Get Smoother Workspace Transitions in GNOME Shell with This Extension


If you move workspaces in GNOME Shell (Ubuntu’s default desktop) using gestures, but find workspace background sliding alongside your apps distracting, a new extension can help. Created by CleoMenezesJr (Weather O’Clock), Static Workspace Background makes — as I’m sure you’ve guessed — the background a fixed point: it stays firmly in place. As it’s not (currently) possible to set a different wallpaper on each workspace, seeing the same wallpaper, albeit segmented by a vertical bar, slide by zoetrope-style distracts from the element which is different on each virtual desktop: the apps. Static Workspace Background GNOME Shell extension (v48+) affects a […]

Ubuntu 25.10 Switches to Dracut by Default


Ubuntu’s developers have been given the green light to make Dracut default in Ubuntu 25.10, a foundational change to the way Ubuntu boots that was planned for this development cycle but had missed feature freeze. While the early stages of Ubuntu’s boot process aren’t super interesting (to most of us), this system is what brings up the standard Ubuntu desktop experience we all use. It’s important that the boot process is well-oiled, modern and works as best it can. Hence the switch to dracut in Ubuntu 25.10. With a Feature Freeze Exception granted, the change has been actioned in Ubuntu […]

В Ubuntu 25.10 по умолчанию будет задействован Dracut


В выпуске Ubuntu 25.10, релиз которого намечен на 9 октября, для формирования образов начального RAM-диска (initrd) утверждено использование по умолчанию инструментария Dracut вместо пакета initramfs-tools, развитие которого в последние годы приостановилось и ограничивается работой по сопровождению. Так как разработка выпуска 25.10 c середины августа находится на стадии заморозки, не допускающей добавления новой функциональности, для перехода на Dracut командой, отвечающей за выпуск релизов, предоставлено исключение. В настоящее время пакет initramfs-tools уже заменён на dracut в мета-пакетах.

В пакетах с ядром для openSUSE отключена поддержка BCacheFS


Разработчики openSUSE объявили об отключении файловой системы BCacheFS в пакетах с ядром Linux. В качестве причины называется присвоение данной ФС в основном ядре статуса внешнего сопровождения, подразумевающего прекращение приёма изменений для Bcachefs в основной состав ядра при сохранении данной ФС в кодовой базе ядра. Своими силами разработчики openSUSE не намерены бэкпортировать в дистрибутивный пакет с ядром патчи из ветки ядра от проекта BCacheFS.
