Sublime Text gains new C# highlighter, file icon themes A new version of Sublime Text is out – the first major update to the cross-platform (and closed-source) text editor since May 2025. Sublime Text v4213 makes Python 3.14 the default (replacing v3.8). The editor still ships Python 3.3 – ancient as it is – but disabled by default. It will be removed in a future update, but sticks around a little longer incase of plugin compatibility issues. New features in this update includes a rewritten C# syntax highlighter, alongside more general, if unspecified, ‘improvements’ to syntax highlighting. Sublime Text also introduces support for file icon themes. These let users […] You're reading Sublime Text gains new C# highlighter, file icon themes, a blog post from OMG! Ubuntu.

Entra ID passkeys become default in 2026 as SMS and voice authentication near retirement Entra ID administrators have two deadlines to prepare for: passkeys will become the default sign-in method beginning September 1, 2026, and Microsoft-provided SMS and voice authentication will retire on February 1, 2027. Organizations should identify affected users now and move them to phishing-resistant authentication before phone-based sign-ins stop working.

GNOME resolves the ‘inappropriate’ screenshot sound Say goodbye to the public thinking you’re a creep next time you take a desktop screenshot on Ubuntu – GNOME 51 has changed the sound effect that plays when you do. For a while now, when you screen grab your desktop or an app window, the accompanying sound effect is a familiar camera shutter, like the one when you take a photo on a smartphone. Cute in the privacy of your own home, but less cute in a public setting like a café. Why? Because it can sound rather creepy, as one bug report from 2024 laid bare: a UI/UX […] You're reading GNOME resolves the ‘inappropriate’ screenshot sound, a blog post from OMG! Ubuntu.

Linux 7.3-rc4 pushes NTFS and SMB work into the spotlight Linux 7.3-rc4 moves the kernel development cycle past its midpoint with an unusually large filesystem workload, following rc3’s XFS and SMB-heavy changes. The latest candidate emphasizes NTFS, SMB, and error-path cleanup, while most individual patches remain relatively small.

Z.ai open-sources ZCode after Git history uploads, plans zero-retention mode Z.ai has released ZCode under the Apache-2.0 license after the coding agent was found packaging workspaces and uploading encrypted archives containing Git histories. The source release makes the client inspectable, but it does not prove what happened to data already sent to Z.ai’s cloud infrastructure; the company is also preparing a zero-data-retention option for its Model-as-a-Service platform.

‍Ubuntu 26.10 полностью переводит Coreutils на Rust и лицензию MIT после аудита и исправления десятков проблем В разрабатываемой Ubuntu 26.10 «Stonking Stingray» завершён переход базовых утилит с GNU Coreutils на написанную на Rust и распространяемую по лицензии MIT реализацию uutils/coreutils. В актуальных release notes Ubuntu 26.10 изменение обозначено как «100% Rust coreutils»: последние остававшиеся GNU-версии cp, mv и rm заменены реализациями uutils. Финальный этап прошёл 17 августа 2026 года, когда в репозиторий Ubuntu вернули Rust-реализацию cp, о чём сообщается в журнале пакетов Ubuntu. Инициатива началась 12 марта 2025 года, когда Canonical представила план «Carefully But Purposefully Oxidising Ubuntu». Главной причиной называлась не производительность, а повышение безопасности базовых компонентов: Rust позволяет на этапе компиляции исключать целые классы ошибок управления памятью, характерных для C и C++. При этом Canonical подчёркивала зрелость существующих реализаций — GNU Coreutils не объявлялись устаревшими или небезопасными, речь шла о долгосрочной модернизации системы.

Steam snap app using Core 26 available for testing Ubuntu gamers can help test a new version of Canonical’s Steam snap that uses a core26 base and updated Mesa graphics drivers. By switching a new testing channel, the Steam snap’s underlying base runtime gets bumped to a version based on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and pulls in a matching gaming-graphics-core26 content snap with newer GPU drivers – and potentially, better performance. To help test, opt in by running snap refresh steam --channel stable/core26 from your terminal. Canonical say to treat the new packages as a beta test, i.e., expect behavioural quirks and bugs.
