Ventoy 1.1.16 Released: Secure Boot Fixes, UEFI Patches, and iVentoy Announcement

Software 44499 Published 2026-06-25 18:59 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Ventoy has rolled out another update to patch boot hangs with disabled Secure Boot, fix a Kicksecure failure, and correct a VentoyPlugson toggle reset bug. Users must manually enroll a new Secure Boot certificate key upon first boot, as the project shifted its certificate authority starting with version 1.1.14. These releases also address compatibility issues with older UEFI firmware implementations and resolve the VTOY_WIN_UEFI_RES_LOCK reset issue. Beyond the standard updates, the team highlights iVentoy, a new network PXE server tool that enables OS deployment over a LAN from almost any computer or Raspberry Pi.

Dell XPS 14, Star Fox Switch 2, Gigabyte X870E, Google Home Speaker, and TerraMaster NAS Reviews

Reviews 52673 Published 2026-06-25 07:24 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Here is a roundup of today's reviews. Dell finally shipped the XPS 14, and as of right now, it brings back that premium chassis with a Tandem OLED panel that genuinely feels years ahead of the competition. Star Fox runs at sixty frames per second on the Switch title, and that feels solid enough. Testers remember early handheld consoles from 2018, where battery degradation was brutal, but this new hardware sidesteps that old pain entirely. That hardware patience pays off, though the new Gigabyte X870E motherboard still costs considerably more than six hundred dollars, and for what it's worth, the Google Home speaker handles Gemini conversations smoothly alongside a TerraMaster NAS that ships with OpenClaw AI tools right out of the box.

Liquorix Kernel 7.0.15 Released: Freeze Fix, Scheduler Swaps, and Lower Latency

Debian 10966 Ubuntu 7130 Arch Linux 970 Published 2026-06-25 07:04 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Liquorix Kernel 7.0.15 is live, built on the Linux 7.0.13 base to deliver targeted latency improvements and a critical hard freeze fix. The release abandons the mq-deadline block scheduler in favor of kyber and bfq, while cutting CPU timeslices down to 2ms for tighter interactivity. Liquorix also disables split-lock detection and adjusts virtual memory watermarks to smooth out latency spikes during demanding workloads. You can grab the updated kernel immediately using their automated curl installer, which pushes fresh binaries to Debian, Ubuntu, and Archl Linux within hours of the release.

MySQL, libxml2, Perl, FFmpeg updates for Ubuntu

Ubuntu 7130 Published 2026-06-25 06:47 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Ubuntu released security updates for MySQL, libxml2, Perl, and FFmpeg. These fixes address serious bugs that let unauthenticated attackers crash databases or run malicious code by exploiting TLS handling, XML parsing errors, symlink manipulation, and memory management issues across multiple affected packages. libxml2 crashes remain a risk on 22.04 and 24.04 systems, where that DTD parsing bug might feel buried in the logs but can still let code slip through. Older Perl installations still need the Archive::Tar and regex patches to prevent file overwrites or heap overflows, and running a standard system update now closes these doors before remote exploitation becomes possible.

Libmatio, PostgreSQL 13, cloud-init, yelp, and libhttp-daemon-perl updates for Debian

Debian 10966 Published 2026-06-25 06:29 by Philipp Esselbach 0

As of right now, Debian maintains a steady stream of emergency patches, and this latest batch tackles roughly six distinct vulnerabilities across major Linux packages. Longtime system watchers notice a familiar pattern of technical debt piling up across database tools, yet administrators must return to prioritizing this specific upgrade before the next wave of exploits surfaces. Roughly equivalent trouble waits in cloud-init, where broken repository links stop machines from grabbing security updates, while yelp, libhttp-daemon-perl, and libmatio open doors for sandbox escapes, arbitrary command execution, and remote code execution.

Zed Editor 1.8.2 is live, bringing a sidebar worktree shortcut, a pane size reset command, and Anthropic-compatible provider support to the editor. Agent terminals get tighter control with host-specific network allowlisting and a new init command, while Git performance improves through reduced background overhead and faster branch resolution. Editor workflows gain select inside and select around delimiters actions, and Prettier now respects .editorconfig files for formatting.

Ventoy 1.1.14 Released: Fixes UEFI CA 2023 Secure Boot Issues and Adds New Policy Controls

Software 44499 Published 2026-06-24 17:36 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Ventoy 1.1.14 patches the UEFI CA 2023 revocation that recently bricked bootable drives across modern systems. The update swaps in a fresh secure boot shim but forces users to manually enroll a new signing key during the first boot. On the management side, the release syncs VentoyPlugson and introduces a VTOY_SECURE_BOOT_POLICY flag for tighter deployment control. If you're relying on network booting instead of physical media, the release notes also point users toward the iVentoy PXE server alternative.

Visual Studio Code 1.126 Adds Session Cost Tracking, Multi-Chat Agents and Safer Defaults

Software 44499 Published 2026-06-24 15:36 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Visual Studio Code 1.126 dropped today, introducing session-level credit tracking and a multi-chat Agents window to give developers tighter control over their AI spending. The release also consolidates model tuning settings and shifts new workspaces into Restricted Mode by default, meaning you’ll browse unfamiliar code safely before any automation triggers. You can rename individual chat tabs within shared sessions, and those conversations persist across window reloads so you don’t lose your place.

Valve Releases SteamOS 3.8 DIY Installer with Broad AMD and Handheld Support

Linux 3376 Published 2026-06-24 13:49 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Valve has updated the SteamOS 3.8 DIY install image, closing the gap between the official release and the flashing tool while massively expanding third-party hardware support. The update currently requires an AMD GPU, but it brings sweeping improvements to desktop mode, defaulting to Wayland with KDE Plasma 6.4.3 and a Linux 6.16 kernel. Valve also packed in numerous developer tools, audio routing fixes, and low-latency controller support for dozens of PC handhelds. This release effectively transforms SteamOS into a viable foundation for custom Linux gaming rigs ahead of the company’s next hardware wave.

Fish 4.8.0 Released: Fluent Translations, cd Symlink Flags, and Legacy Cleanup

Software 44499 Published 2026-06-24 13:10 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Fish 4.8.0 ships with 234 commits from 39 contributors, centering on a backend shift from GNU gettext to Fluent for translatable messages. The update finally brings -L and -P flags to the cd builtin, giving users explicit control over symbolic link resolution. Session management improves with a fix for dropped history across concurrent instances, while the upgrade process now gracefully skips legacy theme config files. Package maintainers and script writers should note the cleaned-up installation directories and the removal of automatic argument unescaping in the complete builtin.

Valve Updates Stable Steam Client with 250 Mbit/s Remote Play and Multi-Controller Support

Software 44499 Published 2026-06-24 10:11 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Valve pushed a stable Steam client update on June 23rd that significantly raises the streaming ceiling for Remote Play. The new adaptive bitrate cap now pushes up to 250 Mbit/s on compatible clients, though you’ll need the beta branch to unlock the full limit. Windows users can also bypass the traditional four-controller limit by launching the client with the -gameinput flag, while Linux gets a quieter Pipewire session optimization. The rollout drops automatically with your next launch, but the enhanced streaming features and several Steam Input bug fixes only take full effect when both machines are running the latest client builds.

ProtonUp-Qt v2.15.1 Update: ARM Fixes and proton-cachyos for Linux Gaming

Software 44499 Published 2026-06-24 10:02 by Philipp Esselbach 0

DavidoTek just released ProtonUp-Qt v2.15.1 to GitHub. The Linux compatibility manager now finally detects aarch64 hardware correctly, stopping ARM handhelds from accidentally pulling x86_64 Proton-GE builds. You will also see several backend swaps, including Luxtorpeda moving to Codeberg and proton-cachyos replacing Proton-Sarek for both Steam and Lutris users. Grab the AppImage from GitHub or wait a few days for the Flathub package if you want to keep your Wine and Proton layers in check.

MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ Review Roundup: Intel Arc G3 Extreme Handheld, $229 ASRock Motherboard, Corsair HS35 v3, and Storage Tests

Reviews 52673 Published 2026-06-24 08:46 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The Claw 8 EX AI+ breaks the compromise. HotHardware and Windows Central reviewers agree that Intel’s Arc G3 Extreme chip pushes this thing to performance levels most competitors simply cannot match as of right now, even if it's that premium price tag that makes you blink twice during checkout. Storage capacity eating into monthly budgets fast, while raw speeds lag behind and hardware trends cycle every few years. On top of that, the $229 ASRock X870E board, Corsair HS35 v3 headset, and a TerraMaster NAS running TOS 7 with OpenClaw round out a day where there's clear performance gains despite the usual price hikes.

COSMIC 1.1 Released: System76's Linux Desktop Gets Faster Patches and Core Upgrades

Software 44499 Published 2026-06-24 08:27 by Philipp Esselbach 0

System76 has officially shipped COSMIC 1.1, the latest stable release of its Rust-based desktop environment for Pop!_OS and other GNU/Linux distributions. The update brings practical workflow improvements like COSMIC Monitor, Page-Up/Page-Down navigation in the file manager, recursive wallpaper scanning, and a more stable Wayland compositor with tiling exceptions. Most importantly, the project has abandoned monolithic releases in favor of regular minor version bumps, ensuring faster patch cycles for Linux desktop users going forward. Arch Linux users will likely see the update hit their mirrors first, while Pop!_OS and Debian packages follow in the coming weeks.

GE-Proton11-1 Released With Proton 11 Rebase and Complete Video Playback Rework

Software 44499 Published 2026-06-24 08:07 by Philipp Esselbach 0

GE-Proton11-1 has been released, pulling the community fork directly onto Proton 11 bleeding-edge. The real headline is a complete media pipeline overhaul that gutted GStreamer and reroutes DirectShow video through winedmo and FFmpeg. GloriousEggroll used an AI agent to patch decades of legacy game compatibility, dropping dozens of environment variables and eliminating the need for manual winetricks hacks. It’s a massive step forward for legacy media playback, though you should treat it as experimental and keep your Steam branches updated before installing.

Node.js 24.18.0 LTS Released: Crypto Hardening, 64 KiB Buffers, and WebCrypto Upgrades

Software 44499 Published 2026-06-24 08:01 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Node.js 24.18.0 has shipped as the latest LTS release, bringing targeted performance adjustments to the HTTP agent and Buffer allocation system. The update adds TurboSHAKE and KangarooTwelve support to the Web Cryptography API while patching CryptoKey handling against prototype pollution and malformed inputs. You'll also see the default Buffer pool size jump to 64 KiB, which should cut down on allocation churn for memory-heavy workloads. Alongside these core improvements, the release bumps the bundled npm dependency to 11.16.0 and patches SQLite to 3.53.1 for broader runtime stability.

Bvncserver, Libnfs, and Libcap2 updates for Ubuntu

Ubuntu 7130 Published 2026-06-24 07:53 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Ubuntu pushed out fresh security patches. Admins running Ubuntu 22.04 through 26.04 need to grab the libvncserver bump to 0.9.15+dfsg to plug CVE-2020-29260 and the trio of 2026 exploits that wreck Tight encoding handlers, while the libnfs fix stops a string length bug from spawning arbitrary code on remote mounts. On top of that, you'll want to run a standard system upgrade to clear the backlog, though keep in mind that patches for those older boxes from 14.04 up to 20.04 now require Ubuntu Pro to stay current.

Fedora pushed a heavy security batch for versions 43 and 44e. Chromium jumped to 149.0.7827.155 to plug nearly thirty memory corruption holes, while the perl-Crypt-DSA module finally stops caching nonce values across signatures. On top of that, materialx and FRR landed updates that fix a few CMake configuration errors and knock out some denial-of-service vectors, so you'll definitely want to run the dnf upgrade command to grab all the signed rpms right now, though the Python 3.15 rebuilds might trip up a couple of older workflows.
