OpenSUSE ☛ Leap, Tumbleweed Get Makeovers
For two of openSUSE’s most notable Linux distributions, there is an updated logo and new digital wallpaper themes that feature beloved chameleons that represent the community projects.
[...]The community’s role in shaping the new look of Leap 16 and Tumbleweed didn’t stop at design suggestions. The branding team announced a photo competition inviting users to submit high-resolution photographs featuring chameleons or objects resembling the mascot. This competition is open until Nov. 1 and encourages users to submit original, landscape-oriented images through the branding repository.
Submissions are already rolling in, with some stunning entries showcasing natural landscapes that align with the day and night wallpaper themes.
To learn more about the wallpaper development process and contribute to the conversation, visit github.com/openSUSE/branding.
Leap 15.6 started to use a new logo. Logos for openSUSE distributions and flavors can be found in the project’s distribution-logos repository.
The last update for Tumbleweed’s wallpaper happened in 2018 and Leap’s wallpaper changed in 2022 with version 15.4.

The Record ☛ Kremlin-linked hackers target Ukraine’s state, military agencies in new espionage campaign

APT29, also known as Cozy Bear, BlueBravo and Midnight Blizzard, is allegedly housed within Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).

Tom's Hardware ☛ Z890 motherboards are having instability issues with Windows 11 24H2 — BIOS updates or disable iGPUd required to update Windows
This issue has been narrowed down to users of Intel Core Ultra 200S series CPUs since those CPUs still have integrated Iris Xe-LPG graphics that are apparently playing badly with this update. While desktop users are less likely to rely on integrated graphics than laptop users, it's still problematic for Intel to have such a major issue with its integrated graphics plaguing customers during Arrow Lake launch week.
