GNOME 51 could bring a floating search overlay to the Shell The next version of GNOME Shell, out in September, is likely to include a redesigned search experience. In current versions of the desktop, when you start a search from the GNOME Shell overview, a dedicated search results screen replaces the one you’re looking at, i.e., the workspace row and dash (aka dock). GNOME’s design team has long wanted to adopt a ‘semantic’ layout, whereby search results appear in an overlay that ‘spawns out of the search entry’ box and sits over the screen that triggered it. This concept has been explored and detailed in various mockups over the years. Now, […] You're reading GNOME 51 could bring a floating search overlay to the Shell, a blog post from OMG! Ubuntu.

AI agents are flooding telemetry systems Clint Sharp, co-founder and CEO of Cribble, tells host Alex Kantrowitz that autonomous AI agents are creating a new telemetry crisis for businesses. Companies must monitor agent actions, control security risks, and process far more data without simply multiplying storage and analysis costs.

ChatGPT desktop app is now available for Linux (in preview) OpenAI has announced a preview release of an official ChatGPT Desktop app for Linux. Compared to ChatGPT in a browser tab, the GUI desktop app can do more: run Codex in your local repos, hook into your other apps (via extensions) for handing off ChatGPT Work tasks and probe your local files without you having to upload anything elsewhere first. ChatGPT desktop for Linux joins Anthropic’s Claude desktop app for Linux, which entered beta last month. This announcement is about an official version of its full-fat desktop GUI app. You’ve no doubt seen plenty of unofficial wrappers around ChatGPT before now, […] You're reading ChatGPT desktop app is now available for Linux (in preview), a blog post from OMG!

‍FastFlowLM 1.0 11 августа опубликован FastFlowLM 1.0, первый общий выпуск проекта после его перехода под управление AMD. FastFlowLM представляет собой систему локального запуска больших языковых и мультимодальных моделей на NPU в процессорах AMD Ryzen AI, ориентированную на похожий на Ollama сценарий работы, но с использованием нейропроцессора вместо GPU. Переход имеет для проекта особое значение: 17 июля команда FastFlowLM присоединилась к AMD, а разработка была переведена из FastFlowLM/FastFlowLM в организацию ROCm на GitHub. AMD заявила, что FastFlowLM войдёт в программный стек компании для клиентских систем и рабочих станций с ИИ-ускорителями. При переносе сохранены история репозитория, issues и pull requests, а все последующие выпуски будут публиковаться в ROCm/FastFlowLM. FastFlowLM предназначен для NPU архитектуры AMD XDNA2 и поддерживает семейства Ryzen AI Strix Point, Strix Halo, Kraken Point и Gorgon Point. Проект позволяет запускать на NPU языковые и vision-language модели, модели распознавания речи, embeddings и MoE. Заявлена поддержка контекстного окна вплоть до 256 тыс. токенов для некоторых моделей. Размер самого runtime составляет около 17 МБ.

Linux desktop traffic surges as AI agents reshape the OS landscape Linux desktop traffic reached 22% among likely human visitors on a single Monday, highlighting a sharp workday surge rather than a sudden overnight migration from Windows. Cloudflare’s broader measurements also show Linux gaining ground, partly because AI agents and other automated workloads generate substantial Linux traffic.

‍OpenSSH 10.5 11 августа состоялся выпуск OpenSSH 10.5, свободной реализации протокола SSH 2.0, включающей клиент и сервер SSH, средства SFTP, перенаправления портов, управления ключами и аутентификации. Новый выпуск последовал примерно через пять недель после OpenSSH 10.4 и преимущественно посвящён исправлению проблем безопасности и ошибок. Разработчики отдельно объяснили необычно короткий интервал между выпусками ростом количества поступающих сообщений об уязвимостях, многие из которых обнаружены моделями искусственного интеллекта или при помощи ИИ. Значительная часть таких отчётов после анализа не представляет практической угрозы, однако команда OpenSSH отметила случаи, когда найденная ИИ проблема позднее независимо обнаруживалась другим исследователем. По мнению разработчиков, это указывает на возможность использования подобных средств злоумышленниками, которые не станут сообщать проектам СПО о найденных ошибках. В связи с этим команда намерена пока выпускать исправления чаще, не накапливая их до следующего планового релиза.
