Garuda Linux – A Rolling Release Distribution Based on Arch Linux
Arch Linux has a reputation for being an intimidating operating system to use, especially for beginners. Unlike popular Linux distributions such as Ubuntu and Fedora which provide a graphical installer, installation of Arch Linux is a tedious and time-consuming process.
You have to set up everything from the command line, which includes configuring the timezone and local settings, keyboard, and partitioning the disk partitions to mention a few. This can be daunting and time-consuming. Even after installation, you still have to go to great lengths to configure everything to your preference.

Mozilla Performance Blog: A different perspective [Ed: Mozilla is heavy and bloated already, as the Web itself has come to require very heavy and bloated browsers that act more like VMs, not rendering engines; there's no way to "fix" the Web; it needs to be abandoned and we need to start over]
Usually, in our articles, we talk about performance from the performance engineer’s perspective, but in this one, I want to take a step back and look at it from another perspective. Earlier this year, I talked to an engineer about including more debugging information in the bugs we are filing for regressions. Trying to make a context out of the discussion, I realized the performance sheriffing process is complex and that many of our engineers have limited knowledge of how we detect regressions, how we identify the patch that introduced it, and how to respond to a notification of a regression.

Mozilla Privacy Blog: Mozilla Responds to EU General Court’s Judgment on Google Android [Ed: Mozilla fails to note that it is taking a lot of money (surveillance money) from Google; Mozilla "valuing privacy" should actually be considered a joke]
This week, the EU’s General Court largely upheld the decision sanctioning Google for restricting competition on the Android mobile operating system. But, on their own, the judgment and the record fine do not help to unlock competition and choice online, especially when it comes to browsers.

Camera access for Linux on ChromeOS may be very close [Ed: Just delete ChromeOS, install a 'proper' GNU/Linux on that]
Four long years. That’s how long I have been tracking this bug report. With every Canary update, the first thing I check is whether or not I can access a camera via the Linux container on my Chromebook. Sadly, I still can’t access a webcam via Crostini but I have every reason to believe that this could soon change. For starters, the original bug report/feature request is still open. If Google had no intention of bringing camera access to Linux, developers would have marked this “wontfix” and moved on. Four years later and this bug has been starred by 230 users. It seems clear to me that Google understands that this is a feature that is needed.
