📰 After one of its choppiest preview cycles in years, Linux 7.0 is almost ready
Linux 7.0's kernel hasn't had the best of release candidate phases. From the get-go, the release candidates showed more commit activity than usual, which sounds like it should be a good thing, but it really isn't. The release candidates aren't where new features get added; it's where features that have been added undergo testing. Therefore, the more activity a build has, the buggier it is.

📰 Support For AMD GFX11.7 "RDNA 4m" Pending For RADV & RadeonSI Drivers
Back in February we were the first to report on a new AMD "RDNA 4m" target appearing in the AMDGPU LLVM shader compiler. While part of the "RDNA 4" family, it's graphics IP version is GFX 11.7 (GFX1170) that is associated with the RDNA 3 family but with some ISA changes to align it slightly more with the newer RDNA 4 graphics IP.

📰 I stopped organizing my NAS like a PC, and everything got easier to back up and maintain
A network-attached storage (NAS) device isn't just another computer on the network. On your PC, you'll have a folder structure with one dedicated to documents, downloads, desktop, and pictures. That's usually how many Linux distros, macOS, and Windows handle things. It works fine for storing files locally, but things can quickly spiral out of control when you've added a few files to the system.

It was great to see Dino Crisis finally land on Steam earlier this year. Any effort to preserve the classics, clunky or not, should be applauded, as they show us just how far gaming has come since the early days. However, there was just one problem; while Dino Crisis 1 and 2 were being sold on Steam, they didn't want to play nicely on Linux or the Steam Deck.
