Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What new hardware support was added in Linux Kernel 7.2? Linux Kernel 7.2 adds HDMI 2.1 support for AMD Radeon GPUs, enables booting Linux on Apple M3 MacBooks for the first time, and turns on Btrfs large folio support by default. It is described as a busy point release with multiple hardware compatibility improvements. _Track kernel release notes like these on daily.dev before rebuilding your Linux setup._ ### Why is PINE64 stopping production of its Linux tablets? PINE64 is halting production of its Linux-based tablets because soaring RAM prices, driven by AI companies bulk-buying memory for data centers, made it impossible to keep pricing reasonable for hobbyist-focused devices. Rising disk and RAM costs tied to AI infrastructure demand are squeezing budget hardware makers. _Follow how AI-driven hardware costs ripple into hobbyist devices via daily.dev._ ### Is Ubuntu actually growing faster on Windows than on native Linux desktops? Not exactly. Canonical's VP of Engineering stated that Ubuntu's growth rate inside WSL is outpacing its growth rate on native desktops, a comparison about relative growth rate rather than absolute usage, which was widely misreported as Ubuntu growing faster on Windows than on Linux itself. Canonical later clarified the original statement. _Cut through misread stats on Ubuntu and WSL adoption trends via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [FOSS Weekly \#26.16: Kernel 7.0, Essential Terminal Tips, France Linux Move, New Age Verification Bill and More](https://daily.dev/posts/foss-weekly-26-16-kernel-7-0-essential-terminal-tips-france-linux-move-new-age-verification-bil-mfduuvp1x) · It's Foss · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [FOSS Weekly \#26.12: GNOME 50 Release, Fedora for Apple, New Ageless Linux, Manjaro Drama and More](https://daily.dev/posts/foss-weekly-26-12-gnome-50-release-fedora-for-apple-new-ageless-linux-manjaro-drama-and-more-tftzpz056) · It's Foss · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/foss-weekly-26-34-stillos-review-kernel-7-2-released-pine-trouble-beautifying-gnome-terminal-m-sq01czcbd)
