Not only was it a unique-looking desktop, it was also highly configurable. I remember spending hours tweaking the desktop to look and feel exactly how I wanted it. And when my friends got a peek at Enlightenment, they all wanted a similar desktop. Ya gotta run Linux if you want one. After moving away from the Enlightenment desktop, it still held a particular place in my heart, and every time I saw or used it, I was taken right back to that particular time in my life when I was wide- eyed and impressed with what I could do on a Linux desktop.

This is free and open source software. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠹⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⡿⠋⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢀⣈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠹⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣶⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣽⡟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠟⠃⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⡇⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⠿⠁⠀⠀⢴⣾⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⡏⠀⠀⣄⡀⠀⢸⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠈⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣽⣿⣿⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⠁⠀⢸⣿⣿⣶⣤⣴⣾⣿⠿⢿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⢸⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠘⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⢹⣿⠀⠀⣰⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠈⠳⢿⣿⣿⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 494 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/05/FSF_Free_Software_Supporter_December_GNU_Spotlight_Free_Softwar.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/05/FSF_Free_Software_Supporter_December_GNU_Spotlight_Free_Softwar.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ FSF: Free Software Supporter, December GNU Spotlight, Free Software Directory (FSD) Meeting Recap⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 05, 2025 * ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Blogs:_Free_Software_Supporter_--_Issue_201,_January_2025⠀⇛ Welcome to the Free Software Supporter, the Free Software Foundation's (FSF) monthly news digest and action update - - being read by you and 231,379 other activists. * ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Blogs:_December_GNU_Spotlight_with_Amin_Bandali:_Eighteen_new GNU_releases!⠀⇛ Eighteen new GNU releases in the last month (as of December 31, 2024): [...] * ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Blogs:_FSD_meeting_recap_2025-01-03⠀⇛ Check out the important work our volunteers accomplished at today's Free Software Directory (FSD) IRC meeting. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 535 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/05/GNU_Linux_and_Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/05/GNU_Linux_and_Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux and Free, Libre, and Open Source Software Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 05, 2025, updated Jan 05, 2025 * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾ # ⚓ Popular_antivirus_maker_warns_Windows_10_users_to_'switch to_Windows_11_immediately'_(or_Linux) [Ed: ESET_sucks and Vista 11 is back doors]⠀⇛ ESET is warning users to upgrade from Windows 10 now, well before support ends in October 2025. The security firm notes that cybercriminals realize a lot of folks have stuck with the older OS, rather than upgrading to Windows 11, and are waiting to pounce later this year. So you should start planning your upgrade path now, whether that's sticking with Microsoft, or switching to an alternative OS like Linux. # ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ I_Switched_to_Proton_VPN_and_Here's_What_I Honestly_Think_About_It [Ed: This is paid-for marketing SPAM and the URLs make that obvious]⠀⇛ o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ GNU World Order (Audio Show) ☛ GNU_World_Order_597⠀⇛ **geeqie** , **gftp** , **gimp** , **gkrellm** , **gnuchess** , **gnuplot** , **gparted** , **gucharmap** , **gv** , **hexchat** from the **xap** software set of Slackware Linux. shasum - a256=1da7a277e8d3fee214788159235fe47e5474c4a7bc7aa9efe8ad075294102c1b o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ AppleInsider ☛ NetEase_reverses_bans_on_macOS,_Linux players_of_'Marvel_Rivals'⠀⇛ "Marvel Rivals" developer NetEase will reverse 100- year bans imposed on players who used emulation software to play the game on Mac and other platforms.

There’s no denying that early GNOME or KDE iterations were rough around the edges. Fast-forward to today, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a desktop environment more polished than GNOME 44 or KDE Plasma 5.29. The visual consistency, enhanced performance, and well-thought- out user interface improvements are enough to rival any commercial operating system. Pop!_OS, Fedora Workstation, and Ubuntu, among others, now pride themselves on “just working” out of the box. Hardware detection is drastically improved. Simply boot from a USB stick, click through the installer, and in mere minutes, you’re up and running.

These 7 Linux Distros Use Plasma as Their Default Desktops — Kubuntu is the official flavor of Ubuntu that ditches the heavily customized GNOME desktop environment in favor of KDE Plasma. You get a clean, stock KDE Plasma desktop paired with the rock-solid Ubuntu core which guarantees a stable and reliable user experience, excellent hardware support, and extensive software availability through snaps, PPAs (Personal Package Archives), and the Ubuntu software repository. Being a part of the Ubuntu family means that this distro is blessed with a massive community welcoming beginners. Almost all Linux guides and tutorials available online are geared towards Ubuntu, and most of them will work on your Kubuntu PC. This is why Kubuntu is one of my top picks for Linux newcomers who enjoy desktop customization and want a Windows-like user experience.

Well. Kind of. Probably a loose contact in the SIM reader leading to it dropping connection to my SIM card a bit more often than I'd like. However this did push me to put said SIM into my old OnePlus 6T which just so happened to be running postmarketOS edge making me an official Linux Mobile daily-driver. And I'm happy to report it mostly just worked. Sure, there's a few apps I'd like to have that aren't available on Linux Mobile (yet?), but what's there works and it's enough for me to use it. Though there are certainly a number of more-than-a-bit-annoying bugs to be ironed out - so iron them out I will. For now my SIM card is back in my spotty Android phone until I fix a bug which sometimes duplicates incoming calls making them continue ringing while you've already picked up (less than ideal), but after that I think I'll stay on my 6T with Plasma Mobile for a longer while.

This summer I worked on NetBSD's kernel test framework to cover root device discovery and root file system selection.

Like many Raspberry Pi CM5 hardware platforms, the EDATEC ED-SBC3300 mini-ITX motherboard is not exactly new since it’s basically the same as the EDATEC ED- SBC2300 Raspberry Pi CM4-powered industrial Mini-ITX motherboard, but fitted with a Raspberry Pi CM5 instead. Let’s still have a look at the specifications to see if anything has changed. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ High_Performance_RISC-V⠀⇛ From the Institute of Computing Technology division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Peng Cheng Laboratory comes a high-performance and well-documented RISC-V core called XiangShan. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Looktech’s_AI-powered_smart_glasses_offer_a_14-hour battery_life,_13MP_camera,_and_linear_audio_for_$209_and_up_ (Crowdfunding)⠀⇛ Looktech Hey Hi (AI) Glasses are AI-powered smart glasses with a “privacy-focused design” and several lens options. They are similar to Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses but support GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini instead of Meta AI. Like Meta’s smart glasses, the Looktech Hey Hi (AI) Glasses incorporate headphones, a camera, and an Hey Hi (AI) model for a hands-free experience and personalized Hey Hi (AI) assistance. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Radxa_Cubie_5A_–_A_compact_Allwinner_A527/T527_SBC_with HDMI_2.0,_dual_GbE,_WiFi_6,_Bluetooth_5.4⠀⇛ Radxa Cubie 5A is an SBC powered by Allwinner A527/T527 octa- core Cortex-A55 SoC and featuring HDMI 2.0, dual GbE, WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4, an M.2 socket for NVMe SSD, USB 3.0 Type- A and USB 2.0 OTG (Type-C) ports, and a 40-pin GPIO form factor in a compact 69x56mm form factor. Long-time readers may remember the Allwinner A10-powered Cubieboard launched in 2012 as an alternative to the hard-to-get Raspberry Pi development board or the various TV boxes like the MeLE A1000 we tried to use to run GNU/Linux on Arm hardware. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Hackaday_Podcast_Episode_302:_Scroll_Wheels,_Ball_Screws, And_A_New_Year_For_USB-C⠀⇛ After a bit too much eggnog, Elliot Williams and Al Williams got together to see what Hackaday had been up to over the holiday. Turns out, quite a bit. There was a lot to cover, but the big surprise was the “What’s that Sound” competition. Do you know who had the correct answer from the last show? No one! So they guys did the right thing and drew from all the entrants for a coveted Hackaday Podcast T-shirt. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ World's_fastest_Arm_PC_put_to_the_test_—_128-core Ampere_Altra_Max_CPU_claims_128-core_Cinebench_2024_world_record⠀⇛ However, using Windows on this system with an Nvidia GPU is not a great idea, as Nvidia doesn't yet supply a driver for Windows on Arm. Running any apps hoping to tap into the RTX acceleration would frustrate you. System76 ships the Thelio Astra workstation with Linux, of course, with no such problem. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Maker_designs_Raspberry_Pi_GameCube_case_that's_free and_3D_printable⠀⇛ This case was designed by SilvestreDesignLab from scratch as an open-source project so anyone can recreate it themselves at home. You don't even have to have the latest Pi model; it's intended to be compatible with multiple models, including the Raspberry Pi 3B and Pi 4B. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1231 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/05/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/05/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 05, 2025 * ⚓ Medium ☛ These_Enhancements_Make_Flutter_Beast_At_Making_Apps_For Windows,_macOS,_and_Linux.⠀⇛ You can control the app window size, position, and whether it can be resized. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ How_a_good_business_deal_torpedoed_BASIC's reputation⠀⇛ It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration. (To be fair, he also really did not like FORTRAN, PL/I, COBOL or APL, either.) We are pretty sure that his short paper "How do we tell truths that might hurt?" was at least somewhat tongue in cheek. What's often missed, though, is that it was written in 1975, before the era of the microcomputer. The original Dartmouth BASIC was a compiler, and very different from later versions. * ⚓ Max Bernstein ☛ Weak_references_and_garbage_collectors⠀⇛ From 2018 to 2021, I worked on a greenfield Python runtime called Skybison. One of its major differences from CPython was that it used a moving garbage collector (GC). This I understood in theory—I knew that it ran when the heap filled up, knew we needed handles to update pointers in the runtime’s code, had read the Moon paper (PDF)—but the other day, I wanted to implement weak references and couldn’t immediately figure it out. Skybison thankfully has a reasonably clear implementation. So now I’m writing this post, mostly for myself, but maybe it will be useful to you as well. In this post I’ll give a brief overview of a garbage collector, a sample “normal” object, and then show the special handling for weak references. I’ve taken inspiration from the Skybison code, but it’s possible other projects have different approaches. * ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ Say_hello_to_Garden_of_Learning⠀⇛ During last month’s Advent of Code, I did an experiment where I wrote notes about my solutions and technical concepts I learned during the month and published them as a digital garden.

While that can be awkward, it’s not a deal-breaker by any means, especially when this Pi Pico SSTV decoder makes it cheap and easy to get into slow-scan television. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ It_looks_like_the_Raspberry_Pi_RP2350_Hacking Challenge_may_have_been_beaten_—_Hacker_gains_access_to_the_OTP_secret_by glitching_the_RISC-V_cores_to_enable_debugging⠀⇛ Raspberry Pi introduced the RP2350 via the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 as a successor to the RP2040 – with added security features to appeal to commercial and industrial customers. To publicize the new microcontroller it teamed up with Hextree to devise the RP2350 Hacking Challenge, announced at DEF CON in August.

Some of them are just curious as to why I keep only using GNU/Linux (Fedora actually and for the last 20 years and 33 years counting from SLS) as my main driver as well as all of the systems that I need to run – my virtual machines, my servers, my VMs at hosting sites etc. All of my servers run Fedora, Red Bait Enterprise GNU/Linux or Debian. Since about 2001, every new year, the tech press would run stories that headline something like “This is the year of Linux” or “This is the year of GNU/Linux on the Desktop” or some variation of that. Those statements assume that people would just switch enmass and that will be it. The reality is that, just as GNU/Linux started at the edge (print servers, file servers) in the mid to late 1990s, before taking over the data centre when the “cloud” became a thing, that was probably over a decade and a half’s worth of slow, considered adoption with zero marketing being done. It was adopted because it empowered people to inspect, check and see if it worked and was found to be reliable and dependable and just plain fun.

Xubuntu’s January update features Xfce_4.20, GIMP_3.0, and many updates to supporting libraries and components. MATE_1.28 is still on the horizon and expected before 25.04 launches in April. § January Schedule The Plucky_Puffin_Release_Schedule for January is… well, it’s blank. But that’s okay. Xfce 4.20 was released last month, and Debian packages are being built and uploaded as new releases are published. January is a time for early testing and integration improvements.
