Tux Machines is now 20 years and 2 weeks old. 2 weeks ago we started inflating balloons and arranging foods, alerting friends and colleagues etc.
Today we finally have some photos uploaded. █
Do you waddle the waddle?
NVIDIA 580.82.07 is a small update that only adds support for NVIDIA Smooth Motion on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, fixes a regression introduced in NVIDIA 580.65.06 that could cause Vulkan apps to hang on Wayland, and fixes a bug that caused /sys/class/drm/…/enabled to always report “disabled” for NVIDIA GPU connectors.
Arch Linux 2025.09.01 was released yesterday as the first Arch Linux live ISO snapshot powered by the latest and greatest Linux 6.16 kernel series, which should significantly boost hardware support when installing Arch Linux on newer computers. Arch Linux 2025.09.01 also shipped with the Archinstall 3.0.9 installer by default.
OpenSSL 3.6 promises LMS signature verification support as per [SP 800-208] in both the FIPS and default providers, and support for EVP_SKEY opaque symmetric key objects to the key derivation and key exchange provider methods via EVP_KDF_CTX_set_SKEY(), EVP_KDF_derive_SKEY(), and EVP_PKEY_derive_SKEY() functions.
It’s been more than two months since the previous development release, and the new GIMP 3.2 development release brings even more goodies, including support for link layers and vector layers for non-destructive editing. While link layers allow you to link external image files as a layer in your project, vector layers let you create a shape and set its fill and stroke properties.
Arch Linux 2025.09.01 is out today as the first Arch Linux ISO release to be powered by Linux kernel 6.16, which should give users a boost when detecting hardware, especially on newer devices, but especially on older ones where previous Arch Linux ISOs failed to detect some of the components.
I would like to thank everyone who sent us donations; your generosity is greatly appreciated. I also want to thank all of you for your continued support by commenting, liking, sharing, and boosting the articles, following us on social media, and, last but not least, sending us feedback.
While still in alpha stage, AerynOS 2025.08 brings some updated components, including the latest GNOME 48.4 desktop environment, which is still the default for the live ISO. If you don’t like GNOME, you can install AerynOS with the latest KDE Plasma 6.4 desktop environment or with System76’s Cosmic Alpha 7.
This version includes important security updates to Firefox.
Around the world, our 130 chapters and special interest groups work locally, regionally, and globally to keep the Internet a force for good: open, globally connected, secure, and trustworthy. Each month, we provide a brief overview of just some of the things they have achieved in the previous month.
The UP TWL AI Dev Kit is offered as a cost-efficient platform for power-sensitive projects. It is powered by the Intel Processor N150 (Twin Lake) and emphasizes accessibility for early-stage experimentation and lightweight applications.
The RP2040 provides dual Arm Cortex-M0+ processors with 264 KB of SRAM, while the W5500 manages the TCP/IP stack in hardware, simplifying design and ensuring stable Ethernet operation.
The kit is based on the nRF54L15-QFAA, which integrates a 128 MHz Arm Cortex-M33 processor and a 128 MHz RISC-V coprocessor. It includes 1.5 MB of non-volatile memory and 256 KB of RAM. Wireless support covers Bluetooth LE 6.0, Thread, Matter, Zigbee, NFC, IEEE 802.15.4-2020 and proprietary 2.4 GHz protocols.
Processor support extends to Core Ultra 9, 7, and 5 models with integrated Intel Xe graphics. HDMI 2.1 provides 8K/60 Hz output, DisplayPort 1.4a supports 4K/60 Hz, and USB-C with DisplayPort/USB4 enables a third independent display. An optional VGA connector can replace one COM port for legacy compatibility.
The Allwinner T527 has been seen in recent products this year such as the Cubie A5E and the Orange Pi 4A. This SoC combines an octa-core Cortex-A55 cluster in a DynamIQ big.LITTLE configuration clocked up to 1.8 GHz.
This system is functionally identical to the MINIX Elite EU715-AI introduced in April, except that it features the Intel Core Ultra 5 Processor 125H, a 64-bit chip combining CPU cores, integrated Intel Arc graphics, and a Neural Processing Unit.
