The Luckfox Lyra PLC is a compact Linux-based programmable logic controller built around the Rockchip RK3506B processor. The DIN-rail system provides dual 100Mbps Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, industrial serial interfaces, CAN, relay outputs, and a 1.9-inch touchscreen.
Seeed Studio’s reComputer Classic J5011 and J5012 are a pair of AI development systems based on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin modules. The reComputer Classic J5011 uses the 32GB AGX Orin module, while the J5012 steps up to the 64GB version. Both systems are intended as direct replacements for NVIDIA’s Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit while retaining compatibility with its peripheral ecosystem.

As reported last month, TUXEDO Computers is currently working on rebasing its Ubuntu-based TUXEDO OS on Debian Testing, ditching Ubuntu altogether. The Debian-based TUXEDO OS will still use the KDE Plasma desktop environment tweaked by TUXEDO Computers, so users won’t notice any visible change.

The biggest change in GIMP 3.4 is a new project file format by default, which follows a more common “zipped XML” structure, supports multi-page and animation features, and enables faster saving by only updating parts of the file instead of the whole project every time. The binary XCF format will still be supported.
