The libcamera project has released version 0.7, bringing early GPU acceleration to its software image signal processor. The update significantly boosts performance on Linux systems lacking dedicated hardware ISP support, marking a major step forward for open-source camera stacks.

The Asahi Linux project has achieved an early milestone by booting Linux to the KDE Plasma desktop on Apple M3 hardware. While the breakthrough demonstrates foundational progress, major challenges—particularly around GPU acceleration and hardware support—remain before Apple’s latest Macs can deliver a practical Linux experience.
