Linux gets the IT crowd
Linux and let live
Linux is already part of the AI developer’s desktop toolkit. Nvidia’s DGX Spark, which became available to order on October 15, 2025, runs the Ubuntu-based DGX OS. OpenAI’s Codex CLI already supports Linux, another example of AI tools meeting developers where they work.
There’s just one problem. Developers can fall in love with Linux at home. Getting enterprise IT to let them use it at work is another matter.
Angelo Huang, founder and CEO of Swif.ai, a platform that manages and secures employee devices, wants to change that. Huang tells The New Stack that giving developers Linux machines starts with giving IT teams the controls to manage and secure them.

New eBook: The next era of MFT starts here
Your file transfers may be automated, but the work around them, like diagnosing failures, reading logs, and updating workflows, is still largely manual. We’re developing a new eBook, The Next Era of MFT: How AI Transforms Managed File Transfer, written by Carly Page and sponsored by Fortra. You’ll discover:
- Why AI is becoming a necessity for MFT, not a nice-to-have
- The real cost of managing MFT complexity by hand
- How AI speeds up failure diagnosis, workflow creation, and log analysis
- How to keep expertise from living only in your senior admins’ heads

Microsoft’s new voice AI can start working out what you want before you finish speaking
Microsoft’s speech model starts transcribing before callers finish talking. But Phonely says the hard part of voice AI is the silence in the middle.
“I think you said, 'representative.'” It’s the fastest way to bypass automated speech recognition chatbots that fail to route human callers to the service they need. Achieving a human handoff to a living, breathing representative still feels like a badge of honor.

Roadmaps for Teams lets you plan, track, and document your team's skills in one place: build custom roadmaps and assign them to team members, identify skill gaps and track progress as they grow, and onboard new hires faster with structured plans that guide them from day one.
An agent spins up a service account, or inherits a permission nobody remembers granting. Weeks later, it touches something it shouldn't, and the audit log has a gap where the answer should be. Join us live to watch that gap close in real time, tracing an agent's actions back to an accountable identity on CloudBolt's platform.
After a Kubernetes cluster goes live, platform and application teams need clear responsibilities for upgrades, access, recovery, and shared workloads.
