In 2026, the Linux kernel advances security through Greg Kroah-Hartman's insights on vulnerability management, CVE assignments, and Rust integration for memory safety. Community efforts include swift patches, eBPF enhancements, and collaborations, ensuring robust protection for critical infrastructure. These innovations position Linux as a resilient foundation amid evolving threats.

NVIDIA is getting ready to offer native support for GeForce Now on Linux distributions. The information comes directly from the company itself, according to VideoCardz, although no specific date for the update has been shared yet. Still, this is great news for users of the subscription-based game streaming service on the open-source operating system.
It’s worth noting that NVIDIA already made sure GeForce Now works well on the Steam Deck, which uses SteamOS based on Linux. However, this upcoming update will expand full native support to Linux as a whole, making it much easier for users to access the service.

A new feature being worked on recently for the AMDKFD kernel compute driver is batch user pointer "userptr" allocation support. With this new user-space API it will become possible to support allocating multiple non-contiguous CPU virtual address ranges that map to a single contiguous GPU virtual address.

Building off a prior patch series, today the second iteration of this batch userptr allocation support was posted while now foregoing any changes needed to the Shared Virtual Memory (SVM) subsystem as well as improved Heterogeneous Memory Management (HMM) integration as well as taking a better design approach.
