How to Install Linux Kernel 7.0 on Ubuntu 25.10

Why install Linux kernel 7.0? Well, no particular reason. Install it only if it enables support for some hardware that wasn’t supported or didn’t work correctly with Ubuntu’s default kernel. You can also install Linux 7.0 if you want to enjoy some of its new features and performance improvements.

From Commitments to Practice: Internet Society’s Priorities for WSIS+20 Implementation

The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)+20 review process, which concluded in December 2025, reaffirmed the multistakeholder model, made the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) permanent, and set a forward-looking agenda for digital development that resonates strongly with our 2030 strategy. But what has been agreed to on paper is only the beginning. What happens next, in terms of roadmaps, measurements, and institutional reforms, will determine whether or not those commitments will transform into practical results.

The Birds and the Sun, Relaxing Day

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 08, 2026,
updated Apr 08, 2026

Lunch

Today was a really lovely day, which began with a pleasant trip to Town and ended with sunset and darkness at almost 8PM.

It's expected that the next few days will be cloudy, but at least I got some tan while listening to music. Then I moved indoors and caught up with GNU/Linux news, which got posted to this site.

Today Hi-Dee (and friends) was fed while I was sunbathing. Later many other birds joined. Too many. Then Bot ("Bottle") showed up and was bottle-fed more than 20 times, on several separate occasions. The "cleaning bird" came several times, including at 7PM. Then "Neck" join in and began bullying her. So it had to stop. Time to go.

Our life is simple, yet it is rewarding and generally satisfying. We only use Free software, we try to cook our own food (it's healthier that way), and we exercise routinely. This saying resonates well this year: "Lawsuits are temporary. Glory is forever. Go public."

Going public sounds easy, but they try to bully you some more for doing so. Here's what we've published thus far:
