Do you waddle the waddle?
Just like PorteuX 2.2, the PorteuX 2.3 release is still powered by the Linux 6.16 kernel series, but it now ships with the brand-new GNOME 49 desktop environment, which also includes a new terminal emulator application called Ptyxis. So if you want to use GNOME 49 on Slackware, you can download PorteuX right now.
Highlights of GNOME 49 include a new “Do Not Disturb” toggle in Quick Settings, a dedicated Accessibility menu in the login screen, support for handling unknown power profiles in the Quick Settings menu, HDR brightness controls, support for passive screen casts, and support for async keyboard map settings.
Based on the latest Debian 13 “Trixie” operating system series, the beta version of the upcoming Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) 7 release is powered by the long-term supported Linux 6.12 LTS kernel series and features the Cinnamon 6.4.12 desktop environment.
Mozilla Thunderbird 143 is here to fix a startup crash, another crash that occurred when importing email, a UI hang when adding a new email account, a folder restoring issue when changing to a new drafts folder and then back, and an issue where the menu bar was hidden after updating from Thunderbird 128 ESR to Thunderbird 140 ESR.
Firefox 144 is yet another small update that only promises to strengthen the encryption used for the logins saved in the Firefox Password Manager using a more modern encryption scheme by switching from 3DES-CBC to AES-256-CBC.
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.
This version includes important security updates to Firefox.
The F28E12x devices integrate TI’s C28x digital signal processor core with advanced control peripherals and analog subsystems, enabling fast execution of Field-Oriented Control algorithms (FOC). With sensorless FOC running at electrical frequencies up to 2 kHz, designers can reach motor speeds of over 120,000 rpm.
The IOTA is powered by an Intel Processor N150, a quad-core chip with a boost frequency of 3.6 GHz, compared to the 1.92 GHz Intel Atom x5-Z8350 in the V1.
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.
