Red Hat's performance team is now shipping TuneD 2.26 as the latest feature release for this tuning profile delivery mechanism for Linux systems to monitor and adaptively adjust the power/performance characteristics of different system components and more.

TuneD supports profiles to adjust different power/performance characteristics depending upon the common use-cases or alternatively fully-customized configurations as well. Plus monitoring via the TuneD daemon in looking out for any changes.

With TuneD 2.26 there are various tuned-ppd adjustments, fixing instance

Meson 1.9 released this weekend as the newest feature update to this build system / build automation tool that works well across different software platforms. With Meson 1.9 there is enhanced Rust support, introducing Swift and C++ code interoperability, and other enhancements to this increasingly used alternative to the likes of CMake and Autotools.

With Meson 1.9 there is a new experimental option of "rust_dynamic_std" to allow linking Rust programs so they use a dynamic library for the Rust libstd. On

The Open Platform for Enterprise AI "OPEA" that is a sub-project of the Linux Foundation and backed by a wide variety of different organizations to provide open solutions for Generative AI announced today their newest GenAI code examples.

OPEA 1.4 is now available to provide the latest Generative AI Examples that work on hardware/software from multiple vendors and leveraging open-source. New agent capabilities in OPEA 1.4 include model context protocol (MCP) support and a deep research agent. OPEA 1.4 also introduces

The upcoming Linux 6.18 kernel will begin upstreaming hardware enablement for the ASPEED AST2700 as the next-gen baseboard management controller "BMC" that will likely appear in the majority of future generation servers.

It's already been six years since the AST2600 support began hitting the upstream Linux kernel and now preparations are getting underway for its successor with the AST2700 BMC. ASPEED began showing off the next-gen AST2700 earlier in the year

The Linux Foundation used Open-Source Summit Europe 2025 happening in Amsterdam to announce the formation of the Developer Relations Foundation "DRF". Separately, they also announced from Amsterdam that DocumentDB has joined the Linux Foundation.

Linux 6.17 is one step closer to release with Linus Torvalds having issued Linux 6.17-rc3 already today to currently traveling in Europe.

Linux 6.17-rc3 is out a few hours early today. This week brought HP Victus 16-r1000 gaming laptop fan and thermal profile support alongside various other fixes. For the most part it was routine bug/regression fixes for the week with not too much else standing out.

Popular Arch Linux based distribution CachyOS is out today with its August 2025 ISO refresh.

CachyOS with a focus on enhanced stability is now installing the Linux LTS kernel out-of-the-box as a kernel fallback on new systems even if running the latest upstream kernel. The CachyOS ISO media is also defaulting to using the LTS kernel rather than the latest stable kernel.

The CachyOS ISO refresh also now adds the Wayland-based Niri compositor as a new option when using the online installation method for this Linux

It's wild to think that the ARM Cortex-A72 was already announced ten years ago as the ARM core design that went on to appear in the Raspberry Pi 4, AWS Graviton server processor, and various other SoCs. ARM Cortex-A72 based hardware remains in widespread use and finally by the end of 2025 there will be a mainline Error Detection And Correction "EDAC" driver in the mainline Linux kernel for this core.
