For Linux users, VirtualBox 7.2 brings initial support for the upcoming Linux 6.17 and Linux 6.16 kernel series on both hosts and guests, improved Linux Guest Additions support for Oracle Linux 10 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 guests, as well as improved handling of the vboxvideo kernel module in the init script for Linux guests.
Dubbed “The Seven Sisters”, SparkyLinux 8.0 is based on and fully compatible with Debian 13 “Trixie”, it’s powered by the long-term supported Linux 6.12 LTS kernel series, and includes all packages updated from the stable Debian and SparkyLinux repositories as of August 13th, 2025.
KDE Gear 25.08 introduces two search engines to the Dolphin file manager to help you find that specific, but elusive file or folder you can’t locate, along with support for opening Filelight directly from the Tools menu and more options for the View Mode switching button.
The CM1 integrates a Rockchip RK3506J SoC with a tri-core Arm Cortex-A7 CPU cluster and a single-core Cortex-M0 for real-time control tasks. Graphics processing is handled by a 2D hardware acceleration engine. Memory options include 256 MB or 512 MB DDR3L RAM and 256 MB or 512 MB NAND flash, with microSD expansion support.
The modules are designed for lower power consumption compared to Raspberry Pi CM4 and CM5, with support for low power states and wake events such as Wake-on-LAN, Wake-on-IR/IO/CEC, and Wake-on-Camera/Display. Wireless connectivity is not included on the module, with RF modules intended to be paired via SDIO.
The Genio 700 features a dual-core Arm Cortex-A78 at 2.2 GHz, a hexa-core Arm Cortex-A55 at 2.0 GHz, and an Arm Mali-G57 MC3 GPU, delivering up to 4 TOPS of AI performance.
The DE25-Standard development kit for the Altera University Program features the Intel Agilex 5 SoC FPGA with 138K logic elements, delivering up to 2.5× higher performance than previous generations. Combining high-performance FPGA fabric with an ARM-based hard processor system, it supports a broad range of digital logic, embedded systems, and robotics applications.
