Collabora

Collabora is working on porting the RADV Vulkan driver to Windows, aiming to improve cross-platform compatibility for developers. The effort focuses on enabling RADV's open-source Vulkan implementation to run on Win32 systems.

Valve and Collabora are developing an Arm64 port of Arch Linux called Holo Core for the Steam Frame VR platform, aiming to integrate it into the official upstream distro. The effort supports SteamOS 3, which is based on Arch Linux, and the Steam Frame will use a 4 nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip instead of AMD CPUs.

Collabora released CODE 26.04, a web-based office suite with improved AI integration (off by default), Markdown support, enhanced Track Changes, and accessibility features. The update reflects growing competition in the FOSS cloud office market and shares improvements with LibreOffice due to overlapping development.

Flipper Devices has announced the Flipper One, an ARM-based Linux computer featuring a Rockchip RK3576 CPU with 8GB RAM and 64GB storage, positioned as a versatile multi-tool rather than a successor to the Flipper Zero. The device is priced at approximately $350 for the base model and will launch on Kickstarter at the end of summer, with the company partnering with Collabora to bring mainline Linux kernel support to the platform.
