GCC 16 landed as Tumbleweed's new default system compiler in snapshot 0726, triggering a full-repository rebuild that made that snapshot exceptionally large. linux-glibc-devel 7.1 followed in snapshot 0728, alongside the return of multipath-tools 0.15~1 after the previous week's revert. _Developers tracking Tumbleweed rolling changes keep up with snapshots like these on daily.dev._ ### How did KDE fix the KIO slowdown when copying thousands of small files? The fix replaces the socket pair used between KIO workers and applications with a zero-copy in-memory transport, and cuts redundant filesystem checks on the destination. The underlying bug was first filed in 2014, and the work was done by Méven Car. _Teams shipping KDE or Linux desktop apps can follow KIO and Plasma development news on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Planet News Roundup](https://daily.dev/posts/planet-news-roundup-vtkvrrzo5) · openSUSE · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Planet News Roundup](https://daily.dev/posts/planet-news-roundup-83f3mz419) · openSUSE · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Planet News Roundup](https://daily.dev/posts/planet-news-roundup-tefqsy699) · openSUSE · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#opensuse](https://daily.dev/tags/opensuse) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/planet-news-roundup-qm2ckcdwd)
