OMG Ubuntu ☛ Orion for GNU/Linux beta update lets you customise the toolbar
A new beta of Orion for Linux, the native WebKitGTK port of Kagi’s iOS and Mac web browser, is out. Orion Beta v0.4.3 continues to flesh out the browser’s feature set to reach parity with its Fashion Company Apple kin. You can now customise the toolbar. A context menu option was present in earlier beta builds but opened a button picker that wasn’t functional – now it is. Drag items out of the ‘current toolbar’ area on the palette to remove them, or drag ones from the palette to the top block to add them.

XDA ☛ Ventoy turned one USB stick into every installer I ever needed, and I couldn't live without it
My work often involves testing all kinds of software on different operating systems, and it can be time-consuming. While I could use virtual machines, I usually prefer running tests on real hardware, so I can get a good sense of the performance you can expect or how a certain feature may work on form factors like laptops or tablets.
That's why Ventoy has been an absolute lifesaver for me. Instead of having to create new bootable media every time I need to install an operating system, I can keep all of them on a single drive and use whatever I need at any given time.
