New desktop Hyprland
Hyprland is our first desktop that we could actually install with Wayland.
Gradually these desktops will get better.
Virtualbox and Nvidia drivers spoil the fun.

Tor Browser 16.0 is based on Firefox 153 and inherits its redesigned settings.
The ongoing development of Tor Browser is made possible thanks to the support of our community. Every donation helps power the tools that let people browse freely and privately. Consider joining thousands of others who have already made a small contribution towards building a better internet for everyone.
Keeping the Internet open, connected, and secure takes more than technology. It depends on informed, committed voices from every corner of society who understand how the Internet works and who are empowered to take part in the discussions that determine how it operates and evolves.

The Nano Pro Gen15 is a compact Linux mini PC powered by Intel’s Core Ultra X7 358H processor with integrated Arc B390 graphics. Developed by TUXEDO Computers, the system supports up to 128GB of DDR5 memory, dual NVMe SSDs, four 4K displays, and dual 2.5GbE connectivity. It can be used for software development, local AI workloads, and home server applications.
Australian company Rapid Analysis has launched a new Kickstarter campaign for its Xerxes Home Lab platform, featuring updated carrier boards for Raspberry Pi Compute Modules and NVIDIA Jetson systems. The lineup includes the Xerxes Pi 2026, Xerxes Nano, and an RK3566-based compute module, targeting home servers, embedded systems, and local AI applications.
Collabora has announced two developments for open-source Arm Mali GPU support, with its Rust-based Kraid compiler becoming the default for newer Mali architectures in Mesa 27.0 and the Tyr kernel driver reaching a firmware-boot milestone in Linux 7.3. The updates improve shader compilation efficiency while advancing Rust-based GPU driver development in the Linux kernel.
DietPi v10.8 introduces a dedicated WireGuard management utility, named software package identifiers, and an updated HAProxy installation package. The October release also improves network configuration, expands storage device support on Quartz64 platforms, and addresses several bugs affecting system management and applications.
The Espressif ESP-Mosaico is an expandable smart-interaction development kit based on the ESP32-S31 microcontroller. The compact device integrates a 2.16-inch square touch display, audio hardware, motion and magnetic sensors, NAND storage, haptic feedback and dual expansion interfaces for HMI, edge voice and multimedia applications.
Coming only a week after Shelly 3.1.9, the Shelly 3.1.10 continues to improve AUR builds by discovering and installing build dependencies before the prepare() function runs, including when an AUR package needs other AUR packages to build.
Based on the Mozilla Firefox 153 ESR (Extended Support Release) series, the Tor Browser 16.0 release introduces native support for 64-bit ARM (AArch64) machines on Linux, such as Raspberry Pis and Apple Silicon Macs, and a complete redesign of the Settings page based on a parallel redesign shipped in Firefox in June.
While common tools like iperf3 measure raw data throughput between two machines, fireperf addresses a different but equally important question for firewalls and routers: how many new connections per second can the device handle, and how well does it manage them over time?
The TUXEDO Nano Pro Gen15 palm-sized mini computer features an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H (Panther Lake) processor with 16 cores and 16 threads, and Intel Arc B390 integrated graphics supporting up to 4 displays at the same time, up to 128 GB of DDR5 RAM, and up to 10 TB of NVMe PCIe 5.0 SSD storage.
Coming three weeks after LibreOffice 26.8.1, the LibreOffice 26.8.2 update is packed with bug fixes for various issues, crashes, and other annoyances reported by users, focusing on improving stability, multimedia playback, and compatibility with legacy file formats.
Coming only a week after PipeWire 1.6.10, the PipeWire 1.6.11 release further improves Bluetooth support by backporting some security fixes, as well as improving handling of multiple concurrent profile registrations and some allocation errors.
Coming four months after Armbian Imager 2.0, the Armbian Imager 2.5 release introduces a guided setup flow for first-boot profiles that walks you through network, user, language, time zone, and sign-in options one step at a time, with your answers collected in a summary column beside the questions.
After a dormant period following a 2023 developer preview, Canonical has assembled a dedicated, cross-functional team to restart development of Ubuntu Core Desktop. The goal? A safer, more resilient Linux desktop built entirely on Snaps, from the bootloader and kernel all the way up to your apps.
Meet Thelio Prime, a new mini Linux PC from System76 that features an AMD Ryzen 9000 Series processor with AMD Radeon integrated graphics, or a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX or AMD Radeon 9060 XT graphics card. It also comes with up to 96 GB dual-channel DDR5 RAM and up to 8 TB M.2 PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD drives.
Coming two weeks after Mesa 26.2.5, the Mesa 26.2.6 release brings fixes to AMD’s RADV Vulkan driver by addressing a VMA heap size error in the descriptor sets allocator, two memory leaks when pool entry allocation fails, and a stack size overwrite on partial ray tracing cache hits.
