Quoting: 5 More Beginner-Friendly Linux Distros —
One great thing about Linux is that it's not homogeneous. It's a vast
and diverse ecosystem of distributions. While some distros can seem
inaccessible to newcomers, there are plenty of others that are
designed to be beginner-friendly and easy to use.
I recently covered five such distros, including popular choices such
as Linux Mint, Ubuntu, and Zorin. However, as there is no shortage of
fantastic Linux distributions, I am back with five more to offer you
even more options to begin your Linux journey

Quoting: 5 reasons I prefer this distro over Ubuntu as a Windows-to-Linux
convert —
When transitioning from Windows to Linux, it's essential to select
the proper distribution that best suits your needs. There is a
plethora of Linux flavors to choose from, and experimenting with them
in VMs or a dual-boot configuration is your best bet. Since Ubuntu is
a popular operating system, and part of the Windows Subsystem for
Linux and Hyper-V, you should give it a try.
It is suitable for specific tasks on Windows; however, when it comes
to using a Linux distribution full-time, I prefer Zorin OS because it
is easy for Windows users to migrate to. While based on Ubuntu, Zorin
provides a similar experience to Windows, but it’s all Linux on your
desktop. It is a distro I prefer over Core Ubuntu.
Now, to be fair, I am also fond of Mint Linux (also based on Ubuntu),
but for the time being, I turn to Zorin, as it provides a more
Windows-like experience. Plus, you can run most Windows apps (.exe)
directly on the OS with minimal configuration.

* ⚓ Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Alternatives_to_Microsoft_Minesweeper_-
LinuxLinks⠀⇛
Minesweeper is a logic puzzle video game genre generally played
on personal computers. The game features a grid of clickable
tiles, with hidden “mines” (depicted as naval mines in the
original game) dispersed throughout the board.
Microsoft Minesweeper is proprietary software. We recommend the
best free and open source alternatives for Linux.
* ⚓ Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Alternatives_to_Google_Firebase_-
LinuxLinks⠀⇛
Google has a firm grip on the desktop. Their products and
services are ubiquitous. Don’t get us wrong, we’re long-
standing admirers of many of Google’s products and services.
They are often high quality, easy to use, and ‘free’, but there
can be downsides of over-reliance on a specific company. For
example, there are concerns about their privacy policies,
business practices, and an almost insatiable desire to control
all of our data, all of the time.
What if you are looking to move away from Google and embark on
a new world of online freedom, where you are not constantly
tracked, monetised and attached to Google’s ecosystem.
In this series we explore how you can migrate from Google
without missing out on anything. We recommend open source
solutions.

XTON OpSuS Tumbleweed is based on openSUSE Tumbleweed, which is a rolling
distribution. I.e. no need for new installations. Just run the command sudo
zypper dup and you will always get the latest stable packages/kernels. The ISO
file is of 1850mb. This LXQt version will thus run very fast from a DVD or a
USB stick. Even faster from RAM if you have at least about 4GB RAM. You can (of
course) run EXTON OpSuS in VirtualBox/VMware directly from the ISO file.

Quoting: Floating Mini Panel GNOME Shell Extension - OMG! Ubuntu —
When activated, Mini Floating Panel only displays the clock/date
applet and the Quick Settings menu, alongside with a grab handle
button that lets you move the mini panel to your preferred location
on screen.
You won’t see any other extensions icons, tray indicators or other
applets in the floating panel. Rather like a media player mini-mode,
it’s ‘essentials’ only.
Click the grab handle to open the applications picker & workspaces
overview. From there, the regular full-width top bar is shown, giving
you access any other applets, add-ons or tray icons you need (without
needing to toggle out of mini panel mode).
As it shows ‘always on top’. the mini panel may get in the way of
something else on screen at times. You don’t need to exit mini panel
mode or move the panel to access them: right-click the handle to hide
the mini panel for 5 seconds.

HopToDesk is a remote desktop tool allowing users to share
their screen, transfer files, and allow remote control access
to their computers and devices using end-to-end encryption.
Security and privacy is a priority at HopToDesk. All traffic
between users, including chats, file transfers, and screen
sharing is end-to-end encrypted. This means HopToDesk does not
have the ability to see users screens, files, or any
information shared between partners during a remote session.
Other remote desktop products do not offer end-to-end
encryption and frequently send background data to the remote
desktop provider’s servers, allowing them to detect commercial
use and prevent the application from running again. This is not
possible with HopToDesk.
This is free and open source software.

Quoting: I Left Windows for Linux—and I’m Never Looking Back —
Windows is a great operating system, and depending on your
requirements, might be your only choice. However, if you're bold
enough to leave, you'll find that Linux is quite a useful
alternative. I've left Windows for Linux, and I'm gone for good.
One of my biggest issues with Windows is the random bugs you come
across in day-to-day usage. The latest example of this is a green
screen of death that crashes my system every time I connect my Xbox
controller to my PC over Bluetooth. This issue happened on the latest
stable release, with no warning and no apparent reason—Windows just
decided to start crashing every time I connected my controller.

Quoting: Linux Desktop: What Makes KDE Plasma So Appealing? —
If you’ve done any reading or searching about Linux, then you’ve
probably run across plenty on the different desktops that are
available to the open source operating system. There’s GNOME, Xfce,
Budgie, Pantheon, i3, Cinnamon, MATE and so many more.
One particular Linux desktop that gets plenty of attention is KDE
Plasma, which is one of the more popular desktop environments
available. Although KDE Plasma might not enjoy the popularity of
GNOME (as GNOME is used as the default for a lot of distributions),
that doesn’t mean it’s a lesser desktop. In fact, KDE Plasma is one
of the most exciting desktop environments on the market.

July is nearly here and there is a strong response to the Microsoft folks (who
strangled women and had done even worse things) who pick on us for pointing
that out [1, 2]. Nothing goes well for them and they know it.
As the sister site noted today, there will be lots of Microsoft layoffs very
soon. It'll be vastly bigger than what the media is going to tell. Microsoft is
already preparing or briefing its favourite media "operatives", telling them
what to say and how to say it in order to shield the MSFT shares.
When Microsoft isn't doing well - to_the_point_of_up_to_30,000_layoffs_in_one
year - it means that many people, businesses and governments are adopting Free
software (and in the process canceling Microsoft contracts). █

The world of custom mechanical keyboards is vibrant, with new
designs emerging weekly. However, keyboards are just one way we
interact with computers. Ploopy, an open-source hardware
company, focuses on innovative user interface devices.
Recently, [Colin] from Ploopy introduced their latest creation:
the Ploopy Knob, a compact and thoughtfully designed control
device.
* ⚓ Celso Martinho ☛ Restoring_a_ZX_Spectrum+_Toastrack⠀⇛
This is not the first time I’ve fiddled with Spectrums during
the last few years. In 2019 I wrote a ZX Spectrum game for one
of the Pixels Camp events and blogged about it. More recently
though, I’ve been restoring and improving a rare ZX Spectrum
128k+ “Toastrack”. This is how it’s going.
* ⚓ Old VCR ☛ Refurb_weekend:_Gremlin_Blasto_arcade_board⠀⇛
After waiting awhile for the seller to cut the crap, they
finally posted it at a not totally unreasonable price for a
completely untested item, as-was, no returns, with no power
supply, no wiring harness and no auxiliary daughterboards. At
the end of this article, we'll have it fully playable and wired
up to a standard ATX power supply, a composite monitor and off-
the-shelf Atari joysticks, and because this board was used for
other related games from that era, the process should work with
only minor changes on other contemporary Gremlin arcade
classics like Blockade, Hustle and Comotion [sic]. It's time
for a Refurb Weekend.

As a premier platform for collaboration among developers, designers, and open-
source community leaders, LAS aims to accelerate the full lifecycle of Linux
applications - from development and packaging to distribution and user
experience.
At the summit, Shuoqi Yu, maintainer of the Kaiming SIG in the openKylin
community, delivered a keynote titled "Technical Exploration of the Kaiming
Package Format in openKylin." The talk provided an in-depth overview of the
Kaiming format’s technical architecture and open-source implementation
practices, drawing attention from developers and ecosystem partners worldwide.

* ⚓ Undeadly ☛ Game_of_Trees_0.115_released⠀⇛
Version 0.115 of Game of Trees has been released (and the port
updated): [...]
* § R / R-Script⠀➾
o ⚓ Dr Jonathan Carroll ☛ Counting_Digits_Quickly_-⠀⇛
When things run slower than we’d like in R we tend to
reach for another, usually compiled, language, and move
our code there. What if it “just happened”? What started
out as a silly exploration of how to count digits ended
up with a race to see which language does it fastest.
Maybe some surprises here for some, maybe some bad
implementations on my part - let’s find out.
o ⚓ Julia Language Blog Aggregator ☛ Counting_Digits_Quickly_|
juliabloggers.com⠀⇛
{quickr} “transpiles” R code which means it takes R code
converts the syntax into Fortran syntax using the same
variables and equivalent functions where available. The
idea being that when R isn’t working fast enough for you,
instead of re-writing your function in something like C++
(via {Rcpp}) it can automatically write a Fortran version
of your code and compile that into a highly performant
function which can be called with the same arguments.
Faster running code with no additional effort – sounds
great!
* § Python⠀➾
o ⚓ Adnan Siddiqi ☛ Generating_Buy/Sell_Signals_with_Moving_Averages
Using_pandas-ta_|_Adnan's_Random_bytes⠀⇛
Moving averages are primarily used to identify trend
direction and generate buy/sell signals when prices cross
above or below the average line. They’re important
because they filter out market noise and provide clear,
objective reference points for making trading decisions
and managing risk.
* § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾
o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ A_new_little_shell_script_to_improve_my
desktop_environment⠀⇛
The actual version I now use wound up slightly more
complicated, and I call it 'thenshell'. What it does (as
suggested by the name) is to run something and then after
the thing either exits or is Ctrl-C'd, it runs a shell.
This is pointless in normal circumstances but becomes
very relevant if you use this as the command for a
terminal window to run instead of your shell, as in
'xterm -e thenshell '.
* § Golang⠀➾
o ⚓ Redowan Delowar ☛ Flags_for_discoverable_test_config_in_Go⠀⇛
I like to rely on Go’s standard tooling so that
integration and snapshot tests can live right beside
ordinary unit tests. Because I usually run these heavier
tests in testcontainers, I don’t always want them running
while I’m iterating on a feature or chasing a bug. So I
need to enable them in an optional manner.
o ⚓ Krzysztof Kowalczyk ☛ Go_is_80/20_language⠀⇛
Go is the most hated programming language. Compared to
other languages, it provides 80% of utility with 20% of
complexity. The hate comes from people who want 81% of
utility, or 85% or 97%. As Rob Pike said, no one denies
that 87% of utility provides more utility than 80%. The
problem is that additional 7% of utility requires 36%
more work.

balance between simplicity and power. With a clean KDE Plasma desktop, a fast
Calamares installer, and smart defaults for permissions and power, it's easy
for both new and experienced users to get started right away.
This release adds expanded non-free firmware for better hardware support and
refines the desktop with a custom theme and improved visuals. Staying true to
its core, RefreshOS remains free of Snap and Flatpak, using only APT for
software management. Essentials like LibreOffice, GIMP, and Brave Browser come
pre-installed, offering a ready-to-go platform out of the box.

RefreshOS 2.5 is a fast, clean, and modern Linux operating
system built on the solid foundation of Debian 12.11. Designed
to be the perfect middle ground between the complexity of pure
Debian and the bloat of mainstream alternatives, RefreshOS
delivers a powerful yet minimal desktop experience right out of
the box. Installation is quick and beginner-friendly thanks to
the Calamares graphical installer, making setup straightforward
even for first-time Linux users.
With pre-tuned defaults for permissions, power settings, and
user access, RefreshOS feels instantly familiar. Sudo is pre-
configured, allowing administrative tasks right away without
any extra setup. This release includes extended hardware
support through expanded non-free firmware, improving
compatibility with a wide range of Intel, AMD, Realtek, and
other devices. The KDE Plasma desktop has been refined for
speed, simplicity, and visual consistency, featuring a custom
theme, improved splash screen, and a cleaner default user
environment.
RefreshOS remains Snap- and Flatpak-free by design, maintaining
a coherent and native Debian-based software ecosystem powered
entirely by APT. Pre-installed essentials like LibreOffice,
GIMP, and Brave Web Browser provide a complete platform for
productivity and creativity from day one.

Security Onion 2.4.160 is now available and includes Playbooks and Guided
Analysis to help you more quickly triage and respond to alerts! Security Onion
Pro customers will also have access to our new MCP Server and Security Onion
App for Splunk!
§ Playbooks and Guided Analysis
Have you ever had an alert and were unsure of what to do next? In this release,
when you expand an alert you'll see a new tab called Guided Analysis. This
leverages Playbooks to show you plays associated with the alert. These plays
include questions which help guide your investigation. Each question has an
associated query and the results of that query will be automatically displayed
to help you answer the question. This makes you faster and more efficient than
ever before!

If you're old enough to remember why you resisted the move away
from plain text email, you might be pleased to know there's
precious little to stop you going back. Use plain text email is
the plainly-named website that explains how. You don't have to
use Alpine (pictured above)—there are modern options!
* ⚓ Use plaintext email ☛ Use_plain_text_email⠀⇛
There are two main types of emails on the [Internet]: plain
text and HTML. Many people, particularly in technical
communities, strongly prefer or even require the use of plain
text email from participants. However, your mail client may not
have it set up by default. We'll help you get it configured,
and introduce you to the norms and conventions of plain text
email.

However, there are other kind of shadertoys around, with the
role of applying some filtering over its input video. I call
those “filter shadertoys”, just to distinguish them from the
ones that simply replace the input video with a totally
different render (but please note all of them are “shadertoys”,
and the procedure to use them is the same). Here are some
examples of “filter shadertoys” applied to the very same test
screen used before: [...]

For over a year every time I restarted my computer, the
internet didn’t work. The trouble was, and I forgot how I even
figured it out at first, was that the DNS Server was set
127.0.0.1 on my WiFi settings (regardless of what network).

I recently posted some pictures of the structure of woofQ2:
There is a fundamental problem with the pups and pup-
derivatives and pup-lookalikes; that they use a aufs/overlayfs
layered filesystem, which traditional package managers such as
APT do not recognise.
The "devx" squashfs file is an example. It has lots of
packages. APT/dpkg maintains a database of installed packages
in /var/lib/dpkg; in the case of EasyOS, that will be in the
bottom layer, easy.sfs. Then you want to compile a source
package and bootup with the devx .sfs layered on top; how can
APT/dpkg be informed that there are a whole lot of new packages
installed? Unfortunately, it is not a simple matter of having
another layer of /var/lib/dpkg in the devx sfs.

# ⚓ Kevin_Fenzi:_2_days_to_datacenter_move!⠀⇛
Just a day or two more until the big datacenter
move! I'm hopeful that it will go pretty well, but
you never know.
Early last week we were still deploying things in
the new datacenter, and installing machines. I ran
into all kinds of trouble installing our staging
openshift cluster. Much of it around versions of
images or installer binaries or kernels. Openshift
seems fond of 'latest' as a version, but thats not
really helpfull all the time. Especially when we
wanted to install 4.18 instead of the just released
4.19. I did manage to finally fix all my mistakes
and get it going in the end though.
We got our new ipa clusters setup and replicating
from the old dc to new. We got new rabbitmq
clusters (rhel9 instead of rhel8 and newer
rabbitmq) setup and ready.

Open Source—especially Linux—isn’t what it
used to be 30 years ago. Back then, it was
mostly a niche for highly skilled tech
enthusiasts. Today, it’s grown into a multi-
billion-dollar industry that plays a major
role in powering the world’s information
infrastructure.

Here’s a demo of me using Helix to process a large JSON
file. I’m extracting a list of all locations of resources
deployed in 2025 with just a few keypresses. It’s not
very hard. Pay special attention to the selection counter
in the lower right corner.
o ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ Skype_Is_Gone:_The_FOSS_Alternative⠀⇛
Microsoft wants you to jump onto Teams, which is an even
worse choice! Slow, clunky, full of bugs. And SLOW.
Most of you may be already using something else, but in
case you are wondering where to go next, and you’d like
to consider software that is likely not going away
anytime soon, FOSS alternatives should be on the table.
There are many options, but I’m going to set a very
specific set of criteria to meet for an application to be
considered. Here goes: [...]
