📰 Ubuntu’s ‘Myna’ AI lets you talk instead of type – but how does it work
As you will know, Ubuntu is adding AI features this year, and Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth hopes the distro will become the OS for the ‘agentic’ era. But big ambitions begin with a small seed, and the first is planted is a speech-to-text tool dubbed Myna. Name: Myna. Age: Minus 4 months (it’ll debut in Ubuntu 26.10, out in October). Appearance: A keyboard shortcut you press to avoid using your keyboard for typing.

📰 Fedora 45 Looks To Finally Offer Install Support For Stratis Storage
Ever since RHEL deprecated their short-lived Btrfs plans, Red Hat engineers over the past decade have been developing Stratis Storage as their storage management solution leveraging XFS, LUKS, DM, and their Rust-based daemon. While Stratis Storage has been available in Fedora Linux going all the way back to Fedora 28, until now there hasn't been the option of using it for the root file-system on new Fedora installations.

📰 Some of my smart devices were sneaking around my Pi-hole, and blocking them was easier than I thought
When I implemented Pi-hole on my home network, I thought of it as a set-and-forget thing, as most of the community discussion suggested. I installed Pi-hole on my home Debian server, added a couple of reputable blocklists, and set it as a default DNS on my dual-WAN gateway. And for a while, it really did seem like the job was done. Ads disappeared, obvious trackers filtered out, and the dashboard showed me thousands of blocked queries.

📰 AMD's new CPU core type just got unlocked on Linux before it was even announced
If you've ever poked around your computer or laptop's power plans, you'll know that your hardware can be fine-tuned to use as much or as little power as you'd like. Normally, you can choose between an emphasis on power and a focus on conserving energy. However, Intel has introduced a third option called the Low Power Efficient cores that saves battery on background tasks and idle states.
