DVB-T dongles based on the Realtek RTL2832U can be used as a cheap SDR, since the chip allows transferring the raw I/ Q samples to the host, which is officially used for DAB/DAB+/FM demodulation. RTL-SDR is a very inexpensive USB dongle that can be used as a computer based radio scanner for receiving live radio signals in your area (no internet required). Depending on the particular model it can receive frequencies from 500 kHz up to 1.75 GHz. There’s a good range of software for the RTL2832U. This roundup looks at the finest software-defined radio tools for Linux including apps that let you listen to DAB and DAB+ broadcasts. Many of the tools are perfect for low power devices such as the the Raspberry Pi range of single-board computers. Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion here. * ⚓ Pixelpusher_is_a_drone-based_team_combat_game_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Pixelpusher is a drone-based team combat game that emphasizes positioning and momentum above all else. Control space and manage risk with every move of your drones. Play capture the flag with up to 32 players. It’s best played with a two-button mouse. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ memethesis-cli_creates_memes_from_the_terminal_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ memethesis-cli creates memes from the terminal. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ resticprofile_is_a_configuration_profiles_manager_and_scheduler_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ resticprofile is a configuration profiles manager and scheduler for restic. resticprofile is the missing link between a configuration file and restic backup. Creating a configuration file for restic has been discussed before, but seems to be a very low priority right now. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Kudu_is_a_distributed_data_storage_engine_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Apache Kudu is a distributed data storage engine that makes fast analytics on fast and changing data easy. Kudu runs on commodity hardware, is horizontally scalable, and supports highly available operation. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Duplicati_-_store_encrypted_backups_online_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Having a solid data backup strategy is imperative in keeping your data safe. Your storage drives won’t last forever. Also, hardware failure is just one way you can lose data. Even though Linux is less at risk of nasties like ransomware attacks than other operating systems, it offers no protection from things like natural disasters. * ⚓ Words_is_a_multilingual_offline_dictionary_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Words is a multilingual dictionary activity for the Sugar environment. Words activity is relatively easy to use. There are four text boxes; one for typing text, one gives synonyms, one gives you the translated text, and the last gives you the meaning of the translated text. This is free and open source software. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠉⠙⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣀⡀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣄⡀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣄⣀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣄⣀⠀⠀⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 341 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/16/Fedora_Magazine.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/16/Fedora_Magazine.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Fedora Magazine Reports⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 16, 2025, updated Apr 16, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇New_in_Fedora_Linux:_Running_x86_programs_on_ARM_systems⦈_ * ⚓ New_in_Fedora:_Running_x86_programs_on_ARM_systems_-_Fedora_Magazine⠀⇛ The newly released Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop 42 introduces out- of-box support for running x86 and x86-64 programs on ARM systems. This is accomplished by leveraging the emulation stack originally developed for Fedora Asahi Remix. This work is now integrated into Fedora Linux proper. This makes it available for all ARM systems running Fedora Linux, not just Apple Silicon Macs. * ⚓ What’s_new_for_Fedora_Atomic_Desktops_in_Fedora_42_-_Fedora_Magazine⠀⇛ Fedora 42 has been released! 🎉 So let’s see what arrives with the new releases for the Fedora Atomic Desktops variants (Silverblue, Kinoite, Sway Atomic and Budgie Atomic). The new COSMIC desktop has been packaged for Fedora and a new Atomic variant created for it thanks to Ryan Brue. It is not yet available on the website but should be soon. See fedora- websites#351. See the Fedora change request. * ⚓ Fedora_Asahi_Remix_42_is_now_available_-_Fedora_Magazine⠀⇛ We are happy to announce the general availability of Fedora Asahi Remix 42. This release brings the newly released Fedora Linux 42 to Apple Silicon Macs, following our Beta release last month. Fedora Asahi Remix is developed in close collaboration with the Fedora Asahi SIG and the Asahi Linux project. This release incorporates all the exciting improvements brought by Fedora Linux 42. Notably, the new FEX integration provides an easier way to run x86 and x86-64 binaries out of the box via emulation. It also continues to provide extensive device support, including the recently added microphone support for MacBook laptops. * ⚓ What’s_new_in_Fedora_KDE_Plasma_Desktop_42_-_Fedora_Magazine⠀⇛ Fedora Linux provides a wide variety of users with leading edge open source technology in a community developed and maintained operating system. Fedora KDE releases combine the reliable and trusted Fedora Linux base with the KDE Plasma desktop environment. It provides a selection of KDE applications – simple by default, yet powerful when needed. New with this release cycle, the KDE Plasma Desktop is now a full-fledged Edition. It is maintained by the KDE Special Interest Group through the Personal Systems Working Group. As an Edition, it is now one of the flagship experiences for Fedora Linux. This recognizes the mutual successes and commitments of the Fedora and KDE communities. * ⚓ What's_New_in_Fedora_Workstation_42_-_Fedora_Magazine⠀⇛ Fedora Linux 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything! It’s also the latest release of one of the leading providers of free, open source software, The Fedora Project. We’ve selected a few notable changes in the newest version of Fedora Workstation 42 that we think you will love. Upgrade today from the official website, or upgrade your existing install using GNOME Software or through the terminal with dnf system-upgrade. * ⚓ The_answer_is_42!_Fedora_Linux_42,_that_is._-_Fedora_Magazine⠀⇛ Seventy-five thousand generations ago, our ancestors set a vast computer in motion, asking it to produce the ultimate Linux distribution… No, wait. It wasn’t quite that long ago. That was a different thing. But in both, the answer to life, the universe, and everything turns out to be: forty-two. In our case, Fedora Linux 42, which is now officially released. Every Fedora Linux release is a gigantic community effort — it does almost seem infinitely improbable that all of this software made by a whole planet of open source developers could come together so nicely. Yet, here we are again! Thank you so much to everyone who works so hard on Fedora and in all of our upstream projects. How-To Geek: * ⚓ Fedora_Linux_Now_Runs_Windows_Games_(and_Other_x86_Apps)_on_ARM_PCs⠀⇛ Fedora Linux 42 includes an x86 emulation layer for ARM PCs, much like Apple’s Rosetta 2 compatibility layer for Apple Silicon Mac computers. It allows ARM Linux PCs to run many applications and games that haven’t been ported to ARM yet, including Windows software through the Wine compatibility layer. Fedora’s x86 emulation was originally built for Fedora Asahi Remix, the Linux distribution for Apple Silicon Mac computers. It could already run Windows games like Control, Hollow Knight, Fallout 4, The Witcher 3, and Portal 2 with decent performance on an M1 Mac. Fedora has now ported that work to regular the other ARM editions of Fedora Linux as an installable package, and it’s installed by default in Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop 42. In LWN: * ⚓ Fedora_GNU/Linux_42_released_(Fedora_Magazine)⠀⇛ The Fedora Project has announced the release of Fedora Linux 42, with "what's new" articles for Fedora Workstation and Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop. There is also a last-minute warning about the live media for the release: We discovered a problem with the Live boot media at the last minute, and since the release was already out of the airlock, we can't do much about it. It doesn't damage anything, but is annoying: just booting the Live media adds an unexpected entry to the UEFI boot loader even when Fedora GNU/Linux 42 is not installed to the local system. This is primarily a concern when you are dual-booting with a different operating system, or if you're just running the Live image and not intending to actually install. See the release_notes for more information, and LWN's coverage of Fedora 42. More that's indirectly related: * ⚓ What’s_new_for_Fedora_Atomic_Desktops_in_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Fedora_42_has_been_released! 🎉 So let’s see what is included in this new release for the Fedora Atomic Desktops variants (Silverblue, Kinoite, Sway Atomic, Budgie Atomic and COSMIC Atomic).

As headlines highlight Windows missteps and questionable design decisions, now is the perfect time to explore what Linux distributions like openSUSE’s have to offer. Users on most Linux distributions won’t wake up one day to find an unexplained system folder quietly added to their hard drive. People won’t be told after the fact that deleting an empty folder called inetpub somehow exposed their system to attackers. And they won’t be left scrambling through news articles, forum threads, and vague documentation just to understand how a simple action led to a security risk and is now their problem to solve.

Manjaro Immutable is now called Manjaro Summit, and we are excited to release it in public Alpha! What is Manjaro Summit? Manjaro Summit is a semi-immutable (We’re calling it that for now because the term immutable is technically incorrect and controversial) distro with an atomic update system. Updates are done by downloading pre-made disk images, the root partition is read-only and only parts of the filesystem are migrated upon update. The benefit of such a system is that everyone is running a near identical system configuration, this makes it easier to reproduce bugs and issues. Images can also be tested before being published. And should an update prove to be bad, you can simply roll back to an older unaffected version. The immutability makes the system more resistant to user and software error, it also provides some limited protection against malware. We are still unsure what Summit will eventually become, a stable rolling workstation distro, or an always moving distro chasing the latest and greatest in software. The technology powering summit is purpose build to be as simple as possible, it is encouraged for people to start building and sharing images and configurations which fit their usecase or that of a wider community. Read_on More in_GOL: "There's still quite a lot missing and to be done on it, since it's a public Alpha testing release." How-To Geek: * ⚓ Manjaro_Has_a_New_'Semi-Immutable'_Edition_You_Can_Test_Right_Now⠀⇛ If you like trying new and experimental Linux distributions, you should be happy to know Manjaro Linux is officially jumping on the immutable Linux distribution bandwagon with the announcement of Manjaro Summit, in an alpha phase. Having been in development earlier as "Manjaro Immutable," first announced in August 2024, Summit appears to be sort of an experiment for the Manjaro development team. They're now calling it a "semi-immutable" distribution, though, and did not share details on exactly what that means. Summit differs from traditional Manjaro Linux builds in that its updates are "atomic" instead of being based on the package update system you find your typical Arch-based Linux distribution like Manjaro. Summit's announcement includes a publicly available ISO you can download and test yourself like I did. Since it's in alpha, you can expect a buggy and limited experience not suitable for daily driving. Only GNOME is tested to work on Summit, which annoyed me a little, having been a fan of GNOME. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠠⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠄⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣤⣄⠀⢹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣶⣶⣶⣄⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠶ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⠀⢻⣿⣷⣿⡟⠃⢸⠁⠠⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣿⣶ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢻⡿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠻⠄⠛⢿⡿⠀⢰⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠸⠀⠀⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣧⡀⢀⡀⠀⣠⣤⡀⠀⣴⣄⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣼⣿⣿⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣶⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⡏⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠏⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠏⠁⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠿⠿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣅⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠰⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 924 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/16/More_than_fifteen_free_software_socials_to_be_held_globally.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/16/More_than_fifteen_free_software_socials_to_be_held_globally.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ More than fifteen free software socials to be held globally⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 16, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Attendees_at_the_LibreLocal_meetup_in_Kinshasa_in_February 2025⦈_ Quoting: More than fifteen free software socials to be held globally — In January, the FSF launched a call to organize local community meetups and claimed the month of May as LibreLocal Month.

As you probably know, Nitrux primarily relies on AppImages for installing software—it’s the main method the distro sticks to and relies on. According to devs, the idea behind NX AppHub has been evolving over the last year since they first unveiled the NX AppImage Build Hub project, inspired by AppRepo.de, a defunct website that formerly hosted numerous build scripts and AppImages. They attempted to build on this idea by forking those repositories and automatically building applications via GitHub Actions. Read_on Update Also in BetaNews: * ⚓ Stylish_backdoored_Windows_11_replacement_Nitrux_is_about_to_solve_a big_app_headache_for_users⠀⇛ One of our favorite Linux-based backdoored Windows 11 alternatives, is rolling out a major upgrade to how users manage software on the system. [...] NX AppHub is a new system that simplifies how applications are built, installed, updated, and managed in Nitrux. It’s made up of several components, including a command-line tool (NX AppHub CLI), a central repository of app recipes (NX AppHub Apps), and a desktop integration service (NX AppHub Daemon). Together, these tools let users install or update applications with a single command -- no root access required -- while ensuring that every app is built from a curated, reproducible source. This new approach is a big improvement over the old system. Previously, apps were pulled from external sites like AppImageHub, which could go offline or stop working at any time. Now, Nitrux maintains its own Git-based repository of app definitions, so users can trust that the software comes from a reliable and maintained source. ⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣬⡄⠀⣠⣀⡁⠀ ⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣃⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣉⣃⣀⣈⣈⣁⣀ ⢿⢿⠷⡿⢿⡿⢿⢿⢿⢿⣿⡿⣿⣻⣿⣿⢟⢿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣟⢿⣟⣗⣿⢿⢛⡿⡾⣿⣿⣷⣿⣇⣷⣻⣟⣷⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⢿⢿⣿⡿⡿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣚⣱⡫⢧⡿⡜⣿⣯⠯⢷⣿⣟⢿⠞⣽⣏⡿⡳⠪⠵⠿⣾⣿⡿⠿⣿⠿⣾⣺⠽⠟⢜⢾⡿⡿⠟⠾⠿⣻⡪⣮⣷⣽⢞⠿⠯⣅⣼⢾⣟⡭⢿⣯⠯⣻⣟⣝⠯⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡟⣿⢿⣿⢿⣋⢿⣿⣎⣿⣛⣻⣿⣻⢟⣟⣻⢿⢻⣿⣻⡻⡿⡻⣛⣿⡛⣿⡿⣛⣿⢻⣿⢿⢿⣿⣚⣻⢻⡻⡿⣿⢿⣿⠞⣿⢻⣻⡻⣟⣟⣟⣞⣿⢿⣟⡟⢿⣻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣺⣝⣯⣳⣝⣿⣷⢷⣿⣯⣾⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⢹⣯⣶⣾⣷⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣵⣿⣷⣯⣾⣿⣷⣿⣿⣽⣿⣾⣿⣷⣿⣶⣿⣿⣽⣾⣷⣿⣯⣿⣿⣽⣿⣮⣽⣷⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⢿⣯⣯⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣯⣿⣵⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣟⣿⣿⡽⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣯⣿⣫⣿⣍⣿⢯⣽⣵⣯⡿⣟⢿⣟⣝⡿⡻⣭⣯⡻⣯⣯⡿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣯⣥⣭⣭⣯⣝⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣶⣶⡦⠳⣶⣾⣯⢽⡽⣭⣿⣟⢝⣿⣿⣽⣿⣽⣏⡿⣻⢭⣿⣻⣽⠟⢟⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣷⣯⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣷⣿⣾⢿⢶⣷⣾⣶⡻⣶⣿⣿⣷⣶⣷⣿⣟⣟⢿⣻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣷⢷⢶⣷⡿⣿⣃⡿⣶⡶⢶⣱⢶⢏⣶⣾⢶⣶⣾⢷⣶⢷⠿⣷⣿⢷⣶⢷⣷⣶⡾⢶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡷⣷⣿⣿⢿⢽⣅⠿⣾⣿⣷⣵⣷⣧⣶⣿⣶⣷⣮⣷⣿⡷⡿⣷⠿⣶⢷⣿⣿⢾⣿⣶⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⢿⣿⢿⢶⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣟⣿⣿⢿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣟⣻⣿⢷⣟⣛⣛⣿⣺⣿⣳⣻⣻⢛⣻⣟⣟⣿⣟⣿⣿⣻⣿⣻⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣽⣟⣿⣿⣯⡟⠯⣲⣿⣿⣻⡟⣟⣿⣿⣿⣟⣺⣛⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣺⣾⣙⣿⣟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣭⣟⣋⣻⣬⣻⣧⣯⣛⣟⣝⣿⣽⣿⣯⣯⣟⣛⣿⣻⣝⣬⣏⣋⢏⣟⣿⣭⣛⢟⣿⣿⣿⣷⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣞⣿⣻⣏⡿⡭⣭⣱⢷⡭⣭⣭⢍⣯⡿⡝⣽⡻⡭⣝⣟⡭⣽⡺⣭⣍⣝⢭⢭⣽⢟⣯⣭⢭⣽⢯⣵⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡟⡳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣟⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣷⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣟⣻⣿⣿⣛⣻⣿⣟⣿⣟⣟⣻⣟⣿⣿⣿⣛⣿⣿⣛⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡛⣛⠋⣩⣭⣭⣫⣭⣭⣭⣭⣽⣻⣭⣭⣩⣭⣭⢭⣭⣭⣩⣭⣯⣭⣽⣭⣩⣭⣭⡏⣭⣭⣭⣩⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⡍⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⡉⠉⠉⣉⠉ ⠁⠿⠃⢿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⠇⢿⣿⡿⠻⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠓⠝⠃ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1244 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/16/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/16/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 16, 2025 * ⚓ Michał Sapka ☛ Commodore_64_Assembler,_Day_1:_Hello_World_and_basic Emacs_setup⠀⇛ This is a famous CPU, powering the Apple II series of computer. But I'm European, I have never seen Apple II in my life. Commodore on the hand, I have seen. Never owned, as my household jumped into DOS from the get go (it was 1993 after all), but C64 was always there. * ⚓ Fernando Borretti ☛ Two_Years_of_Rust⠀⇛ I recently wrapped up a job where I spent the last two years writing the backend of a B2B SaaS product in Rust, so now is the ideal time to reflect on the experience and write about it. * ⚓ Sean Goedecke ☛ Wicked_features_|_sean_goedecke⠀⇛ Wicked features are requirements that must be considered every time you build anything else They massively increase implementation complexity and coordination cost * ⚓ Sean Goedecke ☛ Software_engineering_under_the_spotlight_|_sean goedecke⠀⇛ Think of a tech company as a giant, dimly-lit factory. Work goes on throughout the factory as components shuffle back and forth, and finished products get steadily carted away, but the coordination and efficiency of each section is fairly low. Some parts of the factory get jammed up and don’t do anything for days. Other parts are manically producing broken components which are thrown away unused. However, the factory manager - i.e. the tech company CEO - has one tool to combat this problem. That tool is the spotlight. * ⚓ Andreas Zwinkau ☛ The_5_Levels_of_Configuration_Languages⠀⇛ Code is data and data is code. Years ago, I had a brief affair with Lisp and there I picked up this meme. Today, I believe there are also benefits in separating code and data. Glimpses of this debate come up whenever people discuss the syntax for yet another configuration schema. There are 5 levels of power for configuration languages. If you design a new schema, be aware of all of them. * ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ AsioHeaders_1.30.2-1_on_CRAN:_New_Upstream⠀⇛ Another new (stable) release of the AsioHeaders package arrived at CRAN just now. Asio provides a cross-platform C++ library for network and low-level I/O programming. It is also included in Boost – but requires linking when used as part of Boost. This standalone version of Asio is a header-only C++ library which can be used without linking (just like our BH package with parts of Boost). The update last week, kindly prepared by Charlie Gao, had overlooked / not covered one other nag discovered by CRAN. This new release, based on the current stable upstream release, does that. * § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ o ⚓ XDA ☛ 4_ways_Apostrophe_is_my_new_go-to_editor_for_markdown_over Obsidian⠀⇛ I've used GNOME for years, but I've never tried out Apostrophe, an app created and maintained by Manuel Genovés on GNOME Circle. Available to everyone running Linux, this handy, lightweight markdown text editor is superb at creating a distraction-free interface for typing thousands of words. It has integrated robust spell-checking, document statistics, live preview support, and supports a variety of file formats.

In that post, Dubois stated, "This decision wasn’t made lightly. But as I approach 60, I’ve found myself with less energy, less focus, and making small mistakes that remind me I’m no longer at my peak. I want to leave ArcoLinux while it’s still strong and while I can look back with pride at everything we’ve accomplished together." Over those eight years, ArcoLinux accomplished several important milestones, such as creating over 5,000 educational videos; the creation of ArcoInstall; the Carli education project; the Arch Linux Calamares Installer (ALCI); the ArcoPlasma, ArcoNet, ArcroPro, and Ariser variants; and much more.

T2 is not a traditional Linux distribution; it’s a source-based meta- distribution. It provides the tools and scripts to build your own custom distro tailored to specific use cases, hardware, or performance goals. The T2 project traces its roots back to the pioneering ROCK Linux distribution, originally developed in the late 1990s by Claire Wolf.

post will explain the HTTP 307 Temporary Redirect Status Code and when to use it. The HTTP 307 Temporary Redirect Status Code belongs to the 3xx status codes family. This means that the client must take additional action to complete the request. * ⚓ Rafael Sadowski ☛ fio_benchmarking_on_OpenBSD:_How_Many_Jobs_Are_Worth It?⠀⇛ This post explores these questions through detailed fio(1) benchmarking, looking at random reads, random writes, and latency — all running on a recent build of OpenBSD 7.7-current. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ How_I_install_personal_versions_of_programs_(on Unix)⠀⇛ These days, Unixes are quite generous in what they make available through their packaging systems, so you can often get everything you want through packages that someone else worries about building, updating, managing, and so on. However, not everything is available that way; sometimes I want something that isn't packaged, and sometimes (especially on 'long term support' distributions) I want something that's more recent that the system provides (for example, Ubuntu 22.04 only has Emacs 27.1). Over time, I've evolved my own approach for managing my personal versions of such things, which is somewhat derived from the traditional approach for multi-architecture Unixes here. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Flatpak_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Flatpak has become an integral part of the modern GNU/ Linux ecosystem, offering a revolutionary approach to application management and deployment.

Creating bootable USB drives is a common task for system administrators, developers, and GNU/Linux enthusiasts. BalenaEtcher stands out as one of the most reliable and user-friendly tools for this purpose. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ Fedora_GNU/Linux_42_Released⠀⇛ Fedora GNU/Linux 42 has officially launched, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of this cutting- edge distribution. Released on April 15, 2025, this version introduces groundbreaking changes that redefine the GNU/Linux user experience through enhanced desktop environments, a revamped installer, and numerous system- level improvements. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OpenRGB_on_GNU/Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ Customizing your computer with RGB lighting can add a personal touch to your setup, but managing these lights on GNU/Linux systems has often been a frustrating experience. Many manufacturers provide proprietary software that only works on Windows, leaving GNU/Linux users with limited options. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Blender_on_openSUSE⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Blender on openSUSE. Blender stands as one of the most powerful open-source 3D creation suites available today, offering a comprehensive set of tools for modeling, animation, rendering, and much more. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2255 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/16/Ubuntu_20_04_LTS_End_Of_Life_activate_ESM_to_keep_your_fleet_of.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/16/Ubuntu_20_04_LTS_End_Of_Life_activate_ESM_to_keep_your_fleet_of.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu 20.04 LTS End Of Life – activate ESM to keep your fleet of devices secure and operational⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 16, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Ubuntu_20.04_end_of_standard_support⦈_ Quoting: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS End Of Life – activate ESM to keep your fleet of devices secure and operational — Focal Fossa will reach the End of Standard Support in May 2025, also known as End Of Life (EOL).
