The problematic connection originated from the GNU/Linux kernel itself, causing the /proc based version in Debian 12 to fail to properly attribute the connection and cause the OpenSnitch daemon to block while waiting for the Python GUI, which was unable to continue because the home directory was blocked waiting for the OpenSnitch daemon.

This week we get to share a range of fun, exciting, and interesting developments from across the wider open source community. Our news section this week reports on CachyOS shipping with the OCCT stress testing software while the Debian project enters soft freeze, an early step on the road to Debian 13 being released. Debian held its Project Leader election this week and we share the details. We also share a tutorial on getting NetBSD to run on a Nintendo Wii and even run a web server on the gaming hardware. When we cover this week's new releases, later in the newsletter, we share one of the largest distributions to ship - with a 36GB download. We share details on this and other releases below and list the torrents we are seeding. First though we talk about Ubuntu MATE. Jeff Siegel takes Ubuntu MATE 25.04 for a spin and reports on his experiences with this community edition in our Feature Story. Plus we talk about what is missing from the Linux ecosystem. Sometimes it is harder to notice what is not there rather than what is and we explore this in our Questions and Answers column. What missing feature do you think would benefit the Linux community? Let us know in this week's Opinion Poll or share your thoughts in the comments. Finally, we say a fond thank you to the kind readers who sent us donations. We wish you all a terrific week and happy reading! * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ ReactOS_now_supports_3dfx's_Voodoo5_GPUs_—_open-source backdoored_Windows_alternative_offers_near-native_performance_for_retro gamers⠀⇛ The open-source backdoored Windows alternative ReactOS now has support for 3dfx's Voodoo5 GPU family, with Unreal (1998) successfully tested. * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Zarfy_updated_in_Scarthgap_and_Daedalus⠀⇛ Zarfy multiple monitor manager is somewhat broken in Easy, and Norman (NNI in the forum) sent me some workarounds.

From generating creative content to answering complex questions, LLMs have demonstrated remarkable capabilities. However, training LLMs requires vast computational resources and massive datasets, posing significant financial and logistical challenges. Furthermore, aligning these models with ethical values and confirming that their outputs are safe and unbiased remains a complex and ongoing problem. o ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Accelerate_model_training_on_OpenShift_Hey_Hi_(AI)_with NVIDIA_GPUDirect_RDMA⠀⇛ “Attention is all you need.” But you also need efficient GPU peer-to-peer communication!  Since that seminal_paper was published in 2017, scaling the size of large language models (LLMs) has been a key driver to sustain the pace of innovation and push the frontier of LLM performance while informing the so- called scaling_laws_of_AI. While techniques like quantization or compression can be used to lower the amount of memory required to load those large models into a single GPU, it comes with some tradeoffs, and only shifts the threshold beyond which scaling out becomes the only viable option. In the case of model training, scaling-out can also be used to leverage more compute resources and achieve better latency. * § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ o ⚓ Kev Quirk ☛ 📝_29_April_2025_at_16:07_-_So_I've_been_running #Ubuntu_for_the_last_couple_days_and_I_have_to_say,_it's_been great.⠀⇛ So I've been running #Ubuntu for the last couple days and I have to say, it's been great.

What this means is that it’s survey time at FreeBSD… again. In other words, 2024’s user survey turns out not to have been the one-off we thought it was, and the FreeBSD Community Survey is looking like it’s going to become an annual event. This year’s survey was announced on Friday will run through May 7. Taking it won’t take much time — 15 minutes the organization says on its website — and the information gleaned from the results will be key for keeping the project on track. The foundation says that last year’s survey was used to help it determine the project’s priorities — which can change from year to year — as well as a guide for its development efforts and community engagement strategies for the upcoming year and beyond. The surveys are helpful for identifying user needs, assessing satisfaction levels, and highlighting areas requiring improvement, such as hardware support, documentation, and contribution processes.

With surveydown, researchers can create reproducible, interactive surveys using markdown and R code chunks, leveraging the Quarto publication system and R shiny web application framework. While most survey platforms rely on graphical interfaces or spreadsheets to define survey content, surveydown uses plain text, enabling version control and collaboration via tools like GitHub. The package renders surveys as interactive shiny web applications, allowing for complex features like conditional skip logic, dynamic question display, and complex randomization. The package supports a diverse set of question types and formatting options and users can leverage shiny’s powerful reactive programming model to create a wide variety of customized interactive features. As an open-source tool, surveydown provides researchers full control over their survey implementation, including the survey application as well as where and how the resulting response data are stored. Workflows are entirely reproducible and integrate seamlessly with existing workflows for data collection and analysis in R.

The process generated detailed philosophical and policy discussions between board members and the FSF's global associate members on topics ranging from the firmness of the Free Software Definition, developments in machine learning, to the board's president position. "The values of our movement were on proud display in the FSF's board discussion forum, which highlighted passion and vision within our community by placing the diverse perspectives of the Foundation's members - our concerns and fears, as well as our hopes and aspirations - directly in the foreground during this key and timely moment of introspection," said Corwin Brust, an associate member of the FSF. After the forum discussions with eligible associate members and contributors, the voting members held internal discussions for several weeks on the review itself, the lessons learned from its period of introspection, and the discussion process generally. Then the voting members voted on April 26, 2025 to re-confirm the five board members who had been reviewed. "The community made itself heard. This kind of open, direct engagement among our directors and our associate members is exactly what we wanted to see from the new governance process," said FSF president Geoff Knauth.

As part of its celebrations, the organization is inviting the wider free software community (both projects and individual contributors) to participate in a global, online hackathon to help improve important libre software projects. All free software projects, regardless of affiliation or (free) license, are invited to participate. As of now, the advanced GNU/ Linux distribution and package manager GNU Guix, the boot software distribution GNU Boot, the media publishing system MediaGoblin, and the Free Software Directory, the FSF's catalog of useful free software, have announced that they will submit a project. Interested contributors are encouraged to review the hackathon guidelines, which the FSF has made available online.

The signals passed through these cables are analog, each generated by a dedicated chip on the computer. Many C64 users may have accidentally swapped these cables when first setting up their machines, but [Matthias] wondered if this could be done purposefully — generating video with the audio hardware and vice versa. * ⚓ Clockwork Labs Inc ☛ We're_Open_Sourcing_BitCraft_Online⠀⇛ Despite the benefits mentioned above, to our knowledge BitCraft will be the first venture backed/commercially developed MMORPG open sourced under an open source license.

Note: key provided by the developer. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ PASS_Fortress_turns_TF2_into_a_competitive_basketball- like_and_it's_coming_to_Steam⠀⇛ Oh hey, a new Team Fortress 2 (TF2) mod that's coming to Steam and it sounds like a lot of fun. PASS Fortress is one to watch. Technically, not a new mod actually. As the Steam page notes it was " Originally conceived by the 4v4 PASS Time community in 2018" but it's now coming as a "fully fledged and realized in a standalone mod". * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Wuthering_Waves_arrives_on_Steam,_another_with_anti- cheat_problems_on_Steam_Deck_and_Desktop_Linux⠀⇛ Update 12:00 BST: the developer recently edited the Steam page description to note: [...] * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Steam_update_for_Desktop_brings_DLC_fixes_while_Steam Deck_gets_startup_and_BIOS_update_fixes⠀⇛ Valve released another small stable Steam Client update for Desktop and Steam Deck, bringing in some pretty essential fixes for both platforms. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Starfox-esque_3D_Shooter_Ex-Zodiac_gets_a_major_update with_a_new_level⠀⇛ Ex-Zodiac is a 3D on-rails shooter made in the spirit of the classic Starfox, it's currently in Early Access with Linux support and a major update just released. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Retro_Disney_themed_shooter_MOUSE:_P.I._For_Hire_looks awesome_in_the_latest_trailer⠀⇛ The inspiration is obvious to anyone who has seen classic Disney cartoons on this one and I'm all for it.

It works on Steam Deck with Proton but the anti- cheat is blocking it working on Desktop Linux. The developers previously confirmed to GamingOnLinux that it would work on Steam Deck. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ The_XCOM_Complete_Humble_Bundle_is_an_awesome_deal⠀⇛ One of my all-time favourite game series!

The median open source project has one maintainer! So why did this happen? I argue there’s been a cultural shift. Most of the “old guard” in open source, and I’m certainly one of them, come from a free software background, where there’s a big dose of idealism. But to gain acceptance, we’ve hidden that idealism: a company wouldn’t want to build its enterprise on the work of a bunch of hippies, now would it? Working for free isn’t sustainable either, so open source had to mean business. We worked hard on that, by donning suits to argue with politicians and business folks that open source would be good for business and the economy. We were successful. Perhaps too successful, because unfortunately this has resulted in open source being equated with free… as in beer. You know, that kind of freedom with a lower case “f.” For the current generation of engineers, open source means you can import a library from GitHub into a project and it won’t cost a dime. If there’s something wrong with it, just fix it in the local copy. That’s it.

As we navigate the currents of data protection, it’s imperative to understand the gravity of our situation. Meta, a behemoth in the social media realm, has long been under scrutiny for its data practices. This lawsuit amplifies the conversation about how far- reaching these practices can be and their implications for user privacy. At Purism, we’ve always championed the concept that privacy is not merely a feature but a fundamental right. The DOJ’s actions serve as a reminder that large-scale tech companies should be held accountable for the way they treat user data. Transparency and consent are non- negotiable in a world where personal information is the new currency. Meta’s business model, like many others, hinges on data collection and targeted advertising. However, when the pursuit of profit compromises the sanctity of user privacy, we must question the ethics and legality of these approaches. The lawsuit is not just a legal battle; it’s a stand for digital rights and user autonomy.

If what you’re working on involves a change the schema along with a change the implementation, then when it comes time to merging your changes to main, merge them at the same time. You can raise the merge request for the schema changes when they’re ready, and have others look at it while you work on the implementation, but hold off from pushing that “Merge” button until the implementation is also ready to merge. * ⚓ Alisa Sireneva ☛ Why_performance_optimization_is_hard_work⠀⇛ I’m not talking about skill, knowledge, or convincing a world focused on radical acceleration that optimization is necessary.

However, it does show some worrying trends – if not surprising ones, at least to this jaded industry veteran. Lots of companies are using open source software, more of them all the time. Most are hoping to save money.

The new approach includes a two-year rehire ban for underperforming employees and prevents low performers from transferring within the company. * § Programming/Development⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Barnes:_Parallel_./configure⠀⇛ Tavian Barnes takes on the tedious process of waiting for configure scripts to run.

The headline fix ensures that installed DLC (Downloadable Content) is correctly recognized by the games that rely on it. Previously, some titles failed to find paid add-ons—even when those files were sitting on the drive—forcing gamers to jump through re-install hoops or verify files more than once. Plus, the update removes a common stumbling block that could pull players out of the moment by tidying up that backend handshake.
