Ubuntu confirms the 26.10 codename, and it sounds strange… Ubuntu has announced the codename for Ubuntu 26.10 is “Stonking Stingray”. As codenames go it’s certainly unique. The distro gives each release a codename that pairs an adjective with an animal, the latter of which becomes the release mascot. This tradition dates back to the first Ubuntu release in 2004 (dubbed ‘Warty Warthog’). What does the Ubuntu 26.10 codename mean? Stonking is a strange choice as it’s (to my knowledge) mainly used here in the UK as an informal term for something huge or exceptionally good. Interim (short-term) releases often use colourful codenames (Wiley Werewolf, Disco Dingo, Groovy Gorilla) so […] You're reading Ubuntu confirms the 26.10 codename, and it sounds strange…, a blog post from OMG!

Основные изменения: Исправлена ошибка, вызывавшая «Guru Meditation» с кодом VERR_IEM_IPE_4.

📰 Valve's new Linux VRAM fix almost triples framerates in some games on the 4GB Radeon RX 6500 XT A little while ago, we saw one of Valve's contractors, Natalie Vock, release a new tool that prevents Linux from stealing your VRAM. Beforehand, when Linux had to free up room on your GPU's VRAM and move stuff to the RAM, it had zero context over which blocks of data were assigned to which apps. As such, it had a tendency to boot the game you're playing off the VRAM to help keep that one random Google Chrome window you have open on the GPU's... 🔗 Source: #linux 👉@sysadminoff https://www.xda-developers.com/linuxs-new-vram-saving-feature-almost-triples-the-framerate-in-some-games/
