Linux News RoundUp Week of Aug 11th
This week in Linux:
• Story 1 — Intel Linux driver fallout: coretemp (CPU temperature) now unmaintained, more Intel drivers orphaned, and what that means for thermal safety + future kernels.
• Story 2 — Kernel bundle: 6.17-rc1 lands, EFI boot cleanups, turbostat L3 topology, and why we’re bundling kernel news to keep things tight.
• Story 3 — Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara” public beta (an update to Mint 22), what’s new & why desktop folks should care.
• Story 4 — GNOME 49: lock-screen media controls and display/backlight improvements.
• Story 5 — Tails 7.0 enters public testing (based on Debian 13 / GNOME 48).
• Story 6 (AI bundle) — ONLYOFFICE adds cloud AI; GNOME explores AI; IntelliJ IDEA 2025.2 ships offline AI code completion; Firefox’s experimental AI feature faces battery-drain backlash.
• Story 7 — Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite lean further into immutable desktop ideas (a little Clear Linux DNA showing).
A couple of surprises at the end.

I would like to use this channel to give back to the community what I have learned from others. I cover a wide range of topics on computing technology from Home Server setup on a budget, Linux for general use (workstation, server and development), High P...
