📰 DRBD Driver Working To Land ~15 Years Worth Of Changes Into The Linux Kernel

📰 KDE Plasma 6.7 will finally fix the most annoying part of tweaking your microphone volume
As much as I hate hearing myself over a microphone, I have to admit that listening to yourself while adjusting your mic volume is vital. That way, you know you're not coming through too quietly or too loudly, and you can get a feel for the audio quality, too. Windows has had this feature for a while now, but unfortunately, KDE Plasma won't let you.

📰 Fedora 44 will automatically make your Windows games run faster, no tweaks required
Don't get me wrong; gaming on Linux has come a long way in the last few years. A decade ago, getting any game running on Linux that wasn't designed natively for it was a massive headache at best and impossible at worst. Now, thanks to the efforts from several sources, such as Valve with Proton, it seems like 2026 may be the year of gaming on Linux after all.
