Do you feel tired of app recommendation lists that start and end with LibreOffice or GIMP? Let's look at a few hidden gems in the Linux app ecosystem. The best thing about Linux is access to a vast collection of open- source software—powerful apps that are not only free but respect your privacy. However, because most open-source developers don't have marketing budgets, very few folks know these tools even exist. Finding them typically requires digging through Linux forums, GitHub pages, and hours of testing. Luckily for you, I've done all that legwork. After years of exploring, testing, and incorporating these tools into my daily workflow, I've compiled a list of seven little-known Linux apps that I, personally, can't live without. I'm confident you'll find at least a few of these indispensable for your own setup.

Also this week, the IPFire hardened Linux firewall received a big kernel bump, the upcoming Mesa 25.1 graphics stack promises a big change for NVIDIA GPU users, the KDE Project released the KDE Frameworks 6.12 software suite, and Debian published new installation media for the Debian 12 Bookworm series. In other news, Ubuntu devs consider replacing GNU Coreutils with Rust-based uutils starting with Ubuntu 25.10, due out in October 2025, Bodhi Linux devs work on a brand-new theme for the upcoming Bodhi Linux 8 release, and Chimera Linux devs drop support for RISC-V builds due to the lack of capable RISC- V hardware. On top of that, I take a look at the brand-new Garuda COSMIC edition and tell you all about the new features coming to the LXQt 2.2 desktop. Below, you can check out this week’s hottest news and access all the distro and package downloads released this past week in the 9to5Linux weekly roundup for March 16th, 2025.

With an estimated 240 million PCs unable to meet the stringent hardware requirements for Windows 11, these organizations face a difficult decision: provide potentially insecure Windows 10 systems, send them to e-waste recyclers, or explore alternative operating systems like Linux. [...] Sorensen notes that attitudes toward Linux have changed over time. "Ten years ago, if we distributed Linux, they would be like 'What is it?'" he says. Today, many users view their computers primarily as gateways to the internet, making user-friendly Linux distributions like Mint more acceptable.

It provides you with lots of functionality that is tedious and difficult to build, such as efficient STL like container classes, a high-performance scenegraph, resource streaming and much more. It can be used to build the tech for games, as well as for industry applications. In many code bases the lower level functionality is messy and buggy, because it is hard (and boring) to build these parts, and game developers rather spend time on making pretty pictures. In EZ the base functionality is clean, consistent, efficient and fully unit- tested. It builds on Windows, Mac, Linux and Android.

I knew the bare minimum about man pages, but my understanding of sections was limited, and I didn’t know about the manpath command at all. More importantly, I didn’t know much about the composition of man pages on my systems, and I certainly didn’t realize how much space they dedicated to Perl or git-config. This exercise made me nostalgic for my earlier days with Linux, when everything was ripe for exploring. After years—even decades—of use, it’s easy to become complacent and stop asking questions about the underlying system. I’ve been reminded that peeking behind the curtain can be an effective way of learning, and I’ll try to feed that inquisitive nature just a little bit more in the future.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I have my Android, but typing on phones has never been easy for me. I like touch typing and I'm very good at it (I should be, given how much I write). On the few occasions I have had to actually write and edit on a phone, it was horrible, so I avoid it at all costs. But what do I do when I'm on the go and I don't have room in my bag for a full-sized laptop? I go mini. Or, shall I say, tiny. The Piccolo N150 Netbook is an eight-inch "mini laptop" that looks sort of like a tablet or one of those old-school electronic organizers from the '90s. When I first received this device to review, I was giddy upon handling it. I always loved miniaturized things as a kid, and the Piccolo speaks to something nostalgic.

In this guide, I’ll first walk you through how to build a Raspberry Pi 5 with maximum performance so you can use it for everything it’s capable of.

These ungrateful people, clearly lacking the refined aesthetic sensibilities required to appreciate Apple's hermetically sealed, unibody masterpieces, have clamored for the right to repair, poke, and violate the pristine innards of their iDevices. Apple, in its infinite wisdom, has long resisted, knowing that such barbaric practices would inevitably lead to chaos, shattered screens, and the unspeakable horror of... non- OEM parts.

The company’s senior official, Richard Yu, said earlier that the next-gen PCs won’t run on Microsoft Windows. But before switching to the self-developed OS, the company is trying to adapt to the Linux operating system for its top-end notebooks. While Huawei smartphones and tablets run on HarmonyOS, the company’s notebook line relies on foreign technologies (Windows OS and Intel chips). However, Microsoft’s license to supply Windows to Huawei will expire this month and won’t be renewed due to strict U.S. trade export regulations. * ⚓ Hackster ☛ Turning_a_Raspberry_Pi_Into_a_CNC_Controller_with_Linux_CNC —_and_a_GPIO-Connected_Parallel_HAT⠀⇛ Pseudonymous maker "audioartillery" has penned a guide to running a computer numeric control (CNC) mill or other device from a Raspberry Pi single-board computer — directly, using its general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins rather than an external controller board.

If your codebase is modular enough, you can put that off for a while, but eventually you’ll reach a point where sensible code changes require more context than the LLM can contain. The other big problem is that you didn’t write the code, so you don’t understand it. If you need to answer a question about how the code works, or to build a feature onto it yourself, you have to spend a long time figuring that out. In other words: Code is not the most valuable artifact. Your understanding of the codebase is. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ The_ellmer_package_for_using_LLMs_with_R_is_a_game_changer_for scientists⠀⇛ Before ellmer you had to know other languages and data- structures, like JSON. Ellmer means that many powerful LLM uses are now easily accessible to R users. Tool use means the LLM can run commands on your computer to retrieve information. You know how LLMs can be bad at simple math like 2+2 or today’s date? Well, with a tool, the LLM would know to use R to calculate this to return the correct answer. Tools can also connect to web APIs, means they can also be used to retrieve information or databases from the web. * ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ Speeding_up_C++_code_with_template_lambdas⠀⇛ If the divisor d is known at compile-time, this function can be much faster. E.g., if d is 2, the compiler might optimize away the division and use a shift and a few cheap instructions instead. The same is true with all compile-time constant: the compiler can often do better knowing the constant. * ⚓ Karl Seguin ☛ ArenaAllocator.free_and_Nested_Arenas⠀⇛ What happens when you free with an ArenaAllocator? You might be tempted to look at the documentation for std.mem.Alloctor.free which says "Free an array allocated with alloc". But this is the one thing we're sure it won't do. In its current implementation, calling free usually does nothing: the freed memory isn't made available for subsequent allocations by the arena, and it certainly isn't released back to the operating system. However, under specific conditions free will make the memory re-usable by the arena. The only way to really "free" the memory is to call deinit. * ⚓ Benoit Daloze ☛ Matching_Regexps_200_Times_Faster⠀⇛ There has been a couple attempts since then to optimize it further using SIMD instructions. This is however quite difficult and messy to do in C as it’s similar to writing inline assembly (N times, with N the number of SIMD variants), and it’s not portable so it needs both compile-time and run- time detection to pick the correct SIMD variant. In this blog post we compare 3 contenders for the job of converting Ruby Strings to JSON Strings. * ⚓ [Old] Artyom Bologov ☛ Codeberg_Pages_with_SSL_and_Custom_Domain⠀⇛ So I decided to do the most Saturday evening thing programmers do: migrate my website to an absolutely different hosting setup. To Codeberg Pages. Codeberg doesn't offer some of the features Gitlab provides. In particular, no CI/CD/website builds, and no automatic SSL certificates. Thus this post: to document what I went through to reproduce my current setup on Codeberg: [...] * ⚓ Artyom Bologov ☛ How_I_Write_Generics⠀⇛ Generic functions are beautiful as an idea. But they are also somewhat ugly as a syntax. My (ab)use of generics led to a certain programming style. This style, I conjecture, ends up in more readable and correct functions. Although it's up to you whether to believe me. This post will be structured around what generics are. This overview will explain intuition behind my style of writing generics. With examples and reasoning, of course. In the end, I'll share a small macro that nicely abstracts away some of my conventions. Don't expect some eye-opening experience, it's mostly about formatting and ordering of generic options. Still, helps in setting up style guides. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1582 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/16/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/16/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 16, 2025 * ⚓ BSDly ☛ 2025-03-13_[Older]_No_Project_Is_an_Island:_Why_You_Need_SBOMs and_Dependency_Management⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-03-07_[Older]_Texas_Man_Convicted_of_Sabotaging_his_Employer’s Computer_Systems_and_Deleting_Data⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-03-13_[Older]_South_Korea:_Modetour_Network_fined_740_million_won for_hacking_incident;_Meta_loses_appeal_of_6.7_billion_won_fine⠀⇛ * ⚓ Taiwan News ☛ 2025-03-07_[Older]_Taipei’s_Mackay_Memorial_Hospital patient_information_allegedly_sold_online⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-03-07_[Older]_Hackers_expose_information_for_700,000_current_and former_Chicago_students,_district_says⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-03-08_[Older]_SSK_Plastic_Surgery_discloses_it_experienced_a_hack and_extortion_attempt_in_2024⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-03-13_[Older]_FMS:_YAP_Health_Services_disrupted_by_ransomware attack⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-03-08_[Older]_Extensive_US_public_school_employee_data_compromise reported_from_Carruth_Compliance_Consulting_breach⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-03-09_[Older]_Endless_Mountains_Health_Systems_affected_by cyberattack;_patients_alerted_to_situation⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-03-09_[Older]_Akira_ransomware_gang_used_an_unsecured_webcam_to bypass_EDR⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-03-11_[Older]_Sunflower_Medical_Group_notifies_220,968_of_December cyberattack_by_Rhysida⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-03-11_[Older]_Center_for_Digestive_Health_notifies_patients_of April_2024_cyberattack⠀⇛ * ⚓ Bleeping Computer ☛ 2025-03-12_[Older]_Swiss_critical_sector_faces_new 24-hour_cyberattack_reporting_rule⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-03-12_[Older]_Pinehurst_Radiology_Associates_remains_closed_more than_1_month_after_cyberattack⠀⇛ o § CISA and Government⠀➾ # ⚓ 2025-03-08_[Older]_White_House_cyber_director’s_office_set for_more_power_under_Cheeto_Mussolini,_experts_say⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2025-03-13_[Older]_CISA_Adds_Two_Known_Exploited Vulnerabilities_to_Catalog⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2025-03-13_[Older]_CISA_Releases_Thirteen_Industrial Control_Systems_Advisories⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2025-03-13_[Older]_Siemens_Teamcenter_Visualization and_Tecnomatrix_Plant_Simulation⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2025-03-13_[Older]_Siemens_SINEMA_Remote_Connect Server⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2025-03-13_[Older]_Siemens_SIMATIC_S7-1500_TM_MFP⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2025-03-13_[Older]_Siemens_SiPass_integrated_AC5102/ ACC-G2_and_ACC-AP⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2025-03-13_[Older]_Siemens_SINAMICS_S200⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2025-03-13_[Older]_Siemens_SCALANCE_LPE9403⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2025-03-13_[Older]_Siemens_SCALANCE_M-800_and_SC-600 Families⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2025-03-13_[Older]_Siemens_Tecnomatix_Plant Simulation⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2025-03-13_[Older]_Siemens_OPC_UA⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2025-03-13_[Older]_Siemens_SINEMA_Remote_Connect Client⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2025-03-13_[Older]_Siemens_SIMATIC_IPC_Family, ITP1000,_and_Field_PGs⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2025-03-13_[Older]_Sungrow_iSolarCloud_Android_App WiNet_Firmware⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2025-03-11_[Older]_CISA_Adds_Six_Known_Exploited Vulnerabilities_to_Catalog⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2025-03-11_[Older]_CISA_Releases_Two_Industrial Control_Systems_Advisories⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2025-03-11_[Older]_Schneider_Electric_Uni-Telway Driver⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2025-03-11_[Older]_Optigo_Networks_Visual_BACnet Capture_Tool/Optigo_Visual_Networks_Capture_Tool⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2025-03-10_[Older]_CISA_Adds_Five_Known_Exploited Vulnerabilities_to_Catalog⠀⇛ # § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾ # ⚓ CISA ☛ #StopRansomware:_Medusa_Ransomware⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1740 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/16/SystemRescue_12_Released_with_Bcachefs_Support.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/16/SystemRescue_12_Released_with_Bcachefs_Support.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ SystemRescue 12 Released with Bcachefs Support⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 16, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇SystemRescue_12⦈_ Quoting: SystemRescue 12 Released with Bcachefs Support — SystemRescue, a lightweight Arch-based Linux distro designed as a powerful toolkit for data recovery, system repair, and disk management, has just released version 12, which includes a major upgrade to the LTS Linux kernel, moving to v6.12.19.

Handbook ☛ How_to_Restore_Deleted_Files_Under_/etc_Directory_in Ubuntu⠀⇛ Messed up or mistakenly deleted configuration files under /etc directory, but no backup? Here’s how to restore the files just like they were originally installed. In Linux, the /etc directory is the location for storing system-wide configuration files. * ⚓ peppe8o ☛ Incremental_Rotary_Encoder_with_Raspberry_PI_Computer: Connect_and_Use⠀⇛ In this tutorial, I will show you how to connect and use an Incremental Rotary Encoder with Raspberry PI computer boards. I will also show you the Python code, explaining it line by line. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Here's_How_I_Control_My_Linux_Computer_From_My_iPhone⠀⇛ If you're a Linux user who also rocks an iPhone you probably noticed Apple doesn't go out of its way to integrate with the Linux system. Thanks to KDE Connect, you can make them play nice with each other. Here's how to get started. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2214 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/16/today_s_howtos.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/16/today_s_howtos.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 16, 2025 * ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ view-source_explorers_welcome⠀⇛ We can do better though, especially with handcrafted artisan websites. For quite a while, I’ve added little comments in the HTML for all those web adventurers participating in the view- source exploration and wanting to learn more. I’ve also chosen to not minimise all the assets because I want them to be human- readable at the expense of a few extra kilos of Javascript. If you’re not familiar with the concept, you can view the source code of the website (like this one!) by right clicking on the page and selecting View page source. * ⚓ [Old] Chillybin Web Design ☛ Would_You_Like_Another_Bowl_Of_Div_Soup?_| Chillybin⠀⇛ As long as their code accomplishes the goal, that’s good enough for them. While this methodology isn’t great, it wouldn’t be that bad if they were the only ones that ever had to touch the code they write. Unfortunately, this is not the case. In both web and software development, there are multiple developers working on the same project. There are also cases of developers leaving a project and new developers picking up where they’ve left off. This is where writing good or bad code makes a big impact on the ease of development. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Some_notes_on_configuring_Dovecot_to authenticate_via_OIDC/OAuth2⠀⇛ Suppose, not hypothetically, that you have a relatively modern Dovecot server and a shiny new OIDC identity provider server ('OP' in OIDC jargon, 'IdP' in common usage), and you would like to get Dovecot to authenticate people's logins via OIDC. Ignoring certain practical problems, the way this is done is for your mail clients to obtain an OIDC token from your IdP, provide it to Dovecot via SASL OAUTHBEARER, and then for Dovecot to do the critical step of actually validating that token it received is good, still active, and contains all the information you need. Dovecot supports this through OAuth v2.0 authentication as a passdb (password database), but in the usual Dovecot fashion, the documentation on how to configure the parameters for validating tokens with your IdP is a little bit lacking in explanations. So here are some notes. * ⚓ Octet Font ☛ Kerning,_the_Hard_Way⠀⇛ The pattern of vertical stripes means that kerns can only be a multiple of the stripe repeat (not quite true, and i have sketched out more general versions of this, but it is true for this font). The gaps in the pattern help avoid solid black-to-black joins, which might work when everything is a vector, but tend to leave sub-1-pixel gaps when rasterised. The gaps are also why a glyph isn’t split down the middle to make the .left and .right parts. That would leave a sub-1-pixel gap when rejoining. Better to split at a gap. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Change_SSH_Default_Port_on_OpenSUSE⠀⇛ Securing your server is paramount in today’s digital landscape. One crucial step you can take is changing the default SSH port. The Secure Shell (SSH) protocol is a vital tool for remote server access, allowing administrators to securely manage their systems from anywhere in the world. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_DataGrip_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ DataGrip is a sophisticated Integrated Development Environment (IDE) designed for database management, offering extensive support for various database systems. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Long Term Support) provides a stable and robust platform for developers and database administrators. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OpenLDAP_on_CentOS_Stream_10⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install OpenLDAP on CentOS Stream 10. OpenLDAP is a powerful, open-source implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), widely used for centralized authentication and directory services in GNU/Linux environments. It provides a robust framework for managing user identities, permissions, and access control across networks. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Budgie_Desktop_on_Fedora_41⠀⇛ Fedora 41 stands out as a versatile and robust GNU/Linux distribution, favored for its commitment to open-source principles and cutting-edge software. If you’re seeking a seamless blend of modern aesthetics and efficient performance, look no further. Installing the Budgie Desktop environment on Fedora 41 offers a compelling alternative to the default GNOME desktop. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_AMD_Radeon_Driver_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ Installing AMD Radeon drivers on Debian 12 can be a straightforward process for some users, while others might face challenges depending on their specific GPU model. Debian’s conservative approach to package inclusion means that newer AMD graphics cards often require additional steps to achieve optimal performance. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_ELK_Stack_on_openSUSE⠀⇛ The ELK Stack, comprising Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana, is a powerful suite of tools designed for log management, data visualization, and security analytics. It allows you to aggregate, search, and analyze logs from various sources, providing real-time insights into your infrastructure and applications. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_PhotoFlare_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ PhotoFlare stands out as an intuitive image editor designed specifically for GNU/Linux users seeking powerful yet accessible photo editing capabilities. With Debian 12 (Bookworm) now firmly established as a reliable distribution choice, integrating PhotoFlare into your system provides an excellent option for handling everyday image editing tasks. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Fragments_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ In the vast ecosystem of BitTorrent clients available for Linux, Fragments stands out as a modern, user-friendly option specifically designed for the GNOME desktop environment. * ⚓ Linux Host Support ☛ Using_OpenSSL_s_client_commands_to_test_SSL connectivity⠀⇛ OpenSSL is an open-source software library that provides cryptographic functions and tools for secure communication over computer networks. It supports implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols, essential for encrypting data transmitted over the Internet and ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. OpenSSL comes preinstalled on almost all GNU/Linux distributions. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2409 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/16/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/16/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 16, 2025 § GNU/Linux⠀➾ * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ This_Week_in_Linux_302:_KDE_Devs_launch_a_company,_CrossOver_25, Garuda_Linux,_&_more_GNU/Linux_news⠀⇛ v This week in Linux, we have so much to talk about. First of all, KDE developers have launched their own company called TechPaladin Software. Also, the CodeWeavers team has released the latest version of their crossover software with Crossover 25. The Garuda GNU/Linux team have the latest release of their distribution called Broadwing. And also the EFF, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, has released a new open source tool for detecting Cell Site Simulators called RayHunter. And we'll talk about what all that meant later in the show. All of this and more on This Week in Linux, the weekly news show that keeps you up to date with what's going on in the GNU/Linux and open source world. Now let's jump right into Your Source for GNU/Linux GNews. This Week in Linux o ⚓ Tux Digital ☛ This_Week_in_Linux_302:_KDE_Devs_launch_a_company, CrossOver_25,_Garuda_Linux,_&_more_GNU/Linux_news⠀⇛ * § Kernel Space⠀➾ o ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Kernel_6.12.19_compiled_for_Daedalus_with_AVS enabled⠀⇛ I have previously compiled the 6.12.x kernel in Easy Daedalus, but had problems with Xe video and AVS audio drivers, so turned them off: [...] * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ New_Steam_Games_with_Native_GNU/Linux_Clients, including_Oblin_Party_-_2025-03-12_Edition⠀⇛ Between 2025-03-05 and 2025-03-12 there were 11 New Steam games released with Native GNU/Linux clients. For reference, during the same time, there were 101 games released for backdoored Windows on Steam, so the GNU/ Linux versions represent about 10.9 % of total released titles. In the lot, Oblin Party looks like a fun game where you control characters with elastic arms. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ KDE_snaps_fixed,_Thank_you_for_your_support⠀⇛ Thank you everyone for keeping the lights on for a bit longer. KDE snaps have been restored. I also released 24.12.3! In addition, I have moved “most” snaps to core24. The remaining snaps need newer qt6/kf6, which is a WIP. “The Bad luck girl” has been hit once again with another loss, so with that, I will be reducing my hours on snaps while I consider my options for my future. I am still around, just a bit less. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ Beta News ☛ This_big_Oreon_10_update_might_be_the_push_you need_to_finally_leave_Microsoft_Windows_behind⠀⇛ If you’re thinking of leaving Windows 10 or 11 but aren’t quite sure if you’re ready to jump ship permanently, the good news is you can try some excellent alternative operating systems without commitment, using tools like VMware Player. One of our top recommendations is the stunning Oreon 10. We declared it had "arrived to replace Microsoft Windows" when it launched last December, but since then the OS has received a number of improvements, and a new build has just been released that makes Oreon 10 an even more compelling alternative. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Kevin_Fenzi:_Mid_March_infra_bits_2025⠀⇛ The Hey Hi (AI) scraper (I can only assume thats what they are) scourge continued, and intensified in the last week. This time they were hitting pagure.io really quite hard. We blocked a bunch of subnets, but it's really hard to block everything without inpacting legit users, and indeed, we hit several cases where we blocked legit users. Quickly reverted, but still troublesome. On thursday and friday it got even worse. I happened to notice that most of the subnets/blocks were from .br (Brazil). So, in desperation, I blocked .br entirely and that brought things back to being more responsive. I know thats not a long term solution, so I will lift that block as soon as I see the traffic diminish (which I would think it would once they realize it's not going to work). We definitely need a better solution here. I want to find the time to look into mod_qos where we could at least make sure important networks aren't blocked and other networks get low priority. I also added a bunch more cpus to the pagure.io vm. That also seemed to help some. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Add_WebUSB_Support_To_Firefox_With_A Special_USB_Device⠀⇛ The WebUSB standard is certainly controversial. Many consider it a security risk, and, to date,  only Chromium-based browsers support it. But there is a workaround that is, ironically, supposed to increase security. The adjacent Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) standard also adds (limited) USB support to browsers. Sure, this is meant solely to support U2F USB dongles for two- factor authentication purposes, but as [ArcaneNibble] demonstrates using U2F- compatible firmware on a Raspberry Pi RP2040, by hijacking the U2F payload, this API can be used to provide WebUSB-like functionality. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2594 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/16/Valve_s_Promise_Comes_True_With_SteamOS_3_7_0_Preview_Offers_Su.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/16/Valve_s_Promise_Comes_True_With_SteamOS_3_7_0_Preview_Offers_Su.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Valve’s Promise Comes True With SteamOS 3.7.0 Preview: Offers Support To Non-Steam Deck Handhelds And Plasma 6 For Linux Desktop-Like Experience⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 16, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Steam_OS⦈_ Quoting: Valve's Promise Comes True With SteamOS 3.7.0 Preview: Offers Support To Non-Steam Deck Handhelds And Plasma 6 For Linux Desktop-Like Experience — The SteamOS 3.7.0 Preview is out and is one of the major updates by Valve for the Steam Deck.
