The effect, reminiscent of Windows Aero, will be subtle by default but configurable — users can make it more pronounced or disable it entirely. It is being built into the COSMIC compositor and libcosmic toolkit and is described as getting close to release. 57 5 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/gnome-file-previewer-finally-switches-to-gtk4-adds-dark-mode-zyxvo1b0m "GNOME File Previewer Finally Switches TO GTK4, Adds Dark Mode") Article Phoronix · 14w GNOME File Previewer Finally Switches TO GTK4, Adds Dark Mode GNOME Sushi, the file previewer companion to the Nautilus file manager, has been updated to use the GTK4 toolkit during the GNOME 51 development cycle. The update also brings initial dark mode support, nicer floating toolbars, Blueprint and Glycin usage, and improved layouts for several file type previewers. 28 2 3. 3 [](https://daily.dev/posts/reading-proc-filesystems-is-surprisingly-done-very-often-now-as-much-as-444-faster-budl1hkhp "Reading /proc/filesystems Is Surprisingly Done Very Often & Now As Much As 444% Faster") Article Phoronix · 13w Reading /proc/filesystems Is Surprisingly Done Very Often & Now As Much As 444% Faster The Linux 7.2 kernel includes a significant optimization for /proc/filesystems, delivering up to 444% faster reads. The improvement was motivated by the surprising frequency with which this file is accessed — primarily because libselinux reads it and is linked into many common programs, including sed. The optimization involves pre-generating and caching the /proc/filesystems string, RCU-ifying the filesystem list to eliminate reference counting overhead on open/close, and cleaning up a hand-rolled linked list. The change was authored by Christian Brauner and merged by Linus Torvalds. 27 4. 4 [](https://daily.dev/posts/xfce-ported-to-rust-written-redox-os-for-better-x11-experience-ehlczlu61 "Xfce Ported To Rust-Written Redox OS For Better X11 Experience") Article Phoronix · 14w Xfce Ported To Rust-Written Redox OS For Better X11 Experience Redox OS, the open-source Rust-based operating system, received several notable improvements in May. Developer Wildan Mubarok ported Xfce to Redox OS to provide a better X11 experience, as it proved more stable than the MATE desktop environment. Other highlights include the EEVDF scheduler implementation, a 4x performance improvement for I/O event wait, massive performance gains for RedoxFS inode handling, incremental compilation support in pre-built packages, a Rust compiler update, and the COSMIC Monitor app being ported as Redox's first graphical system monitor. 21 2 5. 5 [](https://daily.dev/posts/experimental-reverse-engineered-ai-assisted-rust-driver-targets-modern-displaylink-hardware-mrqlac4dv "Experimental, Reverse-Engineered & AI Assisted Rust Driver Targets Modern DisplayLink Hardware") Article Phoronix · 12w Experimental, Reverse-Engineered & AI Assisted Rust Driver Targets Modern DisplayLink Hardware A developer named Mike Lothian has posted an experimental in-kernel Rust DRM driver called 'Vino' for modern DisplayLink DL3 USB docks, such as the Dell Universal Dock D6000\. The driver is a clean-room, reverse-engineered alternative to DisplayLink's official out-of-tree kernel driver and proprietary user-space daemon. Notably, it was written in part using Claude Code with the Opus 4.8 model. The project aims to eventually be upstreamed into the mainline Linux kernel once the necessary Rust prerequisites are in place. 17 2 [See all Phoronix archives](/sources/phoronix/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/phoronix/best-of/2026/06#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/phoronix/best-of/2026/06","name":"Best Phoronix Posts — June 2026","description":"The most upvoted Phoronix posts from June 2026, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/phoronix/best-of/2026/06#items","numberOfItems":5,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/cosmic-desktop-s-frosted-glass-is-giving-windows-aero-vibes-umnnf8wi0","name":"COSMIC Desktop's Frosted Glass Is Giving Windows Aero Vibes"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/gnome-file-previewer-finally-switches-to-gtk4-adds-dark-mode-zyxvo1b0m","name":"GNOME File Previewer Finally Switches TO GTK4, Adds Dark Mode"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/reading-proc-filesystems-is-surprisingly-done-very-often-now-as-much-as-444-faster-budl1hkhp","name":"Reading /proc/filesystems Is Surprisingly Done Very Often & Now As Much As 444% Faster"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/xfce-ported-to-rust-written-redox-os-for-better-x11-experience-ehlczlu61","name":"Xfce Ported To Rust-Written Redox OS For Better X11 Experience"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/experimental-reverse-engineered-ai-assisted-rust-driver-targets-modern-displaylink-hardware-mrqlac4dv","name":"Experimental, Reverse-Engineered & AI Assisted Rust Driver Targets Modern DisplayLink Hardware"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Phoronix","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/phoronix"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/phoronix/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"June 2026"}]}]} ```
