Linus Visits Tech Tips and KDE Drops X1104 Dec 202500:54:28

This week we talk about KDE wanting to push Plasma 6.8 into Wayland only territory. We also look at the rough edges that will probably still poke users and how long X11 might hang on before it finally gets kicked out. Venn checked out the ZimaBlade 7700 DIY NAS kit with its swappable RAM and actual PCIe slot. There is a quick bit on Linux Kernel 6.18 and its updates for gaming storage and hardware. And for dessert the 1 GB Raspberry Pi 5 shows up as the cheaper option right as RAM prices decide to climb again.

Upgrade Your NotRaspberryPi™07 Jan 202600:41:03

This week we're checking out Brow6el, a Sixel-capable terminal browser that brings full graphics and mouse support to the command line. We also highlight keyRGB, a bloat-free GUI that brings RGB control to WootBooks, Clevo, and System76 Linux laptops. For hardware enthusiasts, Box64 now supports Steam and Proton on the LoongArch architecture, and the new Armbian Imager simplifies the setup for "NotRaspberryPi" single-board computers.

About Those $1000 Steam Machines14 Jan 202600:35:23

Bose is walking back its SoundTouch shutdown by opening APIs and removing cloud dependencies, keeping the hardware alive for the used market. Kagi’s Orion browser is bringing a fast, WebKit-based alternative to Linux, while Linus Torvalds is embracing "vibe coding" by using Gemini to build the visualizer for his new AudioNoise guitar project. Finally, leaked retail listings for the Steam Machine suggest a $1,000 price tag, likely driven by the ongoing flash memory shortage.

AMD Patches HDMI 2.1 For Linux06 May 202600:43:48

The LVFS is ending the free ride for hardware vendors by requiring contributions to keep the service sustainable and high quality. AMD finally pushed HDMI 2.1 patches to the kernel, likely a move to prepare for upcoming Steam Machines. There is a new ~/Projects directory standard arriving in xdg-user-dirs to help organize code and hardware designs. Finally, Focusrite is working with Linux developers to ensure day one support for the ISA C8X audio interface.
