Although the operating system (OS) has powered much of the world's servers for decades, it remains a severely unpopular choice for desktop and laptop systems. This is largely down to game and app support on Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS, which have traditionally offered superior experiences to Linux. That's no longer the case, and many Linux distributions (distros) are more polished than commercial operating systems. If you're coming from Windows, here are a few things that will surprise you to learn about Linux.

However, there are a few unconventional Linux distributions out there that I admire, thanks to some interesting design choices. § 5 Linux From Scratch Linux From Scratch (or LFS for short) is the furthest from a traditional Linux distribution that you can imagine. Unlike other Linux distros, LFS doesn’t come with precompiled binaries or ready-made software packages. Instead, it provides step-by-step instructions to help you compile and configure all of the components of your Linux system manually, starting with the Linux kernel itself. This gives you full control over your system—it’s up to you to decide exactly which software and system configuration that you want. LFS’ goal is to provide a deep understanding of how Linux works, but be warned: it’s not for casual users. It can take days, if not longer, to get your system to a fully working order, assuming no problems pop up along the way—which is why we don't have screenshots of our own. That said, you should give Linux from Scratch a go at least once if you want to learn more about how each of your Linux system components fit together.

Are you wondering which one of these best distros is actually aligned with your needs and requirements? Well, let me spotlight five popular Linux distros and what they do, so you can finally make your choice! I firmly believe that there's no objectively best Linux distro, but there certainly is a Linux distro that's subjectively best for you! The idea behind a Linux distro is to create an optimized Operating System catering to specific use cases. So, if a distro matches your use cases, it will be the best for you. Now, to help you find your match, I've narrowed down five popular Linux distros with a quick overview of their pros and cons. This should help you understand what each of these distros has to offer so you can pick the one that's right for you!

Linux is generally lighter than Windows (sure you can slim Windows down) and its open and free nature means that there are a myriad of distros on offer. But herein lies the problem. Which distro do we try? The answer is subjective. What do you want to do? What is the spec of your machine? These questions dictate the path that you take with Linux. So with that in mind, we will take a look at six different Linux distros. Some are big names in the Linux world, and some are not-so-well known.

Additionally, a database scheme update (first such since 2012) fixes encoding and date related bugs. Please note that due to the database update, downgrading from 3.3 beta is not directly possible, and returning to pre-3.3 versions requires the database (at ~/.local/share/amarok/mysqle/) to be manually backed up beforehand. Aligning with current major KDE Frameworks version should simplify various direct and indirect software dependencies. However, phonon- vlc is the only supported backend on Qt6 Phonon, which Amarok 3.3 beta is still using for audio playback. This imposes some constraints e.g. on equalizer and analyzer functionalities. A more comprehensive overview of audio backend status is available on an invent.kde.org issue and a related work-in-progress merge request.

Sitting astride both the Aegean and Ionic seas, the country now embraces the promise of full modernity and EU membership as it strives to turn its back on the darker chapters of recent history and take its rightful place in Europe.

At the start of this month, the second preview release appeared, with a preliminary version number of 2.91. * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ Microsoft_and_Sony_Experiment_With_AI_Gaming_While_Industry Layoffs_Hit_Developers⠀⇛ The operators of two of the world’s largest game ecosystems, Microsoft and Sony, are now at the frontier of the burgeoning AI gaming movement. Yet amid ongoing experiments with language model-powered characters and automatically generated graphics, game developers are experiencing wave after wave of layoffs. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ Distribution_Release:_Pardus_23.4⠀⇛ Pardus 23.4 is a minor version release. To observe the changes made, it is sufficient to keep your Pardus 23 system up-to-date. Updates will come as notifications to your existing Pardus 23 system. You can update your system using the Pardus Update application. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Fedora Magazine ☛ 2025-04-05_[Older]_Fedora_Magazine: Contribute_at_the_Fedora_Linux_42_GNOME_48_and_IoT_Test Week⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1009 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/13/GNU_Linux_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/13/GNU_Linux_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 13, 2025 * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Unsure_How_To_Schedule_With_Cron_on_Linux?_Try One_of_These_GUIs⠀⇛ Cron is a terrific utility for scheduling reoccurring jobs on Linux, but its interface can be a bit opaque. These two utilities can make scheduling easier. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Nate Graham ☛ Interview_about_Techpaladin_and_life⠀⇛ It looks like Brodie Robertson hasn’t gotten sick of me yet, because we sat down again recently, this time on the subject of Techpaladin!

This ends up being a pretty nerdy talk as we additionally meander between finance and exchange rates, Dungeons and Dragons, Alpha Centauri, Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs, the KWin Zoom effect, and, of course, KDE World Domination. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Kevin_Fenzi:_Early_Mid_April_infra_bits_2025⠀⇛ Another week has gone by, and here's some more things I'd like to highlight from the last week. I wrote up a community blog post draft with updates for the community. Hopefully it will be up early next week and I will also send a devel-announce list post and discussion thread. We had a bit of a snafu around network cards. The new aarch64 boxes we got we missed getting 10G nics, so we are working to aquire those soon. The plan in the new datacenter is to have everything on dual 10G nics connected to different switches, so networking folks can update them without causing us any outages. Some new power10 machines have arrived. I'm hopeful we might be able to switch to them as part of the move. We will know more about them once we are able to get in and start configuring them. o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Debian ☛ Bits_from_Debian:_Bits_from_the_DPL⠀⇛ Dear Debian community, this is bits from DPL for March (sorry for the delay, I was waiting for some additional input). ✐ Conferences⠀✐ In March, I attended two conferences, each with a distinct motivation. I joined FOSSASIA to address the imbalance in geographical developer representation. Encouraging more developers from Asia to contribute to Free Software is an important goal for me, and FOSSASIA provided a valuable opportunity to work towards this. I also attended Chemnitzer Linux-Tage, a conference I have been part of for over 20 years. To me, it remains a key gathering for the German Free Software community –a place where contributors meet, collaborate, and exchange ideas. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Android Police ☛ Unpopular_opinion:_Smartphone_makers_need to_ditch_ultrawide_lenses_with_telephoto⠀⇛ With dual camera setups, brands often pair a standard lens with an ultrawide camera. It seemed like a nice proposition until I got my hands on a flagship phone with a telephoto camera. That's when I realized the advantages of a tighter focal length, and understanding compression, depth of field, and focus falloff. There was no going back after I started shooting with a telephoto lens. I use the 3.7X camera on my Vivo X200 Pro the most, more than the primary 1X shooter with a larger sensor. I love the shots, and I feel it's time for brands to do away with the ultrawide camera in favor of a telephoto lens.

I wanted to give her as much of the Linux experience as possible, so I guided her through manually partitioning the disk as part of the installation process. She’s used to unboxing a Mac, turning it on, and letting macOS handle the rest. With Linux? Not so much. Right from the start, she was dropped into the deep end. Fortunately, we installed Ubuntu, which is often considered the most accessible Linux distribution for newcomers. Now, Ubuntu’s installer is easy to use by Linux standards, but it’s still a different world. Terms like "partitioning" and "bootloader" don't show up in the macOS setup assistant. On her Mac, she'd never even thought about disk formatting. Here, she had to make real choices about how her system would function. Despite my help, her frustration was evident. "Why is this so complicated?" she asked as the installer prompted her about different things. Things macOS silently handles—like ensuring Wi-Fi and Bluetooth just work—required attention. Ubuntu succeeded in booting and getting her online, but it wasn’t the smooth introduction I’d hoped for. Yet, when it did finally load, she was intrigued. The home screen on the desktop was clean and modern. "This is Linux?" she asked. It wasn’t what she had expected—in a good way.

One of them is Kubuntu Linux, and it has some unique qualities that might lead you to make it your primary operating system. If you have trouble keeping up with the names of all the different Linux distributions out there, you're forgiven. They number in the thousands, and sometimes, their differences seem only slight. Their names can be confusing too, like Kubuntu, which is distinct from Lubuntu and Xubuntu. In my experience, these distros have a lot more than just one letter's worth of differences, though.

Do you want to test other distros but don't know where to start? Well, here are the top five Linux distros using GNOME that deserve your attention! The GNOME desktop environment has earned a reputation for its clean and polished design paired with a unique and intuitive workflow. But depending on the underlying distro, the overall user experience of GNOME can change drastically. Some distros tend to augment GNOME with a few additional tools (GNOME Extensions) to make it more user- friendly, while others opt for heavier customization to create a completely new user experience. The distro also controls software availability, hardware compatibility, and update frequency. This means learning about the various GNOME-based distros puts you one step closer to finding your forever distro that not only meets your aesthetic desires but also aligns with your overall system philosophy.

It’s been on my shelf for years now, showing the time, weather, warning me when the UV is going to be high. In 2023 I used_it_as_an_excuse_to_learn_some_Rust,_to_render custom_graphics. It’s a toy, a distraction, a_worry_stone for me to work on when I need something open-ended and low-stakes. [...] One of the biggest critiques of the Tidbyt was that it was just an LED matrix and an ESP chip. You could buy an LED matrix on Sparkfun, the ESP, a power supply, some wood for the enclosure, and you’d have your own DIY Tidbyt. Maybe you could do it for half the price! But that’s also a strength. The Tidbyt is not some custom SoC with an exotic custom software stack and boutique hardware. It is what it looks like: a neat combination of commonplace parts. That makes it kind of future-proof and flexible. The first step is to replace the firmware. Tidbyt’s stock firmware routes all of its requests through the Tidbyt company’s servers. I want to eliminate that hop. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Renesas_RZ/V2N_Evaluation_Kit_for_Real-Time_Embedded Vision_Applications⠀⇛ Renesas Electronics has introduced the RZ/V2N Evaluation Kit, a platform for developing embedded systems with on-device AI. Built around the RZ/V2N microprocessor, it combines an Hey Hi (AI) accelerator, image signal processor, and security features for vision-based edge applications. The evaluation platform includes two boards: the RTK0EF0186C02000BJ main board and the RTK0EF0168B00000BJ expansion board. * ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Some_of_my_post-smartphone_devices⠀⇛ Last weekend I wrote a lengthy post describing how much I’d come to hate modern smartphones, and how I wanted to start avoiding_using_them where I could. I resented the time I wasted mindlessly scrolling on them, and wanted more control over what I let into my life. It’s been a week, so how am I faring? Contrasted with my last attempts at kicking my smartphone addiction, the difference this time has been shocking. Much as Eddy_Burback_realised in his widely-publicised video about getting rid of his phone, I didn’t realise just how ingrained use of this device was. I didn’t realise how bored I got, and how habitual it had become to fill spare time with looking at it. I knew it was bad, but not that bad. The big shift happened for me a few days into the experiment. In a shorter time than perhaps I was expecting, I realised I wasn’t instinctively reaching for the phone anymore. I was looking out the window of the train more at the beautiful Sydney trees. When waiting for Clara at the station, I was happy to just watch the world go by. The phone isn’t charged in the bedroom anymore, so I get out of bed more easily, and fall asleep reading books instead. For someone prone to anxiety, this has done wonders for my mental state, especially first thing in the morning. No, really, get an alarm clock! ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1678 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/13/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/13/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 13, 2025 * ⚓ Jason Becker ☛ The_trouble_when_a_PM_writes_code⠀⇛ It’s not an issue of understanding the data or what needs to be done.

Initially, the new version of the operating system was released gradually via system updates for existing users. However, an updated ISO file is now available for those who wish to make new installations. Among the highlights is KDE Plasma 6.3, which arrives with new fixes and improvements, such as the fractional scaling feature that has been reworked to better adjust the image to the screen's pixel grid, reducing blur and producing sharper, more defined images. In addition, for those who love to customize the desktop, leaving everything their way, the new Plasma 6.3 makes it easier to clone panels when the user is in edit mode.
