I heard rumors about KDE Linux in the past, but I never thought the KDE Project would put so much effort into creating its own distro, especially since we already have KDE neon, which, in my opinion, does a tremendous job at providing the community with access to the latest and upcoming KDE software.
Debian 13.1 is here less than a month after Debian 13, providing an updated installation media to those who want to deploy the latest Debian Trixie operating system on new hardware and who had issues with the previous ISO images or don’t want to download hundreds of updates from the repositories after the installation.
Coming two weeks after Calibre 8.9, the Calibre 8.10 release is here with improvements to the Kindle MTP driver by fixing an issue where APNX files are being placed in the wrong location when books are sent to subfolders inside the root folder.
The GNOME 49 Release Candidate has some interesting changes, especially the re-enablement of X11 support in the GNOME Display Manager (GDM) component by default as the devs find it hard to cleanly separate GDM’s ability to launch modern X11 sessions. X11 support was disabled in the GNOME 49 alpha release.
It is powered by the Stamp-S3A core module based on the ESP32-S3FN8 dual-core Xtensa LX7 processor, running at up to 240 MHz with 8 MB of flash storage. A microSD card slot provides additional storage for applications and data, and an infrared emitter is included for remote-control functions.
The AV-USB provides three full-size USB-A ports via an onboard hub, along with a PCM5102-based stereo analog audio interface over I2S. Audio and composite video are routed through a 3.5 mm TRRS jack, restoring analog video output that on the Pi Zero 2 W was moved to a small test pad, making it easier to connect displays without soldering.
The Fing Agent has been available previously as software for Raspberry Pi, NAS, and Docker containers. The new kit, created in collaboration with Pimoroni, comes pre-assembled and pre-configured to simplify deployment.
