Earlier this month I looked at the AMD RDNA 3.5 graphics with Strix Point between Windows 11 and Ubuntu 25.04 Linux. The testing showed the AMD RDNA 3.5 graphics on the open-source Linux driver up to around 96% the performance of Radeon Software on Windows. The most frequent question that came up from that most recent round of benchmarking was wondering how the Intel Xe2 graphics on Core Ultra Series 2 "Lunar Lake" now compares between Windows 11 and Linux given that both drivers have been maturing the past several months. Here's the story of the Xe2 graphics between Windows 11 and Ubuntu 25.04 while using a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition laptop.

T2 is an open-source system development environment (or distribution build kit if you are more familiar with that term). T2 allows the creation of custom distributions with bleeding-edge technology. Currently, the Linux kernel is normally used, but the project is expanding to Hurd, OpenDarwin and OpenBSD. T2 started as a community driven fork from the ROCK Linux Project with the aim to create a decentralised development and a clean framework for spin-off projects and customised distributions.

Being worked on for a while now by engineers from Amazon, Microsoft, and Google has been Kexec HandOver "KHO" as a means of allowing some kernel state to be retained when Kexec'ing into a new kernel such as for maintenance/security updates. The KHO patches in recent days were queued up into Andrew Morton's "MM" staging area leading to hope that this work is ready for mainlining with the Linux 6.16 kernel cycle this summer...

Drum roll your desks to help build some suspense because the Ubuntu 25.10 codename has been confirmed as …’Questing Quokka’. —Oh wait; I put in the headline so you already knew! As expected, the new Ubuntu codename keeps to convention, following on in alphabetical order—the previous release begins (it’s not out yet) with a ‘P’—and using a cute adjective and animal combo. Now, Canonical had teased the supposed new codename of Ubuntu 25.10 a few weeks back when it tweeted (or whatever the equivalent term is called on X) “Quizzical Quokka”. Except, it did that on April 1, aka April […]

ArcoLinux (previously known as ArchMerge) is a distribution based on Arch Linux. The development takes places in three branches - ArcoLinux, ArcoLinuxD and ArcoLinuxB. ArcoLinux is a full-featured distribution that ships with the Xfce desktop (as well as Openbox and i3 window managers). ArcoLinuxD is a minimal distribution that includes scripts that enable power users to install any desktop and application. ArcoLinuxB is a project that gives users the power to build custom distributions, while also developing several community editions with pre-configured desktops, such as Awesome, bspwm, Budgie, Cinnamon, Deepin, GNOME, MATE and KDE Plasma. ArcoLinux also provides various video tutorials as it places strong focus on learning and acquiring Linux skills.
