Today in User Space we get excited for the future of Low Profile memory with LPCAMM2 showing up lately in the Framework 13 Pro's Intel boards
giving speed and power savings we've never seen before. On paper, it's as good as the Mac unified memory, but will it actually live up to the hype on the new Intel chips?

Then, we find out Malus is out here copying open source software and adjusting it enough that it becomes... liberated? Described as 'satire,' this tool, at least on its surface, does seem to do exactly what it says on the tin. But why?

And finally, we spend a lot of time talking about Ubuntu 26.04's release, and it turns out, some of the highlights are really interesting. Password feedback lets us meander into a much longer security debate about shoulder surfing, why TPM's and encryption are good, actually, the Gnome Resources app, which is surprisingly good, but we forgot to remember about it, and then we try to figure out when the right time to update really is.
