Big GPU & Kernel Update Headed to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

A new hardware enablement (HWE) will roll out to users on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS this month, ahead of the Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS point release due on February 12. Ubuntu’s engineers periodically backport the Linux kernel and graphics drivers included in interim releases to the current long-term support (LTS) version. The next update delivers components from Ubuntu 25.10, released in October 2025.

What Do You Want to See From Ubuntu in 2026?

It’s fair to say that 2025 delivered plenty of wins for Ubuntu and the wider Linux ecosystem. Wayland is no longer “on the way”, but settled in and feeling comfortable (for most of us); gaming on Linux is practically mainstream at this point (thanks to Valve); and Ubuntu’s desktop team continued to think big with app/tooling changes, encryption focus, and more. Still, one shouldn’t lose sight of how far things have come already. In a chronically online world, attention is forever fixated on what’s new, what’s next, and (outrage industrial complex) what is the absolute worst. Mindfulness isn’t a meme; […]

Top B2B Software Review Sites for Software Vendors
by George Whittaker

As a software vendor, getting your product in front of the right audience is crucial. One of the best ways to reach business buyers is by leveraging B2B software comparison and review platforms. These websites attract millions of in-market software buyers who rely on peer reviews and ratings to make purchasing decisions. In fact, 88% of buyers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations [1]. By listing your software on these platforms, you can gather authentic user feedback, build credibility, and dramatically improve your visibility to potential customers. Below we rank the top six B2B software comparison websites – and highlight what makes each one valuable for vendors looking to boost exposure and win more business. Now updated for 2026.

1. SourceForge

SourceForge for B2B Software Vendors

SourceForge tops our list as a powerhouse platform for software vendors. Why SourceForge? For starters, it boasts enormous traffic – nearly 20 million monthly visitors actively searching for software solutions [2]. In fact, SourceForge drives more traffic than any other B2B software directory (often more than all other major sites combined!) [2]. Semrush even estimates SourceForge's February 2025 traffic at 32.88 million visitors[3]. This means listing your product here can put you in front of a vast pool of potential business buyers. SourceForge offers a complete business software and services comparison platform where buyers can find, compare, and review software. As the site itself says: “Selling software? You’re in the right place. We’ll help you reach millions of intent-driven software and IT buyers and influencers every day.” For a vendor, this translates into incredible visibility and lead generation opportunities.
