Ubuntu's Security Center app adds Ubuntu Pro settings

Enabling Ubuntu Pro on Ubuntu is getting easier, with the latest update to the distro's desktop Security Center app adding a dedicated panel. Currently, you can enrol and manage Ubuntu Pro for long-term support (LTS) versions of Ubuntu via the Software & Updates tool or the command-line. As Ubuntu 26.04 LTS will not include the Software & Updates utility by default (it's still in the archives, for those who want it), a new graphical way to configure Ubuntu Pro enablement is needed. And the desktop Security Center, introduced in Ubuntu 24.10, is the logical place to put it as Ubuntu [...]

Pine64 teases PineTime Pro with AMOLED, GPS and 'custom' chip

It's been nearly 7 years since Pine64 (remember them?) introduced the PineTime (remember that?), a FOSS-friendly smartwatch priced under $30 and aimed at tech tinkerers and open hardware hackers. Now, it's time for take two. Revealed in a community update recapping its activities at FOSDEM 2026, Pine64 has announced an updated version is on the way, with an AMOLED display, built-in GPS, blood oxygen sensing and a rotating digital crown (with an extra button). The new Pro model will use what Pine64 says it a "custom chip", although it doesn't provide further detail. The original PineTime was built around a [...]

Firefox 149 brings free VPN, tab splits and better Linux integration

The Firefox 149 update is now rolling out to users, adding a new split view feature, a free built-in VPN and a welcome Linux-specific change. Split View in Firefox lets you view two web pages side-by-side inside a single browser window, which is a cleaner approach than how you might have been doing this previously, i.e., snapping two separate browser windows against each other. With Split View (versus the old method) all your tabs stay together, there's no duplicated window chrome eating up screen space and closing or rearranging the split won't disturb the rest of your browsing session (no [...]

Ubuntu 26.04's new folder icons undergo another revamp

The redesigned folder icons for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS have been redesigned again, albeit slightly. A big Yaru theme update hit Ubuntu 26.04 LTS last week, delivering a set of colourful new directory icons to development desktops (alongside other theme changes, like consistent radii and bolder text in UI elements and no dock transparency by default). It swapped Yaru's slate folder icons for squatter, full-colour glyphs that reflect the system accent colour wholly. They also use an engraved treatment for standard XDG directories emblems, like Music, Pictures and Downloads. However, feedback on the new set indicated that the folder colour contrast [...]
