We're back again, a little jet lagged, and ready for fun! Up first is a mind-bending experiment to run VMs through a kernel reboot, followed by Ubuntu's new approach to kernel updates. There's a clever security flaw in inotify, another group working on Apple hardware Linux, and some divisive news about the Raspberry Pi. KDE's AI discussion blew up, Stema has a new streaming codec, and VLC and SPEC have updates worth talking about. For tips, we have the Starling Desktop, zoxide to spice up your cd life, lltag for managing audio metadata, and pstree for a tree view of processes.

This week Jonathan starts out talking about his new Framework 13 pro, and Rob tries to convince him to buy a Steam Frame to go with it. The 7.4 kernel is really shaping up to be special, with huge wins in build time, AMD HDMI support, Google finally dropping its legacy binder code, and files opening significantly faster. Ubuntu is continuing to push into Rust coreutils, KaOS is trying to manage a SystemD-free existence, and Intel is done paying out bug bounties. For tips, we have excise for a TUI disk usage visualizer, snoopy for watching what your system is really up to, and a quick primer on .pc files.
