Future of Ubuntu MATE

✇LWN
Par : jzb

Thomas Ward has published an update about the future of the Ubuntu MATE project, which did not have a 26.04 release with the other Ubuntu flavors in April:

There is a new team working on Ubuntu MATE who have stepped up to help take over flavor management. They haven't formally introduced themselves yet, but I can safely say that other developers HAVE stepped up for the future of the MATE flavor, despite its prior team lead having stepped down.

[...] Ultimately, this means that they are working to cover the missed items and gaps, and may quite possibly have a 26.10 release in October of 2026, which I believe they most likely are targeting.

This also means that bugs in the MATE environment and in packages they normally would have shipped had they have a 26.04 release are still going to get attention and fixes. So, effectively, nothing has changed. The only difference is that there was no 26.04 installer image released.

For those looking to install a MATE desktop on a "clean" install of Ubuntu 26.04, Ward suggests installing Ubuntu Server and then installing the ubuntu-mate-desktop package.

Claude Fable 5 : Anthropic libère sa première IA de niveau Mythos, et évoque un modèle mystérieux

[$] Eliminating long-lived credentials with trusted publishing

✇LWN
Par : jzb

Trusted publishing is an authentication mechanism that relies on short-lived credentials to reduce the risk of supply-chain attacks. At the 2026 Open Source Summit North America, Mike Fiedler walked the audience through why trusted publishing exists, how it works, and made the case for its adoption. It is not a silver bullet against all attacks, but it does offer protection against theft of long-lived credentials used to publish to package registries.

Asahi Linux warns users not to upgrade to macOS 27 beta

The Asahi Linux project, which brings Linux support to Apple Arm-based Macs, has warned its users not to upgrade to the macOS 27 "Golden Gate" beta.

Apple has changed how the boot picker and Startup Disk applications detect valid OS boot volumes. When using either from macOS 27, your Asahi partition will not be visible! We believe this to be a bug, and have filed a report (FB22994760).

If you have already upgraded to the beta and noticed that your Asahi partition has disappeared, do not stress. Your Asahi partition is still there, and you have not lost any data.

The Asahi Linux installer has been patched to prevent use with macOS 27 for now, but any users already bitten by the change will need to use macOS 26 to restore access to Asahi Linux.

« Ce n’est pas à eux de décider » : l’Europe part en guerre contre Apple sur le blocage de Siri AI

Alors qu’Apple accuse l’Union européenne de freiner le lancement de son nouveau Siri en Europe, la Commission européenne nous a répondu le 9 juin 2026. Pour celle-ci, le problème ne vient pas du DMA, mais du refus d’Apple d’ouvrir à ses concurrents les mêmes accès qu’à son propre assistant. Une réponse qui risque de ne rien arranger.

[$] BPF loop verification with scalar evolution

✇LWN
Par : daroc

The BPF verifier has, in the course of wrestling with the difficult problem of statically analyzing loops, grown special support for many kinds of loops over its history, but its fundamental approach to simple for loops has not changed. When it encounters a loop, it evaluates it, iteration by iteration, until reaching an exit condition — a process that can cause the verifier to mistakenly hit the limit on the number of allowed instructions where a better implementation would not. Eduard Zingerman spoke at the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit about his in-progress work on improving the verifier's treatment of loops, especially nested loops.

Linux App Summit 2026 (Heise)

✇LWN
Par : corbet
Heise is carrying a report from the Linux App Summit, held in Berlin in May.

The slightly more than a dozen talks were symbolically framed between the opening keynote by systemd creator Lennart Poettering and the closing talk by Jorge Castro, initiator of the Universal Blue project, from which the modern Linux systems Bluefin and Bazzite emerged. Both Castro and Poettering call for a fundamental rethink of how Linux operating systems are delivered but pursue different approaches.
