Canonical prepares Ubuntu Desktop version containing only Snap packages: 31/05/2023
Developers from Canonical intend to start next year on the delivery of additional Ubuntu Desktop builds based on the Ubuntu Core platform and include only applications designed with Snap packages. Similar to Fedora Silverblue and Endless OS that use Flatpaks. The first experimental builds of the new version of Ubuntu Desktop is planned for the spring of next year. The delivery of classic Ubuntu Desktop builds with deb-packages will continue without changes.
Ubuntu Core means the delivery of an indivisible monolithic image of the base system, which does not use a breakdown into separate deb packages and uses the mechanism of atomic renewal of the entire system. Ubuntu Core components, including the basic system, the Linux kernel, system add-ons and additional applications, are supplied in snap format and controlled by snap tools. The Snap components are isolated using AppArmor and Seccomp, which creates an additional milestone to protect the system in case of compromised individual applications. The base file system is mounted in read-only mode. Updates of the base environment are delivered in OTA mode (over-the-air), include only changes (delta-updates) and synchronized with the current LTS release of Ubuntu.

Asahi Linux: 06/06/2023
The developers of the Asahi project, aimed at porting Linux to work on Mac computers equipped with ARM chips developed by Apple, prepared a June update of the distribution (560 MB and 3.5 GB) and published a report on the implementation in the support of OpenGL 3.1. Asahi Linux is based on Arch Linux, includes a traditional set of programs and comes with the KDE Plasma desktop. The distribution is built using regular Arch Linux repositories, and all specific changes, such as the kernel, installer, loader, auxiliary scripts and environment settings, are placed in a separate repository.
To support the GPU AGX chips on Apple M1 and M2, they develop two drivers that work in pairing with each other: DRM driver (Direct Rendering Manager) drm-asahi for the Linux kernel written in Rust language, and the driver asahi for Mesa, written in the C language. The core-level driver is initially developed taking into account the future support of the Vulkan API, and the software interface for interaction with the user space and is designed with an UAPI view, provided by the new Intel Xe driver. Since Apple M1/M2 chips use its own GPU, which runs on closed firmware and uses quite complex shared data structures, they had to reverse engineer macOS drivers.

To download, a universal DVD build, 4 GB (x86_64, aarch64, ppc64les, 390x), a mini image (200 MB) and Live-builds with KDE, GNOME and Xfce (900 MB).
Updates for the openSUSE Leap 15.5 branch will be available until the end of 2024. Initially, version 15.5 was expected to be the latest in the 15.x series, but the developers decided to generate another release of 15.6 next year before the planned transition to the ALP (Adaptable Linux Platform) as the basis of openSUSE and SUSE Leap.
PostmarketOS 23.06: 07/06/2023
The release of postmarketOS 23.06, a Linux distribution for smartphones, based on Alpine Linux, the standard Musl C-library and a set of BusyBox utilities, has been published. The goal of the project is to provide a Linux distribution for smartphones, independent of the life cycle support of official firmware and not tied to the standard solutions of the main industry players who set the development vector. The builds are prepared for the PINE64 PinePhone, Purism Librem 5 and 29 community-supported devices, including the Samsung Galaxy A3/A5/S4, Xiaomi Mi Note 2/Redmi 2, OnePlus 6, Lenovo A6000, ASUS MeMo Pad 7 and even the Nokia N900. Limited experimental support is provided for more than 300 devices.
The postmarketOS environment is as unified as possible and takes all the device-specific components in separate packages, all other packages are identical to all devices and are based on Alpine Linux packages. In the builds, where possible, the Linux vanilla kernel is used, otherwise the kernels from firmware prepared by device manufacturers are used. KDE Plasma Mobile, Phosh, GNOME Mobile and Sxmo are available as the main custom shells, but it is possible to install other environments, including MATE and Xfce.

Bcachefs in the Linux kernel: 19/05/2023
Kent Overstreet, author of the Linux kernel caching systems of block devices on BCache SSD-drives, in his speech at the LSFMM 2023 (Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management & BPF Summit) summed up the results of work on the transfer of the Bcachefs file system to the main composition of the Linux core and talked about plans for the further development of this FS. In May, an updated set of patches with the implementation of the Bcachefs FS was proposed for reviewing and inclusion in the main composition of the Linux kernel. FS Bcachefs has been developing for about 10 years. The readiness to review the implementation of Bcachefs before the inclusion in the core was announced at the end of 2020 and in the current version of the patches took into account the comments and shortcomings identified during the previous review.
The purpose of the development of Bcachefs is to achieve the level of XFS in performance, reliability and scalability, while providing additional features inherent in Btrfs and ZFS, such as the inclusion in the partition of several devices, multi-layer layouts, replication (RAID 1/10), caching, transparent data compression (LZ4, gzip and ZSTD modes), status cuts, and the ability to record the amount of the data5/6), storage of information in encrypted form (used by ChaCha20 and Poly1305Poly1305). In terms of performance, Bcachefs ahead of Btrfs and other FS based on the Copy-on-Write mechanism, and demonstrates a working speed close to Ext4 and XFS.
