Opera GX is Coming to Linux
A Linux version of Opera GX is in the works, according to a tweet posted to the official X account. The company announced the plans via a snarky post linking to news article on Microsoft adding an AI sidebar to Windows 11’s file manager, writing: “Is this a good time to announce that we are working on the Linux version of Opera GX?”. As good a time as any, I’d say. Opera GX isn’t New Opera GX is a gaming-centric version of the regular Opera web browser that pairs the web with a variety of gaming related extras, like Razer […]
Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 Brings Gen AI to Raspberry Pi 5
A new version of the Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ has been released with enough grunt to run popular generative AI (GenAI) models, including Qwen and DeepSeek. The first generation Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ add-ons were designed for on-device acceleration of vision-based neural network models, but wasn’t powerful enough to run more generalised large-language models (LLMs) – something the new AI HAT+ 2 solves. Described as the company’s “first AI product designed to fill the generative AI gap”, the Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 packs in a Hailo-10H NPU with 40 TOPS (INT4) of inferencing performance and is paired with 8GB […]
Orion Web Browser for Linux Sees Alpha Release
An alpha release of Orion for Linux, a Webkit-based web browser developed by the search engine Kagi is out for testing – though only for paid Orion+ subscribers. Not a subscriber? Don’t worry; an Orion for Linux beta release is reportedly coming as early as next month (February) to allow people who registered their interest in the Linux launch via a newsletter signup to help test it. Announcement of announcements aside, Kagi recently shared a progress update on how Orion’s Linux build is shaping up. I’ll get to what’s been added in a moment, but first I want to recap […]
Ubuntu 26.04 Sees ‘Mass Rebuild’ of All Packages in the Archive – But Why?
If you run Ubuntu 26.04 development builds as your daily driver and have noticed a glut of updates in recent days, don’t get excited: there aren’t reams of new features heading your way – at least, not ones you can see. Ubuntu engineers recently began a “mass rebuild of all source packages”, re-compiling them from scratch to ensure that they have the right tooling and hardware compatibility features enabled. This wholesale task ensures that the majority of apps, libraries and tools spanning the entire resolute archive are using the distro’s preferred baselines where applicable – yup, even those dusty libraries […]
Linux Mint 22.3 Released with New App Menu, OSK & System Apps
Linux Mint 22.3 “Zena” is now available for download, bringing with it a redesigned Mint Menu, a pair of new system apps, and an expanded set of search options in the Nemo file manager. This is the fourth and final major update in the Linux Mint 22 series, building on the myriad of changes Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara” delivered last September. Like those, this release is based on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS and inherits the same foundational goodies. You get Linux 6.14 kernel and Mesa 25.0 out-of-the-box (though a new Ubuntu HWE with Linux 6.17 and Mesa 25.2 will be available to […]
Wine 11.0 Release Brings Ntsync Support, Complete WoW64 + More
Wine 11.0, the latest stable release of the open-source compatibility layer that allows Windows games and apps to run on Linux and macOS, has been released. The annual release rounds off another year of development effort, with two standout features: ntsync kernel module support for improved performance, and a fully mature WoW64 mode that now handles 16-bit applications (among other changes). All of these changes were available to sample in the bi-weekly Wine development releases. If you kept pace with those builds throughout last year, the majority of what’s new in Wine 11.0 won’t surprise you. For everyone else, let’s […]
Firefox 147 Arrives with XDG Support on Linux, Auto-PiP + More
Firefox 147 released with XDG directory support ending a 20-year Linux bug, auto Picture-in-Picture, better AMD video performance, and new web standards.
Big GPU & Kernel Update Headed to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
A new hardware enablement (HWE) will roll out to users on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS this month, ahead of the Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS point release due on February 12. Ubuntu’s engineers periodically backport the Linux kernel and graphics drivers included in interim releases to the current long-term support (LTS) version. The next update delivers components from Ubuntu 25.10, released in October 2025. This means the Ubuntu 24.04.4 HWE brings the Linux 6.17 kernel and Mesa 25.2.7, a sizeable leap over the 25.0.x series that was delivered in the 24.04.3 HWE update last August. New versions of Intel VAAPI driver (2.4.1), libva, […]
Ubuntu’s ARM64 Steam Snap Delivers Solid Gaming Performance

Ubuntu 25.04 Support Ends Next Week (Jan 15th)
Support for Ubuntu 25.04 ‘Plucky Puffin’ officially ends on 15th January 2026 – which is next week, for those of you reading this before the fact. Beyond this date, Ubuntu 25.04 receives no further security updates or bug fixes, no matter how critical they are. At least, not from Canonical. Third-party apps and repos could continue to provide updates for a short while after, but time is ticking. How many people will this affect? While there aren’t stats on how many people use each Ubuntu version, but Ubuntu 25.10 was released last October so it has been out for around […]
CrowView Note, the All-in-One Portable Monitor Laptop, Gets Upgrades
In the market for a dumb laptop? No—I don’t mean one of those gobbledygook brands on Amazon powered by weak-sauce Intel Celeron processors forever listed at 90% off pretend RRPs. No, I’m talking about a laptop that… Isn’t a laptop at all. The CrowView Note 15.6 from Elecrow is a portable monitor in the form of a laptop. It has a keyboard, touchpad, speakers, USB ports and an internal battery. If you’ve been around tech a while you’ll recall the NexDock pioneered this concept. There’s no CPU, RAM, HDD/SDD or web cam; you bring the brains by connecting your phone, […]
Bazaar (Desktop Flathub App) Gets Considered Updates
If you use Flathub on Ubuntu you likely already use (or at least know of) Bazaar, a GTK4/libadwaita frontend that makes it trivial to search, manage and update Flatpak apps from this popular repo. Bazaar gets updated frequently (I’ve covered some updates in my monthly Linux App Release Roundup series). In the past few weeks the app has been update with further improvements, features and design tweaks. Chief among them, a new app icon. I know everyone cares about icons as much as I do, but a well designed icon with a clear metaphor (and, ideally, some colour to keep […]
Dell XPS with Ubuntu Option Due Soon
Dell has announced the return of its XPS laptop line at CES 2026, introducing redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch models, the former of which will be available to buy pre-loaded with Ubuntu later this year. The tech company retired the XPS branding in last January as part of a marketing revamp of its product lines. Inspiron, Latitude, and Precision devices became “Dell,” “Dell Pro,” and “Dell Pro Max” respectively, while XPS models were re-badged “Dell Premium”. But you can’t keep a good brand down for long, and the XPS has returned — with some notable design changes in tow. The company […]
