The downside was that the Tellusim Core SKD was rather restrictive in only being free for education, free for companies with less than $200k USD in annual revenue, and evaluation purposes. Or you needed to obtain a negotiated license for the software. As a pleasant surprise, OSI-approved open-source projects not backed by for-profit organizations can now openly use this superb graphics SDK...</description> <pubDate>Mon, 20 Oct 2025 20:27:29 -0400</pubDate> <dc:creator>Michael Larabel</dc:creator> </item> <item> <title>Patches Posted To Allow Hibernation Cancellation On Linux</title> <link>https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-Hibernation-Cancellation</link> <guid>https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-Hibernation-Cancellation</guid> <description>Currently on Linux if you are putting the system into hibernation, there isn't a way to interrupt it and cancel it if you change your mind, even with most systems taking a number of seconds to successfully hibernate.

There is now yet another NTFS file-system driver for Linux. There's long been the read-only NTFS driver in the Linux kernel, the more capable NTFS FUSE driver in user-space, and then in recent years the NTFS3 driver that was upstreamed to the Linux kernel by Paragon Software. NTFS3 offers read/write support and other improvements over the prior kernel driver. Now there is "NTFSPLUS" as a new driver with read/write support and claiming to offer better performance and features than NTFS3...</description> <pubDate>Mon, 20 Oct 2025 06:32:00 -0400</pubDate> <dc:creator>Michael Larabel</dc:creator> </item> <item> <title>Initial Intel Xe3P Graphics Support To Be Submitted For Linux 6.19</title> <link>https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-Xe3P-Starts-Linux-6.19</link> <guid>https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-Xe3P-Starts-Linux-6.19</guid> <description>Earlier this month Intel Linux graphics driver engineers began posting the initial Intel Xe3P graphics enablement code with a focus on the integrated graphics to be found with Nova Lake.

This is a handy addition and the information is automatically reported to the kernel log on the next system boot, but in some instances that information could be stale/inaccurate.

This could let some CPU cores be running real-time "RT" kernels or other non-traditional uses between CPU cores. It wasn't clear how far the multi-kernel patches would get especially with some initial negative views toward it and Bytedance separately proposing "Parker" for multi-kernel usage just days later.
