A male emperor penguin, named Gus, stands on a scale after being discovered on a beach near the town of Denmark in southwestern Australia, thousands of kilometres from his home on Antarctica. An emperor penguin has never been reported in Australia before, and this is possibly the furthest north that the species has ever been seen

@tuxedocomputers relicensed all full inhouse code in their driver package to GPLv2+ : https://gitlab.com/tuxedocomputers/development/packages/tuxedo-drivers/-/commit/dd34594ab880ed477bb75725176c3fb9352a07eb 👍

They are working on doing the same for the remaining drivers.

They also submitted a updated version of the patchset making the #Linux #Kernel's module loader treat some of the modules as proprietary; the list of modules handled that way is much shorter now:

Auto Accent Colour GNOME Shell Extension

For a pinch more personalisation of Ubuntu 24.10 check out Auto Accent Colour, a new GNOME Shell extension that changes the system accent colour based on your current desktop wallpaper. Accent colours are a headline feature in GNOME 47, although not new to Ubuntu users since Ubuntu added its own approach to accent colours back in 2022. Now aligned with upstream, this new GNOME Shell extension is going to interest Ubuntu users who want to go beyond the distro’s handpicked and hardcoded accent colour selection to add a more unique touch to the way their OS looks.
