Talos Linux adds native hypervisor and edge container support -- See it live at TalosCon 2026
"By bringing native hypervisor capabilities into Talos Linux, we extend the core Talos principles -- immutability, minimal attack surface and declarative management that eliminates drift -- to VM workloads. We eliminate the requirement that VM infrastructure teams learn the complexity of Kubernetes and KubeVirt, just to run VMs," said Steve Francis, president of Sidero Labs. "Yet we give them a unified platform that allows them to move to modern container-based architectures, whether on Kubernetes or running locally, on their timeframe."

FreeBSD ☛ Learning at Scale: FreeBSD Foundation Intern Nimish Jain on Exploring the FreeBSD Codebase
For Nimish Jain, working on FreeBSD this summer meant getting an up-close look at something he had long been curious about: how large, complex pieces of software work together.
A Software Engineering student at the University of Waterloo, Nimish is preparing to enter his second year. He was already a longtime FreeBSD user when he came across the FreeBSD Foundation internship opportunity through his university’s job portal.
“As soon as I saw the word ‘FreeBSD,’ I had to apply,” he said.
That decision led to a summer of working across several areas of the operating system, learning from experienced FreeBSD contributors, and seeing his own code make its way into a project used around the world.
