Snapdragon X Elite Laptop Performance On Linux Ends 2025 Disappointing

24 décembre 2025 à 17:00
As part of my various end-of-year benchmarking comparison articles for looking at the performance evolution of Linux is a fresh look at the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite laptop experience when using Ubuntu 25.10 with the latest X1E Concept packages, which includes taking the X1 Elite optimized kernel to the latest Linux 6.18 stable series. Unfortunately, there are significant performance regressions observed compared to a few months ago that just make AMD Ryzen AI and Intel Core Ultra laptops a better choice for Linux laptop users.

LOTemplate nouvelle version 2.2

24 décembre 2025 à 14:46

LOTemplate est un générateur de documents sous licence AGPL v3 qui permet de générer des documents (ODT, DOCX, ODS, XLSX, PDF, …) à partir d'un document modèle avec des variables et d'un fichier json pour les données.

Comment faire faire à LibreOffice (headless, sans interface graphique) ce que l’on ne peut pas faire avec LibreOffice (GUI, avec interface graphique) ?

Et comme c’est Noël nous avons ajouté un meilleur système de log en cadeau.

Dans la version 2.2 de LOTemplate, nous avons ajouté la possibilité d’exporter des PDF en y ajoutant un filigrane de son choix avec comme paramètres :

  • Texte de filigrane
  • Couleur de filigrane
  • Police
  • Taille de police
  • Le nombre de répétition sur la page

Pour cela, nous utilisons l’API uno de LibreOffice, qui expose plus de paramètres que l’interface graphique de LibreOffice. En effet, si l’on cherche a faire cela dans l’interface graphique de LibreOffice, on ne peut choisir que le texte. Le filigrane apparaît ensuite en vert et à la verticale.

Options PDF

Exemple d’un export moche

Mais en cherchant dans l’aide de LibreOffice, on trouve sur la page d’aide de l’outil d’export PDF en ligne de commande qu’il existe les options suivantes :

  • Watermark
  • WatermarkColor
  • WatermarkFontHeight
  • WatermarkRotateAngle
  • WatermarkFontName
  • TiledWatermark

C’est donc possible, LibreOffice peut le faire mais uniquement avec l’API uno. Pour faire court, rien ne l’indique dans la doc de l’API uno. Toutefois on retrouve cette page (EN) en date de décembre 2022 qui explique l’amélioration qui permet cela.

En suivant un des liens de la page on arrive à cette page (EN).

Et là on peut lire : Fix the problem by only adding the option at an UNO API level for now, this relaxes the hardcoded color without cluttering the UI.

Super, c’est possible !

Ce ne sont que des propriétés de l’export PDF. La solution a donc été simple à implémenter, avec un peu de recherche.

En résumé, savoir chercher sur internet et lire la doc reste encore utile !

Linux 6.20~7.0 To Bring Prep Changes For CXL Soft Reserve Recovery & Accelerator Memory

24 décembre 2025 à 12:22
The next kernel cycle that will be known as either Linux 6.20 or Linux 7.0 depending upon how Linus Torvalds handles the versioning for this next x.20 milestone. More than likely it will be Linux 7.0 given his historical versioning scheme, but whatever the case, ahead of this next kernel cycle some initialization changes for the CXL subsystem are building up...

Page Cache Sharing Looks To Be Very Beneficial For EROFS Containers

AMD Krackan Point Sub-$500 Laptop Linux Performance Improves By ~8% In Just Six Months

23 décembre 2025 à 16:30
As an end-of-year tradition at Phoronix for running a lot of year-over-year comparison performance benchmarks and other long-term performance evaluations, it's typically done on the higher-end hardware. That's done for a matter of time savings with maximum performance when running often 100~200+ benchmarks per article, the highest-end hardware typically being the most interesting in terms of features and capabilities, and more often than not getting flagship hardware review samples as opposed to the lower-end hardware. There have been benchmarks recently showing the big gains for AMD EPYC from a one year Linux LTS kernel upgrade, Intel Granite Rapids over the past year, and even the AMD Milan-X performance over the last four years, among other end-of-year 2025 articles. Today is a look at how the AMD Ryzen AI 5 "Krackan Point" CPU/iGPU performance has evolved simply over the last six months. It was a rather surprising twist how much better the Linux performance is over simply the past six months.
