📰 CachyOS just shipped Linux 7.0, and it has some extra performance tweaks added to the mix After a few worrying release candidates, Linus released the Linux 7.0 kernel a few days ago. While there seemed to be more bug fixes than usual during the preview builds, Linus felt that the changes were small enough not to warrant a delay. He also believes the increase in fixes was due to AI assistants getting better at finding problems in the code, which is valid. 🔗 Source: https://www.xda-developers.com/cachyos-just-shipped-linux-70-and-it-has-some-extra-performance-tweaks-added-to-the-mix/ #kernel#linux

📰 These 4 free open-source apps fix what Google left broken on my Pixel phone Google’s Pixel lineup represents the pinnacle of Android, refined by years of software iteration. Unfortunately, the company may have lost focus on the core pillars of the user experience recently. Every year's Pixel experience seems incrementally better than the last, with most of the hardware bits like the camera sensors, shared, and AI tricks doing the heavy lifting. This makes Pixel devices resemble an on-ramp for Google's subscriptions more... 🔗 Source: https://www.xda-developers.com/free-open-source-apps-fix-google-pixel-phone-basics/ #android#opensource

📰 Type with your voice on Linux using this Whisper-based app Your mouth can say things faster than your hands can type them, yet voice typing is rarely used as a primary input method on desktop (most of us think nothing of it on mobile). That’s despite speech-to-text being available on desktop OSes for decades, natively and through dedicated apps. It never caught on because it was inaccurate and slow (and because what you do at a keyboard is less efficient to speak, but that’s a separate point). 🔗 Source: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/04/speed-of-sound-linux-voice-typing-app #linux
