Microsoft’s leaked Project Aion tried to replace Windows with Copilot

Leaked Microsoft documents and video reveal Project Aion, a working Copilot-only operating system that replaced the Windows desktop with an AI-driven web shell. Designed for PCs and potentially Android-based devices, Aion abandoned the Start menu and Win32 apps in favor of task-focused conversations, while Microsoft’s current priorities suggest the project is unlikely to ship.

Ubuntu 26.10 ‘Stonking Stingray’ hits feature freeze

Ubuntu 26.10, codenamed ‘Stonking Stingray’, has just hit feature freeze (as of August 24). From this point onwards, development focus shifts from landing major changes to improving them, along with the rest of the package set, ahead of the final, stable Ubuntu 26.10 release in October. “Ideally, you should all now be focusing on bug fixing rather than getting new features into the release”, said Paride Legovini, engineer at Canonical, in a post on the Ubuntu developer mailing list. However, the final makeup of Ubuntu 26.10 – which will offer GNOME 51, more Rust tooling and GPU driver management in […]

Релиз дистрибутива Vanilla OS 3, использующего контейнеры и атомарные обновления

После двух лет разработки опубликован выпуск пользовательского дистрибутива Vanilla OS 3, основанного на пакетной базе Debian, но выходящего за рамки обычной пересборки. Системное окружение в Vanilla OS монтируется в режиме только для чтения и обновляется атомарно, а приложения запускаются в отдельных контейнерах, используя прослойку на базе инструментария Distrobox. В качестве пользовательского окружения предлагается немодифицированный GNOME, поставляемый в том виде, в каком он изначально выпускается разработчиками. Собственные графические конфигураторы написаны на GTK4 с использованием Libadwaita. Размер iso-образа - 1.8 ГБ (x86_64, arm64).

📰 Early Linux 7.3 Kernel Benchmarks Show Some Performance Improvements, Some Regressions

Being halfway through the Linux 7.3 kernel merge window and prior to wrapping up and sending back the HP Z4 G6i workstation powered by the Xeon 678X Granite Rapids WS processor, I decided to run some benchmarks to see how Linux 7.3 Git is performing relative to the prior stable kernel series. Here are the first benchmarks of this early state of Linux 7.3 with some performance improvements as well as some regressions.

У Linux юбилей -- 35 лет!

Сегодня ядру нашей замечательной системы исполняется 35 лет!
В этот день в 1991 году студент Хельсинского университета Линус Торвальдс написал в своëм электронном письме о том, что он делает свободную систему для систем 386(486) и желает получить обратную связь с пожеланиями: что людям нравится или не нравится в Minix, для дальнейшей реализации идей или пожеланий в системе Линуса.
На момент написания письма Линус уже портировал в свою систему bash 1.08 и gcc 1.40.

Ядру Linux исполнилось 35 лет

25 августа 1991 года после пяти месяцев разработки 21-летний студент Линус Торвальдс объявил в телеконференции comp.os.minix о создании рабочего прототипа новой операционной системы Linux, для которой было отмечено завершение портирования bash 1.08 и gcc 1.40. Первый публичный выпуск ядра Linux был представлен 17 сентября. Ядро 0.0.1 имело размер 62 Кб в сжатом виде и содержало примерно 10 тысяч строк исходного кода. Современное ядро Linux насчитывает около 44 млн строк кода.

📰 Ubuntu 24.04 gets a big open-vm-tools update

A major update to open-vm-tools, a package that integrates Linux virtual machines with VMware hypervisors, is rolling out to users of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. “Without SRUing the newer version users get issues running on more recent hypervisors”, Canonical’s Lena Voytek explained in a backport request. It’s a full backport from Ubuntu 26.04 LTS to support platform enablement to benefit those running 24.04 LTS. The open-vm-tool package goes from v12.3.
