Over at Tux Machines...

Tux Machines reports that Linus Torvalds announced the first Release Candidate of Linux kernel 7.3 for public testing, and that DXVK 3.1, a Vulkan-based implementation of D3D9, D3D10, and D3D11 for Linux/Wine, is now available with new features and game improvements. The site also highlights Debian's decision to tolerate LLM-generated content (termed 'slop') in its project, which critics say undermines integrity, and notes GNU/Linux desktop usage measured at about 7% in Portugal.
