video: https://youtu.be/CVkZvrh7qpw [https://youtu.be/CVkZvrh7qpw] Ubuntu is shipping a kernel that can make certain AMD workloads up to 42 times slower. Linus Torvalds is drawing clearer boundaries around AI-generated code in the kernel. Secure Boot just passed a major certificate expiration deadline. COSMIC Desktop 1.3 brings a polished new Frosted Glass design. And one developer decided to add another place and that's a Sega Genesis from 1994. All of this and more on This Week in Linux.
