📰 $99 BeaglePlay Board Achieves "100% Open-Source" Upstream PowerVR Graphics
Going back many years Imagination PowerVR graphics were widely despised by open-source enthusiasts and Linux desktop users for their lack of an open-source GPU driver. But over the past few years the Imagination PowerVR driver focused on their Rogue graphics IP has matured nicely within the Linux kernel and the PowerVR Vulkan driver in Mesa taking shape too.

📰 An Early Run With Ubuntu 26.04 On AMD EPYC Turin - The Current Performance Gains Over Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
There still are several months to go until the official Ubuntu 26.04 LTS release -- including one month until the feature freeze and the future Linux 6.20~7.0 kernel is expected to land too before the latter kernel freeze in early April. But for those curious how Ubuntu 26.04 is looking so far for servers, here are some very early benchmarks of it on AMD EPYC 9005 "Turin" in its present development state.

📰 Using a modern fork of this 90s Linux desktop was a nostalgic nightmare
Ever since I went full-time with Linux about nine months ago, I've had a soft spot for KDE Plasma. In fact, I'd even go so far as to claim that KDE's desktop environment and tools were a big reason as to why I didn't bounce back onto Windows. I think if I would have gone back to Windows if I was stuck with GNOME as my daily driver. I really don't like it.
