digiKam 9.0.0: Cut Thumbnail Lag, Expand Raw Support, and Add Survey Window

KDE 1705 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

digiKam 9.0.0 fixes a host of long‑standing problems while adding a slick UI overhaul, better raw‑camera coverage, and a handy Survey window for second‑screen reviews. The Libraw engine now recognises Canon R5 Mark II, Sony A7C II, Panasonic GH7, and many more models that previously caused “unknown format” errors or slow processing. Face detection has been rewritten to cut scan times in half, and Wayland support is no longer a headache on Linux systems. After downloading the appropriate installer or AppImage from the digiKam site, a quick update check confirms you’re running the latest build—time to enjoy a smoother photo‑management experience.

CachyOS March 2026 release Adds Animated Desktop Previews and Handy Handheld Tweaks

CachyOS 8 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

The March 2026 CachyOS update delivers three practical upgrades: animated desktop previews that keep people from guessing what Plasma or GNOME feels like, smarter microcode logic that stops firmware mismatches from turning browsers into frozen messes, and a Handheld Edition revamp that finally lets Steam Deck owners patch firmware without an external USB drive. 

Linux Kernel 7.0 RC3 released: Bigger Than rc2 Because of More Self‑Tests

Linux 3318 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Linus Torvalds just released Linux Kernel 7.0‑rc3, a surprisingly large patch set largely composed of an expanded test suite rather than new features. The increase in size reflects the kernel team’s effort to catch regressions before the final 7.0 release, with most other changes being routine clean‑ups or hardware quirks. For everyday users this candidate remains experimental and best suited for testing on spare hardware or virtual machines. Once failures drop below a threshold, rc3 will be merged into the next branch, leading to the official 7.0 release in roughly a month after today’s announcement.

VSCodium 1.110.11631: Fix Font Issues, Disable Copilot Inline Actions and Improve Tab Spacing

Software 44189 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

VSCodium 1.110.1 drops a tidy set of fixes that straighten out icon sizing in the status bar, tighten up tab spacing, and correct the pixel‑perfect look of the minimap’s bottom pane. The update also gives users a quick toggle to turn off Copilot’s inline suggestions, which can be a real nuisance after an extension hiccup. A simple JSON tweak disables those pop‑in hints while preserving the rest of the editor’s AI features. After a restart, the UI should feel smoother and the Copilot pop‑ups will no longer interrupt typing flow.

How AM 9.9.5s Checksum Verification Keeps AppImages Safe and Sound

Software 44189 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

AM 9.9.5 introduces experimental checksum support that marks installed AppImages with a green checkmark whenever the binary’s digest matches an online .zsync or .DIGEST file, instantly indicating the app’s integrity. The feature runs on every install and upgrade, so a missing or mismatched checksum will be flagged right after the download completes, though failure does not automatically mean malware—it merely signals that the AppImage lacks a compliant checksum file. Enabling it is as simple as updating with am -u and then listing apps; verified packages will show the tick next to their version number. 

OBS Studio 32.1.0 Adds a Fresh Audio Mixer, WebRTC Simulcast, and Key Crash Fixes for Streamers

Software 44189 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

OBS Studio’s newest 32.1.0 patch introduces a clearer audio mixer, WebRTC simulcast for multi‑resolution streaming, and a fully functional undo/redo system that now covers scale filtering, blending mode, and deinterlacing settings. The update also tightens security on local browser sources and adds a convenient toggle to enable or disable missing plugins in the manager, cutting down on panel clutter with dock animation disabled and transition preview repositioned for easier access. On the bug‑fix side, crashes that previously occurred when switching profiles on Linux or shutting down macOS with active YouTube docks have been addressed, along with several other stability improvements such as eliminating null‑source crashes, correcting black thumbnails in recordings, and refining video scaling for multi‑video encoders.

Security 10933 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Multiple Linux distributions, including AlmaLinux, Debian GNU/Linux, Fedora Linux, Oracle Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Rocky Linux, and Ubuntu Linux, have released security updates to address vulnerabilities in various packages. The updates include fixes for issues such as denial-of-service, memory disclosure, and information leakage, which could affect the stability and security of Linux systems. Different versions of each distribution have been updated with patches for CVEs ranging from moderate to important levels of severity. Users are advised to run the appropriate command, such as "sudo apt update" or "sudo dnf upgrade -y," to apply the updates and ensure their systems remain secure.

VSCodium 1.110.11607 Now Fixes the Padding Bug That Leaves Your Code Lines Air‑brushed

Software 44189 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

A new VSCodium build now includes VS Code core 1.110.1, fixing a padding issue that left unwanted space around characters when fonts specify zero margins or padding. The update makes the editor honor explicit zero values instead of defaulting to an eight‑pixel buffer. After a quick check‑for‑updates and restart, code lines will align more tightly—especially with minimalist themes or custom font settings that rely on minimal spacing. This single tweak removes a visual glitch without any extra configuration work, giving editors a cleaner, more professional look.

Bazaar 0.7.12 Removes Parental‑Control Lockout and Streamlines App Display

GNOME 3706 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Bazaar 0.7.12 resolves an annoying parental‑control bug that had forced users into a child‑only mode whenever Windows’ settings couldn’t be read, restoring full access to all apps by defaulting to no restrictions. The update also refreshes Japanese and Czech translations, cleans up the featured carousel padding, and introduces a layout manager for consistent app tile widths across window sizes. Contextual titles, tooltips on “more info” links, and improved tooltip placement enhance usability without adding bulk. After installing this patch, any machine that previously showed only the default early‑childhood category will now display every installed application as expected.

Wine Staging 11.4: Faster DX12 Fixes With an Updated vkd3d Patchset

Software 44189 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Wine Staging 11.4 brings the latest vkd3d patchset from Wine’s development branch, offering faster bug fixes for DirectX 12 games. Because it sits outside the main tree, experimental code can improve performance quickly but may still be flaky for some users. Installing the build is simple: grab “wine‑staging‑11.4‑x86_64.exe” from WineHQ, run it, and confirm with wine --version. After that, enabling DXVK in a Wine prefix usually delivers smoother gameplay with Vulkan translation.

Wine Development Release 11.4 Fixes Xara Resize Handles, Optimizes DirectSound, and Corrects Time‑Zone Matching

Software 44189 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Wine 11.4 introduces a reimplemented SAX reader in native MSXML, speeding up large‑document parsing for office suites and scripts that expect Windows‑style streams. DirectSound’s resampling has been streamlined by dropping double‑precision math, swapping divisions with modulus operations, which keeps audio apps from hogging CPU during sample‑rate conversions. The release also starts a CFGMGR32 implementation to give applications a more realistic view of hardware devices and corrects Unix time‑zone matching to avoid one‑hour drift in date displays.
