This week it's all about the GPUs, with KDE 6.1, Nvidia's 555 drivers, and Mesa 24.1 all coming out, bringing support for Explicit sync, the Nvidia NVK ready for prime time, and more. Then there's Handbreak with FFmpeg 7.0 support, Ventoy bringing an update, and a new Pipewire RC with support for snapcast. Then there's Hans Reiser's last request for ReiserFS making it into kernel 6.10. For tips, we have the Bluefish editor, The last of Spring Cleaning, and how to use docker to very quickly spin up one-off containers.

It's another Linux laptop, and this time Framework is bringing the RISC-V heat. There's an LTS battle brewing, KDE pushes 6.1 with more fixes, and X Windows turns 40. And don't forget the Firefox beta, Raspberry Pi going Monochrome, and more news about Kaspersky. For tips, we have a tiling shell in Gnome, the fuser command for finding what's using that file, nproc for showing off how many cores your new machine has, and how to convince your browser to visit that IPv6 address instead of just searching it.
