimental version not intended for production use. We advise you to back up all critical data before you utilize this version.
