Linux 7.0 Brings Several Enhancements For Modern Laptops
The x86 platform driver updates were merged recently for the ongoing Linux 7.0 merge window. As is a common theme for platform-drivers-x86, a lot of the feature work is around Linux laptop drivers for enhancing the support on modern hardware...
System76 Preparing To Introduce Redesigned Thelio Hardware
Linux hardware vendor System76 has begun teasing a redesign of their Thelio chassis that is used by their modern desktops and workstations. Helping distinguish System76 from other Linux desktop/PC vendors has been their custom-engineered, built-in-the-USA enclosures and now they are preparing to launch a next-generation design...
Linux 7.0 Retires The IBM Mwave ACP Modem Driver Used By Some 1990s ThinkPads

Linux 7.0 Showing Some Early Performance Regressions On Intel Panther Lake
With the Linux 7.0 merge window beginning to calm down ahead of the 7.0-rc1 release due out on Sunday, one of the areas I was most excited about benchmarking on Linux 7.0 was looking for any performance gains with the new Intel Core Ultra Series 3 "Panther Lake" given ongoing Intel Xe graphics driver improvements and other general kernel optimizations. Unfortunately, at large the Intel Panther Lake performance is moving in the wrong direction with the early Linux 7.0 benchmarking.
More ISA Differences Come To Light With The New AMD GFX1170 "RDNA 4m"
Earlier this month we spotted the addition of a new GFX1170 GPU target in the AMDGPU LLVM back-end. Making this GFX1170 target interesting is that its marked as an APU/SoC part with "RDNA 4m" while being part of the GFX11 series. The GFX11 series is for RDNA3, GFX115x is for RDNA 3.5, and GFX12 is RDNA4. More ISA changes have now been committed to the AMDGPU LLVM back-end that make a few more instruction differences better aligned with RDNA4...
Linux Still Working To Clean Up The Realtek RTL8723BS 802.11b/g/n WiFi Driver In 2026
Introduced to the Linux 4.12 kernel's staging area back in 2017 was the Realtek RTL8723BS WiFi driver. The Realtek RTL8723BS is an 802.11 b/g/ SDIO WLAN adapter with Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity too. In the nearly decade since this driver was added to the staging area, it's continued to be cleaned up and with the Linux 7.0 merge window there is yet again a lot of work on cleaning up this WiFi driver for the old Realtek hardware...

Today, I wrapped up a focused learning session centered on Linux kernel work as part of Dccs102.
Today, I wrapped up a focused learning session centered on Linux kernel work as part of Dccs102. I spent time on Kernel Driver Management, digging into how drivers interact with the kernel and what to watch for when managing modules and dependencies. I also worked through Kernel Management Patching, reinforcing the practical workflow of assessing patch needs, applying updates safely, and thinking through change impact and rollback planning. To round out the session, I dove into Kernel T...
The Ultimate 2026 Checklist for Securing and Optimizing a Dedicated Linux Server
Hey fellow devs! 👋 If you've just provisioned a new bare-metal dedicated server (or even a high-end VPS), the default OS installation is not ready for production. Within minutes of coming online, bots will start hammering port 22. Furthermore, default Nginx and MariaDB configurations leave massive amounts of performance on the table. We've put together a massive 10-step tutorial over at FitServers that takes you from a blank Ubuntu 22.04 / CentOS 9 installation to a fully hardened, product...
