Systemd 255 even is introducing systemd-bsod as a “Blue Screen of Death” for displaying important error messages during boot failure, systemd-vmspawn as a new tool to spawn virtual machines, and other new features.
The run-time overhead of threading “seems to be negligible in typical cases” and this FFmpeg multi-threading is great news considering this multimedia library is used practically everywhere.
With Linux 6.7, more SRSO mitigation clean-ups have been merged.

KDE Plasma 6 is built against the latest Qt 6 open-source application framework and will boast numerous new features and enhancements, including full Wayland support, a brand-new icon theme for a fresh new look, as well as the return of the highly requested desktop cube effect, which you can see in the featured screenshot above.
But staging is also lightened up a bit by dropping a wired Ethernet and wireless driver as part of the ongoing kernel effort to remove unused and old WiFi drivers.

I’m staging a protest until KDE releases a new Comic iconset. They were great in KDE 3. I’d love to see a KDE 6 revision.
Which don’t exist any more.
These are kind of close.

Citrix initially issued a patch for the vulnerability on October 10. Two weeks later, the collaboration giant urged admins to apply a fix immediately after it had received “reports of incidents consistent with session hijacking, and have received credible reports of targeted attacks exploiting this vulnerability.”

Coming more than eight months after FFmpeg 6.0 “Von Neumann”, the FFmpeg 6.1 release is dubbed “Heaviside” and introduces multi-threaded Vulkan-powered hardware accelerated decoding supporting H264, HEVC, and AV1 codecs, as well as a VAAPI (Video Acceleration API) AV1 encoder.

That FFGmpeg 6.1 update is some heavy fo’ schizzle!
This…
“Multi-threaded Vulkan-powered hardware accelerated decoding supporting H264, HEVC, and AV1 codecs, as well as a VAAPI (Video Acceleration API) AV1 encoder”
Is what I’m talking about! Those are very big, progressive steps that mean a lot for video & audio decoding & streaming. It’s almost (flagged out-of-date) in the Arch repos, but the Git version in the AUR is up-to-date.

Not sure whether to cringe, laugh, or be upset.
Just joking, I laugh.
