Valve and Collabora Announce Official Arch Linux ARM64 Port for Steam Frame

Steam Frame uses an ARM64 processor, so Collabora, in collaboration with Valve, has been developing Holo Core as a full AArch64 port of Arch Linux intended as the base for the operating system that will power the gaming VR headset. Since Arch Linux has no official ARM64 support, Collabora had to build new tooling and CI infrastructure from scratch.

updated Jul 18, 2025

Rescuezilla 2.6.1 comes almost four months after Rescuezilla 2.6 with a new build derived from the Ubuntu 25.04 “Plucky Puffin” operating system to provide users with the best possible hardware support. Ubuntu 24.10, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS builds are still available for download.

This release also enables the Image Explorer after it was temporarily disabled in Rescuezilla 2.6, enables the Firefox web browser on the Ubuntu 24.10 build after it was temporarily excluded in Rescuezilla 2.6, adds the ability to specify NFS version, and improves touchpad support for tap-to-click and multifinger gestures.

Rescuezilla 2.6.1 Released with Ubuntu 25.04 Base

Rescuezilla, a well-known tool for disk imaging and recovery that provides a user-friendly graphical interface for performing backups, restores, and clones of hard drives and partitions, has just launched its latest version, 2.6.1.

As the headline feature, the team has added a new Ubuntu 25.04 (Plucky Puffin) base for improved support of newer hardware. Older tracks based on Ubuntu 24.10, 24.04 LTS, 22.04 LTS, 20.04 LTS, and 18.04 LTS are still available.

However, if you’ve ever encountered graphics issues during boot, the team suggests trying the “Graphical Fallback Mode” from the boot menu—or switching to the alternative ISO, which includes slightly different drivers that might resolve the issue.
