Coming two weeks after Calibre 9.16, the Calibre 9.17 release improves e-book cover conversion with support for reading images in the JPEG XL format and support for CSS Level 4 selectors, and improves compression of the MOBI/AZW3/PDB Output to make conversion to these formats faster.
Shelly is a modern alternative to Arch Linux’s default package manager, supporting third-party app stores like AUR (Arch User Repository) and Flathub, as well as Flatpak, AppImage, and native Arch Linux packages. Shelly comes with both graphical and command-line interfaces.
While openSUSE continues to work on adopting Agama as the default installer for Tumbleweed, they updated the web-based installer with a web-based terminal so you can access the shell without leaving the browser, as well as an option to exit the installation at any time before the installation starts if you change your mind.
Coming a little over a month after PipeWire 1.6.9, the PipeWire 1.6.10 release fixes a potential crash in the X11 module because error handlers can be called twice, fixes a regression in the PSD rear delay upmixing code, and adds support for more output formats by letting sndfile choose the byte order.
DietPi is an ultra-lightweight, highly optimized Linux distribution based on Debian. It is designed specifically to extract maximum performance out of single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi, Odroid, Orange Pi, as well as older PCs and virtual machines.
The new Steam Client update fixes an issue on Linux where Vulkan games would hang after using Alt+Tab, address a case where the Steam updater UI would fail to show for some Linux users, fix a memory leak on Remote Play when using the NVENC encoder to stream H.264 using unlimited bandwidth from Windows PCs.

Coming two years after siduction 2024.1, the siduction 2026.1 release is based on the Debian Sid (Unstable) repositories as of October 18th, 2026, it’s powered by a customized version of Linux kernel 7.2.11, and ships with the KDE Plasma 6.7.4 (with KDE Frameworks 6.30 and KDE Gear 26.08.2) and Xfce 4.20 desktop environments.
LattePanda has announced the Sigma 2, an x86 single-board computer based on Intel’s Core Ultra X7 358H Panther Lake processor. The compact system combines up to 180 TOPS of AI performance with 64GB of LPDDR5X memory, dual 10GbE networking, and multiple expansion interfaces for local AI inference, robotics, and embedded computing applications.
Synergy Logic has launched the SLM-RP4, a UL-listed industrial edge controller based on the Raspberry Pi 4 platform. The DIN rail-mounted system integrates OpenPLC support and accommodates up to eight stackable I/O modules, providing a maximum of 128 I/O points for industrial automation, data acquisition, and IIoT applications.
ADLINK’s I-Pi OSM IMX95 is an industrial development kit based on NXP’s six-core i.MX95 processor with an integrated 2 TOPS NPU. It pairs a solder-down OSM 1.2 module with a 4-inch carrier board, offering dual Gigabit Ethernet, display connectivity, and expansion options for edge AI applications.
From mapping tools and VPNs to encrypted messaging and the challenges posed by quantum computing, the Global Encryption Day Summit 2026 brought together experts and advocates from around the world to discuss why protecting encryption is essential to protecting people.
Every day, more than 80,000 independent networks exchange traffic to keep the Internet running. They largely do this in one of two ways: by paying for IP transit to reach the rest of the Internet, or by peering directly with one another, often through an Internet exchange point (IXP).
People should not have to choose between being safe from crime and being safe online. We deserve both. Yet proposals to weaken encryption risk creating exactly that trade-off.

Here are all the latest parts of the latest series:
