📰 COSMIC just hit version 1.2, and it's quietly doing things GNOME and KDE still make you fight for

The world of Linux desktops is rich and varied, with plenty of options to suit your preferences. But while KDE and GNOME dominate the landscape, a relative newcomer is starting to make waves with features other desktops still don't fully support. It's called COSMIC, and it recently hit version 1.2.

Первый стабильный выпуск IncidentRelay, системы для организации дежурств и маршрутизации оповещений

После пяти месяцев разработки опубликован выпуск проекта IncidentRelay 1.1, развивающего открытую систему для организации дежурств, маршрутизации оповещений и сопровождения инцидентов, запускаемую на собственном сервере (self-hosted). IncidentRelay 1.1 отмечен как первый стабильный выпуск (ветка 1.0 имела статус бета-версии). Проект ориентирован на SRE, DevOps и инфраструктурные команды, которым требуется локально разворачиваемая альтернатива SaaS-сервисам для управления дежурством (on-call management), применения политик эскалации и реагирования на инциденты. Код проекта написан на Python и распространяется под лицензией MIT.

📰 Claude desktop app for Linux enters beta

Anthropic has released a beta of its Claude desktop app for Linux, launching alongside an apt repo Ubuntu users can add for ongoing updates. According to the official docs, Claude desktop for Linux offers “the same Chat, Cowork, and Claude Code experience as macOS and Windows: parallel sessions, visual diff review, an integrated terminal and editor, and live app preview”. However, not all of the app’s features are yet available.

📰 Reworked System Call Entry Handling Slated For Linux 7.3

Stemming from looking at a proposed Linux kernel patch to alter the Linux kernel's system call number handling, veteran Linux kernel developer Thomas Gleixner went down a rabbit hole of the kernel's system call entry handling to make a number of clean-ups and improvements to the code. That rework to the system call entry handling is now expected to land for the Linux 7.3 kernel cycle...

Госдума России приняла закон «О поддержке развития технологий искусственного интеллекта в Российской Федерации»

Сразу во 2-м и 3-м чтении 8.07.2026 был принят очень важный для целой отрасли закон. Закон носит рамочный характер и предполагает, что правительство выпустит массу подзаконных актов, регулирующих отдельные технические и правовые вопросы. Закон, в случае одобрения Советом Федерации и Президентом РФ, вступит в действие в основном уже с 1 сентября 2026 г., хотя полностью все положения заработают с 1 марта 2027 г. В ситуации уже состоявшегося внедрения моделей, там где потребуется применение только национальных или суверенных моделей, их можно будет продолжать использовать до 1 сентября 2032 г.

China accelerates AI deployment as Western skepticism slows adoption

China has rapidly integrated artificial intelligence across its economy, reaching a penetration rate of nearly 43% in daily life and industrial sectors. The nation now holds approximately 60% of the world's AI patents, supported by a core industry valuation exceeding $174 billion. This aggressive rollout is driven by a strategic commitment to digital transformation during the current five-year economic plan.

German AI consortium launches Soofi S 30B-A3B sovereign open-source model

A German research consortium has released Soofi S 30B-A3B, an open-source large language model designed for high performance in both German and English. The model utilizes a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, which contains 31.6 billion total parameters but only activates 3.2 billion per token to reduce computational costs. It was trained on 27 trillion tokens, with the German language share intentionally increased to 15.3% to outperform existing European sovereign baselines.

AI orchestration systems prioritize cost and efficiency over model size

The artificial intelligence industry is transitioning from a race for larger models toward the development of integrated orchestration systems. These platforms function as a harness, automatically routing tasks to the most appropriate model based on complexity, cost, and required data access. This shift allows organizations to utilize inexpensive open-weight models for routine operations while reserving premium proprietary models for high-stakes reasoning or coding tasks.

Ubuntu 26.04 fixes Papers bug that sent PDF links to wrong page

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is prepping a bug fix update to Papers, the document viewer that replaced Evince in 25.04, resolving several annoyances – including internal PDF links that jumped to the wrong page. The internal link snafu only occurred in some PDFs, not all, and typically took you to a page one off the actual target. Annoying. The fix stops two separate bits of code that both tried to set the zoom level when links jumped to fit-width or fit-page view. A knock-on quirk also saw the alt + p shortcut (which will jump back to the previous page) wouldn’t […]

Инициатива по упрощению тестирования экспериментальных версий программ в GNOME OS

Разработчики GNOME OS, дистрибутива для разработчиков и тестировщиков GNOME, представили инициативу по созданию инструментария для упрощения тестирования экспериментальных версий программ в дистрибутивах, распространяемых в форме атомарно обновляемых монолитных системных образов. Развиваемый инструментарий GNOME OS Developer Tool Suite позволит собирать, распространять и тестировать расширения к дистрибутивам, поставляемым в форме системных образов. Инструментарий даст возможность разработчикам и тестировщикам изменять части системы и тестировать вносимые изменения, не нарушая при этом монолитность системного образа, не используя изолированные от системы контейнеры и не отключая механизмы обеспечения безопасности.

RDP Multipath with redundant TCP for Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365

RDP Multipath is a feature for Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 Cloud PCs that keeps multiple network transport paths active simultaneously and automatically switches them when one degrades. Microsoft has made RDP Multipath with redundant TCP support generally available for both services. The feature activates automatically when the prerequisites are met, requiring no server-side configuration. This article explains how the feature works, what to prepare, and what to verify.

OpenAI recommends outcome-first prompting for GPT-5.6 and Codex

OpenAI has released updated prompting guidance that prioritizes desired outcomes over rigid step-by-step instructions. This approach allows reasoning models like GPT-5.6 to independently determine the most efficient search, tool, or reasoning path to reach a goal. The framework is built around four optional components: goal, context, output format, and boundaries.

Chinese researchers achieve 100-fold AI speed boost using optical interconnects

Researchers at Peking University have developed an all-optical interconnect system that links standard electronic chips to significantly accelerate artificial intelligence processing. This breakthrough utilizes specialized hardware to replace traditional electrical connections between chips with high-speed optical "joints." By integrating these optical links with custom algorithms, the system achieves AI inference speeds up to 100 times faster than conventional methods.
