For the upcoming #transgender awareness week we have designed a new transgender flag cape cow.

Big news today as we announce Architecture Variant support for #Ubuntu!

This change means as of today, users of 25.10 can get access to packages built specifically for amd64v3, with more packages and variants coming soon.

This sets the scene for some excellent performance improvements in #Ubuntu as silicon continues to evolve, without needing to preemptively drop support for older ISA versions.

Introducing architecture variants: amd64v3 now available in Ubuntu 25.10

Ubuntu prides itself on being among the most compatible Linux distributions. Compatibility is often a conscious trade-off against bleeding-edge performance. In Ubuntu 25.10, we have added support for packages that target specific silicon variants, meaning you can have your cake and eat it too! Back in 2023 I wrote an article talking about the history of the amd64/x86-64 architecture and described the ā€œlevelsā€ x86-64-v2, -v3, and -v4 (often referred to as amd64v3, amd64v4, etc.). Since then, we’...

Following the advice from #postmarketOS maintainers, I submitted my nightlight patch to the LKML.
Once it will be accepted, it will become available for all the phones using close-to-mainline kernels, without having to manually add the patch to every repository.

Upstreaming the code to mainline is the only way of supporting hardware in a sustainable way (from the effort point of view), and everyone benefits of our code.

drm/msm/dpu: Add DSPP GC driver to provide GAMMA_LUT DRM property - Patchwork

I just completed my first mainline driver!

My goal was to enable night light on OnePlus 6 using #phosh on #postmarketos.
It was a missing DRM GAMMA_LUT support in the Qualcomm Display Engine (DPU) driver.
I used the downstream kernel as a reference and found the LUT format by trial and error on the phone.

It was a difficult but very rewarding experience.
I pushed the code here https://gitlab.com/sdm845-mainline/linux/-/merge_requests/137#note_2807562800

1) grub REALLY does not like a receipt printer at COM1
2) i have yet to learn if it’s possible to let the kernel think tty1 doesn’t exist, while redirecting the keyboard to ttyS0 input, and let ttyS0 output to be printed onto the receipt printer. do not send information on this topic, i want to sleep.
