Fedora Asahi Remix 44 Released for Apple Silicon Macs

Fedora Linux 9333 Published 2026-04-28 17:06 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Fedora Asahi Remix 44 finally ports the full Fedora Linux 44 stack to Apple Silicon Macs and ditches custom Mesa builds for upstream packages that actually play nice with kernel updates. New installations skip the old Calamares wizard in favor of a Plasma-native setup flow, while KDE Plasma 6.6 and GNOME 50 now match their upstream counterparts without heavy patching. Users will need to run the upgrade through DNF or KDE Discover since GNOME Software tends to drop dependencies during major desktop shifts, so keeping a terminal window open saves headaches later.

Fedora Linux 44 Is Officially Here

Fedora Linux 9333 Published 2026-04-28 16:55 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Fedora Linux 44 officially lands today as a bit-for-bit copy of last week’s RC 1.7, so anyone who already grabbed that image can skip the download and jump straight to upgrading or installing. The desktop experience gets a solid bump with GNOME 50 on Workstation and KDE Plasma 6.6 featuring a cleaner first-boot setup that actually guides you through configuration instead of dumping you into a blank screen. Under the hood, the release swaps in faster OpenSSL certificate handling, makes MariaDB 11.8 the default database package, auto-enables NTSYNC kernel support for Wine and Steam, and shrinks cloud images by switching to Btrfs boot subvolumes. Moving from an older Fedora version just requires a standard dnf upgrade with a repo refresh and a quick config backup before rebooting into the new release.

Proton 11 Beta 2 released

Software 44322 Published 2026-04-28 15:11 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Proton 11 Beta 2 drops a quick compatibility patch that finally stops the EA App from freezing your desktop when launching games. Valve also smoothed out frame drops during the opening cinematic in They Are Billions and fixed DirectX 12 translation glitches that were breaking Marvel's Avengers. The update relies on an updated Xalia component and a newer vkd3d-proton branch to handle these Windows layer hiccups without introducing major new features. Steam users should only force this beta onto specific titles they actually need to test, since experimental builds still carry enough risk of broken controller profiles or audio routing to make a full library update a headache.

Zen Browser 1.19.10b released

Software 44322 Published 2026-04-28 08:26 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The latest Zen Browser update finally patches that nasty startup crash which left users staring at a completely unresponsive window. It also adds a quick alt or opt key combined with a click to instantly split merged tabs without digging through menus. Compact mode video controls now stay properly visible, and dragging tabs between separate windows correctly hides the sidebar instead of leaving it glitched in place. Workflow heavy users will appreciate how these targeted fixes clean up the daily routine without padding the release with unnecessary features.

Qubes OS 4.2 End of Life: How to Upgrade to 4.3 Safely

Qubes OS 63 Published 2026-04-28 08:22 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Qubes OS 4.2 officially drops all security support, leaving any lingering installations completely exposed to unpatched vulnerabilities. Users must migrate to version 4.3 through either a clean install that wipes dom0 customizations or an in-place upgrade tool designed to preserve them. The fresh installation route avoids technical headaches but forces a rebuild of modified settings, while the migration path keeps existing setups intact at the cost of navigating a fragile multi-stage process. Since every patch within the 4.2 branch shares the exact same expiration date, waiting past June guarantees running an unsupported system with zero maintenance backing it up.

Linux Kernel 6.6.136 released

Linux 3345 Published 2026-04-28 08:15 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Linux Kernel 6.6.136 LTS drops a heavy batch of patches aimed at closing memory safety holes in the networking stack and file system drivers. The update specifically targets out-of-bounds writes and use-after-free conditions in ksmbd, OCFS2, F2FS, and NTFS3 that could trigger kernel panics or leak sensitive data to untrusted clients. Virtualization gets a targeted fix for KVM MMIO fragment handling, while networking receives stricter validation checks for rxrpc tickets and packet socket headers to prevent race condition exploits. Hardware support rounds out the release with corrected driver lifecycle management for media devices and fresh audio quirks for several modern laptops and desktops.

Linux Kernel 7.0.2 released

Linux 3345 Published 2026-04-28 08:10 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The Linux kernel 7.0.2 release drops a heavy batch of SMB server fixes that finally patch out-of-bounds writes and broken connection counters, which means network shares will stop crashing or rejecting legitimate users after hitting artificial limits. FUSE mounts and the F2FS filesystem get tighter bounds checking to prevent page cache overflows and use-after-free bugs during concurrent unmounts or heavy backup jobs. AMDGPU drivers swap their legacy ID allocator for an XArray structure that handles interrupt contexts without deadlocking, while crypto subsystems finally fix async callback chains that were silently skipping hash verification. It is a straightforward stable update that quietly patches dangerous network sharing vulnerabilities and keeps the underlying system from tripping over itself during routine file operations.
