Variscite has introduced the DART-MX91 System on Module, a compact and cost-effective solution within the DART Pin2Pin family, targeting edge devices for IoT, smart cities, industrial applications, and more.
The EMP-100 is a compact, fanless mini PC built for versatile applications, including digital signage, industrial control, and retail environments. Designed with an aluminum chassis and VESA mounting support, it provides silent performance, dual 4K display support, and storage expansion via an M.2 2280 slot.
The Radxa X4L, also known as the Palmshell SLiM X4L, is a compact device powered by Intel’s quad-core N100 processor. With features like a 2.5GbE LAN port, Wi-Fi 6E, and dual 4K@30Hz display support, it’s well-suited for multimedia and general-purpose use.
This tutorial will help you using silver, metallic theme "Oxygen" that was popular in the era of KDE 4 on the modern Kubuntu 22.04 "Jammy Jellyfish". In short, we will use Elarun as wallpaper and Oxygen as the rest of the whole themes including application style, colors, icons, Plasma style, and splash screen. All in all, we want to offer the best visual experience we had in the past to new generation of Kubuntu users as well as the long time users themselves especially those who appreciate nostalgia. Finally, we hope you will enjoy this!
The Anaconda WebUI installer was initially planned for the Fedora Linux 39 release, but it was delayed as it needed more work. Now, the Fedora Project aims to ship it with next year’s Fedora Linux 42 release as the default installer for the flagship Fedora Workstation edition featuring the GNOME desktop environment.
The last Steam Client update brought a bunch of changes to improve Linux gaming for native titles by implementing support for executing native Linux game titles in the Steam for Linux runtime 1.0 (scout) by default rather than of the legacy runtime environment. The new Steam Client update fixes an issue where native Linux titles could occasionally run in the wrong runtime.
PeaZip 10.1 is here only two weeks after PeaZip 10 and updates the backend to Pea 1.21, which introduces scrypt KDF as the default option instead of PBKDF2 to improve resilience to password-guessing attacks. This change alone increases the memory cost up to 1GB per instance. KDF was supported since Pea 1.5.
DXVK 2.5 is here one and a half months after DXVK 2.4.1 to improve memory management for God of War and other video games by periodically performing memory defragmentation to return some unused memory to the system. However, this feature is currently disabled on Intel’s ANV Vulkan driver.
