KDE Plasma 6.7 Preview: Fix Discover Spam, Boost Intel Graphics, and Stop Login Crashes

KDE 1717 Published 2026-04-25 08:28 by Philipp Esselbach 0

KDE publish an update on the upcoming Plasma 6.7 and 6.6.5 releases in their latest This Week in Plasma blog posting. The new releases focus on smoother daily workflows and hardware-specific performance gains. The upcoming Discover update features cleaner install buttons and stops spamming Flatpak compatibility warnings by only alerting users once per affected app. Intel graphics cards will see better frame handling through new overlay plane support, while power management tweaks prevent unnecessary battery drain during full-screen usage. Stability patches also resolve login crashes when monitors are hot-plugged, fix accessibility issues in Orca, and correct clipboard failures in the Spectacle screenshot tool.

Ungoogled Chromium 147.0.7727.116-1 released

Software 44313 Published 2026-04-25 08:14 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Ungoogled Chromium 147.0.7727.116-1 delivers another round of Google dependency removal while keeping the familiar Chromium interface intact for users who prefer manual control over automated privacy features. The build relies on domain substitution and binary pruning to block background requests, though most enhancements stay disabled until operators manually flip the right switches in chrome://flags. Users will lose some conveniences like Safe Browsing warnings and captive portal detection, but that tradeoff keeps network chatter down and gives power users tighter grip over their browsing environment. The project remains a solid drop-in replacement for Windows, macOS, and Linux, provided administrators are comfortable digging into configuration files rather than expecting a set-and-forget privacy browser.

Zen Browser 1.19.9b released

Software 44313 Published 2026-04-25 08:08 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Zen Browser 1.19.9b finally patches the memory safety holes and random freezing issues that have been tripping up Linux desktop sessions lately. The update squashes duplicate bookmarks on startup and restores live folder syncing with GitHub pull requests, which saves developers from manually refreshing pages after every reboot. Safe browsing checks and location services also run more reliably across local proxies and containerized dev setups without throwing false positives. Users can grab the fix through their usual package manager or Flatpak channel to keep the browser secure without wrestling with custom build scripts.

The first beta of Godot 4.7 drops with a heavy focus on editor quality of life, adding practical tools like vertex snapping, collapsible animation groups, and clearer remote scene debugging. HDR rendering finally reaches Windows, Linux, and BSD without forcing developers to jump through compiler compatibility hoops. Physics and input systems received long overdue fixes, including proper one-way collision directions and configurable virtual joystick behaviors for touch devices. While several breaking changes mean older projects will need parameter tweaks, this snapshot delivers the stability and workflow upgrades most users have been waiting for.

PHP 8.4.21RC1 and 8.5.6RC1 Fedora/RHEL Packages released

Fedora Linux 9328 Published 2026-04-24 08:38 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Remi Collet has released PHP 8.5.6RC1 and 8.4.21RC1 packages in testing repositories for Fedora and RHEL-based distributions, giving administrators a safe way to preview upcoming changes before the stable rollout. These builds support parallel installation through Software Collections or direct module switches, allowing teams to verify compatibility without disrupting live servers. The latest releases ship with updated external libraries like libicu 74.2 and Oracle Instant Client 23.9, which may require developers to adjust locale formatting and database connection settings.
