If Unity stayed. If Canonical chose Plasma or MATE or whatever. This can and should still happen. Plasma is the best desktop, hands down, and making it default on the most popular distro would and will revolutionize the Linux world. It should be the interface that Windows people see when they migrate over. Especially since SteamOS also uses Plasma behind the scenes. Canonical still has a chance to do it. Will it happen? I don't know. But it would be nice if Ubuntu flexed its muscles and uses its influence to make a real change. Otherwise, it risks becoming a rather milquetoast, forgettable idea that will be, 20-30 years from now, remembered as one of the early pioneers of Linux. But it will be the likes of Steam carrying the torch forward. Once, CentOS and openSUSE were mega names in the distro world. For many various reasons, they have lost their shine and impact. Ubuntu may yet fall prey to the same destiny. In my opinion, this hinges quite heavily on the architectural decisions Canonical makes. It's already set itself back immensely by deprecating Unity, by succumbing to the pressure over Upstart and Mir. It chose mediocre over right. Now, once again, it faces a major test, and it has a real chance to break free and make a stand. Ubuntu with Plasma. Wouldn't require much work, either, as Kubuntu is already a thing. Ah, a thing to see. Rant over, see ya.

While the Linux universe is full of distros—314 active distributions, according to Distrowatch—there are arguably only a handful that strike a good balance between high performance and great aesthetics. One such distro is Bluestar Linux. Before diving in, it’s worth mentioning what kind of hardware Bluestar Linux expects. While the folks at Bluestar say you can get by with a 1 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM, and 6.5 GB storage, they recommend a 2 GB or faster processor, 2-4 GB (or more) RAM, and 20 GB storage. This pretty means that unless your hardware is truly from a bygone era, you should be all set.

Multicore support: Internally, it uses work- stealing provided by the Threading Building Blocks library. Currently, there is still a known scalability bug in my implementation, so the speedup is not optimal.. Singular Extensions (SE): This is the most important algorithmical addition in comparison with Ghost 2. It was a clear improvement to the search. All in all, the search is fairly minimal. It is still work in progress and hopefully we will see some improvements in the near future. Cross-platform software – runs under Linux and Windows. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ moserial_-_serial_terminal_for_GNOME_desktop_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ moserial is a clean, friendly gtk-based serial terminal for the GNOME desktop.

Below is a summary. o ⚓ Michał Górny ☛ Portability_of_tar_features⠀⇛ This naturally raised more questions on how portable various tar formats actually are. To verify that, I have decided to analyze the standards for possible incompatibility dangers and build a suite of test inputs that could be used to check how various implementations cope with that. This article describes those points and provides test results for a number of implementations. Please note that this article is focused merely on read- wise format compatibility. In other words, it establishes how tar files should be written in order to achieve best probability that it will be read correctly afterwards. It does not investigate what formats the listed tools can write and whether they can correctly create archives using specific features. * § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ o ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ XML:_a_technology_at_the_heart_of_our_daily lives⠀⇛ In my last article, I mentioned XML several times, perhaps assuming that all users had a basic understanding of it. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ Coalition for Networked Information ☛ Joint_Conference_on_Digital Libraries_2025⠀⇛ The ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries has been scheduled for December 15-19; the conference will be a fully virtual, synchronous event. The call for papers, posters, and more has been released. For more information, see https://2025.jcdl.org/ o ⚓ ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries ☛ ACM/IEEE_Joint Conference_on_Digital_Libraries_JCDL_2025_-_JCDL_2025⠀⇛ JCDL 2025 will be held as a fully virtual, synchronous event. In addition to the main conference, JCDL 2025 will feature workshops, tutorials, panels, and a doctoral consortium. The program will also include opportunities to share a wide range of contributions, including posters for early-stage work, demonstrations of working systems, and a resource track dedicated to highlighting datasets, software, and collections that benefit the digital library community. We welcome participation from academia, government, industry, and other sectors, reflecting the broad and interdisciplinary nature of the digital library community. o ⚓ Lars Wikman ☛ Making_of_an_Elixir_conference⠀⇛ I’m making an Elixir conference and it happens 10-12th of September in Varberg, Sweden.

Wikipedia is big, but even so, it's bigger than it looks. For a start, the encyclopedia itself is larger than it appears: there are active Wikipedias in 342 different languages. More than 65 million articles and over 273 million pages, and they are all linked to each other within each language as well as between languages. The result is a vast linked knowledge graph, and it's free, open source, and multilingual. * § Programming/Development⠀➾ o ⚓ Nelson Elhage ☛ The_ITTAGE_indirect_branch_predictor⠀⇛ While investigating the performance of the new Python 3.14 tail-calling interpreter, I learned (via this very informative comment from Sam Gross) new (to me) piece of performance trivia: Modern CPUs mostly no longer struggle to predict the bytecode-dispatch indirect jump inside a “conventional” bytecode interpreter loop. In steady- state, assuming the bytecode itself is reasonable stable, modern CPUs achieve very high accuracy predicting the dispatch, even for “vanilla” while / switch-style interpreter loops! o ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Steve_Fink:_Effectful_Logging⠀⇛ These recent blog posts are veering in the “here’s a horrible thing I just did!” direction. No apologies. Recently, I was working on a weird problem where I wanted to snapshot /proc/$pid/maps before and after a couple of mmap and madvise calls. But I didn’t particularly want to write C++ code to do it. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ Just_say_no_to_broken_JSON⠀⇛ The JSON format has a simple syntax with a fixed number of data types such as strings, numbers, Booleans, null, objects, and arrays. Strings must not contain unescaped control characters (e.g., no unescaped newlines or tabs); instead, special characters must be escaped with a backslash (e.g., \n for newline). Numbers must follow valid formats, such as integers (e.g., 42), floating- point numbers (e.g., 3.14), or scientific notation (e.g., 1e-10). The format is specified formally in the RFC 8259. * § Security⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Friday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (.NET 9.0, container-tools:rhel8, ghostscript, git-lfs, grafana-pcp, pandoc, perl-FCGI:0.78, ruby:2.5, ruby:3.3, tigervnc, and varnish:6), Debian (jpeg-xl and mediawiki), Fedora (darktable, guacamole-server, mingw-gdk-pixbuf, and yarnpkg), Oracle (gimp, kernel, libsoup, python-tornado, python3.12, and thunderbird), Slackware (php), SUSE (libgepub), and Ubuntu (libtpms, linux-aws-5.15, linux- intel-iot-realtime, and linux-bluefield). o ⚓ Hacker News ☛ Critical_Sudo_Vulnerabilities_Let_Local_Users_Gain Root_Access_on_Linux,_Impacting_Major_Distros⠀⇛ Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed two security flaws in the Sudo command-line utility for Linux and Unix-like operating systems that could enable local attackers to escalate their privileges to root on susceptible machines. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 828 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/05/Games_OpenMW_0_49_Proton_10_0_2_SteamOS_Steam_Deck.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/05/Games_OpenMW_0_49_Proton_10_0_2_SteamOS_Steam_Deck.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: OpenMW 0.49, Proton 10.0-2, SteamOS / Steam Deck⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 05, 2025 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ OpenMW_0.49_arrives_to_enhanced_Morrowind_and_they're looking_to_support_later_Bethesda_games⠀⇛ Whew, this one took a while.

Something has really changed in the last few years. Maybe Linux just got better? Maybe powerful mini PCs made it easier? Maybe Apple just fumbled their relationship with developers one too many times? Maybe it's all of it. But whatever the reason, the vibe shift is noticeable. This is why the future is so hard to predict! People have been joking about "The Year of Linux on the Desktop" since the late 90s. Just like self-driving cars were supposed to be a thing back in 2017. And now, in the year of our Lord 2025, it seems like we're getting both! I also wouldn't underestimate the cultural influence of a few key people. PewDiePie sharing his journey into Arch and Hyprland with his 110 million followers is important. ThePrimeagen moving to Arch and Hyprland is important. Typecraft teaching beginners how to build an Arch and Hyprland setup from scratch is important (and who I just spoke to about Omarchy). Gabe Newell's Steam Deck being built on Arch and pushing Proton to over 20,000 compatible Linux games is important. You'll notice a trend here, which is that Arch Linux, a notoriously "difficult" distribution, is at the center of much of this new engagement. Despite the fact that it's been around since 2003! There's nothing new about Arch, but there's something new about the circles of people it's engaging.

With continued outrage from the community, Embark Studios is introducing a kernel-driver anti-cheat, but the upgraded security could potentially cause some hiccups. o ⚓ Transform_Your_Pixel_3_XL_into_a_Linux-powered_Clamshell Cyberdeck⠀⇛ urning an old phone into a pocket-sized workstation is something that never gets old for DIY enthusiasts. If you have a Google Pixel 3 XL lying around, there’s a clever way to bring it back into daily use. By combining it with Kali NetHunter, a Linux distribution famed for its security features, and a Bluetooth keyboard, you end up with a compact tool that’s perfect for those who enjoy tinkering, hacking, or just having a portable command center at their fingertips. The real beauty of this project is how it transforms a familiar smartphone into a fully functional palmtop device. With a custom 3D-printed clamshell case, the Pixel 3 XL now pairs up with a folding keyboard for a setup that’s both portable and practical. It feels like carrying a mini laptop, but it’s far easier to slip into a bag or even a jacket pocket, making fieldwork or on- the-go troubleshooting so much simpler. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Karton_GSoC_2025_Blog_#2:_Qt_SPICE_Client⠀⇛ After my initial_status_blog, I was really surprised to see so much support and excitement about Karton, and I’m grateful for it!

I posted a list of issues several days ago: Many bugs have been fixed, including the broken network tray applet, see recent post: Another bug was the mouse pointer being frozen for several seconds after the desktop starts. I was immensely puzzled by that, until today... I had a hunch that it might be something to do with udev, so compiled the Xorg server without udev support, thinking that is the most likely culprit. Good news, the devx sfs works.

So let's start by taking a look to those features before jumping into the more visible user interface changes. * § Debian Family⠀➾ o ⚓ [Old] The Guardian UK ☛ Ian_Murdock:_a_tribute_to_the_man_and_his work_on_Linux⠀⇛ Back in 1993, Linux itself was less than two years old and a year away from version 1.0. Collaborating with him was his then-wife Deborah Lynn – she was the Deb of Debian, and he was the ian. He also created the apt-get package manager. Let’s pause here to explain what those are, because our lives would likely not be the same without them. o ⚓ Matthias_Geiger:_Using_the_debputy_language_server_in_Debian_ (with_neovim)⠀⇛ Since some time now debputy is available in the archive.

I believe that they also wanted to allow a situation where POSIX functions were implemented on top of whatever oddball system calls you wanted to have your library code do, even if they set errno. So the only thing POSIX could really require was the traditional Unix behavior that if something failed and it was documented to set errno on failure, you could then look at errno and have it be meaningful. * ⚓ Coreboot (Official) ☛ Announcing_the_coreboot_release_25.06⠀⇛ coreboot 25.06 The coreboot project is pleased to announce the release of coreboot 25.06, another milestone in our work promoting the use of open-source firmware.

By "next generation", I mean built with the new "woofQ2", which is maybe shaping up to be the next-generation, only "maybe". Easy Scarthgap is built with woofQ, and that isn't going to change, as woofQ2 is specifically tied to using APT (Debian's package manager), and hence to building from packages of a Linux distribution that uses .deb packages.

It looks very similar to the Cursor code editor and uses Microsoft’s Monaco Editor and Arduino CLI tools to enable features such as intelligent code suggestions, project skeleton generation, and visual debugging. Embedr has all the Arduino features that you are familiar with, and on top of that, you can add other LLMs and experiment just by adding the required plugin and connecting them via API keys. * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ GPD_MicroPC_2:_Souped-Up_Successor_to_Original_Pocket_PC [Ed: Promoting Windows products in a "Ubuntu" site; probably paid to do this...]⠀⇛ Everything receives a sequel eventually, and so it is so for the GPD MicroPC.

I could also throw in other devices into the mix, with Intel graphics, Nvidia graphics, hybrid graphics, and then some. Except, I have only so much free time and so much appreciation for a good mystery. I could also tell you that I'm pretty certain, without having conducted any additional benchmarks, that whatever you see in Plasma, this is probably better than what you'll see in other Wayland and X11 sessions in other desktop environments. After all, my Plasma 6.4 review findings very nicely and predictably align with years and years of testing. Does these results point to any cardinal showstopper bug in KWin or Wayland or anything else, something that would explain the 100% GPU spikes? Alas, not. In fact, the more I test, the more I realize that the suboptimal numbers are a result of suboptimal software, not anything broken in the hardware or the drivers. I am quite sure no developer out there uses a lowly 2019 laptop for their work. Most probably have 32-core top-of-the-line systems, and so what may look like rounding errors on blistering-fast monster rigs is actually badly optimized (Wayland) code. But we can't blame just Wayland. Most modern software is badly optimized. There's frivolous use of system resources, as if money grows on trees and everyone's a rich Californian who can buy expensive hardware every couple of years. Once again, what I'm showing here is a troubling trend. "Heavy" code that will make Linux run badly on older systems, or at least, not as good as they could run. MX Linux is the best example of spartan, a proof that it can be done. Wayland not being stable enough. Wayland not being as fast as X11. Arbitrary decisions that force the user's hand. All of these are manifestations of a self-defeating pattern that is slowly spreading through the Linux world. And it will, without any help from Microsoft and alike, reduce the chances of the Linux desktop actually becoming a sound, healthy alternative to Windows. So, keep X11 around. Not for my sake. Not for us grumpy dinosaurs. For the sake of the Linux desktop future. Bye bye now, fellow nerds.

The former has been considered the standard way of estimating ETS, while the backcasting was originally proposed by Box & Jenkins (1970) and was only implemented in the smooth (at least, I haven’t seen it anywhere else). The main advantage of the latter is in computational time, because you do not need to estimate every single value of the state vector. The new ADAM core that I developed during COVID lockdown, had some improvements for the backcasting, and I noticed that adam () produced more accurate forecasts with it than with the optimisation. But I needed more testing, so I have not changed anything back then. o ⚓ Jumping Rivers ☛ R_Package_Quality:_Documentation⠀⇛ In this post, we’ll take a closer look at package documentation and how it helps assess the “risky-ness” of a package The documentation score evaluates how complete and helpful a package’s documentation is. Package documentation comes in many guises. It could be a function examples, vignettes or even a website. While we don’t believe every package must have a website, vignettes, and examples.

This comes after a Herculean effort of the Papers maintainers and contributors that started about four years ago. The inclusion into GNOME Core was lately only blocked by missing screen-reader support, which is now ready to be merged. Papers is a fork of Evince motivated by a faster pace of development. Papers is not just a GTK 4 port but also brings new features like a better document annotations and support for mobile form factors.

howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 05, 2025 * ⚓ Ted Unangst ☛ can_an_email_go_500_miles_in_2025?⠀⇛ Once upon a time, there was a university president who couldn’t send an email more than 500 miles, and the wise sysadmin said that’s not possible, so the president said come to my office, and lo and behold, the emails stopped before going 500 miles. Has technology improved? Can we send an email farther than 500 miles in 2025? There’s a lot to the story that’s obviously made up, but if we fix the details so that it can happen, we can reproduce it. * ⚓ Nathaniel Snelgrove ☛ Fix_grid_and_flexbox_layout_problems_with display:…⠀⇛ display:contents; is meant for use within flexbox or grid systems where child HTML elements like this break the flow of content. It’s support is decent (barring some tag-specific incompatibility). Its one downfall is that it breaks screen reader support; my understanding is that formatting is not read via screen readers when display:contents; is in use. (I am not positive this is accurate, but the situation used to be worse, and overall it seems fine today.) * ⚓ Michael Kjörling ☛ Get_your_own_domain_name!⠀⇛ Whichever provider you choose, if you donʼt already have one, then also at the same time get a domain name to use for your email, and start using that instead of the service providerʼs domain name. Also, do not register the domain name through the mail service provider. Thatʼs convenient if they offer the option, but unless you are careful needlessly risks tying the two together too tightly. Instead, work with a registrar, which is the company which takes your money and processes the domain registration itself (you will very likely need a registrar that also offers DNS or name service as part of the deal) to register the domain name first, then tell the mail service provider when you sign up what the domain name is and follow their instructions for associating email for that domain name with your account with them. * ⚓ Russell Coker ☛ Russell_Coker:_Function_Keys⠀⇛ For at least 12 years laptops have been defaulting to not having the traditional PC 101 key keyboard function key functionality and instead have had other functions like controlling the volume and have had a key labelled Fn to toggle the functions. It’s been a BIOS option to control whether traditional function keys or controls for volume etc are the default and for at least 12 years I’ve configured all my laptops to have the traditional function keys as the default. Recently I’ve been working in corporate IT and having exposure to many laptops with the default BIOS settings for those keys to change volume etc and no reasonable option for addressing it. This has made me reconsider the options for configuring these things. * ⚓ Sahilister ☛ Sahil_Dhiman:_Secondary_Authoritative_Name_Server_Options for_Self-Hosted_Domains⠀⇛ In the past few months, I have moved authoritative name servers (NS) of two of my domains (sahilister.net and sahil.rocks) in house using PowerDNS. Subdomains of sahilister.net see roughly 320,000 hits/day across my IN and DE mirror nodes, so adding secondary name servers with good availability (in addition to my own) servers was one of my first priorities. I explored the following options for my secondary NS, which also didn’t cost me anything: [...] * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Set_Default_Gateway_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ Network connectivity forms the backbone of modern computing, and understanding how to properly configure your default gateway is crucial for maintaining reliable internet access on Linux Mint 22. The default gateway serves as the crucial bridge between your local network and the wider internet, directing network traffic when no specific route exists for a destination. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_to_Install_PPTP_VPN_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Setting up a PPTP VPN connection on Fedora 42 provides users with secure network access for remote work, privacy protection, and bypassing geographical restrictions. This comprehensive guide walks through both graphical and command-line methods to configure Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol connections on your Fedora system. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Angular_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Angular stands as one of the most powerful and scalable JavaScript frameworks for building modern web applications. Developed and maintained by Google, this robust platform has become an essential tool for developers worldwide. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Enable_TCP_BBR_on_Manjaro⠀⇛ Network performance optimization has become crucial for modern GNU/Linux users seeking faster downloads, reduced latency, and improved overall connectivity. TCP BBR (Bottleneck Bandwidth and Round-trip propagation time) represents Google’s revolutionary approach to network congestion control, offering significant improvements over traditional algorithms like CUBIC and Reno. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Composer_on_Rocky_GNU/Linux_10⠀⇛ PHP Composer stands as the industry-standard dependency manager for PHP applications, revolutionizing how developers handle project dependencies and package management. This comprehensive guide walks you through installing Composer on Rocky GNU/Linux 10, ensuring your development environment is properly configured for modern PHP development workflows. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Thunderbird_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Mozilla Thunderbird stands as one of the most reliable and feature-rich email clients available for GNU/Linux users. This powerful, open-source application developed by Mozilla offers comprehensive email management capabilities, including support for multiple email accounts, advanced message filtering, encryption features, and extensive customization options through add-ons. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Grub_Customizer_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Customizing your bootloader experience on Fedora 42 requires understanding the complexities of modern GRUB configuration. Grub Customizer offers a graphical interface for managing boot entries, themes, and appearance settings, but installation on Fedora 42 presents unique challenges that demand careful consideration. * ⚓ Hans_de_Goede:_Recovering_a_FP2_which_gives_"flash_write_failure" errors⠀⇛ This blog post describes my successful os re-install on a fairphone 2 which was giving "flash write failure" errors when flashing it with fastboot, with the flash_FP2_factory.sh script. I'm writing down my recovery steps for this in case they are useful for anyone else.I believe that this is caused by the bootloader code which implements fastboot not having the ability to retry recoverable eMMC errors. It is still possible to write the eMMC from GNU/Linux which can retry these errors. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2490 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/05/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/05/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 05, 2025 * § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ o ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ Travel_Support_Available_for_openSUSE.Asia_Summit⠀⇛ To make the summit more accessible, the Travel Support Program (TSP) is available to assist participants who may need financial support to attend. Funded by the Geeko Foundation, the TSP helps cover some of the travel expenses presenters might incur with traveling to the summit. * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Axiomtek_KIWI330_Combines_1.6″_SBC_Form_Factor with_Alder_Lake-N_Processor⠀⇛ Axiomtek has introduced the KIWI330, an ultra-compact single board computer for edge AIoT projects with limited space. Measuring just 72 mm by 56 mm and 1.6 mm thick, the KIWI330 targets robotics, smart gateways, industrial automation, and other applications needing performance in a small footprint. o ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Sewing_with_LEDs_and_Raspberry_Pi_Pico⠀⇛ Incorporating LEDs into a sewn project is easy to do, and we’re not just referring to wearable tech here. You can also craft items that you can actually use for a functional purpose and, at the same time, add a little Raspberry Pi and LED luminescence to your design. This tutorial takes a look at how to add some LEDs to a simple storage pouch, which we are also going to make. In fact, these zipper pouches — which can be made in absolutely any size you want — are so uncomplicated that we’ve whipped up quite a number in order to house various components, as well as our general odds and ends that need a home. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2553 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 25 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
