Making Projects Better
Making our projects better than before is one of our most important things that we have planned to do. We have improved the build system across all projects by introducing the tools repository on GitHub that is used as a submodule. Our strategy for this plan is to make sure that all our projects get the highest quality possible, while aiming for more.
Announcements for new release of our flagship projects will be made every major version or a version that is worth talking about. Not only updates will be done, but projects that are new to the programming industry will be made to allow developers to have more options according to the program.
Recently, we have started improving the documentation of the Terminaux project for the upcoming release. We have currently restructured the cyclic writer documentation so that a single page is split to multiple pages by category. This helps find information more quickly.
In the second half of the year, we are planning to introduce changes to our work plans so that we’d be more open. Confirmed additions, improvements, and other updates will be added to every repository’s GitHub Projects, straight from the internal information. This is to let the users know of the roadmap of all our projects in a more transparent manner.
After the release of the upcoming Nitrocid version series, we’ll make sure that other projects get their own development time as we are striving to improve them with new features and other general improvements. Because the upcoming version of Nitrocid is currently in a stage where it needs to be adjusted for the next Terminaux version, a beta program will be introduced. This is to gain feedback from developers and users, and we listen to all feedback!
Making sure that we fulfill our promises to you, we’ll keep you informed of any new updates regarding our projects. Meanwhile, normal development for all projects will start on April 6th, and we hope that we introduce you to new, exciting features. Are you ready for the most exciting moments?

HP EliteBook Ultra G1q Linux support under construction
Another Copilot+ PC, HP EliteBook Ultra G1q, is getting initial support for Linux, but this support is under construction as it won’t be merged to Linux 6.15. However, a future version of Linux could have better support for this laptop as we see improvements.
An HP EliteBook Ultra G1q contains a Snapdragon X Elite SoC to ensure that you have an AI powerhouse, complete with Microsoft’s Windows 11 and Copilot+ features that utilize AI. This AI laptop has a 14-inch screen to increase productivity. Furthermore, it uses ARM64 instead of the usual AMD64, which is expected from any Copilot+ PC.
Canonical is trying to get Linux to work with this laptop, but the device tree was incomplete because there may be errors when specifying the device parameters in the DTSI file. Expect certain features, such as audio, not working with Linux at this point.
However, in a future version of the Linux kernel, we’ll see more Copilot+ PCs, such as this one, being well supported. Right now, you can’t experience the full Linux desktop because there is no support for certain features, such as audio.

Linux 6.15 brings improved exFAT file system performance for file deletions!

Linux 6.15’s exFAT file deletion performance boosted
A recent development in the upcoming Linux 6.15 kernel has been spotted, because there was a big improvement to the exFAT file system implementation in relation to how it deletes the files when the “discard” mount option is used. This improvement significantly saves time as a test file after the merge has been deleted in 1.6 seconds, compared to more than 4 minutes of the total time taken.
This pull request makes sure that, upon file deletion, it discards a group of contiguous clusters (that is, clusters that are next to each other) in batch instead of discarding them one by one. This was because in prior kernels, such as 6.14, “if the discard mount option is enabled, the file’s clusters are discarded when they are freed. Discarding clusters one by one will significantly reduce performance. Poor performance may cause soft lockup when lots of clusters are freed.”
The change has been introduced in commit a36e0ab. Since then, the pull request has been merged to the kernel and it will be integrated to the first release candidate of Linux 6.15. A simple performance benchmark has been verified with the following commands:
# truncate -s 80G /mnt/file# time rm /mnt/fileIn detail, the performance of this filesystem without this commit is poor, totalling about 4 minutes and 46 seconds in real time, with 12 seconds of system time. In contrast to the patched kernel, it totals about 1 second in real time, with 17 milliseconds of system time.
It’s a huge improvement!
