Powered by the upcoming Linux 6.17 kernel series, the Fedora Linux 43 beta ships with the soon-to-be-released GNOME 49 desktop environment for the flagship Fedora Workstation edition, as well as the latest KDE Plasma 6.4 desktop environment on the Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop edition.
The CUDA toolkit provides developers with a parallel computing platform and programming model that uses NVIDIA GPUs for general-purpose processing. Until now, developers had to download CUDA from the NVIDIA website to install it on Ubuntu, but soon that will no longer be the case.
Firefox 143 is yet another small update that only brings a couple of new features, one of them being the ability to preview when a website asks for camera access in the permission dialog, which may come in handy when switching between multiple cameras.

The GB10 Superchip combines a 20-core Arm v9.2 CPU with an integrated Blackwell GPU and fifth-generation Tensor Cores, supporting FP4 precision for efficient AI inferencing. The chip delivers up to 1,000 TOPS (1 petaFLOP) of AI performance, paired with 128 GB of LPDDR5x coherent unified memory. ASUS notes that this configuration enables handling of AI models with up to 200 billion parameters, with the ability to fine-tune models around 70 billion parameters locally.
The board integrates the MediaTek Genio 700 (MT8390) at up to 2.2 GHz or the Genio 510 (MT8370) at 2.0 GHz, combining dual Cortex-A78 and hexa Cortex-A55 cores with a shared 2 MB L3 cache. It is paired with 4GB or 8GB of LPDDR4-4000 memory and 64GB or 128GB of onboard eMMC 5.1 storage, eliminating the need for external memory modules and improving system reliability.
