It's a vast and diverse ecosystem of distributions. While some distros can seem inaccessible to newcomers, there are plenty of others that are designed to be beginner-friendly and easy to use. I recently covered five such distros, including popular choices such as Linux Mint, Ubuntu, and Zorin.

There is a plethora of Linux flavors to choose from, and experimenting with them in VMs or a dual-boot configuration is your best bet. Since Ubuntu is a popular operating system, and part of the Windows Subsystem for Linux and Hyper-V, you should give it a try. It is suitable for specific tasks on Windows; however, when it comes to using a Linux distribution full-time, I prefer Zorin OS because it is easy for Windows users to migrate to. While based on Ubuntu, Zorin provides a similar experience to Windows, but it’s all Linux on your desktop. It is a distro I prefer over Core Ubuntu. Now, to be fair, I am also fond of Mint Linux (also based on Ubuntu), but for the time being, I turn to Zorin, as it provides a more Windows-like experience. Plus, you can run most Windows apps (.exe) directly on the OS with minimal configuration.

generally played on personal computers. The game features a grid of clickable tiles, with hidden “mines” (depicted as naval mines in the original game) dispersed throughout the board. Microsoft Minesweeper is proprietary software. We recommend the best free and open source alternatives for Linux. * ⚓ Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Alternatives_to_Google_Firebase_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Google has a firm grip on the desktop. Their products and services are ubiquitous. Don’t get us wrong, we’re long- standing admirers of many of Google’s products and services. They are often high quality, easy to use, and ‘free’, but there can be downsides of over-reliance on a specific company. For example, there are concerns about their privacy policies, business practices, and an almost insatiable desire to control all of our data, all of the time. What if you are looking to move away from Google and embark on a new world of online freedom, where you are not constantly tracked, monetised and attached to Google’s ecosystem. In this series we explore how you can migrate from Google without missing out on anything. We recommend open source solutions. * ⚓ Srain_is_a_modern_IRC_client_written_in_GTK_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Srain is a modern IRC client written in GTK.

Ubuntu — When activated, Mini Floating Panel only displays the clock/date applet and the Quick Settings menu, alongside with a grab handle button that lets you move the mini panel to your preferred location on screen. You won’t see any other extensions icons, tray indicators or other applets in the floating panel. Rather like a media player mini-mode, it’s ‘essentials’ only. Click the grab handle to open the applications picker & workspaces overview. From there, the regular full-width top bar is shown, giving you access any other applets, add-ons or tray icons you need (without needing to toggle out of mini panel mode). As it shows ‘always on top’. the mini panel may get in the way of something else on screen at times. You don’t need to exit mini panel mode or move the panel to access them: right-click the handle to hide the mini panel for 5 seconds.

The latest example of this is a green screen of death that crashes my system every time I connect my Xbox controller to my PC over Bluetooth. This issue happened on the latest stable release, with no warning and no apparent reason—Windows just decided to start crashing every time I connected my controller.

There’s GNOME, Xfce, Budgie, Pantheon, i3, Cinnamon, MATE and so many more. One particular Linux desktop that gets plenty of attention is KDE Plasma, which is one of the more popular desktop environments available. Although KDE Plasma might not enjoy the popularity of GNOME (as GNOME is used as the default for a lot of distributions), that doesn’t mean it’s a lesser desktop. In fact, KDE Plasma is one of the most exciting desktop environments on the market.

Microsoft is already preparing or briefing its favourite media "operatives", telling them what to say and how to say it in order to shield the MSFT shares. When Microsoft isn't doing well - to_the_point_of_up_to_30,000_layoffs_in_one year - it means that many people, businesses and governments are adopting Free software (and in the process canceling Microsoft contracts). █ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣠⣴⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠋⠙⣯⣿⣯⣄⣄ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠂⢠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣯⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡔⣛⣾⣿⡿⠟⠀⠉⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢃⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢬⣾⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣡⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣧⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢐⣼⣯⣿⣿⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠇⠀⣾⠀⠀⠀⢐⠿⣫⣭⢹⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠁⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠋⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠁⣼⣿⡿⣼⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣄⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⠀⠀⠠⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⡇⢠⡄⠀⠀⣡⣽⣽⣿⣟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡾⠛⠿⡎⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⢛⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣤⣀⣀⡿⢧⣄⣴⣿⠀⣠⡄⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠏⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣾⣿⡟⠑⢹⣿⠟⠁⠹⢿⣿⢀⣾⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡿⠁⡟⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⣿⡿⠃⠀⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⡟⠁⠈⣧⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢡⡿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠃⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣷⡶⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣦⣤⣀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣾⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡿⠋⢡⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⢀⣠⣾⣿⣿⡿⠟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢀⣠⣴⣶⠦⠀⠐⠀⠀⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣿⣿⣣⣴⣿⣿⠋⠀⠙⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣽⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1107 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/06/29/Open_Hardware_Modding_Open_Source_Knob_Packed_With_Precision_Re.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/06/29/Open_Hardware_Modding_Open_Source_Knob_Packed_With_Precision_Re.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: "Open-Source Knob Packed With Precision", "Restoring a ZX Spectrum+ Toastrack", and Refurb⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 29, 2025 * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Open-Source_Knob_Packed_With_Precision⠀⇛ The world of custom mechanical keyboards is vibrant, with new designs emerging weekly.

What if it “just happened”? What started out as a silly exploration of how to count digits ended up with a race to see which language does it fastest. Maybe some surprises here for some, maybe some bad implementations on my part - let’s find out. o ⚓ Julia Language Blog Aggregator ☛ Counting_Digits_Quickly_| juliabloggers.com⠀⇛ {quickr} “transpiles” R code which means it takes R code converts the syntax into Fortran syntax using the same variables and equivalent functions where available. The idea being that when R isn’t working fast enough for you, instead of re-writing your function in something like C++ (via {Rcpp}) it can automatically write a Fortran version of your code and compile that into a highly performant function which can be called with the same arguments. Faster running code with no additional effort – sounds great! * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Adnan Siddiqi ☛ Generating_Buy/Sell_Signals_with_Moving_Averages Using_pandas-ta_|_Adnan's_Random_bytes⠀⇛ Moving averages are primarily used to identify trend direction and generate buy/sell signals when prices cross above or below the average line.

What it does (as suggested by the name) is to run something and then after the thing either exits or is Ctrl-C'd, it runs a shell. This is pointless in normal circumstances but becomes very relevant if you use this as the command for a terminal window to run instead of your shell, as in 'xterm -e thenshell '. * § Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Redowan Delowar ☛ Flags_for_discoverable_test_config_in_Go⠀⇛ I like to rely on Go’s standard tooling so that integration and snapshot tests can live right beside ordinary unit tests. Because I usually run these heavier tests in testcontainers, I don’t always want them running while I’m iterating on a feature or chasing a bug. So I need to enable them in an optional manner. o ⚓ Krzysztof Kowalczyk ☛ Go_is_80/20_language⠀⇛ Go is the most hated programming language. Compared to other languages, it provides 80% of utility with 20% of complexity. The hate comes from people who want 81% of utility, or 85% or 97%. As Rob Pike said, no one denies that 87% of utility provides more utility than 80%. The problem is that additional 7% of utility requires 36% more work. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1311 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/06/29/RefreshOS_2_5_Launches_with_a_Smoother_Smarter_Desktop_Experien.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/06/29/RefreshOS_2_5_Launches_with_a_Smoother_Smarter_Desktop_Experien.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ RefreshOS 2.5 Launches with a Smoother, Smarter Desktop Experience⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 29, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇RefreshOS⦈_ RefreshOS 2.5 is here, built on Debian 12.11 and designed to strike the perfect balance between simplicity and power.

Read_on Also in: * ⚓ Download_RefreshOS_2.5⠀⇛ RefreshOS 2.5 is a fast, clean, and modern Linux operating system built on the solid foundation of Debian 12.11. Designed to be the perfect middle ground between the complexity of pure Debian and the bloat of mainstream alternatives, RefreshOS delivers a powerful yet minimal desktop experience right out of the box. Installation is quick and beginner-friendly thanks to the Calamares graphical installer, making setup straightforward even for first-time Linux users. With pre-tuned defaults for permissions, power settings, and user access, RefreshOS feels instantly familiar. Sudo is pre- configured, allowing administrative tasks right away without any extra setup. This release includes extended hardware support through expanded non-free firmware, improving compatibility with a wide range of Intel, AMD, Realtek, and other devices.

Here are some examples of “filter shadertoys” applied to the very same test screen used before: [...] * ⚓ Chris Coyier ☛ One_Fix_for_DNS_Setting_Itself_On_Restart_to_127.0.0.1⠀⇛ For over a year every time I restarted my computer, the internet didn’t work.

The "devx" squashfs file is an example. It has lots of packages. APT/dpkg maintains a database of installed packages in /var/lib/dpkg; in the case of EasyOS, that will be in the bottom layer, easy.sfs. Then you want to compile a source package and bootup with the devx .sfs layered on top; how can APT/dpkg be informed that there are a whole lot of new packages installed? Unfortunately, it is not a simple matter of having another layer of /var/lib/dpkg in the devx sfs. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2047 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/06/29/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/06/29/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 29, 2025 * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Kevin_Fenzi:_2_days_to_datacenter_move!⠀⇛ Just a day or two more until the big datacenter move! I'm hopeful that it will go pretty well, but you never know. Early last week we were still deploying things in the new datacenter, and installing machines. I ran into all kinds of trouble installing our staging openshift cluster. Much of it around versions of images or installer binaries or kernels. Openshift seems fond of 'latest' as a version, but thats not really helpfull all the time. Especially when we wanted to install 4.18 instead of the just released 4.19. I did manage to finally fix all my mistakes and get it going in the end though. We got our new ipa clusters setup and replicating from the old dc to new. We got new rabbitmq clusters (rhel9 instead of rhel8 and newer rabbitmq) setup and ready. # ⚓ Bryan Lunduke ☛ Fedora_Blames_Lunduke_for_Saving_Fedora⠀⇛ The proposal to drop 32 bit software support in Fedora GNU/Linux -- which would kill Fedora as a gaming system -- has been scrapped... o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Canonical,_Maker_of_Ubuntu,_Reports Revenue_Growth_in_2024,_Reaching_$292M [Ed: Profit just 18M⠀⇛ Open Source—especially Linux—isn’t what it used to be 30 years ago.

Slow, clunky, full of bugs. And SLOW. Most of you may be already using something else, but in case you are wondering where to go next, and you’d like to consider software that is likely not going away anytime soon, FOSS alternatives should be on the table. There are many options, but I’m going to set a very specific set of criteria to meet for an application to be considered.
