And I really should, in all honesty, because it's one of the more subtle reasons why KDE Plasma is so good. It's one of those things you use on a daily basis and don't realise how much you use it until it's gone.

Big GPU & Kernel Update Headed to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

A new hardware enablement (HWE) will roll out to users on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS this month, ahead of the Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS point release due on February 12. Ubuntu’s engineers periodically backport the Linux kernel and graphics drivers included in interim releases to the current long-term support (LTS) version. The next update delivers components from Ubuntu 25.10, released in October 2025. This means the Ubuntu 24.04.4 HWE brings the Linux 6.17 kernel and Mesa 25.2.7, a sizeable leap over the 25.0.x series that was delivered in the 24.04.3 HWE update last August. New versions of Intel VAAPI driver (2.4.1), libva, […]

QEMU на пути удаления поддержки 32-разрядных хост-систем

Ричард Хендерсон (Richard Henderson), один из мэйнтейнеров проекта QEMU, занимающий второе место по числу внесённых изменений, опубликовал набор патчей, удаляющих поддержку 32-разрядных хост-систем из QEMU. Поддержка 32-разрядных хост-окружений была объявлена устаревшей в апреле прошлого года в QEMU 10.0, а в декабрьском выпуске 10.2 из генератора кода TCG (Tiny Code Generator) была удалена поддержка платформ mips32 и ppc32.
