Raspberry Pi 6 won’t arrive before 2028 – and is skipping an NPU
The Raspberry Pi 6 is unlikely to be released until 2028 and it won’t feature an onboard NPU for AI compute when it arrives – two details shared by the company’s engineers in Reddit last week. Three Raspberry Pi engineers held an AMA (ask me anything) session on Reddit on 21 May, 2026. During it they provided some insight into their plans for the Pi 6 and when we can expect it to hit the market. Based on past launch dates, the gap between major Pi models (Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4 and 5) is around 3-4 years. The Raspberry Pi 5 […]
Sudo Apt-Get: Viktoriia’s Linux Essentials Preparation Story
Some decisions look small from the outside. You open a document, you download a file, you tell yourself, Today is the day! But sometimes that quiet moment changes everything. For me, it happened on a November morning in Warsaw. I ... Read more The post Sudo Apt-Get: Viktoriia’s Linux Essentials Preparation Story appeared first on Linux Professional Institute (LPI).

Stenberg: The pressure
Curl maintainer Daniel Stenberg writes about the stress of keeping up with the current flood of security reports. This is a never-before seen or experienced pressure on the curl project and its security team members. An avalanche of high priority work that trumps all other things in the project that is primarily mental because we certainly could ignore them all if we wanted, but we feel a responsibility, we have a conscience and we are proud about our work. We feel obliged to fix security problems in the software we have helped shipped to every device on the globe. This is personal to us. With about half the release cycle left until the pending release ships, we already have twelve confirmed vulnerabilities meaning twelve pending CVE announcements. That's a new project record and it also means we will reach thirty published CVEs in 2026 even before half the calendar year has passed. The projected total amount of curl CVEs published through the whole year is therefore at least double th
[$] Better automatic management of transparent huge pages
Huge pages can improve performance by increasing translation lookaside buffer (TLB) utilization and reducing memory-management overhead. Transparent huge pages (THPs) are supposed to make huge-page usage, well, transparent, Nico Pache said at the beginning of his session in the memory-management track of the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit. That transparency has never worked as well as many would like; he has been working on improvements to make it easier for applications to use huge pages on Linux systems. A following session, led by David Hildenbrand, was focused on how THPs could be taken away from processes that are not using them fully.
