Linux 6.19: 40% Speed Boost on Old AMD GPUs & Faster Ext4
Linus Torvalds has released Linux 6.19, moving legacy AMD Radeon GPUs to the modern amdgpu driver and enabling larger block sizes in ext4 for improved storage performance. The AMD driver switch brings native Vulkan support to Radeon R9 290 and HD 7000 series GPUs, while the ext4 filesystem breaks the 4KB page size limit to improve write operations by up to 50%. Linus delayed the release of 6.19 by a week, so this kernel benefited from an extended eight-week development cycle. It will not be the kernel version Ubuntu 26.04 LTS uses (that’ll be the next one, Linux 7.0), but Ubuntu users […]

Линус Торвальдс подтвердил, что следующим ядром станет Linux 7.0.
После выпуска стабильной версии Linux 6.19 Линус Торвальдс, как обычно, сделал объявление о релизе. В частности, он официально подтвердил, что следующей версией ядра станет Linux 7.0, преемник Linux 6.19.
Линус Торвальдс написал в анонсе релиза Linux 6.19:У меня более трёх десятков запросов на слияние, когда откроется окно для слияния веток - спасибо всем мейнтейнерам. И, как уже многие поняли, я начинаю путаться в больших числах (у меня почти не хватает пальцев на руках и ногах), поэтому следующее ядро будет называться 7.0.Итак, завтра стартует цикл обновления ядра Linux 7.0. Процесс слияния изменений в Linux 7.0 продлится следующие две недели. Стабильная версия Linux 7.0 выйдет в середине апреля, и эта версия ядра также войдет в состав Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.

📰 AppManager is a Gear Lever alternative with a macOS aesthetic, and it just hit version 3.0.0
When I first started using Linux, I had no idea why people used AppImages. Fortunately, after I learned that they're essentially just EXE files, they became more useful; then, when I discovered Gear Lever, I started to prefer using the AppImage over, say, a Flatpak or a proper installation.

Scan OpenClaw agent skills for security vulnerabilities with the Cisco AI Skill Scanner
OpenClaw, previously known as Clawdbot and briefly as Moltbot, is a free, open‑source personal AI agent that runs locally on your computer, enabling you to automate any task a human can perform on a computer. It gained rapid popularity, accumulating 100,000 GitHub stars in record time, along with tens of thousands of forks as it went viral. OpenClaw skills pose severe security risks because they are unvetted modules that may contain hidden, malicious instructions for the agent's model. These harmful instructions could result in API key leaks, data theft, credential compromise, and system breaches due to malicious code execution. This guide covers OpenClaw skill structure, known security incidents, and step-by-step instructions for scanning agent skills with the Cisco AI Skill Scanner. The Cisco AI Skill Scanner provides comprehensive security analysis of OpenClaw agent skills before installation, detecting malware, data exfiltration, and prompt-injection vulnerabilities.
