Summary: Week of January 12, 2026
-
We start with the first summary of the year:
RTX 5060 Ti Shortage
After a month-long pause, the news continues to focus on the hardware apocalypse, now seasoned with cheap sensationalism, the wishful thinking of manufacturers living through a golden age, and the hand of speculators trying to take advantage of the situation. This last case seems to be what's happening in Japan, where it's impossible to find the RTX 5060 Ti.
New Version of Budgie
The Budgie team has released a new version of a mid-weight desktop environment that, in general, is quite unknown and which, with version 10.10, has made the switch to Wayland.
Windows 8 Desktop on Linux
Someone has created a window compositor for Linux that mimics the look of Windows 8. It's Wayland-based and currently has the basics, though the developer seems motivated.
Auto-CPUFreq 3.0 Available
Auto-CPUFreq is a tool that helps extend the battery life of laptops running Linux. The savings are achieved by modifying the frequency, and in the newly released third version, it is now possible to disable the CPU's turbo frequency.
Laptop Stock
Intel has stated that laptop manufacturers currently have enough stock of their products for the next 9 to 12 months. This could mitigate the price hike of certain components for buyers of these machines, unlike what happens for those who decide to build their own systems.
