📰 AMD ISP4 Driver Updated As It Nears The Mainline Linux Kernel

Posted today to the Linux kernel mailing list was the patch series for introducing the AMD ISP4 driver to the mainline kernel. This supports the image signal processor IP that to date is found with HP's Strix Halo powered ZBook Ultra G1a laptop.

SuperTuxKart’s Stable Release Pitstop Opens Up potential


Fans of iconic open-source racing game SuperTuxKart will have noticed that the upcoming 1.5 release is taking its sweet time to reach the finish line, having hit beta in late 2024 and release candidate status in spring 2025 – with no progress since. Now, in an update on the official development blog, we know why: inter-team turbulence. In any group-based effort — not exclusive to open-source projects, though more keenly felt in them as internal structures for mitigating disagreements are more informal — clashes in priorities, plans, and personalities are not uncommon, and can put the brakes on progress. And […]

Ubuntu 25.10 Snapshot 4 is Available to Download


Ahoy, brave testers — the fourth and final monthly snapshot of Ubuntu 25.10 (Questing Quokka) is available for download. As you (hopefully) know by now, these new Ubuntu monthly snapshot releases are the result of a new automated build process Canonical is testing this cycle. The goal is to create a system needing ‘little to no human intervention’ to generate valid, working ISOs, faster. As part of the pipeline, a transparent process by which distortion developers can add test routines to try and catch bugs and major issues earlier in the release cycle than at present, where show-stopping issues tend […]

Firefox’s On-Device AI Features are Now Up to 10x Faster


Mozilla has acknowledged that its Firefox AI Runtime — the on-device engine powering features like Smart Tab Groups and alt-text generation — was “not quite at the speed we wanted.” Translation: it was slow, and users noticed. So, in typically un-Mozilla fashion, it’s done something about it. Over the past few months, engineers have replaced the WebAssembly (WASM) build of Microsoft’s ONNX Runtime which powers Firefox’s Transformers.js-based features with a native C++ version that is built into the browser’s codebase. Early benchmarks show “from 2 to 10× faster inference” with the new native backend, and it loses the WASM warm-up […]
