Ubuntu 25.10 to drop support for GNOME on Xorg
Jean Baptiste Lallement, a member of Canonical's desktop team, has announced that Ubuntu will drop support for GNOME on X11 in the 25.10 ("Questing Quokka") release set for October. GNOME plans to remove X11 support in GNOME 49, which is scheduled for September, so Ubuntu is looking to be proactive:
Ubuntu 25.10 is the last interim release before our next LTS (Ubuntu 26.04). By moving now, we give developers and users a full cycle to adapt before the next LTS, align with GNOME 49 and reduce fragmentation while simplifying our support matrix heading into the LTS.Fedora decided in early May to drop X11 support for GNOME in Fedora 43, which is also due in October.

20 Years of the Open Invention Network
The central feature of the OIN community is a patent cross-license that covers core Open Source functionality and expands in parallel with the growth of Open Source technology. As growth in Open Source has accelerated, OIN has proactively expanded the scope of the OIN license's benefit by including more than 4,500 software components and platforms in its Linux System definition, which comprises the list of Open Source code and associated functionality in OIN's patent cross-license.
LWN's first look at OIN was this article by Pamela Jones in late 2005.
Three stable kernel updates
Note that this is the end of the line for the 6.14.x updates; Greg Kroah-Hartman explains the timing of this move:
If you notice, this has happened a bit more "early" than previous end-of-life announcements. Normally, after -rc1 is out there is a TON of stable patches happening due to the changes that come into the merge-window that were marked for stable backports but didn't get into Linus's release before -final. As some people have objected to this large influx being added to a stable kernel that is just about to go end-of-life, let's try marking this end-of-life a bit earlier to see how it goes.

[$] The second half of the 6.16 merge window
The 6.16 merge window closed on June 8, as expected, containing 12,899 non-merge commits. This is slightly more than the 6.15 merge window, but well in line with expectations. 7,353 of those were merged after the summary of the first half of the merge window was written. More detailed statistics can be found in the LWN kernel source database.
[$] Improving Fedora's documentation
At Flock, Fedora's annual developer conference, held in Prague from June 5 to June 8, two members of the Fedora documentation team, Petr Bokoč and Peter Boy, led a session on the state of Fedora documentation. The pair covered a brief history of the project's documentation since the days of Fedora Core 1, challenges the documentation team faces, as well as plans to improve Fedora's documentation by enticing more people to contribute.
Dave Airlie (blogspot): radv: vulkan VP9 video decode
The Vulkan WG has released VK_KHR_video_decode_vp9. I did initial work on a Mesa extensions for this a good while back, and I've updated the radv code with help from AMD and Igalia to the final specification.
There is an open MR[1] for radv to add support for vp9 decoding on navi10+ with the latest firmware images in linux-firmware. It is currently passing all VK-GL-CTS tests for VP9 decode.
Adding this decode extension is a big milestone for me as I think it now covers all the reasons I originally got involved in Vulkan Video as signed off, there is still lots to do and I'll stay involved, but it's been great to see the contributions from others and how there is a bit of Vulkan Video community upstream in Mesa.

FreeBSD laptop support update
The FreeBSD Foundation has announced a report for work completed in April to improve FreeBSD support for laptops. This includes installer updates, improved suspend/resume behavior, as well as progress on a port of Linux 6.7 and 6.8 graphics drivers to drm-kmod. A roadmap for the FreeBSD laptop work is also available.
