📰 KDE Plasma 6.6 Delivers An Impressive Edge For Radeon Graphics Over GNOME 50 On Ubuntu 26.04

In testing thus far on Ubuntu 26.04, the KDE Plasma 6.6 desktop with the Wayland session is working pretty darn well and delivering a performance edge across many games/graphics workloads compared to the default GNOME 50 desktop. At least as far as AMD Radeon graphics are concerned, Plasma 6.6 is in quite impressive shape for the upcoming Ubuntu 26.04 LTS release.

В новом образе

Теперь при установке можно выбрать только одну среду рабочего стола — KDE Plasma или Xfce. По умолчанию система предлагает обновленную KDE Plasma 6.
Добавлено приложение «Альт Компоненты» для управления компонентами в графике.
В приложении работают механизмы защиты системы от случайного удаления критически важных пакетов.
Это новые механизмы в Альтераторе:

Защита редакции.
Защита ручных установок.

Продвинутым пользователям и системным администраторам оставили возможность отключить эти запреты.


Теперь в инсталляторе можно выбрать установку сертификата ЕСПД (Единая сеть передачи данных). После этого для подключения к защищённой сети образовательного учреждения достаточно прописать прокси-сервер (выданный организации). Это исключает необходимость подключения к обычной (общедоступной) сети и снижает риск ошибок при настройке сертификата вручную.

Обновлены версии приложений

KDE (Plasma 6.5, Frameworks 6.23, Gear 25.12)
Chromium 144.0
Thunderbird 145.0
NetworkManager 1.54
SANE 1.4
TRIK Studio 2025.4

Ubuntu’s Security Center app adds Ubuntu Pro settings

Enabling and managing Ubuntu Pro is getting easier in Ubuntu, as the latest update to the distro’s desktop Security Center app now includes a dedicated Ubuntu Pro panel. Ubuntu 26.04 LTS no longer includes the Software & Updates utility by default (it’s still in the archives, for those who want it). With Ubuntu Pro enablement previously provided in that tool, adding a new GUI method was needed. The desktop Security Center is the local place for that, given that enabling Ubuntu Pro provides security updates for packages in the wider Ubuntu repos (as a side note, if you get bored […]

Опубликована платформа LibreQoS 2.0 для управления и оптимизации трафика

После двух лет разработки доступен выпуск платформы LibreQoS 2.0, предназначенной для организации справедливого распределения имеющейся полосы пропускания между пользователями и снижения негативных эффектов, возникающих из-за промежуточной буферизации пакетов (Bufferbloat) сетевым оборудованием. Платформа может использоваться провайдерами или администраторами частных сетей для оптимизации потоков трафика, поддержания задержек на минимальном уровне и распределения полосы пропускания с учётом приоритетов. Код проекта написан на языках Си, JavaScript, Python и Rust, и распространяется под лицензией GPLv2. Платформа устанавливается на сервер, размещаемый между граничным маршрутизатором провайдера и базовым маршрутизатором локальной сети.
