XanMod Kernel 6.19.9 and 6.18.19 LTS released

Debian 10829 Ubuntu 7023 Published 2026-03-20 08:10 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The XanMod team has pushed out kernel versions 6.19.9 and 6.18.19 LTS for users who want to squeeze extra performance out of their Linux desktops without waiting for standard cycles. These builds ship with Google's BBRv3 congestion control enabled by default alongside specific tweaks for AMD 3D V-Cache processors that most distros ignore. Installation requires adding a new repository key and ensuring DKMS dependencies are present before attempting an update on Debian or Ubuntu systems. Anyone running NVIDIA drivers or VM software should proceed with caution because third-party modules often break until their maintainers catch up to the latest changes.

Ungoogled Chromium 146.0.7680.153-1 released

Software 44212 Published 2026-03-20 08:00 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The newest ungoogled chromium update arrives with a strict focus on cutting off connections to Google servers while maintaining the standard engine experience. It enforces this by replacing internal domains with fake addresses and blocking any attempts to reach them at runtime through domain substitution techniques. Most privacy controls remain disabled by default so users must manually enable features within chrome://flags to gain full transparency over their browsing data. This build is best suited for power users willing to tweak settings in exchange for a browser that does not phone home to the search giant.

Godot 4.5.2 released

Software 44212 Published 2026-03-20 07:55 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The Godot Engine team just released version 4.5.2 for developers who need to stay on the older branch instead of jumping to 4.6 immediately. This update targets specific pain points by adding debug symbols for Android crash logs and improving shader compilation times for Windows users running Direct3D 12. The support policy has shifted so version 4.5 enters partial maintenance mode while the older 4.4 branch officially reaches end of life without further patches. It remains essential to keep a Git repository or backup handy since any update carries a risk of corruption that could ruin hours of work.
