SUSE is advancing enterprise Linux with Agama 17, a modern web-based installer replacing YaST for SLE 16.0, featuring Wayland, SELinux, improved storage management, and auto-installation for efficient deployments. This aligns with cloud-native trends, promising faster setups and enhanced security. Challenges like user retraining persist, but Agama's evolution could redefine OS management.
Linux kernel developers are proposing to enable architecture-optimized BLAKE2s cryptographic hash by default, eliminating manual configuration for improved performance. Led by Eric Biggers, this leverages hardware like SIMD for faster, secure hashing over MD5/SHA-1. It promises efficiency gains, especially for embedded and mobile systems.
