Fedora is known as the leading-edge Linux distro, offering an excellent balance between stability and access to the latest Linux features. Ubuntu, on the other hand, has traditionally offered a stable and reliable experience but has often lagged behind Fedora. It’s actually one of the main reasons I decided to ditch Ubuntu, even though it was my first Linux distro.

If new earbuds are on your holiday shopping list, Amazon's here to help.

Rather than waiting for Black Friday, the retailer has been squeezing in discounts on various models ahead of time. This includes a price cut on our favorite budget earbuds, the EarFun Air Pro 4.

If that color has caught your eye, you can snag them on sale for $53.16 at Amazon. This is over $20 cheaper than their usual price and just a few bucks away from their lowest-ever price of $50.51.

The EarFun Air Pro 4 are mighty impressive for a pair of budget earbuds, boasting solid sound quality and adaptive ANC technology that can block up to 50dB of outside noise. They even offer a long battery life of up to 11 hours on a single charge, which can be extended to 52 hours with the charging case.

Many of these reasons, paired with their more affordable price tag, are why we consider them the best budget earbuds. Overall, they "can adeptly handle a multipoint connection, feature a well-rounded sound profile with variation thanks to the in-app equalizer," and even "offer manually adjustable ANC, which isn't even a given on premium noise-canceling earbuds."

Why not take advantage of this early deal on the EarFun Air Pro 4 at Amazon?

TL;DR: Brick's new Brick Night ($129) uses Bluetooth to create a 25x25 ft zero-scroll zone in your bedroom. Set your time window in the app, and it automatically blocks distracting apps when you enter your room — requiring you to physically leave the space to unblock them.

If you’ve ever promised yourself you’d go to sleep at a reasonable hour, only to realize you’ve been staring at a glowing screen for two hours in the dark, you're not alone. Most of us try to rely on willpower or built-in phone tools, but let’s be real — Apple’s Screen Time, Android’s Digital Wellbeing, and standard Do Not Disturb modes are way too easy to bypass.

It takes half a second to tap "Ignore Limit for 15 Minutes" and go right back to doomscrolling. That’s precisely why distraction-blocking brand Brick just created Brick Night: a dedicated physical device that forces an actual boundary between you and your phone the moment you step into your bedroom.

Priced at $129, Brick Night turns your sleep sanctuary into an automatic zero-scroll zone. The compact, midnight-blue block uses Bluetooth signal strength to detect when your phone enters a designated bedroom area (up to 25 x 25 feet). You choose the apps you want to block, pick your custom time window for winding down and waking up, and place the device where you sleep.

The second your phone enters that room during your set hours, your selected apps stay locked. To unblock them, you have to physically get up and walk out of the room. That physical barrier transforms your sleep routine: your favorite distraction apps lock the moment you walk into bed so you can unwind and rest, and you wake up on your own terms without feeds setting your mood before you even roll out.

Designed to be as frictionless as possible, the compact device features a clean ABS and TPU build and requires zero WiFi connection. It also doesn't need to be plugged into a wall and runs on two included CR2477 batteries. Plus, if you share a bed or room, multiple people can use the same Brick Night device simultaneously — each person can set up their own independent time windows, blocked app lists, and custom modes on their own phone.

If you're ready to stop relying on willpower and finally reclaim restful nights, Brick Night is now available for $129.

I've dedicated the better part of the last decade to covering graphics cards. New launches, new features, new capabilities. Disappointments and amazing developments. Ever-rising prices, worse in 2026 than we've ever seen them.

Most subscription apps are genuinely useful, but after a while the monthly fees add up to a number that's hard to ignore when you realize half of what you're paying for is syncing your own data back to you. Each app solves a real problem, and you have to keep paying for it every month. But you can get a lot of the same features in Obsidian for free.

Amazon is wasting no time in dropping early deals for shoppers before Black Friday, including household items like vacuums.

For those hoping to grab a smaller model for quick cleanups, Shark's UltraCyclone Pet Pro Plus handheld vacuum is down to its lowest-ever price on Amazon. The Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro Plus usually costs $99.99, but Amazon has slashed $20 off, bringing it down to $79.99.

The Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro Plus is sure to come in handy during the busy holiday season, with a cordless, lightweight design (weighing just 2.8lbs) that's easy to grab and go to clean up crumbs, dirt, pet hair, and more that pop up around the house. It also boasts powerful suction from dual cyclonic air streams, which help protect the filter and motor by separating large and small debris as it cleans.

Plus, there's no need to worry about touching everything inside the dust cup when you empty the vacuum, thanks to the CleanTouch Dirt Ejector button. It even comes with extra attachments — a crevice tool, a scrubbing brush, and a self-cleaning pet power brush — so you have multiple options for cleaning.

Since the Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro Plus is currently at its lowest-ever price on Amazon, why wait for Black Friday to pick it up?

TL;DR: Roku's new Pro Series LX OLED TV is available on Amazon. Offered in 55-inch ($1,299) and 65-inch ($1,599) sizes, it features a 144Hz panel, anti-glare tech, Dolby Vision, and an on-TV remote finder button.

Roku built its massive following by keeping smart TVs simple, but its latest release proves simple doesn't have to mean basic. Following its reveal last month, the Roku Pro Series LX OLED TV is officially available, bringing high-end picture quality straight to the brand's iconic, hassle-free interface.

The flagship screen dropped in 55-inch ($1,299) and 65-inch ($1,599) sizes on Amazon, and if you were eyeing the larger option, you might be late to the party. Demand was so high that the 65-inch model sold out in a single day, but thankfully, the 55-inch version is still available at the time of writing.

This display is the most capable television the company has ever engineered. The 4K OLED panel delivers deep blacks, ultra-wide viewing angles, and vibrant colors without forcing you to dig through confusing settings menus. A clever system called Roku Smart Picture Max automatically tunes the display to whatever you're watching, while an advanced anti-glare finish reduces reflections in the room.

Gamers get plenty of love here, too. The display features a super-fast 144Hz variable refresh rate, Automatic Game Mode, and AMD FreeSync Premium to keep action smooth with virtually no lag or screen tearing. An ultra-thin metal frame gives it a borderless look, and it comes with an adjustable, tool-free stand and built-in cable management straps to keep your setup clean and tidy.

Roku also packed in a few thoughtful features you'll use every day. The included Roku Voice Remote Pro is fully rechargeable over USB-C and features backlit buttons, hands-free voice controls, and customizable shortcuts.

Even better, if the remote ever vanishes into the couch cushions, you can simply press a built-in remote-finder button right on the TV frame to track it down. Throw in Bluetooth Headphone Mode for quiet late-night watching and instant access to over 500 free live channels, and it's easily Roku's most impressive screen yet.

With the 65-inch size already snapped up, make sure to snag the 55-inch model before it sells out.

This drone is still very much built for high-quality shooting, with a 1/2-inch CMOS sensor capable of recording 4K video at 60 fps and taking 48 MP photos. It also comes with several features to make flying less complicated, including one-touch takeoff and landing, forward obstacle avoidance, and Smart Return-to-Home.

Battery life is another selling point, with up to 40 minutes of flight time per battery. It's also designed to meet FAA requirements for recreational flying in the U.S. and is a handy size to take with you while traveling.

TL;DR: The new Apple iPhone Duo is $1,000 off with T-Mobile. To qualify for this preorder deal, you need to switch to T-Mobile and bring your number on an Experience Beyond plan.

Opens in a new window Credit: Apple T-Mobile: Apple iPhone Duo for $1,000 off   Shop Now

The launch of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max had a big impact, but the iPhone Duo's drop has resulted in absolute chaos. It's Apple's first-ever foldable phone — what did you expect?

Stan Schroeder reviewed the iPhone Duo for Mashable, writing that it's the "first choice for Apple customers looking for a cool new phone."

The Apple iPhone Duo has officially launched, and T-Mobile is coming out of the gate with one of its biggest carrier promotions of the year.

Right now, T-Mobile is offering up to $1,000 off the Apple iPhone Duo via 36 monthly bill credits when you switch and bring your number on an Experience Beyond plan. You are still required to cover local sales tax on the phone's full pre-credit retail value upfront at checkout, plus T-Mobile's standard $35 device connection fee.

The $1,000 discount is distributed as 36 monthly bill credits. If you decide to cancel your service, downgrade your plan, or switch carriers before three years have passed, the remaining hardware balance becomes due immediately. But if you are already planning to stick with T-Mobile's top-tier unlimited plan for the long haul, taking $1,000 off Apple's iPhone Duo is a massive win for your tech budget ahead of Black Friday.

Carrier deals like this might be your best chance to score the iPhone Duo. Preorders for the iPhone Duo opened last week, and the phone sold out moments later. Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Werth tried to get his hands on the new phone, but missed the "blink-and-you'll-miss-it window."

Apple isn't done with new product releases quite yet.

Fall has proven to be quite a busy season for Apple, with the September iPhone event, which saw the grand debut of the new iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo. Apple then followed up with the "Welcome Home" smart home launch event earlier this month, where the company unveiled its new HomeView device alongside a slew of other products.

Apple is now preparing for an Oct. 28 event in Los Angeles. What does Apple have in store next? The invitations for the event went out with the tagline "Pro and Tell," so all signs point to a new MacBook Pro. In fact, we fully expect that Apple will reveal the long-awaited touchscreen OLED MacBook. 

However, we all know Apple loves a "One More Thing" approach, and we're following rumors on a few new devices. Here's everything we expect to learn at the "Pro and Tell" special event next week.

Touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro SEE ALSO: The latest MacBook Pro OLED rumors: What we know about Apple's upcoming touchscreen MacBooks

Apple has never released a MacBook with a touchscreen or OLED display, so this is a big deal. 

Bloomberg's Apple insider Mark Gurman says the touchscreen MacBook will have a different design than the current MacBook Pro models. The laptop will be thinner and lighter, and the OLED display will allow for thinner bezels on the device. Apple is also expected to replace the notch with a hole-punch camera with a Dynamic Island, much like the iPhone, according to Gurman.

Don't get too excited, though, unless you're ready to pay a premium for Apple's upcoming new laptop. The touchscreen OLED MacBook won't be cheap.

The existing MacBook Pro lineup starts at $1,999 for the 14-inch M5 chip model and $2,499 for the 16-inch M5 Pro chipset model. So, a touchscreen OLED model could get pricey.

M6 MacBooks and iMacs

While Apple may not be launching touchscreen MacBooks with the M6 chip, the company is expected to launch refreshed versions of its current MacBook Pro with the new chipset.

Apple unveiled its first M6 device with the new Mac mini in August. The company seems on track to roll out the M6 chip to the MacBook Pro and iMac next.

Based on how Apple rolled out the M5 chip last year, and Gurman's latest reports, don't be surprised to see a new entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro launched on Oct. 28 with the M6 chip.

There's also a rumor of an updated iMac launching at the event as well. The iMac hasn't seen a refresh since 2024, when the M4 model was released. If a new M6 iMac is indeed unveiled, there could be new color options as well.

iPad Mini 8 SEE ALSO: Everything we know about the rumored iPad Mini 8

The last iPad mini was launched in 2024 with the A17 Pro chip, which was the chipset powering the iPhone 15 Pro. It's well time for a refresh, and it seems like we will be getting one.

Apple has been rumored to be working on its first water-resistant iPad, and it appears that the new iPad mini will be that device, although it's unclear as to what level it will be water-resistant.

The new iPad mini is expected to be powered by the new A20 Pro chip, have an OLED display with thinner bezels, and a new front-facing selfie camera, according to MacRumors.

Updates to Apple Creator Studio?

We're speculating here a bit, but Apple is reportedly taking a creator-centric approach to its Oct. 28 special event. In addition, 9to5Mac reported this week that Apple keeps acquiring companies with a specific strategy in mind: Improving its Apple Creator Studio subscription offering.

If Apple did want to announce updates to Creator Studio, then a creator-focused event like this would be the perfect opportunity.

Will Apple also unveil any unexpected surprises? We'll have to wait and see on Oct. 28.

Shopping for dads during the holiday season usually devolves into the same predictable routine: novelty socks, overpriced grill tools, or tech gadgets he'll forget to charge. If you want to give him a wardrobe upgrade that won't end up buried in the back of his closet, Men's Wearhouse just dropped the Joseph Abboud Modern Fit Windowpane Plaid Sport Coat down to $174.99, a $75 discount.

The main reason most dads resist dressing up is sheer discomfort, but this Joseph Abboud Heritage jacket makes it a non-issue. Woven from a rich wool blend (60% wool, 38% polyester, and 2% spandex), it offers built-in stretch for comfortable movement from a morning commute to weekend gatherings. Plus, instead of a heavy, suffocating lining, it uses a lightweight butterfly lining that keeps things breathable and prevents overheating during stuffy indoor holiday parties or long family dinners.

Visually, the bold windowpane plaid pattern gives any outfit an effortless style upgrade, elevating a smart-casual look. It’s packed with classic, high-end tailoring details like fine pick stitching, a notch lapel, flap pockets, side vents, and a sleek single-breasted two-button closure.

The tailored Modern Fit delivers a balanced, comfortable profile through the chest and shoulders, keeping him looking consistently dapper without feeling squeezed into a restrictive suit. Whether paired with chinos for a casual weekend dinner or thrown over dark slacks to complete a holiday look, this imported sport coat is a versatile wardrobe staple built to last.

Skip the generic dad gifts this year and grab the Joseph Abboud Modern Fit Sport Coat at Men's Wearhouse for $174.99.

TL;DR: Live stream select Ligue 1 fixtures for free on CazéTV. Access these free live streams from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN.

Ligue 1 doesn't have the same reputation as the Premier League or La Liga, but PSG has just secured its second consecutive Champions League title, so perhaps it's time to reassess the quality of France's top league?

We know that there's a gulf in quality between PSG and the rest of the league, but Ligue 1 now combines genuine stars like Dembélé, Vitinha, and Kvaratskhelia with elite young talent that will dominate the game in the years to come. Will any team make the jump and actually compete with PSG for the title? That seems unlikely, but fans can bank on some thrilling football every week.

If you want to watch Ligue 1 for free from anywhere in the world, we have all the information you need.

What is Ligue 1?

Ligue 1 is a professional football league in France and the highest level of the French football league system. Ligue 1 is contested by 18 clubs, including popular teams like PSG, Olympique de Marseille, and AS Monaco. Every team plays 34 matches per season.

The defending champions are PSG.

BBC Radio One's "Unpopular Opinion" segment is usually chaotic good fun, and Jenna Ortega and Amy Adams' recent appearance is no exception.

In the clip, the pair field calls from radio listeners who try to make their cases on everything from "Mint only belongs in toothpaste" (Adams strongly disagrees) to "We need to retire the back of shoes."

Stay for Adams' own unpopular opinion right at the end, which is pretty much a perfect example of one.

1. Scream Ghostface rises again in "Scream 7." Credit: Paramount Pictures

It was the slasher movie that changed the way we looked at this stabby subgenre. Directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson, Scream imagined what could happen if a Halloween-like scenario — a masked killer targeting teen girls in a charming suburban town — was happening to a generation raised on such movies.

Virginal Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) is the good girl of her group of friends, but soon seems to be the target of the Ghostface killer. Stalked and scared but far from helpless, she — with the help of a dopey deputy (David Arquette) and an opportunistic news reporter (Courteney Cox) — must survive the night and unmask the killer. A classic that launched a franchise, Scream is still the gold standard by which dastardly reveals are judged. And hey, you can also watch Scream 2-7 on Paramount+ too!  — Kristy Puchko, Entertainment Editor

2. The Autopsy of Jane Doe

The pressure to continue running the family business is given a whole new spin in director André Øvredal's The Autopsy of Jane Doe; in it, Brian Cox (pre-Succession success) stars as Tommy, a coroner who works with his son Austin (Emile Hirsch). It's a weird, isolating life, carving up corpses — one which Austin has watched muck up his parents' relationship in close detail. And now that he's got a new girlfriend, Austin is thinking about maybe doing something else with his life besides death.

That's the emotional playing field laid out when our titular Jane Doe appears. Taking the advice to leave behind a beautiful corpse to its extreme, this dead body that shows up one dark and stormy night is outwardly perfect. Not a sign of trauma in sight. Weird, right? But when Tommy and Austin get out their scalpels and bonesaws and start digging around underneath, well, that's when the black clouds really roll in. The mystery of the body and its methodical undoing is riveting stuff — if you've got the stomach for it, anyway — and Øvredal turns this tight little thriller into a masterclass in subversion. — Jason Adams, Contributing Writer

3. A Quiet Place Shhhhhhhhhhhhh. Credit: Paramount Pictures

John Krasinski went from actor to celebrated horror director with this spine-tingling 2018 hit. Starring opposite his real-life wife Emily Blunt, The Office star plays a farmer dedicated to protecting his family from killer creatures that hunt by sound. This clever premise means the movie’s characters can't scream, because such a sound would definitely be their last. That means your own sounds of terror are weaponized while watching, crashing into the silent soundscape that’s suffocating in tension.

Ruthlessly paced and keenly realized, A Quiet Place is a superbly scary thrill ride. But what makes it top tier are the poignant performances by Krasinski, Blunt, and their onscreen children, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe. Together, they make a family-frightening feature that's perfect for a quiet night at home. And if you dare to make it a triple feature, the spooky sequel A Quiet Place: Part II and prequel A Quiet Place: Day One are also available. — Kristy Puchko, Film Editor

4. Pet Sematary This 2019 version of Stephen King's classic is more reimagining than remake, but what a wild ride it is. Credit: Paramount / Moviestore / Shutterstock

Stephen King has long been heralded the king of horror novels. His Pet Sematary was a book so scary that it’s been adapted to the big screen twice. The first came in 1989, yet this 2019 version is less a remake and more a reimagining. Instead of retreading the gruesome path of the original, directors Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer make surprising turns to keep the thrills fresh and frightening — but still deliciously ghoulish!

Jason Clarke and Amy Seimetz star as parents happy to move their young children away from the bustling of a big city to a quaint Maine town. The locals are odd but friendly. (Shout-out to a perfectly morose John Lithgow.) Their house is lovely, but its location proves full of dangers and deadly temptations. Then, this dreamy family’s waking nightmare begins when a dead cat is resurrected. From there, things grow more monstrous and moldering. — K.P.

5. Apartment 7A Julia Garner stars in "Apartment 7A." Credit: Paramount

A Rosemary's Baby prequel was a big gamble to take, but it paid off. Set months before the events of the 1968 classic, Relic director Natalie Erika James takes minor character Terry (Julia Garner), a neighbor of Rosemary who only has a single scene in the original, and fleshes her story out to terrifying effect.

"With Relic, Natalie Erika James spun an intimate tale of mother-daughter relationships and family curses into a rivetingly scary thriller," wrote Mashable's Kristy Puchko in her review. "Here, she uses that gift of emotional intelligence and skill for crafting unsettling scenes to tell a story that's familiar yet all the more frightening for it. We know where Terry's story will end because of Rosemary's Baby. Yet James keeps us at the edge of our seats as she expertly spins a web of rich drama and sly horror, working in heartfelt conversations, shattering jump scares, and defiant dazzle. From Polanski's foundation, she builds a glittering tale of girlhood stolen that is sick, stunning, and horrifyingly relevant."* — Sam Haysom, Deputy UK Editor

Adrian Lyne’s 1990 mindbender Jacob’s Ladder is a cult film that deserves a bigger cult. Tim Robbins plays Jacob Singer, a Vietnam veteran living in a dilapidated '70s New York with his girlfriend Jezzie (the late Elizabeth Peña) while experiencing horrifying hallucinations that may be the result of an experimental drug used on his platoon. Or is he being pursued by demons and the ghost of his dead son (an uncredited Macaulay Culkin)? Or is Jacob himself already dead and unaware of it? A surprisingly profound take on death and loss that happens to have one of the scariest hospitals ever seen on film. — Rufus Hickok, Contributing Writer

7. Smile 2 Naomi Scott stars as a pop diva in "Smile 2." Credit: Paramount Pictures

After the success of Parker Finn's Smile, expectations for the sequel were high — and you'd better believe that thing delivered. Following on from the events of the first movie, Smile 2 takes its cursed premise into the world of fame, following pop star Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) on a world tour-turned-nightmare.

"To match his superstar heroine, Finn goes all in on creating an unpredictable narrative that's full of jump scares, creepy imagery, and spine-tingling sound effects," wrote Monica Castillo in her Mashable review. "There are even more violent injuries, body horror, and bloody deaths to make an audience recoil, and plenty of upsetting details, from Skye's compulsive hair-pulling habit (aka trichotillomania) to a group of smiling backup dancers chasing Skye through her apartment in choreographed formation. These scares can feel delightfully over the top, almost like a carnival ride, but they're as creative and horrific as the best parts of the Final Destination series."* — S.H.

8. Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

Want something exciting with a fairytale flourish? Then you'll cherish this outrageous R-rated film from 2013, which not only offers action and fantasy but also ghoulish horror.

Directed by Dead Snow helmer Tommy Wirkola, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters reimagines the classic Grimm tale as one about two vengeance-driven siblings dedicated to eliminating the magical scourge that turns children into meals. Wearing matching smirks, Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton star as the titular brother-sister team. They wield crossbows and firearms with deadly accuracy and gory results. But with a massive coven coming for them, they'll need killer snares, quirky sidekicks, and some magic of their own. Along with bursts of action, Wirkola unveils a rich treasure trove of creepy witch designs that will have horror fans squealing. So, forget historical accuracy, embrace lunacy, and enjoy a realm where witches rule, trolls drool, and Hansel and Gretel are merciless ass-kickers. — K.P.

9. Disturbia 

Want something scary that's PG-13? Then you'll get a kick out of Disturbia. This 2007 thriller is a sort-of remake of Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, but leaning hard into the 00s thirst for teen slashers flicks. 

Shia LaBeouf stars as a teen boy who's under house arrest, and has the ankle bracelet to prove it. (Hey, at least it's not a broken leg!) Watching through his windows, he spies on his neighbors, and soon suspects that one of them is a serial killer. Is he paranoid? Or is he onto something sinister? Creepy, exciting, and slick, this twisted gem from director D. J. Caruso makes for a great watch without R-rated gore. — K.P.

10. The Faculty

It’s a crime more people don’t know about this Breakfast Club vs. the Body Snatchers monster mashup. Not only does it boast the throwback fun of '50s alien invasion horror, but also, The Faculty scratches the itch for '90s teen horror. When the extraterrestrial-conquered teachers at an Ohio high school start acting very strange, a group of angsty teens have to stop them from taking over the town at the big football game. It’s an old story, but with Scream scribe Kevin Williamson bringing the meta-commentary, a cast featuring Josh Hartnett, Elijah Wood, Salma Hayek, Jon Stewart, and Piper Laurie, a '90s alt-rock soundtrack, fantastic creature design (by Bernie Wrightson), and Sin City director Robert Rodriguez keeping things moving quickly, it’s all too much fun. — R.H.
