Today's update brings Bazzite up to Fedora 43, with new device support and under-the-hood fixes from our team. This update adds full support for the Xbox Ally, mirroring the one we have for the original Ally and Ally X units (RGB, fan curves, back buttons). For this to happen, we had to coordinate with AMD to fix sleep (as it uses the same chip as the Steam Deck), tweak the amplifier driver to drive these new amazing speakers, and fix some RGB quirks caused by the dynamic lighting feature in Windows. This support extends to the new Ally X unit as well. However, this unit features an even more powerful dual amplifier speaker setup, and we find some of you have clipping at above 80% volume. We are waiting a reply from the Texas Instruments (the company that made the amplifier) maintainers about this, so until then, exercise some restraint and stay at around 80% volume.
In the last half year the following notable Changes have been made: Introduction of several Rust based utilities with the Packaged directly from crates.io. Utilities like lsd, mergiraf, ripgrep, fd and other fancy tools. Helix Editor and IDE. (Note: there may be issues in getting LSP servers but the rust one is available). Multiple Prolog Interpreters/VM's. SunRay Maintenance work and improvements. (It's still a popular way to run Desktops for Families). CVE Fixes for OpenSSH and OpenSSL (people usually get those via updates but important to mention that we keep an eye out for them). A huge number of automated Python and Perl package updates. Availability of Python 3.14 3.13, 3.12 and also 3.9. Availability of Distributed storage offerings Seaweedfs, garage and minio. SPARC support for Zabbix-server. Librewolf 144, Firefox 144, Thunderbird 144, Fish 4.0 (the one rewritten in Rust), Libreoffice 25.8.2....
Building on the success of TrueNAS 25.04 'Fangtooth', we’re proud to release TrueNAS 25.10 'Goldeye' to deliver a powerful and user-friendly experience, cutting-edge features for enhanced performance, and simplified operations. TrueNAS 25.10 breaks free from the limitations of traditional storage protocols with NVMe over Fabric (NVMe-oF) support. NVMe-oF enables direct, high-speed access to data stored on remote arrays, effectively letting you treat storage on your TrueNAS 25.10 system as if it was a locally attached NVMe device. By removing the protocol overhead inherent in older block protocols like iSCSI and Fibre Channel, you can unlock unprecedented levels of I/O performance and significantly reduce latency. TrueNAS 25.10 integrates the latest fixes available in the OpenZFS filesystem, with a suite of substantial enhancements crucial for optimizing data management and system performance.
There are, however, a few notable user visible changes in this release. For those of you installing fresh Fedora Linux 43 Spins, you may be greeted with the new Anaconda WebUI. This was the default installer interface for Fedora Workstation 42, and now it's the default installer UI for the Spins as well. If you are a GNOME desktop user, you'll also notice that the GNOME is now Wayland-only in Fedora Linux 43. GNOME upstream has deprecated X11 support, and has disabled it as a compile time default in GNOME 49. Upstream GNOME plans to fully remove X11 support in GNOME 50. Beyond the user-visible changes, there are a couple of significant bits of plumbing that should go unnoticed for most users but are a big deal, nonetheless. Fedora Linux 43 will be the first release with RPM 6.0.
This release presents among other things the new Linux kernel 6.8.0-86, the latest upgrade of the web browser google-chrome-stable (version 141.0.7390.122-1) and the new systemd software. In addition, Starbuntu has removed a little bug in its upgrade application.
Today we officially present an improved version of Planeta Tecno OS 7. It brings many updates to performance, interface, tools (including a brand-new launch). These new features are based on the various tests I've conducted and also on the contributions made by the community through comments, reviews, information and queries via this website, the YouTube channel and our social media accounts. Therefore, this is a version that, more than ever, is based on user requests and needs. Below I'll discuss the main changes and their motivations. The first thing you notice when you log in is the new environment. For the first time, we're leaving Xfce and switching to MATE, which is, of course, quite customized. The reason for the change? There are several factors, but we can summarize them as follows: performance - the overall system speed and responsiveness are noticeable; lightness - lower RAM usage in idle mode and also when under heavy workload....

We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 7.8. This is our 59th release. We remain proud of OpenBSD's record of thirty years with only two remote holes in the default install. As in our previous releases, 7.8 provides significant improvements, including new features, in nearly all areas of the system: added support for Raspberry Pi 5 (with console on serial port); implement acpicpu(4) for arm64; on Apple variants, enter DDB when exuart(4) detects a BREAK; on arm64 and riscv64, avoid multiple threads of a process continuously faulting on a single page when pmap_enter(9) is asked to enter a mapping that already exists; make apm and hw.cpuspeed work on Snapdragon X Elite machines; fix processing of GPIO events for pin numbers less than 256 with an _EVT method, fixes power button on various ThinkPads with AMD CPUs....
The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2025/Oct/17). The Linux kernel was updated to 6.16.12-1. Partclone was updated to 0.3.38, which includes a fix for a btrfs-related issue. Added a new program, ocs-blkdev-sorter, which allows udev to create Clonezilla alias block devices in /dev/ocs-disks/. This is used by the udev rule 99-ocs-sorted-disks.rules. Added the "-uoab" option to ocs-sr and ocs-live-feed-img to support selecting Clonezilla alias block device names in the TUI. This experimental feature addresses the random ordering of kernel block devices and can currently only be enabled via a command-line parameter. Improved the performance of ocs-get-dev-info. Improved ocs-blk-dev-info to ensure 'jq' works correctly in some cases and to increase efficiency. Added ocs-cmd-screen-sample, which can be used with the "run again" script. It works with screen, tmux, and the console.
