Bottles, an open-source software tool built on top of Wine that helps users run Windows applications and games on Linux systems by providing a user-friendly GUI, has just released its latest version, 60.0.

The update introduces a native Wayland option directly in the bottle settings, giving users a more predictable experience on modern Linux desktops that have already shifted away from X11.

More features continue piling on for the KDE Plasma 6.6 desktop, including an important performance fix this week for those running displays with a higher than 60Hz refresh rate.

KDE Plasma development highlights for the week have now been published by KDE developer Nate Graham.

FreeBSD 15.0 is working toward its stable release in early December. As part of reaching that major release, FreeBSD 15.0-RC3 released today as what may be the final release candidate before FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE.

There was expected to be a FreeBSD 15.0-RC4 milestone but due to release delays due to extra snapshots earlier in the cycle, FreeBSD 15.0-RC3 is currently set to be the last release candidate. If all goes well with that testing, FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE could be announced on 2 December.

An interesting anecdote from this week's batch of RISC-V fixes for the Linux 6.18 kernel exposed that the MIPS RISC-V/JEDEC vendor ID was wrong for code merged at the start of the kernel cycle. The testing hadn't caught it either as the QEMU emulation also ended up inadvertently using the wrong vendor ID too.
