Rocky Linux 10 has arrived
One of the most important changes that deserves special attention in Rocky Linux 10 is the fine-tuning of architecture support. Support for x86-64-v2 architectures has been dropped, replaced by AMD and Intel 64-bit x86-64-v3 architectures. This move is in line with the evolution of modern hardware and ensures optimal system performance. It is important to note that 32-bit packages have been removed in their entirety, so that 64-bit libraries or containers with 32-bit dependencies will be required to run 32-bit applications.

The latest version of Endless OS, 6.0.7, is now available
The goal of Endless OS is nothing less than to provide the foundations of the digital world to those who do not always have access to the internet. The San Francisco-based Endless OS Foundation, the foundation behind the American-developed Linux-based operating system, has been working since 2011 to bring technology closer to disadvantaged regions of the world with user-friendly, internet-independent devices. The idea was born out of field research conducted in places such as the Rocinha favela in Brazil and Guatemala. This research clearly indicated that there was a real need for a flexible system that could be taught and learned without the internet.

Turnaround: are European and Japanese carmakers also replacing American chips with Chinese ones?
Chinese-made system-on-chip (SoC) chips for vehicles are becoming increasingly prominent in the global market. While US-based NVIDIA and Qualcomm products have gained ground in mid- and high-end cars, Chinese semiconductor manufacturers are increasing their influence in the mass-market segment. They no longer stand out only for their cost-effectiveness, but are also outperforming their competitors in terms of performance.
