Qubes OS 70 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Qubes OS 4.3.2-rc1 shipped as a patch release, upgrading the default template to Fedora 44 and the kernel to Linux 7.2. The team expects a stable build by end of September without a second RC, calling the changes "relatively minor." Notably, the batch bundles two real security fixes: QSB-119 format string exploitation in qvm-open-in-vm and QSB-118 dom0 code execution in qvm-copy-to-vm. It's meant for testers and reinstallers rather than production systems, and users should make a full backup before jumping in.

iiyama's first OLED monitor, the G-Master GOB2701QSC, lands at a steeply discounted £299 for its 10th anniversary, offering a 280Hz Tandem WOLED panel that undercuts rivals running the same LG panel. Control Resonant split TechPowerUp's attention with both a handheld optimization guide and a 35-GPU desktop benchmark, revealing a game so demanding even an RTX 5090 needs upscaling. The be quiet! Dark Power Pro 14 IO 1300W earned better ratings than its 1600W sibling thanks to Titanium efficiency and software-controlled rails, while Prusa's CORE One L+ picked up an Editor's Choice with a small but meaningful quality upgrade. At the enterprise end, KIOXIA's CM9-R SSD set new 1-DWPD performance records for a perfect-scored win, though its ~$10,347 price keeps it out of reach for most.

KDE 1778 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

KDE Plasma 6.8 has entered its bug-fixing and polishing phase, with the 6.7.90 beta carrying just four open regression reports. The headline upgrade is the second half of the Union theming system's tech preview, now styling QtWidgets apps like Dolphin and Kate alongside QtQuick ones. The team is simultaneously keeping four release tracks stable, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, and the nascent 6.9, while 6.9 remains entirely unscoped and only just beginning. Meanwhile the underlying stack shifts to Qt 6.11.0 and Frameworks 6.30.0, with a new "Hanabi" wallpaper and a modernized crash reporter.

The Wine Staging 11.18 release adding two new experimental patches. The service_check_arch patch stops 64-bit services from being mislabeled with the wrong WOW64 flag, fixing a bug that made services fail to start. The more user-relevant quartz-vy12_to_rgb patch adds software YUV-to-RGB conversion, repairing broken video playback in DirectShow-based players and games. The release also updates the vkd3d-latest patchset and rebases the usual ~90 experimental patches against the latest Wine development branch.

Wine 11.18 shipped September 18, 2026 as a bi-weekly development release, delivering roughly 380 commits from 38 contributors and 21 bug fixes. The headline focus is expanded ntoskrnl.exe work for loading Windows kernel-mode drivers, backed by real test coverage rather than mere stubs. In the same cycle the project also corrected startup regressions it had itself introduced in an ambitious ntdll process-initialization rework. Beyond the internals, the fixes touch recognizable titles like Assassin's Creed Rogue and The Bard's Tale IV, with the next development build expected in about two weeks.

Security 11013 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Exim maintainers released 4.100.1 on 2026-09-18, a security patch fixing four vulnerabilities that span heap corruption, a use-after-free bug, a stack-data leak, and SMTP smuggling. Two of the flaws were reported by watchTowr's McCaulay Hudson, while the other two earned Exim's signature joke credit line blaming AI training data. Because the Proxy Protocol and SMTP-smuggling issues affect versions from 4.83 (2014) all the way through 4.100, a huge installed base of production mail servers is at risk. Three of the four flaws have no workaround, so the project's advice is blunt: upgrade to 4.100.1.

Today's Linux security updates hit eight distros with browsers taking the biggest hit and kernels piling on the most raw CVE counts. SUSE listed 230 Chromium CVEs while Debian went further at 266, and Fedora's own Chromium advisory of 230 CVEs smells synthetic until upstream vouches for them. Kernel updates are the real volume, with AlmaLinux 9 packing roughly 40 CVEs and Oracle shipping two fresh 6.12 trees plus microcode and .NET patches repeated across 8.0, 9.0, and 10.0. Standout quirk: Ubuntu's USN-8779-2 quietly reverted a Bubblewrap symlink fix that had broken Flatpak launches, so scan the individual advisories and patch whatever actually runs on your machines.

MangoWC 0.17.2 shipped on September 17, 2026 as a lean stability patch fixing crashes, build problems, and memory leaks. It marks the third release in a single week, following the feature-packed 0.17.0 milestone and the regression-cleaning 0.17.1. The sparse notes mask real work visible in the commit history, including a dangling-pointer fix tied to config hot-reloading. For users on the 0.17 line, upgrading before adopting newer commits is the recommended move.

Today's roundup of seven reviews spans laptops, cooling, keyboards, motherboards, and portable storage, with a few standout picks across every price point. The Acer Swift Air 14 earns praise as a $699.99 port-rich ultrabook with class-leading battery life, even as its modest CPU and dim screen keep it short of premium. On the enthusiast side, the Corsair iCUE LINK Titan II 360 RX LCD cooler delivers beast-level cooling behind a desktop-mirroring screen, while thermal Grizzly's split Pro paste line and the Razer Huntsman V3 HE's sub-6ms latency round out the performance picks. Apple users in particular may appreciate the Team Group T-Create Expert P34F, a $238 portable SSD with built-in Find My tracking.

Ubuntu 7218 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Canonical released Ubuntu 26.10 "Stonking Stingray" Snapshot 4, the fourth and final monthly development preview before the stable interim release due October 15. This second September snapshot is intentionally close to the upcoming beta and should be treated as a throwaway artifact, not a production install. Snapshot 4 packs Linux 7.2, GNOME 51, Mesa 26.2, and a fully Rustified coreutils, plus a new experimental Amd64-v3 build for newer CPUs.

Amethyst Mod Manager has released v2.5.0, its most feature-heavy update yet, bringing native support for browsing and installing Wabbajack modlists. The same release adds Project Zomboid to its nearly 100 supported games, along with usability tweaks like a content column, hideable buttons, and a data-tab file blacklist. Developer Chris DKN quietly signals a shift toward stability, explicitly pausing new feature requests to shore up reliability instead of piling on capabilities. You can grab it as an AppImage, Flatpak, or from the AUR, though the new Wabbajack integration still carries some rough edges for early adopters.

Alpine Linux 59 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Alpine Linux released simultaneous security updates across all four of its supported branches: 3.21.8, 3.22.6, 3.23.6, and 3.24.2. The three newest branches jumped to OpenSSL 3.5.8 while the older 3.21 line stayed on 3.3.7, a divergence that reflects Alpine's backporting approach as branches near end of support. For 3.21 in particular, this is one of the final security patches, since the branch loses support on November 1, 2026, giving operators about six weeks to plan a migration. Those upgrading a major version should run apk upgrade --available and re-run grub-install afterward if they use GRUB.
