Ubuntu confirms the 26.10 codename, and it sounds strange…
Ubuntu has announced the codename for Ubuntu 26.10 is “Stonking Stingray”. As codenames go it’s certainly unique. The distro gives each release a codename that pairs an adjective with an animal, the latter of which becomes the release mascot. This tradition dates back to the first Ubuntu release in 2004 (dubbed ‘Warty Warthog’). What does the Ubuntu 26.10 codename mean? Stonking is a strange choice as it’s (to my knowledge) mainly used here in the UK as an informal term for something huge or exceptionally good. Interim (short-term) releases often use colourful codenames (Wiley Werewolf, Disco Dingo, Groovy Gorilla) so […]

Linux Kernel 6.19 Reaches End of Life: Time to Move Forward
by George Whittaker The Linux kernel continues its fast-paced release cycle, and with that comes an important milestone: Linux kernel 6.19 has officially reached end of life (EOL). For users and distributions still running this branch, it’s now time to upgrade to a newer kernel version. This isn’t unexpected, Linux 6.19 was never intended to be a long-term release, but it does serve as a reminder of how quickly non-LTS kernel branches move through their lifecycle. Official End of Support The final update in the 6.19 series, Linux 6.19.14, has been released and marked as the last maintenance version. Kernel maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman confirmed that no further updates will follow, stating that the branch is now officially end-of-life. On kernel.org, the 6.19 series is now listed as EOL, meaning it will no longer receive bug fixes or security patches. Why 6.19 Had a Short Lifespan Unlike some kernel releases, Linux 6.19 was not a long-term support (LTS) version. Short-lived kernel bran
Linux May Drop Old Network Drivers Now That AI-Driven Bug Reports Are Causing A Burden
Old network maintenance drivers are becoming a maintenance burden in the era of fuzzing and predominantly AI-driven bug detection causing an uptick in possible bug/security reports to upstream Linux kernel developers but with these drivers potentially having no actual users...
Linux users claim they want mainstream adoption, but here's why they don't
They just won't admit it
[$] Using LLMs to find Python C-extension bugs
The open-source world is currently awash in reports of LLM-discovered bugs and vulnerabilities, which makes for a lot more work for maintainers, but many of the current crop are being reported responsibly with an eye toward minimizing that impact. A recent report on an effort to systematically find bugs in Python extensions written in C has followed that approach. Hobbyist Daniel Diniz used Claude Code to find more than 500 bugs of various sorts across nearly a million lines of code in 44 extensions; he has been working with maintainers to get fixes upstream and his methodology serves as a great example of how to keep the human in the loop—and the maintainers out of burnout—when employing LLMs.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS: What’s new since 24.04?
If you plan to upgrade to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS ‘Resolute Raccoon’ from Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, you’re going to inherit two years’ worth of improvements. As an LTS-to-LTS jump, you don’t simply benefit from what’s new in Ubuntu 26.04, but everything else added in the 3 interim releases prior, namely Ubuntu 24.10, 25.04 and 25.10. Ubuntu 26.04 LTS does plenty of things that 24.04 didn’t, but drops several features too It adds up to a mammoth set of changes across the full stack, running right from the lower-level foundations up to the apps and desktop environment that run on top. Plus, […]
