Complete Guide on How to Dual Boot Ubuntu and Windows

Installing Ubuntu and other Linux OS as dual boot is difficult in pre-installed Windows Laptops due to certain features and restrictions. Secure boot, fast boot, SATA AHCI modes – all these options makes it bit complicated to make a system dual boot with Windows 10 and Ubuntu, specially for the general users. This guide will help you to install Windows 10 and Ubuntu as a dualboot in a system.

Kernel: Klibc, TEO, Z-Wave

• Klibc Sees Its First New Release In Five Years

  Klibc has seen some new activity recently and that has resulted in the first new release to this minimal standard C library subset in a half-decade. Klibc 2.0.5 was released this week by Ben Hutchings following a number of commits. The previous Klibc 2.0.4 version was released in July of 2014 and since then has only been sporadic work to this library. The Klibc C library subset is principally used for early in the Linux kernel boot process / initramfs.

• The New "TEO" CPU Idle Governor For Tickless Systems Queued Ahead Of Linux 5.1

  The new "Timer Events Oriented" (TEO) governor in development over recent months by Intel developer Rafael Wysocki is poised to land with the Linux 5.1 kernel cycle. The TEO governor for the CPUIdle framework is designed to be more ideal for tickless systems in more appropriately picking the best C-state for the processor/system. TEO tries to pick the deepest idle state for the system's expected conditions.

• There's Early Stage Work Exploring Z-Wave Linux Kernel Drivers

  Z-Wave is the incredibly common wireless communication protocol at the backbone of many home automation systems. To date there hasn't been any in-kernel Z-Wave Linux kernel drivers for this low-energy mesh network standard, but a SUSE developer has prototyped an initial driver and currently exploring the in-kernel possibilities, including what could end up being a Z-Wave subsystem.
