Google Chrome is (finally) coming to ARM64 Linux

13 mars 2026 à 01:07

Google Chrome web browserChrome is finally coming to ARM64 Linux devices this year, Google has announced. If you currently run Ubuntu (or another Linux distribution) on an ARM-based device like the Raspberry Pi or a Snapdragon X Elite laptop, etc, you’ve had no way to install an official Google Chrome build, only Chromium, the open-source project on which Chrome is based. The lack of an official Google Chrome ARM build for Linux has always been puzzling given that Chromium supports ARM, and lots of Chromebooks are ARM-based. Today (12 March, 2026) the confusion can end. The search giant says its proprietary browser will […]

SolydXK 13-202603

12 mars 2026 à 20:43
SolydX and SolydK are Debian-based distributions with the Xfce and KDE desktops respectively. SolydXK aims to be simple to use, providing an environment that is both stable and secure. SolydXK is an open-source alternative for small businesses, non-profit organisations and home users. The project started as an unofficial variant of Linux Mint's "Debian" edition with KDE as the default desktop, but it was later given its own identity as SolydK. SolydX was added after Linux Mint dropped its Debian-based flavour that used the Xfce desktop. The project also has a rolling release branch, called Enthusiast's Editions, which used Debian Testing as a base.

Les prix Ig Nobel quittent les États-Unis pour s’installer durablement en Europe

12 mars 2026 à 18:21

Après 35 ans de présence à Boston, la cérémonie des prix Ig Nobel (souvent abordés sur LinuxFr.org et basé sur un jeu de mot sur ignoble et Nobel), qui récompense les recherches scientifiques insolites, déménage ses activités en Europe. Les organisateurs invoquent clairement des difficultés croissantes liées aux conditions de voyage et de sécurité aux États-Unis.

bannière Improbable Research

Les futures cérémonies se dérouleront en Europe dès cette année.

La décision fait suite à un taux d'absentéisme marqué lors de l'édition 2025 : quatre lauréats sur dix ont refusé de se rendre sur le sol américain. Marc Abrahams, fondateur des prix, souligne un environnement devenu hostile pour les voyageurs étrangers. Et c'est un constat partagé par d'autres secteurs. À titre d'exemple, il cite la Game Developers Conference (aka GDC, basée à San Francisco) que de nombreux développeurs non étasuniens boycottent désormais pour des motifs similaires.

Pour le futur, Les organisateurs se sont associés au domaine des EPF (Écoles Polytechniques Fédérales) suisses et plus particulièrement à l'Université de Zurich pour assurer la continuité de l'événement. Le choix de la Suisse est motivé par sa tradition d'accueil et le fait qu'elle a donné naissance à beaucoup de bonnes choses improbables, citant la physique d'Albert Einstein, l'économie mondiale et les coucous :-)

Les Ig Nobel prévoient un retrait durable du territoire américain au profit d'un modèle rotatif inspiré du concours de l'Eurovision : les années paires, la cérémonie se déroulera à Zurich, les impaires, l'événement sera accueilli par une autre métropole européenne.

C'est clairement la fin de l'ancrage historique des prix aux USA, mais ils prévoient tout de même un petit événement trois semaines après à Boston pour célébrer localement les Ig Nobels.

NdM: improbablement sont mentionnés sur leur site un logiciel libre à propos de la différenciation du glycol diéthylène et du glycérol par le son, GNOME dans une interrogation sur Nestlé, l'eau de Phoenix, le problème de l'abri à vélos et la loi de Parkinson, un autre logiciel libre à propos de pancakes et du Kansas, Chris DiBona et un « architecte Open Source » de SCO.

Intel CPU Security Mitigation Costs From Haswell Through Panther Lake

12 mars 2026 à 16:50
Over the past month on Phoronix there have been a lot of benchmarks of Intel's new Core Ultra Series 3 "Panther Lake" with the Core Ultra X7 358H. One of the areas of Panther Lake not explored yet is around the CPU security mitigation impact, which is the focus of today's benchmarking. The performance tests today are not only looking at the impact of the Core Ultra X7 SoC at its default versus running in a "mitigations=off" configuration but also comparing the overall CPU security mitigation impact with the run-time toggle going back all the way to Intel Haswell era laptops.
