All major operating systems have one, whether it's macOS or Windows. Many Linux distros will ship with a WM, depending on the Desktop Environment (DE). It's easier than you think to move between WMs on Linux, but that's the beauty of this open- source platform. You can customize just about any aspect of your PC. There are a few WMs available for Linux alone, many of which can be installed within a few minutes. A DE and WM are different, however. The former is a combination of multiple software, including login screens, a WM, widgets, application designs, colors, and more. Essentially, it's everything that's part of the desktop. A WM, however, is simply the control and management of windows, which can be found as part of a DE or installed manually. This allows you to use a DE with a different WM. Here's a shortlist of WMs you should consider using on your Linux PC.

a Linux client for Discord but it’s proprietary software. For open source enthusiasts there are viable alternatives which we explore. Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion here. * ⚓ wtype_-_xdotool_type_for_Wayland_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ wtype is a Wayland tool that allows you to simulate keyboard input like xdotool type for X11. This is accomplished via the virtual-keyboard Wayland protocol. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ KDE_Migrant_-_migrate_existing_KDE/Plasma/apps_configuration_to_a_new computer_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ KDE Migrant allows you to migrate your existing KDE configuration to a new computer. Good when changing computers or cloning one user configuration for other users. A single file browser and command-line script that allows you to backup your full or partial KDE configuration including apps, dotfiles and any customizations. It works for KDE Plasma widgets as well. It creates a ZIP file that you can transfer to a different computer to unzip it. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Netboard_-_share_your_clipboard_between_different_devices_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Netboard is a client/server application that allows to share your clipboard between different devices. It works by deploying a server, then running client on your devices to sync the clipboard. The server uses websockets or chunked http encoding to push data to client, and while it is easier to handle the client part with the netboard client, it’s perfectly possible to integrate it with anything else, like good old curl. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Machine_Learning_in_Linux:_RMBG-2-Studio_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ We evaluated RMBG-2-Studio using the Ubuntu 24.10 distro. In our previous reviews in this series, this section often involves a fairly complex installation process. However, this app is installed with Pinokio, a useful AI utility which makes installation a trivial affair. * ⚓ Tuesday_JS_-_visual_novel_engine_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ The engine uses standard HTML5 document elements such as div and img. This allows the use of any media format supported by browsers including vector graphics svg, gif animations and css styles. There is a version of the editor available as a standalone application for Android devices and desktops. All versions are fully compatible with each other and have the same interface. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Skanpage_-_simple_scanning_tool_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Skanpage is a simple scanning application optimized for multi- page document scanning. It can also scan and save single-page documents and images. It uses tesseract as an OCR engine. Through KSaneCore, Skanpage is relying on the SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backends for interfacing with the scanner hardware. This is free and open source software. ⢠⣿⣿⣿⣦⣾⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠉⠁⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⣩⣍⠁⢸⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿ ⠀⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠘⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣀⣰⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢦⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠻⢿⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠈⠉⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠛⠋⠉⠉⢩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡄⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠫⠉⠉⠙⠻⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⣤ ⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣟⣉⢰⣕⣿⣶⠶⢶⡄⡇⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⡉⠏⠀⣸⣿⠀⢨⣇⡀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⡏ ⣿⣿⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢄⣶⣴⣿⡟⠀⠀⠈⠋⠀⠈⠋⠁⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠲⢤⣿⣿⣿⣧⣄⠠⣀⢀⠖⣲⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣤⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢸⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡇⣼⣿⣿⠁ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣠⣾⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⢻⡇⠙⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⣶⣶⣦⣤⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣼⣿⡿⠃⠀ ⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⠇⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⠟⠀⠀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣾⣿⣿⣯⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠻⣿⣿⣦⣄⣠⣶⣤⣀⢀⣼⣿⣿⠘⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣯⡟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⠟⠛⢻⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣶⠎⣰⣿⣿⣿⠿⣾⡧⣄⣸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣶⡶⠈⠀⠀⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⣾⡿⢰⣩⣾⣿⣿⣶⣿⡷⠂⢻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⡀⢻⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣄⣹⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⡇⢫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⣀⡀⣴⣤⠀⢠⣤⣤⠀⠀⢀⣠⣈⠛⢛⣥⣴⣿⣿⣷⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣷⣤⣾⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⢼⣿⣿⣿⠏⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠸⣷⣿⡿⠛⠉⠀⠈⠛⠁⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⡀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣿⣿⠁⣿⣶⣫⣄⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠤⣤⣿⣿⠿⠷⠶⠶⠂⠲⠖⠀⠀⠀⠻⠿⠛⠻⠿⠿⠟⠋⠋⠉⠛⢛⣻⣥⣴⣿⠿⠛⠋⡀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⠀⢻⠏⠀⢀⣿⣿⣶⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣗⣃⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣰⠏⠀⠀⢰⣿⣷⣦⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡠⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠗⠀⢀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⣿⣧⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠈⠉⠉⠙⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 396 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/13/DXVK_2_6_Adds_NVIDIA_Reflex_Support_Improvements_for_Many_Games.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/13/DXVK_2_6_Adds_NVIDIA_Reflex_Support_Improvements_for_Many_Games.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ DXVK 2.6 Adds NVIDIA Reflex Support, Improvements for Many Games⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Mar 13, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇DXVK_2.6⦈_ Hightlights of DXVK 2.6 NVIDIA Reflex support for D3D11 games that support this feature, such as God of War, Overwatch 2, and Quake Champions, more robust Vulkan swapchain implementation, and improved efficiency of multisample resolves on tiling GPUs.

It is rarer, though, for those disputes to boil over to threats of legal action—but a disagreement between the Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) Studio project and Fedora packagers reached that point in mid- February. After escalation to a higher authority, things have been worked out to the satisfaction of the OBS project, but some lingering questions remain. How Fedora should prioritize Flatpak repositories, how to handle conflicts between upstreams and Fedora packagers, and the mechanics of removing or retiring Flatpaks all remain open questions. [...] Adoption of Flatpak has been on the upswing in the past few years. Some are even pushing for it to be the de facto method for installing software on the Linux desktop. Work on Flathub as a central repository for Flatpaks started in 2017, and it passed the one million active user mark last January. Flatpaks are being prioritized by GNOME as a way for distributing GNOME software, and it is the preferred and most expedient way to install applications on image-based distributions like Fedora's Atomic desktops, Bluefin, Aeon Desktop (based on openSUSE), and others because Flatpaks can be installed in the user's home directory and do not need to be installed system-wide. Fedora has its own Flatpak repository, which contains Flatpaks built from Fedora RPMs and distributed as OCI images. Fedora serves its Flatpak images and Linux container images from the same registry, and provides its own runtimes for applications rather than using the Freedesktop, KDE, or GNOME runtimes. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_build,_deploy,_and_manage_image_mode_for_RHEL⠀⇛ Image_mode_for_Red_Bait_Enterprise_Linux (RHEL) represents an alternative way to build, configure, install, deploy, and manage RHEL. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Try_Istio_ambient_mode_on_Red_Bait_OpenShift⠀⇛ Istio has long been a popular choice for managing microservices, offering traffic management, security, and observability in Kubernetes. But as powerful as it is, the traditional sidecar-based approach comes with its own challenges, which can be complex and resource intensive.

The offerings include courses such as: * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Open_discussion:_AI_strategies_for_banks [Ed: "AI Strategies for Scalable" just means more buzzwords, hype, Ponzi fund- raising]⠀⇛ These topics were recently discussed in a webinar, AI Strategies for Scalable, Secure and Compliant Banking, hosted by Finextra. During this session, Red Hat vice president and global head of financial services, Richard Harmon, and product manager, Will Caban, joined the CTO of Dwolla, Skylar Nesheim, and Finextra’s Sharon Kimathi to explore best practices and tools for AI integration in banking, highlighting the importance of open source models, generative AI (gen AI), the use of synthetic data and regulatory frameworks. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Enhancing_the_Kubernetes_pod_network_with_user- defined_networks⠀⇛ One of the most important components of that Kubernetes networking ecosystem is the Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin, which assigns pods within a cluster IP addresses, configures routes to establish network connectivity, and enforces security policies between pods within a cluster.  In the case of Red Hat OpenShift networking, the default CNI plugin is OVN-Kubernetes, a full-featured modern implementation of advanced networking capability, trusted by a gamut of customers ranging from telecommunication providers delivering 5G cellular networks to the world's leading banks running financial services infrastructures. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Benefits_of_an_open_approach_to_manufacturing execution_system_modernization⠀⇛ The MES market is a vibrant territory, with many incumbent players competing with start-ups and scale-ups. This is partly due to the fact that modern cloud-native and edge architectures, supported by hybrid and multi-cloud platforms such as Red Hat OpenShift, provide increased deployment flexibility.  Red Hat OpenShift can run on the public cloud, on-premises, virtualised, and on bare-metal. It increases resilience through Kubernetes-based container orchestration, including features like automated restarts of a failing container. OpenShift allows customers to reuse existing skills across data-center, cloud and edge deployment, developing and applying operations best-practices to streamline the entire application lifecycle for the most critical core manufacturing applications such as SCADA, MES, Data Management, and AI workloads. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 658 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/13/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_and_Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/13/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_and_Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software and Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 13, 2025 * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ # ⚓ WordPress ☛ WordPress_6.8_Beta_2⠀⇛ WordPress 6.8 Beta 2 is ready for download and testing!

Alas, that prediction mostly failed to materialize. Even though graphs are still used as a theoretical formalism in order to define and optimize functional languages (such as Haskell's spineless tagless graph-machine), they are still mostly compiled down to the same old non-parallel assembly code that every other language uses. Now, two projects — Bend and Vine — have sprung up attempting to change that, and prove that parallel graph reduction can be a useful technique for real programs. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 730 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/13/Games_Machine_Mind_Old_Skies_and_More.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/13/Games_Machine_Mind_Old_Skies_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Machine Mind, Old Skies, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 13, 2025 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Machine_Mind_blends_real-time_action_with_survival_and RTS_elements_to_make_a_fun_mix⠀⇛ Chudo-Yudo Games are working on Machine Mind, an interesting mixture of strategy and action genres blended together.

FineIBT is a software extension to IBT that is meant to improve its protection. Recently, though, Jennifer Miller reported a novel way to bypass FineIBT by taking advantage of how the kernel's system-call entry point is constructed. In response, Peter Zijlstra is working on some FineIBT enhancements to close that hole and make IBT more secure in general. The kernel (like many other programs) makes extensive use of indirect branches, typically in the form of a function call using a pointer value that is determined at run time. These indirect calls have always been an attractive target for attackers; if that pointer can be set to an attacker-controlled value, the call can be sent to an arbitrary location. Usually, that is all that is needed to gain control over the system. In a body of code as large as the kernel, there will surely be an instruction sequence that performs some useful operation for an attacker when it is invoked in an unexpected way. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Guard_pages_for_file-backed_memory⠀⇛ One of the many new features packed into the 6.13 kernel release was guard pages, a hardening mechanism that makes it possible to inject zero- access pages into a process's address space in an efficient way. That feature only supports anonymous (user-space data) pages, though. To make guard pages more widely useful, Lorenzo Stoakes has put together a patch set enabling the feature for file- backed pages as well; in the process, he examined and resolved a long list of potential problems that extending the feature could encounter. One potential problem was not on his list, though. The purpose of a guard page is to prevent buggy (or malicious) code from overrunning a memory region. An inaccessible page placed at the end of a region will cause a segmentation fault should the running process try to read or write to it; well-placed guard pages can trap a number of common buffer overruns and similar problems. Prior to 6.13, though, the only way to put a guard page into a process's address space was to set the protections on one or more pages with mprotect(); that works, but at the cost of creating a new virtual memory area (VMA) to contain the affected page(s). Placing a lot of guard pages will create a lot of VMAs, which can slow down many memory-management functions. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Remy Van Elst ☛ Safely_expose_the_Kubernetes_Dashboard_in Traefik_k3s_via_a_ServersTransport⠀⇛ I'm using the Headlamp dashboard for my [high- available local kubernetes cluster](/s/tutorials # ⚓ dwaves.de ☛ Debian_13_wifi_usb_adapter_trouble_(edimax works_:D)⠀⇛ o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ TecMint ☛ MangoHud_–_Monitor_FPS,_CPU_&_GPU_Load_in_Linux Games⠀⇛ It works as an overlay for Vulkan and OpenGL applications, displaying important information like FPS (frames per second), CPU and GPU usage, temperatures, and more. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Among_the_waves:_Plucky_Puffin⠀⇛ “For the latest 25.04 mascot, I wanted to capture the spirit of being ‘plucky’ in a fun and approachable way.

Consequently, when KDE Plasma 6.4 is released (scheduled for June 12), individual Linux distributions can opt to include only KWin Wayland or ship both KWin X11 and KWin Wayland, depending on their default display protocol and user preferences. Moreover, it is worth noting that KWin Wayland is now “de-facto” KWin moving forward, meaning users and distros will likely continue to see it simply packaged as “kwin.” While the naming decision ultimately lies with each distro, the KDE team recommends that any “kwin” package now be recognized as “kwin_wayland,” reflecting the project’s focus on Wayland.

Another lovely accomplishment on the Linux gaming front. In 2023, I wrote an article on my achievements so far, focused on Steam and Proton. But WINE on its own also works well in many cases, as my last three endeavors show. In particular, Max Payne is an excellent surprise. One folder, no great fussing, amazing hardware support. That's some solid forward thinking. I'm quite happy. Perhaps this isn't a critical piece of the puzzle in my migration away from Windows, but it is a piece, and a valuable one. Every little bit counts. Another way of looking at it is, well, let's move 98% of everything I do to Linux. That will be a great accomplishment, also. But never mind that right now. We wanted to play Max Payne, and pay it we can. Linux, WINE, one folder that has it all, and 4K support. Sweet. See you around, fellow nerds.

As such it can help developers to verify that their websites are working and performing well with all major browsers. The protocol is standardized by the W3C and consists of two separate specifications: WebDriver_classic (HTTP) and the new WebDriver BiDi (Bi-Directional). This newsletter gives an overview of the work we’ve done as part of the Firefox 136 release cycle. * ⚓ LWN ☛ A_look_at_Firefox_forks_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Mozilla's actions have been rubbing many Firefox fans the wrong way as of late, and inspiring them to look for alternatives. There are many choices for users who are looking for a browser that isn't part of the Chrome monoculture but is full-featured and suitable for day-to-day use. For those who are willing to stay in the Firefox "family" there are a number of good options that have taken vastly different approaches. This includes GNU IceCat, Floorp, LibreWolf, and Zen. [...] Mozilla has been disappointing a lot of Firefox users for years, but it seems the pace is accelerating. Its announcement on February 19 that it needs to "diversify" beyond Firefox did not inspire confidence, and it annoyed many who would like to see Mozilla go all-in on its flagship browser (and increase its market share) rather than chasing AI or dabbling in advertising. But a recent and more alarming example is its introduction of terms of use for the browser and the removal of its pledge not to sell users' personal data. Though it has backpedaled somewhat since, and rewritten its terms of use, the damage has been done. Firefox forking is hardly a new phenomenon. Debian began maintaining forks of Mozilla applications with minimal changes but different names due to conflicts between the Debian Free Software Guidelines and Mozilla's trademark-usage policy. (LWN covered this in 2005.) The era of Iceweasel, Debian's brand name for Firefox, came to an end in 2016. Note that the name Iceweasel is not merely a play on the name "Firefox"; its origin is one of Matt Groening's Life in Hell comic strips (here), which contained a fictional quote attributed to Friedrich Nietzsche. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Get_off_that_old_Firefox_or_you'll_be_sorry,_says_Moz [Ed: Digital Restrictions (DRM)]⠀⇛ If you're running an outdated version of Firefox, update by Friday or risk broken add-ons, failing DRM-protected [sic] media playback, and other errors, due to an expiring root certificate. * ⚓ Tor ☛ It_takes_a_(Global)_Village_to_Fight_Censorship⠀⇛ It's World Day Against Cyber Censorship, a great occasion to remind ourselves of the early optimism surrounding the internet. Once envisioned as a force for global connection and free-flowing information, the internet has instead (d)evolved into a place where access to knowledge and privacy are increasingly under threat. Big Tech has monopolized its infrastructure, and governments all over the world are too eager to capitalize. This unprecedented access to data on citizens has fueled societal polarization, misinformation and disinformation, and online harms. Lack of access to verified, truthful information, the targeting of journalists and their sources to impede the production of truthful news, and online censorship that blocks specific sites and stops people from accessing good information have become rampant. * ⚓ Rust Weekly Updates ☛ This_Week_In_Rust:_This_Week_in_Rust_590⠀⇛ Hello and welcome to another issue of This Week in Rust! ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1378 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/13/Open_Hardware_and_Linux_Devices.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/13/Open_Hardware_and_Linux_Devices.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware and Linux Devices⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 13, 2025 * ⚓ Arduino ☛ This_Arduino_device_helps_‘split_the_G’_on_a_pint_of Guinness⠀⇛ Guinness is one of those beers (specifically, a stout) that people take seriously and the Guinness brand has taken full advantage of that in their marketing.

All-cardboard packaging is en vogue with most OEMs at the moment, and many e- reader companies are using recycled plastic cases on their devices, but no company has fully embraced the DIY scene quite like Supernote has. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Meta_is_reportedly_testing_its_first_RISC-V_based_AI chip_for_AI_training⠀⇛ Meta is reportedly testing its first RISC-V based Hey Hi (AI) chip for Hey Hi (AI) training Meta is evaluating its Hey Hi (AI) training accelerator, which could reduce its reliance on Nvidia's Hey Hi (AI) GPUs for training. [...] Meta was one of the first companies to build its RISC-V- based chips for AI inference several years ago to cut costs and reduce reliance on Nvidia. Reuters reports that the company went one step further and designed (presumably with Broadcom's assistance) its in-house accelerator for AI training. If the chip meets Meta's goals, it may reduce its reliance on high-end Nvidia AI GPUs —such as H100/H200 and B100/B200—for training advanced large-language models. * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Raspberry_Pi_wins_2024_Europe_TSMC_Trophy_for_embedded computing_innovation⠀⇛ We are delighted to share that Raspberry Pi has been awarded the coveted 2024 Europe TSMC Trophy.

The two companies then moved OpenStack to the OpenStack Foundation, which has steadfastly shepherded the project through its many ups and downs. Right now, with the controversy around Broadcom’s licensing changes to VMware’s offerings, OpenStack is back on an upswing, as enterprises look for an alternative. * ⚓ PR Newswire ☛ Open_Infrastructure_Foundation_Board_Announces_Intent_to Join_the_Linux_Foundation_to_Amplify_the_Global_Impact_of_Open_Source⠀⇛ Today, the Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, announced that the Open Infrastructure Foundation (OpenInfra) has signaled its intent to join as a member foundation, following unanimous approval from both the OpenInfra and Linux Foundation boards. Together, the Linux Foundation and the OpenInfra Foundation will unite their growing, vibrant, global ecosystems to empower users and developers with trusted open source solutions. * ⚓ Network World ☛ At_long_last,_OpenStack_(now_known_as_OpenInfra Foundation)_joins_Linux_Foundation⠀⇛ After more than a decade as an independent open-source foundation, the OpenStack project is joining the Linux Foundation in a move aimed at accelerating collaboration across the open infrastructure ecosystem. Fifteen years ago, Rackspace got together with NASA and created the open-source OpenStack project. Over the next two years, as OpenStack’s technology and user base grew, there were many discussions among participants about moving the technology to an open-source foundation. One of the leading options was to join the Linux Foundation, but that didn’t happen. Instead, in 2012, the OpenStack Foundation was created, which changed its name to the Open Infrastructure (OpenInfra) Foundation in 2020. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ OpenInfra_has_only_gone_and_joined_the_Linux Foundation⠀⇛ The votes are in, confirming that the Open Infrastructure Foundation intends to join the Linux Foundation. The vote was unanimous. It was also unthinkable a few short years ago when OpenStack (as it was known then) and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) were fierce rivals for the hearts and minds of developers and customers. Where OpenStack was all about an open source cloud infrastructure on which applications could run, CNCF's Kubernetes provided a vendor- neutral way of orchestrating container-based applications. OpenInfra arguably lost the fight years ago, a fact made glaringly obvious when stalwarts such as the veteran Linux vendor SUSE decided to drop SUSE OpenStack Cloud in 2019 and go all-in with Kubernetes. At SUSECON25, The Register asked SUSE chief technology and product officer Thomas Di Giacomo if, more than five years on, the company had any regrets about the decision. Di Giacomo was blunt: "There's no reason to revisit it." * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ The_Linux_Foundation's_latest_partnership_could_shake_up_open- source_ecosystems_-_here's_why [Ed: LF-sponsored puff piece]⠀⇛ To strengthen the open-source community, the Linux Foundation and the Open Infrastructure Foundation (OpenInfra) have announced plans for OpenInfra to join the Linux Foundation as a member foundation.

For example, root.Open ("a/../b") is permitted. Filenames are resolved using the semantics of the local platform: On Unix systems, this will follow any symlink in "a" (so long as that link does not escape the root); while on backdoored Windows systems this will open "b" (even if "a" does not exist). * ⚓ Buttondown LLC ☛ New_Blog_Post:_"A_Perplexing_Javascript_Parsing Puzzle"⠀⇛ I know I said we'd be back to normal newsletters this week and in fact had 80% of one already written.

This is a "soft launch" in that we're sharing work in progress that's sufficiently evolved to put it out there to the public, but you won't see it in production anywhere yet.

Django's admin site is no different: and, because Django's admin DSL is very magic-string-y, there's a lot of stuff that never gets caught by CI or mypy until a lovely CS agent informs me that something is blowing up in their face. * § Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Redowan Delowar ☛ Nil_comparisons_and_Go_interface⠀⇛ Comparing interface values in Go has caught me off guard a few times, especially with nils.

To prove the attack capabilities of their botnets, some operators use third- party botnet attack measurement services for validation. They direct their botnets to attack servers provided by these measurement services. The measurement services then collect and analyse information such as the size of attack traffic, packet rates, geographic locations of the attack sources, ASNs, and attack methods. After receiving these statistics, the botnet operators post them on their social media platforms to demonstrate the power of their botnets. o ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ X_suffered_a_DDoS_attack._Its_CEO_and_security researchers_can't_agree_on_who_did_it.

At Pwn2Own Automotive 2024, NCC Group security researchers Alex Plaskett and McCaulay Hudson combined a trio of zero-day exploits together to burrow inside of the Pioneer DMH and plant spyware capable of exfiltrating a variety of data: phone call and browsing histories, Wi-Fi passwords, geolocations, and more. And because it pulled all that data in real time, Hudson notes, "you could just watch a driver, for example, driving down the street, and see their GPS location moving.

The name "Zotero" is derived from an Albanian verb meaning "to master", reflecting the project's aim to empower users to manage their research data. The project was launched in October 2006 and was first released to the public as a Firefox browser extension. It is now maintained by the nonprofit Corporation for Digital Scholarship. In 2011, the development team addressed the limitations of the browser-extension model by introducing a standalone version of Zotero and allowed integration with multiple web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari, via browser extensions. The Zotero client application, and its plugins, are primarily written in JavaScript; Zotero uses SQLite to store data locally. Zotero is available under the Affero General Public License (AGPL). The project encourages users to contribute by developing code, providing support to other users on the forum, or writing documentation. The community provides and maintains numerous plugins that extend the application's functionality and customization options, as well as its integration with other software. For example, Better BibTeX adds features for managing data with text-based toolchains like LaTeX and Markdown, while Better Notes extends Zotero's note-taking capabilities. There are dozens of community-supplied plugins to choose from, and users can also write their own, of course. According to the project's GitHub page, 76 people have contributed to its development. The pull requests and issues sections are fairly active, as is the discussion forum, which is the recommended venue for support. A complete version history of the project is available all the way back to the 1.0 release. * ⚓ Kdenlive ☛ Kdenlive_24.12.3_released⠀⇛ The last maintenance release of the 24.12 cycle is out. * ⚓ Faizul_"Piju"_9M2PJU:_Experience_the_Ultimate_Audio_Player:_Strawberry Music_Player⠀⇛ In the world of music players, finding a feature-rich, high- performance application that respects user privacy can be a challenge. Many modern music players are either bloated with unnecessary features, locked behind paywalls, or designed with intrusive data collection practices. But what if there was a player that offered the best of all worlds—high-quality playback, extensive format support, powerful music library management, and complete privacy? Enter Strawberry Music Player—a robust, open-source audio player that is tailored for audiophiles and music lovers alike. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2198 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/13/Stable_kernels_Linux_6_13_7_Linux_6_12_19_Linux_6_6_83_Linux_6_.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/13/Stable_kernels_Linux_6_13_7_Linux_6_12_19_Linux_6_6_83_Linux_6_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Stable kernels: Linux 6.13.7, Linux 6.12.19, Linux 6.6.83, Linux 6.1.131, Linux 5.15.179, Linux 5.10.235, and Linux 5.4.291⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 13, 2025 I'm announcing the release of the 6.13.7 kernel.

☛ Style_Stage_from_Modern_CSS_Solutions⠀⇛ In 2003, Dave Shea began a legendary project called CSS Zen Garden that provided a demonstration of "what can be accomplished through CSS-based design" until submissions stopped in 2013. Style Stage seeks to rekindle that spirit by providing this page as the base HTML for contributors - like you! - to re- style by submitting an alternate stylesheet. * ⚓ Brad Taunt ☛ Setup_an_OpenBSD_VM_on_macOS_Using_UTM⠀⇛ The UTM app for macOS is an excellent piece of software for those wanting a streamlined GUI when working with virtual machines. Their existing Gallery of pre-built images is great, but it currently lacks any of the BSDs. Lucky for us, creating your own OpenBSD VM is very straightforward. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ How_to_Use_PlayOnLinux_to_Install_Windows_Apps_on_Linux⠀⇛ Unlike Wine, which requires command-line knowledge and manual configuration, some programs provide a user-friendly graphical interface that streamlines the entire process. One such program is PlayOnLinux. Let's find out what it is and whether it's still a viable way to handle Windows applications on Linux. § What Is PlayOnLinux? PlayOnLinux serves as a graphical front-end for Wine, which is a compatibility layer that allows you to enjoy Windows software on Linux without installing a full Windows virtual machine. PlayOnLInux is especially appealing if, like me, you find Wine's command-line complexity daunting. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2712 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/13/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/13/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 13, 2025 * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o ⚓ Built In ☛ Navigating_the_Enterprise_Challenge_of_Linux Management⠀⇛ Linux, the open-source family of operating systems preferred by developers, is at an all-time high. Today, it accounts for almost 5 percent of the global desktop market, double where it was two years ago, according to a report from Statcounter. This represents a big jump in absolute numbers and is especially impressive for an essentially free product line without marketing muscle. Interestingly, enterprises are getting in on the operating system act as much as consumers, citing smoother implementation than Microsoft and better affordability than Apple. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ FOSS_Weekly_#25.11:_Limit_Battery_Charging, File_Searching,_Sudo_Tweaks_and_More_GNU/Linux_Stuff⠀⇛ Go with the flow and open source :) o § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ The_commodification_of_desktop_GUI behavior⠀⇛ Desktop GUIs differ in how they look and to some extent in how you do certain things and how you expect 'native' programs to behave; I'm sure the fans of any particular platform can tell you all about little behaviors that they expect from native applications that imported ones lack. But I think we've pretty much converged on a set of fundamental behaviors for how to interact with GUI programs, or at least how to deal with basic ones, so in a lot of cases the question about GUIs is how things look, not how you do things at all. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ FreeBSD ☛ Improvements_to_the_FreeBSD_CI/CD_systems⠀⇛ FreeBSD’s continuous integration system enables developers to discover regressions automatically through comprehensive tests. This effort aims to make adoption by new developers less cumbersome and reduce the time and effort required for new contributions to be developed. Some of the highlights this work aims to make improvements on: [...] o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Synaptics_Astra_SR_series_Arm_Cortex-M55 MCUs_feature_Arm_Ethos-U55_NPU,_low-power_Cortex-M4_core_with microNPU⠀⇛ Synaptics unveiled an extension to its Astra Native Hey Hi (AI) platform with the new SR series of MCUs. This new product family, unlike the Astra SL series released last year, isn’t comprised of Linux-capable application processors. Instead, the Arm Cortex-M55 microcontrollers focus on providing high-performance, AI-native processing for Edge Hey Hi (AI) applications leveraging a built-in Arm Ethos-U55 NPU. # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ IMDT_V2N_SBC:_A_Vision-AI_Computing_Platform with_Dual_MIPI_CSI_and_Renesas_RZ/V2N_Processor⠀⇛ IMDT has introduced its latest System-on-Module and Single-Board Computer, both powered by the Renesas RZ/V2N processor. These new platforms are designed to deliver cost-effective, high-performance Hey Hi (AI) computing at the edge, supporting applications in robotics, smart cities, industrial automation, IoT, and smart retail. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Some_views_on_the_common_Apache modules_for_SAML_or_OIDC_authentication⠀⇛ Suppose that you want to restrict access to parts of your Apache based website but you want something more sophisticated and modern than Apache Basic HTTP authentication. The traditional reason for this was to support 'single sign on' across all your (internal) websites; the modern reason is that a central authentication server is the easiest place to add full multi-factor authentication. The two dominant protocols for this are SAML and OIDC. There are commonly available Apache authentication modules for both protocols, in the form of Mellon (also) for SAML and OpenIDC for OIDC. # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Mozilla_Security_Blog:_Enhancing_CA Practices:_Key_Updates_in_Mozilla_Root_Store_Policy, v3.0⠀⇛ Mozilla remains committed to fostering a secure, agile, and transparent Web PKI ecosystem. The new Mozilla_Root_Store_Policy_ (MRSP)_v3.0, effective March 15, 2025, introduces critical updates to strengthen Certificate Authority (CA) practices and enhance compliance. o § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ MariaDB_reboots_DBaaS_plans_with_open source_at_the_core⠀⇛ Speaking to The Register, De Souza says MariaDB is planning to build another database service and serverless system through closer collaboration with its open source community, which might arrive later this year or early next year. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Evan Hahn ☛ Filling_in_the_gaps_of_the_internet⠀⇛ Here’s a small philosophy I have about the [Internet]: I believe that it’s my duty to publish the answer to previously-unanswered questions. That way, the next person who comes along has an easier time. # ⚓ PowerDNS ☛ FOSDEM_2025:_A_Look_Back_at_the_DNS_Devroom⠀⇛ Beyond the many talks and discussions with fellow open-source enthusiasts, the highlight for our PowerDNS engineers was, of course, the DNS Devroom. We were honored to co-organize this track and were thrilled with the diverse lineup of speakers and topics.

This is common for backups and for maintaining secondary servers ready for failover. Using ZFS to send and receive manually is not as simple as scp or rsync, so some of the tools also provide a simple interface for one-off transfers. However, the performance and efficiency improvements of the ZFS replication feature make it worth the additional setup. While automatic snapshots were our focus in the previous article, snapshots are critical to ZFS replication because they are the atomic unit of change that zfs send uses to track the current state and the difference in the version of the data on the remote system. The technology behind ZFS snapshots allows for efficient transfers of only incremental changes. Unlike rsync, ZFS doesn’t have to compare the blocks on both sides to know what has changed. Using the snapshots, it can easily generate a list of every changed block between a pair of snapshots using only the birth times of the blocks in question. * ⚓ Wheatstone_Adds_Linux_Audio_Driver⠀⇛ Wheatstone will show a new Linux audio driver for the WheatNet IP network at the NAB Show. “The audio driver enables bidirectional audio streaming over the WheatNet IP network and is the latest addition based on Linux OS by Wheatstone,” the company said in its announcement. “Linux is known for its stability as an open-source operating system without the hidden vulnerabilities often associated with Windows OS.” Wheatstone will continue to offer its Windows audio driver. * ⚓ Wheatstone_looks_to_Linux_for_NAB_Show⠀⇛ Wheatstone to intro Linux audio driver at NAB Show Broadcast equipment maker, and increasingly software developer, Wheatstone is bringing a WheatNet IP network-based Linux audio driver to the show.
