Summary CachyOS overtook Arch Linux on ProtonDB after ~2 years of growth. ProtonDB reports measure reports about Proton performance, not overall distro quality. The chart excludes the Steam Deck and separates both Arch and SteamOS desktop reports. Gaming on Linux is no longer the joke it used to be. Once relegated to the world of professional use and nothing else, gaming support on the open-source operating system has been gradually growing over the past few years, and it has gotten to the point where some people claim that Linux runs their games better than Windows does. However, over on ProtonDB,…

Ravie LakshmananMar 13, 2026Linux / Vulnerability Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed multiple security vulnerabilities within the Linux kernel’s AppArmor module that could be exploited by unprivileged users to circumvent kernel protections, escalate to root, and undermine container isolation guarantees. The nine confused deputy vulnerabilities have been collectively codenamed CrackArmor by the Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU). The cybersecurity company said the issue has existed since 2017. No CVE identifiers have been assigned to the shortcomings. AppArmor is a Linux security module that provides mandatory access control (MAC) and secures the operating system against external or internal threats by preventing known and…
Thanks to the nature of my job, I’ve bounced between Apple and Android phones for years. For a while, I was walking around with both, and for the most part, either side of the fence was just fine. It was more a matter of preference than clear superiority. For a brief while, in the shuffle, I daily-drove an iPhone exclusively. This was also just fine. I prefer Android, but there was nothing in particular holding me back on iOS. Except, the lack of any form of split view or split screen function ground my gears on a daily basis. Related…
Robert Triggs / Android AuthorityTL;DR Qualcomm confirmed that fixes for the GBL exploit were provided to Android device makers earlier this month. The exploit, discovered by Xiaomi ShadowBlade Security Lab, was a key component in unlocking bootloaders on Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 phones. While Qualcomm recommends immediately updating phones as soon as security updates are available, these security patches will effectively close the loophole used for bootloader unlocking. We recently reported on the new Qualcomm GBL exploit, which was chained with other exploits to unlock the bootloaders of several Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 flagship phones. Qualcomm has now…
Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware in 2023 set off a wave of migrations that shows no signs of subsiding. But moving from VMware to another hypervisor may introduce significant technical and operational risks. IT teams must prepare for challenges that are not always apparent at the start of a migration. Price hikes, licensing changes and shifts in customer support have driven VMware customers to look for alternatives. Recent operational problems haven’t helped. Last year, VMware Workstation auto-updates failed due to a Broadcom URL redirect. In 2026, the migration continues. Gartner research VP Julia Palmer recently predicted that VMware would lose 35%…
We may earn a commission from links on this page. MacBook used to be largely repairable, upgradable things. If too many tabs slowed down macOS, you could add more RAM; if you ran out of storage, you could install a larger hard drive; if the battery was old, you could easily replace it. But as Apple—and the industry at large—chased thinner and sleeker designs, laptops in general became harder to work on. Companies started soldering all components together onto the board, which made it possible to produce thin and light machines, but made it impossible to upgrade them, and wildly…
On Thursday, Onyx Security announced its launch with $40 million in funding from Conviction and Cyberstarts to control and secure autonomous agents. Founded by Israeli defense veterans Bar Kogan and Gil Elbaz, Onyx Security has built a secure AI control plane that allows organizations to manage AI agents and rapidly adopt them across their environments. The solution was designed to continuously discover AI agents across cloud, endpoints, code, and SaaS deployments, to monitor them, and to approve or correct their actions, enforcing the enterprise’s security and governance policies. Onyx uses supervisory agents and proprietary AI models to understand AI reasoning…
If you’ve spend any meaningful time inside ChatGPT—brainstorming ideas, planning schedules, organizing your thoughts—you’ve probably felt the friction of having to move all that work into a separate tool afterward. But what if you didn’t have to? What if ChatGPT, apart from helping you tackle your projects and tasks, could also help you manage them? With a bit of creative use of the available in-app features, I’ve made ChatGPT do just that. Here’s how I transformed ChatGPT into a full-fledged project management system (PMS). How to use ChatGPT as a project management system It’s simpler than it sounds, and more…
