    GCC 15 to 'undeprecate' Itanium support - for now
    [16:19] schestowitz[TR2]
    [16:19] schestowitz[TR2]

    Good news, everyone well, everyone who's still onboard the Itanic, anyway. GCC 15 will de-deprecate Linux support for Intel's original 64-bit chip.

    [16:19] schestowitz[TR2]

    The development team of the GNU Compiler Collection has accepted a code patch from hero developer Ren Rebe of Berlin-based ExactCODE, with the crowd-pleasing announcement: [...]

    openSUSE's New Agama Installer Now Supports Leap 16.0 Alpha
    [16:46] schestowitz[TR2]
    [16:46] schestowitz[TR2]

    Agama, the new still-in-development Linux installer from openSUSE, designed with reusability, integration with third-party tools, and the possibility of building advanced user interfaces in mind, released its new version 10, bringing several new features and improvements.

    [16:46] schestowitz[TR2]

    First, the software now has its own dedicated blog, separate from the YaST blog, to avoid confusion between the two tools and clearly communicate their unique purposes. This new space will focus exclusively on Agama updates and news. Now, lets move to the new features that this update brings to the table.

    GNOME OS to Become a General-Purpose Linux Distro?
    [16:47] schestowitz[TR2]
    [16:47] schestowitz[TR2]

    As I write this, I cant shake off a sense of dj vu. And it couldnt be otherwise, given that just yesterday, I published almost the same news, with the same concept behind it, about a new distribution using the same under-the-hood technologies. Namely, about the KDE developers project to create their distribution called (well, are you surprised) KDE Linux.

    [16:47] schestowitz[TR2]

    Now, were seeing a similar idea emerge, but this time, it is about the other leading desktop environment (come on, System76, give us COSMIC finally), GNOME. As youll see in the following lines, this coincidence is anything but random. But lets start a little further.

    KDE's New Distro: Btrfs-Based, Immutable Linux OS, with Flatpak and Snap
    [16:51] schestowitz[TR2]
    [16:51] schestowitz[TR2]

    Surprises never end. The KDE project is about to take a bold step by introducing its own Linux distribution. Heres what its all about.

    [16:51] schestowitz[TR2]

    Introduced at Akademy 2024, KDE Linux (codenamed Project Banana) is a brand-new, still-in-development initiative by the KDE devs to bring a seamless, user-friendly experience that merges KDE softwares reliability and rich interface with cutting-edge Linux technologies.

    Immediately, we want to clarify that this isnt a rebranded version of the well-known KDE Neon [16:51] schestowitz[TR2] developed by the KDE community. KDE Linux is an entirely new project with a completely different technical approach under the hood and ambitious goals for both developers and end users.
