Joining the ALP experience: documentation goes modular | SUSE Communities
With the release of the Adaptable Linux Platform (ALP) prototype ‘Les Droites’ in September, the first Alpine summit of more than 4,000 meters has been reached. As the Adaptable Linux Platform is a shift towards a modular operating system, what would be more natural than to accompany it with modular documentation? Since the initial publication of the ‘SUSE Smart Docs’ pilot last year, which is based on this approach, the collection of articles on the ‘Smart Docs’ beta documentation page has grown.

Confront the Dragon - David Revoy
I wish I had a better way to preserve the silhouette of the ground (foreground/middleground/background/dragon/character) and the layer stack of Krita did not help about that. The alpha inheritance workaround for clipping mask is not fluid to work with, except if you have only one or two group like that in your file.

Intel Arc Dedicated GPUs, Linux Kernel 6.0, and latest Mesa on Ubuntu 22.04
With the release of the 22.10 flavors of Ubuntu recently, I was hopeful this latest release would be ready for the (also recently released) dedicated Intel Arc GPUs. Unfortunately this wasn’t the case, as attempting to load the Kubuntu 22.10 installer from USB resulted in a blank screen. I was then given hope by Intel’s release of “packaged drivers” for the Alchemist GPUs for the 22.04 flavors of Ubuntu, but these hopes were unfortunately dashed as well after multiple attempts on fresh installs of 22.04.
After reviewing what Intel’s instructions were installing, I decided to try another fresh installation of 22.04, however fully deviating from their instructions and moving on to Linux Kernel 6.0 and the bleeding edge Mesa stack. Thankfully this process resulted in very little editing of configuration files, and only needing to manually compile one package. This process should also be repeatable on the 22.10 flavors of Ubuntu as well.
Before beginning, I’d like to suggest leaving any integrated graphics enabled, as well as ensuring an SSH server is running in the event of a blank screen that could result from any number of reboots. After running through this process twice, I believe the following instructions should not result in a blank screen.

FSD meeting recap 2022-10-21
Every week, free software activists from around the world come together in #fsf on Libera.Chat to help improve the FSD, which is a catalog of useful free software that runs under free GNU-like systems (not limited to the GNU operating system and its GNU/Linux variants) and a project of the Free Software Foundation (FSF). This recaps the work we accomplished at the Friday, October 21, 2022 meeting, where we saw a a new program added, several entries updated, and several conversations, one of which was on the role of binaries in the FSD (hint: the FSD only deals with source code).
