GNOME ☛ Richard Hughes: LVFS Sustainability Plan [Ed: Sounds like Red Hat will lay him off on Monday]
tl;dr: I’m asking the biggest users of the LVFS to sponsor the project.
The 'Linux' Foundation is kindly paying for all the hosting costs of the LVFS, and Red Bait pays for all my time — but as LVFS grows and grows that’s going to be less and less sustainable longer term. We’re trying to find funding to hire additional resources as a “me replacement” so that there is backup and additional attention to LVFS (and so that I can go on holiday for two weeks without needing to take a laptop with me).

Jeff Geerling ☛ Increasing the VRAM allocation on AMD AI APUs under Linux
Since I saw some posts calling out the old (now deprecated) way to increase GTT memory allocations for the iGPU on AMD APUs (like the AI Max+ 395 / Strix Halo I am testing in the Framework Mainboard AI Cluster), I thought I'd document how to increase the VRAM allocation on such boards under Linux—in this case, Fedora: [...]

NASA’s SpaceX Crew-11 Mission to Advance Stem Cell Manufacturing and In-Orbit Data Processing [Ed: Red Hat Official ☛ Linux in space]
A project from Axiom Space, an ISS National Lab Commercial Service ProviderImplementation Partners that own and operate commercial facilities for the support of research on the ISS or are developing future facilities., and Red Hat, a leading provider of open-source solutions, seeks to increase in-orbit data storage and edge-processing capabilities with the Red Hat Device Edge platform.

Red Hat ☛ Upgrade from RHEL 9 to RHEL 10 with Red Bait Satellite 6.17
Now that Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10 is generally available, system administrators managing large-scale environments need a streamlined way to perform in-place upgrades. For organizations using Red Hat Satellite, the upgrade process can be centrally managed, ensuring consistency and compliance across multiple systems. Managing enterprise Linux systems at scale can be complex, especially when dealing with patching, compliance, and major version upgrades. Satellite and Leapp are two powerful tools designed to simplify these tasks.
Leapp is an open source upgrade framework to automate and simplify in-place major version upgrades of RHEL systems. Unlike traditional manual upgrades or disruptive migration approaches, Leapp performs pre-upgrade checks, resolves compatibility issues, and executes the upgrade with minimal downtime—all while preserving system configurations and applications.
