System76 Refreshes Serval WS Linux Laptop with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU

Linux hardware vendor System76 announced today a refreshed version of its Serval WS laptop featuring important upgrades for engineering and gaming.

Powered by the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU featuring 24 cores and threads, the new Serval WS laptop features a brand-new 16-inch display with 2560x1600 (2K) resolution, 240Hz refresh rate, and 16:10 aspect ratio, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics, up to 96GB of DDR5 5600 MHz RAM, and up to 12TB PCIe 5.0 and 4.0 storage.

The new Serval WS laptop also features 2.5 GbE Ethernet, WiFi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, a multitouch touchpad, a multi-color backlit chiclet US QWERTY keyboard, Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI (with HDCP) video ports, a 5.0MP HD camera, a 2-in-1 audio Jack for headphone and microphone, and a microSD card reader.

As with all of System76's laptops, the new Serval WS comes pre-installed with the company's in-house Pop!_OS Linux 22.04 LTS distribution based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, or with the newer Ubuntu 24.04 LTS operating system. System76 is still working on the upcoming COSMIC desktop environment written in Rust and Pop!_OS Linux 24.04 LTS.

[su_quote]"System76 is working on COSMIC, their new open source desktop environment created for Pop!_OS. COSMIC is soon entering the beta phase. Once cleared for release, users can look forward to more battery life, cooler temperatures, more features, and an overall intuitive software experience," said System76.[/su_quote]

You can configure and buy the new Serval WS Linux laptop right now from System76's online store. The price starts from $2,999 USD for the basic configuration with 32 GB DDR5 5600 MHz RAM and 1 TB PCIe4 SSD storage. Shipping will begin in late May 2025.

Linux Mint 22.2 Codenamed “Zara”, LMDE 7 Will be Called “Gigi”

Linux Mint leader Clement Lefebvre revealed today the codename of the next release of the popular, Ubuntu-based Linux Mint distribution, Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara”, along with the codename for LMDE 7.

Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara” will be based on Canonical’s long-term supported Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) operating system series, just like the Linux Mint 22 series. The Linux Mint project leader also unveiled the codename of the upcoming LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) 7 distribution as "Gigi".

While Linux Mint 22.2 will pretty much look and feel exactly like Linux Mint 22.1 "Xia", the team plans to improve the default Mint-Y theme by adding a little bit of blue to "make grey slightly more metallic looking and appear more modern", according to Clement Lefebvre.

[su_quote]"Pure grey is neutral, it can be perceived as cold or warm based on its surroundings. By bumping the blue we force it to look cold," said Clement Lefebvre. "Another reason this makes the UI look more modern is because this is done a lot nowadays, but it wasn’t done so much 10 years ago. Like with all new trends, sticking to past standards can make things feel outdated."[/su_quote]

Also for Linux Mint 22.2, the devs plan to add support for accent colors to the XDG Desktop Portal XApp to change the accent color in Flatpak libAdwaita applications based on your current GTK theme. This is supposed to work not only in the flagship Cinnamon edition, but also on the MATE and Xfce editions. In addition, they added support for libAdwaita stylesheets in the Mint-X and Mint-Y themes.

Linux Mint 22.2 "Zara" will probably be released in June or July 2025. It will probably still be powered by Linux kernel 6.8, just like its predecessors, Linux Mint 22.1 and Linux Mint 22. However, since Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS comes with Linux kernel 6.11 from Ubuntu 24.10, users will be able to install the newer kernel if they want to.

Fwupd 2.0.9 Linux Firmware Updater Adds Support for Intel Arc ‘Battlemage’ GPUs

Fwupd 2.0.9 is out today as the ninth maintenance update to the latest fwupd 2.0 release of this open-source Linux firmware update utility with support for more devices, new features, and bug fixes.

Coming a month after fwupd 2.0.8, this release introduces support for Intel Arc 'Battlemage' GPUs, the ability to allow installing multiple database certificate updates at the same time, support for showing what certificate signed the EFI authenticated variable, new documentation about updating the KEK and database, as well as the ability to use readline to look up inputs from user, and make it optional.

Fwupd 2.0.9 also adds several devices with broken firmware to the UEFI dbx blocklist, revamps the MEI code to allow devices to use multiple interfaces, rewrites the ModemManger plugin to be simpler and more supportable, simplifies the parsing of USB descriptors, and includes more output when using the fwupdtool get-devices --json command.

On top of that, this release also fixes a crash that occurred when installing some Wacom firmware types, a crash that occurred when parsing uevents that aren't KEY=VALUE, a parsing issue with the DFU descriptor when not using the libusb library, a PK and KEK enumeration failure on some systems, and SMBIOS parsing for ROM sizes equal to or larger than 16MiB.

Starting with this release, fwupd no longer enumerates non-updatable OptionROM devices, no longer exports Redfish backup partitions as devices, includes a resolution for more of the HSI failures, no longer allows updating updatable-hidden devices with the fwupdtool command.

It also now requires a reboot after updating Intel CVS devices, properly constructs the authenticated URI when using FirmwareBaseURI, recognizes very old dbx hashes to allow upgrades, and properly handles Redfish location redirects when installing firmware.

Check out the release notes on the project’s GitHub page for more details about the changes included in fwupd 2.0.9, which you can download as a source tarball from the same location. Of course, it is recommended that you install fwupd from the stable software repositories of your GNU/Linux distribution.
