The Faster CPython project has been working to speed up the Python interpreter for the past several years. Now, Ken Jin, a member of the project, has merged a new set of changes that have been benchmarked as improving performance by 10% for some architectures. The only change is switching from using computed goto statements to using tail calls as part of the implementation of Python's bytecode interpreter — but that change allows modern compilers to generate significantly better code.

Security updates have been issued by Fedora (crun, gnutls, libtasn1, and openssl), Mageia (emacs, gnutls, iniparser, kernel, kmod-virtualbox, kmod-xtables-addons, kernel-linus, krb5, libxml2, and vim), Slackware (tigervnc and xorg), SUSE (libprotobuf-lite28_3_0 and Maven), and Ubuntu (dropbear, kernel, libxml2, linux, linux-lowlatency, linux-lowlatency-hwe-6.8, linux, linux-lts-xenial, linux-aws-5.4 linux-raspi-5.4, linux-gcp, linux-gke, linux-gkeop, linux-ibm, linux-nvidia, linux-nvidia-6.8, linux-nvidia-lowlatency, linux-raspi, ProFTPD, python-virtualenv, rails, and xorg-server, xwayland).

ArcoLinux (previously known as ArchMerge) is a distribution based on Arch Linux. The development takes places in three branches - ArcoLinux, ArcoLinuxD and ArcoLinuxB. ArcoLinux is a full-featured distribution that ships with the Xfce desktop (as well as Openbox and i3 window managers). ArcoLinuxD is a minimal distribution that includes scripts that enable power users to install any desktop and application. ArcoLinuxB is a project that gives users the power to build custom distributions, while also developing several community editions with pre-configured desktops, such as Awesome, bspwm, Budgie, Cinnamon, Deepin, GNOME, MATE and KDE Plasma. ArcoLinux also provides various video tutorials as it places strong focus on learning and acquiring Linux skills.

Orbit is an open-source platform built to streamline large-scale Nuclei scans, enabling teams to manage, analyze, and collaborate on security findings. It features a SvelteKit-based web frontend and a Go-powered backend, with Terraform and Ansible handling infrastructure and automation.

The conversation around the merging of a set of Rust abstractions for the kernel's DMA-mapping layer has mostly settled after Linus Torvalds made it clear that the code would be accepted. One other consequence of this decision, though, is that Christoph Hellwig has quietly stepped down from the maintenance of the DMA-mapping code. Marek Szyprowski will be the maintainer of that layer going forward. Hellwig has maintained that code for many years; his contributions will be missed.

Starting with the openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshot 20250211, which is the latest ISO release at the moment of writing, AppArmor has been replaced with SELinux, a Linux kernel security module that supports access control security policies, including mandatory access control (MAC).

The Linux kernel supports attaching BPF programs to many operations. This is generally safe because the BPF verifier ensures that BPF programs can't misuse kernel resources, run indefinitely, or otherwise escape their boundaries. There is continuing tension, however, between trying to expand the capabilities of BPF programs and ensuring that the verifier can handle every edge case. On February 14, Juntong Deng shared a proof-of-concept patch set that adds some run-time checks to BPF to make it possible in the future to interrupt a running BPF program.
