Marcin Juszkiewicz ☛ Two years of AArch64 features table
Architecture updates are present on a market. More and more SoC vendors go for newer designs instead of staying in the past. Most of those cases are mobile phones. Cloud systems also moved to the new designs as we have Arm Neoverse-V2 based instances available at several places.

Richard W.M. Jones: Benchmarking RISC-V SpaceMIT X60 and others
I recently received 4 Milk-V Jupiter development boards, and one Banana Pi F3 through RISC-V International. All of these boards have the same (or very similar) SpaceMIT X60 SoC which is a fairly capable 8 core RISC-V processor.

Adam Williamson: AdamW's Debugging Adventures: Inadvertent Extreme Optimization
It's time for that rarest of events: a blog post! And it's another debugging adventure. Settle in, folks!
Recently I got interested in improving the time it takes to do a full compose of Fedora. This is when we start from just the packages and a few other inputs (basically image recipes and package groups), and produce a set of repositories and boot trees and images and all that stuff. For a long time this took somewhere between 5 and 10 hours. Recently we've managed to get it down to 3-4, then I figured out a change which has got it under 3 hours.

Help Shape Debian 13: Cast Your Vote for Trixie's Desktop Artwork
Exciting times are ahead for Debian 13 “Trixie,” which is due out sometime mid-next year. While the official freeze dates haven’t been announced just yet, preparations are moving forward.
As part of the development cycle, the Debian community is invited to decide on the desktop artwork that will define the look of the next major release. This is an opportunity for you to help choose what greets you every time you log in to Trixie.
In light of this, several artists have submitted their work, each with its unique flair and story.
Among the submissions, we have “Mirage,” which explores the boundary between urban dreams and reality; “Trixie Tracks,” with a clean, minimalist theme featuring Trixie’s colors; and “Desert Moonrise,” which captures a starry, moonlit night.
