According to the preliminary changelog, it would appear that Mozilla Firefox 51.0 is improving the video performance for those of us with older computers that don’t have GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) acceleration. Besides using less CPU power, the new Firefox version will also offer you a better full-screen experience. More information here.
The PCLinuxOS kernels have been updated to 4.9.5 and 4.4.44 LTS. Both kernels feature updated video, sound and network drivers. You can install either or both kernels through the Synaptic Package Manager. Greg Kroah-Hartman recently named the 4.9.x branch as a long-term kernel (LTS), yet this is not apparent from kernel.org.
This release is part of a series of planned monthly releases making improvements available to developers in a quick and predictable manner. Full announcement can be found here. This update is now available in the PCLinuxOS Software Repository for those who are currently running the KDE Plasma 5 desktop.
A new software repository mirror is now open for PCLinuxOS hosted by https://www.wearetriple.com/ This mirror rsyncs from nluug.nl every 6 hours.
