Google this week has announced the release of KataOS as their newest operating system effort focused on embedded devices running ambient machine learning workloads. KataOS is security-minded, exclusively uses the Rust programming language, and is built atop the seL4 microkernel as its foundation.

KataOS is intended for use with the ever-growing number of smart devices with a particular emphasis on embedded hardware running machine learning applications. Given the increasing industry focus of RISC-V, that CPU architecture is a primary support focus for KataOS. Google's

MGLRU has successfully landed in Linux 6.1 as one of the best kernel innovations of the year to be mainlined. Along with that the new Maple Tree data structure was also merged.

As a follow-up to mentioning this weekend that MGLRU and Maple Tree were submitted for inclusion in Linux 6.1 by way of Andrew Morton's MM pull, overnight Linus Torvalds merged it!

Andrew Morton this afternoon submitted his memory management "MM" related updates for the Linux 6.1 merge window. Most notable with this pull request is the inclusion of Multi-Gen LRU "MGLRU" and the Maple Tree kernel features.

We'll know very soon if Linus Torvalds has any last minute objections, but barring any newfound concerns, MGLRU is set to land for Linux 6.1! MGLRU was included as part of Morton's MM pull request for this Google-developed feature that works to much

After SUSE/openSUSE engineers began talking up the Adaptable Linux Platform "ALP" as their next-gen enterprise Linux focus , last week they talked up the imminent release of "Les Droites" as their first public ALP prototype . Today that prototype is now live.

The ALP Les Droites prototype is promoted as having the following features:

- Software: Salt pre-installed and Ansible available in repositories, allowing users to configure and/or manage ALP systems in a flexible and agile manner.

- Hardware support: The architecture

OpenMandriva ROME is a rolling-release version of this Linux distribution whose roots trace back to the days of Mandriva and before that Mandrake Linux. This rolling release flavor of OpenMandriva is now up to a "gold" candidate status.

OpenMandriva ROME Gold Candidate is the latest promotion to this rolling-release spin. At the moment OpenMandriva ROME is powered by a Clang-built Linux 5.18 kernel, KDE Plasma 5.26 Beta and other "very latest" KDE components, LibreOffice 7.4.1

Mold 1.5 is out today as the newest version of this open-source, high-speed linker alternative to the likes of GNU Gold and LLVM LLD.

Developer Rui Ueyama announced Mold 1.5 today and most notable with this update is adding four new CPU targets. The new targets are PowerPC PPC64LE, SPARC64, RV32BE, and RV64BE. So now Mold can link code for old Sun/Oracle SPARC processors, RISC-V big endian, and

Earlier this year it was shared that SUSE/openSUSE is developing the Adaptable Linux Platform "ALP" for next-generation SUSE Linux Enterprise. Coming out later this week is the first public preview of openSUSE ALP.

To be released later this week is "Les Droites" as their initial public prototype of the Adaptable Linux Platform. Details are still light on all of the Adaptable Linux Platform changes, but today's openSUSE pre-announcement notes some of the big changes:

As far as “Les Droites” goes,
