The new Raspberry Pi OS release (2025-12-04) introduces the ability to safely eject HDD and NVMe drives connected via USB, adds an Alt+F2 keyboard shortcut for opening the run dialog in the Labwc-based Wayland session, and improves the Screens control panel to no longer create a default kanshi config file when started.
Powered by the latest and greatest Linux kernel 6.18 LTS, Alpine Linux 3.23 introduces support for the latest GNOME 49, KDE Plasma 6.5, and LXQt 2.3 desktop environments, as well as support for the Sway 1.11 tiling Wayland compositor and a drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager for X11.
Coming after Wireshark 4.6.1, the Wireshark 4.6.2 release is here to update support for the ATM PW, COSEM, COTP, DECT NR+, DMP, Fc00, GTP, HTTP3, IEEE 802.15.4, ISIS HELLO, ISOBUS, MAC-LTE, MAUSB, MEGACO, MPEG DSM-CC, OsmoTRXD, PTP, RLC, SAPDIAG, and SMTP protocols.
Linux kernel 6.18 was released at the end of November 2025 with new features like support for the Rust Binder driver, a new dm-pcache device-mapper target to enable persistent memory as a cache for slower block devices, and a new microcode= command-line option to control the microcode loader’s behavior on x86 platforms.
Originally released on November 24th, 2019, the long-term supported (LTS) Linux 5.4 kernel series received six years of support, from November 2019 until December 2025. The last maintenance update is Linux 5.4.302, released today by renowned kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman.

The kit integrates NVIDIA’s Jetson Orin NX which includes a six-core Arm Cortex A78AE processor operating at 2 GHz and an Ampere based GPU with 1024 CUDA cores and 32 Tensor Cores.
The ST67W611M1 modules combine Qualcomm’s connectivity platform with the STM32 development ecosystem. They operate as external wireless coprocessors, with an STM32 MCU running the main application while the ST67W611M1 handles radio functions. The series supports WiFi 6 in the 2.4 GHz band, Bluetooth LE 5.4, and software based enablement for Matter over WiFi in late 2025 and Thread in mid 2026.
The Badger model is an updated version of the e-paper badge released four years ago according to Pimoroni. It features a 2.7 inch greyscale e-paper panel with a resolution of 264 by 176 pixels. The device uses the RP2350 microcontroller paired with 16 MB of flash and 8 MB of PSRAM.
Switzerland-based MetaComputing has announced a new ARM-based AI PC designed for the Framework Laptop 13 ecosystem.
