Linux 7.3, released by Linus Torvalds on Sunday, includes a fix for AMD graphics cards with little video memory that was first spotted by a Valve engineer in April. The kernel now handles that memory in a way that can improve gaming performance on older cards. The release also opens the merge window for Linux 7.4.

Crash reporters like Crashpad write a memory dump when an app fails, so developers can see what went wrong. A user reports that OpenAI's Codex Desktop keeps writing dumps even while it works normally, filling a folder with 54,504 files and 4.9 GB in one day on a Mac. Because dumps can hold fragments of memory, the reporter is not sharing them publicly.

KDE marked 30 years with Plasma 6.8, which drops the old X11 session and runs fully on Wayland. X11 apps still work through the XWayland layer, and the release adds Nvidia triple buffering by default, a remote desktop server with clipboard sync, and a system monitor that can pin processes to CPU cores. Plasma 6.7 users keep their existing X11 sessions for now.

AI design agents can be unpredictable, so Figma is giving them a rulebook. Its new Specs feature is a markdown editor where teams write down their design language, libraries and guidelines, and the document lives inside Figma where both people and agents can reference it. Figma also says its MCP integration now supports more than 20 new tools.

Vibe coding means describing software in plain language and letting AI write and review the code. Epic used that approach to rebuild its games launcher from scratch with a small team, and the preview starts faster: Ars's testing found it reaches the store a few seconds sooner than Steam. Epic warns it is light on features and will have bugs.
