This week’s Linux news is packed with all kinds of stuff to talk about from new hardware devices, desktop environments, and a blast from the past. Valve has some exciting news about their new Steam Machine, their latest SteamOS update and also hide your wallets because the Steam Summer Sale is happening right now. Then PINE64 announced a new Home Assistant powered Smart Speaker as a local alternative to Amazon Echos and all those. We’ve got some desktop news from Xfce as their new Wayland Compositor has Preview Release ready for testing and tinkerers. The COSMIC desktop also has a new release with new features and lots of polish but is it ready to go. Then later we’ve got a blast from the past because for some reason someone made a Flatpak of GIMP 0.54 the version from 1996.
All of this and more on This Week in Linux, the weekly news show that keeps you up to date with what’s going on in the Linux and Open Source world. Now let’s jump right into Your Sourcewe are for Linux GNews!

Wildcard searches (LIKE and ILIKE) are common in PostgreSQL applications, but they often become a major performance bottleneck. Traditional B-tree indexes only optimize prefix searches, while pg_trgm can produce false positives that require expensive heap rechecks.
This session introduces Biscuit, an open source PostgreSQL extension that uses a new bitmap-based indexing approach to accelerate wildcard pattern matching. Learn how Biscuit integrates with the PostgreSQL query planner, avoids unnecessary heap rechecks, and delivers faster, more predictable query performance for text-heavy workloads.
We’ll explore the indexing algorithm, benchmark results against B-tree and pg_trgm, practical use cases, and the trade-offs of building a custom PostgreSQL index access method. Whether you’re a PostgreSQL DBA, database developer, or systems engineer, this talk offers valuable insights into query optimization and PostgreSQL internals.

Looking to improve PostgreSQL performance and high availability? This session introduces Pgpool-II, the popular open source middleware that adds connection pooling, load balancing, query routing, replication support, and automatic failover to PostgreSQL deployments.
Learn how Pgpool-II works, its core architecture, and how it helps build scalable, highly available PostgreSQL clusters. We’ll cover connection pooling, read/write load balancing, replication management, failover and recovery, and performance optimization, with a live demo showcasing Pgpool-II in action.
Whether you’re new to PostgreSQL or designing production database infrastructure, this talk provides a practical introduction to one of the most widely used tools for PostgreSQL scalability and reliability.
