So here's what you've all been playing the most over the last month. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ You_can_get_Frostpunk,_PlateUp!_and_more_fun_games_in the_Tycoon_Titans_Bundle⠀⇛ I wouldn't call Frostpunk a tycoon game but I'm not going to turn my nose up at a good deal. The Tycoon Titans Humble Bundle has some fun hits in it to grab. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Wild_West_cosy_life_sim_Cattle_Country_releases_May 27⠀⇛ Inspired by classic Western adventures and blended with wholesome farming charm, Cattle Country is definitely one you should be keeping an eye on. The developers have announced it's set for launch on May 27th. Appears it will have a Native Linux version, which is being helped by well-known porter and FNA developer, Ethan Lee. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Cozy_mystery_game_Duck_Detective:_The_Ghost_of_Glamping arrives_in_May⠀⇛ Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping from Happy Broccoli Games is now set for release on May 22nd, and it will come with Native Linux support. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Borderlands_4_release_date_now_set_for_September_12, plus_a_new_trailer_and_deep_dive_are_out⠀⇛ Gearbox and 2K have announced that the release date for Borderlands 4 has moved up to September 12th and there's a new gameplay trailer to go along with it. Unless they stick in some kernel-level anti-cheat, I would expect this one to work just fine with Valve's Proton on Desktop Linux at least. Remains to be seen if the Steam Deck will be able to handle it. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Cute_craft-and-thrive_adventure_Squirreled_Away_working towards_being_Steam_Deck_Verified⠀⇛ Squirreled Away released back in March and looks absolutely adorable, and soon it will work better on Steam Deck with the developer working towards getting it fully Steam Deck Verified. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Cyber_Knights:_Flashpoint_hits_Overwhelmingly_Positive on_Steam_with_a_big_new_update_live⠀⇛ Cyber Knights: Flashpoint from Trese Brothers has another huge update out now, and players are enjoying the game so much it's now hit an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Evil_Dead:_The_Game_gets_delisted_only_3_years_after release⠀⇛ Evil Dead: The Game from Saber Interactive / Boss Team Games, LLC is getting delisted from all stores (Steam purchases are already gone), although you will be able to continue playing it if you wish. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 407 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/02/GNU_Linux_and_Free_Software_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/02/GNU_Linux_and_Free_Software_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux and Free Software Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 02, 2025 § GNU/Linux⠀➾ * ⚓ LWN ☛ How_LWN_is_faring_in_2025⠀⇛ Just over six months ago, The Economist described the US economy as "the envy of the world". That headline would be unlikely to appear now. The economic boom referenced in that article feels like a distant memory, markets are falling, and uncertainty is at an all-time high. Like everybody else, LWN is affected by the current turbulence in the political and economic spheres; we expect to get through this period, but there will be some challenges. * § Security⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Wednesday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by Debian (glibc and libraw), Fedora (digikam, icecat, mingw-LibRaw, perl, perl-Devel-Cover, and perl-PAR-Packer), Red Hat (ghostscript, kernel, and kernel-rt), Slackware (mozilla), SUSE (augeas, firefox, and java-11-openjdk), and Ubuntu (binutils, libxml2, and nodejs). o ⚓ OpenSSF (Linux Foundation) ☛ Recognizing_Academic_Excellence_in Open_Source_and_Secure_Software_Education⠀⇛ Modern software demands more than technical know-how—it requires a deep understanding of secure, sustainable, and scalable systems. Recognizing this, the 'Linux' Foundation has launched its Academic Computing Accreditation Program, formally recognizing academic programs that align with industry-approved curricula from both the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ FLOSS_Weekly_Episode_831:_Let’s_Have_Lunch⠀⇛ This week, Jonathan Bennett and Dan Lynch chat with Peter van Dijk about PowerDNS! Is the problem always DNS? How did PowerDNS start? And just how big can PowerDNS scale? Watch to find out! o ⚓ Jupiter Broadcasting ☛ Linux_Goat_North_Van_|_The_Launch_🚀_20⠀⇛ Brent's crazy border crossing story and behind-the-scenes stories from LFNW. Then we will lay out the master rescue plan. Catch the Launch a day early, and with a special guest! o ⚓ APNIC ☛ [Podcast]_The_multiple_ways_of_multiple_paths⠀⇛ Geoff Huston discusses how to get more bandwidth by adding together smaller chunks, in links or in the protocol. § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ * ⚓ Beta News ☛ Ditch_Microsoft_Windows_for_ALT_Workstation_11:_A_Russian Linux_distro_with_a_modern_GNOME_desktop [Ed: This 'article' seems like it is mostly slop from the Serial Slopper]⠀⇛ There’s no shortage of Linux distributions trying to take on Windows nowadays, but ALT Workstation 11 actually makes a strong case for doing just that. Developed in Russia and now based on the stable “Salvia” branch of Platform 11, this fresh release swaps out the MATE desktop in favor of a full GNOME experience. If you’ve been frustrated with Windows 11’s confusing UI, forced Microsoft accounts, or bloated system updates, ALT Workstation 11 offers a refreshing change. The operating system doesn’t just give you a usable desktop -- it gives you control. On first boot, a welcome tool called “ALT Tour” lets you pick your interface style, from a clean GNOME layout to a more traditional “Panel Mode” that echoes the look of older desktops. You can also pick your theme, choose accent colors, and tweak window button placement without any hacks or extensions. * § Debian Family⠀➾ o ⚓ Paul_Wise:_FLOSS_Activities_April_2025⠀⇛ § Focus This month I didn't have any particular focus. I just worked on issues in my info bubble. * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Layout_A_PCB_With_Tscircuit⠀⇛ Most of us learned to design circuits with schematics. But if you get to a certain level of complexity, schematics are a pain. Modern designers — especially for digital circuits — prefer to use some kind of hardware description language. o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Radxa_Orion_O6_mini-ITX_motherboard_gets_Arm SystemReady_SR_v2.5_certification⠀⇛ Radxa Orion O6 mini-ITX motherboard powered by a CIX P1 12-core Cortex-A720/A520 SoC has just obtained Arm SystemReady SR (ServerReady) v2.5 certification, meaning it’s been shown to run unmodified several OS images such as backdoored Windows and Ubuntu. I’ve already tested a Debian 12 image modified by Radxa on the Orion O6, but one of the goals of the platform was to provide a universal UEFI + ACPI firmware to boot any Arm ISO released by OS vendors, for instance, the Ubuntu Desktop ISO for Arm 64-bit architecture downloaded directly from the Ubuntu website. The Arm SystemReady SR certification is a step in the right direction, as it means the Orion O6 has passed a number of tests showing it can boot several off-the-shelf OS images. § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ * ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ UN_Drops_Surveillance_Giant_Google_for_CryptPad,_an Encrypted_Open-Source_Office_Suite⠀⇛ The United Nations became the latest large organization to embrace this collaborative office suite when it used it to replace Surveillance Giant Google Forms. Here's what you need to know about the open-source project. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ FOSS_Weekly_#25.18:_Linux_Magazine,_Modern_Terminals,_Muse Pi,_apt_Guide_and_More⠀⇛ Before the age of blogs, forums, and YouTube tutorials, Linux users relied on printed magazines to stay informed and inspired. Titles like Linux Journal, Linux Format, and Maximum Linux were lifelines for enthusiasts, packed with tutorials, distro reviews, and CD/DVDs. * § Programming/Development⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ vowels:_Phonetics_cloze_quiz_about_Cardinal_vowels⠀⇛ Cloze exercise in which two randomly-selected Cardinal vowels have to be described according to the three parameters vowel height, frontness-backness, and lip rounding. o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Fast_Grouped_Counts_and_Means_in_R⠀⇛ Grouped counts and grouped (weighted) means? How to calculate them? And how to do it as fast as possible? o ⚓ Rlang ☛ flags:_Fun_with_Flags⠀⇛ Single-choice knowledge quiz question in which the correct flag for a country has to be selected from a list of flags. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 633 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/02/Huayra_is_a_Linux_distribution_based_on_Debian.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/02/Huayra_is_a_Linux_distribution_based_on_Debian.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Huayra is a Linux distribution based on Debian⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on May 02, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Huayra⦈_ Quoting: Huayra is a Linux distribution based on Debian - LinuxLinks — Huayra has many educational resources and apps included, allowing you to use it both at school and for any other activity.

This year, thanks to the work of our friends at the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (USPIRG) and their affiliate Washington PIRG, a coalition of groups got the bill through the legislature by emphasizing that the right to repair is good for people, good for small business, and good for the environment.

It’s kind of a mix of a source and a binary distribution. Even though it builds packages like a source distribution it provides binary packages. Upkg is a package management and build system using Mono. It builds, installs and keeps track of packages using XML specifications in Upkg repositories. paldo stands for “pure adaptable linux distribution” and we try to accomplish this in every package. paldo comes with very few patches against its packages. There are virtually no local changes, means every patch is one which will go upstream anyway (e.g. compile fixes) or one needed by the LFS build system to enable us to boostrap correctly. It’s very easy to make changes to the distro. You can change every package by providing a local version of the sources and specifications you’ve changed. You can even configure your system automatically through local differential repositories. The whole distribution is very flexible because it’s built on top of Upkg.

Hardly a massive corporation and it was acqui-hired by Nubank in a deal which left José Valim with the rights to Elixir. So we essentially have a BDFL model (benevolent dictator for life) which seems to serve the language well. There is a wide variety of companies using Elixir but none of them have massive input or hold particularly much sway over the development of the language. Most of the development of the ecosystem happen thanks to the efforts of lots of volunteers. Some are supported, funded or helped by the companies they work at. Some are not. Some run their own business and make time for community work (hello!). * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Model_Diagnostics:_Statistics_vs_Machine_Learning⠀⇛ In this post, we show how different use cases require different model diagnostics.

In this session, Dave will explore the evolution of data munging practices over the last quarter-century, showcasing how Perl remains a powerful tool for tackling modern data challenges. Whether you're a seasoned Perl programmer or new to the language, this talk offers practical insights and a chance to celebrate Perl’s enduring relevance. # ⚓ Perl Hacks ☛ Data_Munging_with_Perl_(1st_edition) [PDF]⠀⇛ Perl is so good for the extreme stuff, that we sometimes forget how powerful it is for mundane data manipulation as well. As this book so ably demonstrates, in addition to the hundreds of esoteric tools it offers, our favourite Swiss Army Chainsaw also sports a set of simple blades that are ideal for slicing and dicing ordinary data. o § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ Trail of Bits ☛ Making_PyPI's_test_suite_81%_faster⠀⇛ A robust testing suite is essential to the security and reliability of a complex codebase. However, as test coverage grows, so does execution time, creating friction in the development process and disincentivizing frequent and meaningful (i.e., deep) testing. In this post, we’ll detail how we methodically optimized the test suite for Warehouse (the back end that powers PyPI), reducing execution time from 163 seconds to 30 seconds while the test count grew from 3,900 to over 4,700. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 945 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/02/Red_Hat_Spreading_Buzzwords_Buys_Articles_Links_to_Bought_Artic.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/02/Red_Hat_Spreading_Buzzwords_Buys_Articles_Links_to_Bought_Artic.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat Spreading Buzzwords, Buys 'Articles', Links to Bought Articles, New Technical Articles⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 02, 2025 * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Virtualization_success_story_snapshots:_Who’s building_with_OpenShift_Virtualization?⠀⇛ B2 Impact Poland is one of Poland’s leading debt collection agencies.

Yet, returning back to an open source license is the basis for such efforts to be coherent with the Redis project, to be accepted by the user base, and to contribute to a human collective effort that is larger than any single company. So, honestly, while I can’t take credit for the license switch, I hope I contributed a little bit to it, because today I’m happy. I’m happy that Redis is open source software again, under the terms of the AGPLv3 license. * ⚓ Redis ☛ Redis_is_now_available_under_the_the_OSI-approved_AGPLv3_open source_license.⠀⇛ With guidance from Salvatore, our CTO, Benjamin Renaud, and our core developers, we have made some key decisions to improve Redis going forward: 1.

After all, we have a whole new world of terminal commands, desktop environments and applications to learn. Thankfully Linux installation has improved leaps and bounds from the earliest text based installers used in the late 1990s (Where I started my journey with Mandrake, Corel Linux) via graphical installers in the early 2000s (Ubuntu, Open Suse). From the 2010s we have seen better graphical installers providing clearer and easier means to install the latest Linux distro. The first steps into Linux now fall under two paths.: a single board computer such as the Raspberry Pi or more traditionally a dual boot setup, where Windows and Linux are installed to the same machine, often on the same boot drive. Using a custom boot menu, GRUB, we can choose between the two operating systems when we power on our PC. In this how to, we shall learn how to dual boot Linux with Windows, using Ubuntu and Windows 11. Before we kick-off, a word of caution. Ensure that you have backed up your drive before moving forwards. There is always a chance that you will accidentally overwrite your drive. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1777 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/02/We_re_Off_Ubuntu_25_10_Opens_for_Development.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/02/We_re_Off_Ubuntu_25_10_Opens_for_Development.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ We’re Off — Ubuntu 25.10 Opens for Development⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on May 02, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Questing_Quokka⦈_ Quoting: We're Off — Ubuntu 25.10 Opens for Development - OMG! Ubuntu — Canonical engineer Utkarsh Gupta fired the figurative starting pistol for developers in a post to the Ubuntu mailing list, announcing the opening, and the enabling of auto-sync. “As usual, we expect a large influx of builds and autopkgtests in this initial period, which will cause delays. Please help fixing any breakage that occurs,” Gupta adds. It’s only been a couple of weeks since the Ubuntu 25.04 release, but the dedicated devs who spent 6 months diligently shaping that release don’t get much time for a breather. They’ll need to maintain a steady pace to get Questing Quokka past the finish line. For us non-developers, news that development has formally kicked off starting block means, mile-by-mile, we’ll start to learn more about where Plucky Puffin’s mammalian successor is heading.
