Ubuntu’s New Telemetry Tool ‘Phones Home’ Monthly
Changes are afoot for Ubuntu’s opt-in, anonymous system telemetry gathering , including greater transparency with the open-sourcing of the server it’s sent to. Ubuntu 25.10 introduced Ubuntu Insights, a newer, more modern hardware metrics reporting service that is preinstalled alongside the distro’s existing Ubuntu Report tool. The former is used by those who upgrade to 25.10, the latter on new installs. With 26.04 LTS coming, Canonical would like to make Insights the default for all users, including those coming from versions with Ubuntu Report (i.e., Ubuntu 24.04 LTS), and re-seek consent. Telemetry makes folks twitchy so, lest anyone brandishes a […]

Thunderbird 146 Update Migrates Logins to AES + More
MZLA Technologies Corporation has released Thunderbird 146, the latest monthly update for its famed open-source email client. Changes this month may sound less flashy compared to last month, which saw Thunderbird 145 add Microsoft Exchange support (albeit with some caveats, carveouts and a couple of capabilities still be added). Plus, work on readying Thunderbird Pro, the paid-for subnoscription-based webmail, appointment and file sending service excepted to cost upwards of $9/m, for a soft-launch continues. Those services are about to enter community testing. What’s New in Thunderbird 146? MZLA say logins are migrated to a more modern AES encryption standard in […]

Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS Released with New COSMIC Desktop
Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS is available for download, the first version of the Ubuntu-based Linux distribution to use System76’s all-new Rust-based COSMIC desktop environment. It’s been a “long ride” to get here (building an entirely new Linux desktop, compositor, widget toolkit, and suite of first-party apps is no mean feat). System76 announced plans to build COSMIC in 2021, and a series of alpha and beta builds followed. Now, it’s out in orbit, joining the constellation of Linux distros (cheesy, eh). Talkin of the milestone Carl Richell, Founder and CEO of System76, says the company is “proud of this contribution to the […]
