So where has the last six months gone?

I know this has been much awaited because of all the queries on the various forums and direct to me so here we are the first Fedora image that can run a native userspace with a Fedora kernel with some enablement patches.

As everyone probably knows rust is considered a great language for secure programming and hence a lot of people are looking at it for everything from low level firmware to GPU drivers.

NVIDIA has just released the Jetpack 6 for the NVIDIA Jetson Orin hardware.

Mesa, the open source low level graphics stack, has featured support for Open Compute Language (OpenCL) for some time via a front end called Clover.

Fedora uses NetworkManager as the default for managing all the various different types of network.

One of my little maker projects has a need for a battery powered micro controller, some DIY to clean up some old equipment and some basic HW design.

The fabulous fwupdmgr provides the ability to easily update firmware that is published to Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS) but it can also be used to apply updates that aren’t necessarily in LVFS.

There’s been the starting pieces of hardware video offload with the stateless engine support for some time and it now supports at least H264/HEVC/VP8/VP9/mepg2 decode offload depending on the hardware capabilities.

So chatting with a colleague about some git tricks this week I discovered that not everyone was aware you could change the bash prompt to give certain git status, such as branch, and things like if you’re in merge/am/bisect modes etc.
