But this doesn't mean that it's the best, and if you're looking for something more than just a standard operating system, then it might be time for you to give Linux a try. While Linux may not have as many users as Windows, it has a lot of features that just make it astronomically better than Windows in almost every way.

Ever since then, it's been a touchstone of anti-DRM activism, giving users yet another reason to avoid the "Swindle", as if its proprietary software isn't enough. Just last week, Amazon showed that its campaign against literacy is still very much alive by depriving users with older Kindles (i.e. loyal customers) of the ability to transfer e-books to their devices via USB. As the oldest models of the devices don't have wireless cards, this was the only officially supported method of transferring new books over to the device. (Thankfully, free software able to do this exact thing has existed for years.)

I was able to preserve my data, everything works, and I gained a solid boost in speed and responsiveness. All in all, a rather successful endeavor. Never forget, this is a 2015 laptop, with an ancient i3 processor, but it handles 1080p smoothly, and unless you play games, you can do every single modern 2025 task fine. Don't let the greedy vampires tell you how you must refresh your gear or any similar nonsense. You can, if you want to, but there's absolutely no pressing need, in most cases. An SSD that costs 50-70 dollars will do the trick. Oh, how much do I detest this modern world of corporate hustling and nonstop bs. My potato lives and should serve me well for quite a while longer. It's even got a DVD tray should I truly feel decadent. In terms of usefulness and cost value, it's approaching the venerable eeePC netbook. In some ways, it exceeds it, because the netbook never could do any fancy stuff. This one still can, just fine. If you check my old 10-year-mark reviews of various laptops from my past, like the T42, the abovementioned netbook, some other laptops, and alike, you will definitely notice the shrinking of the performance gap. Once, yes, you needed new hardware frequently to get all the benefits. Since 2011 or so, definitely 2014 or so, the hardware revolution has plateaued. The only thing driving the market is software bloat really. Nothing a wee SSD can't fix, and if you slap the right operating system onto it, like Kubuntu 24.04 for instance, you should enjoy yourself. I know I did. Well, 'tis almost like getting a new machine, a second gift. See you around.

In fact, a film that made use of Blender won an Oscar. The film in question is "Flow," which is an animated feature that follows the mystical journey of a cat and his friends. According to Blender, the film is the very manifestation of Blender's mission, where "a small, independent team with a limited budget is able to create a story that moves audiences worldwide." Recently, Francesco Siddi COO of Blender, had an interview with "Flow" directory Gints Zilbalodis. During that interview, Zilbalodis spoke to his migration to Blender. "After finishing my first feature Away, I decided to switch to Blender in 2019, mainly because of EEVEE. I started using the 2.8 beta or even alpha release,” he said. “It took a while to learn some of the stuff, but it was actually pretty straightforward. Many of the animators in Flow took less than a week to switch to Blender."

However, despite the unfortunate layoffs, Sony has not ceased to work on other projects like the Horizon live service. Layoffs have been a chronic problem that has negatively affected the video game industry over the last few years. Many game developers have released their employees, leaving them without work. Sony Interactive Entertainment became the latest giant game company to be hit by layoffs as it continued to struggle with its game projects. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 978 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/06/Hardware_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/06/Hardware_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Hardware Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 06, 2025 * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ The_One_Smart_Hey_Hi_(AI)_Pen_–_A_ballpoint_pen with_Bluetooth_and_a_microphone_for_translation,_LLM_integration, note_taking_(Crowdfunding)⠀⇛ You may have seen the “Sell me that pen.

That's how I learned about the Flow Battery Research Collective (FBRC), which is building what will eventually become an open-source home battery. Daniel Fernández Pinto represented the collective at FOSDEM with his talk "Building an Open- Source Battery for Stationary Storage" in the "Energy: Accelerating the Transition through Open Source" developer room (devroom). The open-source battery project has a close cooperation with Utrecht University's FAIR-Battery project and is fully financed by NLnet Foundation. The FBRC is a relatively new project that started last year. Fernández, a chemist, had been doing battery research at home and documenting his findings on a blog since 2019. Electrochemical engineer Kirk Smith discovered Fernández's blog and proposed joining forces. That led to the formation of a project to ""build an open-source battery aimed at solar and wind storage in the long term"", while aiming to create kits for academic purposes in the short term. o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Shortwave_Resurrection:_A_Sticky_Switch_Fix_On_A Hallicrafters⠀⇛ Shortwave radio has a charm all its own: part history, part mystery, and a whole lot of tech nostalgia.

Which was exactly the case for this restoration project by [Ken’s Lab], where the biggest challenge wasn’t fried capacitors or burned-out tubes, but a stubborn band selector switch that refused to budge. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1060 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/06/Immich_1_129_Photo_and_Video_Backup_Solution_Released.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/06/Immich_1_129_Photo_and_Video_Backup_Solution_Released.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Immich 1.129 Photo and Video Backup Solution Released⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 06, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Immich_1.129⦈_ Quoting: Immich 1.129 Photo and Video Backup Solution Released — Immich, an open-source self-hosted photo and video backup solution, has just released version 1.129, addressing several issues from the previous versions while also introducing some new features.

Because that’s exactly what happened to me when I decided to give the Arch- based CachyOS a try. At first glance, there isn’t much of a difference between CachyOS and other Linux distributions based on Arch like EndeavourOS, or especially the gaming-focused Garuda Linux. It was only a few mentions online and its sudden climb up the charts on Distrowatch that piqued my curiosity.

This is generally safe because the BPF verifier ensures that BPF programs can't misuse kernel resources, run indefinitely, or otherwise escape their boundaries. There is continuing tension, however, between trying to expand the capabilities of BPF programs and ensuring that the verifier can handle every edge case. On February 14, Juntong Deng shared a proof-of-concept patch set that adds some run-time checks to BPF to make it possible in the future to interrupt a running BPF program. When initially conceived, BPF had strict limits on the number of instructions a program could contain, and did not permit loops, limiting how long a program could run. This is important because the kernel will call BPF hooks during many time- sensitive operations, so a misbehaving BPF program that managed to run for too long could potentially cause kernel hangs or other problems. Over time, those limits have been gradually expanded for two reasons: the verifier has become more capable — handling loops, more complicated functions, etc. — and developers have discovered that complicated, long-running BPF programs are quite useful, prompting them to ask for the limits to be loosened. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Slabs,_sheaves,_and_barns⠀⇛ The kernel's slab allocator is responsible for the allocation of small (usually sub-page) chunks of memory. For many workloads, the speed of object allocation and freeing is one of the key factors in overall performance, so it is not surprising that a lot of effort has gone into optimizing the slab allocator over time. Now that the kernel is down to a single slab allocator, the memory-management developers have free rein to add complexity to it; the latest move in that direction is the per-CPU sheaves patch set from slab maintainer Vlastimil Babka. Many kernel developers interact with the slab allocator using functions like kmalloc(), which can allocate objects of any (reasonable) size. There is a lower level to the slab allocator, though, that deals with fixed-size objects; it is used heavily by subsystems that frequently allocate and free objects of the same size. The curious can see all of the special-purpose slabs in their system by looking at /proc/ slabinfo. There are many core-kernel operations that involve allocating objects from these slabs and returning them, so the slab allocator has gained a number of features, including NUMA awareness and bulk operations, to accelerate allocation and freeing. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Support_for_atomic_block_writes_in_6.13⠀⇛ Atomic block writes, which have been discussed here a few times in the past, are block operations that either complete fully or do not occur at all, ensuring data consistency and preventing partial (or "torn") writes. This means the disk will, at all times, contain either the complete new data from the atomic write operation or the complete old data from a previous write. It will never have a mix of both the old and the new data, even if a power failure occurs during an ongoing atomic write operation. Atomic writes have been of interest to many Linux users, particularly database developers, as this feature can provide significant performance improvements. The Linux 6.13 merge window included a pull request from VFS maintainer Christian Brauner titled "vfs untorn writes", which added the initial atomic-write capability to the kernel. In this article, we will briefly cover what these atomic writes are, why they are important in database world, and what is currently supported in the 6.13 kernel. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Filesystem_support_for_block_sizes_larger_than_the_page_size⠀⇛ The maximum filesystem block size that the kernel can support has always been limited by the host page size for Linux, even if the filesystems could handle larger block sizes. The large- block-size (LBS) patches that were merged for the 6.12 kernel removed this limitation in XFS, thereby decoupling the page size from the filesystem block size. XFS is the first filesystem to gain this support, with other filesystems likely to add LBS support in the future. In addition, the LBS patches have been used to get the initial atomic-write support into XFS. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1465 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/06/Meet_the_Fedora_Project_Mentors_for_Google_Summer_of_Code_2025.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/06/Meet_the_Fedora_Project_Mentors_for_Google_Summer_of_Code_2025.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Meet the Fedora Project Mentors for Google Summer of Code 2025⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 06, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Google_Summer_of_Code_logo⦈_ Quoting: Meet the Fedora Project Mentors for Google Summer of Code 2025 - Fedora Magazine — The Fedora Project is excited to participate in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2025.

This new version maintains API and ABI compatibility with all previous 1.2.x and 1.0.x releases. To begin with, “client-rt.conf” is no longer there. From now on, all clients will rely on “client.conf,” granting them real- time priority in their data threads. Another impressive addition is the new UMP (MIDI2) support, which is now the default format for handling MIDI1 and MIDI2. Handy helper functions are included to convert legacy MIDI and UMP. Furthermore, the resampler has seen major optimizations, including support for precomputing common conversion filters at compile time, along with improved delay reporting. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⣿⡧⢼⡿⢿⠿⢿⣿⡿⠿⢿⡿⠿⡿⠿⣿⠿⡧⠤⡿⠿⠿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢻⡟⣷⣿⠘⡟⢸⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⢰⡄⢘⡇⢸⡇⢰⡦⠀⡏⠀⣒⣀⣷⠀⠃⡀⠋⢀⡇⠀⡇⠀⣶⠃⢐⣂⣈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⡷⠛⣿⠖⡷⠚⠁⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⢠⣤⣼⣧⣼⡇⢠⣤⣴⣷⣤⣤⣤⣿⣦⣤⣷⣤⣼⣧⣤⣧⣤⣿⣧⣤⣥⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢼⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1760 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/06/PostgreSQL_News.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/06/PostgreSQL_News.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ PostgreSQL News⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 06, 2025 * ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ DBConvert_Streams:_New_Cloud-Native_Platform_for PostgreSQL_Migration_and_CDC_Replication⠀⇛ We're announcing the first public release of DBConvert Streams, a new cloud-native platform designed specifically for PostgreSQL database migration and real-time replication.

And why did it end? o ⚓ Sandor Dargo ☛ Trip_report:_C++_Online_2025_|_Sandor_Dargo's Blog⠀⇛ Right at the very end of February, the C++ conference season was opened by the second edition of C++ Online. I think it won’t take you by surprise that this was an online conference. In a certain way, an online conference offers less than one that happens in real life, one must admit that it has some advantages. First of all, it’s open for more people. It requires less investment money- and time-wise, and people can easily attend from different time zones. You can attend even if you don’t manage to get dedicated time from your employer. Some talks - depending on your timezone - were outside of business hours, plus the raw recordings were published very promptly so you could watch something that you missed even on the same day. This came in handy for me, as I could not dedicate so much time attending talks live as I wanted to. To add a personal side-note, I also wanted to be more active promoting the conference, but a thigh-packed vacation with not much access to the internet prevented me from doing so. Now it’s time to share my favourite talks! * § Qt⠀➾ o ⚓ Qt ☛ Qt_Framework_and_its_Hidden_Gems_for_Medical_Software_-_Why is_it_a_Perfect_Choice?⠀⇛ This is a guest blog from Scythe Studio, an official sponsor for Qt World Summit 2025.  o ⚓ Qt ☛ Enriching_Automotive_UX:_Combining_Qt,_Figma_and_Third-Party 3D_Engines⠀⇛ Over the past 5 years or so it has become abundantly apparent that automotive consumers expect that when they enter their car they are greeted by 2D controls that are not only responsive and intuitive, but also by 3D graphics that are functional and fluid.  o ⚓ Qt ☛ Qt_Contributor_Summit_2025:_May_7-8_(+9),_Registration, Venue,_and_More!⠀⇛ * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Rust Blog ☛ The_Rust_Programming_Language_Blog:_Announcing_rustup 1.28.1⠀⇛ The rustup team is happy to announce the release of rustup version 1.28.1. § Challenges with rustup 1.28.0 rustup 1.28.0 was a significant release with many changes, and there was a quick response from many folks that this release broke their processes. While we considered yanking the release, we worried that this would cause problems for people who had already updated to adopt some of the changes.

But how do we get them? Many are developed by volunteers and people in the ecosystem. But another great source of new features is the Surveillance Giant Google Summer of Code (GSoC), a global, online program focused on bringing new contributors into open source software development. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ The Fiefdom of Files ☛ A_Map_of_Python⠀⇛ PyPi, the Python Software Foundation's package repo, counts over half a million open source projects. Since I use many of these every day, it seemed appropriate to get to know this set of packages better, and show some appreciation. The index website provides nice search and filtering, which is good when looking for something specific. Here though, we want to take a look at every package at once, to construct a visualization, and perhaps even discover some cool new packages. o ⚓ LWN ☛ Python_interpreter_adds_tail_calls⠀⇛ The Faster CPython project has been working to speed up the Python interpreter for the past several years. Now, Ken Jin, a member of the project, has merged a new set of changes that have been benchmarked as improving performance by 10% for some architectures. The only change is switching from using computed goto statements to using tail calls as part of the implementation of Python's bytecode interpreter — but that change allows modern compilers to generate significantly better code. o ⚓ LWN ☛ Multi-host_testing_with_the_pytest-mh_framework⠀⇛ The pytest-mh project is a plugin that provides a multi- host test framework for the popular pytest unit-testing framework and test runner. Work on pytest-mh started in 2023 to solve a multitude of issues that cropped up for developers and testers when testing the SSSD project, which is a client for enterprise identity management. I was not happy with the state of testing of the SSSD project and wanted to create something that would increase test readability, remove duplication, eliminate errors, and provide multi-host testing capabilities, while having the flexibility to build a new API around it. Finally, I also wanted something that can be used by anyone to test their projects as well. The pytest-mh plugin is licensed under the GPLv3. (The pytest framework is under the MIT license.) It provides building blocks to build a test framework around a project, and tools that connect the tests to one or more hosts. Developers can write tests in Python that execute commands on remote systems as well as implement complex automated setup and teardown to ensure that each test starts with a well-defined environment. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Paweł Grzybek ☛ Vi_keybindings_in_fish_shell⠀⇛ Some time ago, Stefan shared a great tip on how to edit a long shell command using the default editor in bash and zsh. I chipped in and added a recipe for fish. I was blown away today when I learned that I can use vim keybindings directly in the fish shell, without ever opening vim. Absolutely killer productivity tip! o ⚓ Evan Hahn ☛ Why_"alias"_is_my_last_resort_for_aliases⠀⇛ I used to define these aliases with alias. After all…I’m defining an alias! But over time, I think I discovered a better way: a script in my $PATH. * § Java⠀➾ o ⚓ FatSquirrel ☛ NetBSD_on_a_JavaStation⠀⇛ Hard as it may be to imagine, there was a time when Java was brand new and exciting. Long before it became the vast clunky back-end leviathan it is today, it was going to be the ubiquitous graphical platform that would be used on everything from cell phones to supercomputers: write once, run anywhere. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2083 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/06/Red_Hat_AlmaLinux_and_More.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/06/Red_Hat_AlmaLinux_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat, AlmaLinux, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 06, 2025 * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Using_Oracle_Cloud_Infrastructure_with_bare_metal and_on-prem_OpenShift⠀⇛ This collaboration (two years in the making) enhances OpenShift’s availability on Oracle’s infrastructure, giving customers a consistent Kubernetes experience across environments. Whether you're running OpenShift natively on OCI bare metal or deploying in an on-prem regulated setting with Compute Cloud@Customer and Private Cloud Appliance, you can now take advantage of OpenShift's powerful new features with the flexibility of Oracle's infrastructure. This milestone reinforces Red Hat and Oracle's commitment to delivering enterprise-grade hybrid cloud solutions, empowering customers to modernize applications, optimize IT operations, and accelerate digital transformation. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Automate_the_full_lifecycle_of_virtual infrastructure_operations⠀⇛ A variety of business applications run in virtualized environments. As with other components of the IT stack, they need to be managed. But virtual machines (VMs) are only part of the equation. There's a host of related infrastructure which can vary based on the needs of the application. This can include everything from network connectivity and storage, to security and identity management tools, to observability and backup solutions, to cloud instances and on-premises servers, and the list goes on! * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_troubleshoot_Spring_Boot_in_OpenShift⠀⇛ Spring_Boot application deployment in Red_Hat_OpenShift is beneficial for having stand-alone Spring applications as microservices, given that it provides features such as externalized configuration, health check, circuit breaker, and failover. It is also very simple to containerize it.

Red Hat will also provide the same solutions to Rakuten Symphony, a global provider of cloud- native open RAN infrastructure and services, to further enhance its platforms and solutions to empower telecommunication service providers with the necessary tools for operations. Additionally, Red Hat will support Rakuten Cloud’s efforts to certify its Cloud-Native Storage on Red Hat OpenShift for easier integration with Kubernetes-native tooling. * ⚓ Rakuten_opts_for_Red_Hat's_Enterprise_Linux_for_Real_Time_- Telecompaper_EN⠀⇛ * ⚓ LWN ☛ AlmaLinux_considers_EPEL_10_rebuild_for_older_hardware⠀⇛ The AlmaLinux project has published a request for comments (RFC) on rebuilding Fedora's Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL), which provides additional software for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and its derivatives, to support older x86_64 hardware that is not supported by EPEL 10. While this may sound simple on the surface, the proposed rebuild carries a few potential risks that the AlmaLinux and EPEL contributors would like to avoid. The AlmaLinux Engineering Steering Committee (ALESCo) is currently considering feedback and will vote on the RFC in March. § Alma and EPEL⠀➾ AlmaLinux is one of the projects that sprang up in the wake of Red Hat discontinuing CentOS Linux. The project provides a binary compatible clone of RHEL using sources from CentOS Stream, rather than attempting to be a 1:1 rebuild. It occasionally deviates from RHEL to provide faster security updates, provide expanded hardware support, or re-add features and packages that Red Hat has discontinued such as SPICE protocol support for QEMU, and Firefox and Thunderbird in AlmaLinux 10. Most of those changes have been fairly modest, but the project will be going a bit farther with the next major RHEL release. The upcoming RHEL 10 release, and Stream 10, are only targeting x86_64 systems with the x86_64_v3 instruction set architecture (ISA), which means Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) and AVX2. The decision to drop support for v2 systems has not been entirely popular, since there are still recent CPUs (such as Intel's Atom series) that do not have support for AVX2. To accommodate users who have hardware without AVX2 support, AlmaLinux is producing two builds of AlmaLinux 10⁠—⁠one which follows upstream Stream and RHEL with v3-optimized binaries by default, and one which targets x86_64_v2. However, that leaves a gap for users on the v2 builds: access to packages in the EPEL 10 repositories, which will also be built for v3 only and would not run on hardware that only supports v2. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2275 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/06/ScummVM_and_Steam.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/06/ScummVM_and_Steam.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ ScummVM and Steam⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 06, 2025 * § WINE or Emulation⠀➾ o ⚓ ScummVM ☛ A_dark_seed_has_been_planted⠀⇛ Dark_Seed, a 90's point-and-click horror game from the mind of H.R.

There's a right way and a wrong way to use Distrowatch | ZDNET — When I first started using and writing about Linux in the late 1990s, there were just a few distributions to choose from, and even those were a bit hard to discover (unless you knew the right bulletin board or mailing list to join). I remember asking around and chatting about new distributions we'd discovered with Linux user groups -- which were actual face-to-face meetings! There was a bit of mystery to it all. But then things started to change. This underground movement was brought to the surface, and more and more people were in on the secret. Linux was out, and it wouldn't slink back into the shadows ever again.

Among the most noteworthy additions is a new feature that helps detect problems with Wi-Fi hardware. In light of this, now, if Tails doesn’t detect wireless hardware, you’ll see a clear warning message: “No Wi-Fi hardware detected.” Transitioning to the updates under the hood, Tails 6.13 ships with Tor Browser 14.0.7 and updates the Tor client to 0.4.8.14.

When you run a command in your terminal, Linux carries out a few checks to decide how to act.

My role was to implement the TC39 Range_Proposal in the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine. Iterator.range is a new built-in method proposed for JavaScript iterators that allows generating a sequence of numbers within a specified range. It functions similarly to Python’s range, providing an easy and efficient way to iterate over a series of values: [...] # § UI⠀➾ # ⚓ cursor-shape-v1_support_landed_in_GTK3⠀⇛ Just a quick update: Recently, you might have heard that GTK 4 added support for the cursor-shape-v1 protocol on Wayland. The main advantage of the cursor-shape-v1 protocol is that it ensures consistent cursor look between apps. In Plasma, additional perks come with it, for example the cursor can look more crisp with fractional scale factors because SVG cursors are used. We (KDE) took a shot_at_backporting_the_cursor_shape_protocol support to the GTK 3 branch and, as of this moment, it’s already merged . This means that you should experience fewer cursor issues in applications running on Wayland that still use GTK 3, mainly Firefox. # § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Doing_maths_on_Hugo_post_params⠀⇛ Go’s templating engine in Hugo has mul, or math.Mul function, for performing basic multiplication: [...] # ⚓ Cory Dransfeldt ☛ Generating_absolute_URLs_in_my_RSS feed(s)⠀⇛ My RSS feeds are generated by 11ty at build time from a Liquid.js template.

Ubuntu — Dabbled with daily builds of the Plucky Puffin prior to now? You might have noticed Papers isn’t present on the ISO or actual installs. This is because ‘paperwork’ was needed first: packaging Papers in Debian, syncing it to plucky‘s universe repo, filing a main inclusion request (MIR) to move to main, and passing security review. Hurdles cleared, today saw Plucky’s ubuntu-meta file (currently in - proposed) updated to finally commit to the swap, with Evince removed and Papers added, meaning the app will now start propagating out for wider testing. Not that it’s a done dusted implementation yet; there’s further work to be done. Ubuntu devs need to patch GTK3 to let GTK3 apps use Papers for print previews (as Evince currently does), and the .desktop file needs to be updated to label Papers as Document Viewer in the app picker, adhering to GNOME apps’ agnostic name conventions.

As the countdown moves closer to the end of Windows 10 support this October, here are some compelling reasons to quit Windows and give Linux a try. Before we dive in, I want to acknowledge something: familiarity is comfortable, and change can be challenging!

On the Arm side, support has been added for LLC (Last Level Cache) coloring, which should help fine-tune performance by allowing more granular control over cache allocation. Furthermore, users can now experiment with the early-stage Armv8-R support, complementing the growing list of architectures that Xen accommodates. Read_on LWN: * ⚓ Xen_4.20_released⠀⇛ The Xen_Project has announced the release of Xen 4.20. This release adds support for AMD Zen 5 CPUs, improved compliance with the MISRA C standard, work on PCI-passthrough on Arm, and more. Xen 4.20 also removes support for Xeon_Phi CPUs, which were discontinued in 2018. See the feature_list and release notes for more information. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠓⢀⠠⣿⣣⣦⠞⠀⠀⠸⢱⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⢠⠀⡠⢂⠔⣉⡽⣟⢉⡿⠄⠀⣠⣷⣾⠷⠶⠶⠿⠻⢵⣤⣴⣀⡂⠀⠀⠀⣀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣦⣄⣠⣠⠤⣜⠀⠰⣿⣿⣵⣷⣾⣿⣵⣴⣾⣧⣤⣿⣿⣿⠁⣴⣥⣶⣲⣀⣐⢋⣟⣿⣷⣔⣤⣮⣤⣤⡀⠀⠃⠀⢀⢸⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢀⣶⣶⣿⣿⢽⣿⣿⡭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣷⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣵⣴⣶⣶⣾⣿⠉⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠐⢠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⢿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠐⡐⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣶⣶⣶⣤⡀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠄⠁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣤⠍⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠈⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣤⣾⣦⣶⢦⣶⣠⠂⠐⠆⠀⠒⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣤⣱⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣯⢋⣯⣤⣪⣞⣋⣇⣠⣾⢟⡚⣛⠙⢶⣧⣄⣀⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢘⡾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⡿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⡿⠿⠿⠿⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⡁⢼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣶⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠉⢿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠊⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⠟⡁⢀⣿⣿⣏⣠⠄⠙⢁⣤⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣤⠀⡀⠀ ⠁⢄⠆⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⢸⠇⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣧⣤⠁⢠⡿⡿⠋⠀⠒⣇⠘⠋⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢂⣀⣁⠀ ⠀⢀⣊⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠿⣿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣍⡉⠁⠀ ⠀⠀⡀⠼⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣾⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣹⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣋⣁⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⠆⠀ ⠀⠀⣲⣶⣞⣋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠘⠁ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠂⠀⠐⣤⢏⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⡟⠃⢀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠙⠻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣿⠟⡽⢿⢻⠿⡟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⡉⠛⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢟⡟⠻⡛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠉⠈⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠌⡒⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⠓⢀⡷⠽⡇⠀⠉⢧⡈⢻⣿⡛⠟⠻⢿⡯⠛⡿⠛⠛⠿⠋⠂⠁⠐⠁⠑⠀⠄⣀⣿⣿⣿⠭⢽⣿⠂⠁⠃⠀⠘⢼⠃⠀⢺⡀⠁⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⢀⣐⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⢠⡄⣽⣿⣟⠏⠁⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠙⣼⠃⠈⠢⠀⣻⣄⠀⠀⠐⠞⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠚⠉⠀⠈⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠊⠸⣿⣿⣽⠻⡮⡁⠀⡀⢻⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢢⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 4058 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/06/XpPen_Deco_01V3_review_on_GNU_Linux.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/06/XpPen_Deco_01V3_review_on_GNU_Linux.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ XpPen Deco 01V3 - review on GNU/ Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 06, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Default_buttons_layout_when_connected_to_a_GNU/Linux machine⦈_ Quoting: XpPen Deco 01V3 - review on GNU/Linux - David Revoy — What features are available out of the box? Basically, all primary functions are operational. In the absence of a dedicated driver, the XpPen Deco 01v3 emulates two standard devices: a generic pen, similar to those used with laptop-tablet PCs, and a standard keyboard for key input. Modern versions of GNOME and KDE, running under Wayland, can accurately detect the stylus coordinates and set the screen aspect ratio. Under X11, the xsetwacom command line utility can achieve similar results. The limitation of this emulation is that most of the shortcuts for the stylus buttons and pad buttons are hard-coded and cannot be changed without a dedicated driver. The default key mapping is shown in the figure below (see image). While not ideal, the default shortcuts are still useful. However, you will need to get used to using a pen without a right-click button, as an "eraser mode" is activated by holding down the button instead.
