Linux shouldn't be considered a last-choice alternative, either, because it's every bit equal to Windows or MacOS. It's reliable, secure, user-friendly, and free. What more do you want? I know: You want an operating system that looks and feels like Windows 10. That makes perfect sense because you've been using Microsoft's OS for a long time, and change is often hard. Which distribution is right for those seeking a seamless transition from Windows to Linux? There are quite a few choices out there, and I'll show you what I consider your six best options.

I was fairly certain that would be my distribution until the world ended. I'd become comfortable with Red Hat. Sure, it had its quirks and was sometimes a bit more difficult than it needed to be (remember, it was over 20 years ago), but it was stable and I'd grown to know it well. But then a new distribution arrived on the scene... Ubuntu. Oddly enough, the first version to hit the market was 4.10, aka "Warty Warthog." I'd not heard much about Ubuntu, but my curiosity was piqued, so I decided I would install it over Red Hat and see what was what. Since that moment, I've pretty much stuck with Ubuntu-based distributions for more than 20 years.

The company will provide hardware and software documentation, board support packages (BSPs), and reference designs. Nothing appears to be available publicly except the datasheet (actually a product brief), and downloading it also requires email registration. We were told to point readers to Mediatek Genio Developer website for software development resources. A development kit is also available with Gigabit Ethernet, a USB 3.0 port, three USB-C ports, eDP, LVDS, MIPI DSI and CSI connectors, a microSD card socket, a NanoSIM card slot for 5G, and more.

the Blender 4.5 LTS release finally makes the Vulkan backend stable, improving its performance and also adding support for OpenXR, Subdivision, USD/Hydra, and other features. On Linux, the Vulkan backend requires NVIDIA 550 or later for NVIDIA GPUs and Mesa 25.3 or later for AMD GPUs. However, the OpenGL backend is still the default in Blender 4.5 LTS because the Vulkan backend has some limitations, including performance issues with virtual reality, handling of huge meshes, and different limits compared to OpenGL, which are usually controlled by the graphics driver used. Read_on Linuxiac: * ⚓ Blender_4.5_LTS_Arrives_with_Major_UI_Overhaul,_Animation Improvements⠀⇛ Blender 4.5 LTS, one of the world’s most popular open-source 3D creation tools, is officially out, bringing two years of guaranteed updates and substantial quality-of-life improvements (maintained until July 2027), packed with enhancements spanning animation, compositing, rendering, and user interface improvements. One of the most anticipated features, the Vulkan backend, is now fully supported and matches the long-standing OpenGL functionality.

Few remember that Eich was appointed in 2014 as the CEO for the Mozilla Corporation, which he helped create more than two decades earlier. But Eich came under fire after it was discovered that he made several donations to many propositions and groups in the US that oppose same-sex marriage. Mozilla, a heavily left-influenced organization, effectively forced Eich to resign in just 11 days after his initial appointment as CEO. Later on, he went on to create the Brave browser, an alternative to Firefox that blocks Internet ads and aims to protect users’ privacy.

The first goal was to prototype the user flow by creating new Hey Hi (AI) and handlers for functionalities like detecting new packages and linting. Pretty early on, I hit a roadblock during a test run. When the service was deployed to listen for Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub events, it wouldn’t reject any incoming events sent through the tunnel to the local deployment. After a lot of digging, I traced the issue to the Apache configuration in the mod_wsgi-express server. This server, responsible for serving the Flask-RESTx endpoints, was misbehaving and causing all the trouble. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Live_migrating_VMs_with_OpenShift_Virtualization⠀⇛ Red_Hat_OpenShift_Virtualization allows organizations to run and manage virtual machines alongside containers on a unified Kubernetes-based platform. By integrating VMs into a cloud- native environment, OpenShift Virtualization ensures high availability, performance, and security while simplifying operations. This makes it a perfect choice for running business critical applications such as SAP HANA, an in-memory database that enables data processing, advanced analytics, and seamless integration across operations. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ AI_meets_containers:_My_first_step_into_Podman_Hey_Hi_(AI) Lab⠀⇛ I’m not a developer. I don’t live in the terminal. And until recently, I didn’t even know what a container was. But somehow, I found myself using Podman’s Hey Hi (AI) Lab—and actually enjoying it. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 552 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/15/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.1.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/15/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 15, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇terminal⦈_ * ⚓ mitmproxy_-_interactive_HTTPS_proxy_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ mitmproxy is your swiss-army knife for debugging, testing, privacy measurements, and penetration testing.

The Raspberry Pi 5 has 802.11ac Wi-Fi (known as Wi-Fi 5). By modern WiFi standards it offers bog-standard performance. The Pi 5 only offers a single stream with a single antenna. Over 5GHz the theoretical limit is 433 Mbits/sec as the device can only use 80 MHz width. And theoretical limits are never achieved even if your Pi is located right next to the router. Putting the Pi 5 in a case further reduces WiFi performance. And the case itself can really negatively impact WiFi performance. In my home office, I’ve got 3 Raspberry Pi 5’s housed in a Pironman 5, a iRasptek, and a no-brand passively- cooled case. There are images of the cases with links on the final page of this article. In my home office, the Pi 5’s Wi-Fi speed is lamentable. That’s a combination of the location of my home office which isn’t on the same floor as the router, the construction of my house, and the fact that like many single board computers, the Pi 5’s Wi- Fi is really only functional. Here’s a chart showing real-life Wi-Fi speeds with a cased Pi 5. * ⚓ WasIstLos_-_unofficial_WhatsApp_desktop_application_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ WasIstLos is an unofficial WhatsApp desktop application with the help of gtkmm and WebKitGtk libraries.

Most of the visible work has flown into creating an initial JMAP library that we can use to access the parts that we need from Thunderbird for iOS. This work will continue into July as well. Progress so far means making JSON requests and parsing responses and making standard get/set/query requests. There is support for working with sessions as well. In July we’ll have a few things to show for viewing actual folders and email messages. Very preliminary, but already quite some progress!

Among the notable improvements in this release is an update to Discover, the Plasma app management tool, which now features enhanced responsiveness, highlighting items immediately when pressed. At the same time, Plasma Addons received several valuable tweaks. One of them addresses window-switcher behavior by adopting the pop-up window type. Additionally, adjustments to Qt version checks now ensure better alignment with project standards, removing unnecessary searches for older Qt5 versions. KWin, KDE Plasma’s window manager, has also received multiple stability improvements. Notably, this update prevents crashes related to tablet event handling and ensures correct window activation and raising with panel interactions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⣠⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠋⠉ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣶⣾⣷⣿⣿⠿⢋⣝⣫⣭⣯⣿⣷⣷⡶⣶⣦⡶ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣄⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⣉⣹⠏⠉⠉⢵⣿⣿⣻⣯⡹⣿⡄⠻⡿⠀⠻⠟ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣘⣘⣿⣿⢛⣻⡞⠛⠋⠉⠉⠀⠀⣚⣻⣿⣿⣿⠹⠇⠘⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠔⠲⡯⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠭⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣩⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⢀⠀⡀⣴⣷⣿⣖⣂⣐⣷⣿⣿⠙⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢁⣭⣽⣿⠯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⢀⣤⢰⣴⣆⡀⣤⣾⣦⢒⣿⣿⣆⣿⡟⠫⢛⣟⠈⠉⠉⠉⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣄⠀⠀⢀⣤⣭⣽⣿⣧⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣏⢸⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⢼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣶⣿⣷⣿⣿⣷⣿⣶⣿⣷⡆⣾⡷⢿⣅⣠⣾⣿⣏⠉⣉⠶⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠘⠛⠈⣛⣚⡻⢿⣷⣟⠻⣿⣦⠛⠻⣿⣟⠛⠻⣿⣿⠛⠛⢿⣿⡛⠛⠻⣿⣿⠛⠻⢿⡿⠙⣻⢿⣟⠫⣛⠙⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣈⣙⢿⣿⣆⢻⣿⡆⠘⠿⠀⠀⠹⠋⠀⠀⠘⠛⠀⠀⠈⠛⠁⠀⠀⠈⣁⠀⠀⢠⣦⠀⢿⣌⠻⣦⡈⠁⠂⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣼⣿⣿⣧⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⠀⠙⠻⣿⣷⣹⣿⡆⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠻⣤⡀⠀⠹⣷⡀⠀⢻⣧⡈⠻⢧⢌⠙⠓⠢⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠲⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠊⠀⠀⠈⠋⠀⠀⠈⠛⢶⡤⡉⠛⠰⠤⡀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣬⣻⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⣿⣿⣿⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠴⢾⣿⣦⡙⠻⣿⣷⡀⠚⢿⣿⣦⡀⠠⣶⣶⣶⡄⠀⠀⣠⣤⣄⠀⢀⣠⣤⣄⣠⣴⣶⣤⡶ ⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣴⣶⣦⡙⣿⡗⠀⠹⠟⠁⠀⠀⠹⡿⠃⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⠀⠈⠉⠻⣿⣷⡈⠙⠻⣿⣧⠈⠙⣿⣷ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣄⣀⣰⣤⣦⣼⣁⣀⣠⣤⣄⣸⠟⠁⠀⠀⠹⠟⠀⠀⠘⠋ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠴⣿⣿⣿⡍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⢛⠋⠛⠛⠛⠛⠙⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⡿⠿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⠦⠄⠀ ⣿⣯⣏⣉⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1273 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/15/Milk_V_Titan_Brings_RISC_V_Performance_in_Mini_ITX_Form_with_Ul.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/15/Milk_V_Titan_Brings_RISC_V_Performance_in_Mini_ITX_Form_with_Ul.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Milk-V Titan Brings RISC-V Performance in Mini-ITX Form with UltraRISC UR-DP1000⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 15, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Milk-V_Titan⦈_ Quoting: Milk-V Titan Brings RISC-V Performance in Mini-ITX Form with UltraRISC UR-DP1000 Milk-V Titan Brings RISC-V Performance in Mini-ITX Form with UltraRISC UR-DP1000 — The Milk-V Titan is being developed with long-term open-source goals in mind.

Of course, there's the Steam Deck and SteamOS more recently, but even as a younger tech enthusiast, I toyed around with the tools in Kali Linux and live-booted Ubuntu to see if I was capable of switching. Even after trying a handful of distros and learning some basics about Linux and how it works, I never took the plunge. I never committed to actually using Linux, and I wanted to change that. Much to my surprise, it wasn't much of a change at all. Instead of dipping my toe in, I wanted to cannonball, even if that meant immediately drying off in the comfort of a Microsoft-branded towel. So, I finally decided to dual-boot. I picked up a new 2TB SSD, installed it in my PC, and committed to reserving it as my Linux drive. I thought I would bounce back and forth from Linux to Windows, trying out different distros until I found one that stuck. Instead, I booted into Linux after it was installed and almost forgot about an entire other operating system and stack of software sitting inside my PC. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_tried_this_Linux_distro_that_looks_like_Windows,_is_made_by_a Microsoft_engineer,_and_is_based_on_Ubuntu⠀⇛ Moving from Windows to Linux isn't as hard as you might initially think, but you'd be forgiven for having some worries. Switching to a totally different desktop environment is hard, especially when some of the apps you're used to may not be available. Well, while something like Ubuntu or Linux Mint already makes the transition fairly easy, there's another solution that makes things even easier — AnduinOS. This relatively new Linux distribution is developed by a Microsoft engineer (who doesn't work on Windows), and it's just about perfect if you're thinking about switching from Windows, as it makes everything feel familiar. I've been using it for a few days, and I have to say, I'm in love with it. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1390 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/15/Open_Hardware_Modding_Arduino_Rowhammer_NanoPi_RISC_V_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/15/Open_Hardware_Modding_Arduino_Rowhammer_NanoPi_RISC_V_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: Arduino, Rowhammer, NanoPi, RISC-V, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 15, 2025 * ⚓ Arduino ☛ This_DIY_programmable_diaphragm_pump_is_perfect_for_lab_use⠀⇛ The pump Marb used for this project is just a 12VDC diaphragm pump that you can get anywhere for a few dollars.

Radxa OS and Flippy OpenWrt are also mentioned in the list of supported operating systems, but the documentation website also adds iStoreOS, a fork of OpenWrt with a user interface aiming to simplify the configuration process, featuring the iStore app store for OpenWrt, and also acting as a lightweight NAS software. It is supported by the Radxa E20C, so I’d expect it to run on both the R24C and R54C as well.

They were right. The switch from calling it “free software” to calling it “open source” sparked a massive, unbroken wave of adoption, to the point where today it’s hard to find anyone who will profess enmity for “open source,” not even Microsoft (who once called it “a cancer”). Two motives animated “open source” partisans: first, they didn’t like the ambiguity of “free software.” Famously, Richard Stallman (who coined “free software”) viewed this ambiguity as a feature, not a bug. He liked that “free” had a double meaning: “free as in speech” (an ethical proposition) and “free as in beer” (without cost). Stallman viewed the ambiguity of “free software” as a koan/conversation-starter: a normie, hearing “free software,” would inquire as to whether this meant that the software couldn’t be sold commercially, which was an opening for free software advocates to explain the moral philosophy of software freedom. For “open source” partisans, this was a bug, not a feature. They wanted to enlist other hackers to develop freely licensed codes, and convince their bosses to adopt this code for internal and public-facing use. For the “open source” advocates, a term designed to confuse was a liability, a way to turn off potential collaborators (“if you’re explaining, you’re losing”). But the “open source” side wasn’t solely motivated by a desire to simplify things by jettisoning the requirement to conscript curious bystanders into a philosophical colloquy. Many of them also disagreed with the philosophy of free software. They weren’t excited about building a “commons” or in preventing rent extraction by monopolistic firms. Some of them quite liked the idea of someday extracting their own rents. For these “open source” advocates, the advantage of free software methodologies — publishing code for peer review and third-party improvement — was purely instrumental: it produced better code. Publication, peer review, and unrestricted follow-on innovation are practices firmly rooted in the Enlightenment, and are the foundation of the scientific method. Allowing strangers to look at your code, critique it, and fix it is a form of epistemic humility, an admission that we are all forever at risk of fooling ourselves, and it’s only through adversarial peer review that we can know whether we are right.

Initial support for Linux kernel 6.16 landed in the previous update, VirtualBox 7.1.10. This release also improves the Linux Guest Additions by fixing an issue that made VBoxClient fail to start if the Linux guest was running a kernel from the Linux 2.6 series or older, an issue that prompted a warning in the system log due to an incorrect udev rule, as well as an issue causing ‘rcvboxadd status- kernel’ to report an incorrect status when the Linux guest was running a kernel from the Linux 3.10 series or older.

One of the best options for most people is Linux. Modern Linux distributions are user-friendly, rock-solid, and free. If you have zero experience with Linux, you might think it's above your skills, so you have yet to find the courage to use it. Back in 1997, when I discovered Linux, I was clueless about how it worked. When I finally installed the open-source OS, I didn't know that it overwrote Windows, which meant I had no choice but to learn Linux.
