The LVFS is ending the free ride for hardware vendors by requiring contributions to keep the service sustainable and high quality. AMD finally pushed HDMI 2.1 patches to the kernel, likely a move to prepare for upcoming Steam Machines. There is a new ~/Projects directory standard arriving in xdg-user-dirs to help organize code and hardware designs. Finally, Focusrite is working with Linux developers to ensure day one support for the ISA C8X audio interface.

This week we talk about KDE wanting to push Plasma 6.8 into Wayland only territory. We also look at the rough edges that will probably still poke users and how long X11 might hang on before it finally gets kicked out. Venn checked out the ZimaBlade 7700 DIY NAS kit with its swappable RAM and actual PCIe slot. There is a quick bit on Linux Kernel 6.18 and its updates for gaming storage and hardware. And for dessert the 1 GB Raspberry Pi 5 shows up as the cheaper option right as RAM prices decide to climb again.
