After one year of working almost entirely remotely, we are especially excited to welcome you back for this occasion! To those coming from abroad: we are aware that not everyone can enter the US, and we are deeply sorry if this affects you! We know that there are also many free software enthusiasts who cannot leave the US and would not be able to follow the event to another country. Please know that we did not take the decision to stay in Boston lightly. Boston is the FSF's home base, and for the fortieth anniversary we thought it fitting to celebrate close to where everything began. We promise you: we will organize more events in countries where those who can't enter the US will be able to attend in person in the future. We invite you to email us at campaigns@fsf.org with suggestions of where you want us to have events next and what type of events you would like to attend. If you will not be attending the live celebration in Boston, we'd love to see you join virtually via livestream.

After all, Linux users haven’t traditionally been exposed to beautiful interfaces. Linux distributions range from command-line-only setups to functioning works of art. Most distros fall somewhere in the middle, and that’s perfectly fine because many of you prefer a balance between aesthetics and functionality. That’s probably the reason why Linux Mint and Ubuntu are so popular. Personally, I have a soft spot for aesthetically pleasing operating systems, even if that means sacrificing a bit of functionality. But BlueStar manages to deliver both.

A security warning from the Arch Linux maintainers highlights compromised packages of three of the leading Firefox-based browsers in the AUR. The distro hasn't been breached. Unfortunately, the attack is a consequence of how Arch's repositories are structured and maintained. The warning concerns three browsers from the greater Mozilla family: Firefox itself; a fork called LibreWolf, which removes some Mozilla telemetry and otherwise tightens up Firefox's security and privacy a bit more; and the fancy tiling Zen browser, which we looked at last year. All three had compromised packages contributed to the AUR on July 16. The compromised packages were called librewolf-fix-bin, firefox- patch-bin, and zen-browser-patched-bin, and the modified versions reportedly contained a Remote Access Trojan (RAT). Less than two days later, the affected packages were identified and removed. If you installed them, then remove them immediately and then reboot. The official advice is to "take the necessary measures in order to ensure they were not compromised" – which is absolutely correct as far as it goes. The problem is, of course, that you need to have considerable Linux expertise to check for extra unknown processes running on your machine, or for extra traffic going through your firewall.

When installing a Flatpak application, users generally expect it to come from Flathub. In contrast, many users of Fedora Flatpaks do not install them intentionally, but rather by accident, only because they are the preferred software source in GNOME Software. Users are often frustrated to discover that Fedora Flatpaks are not supported by upstream software developers and have a different set of bugs than upstream Flatpaks do. It is also common for users and even Fedora developers to entirely remove the Fedora Flatpak application source. Not so many users prefer to use Fedora Flatpaks. Generally, these users cite some of Flathub’s questionable packaging practices as justification for avoiding use of Flathub. These concerns are valid; Flathub has some serious problems, which I will discuss in more detail below. But improving Flathub and fixing these problems would surely be much easier than creating thousands of Fedora Flatpak packages and attempting to compete with Flathub, a competition that Fedora would be quite unlikely to win. Flathub is drastically more popular than Fedora Flatpaks even among the most hardcore Fedora community members who participate in change proposal debate on Fedora Discussion. (At time of writing, nearly 80% of discussion participants favor filtering out Fedora Flatpaks.) This is the most important point. Flathub has already won.

Some new features are included in the fwupd 2.0.13 release, like a new daemon configuration option to ignore efivars free space, support for glob-aware version comparison requirements, the ability to allow targeting specific regions in FMAP when using flashrom, and detection of static variables and magic numbers during code review. Read_on Linuxiac: * ⚓ Fwupd_2.0.13_Released_with_Faster_Startup_and_Lower_Memory_Use⠀⇛ Over a month after its previous 2.0.12 release, Fwupd, an open- source utility designed to simplify firmware updates on Linux- based systems, has rolled out its new 2.0.13 version. The update introduces a daemon config option to ignore efivars free space, which should help avoid false alarms on systems where EFI variable storage isn’t a concern. Meanwhile, glob- aware version comparison requirements now make it easier to handle firmware version checks in a more flexible way. For those dealing with low-level flashing, fwupd now allows targeting specific FMAP regions when using flashrom, providing more precise control over firmware updates. The team has also identified and flagged static variables and magic numbers during code reviews, helping to maintainability down the line. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣟⣛⡛⢸⢀⡀⣿⣾⠀⠀⡇⣿⣛⣻⠆⡿⠛⢳⡆⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠸⠇⠀⠀⠸⠋⠘⠿⠙⠶⠶⠃⠿⠀⠀⠀⠿⠶⠞⠃⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠰⠂⠴⠖⠶⠲⠆⠶⠲⠖⠶⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠘⠘⠋⠉⠛⠛⠘⠘⠋⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 979 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/22/Games_Fallout_Bakersfield_Mycopunk_Xenopurge_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/22/Games_Fallout_Bakersfield_Mycopunk_Xenopurge_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: "Fallout: Bakersfield", Mycopunk, Xenopurge, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 22, 2025 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Fallout:_Bakersfield_looks_like_an_awesome_Doom_total conversion_with_a_new_trailer⠀⇛ Made with GZDoom, a fresh teaser for Fallout: Bakersfield has been released and now I'm excited all over again for it.

Usually everything is pretty quiet. There’s no reason to make waves unless you are on the beach. Just out of curiosity, I was checking a few days ago what happens to the GNU/Linux distros used for gaming, expecting no change at all from a few months ago. Boy, I was wrong. I told you last time that CachyOS was the fastest growing distro back in May 2025. You would expect such statements to tamper down over time: you can’t usually grow forever on a very competitive market. Well… until now. First before the results, the usual disclaimer, as this data comes from ProtonDB: - This may not be representative of all types of GNU/Linux users. I’m sure this is not what your proprietary trap AWS engineer uses on EC2. - This may not be completely representative of all GNU/Linux gamers either. But I’d wage this is actually a good predictor where the market is going to shift. We saw first that Manjaro was getting the boot here first, before going under pretty much everywhere. * ⚓ EuroGamer ☛ ZeniMax_employees_discuss_chaos_of_Microsoft's_"inhumane" mass_layoffs_in_new_report⠀⇛ ZeniMax employees have spoken out following Microsoft's mass layoffs impacting over 9000 employees at the company, calling the process - which reportedly saw "hundreds" of colleagues at the studio lose their jobs - "inhumane". "It's not okay. It wasn't normal," senior QA tester Autumn Mitchell told Game Developer. "I don't care how many times [Microsoft lays off people] to try and make it seem normal - it's not. The way they do it is inhumane. I don't care how much they say that it's dignified or they want to do it in a respectful way - it's not." This month's mass layoffs - which impacted numerous Xbox studios including Rare, Turn 10, The Initiative, and Raven Software - were accompanied by multiple project cancellations, and marked the third round of significant job cuts at the company since 2023. * ⚓ ZeniMax_staff_lambast_chaotic_Xbox_layoffs:_'It's_difficult_to_work when_you're_looking_at_a_graveyard'⠀⇛ It has been around three weeks since Microsoft laid off a reported 9,000 workers, including many within its video game division, and multiple employees at the company's ZeniMax Media subsidiary have spoken out to explain how that chaotic day unfolded and detail the struggles of adapting to a new normal after yet another debilitating round of cuts at the Xbox maker. Microsoft's decision to force people out of the door hasn't just caused widespread upheaval and emotional distress—but, as some employees tell us, will also hamper the productivity of those left behind. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1170 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/22/Games_Steam_Deck_Gaming_on_Raspberry_Pi_and_Steam_Games_on_RISC.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/22/Games_Steam_Deck_Gaming_on_Raspberry_Pi_and_Steam_Games_on_RISC.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Steam Deck, Gaming on Raspberry Pi, and Steam Games on RISC-V Processors⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 22, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Steam_Games⦈_ * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ How_I_Installed_World_of_Warcraft_on_My_Steam_Deck⠀⇛ World of Warcraft is still a massively popular, massively multiplayer game. Even though it’s not on Steam, you can still play it on your Steam Deck and there’s even a handy mod to adapt the game for a controller layout. Having never played WoW before and being genuinely curious how well the Steam Deck handles third-party launchers, I decided it was time to see what all the fuss is about. I’m only two decades late, after all. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I_Solved_My_Loud_Gaming_PC_Problem_With_a_Raspberry_Pi_and an_Open-Source_App⠀⇛ My gaming PC is loud. Within minutes of booting up a game, it's a pixel-pushing jet engine—not the sort of thing I want sitting in my living room drowning out my TV while I play games on the big screen. Here's how I solve it by streaming from my PC to a smaller, less obtrusive Raspberry Pi. § Sunshine and Moonlight Let You Stream PC Games to Nearly Any Device Sunshine is a self-hosted game streaming server for Windows and Linux that works with a wide range of hardware (NVidia, AMD, and Intel are supported), and streams games from your own PC, rather than a cloud service. Once Sunshine is installed, you connect to it from Moonlight, a game streaming client which works on almost every device you could potentially play games from, including PCs, macOS devices, Apple and Android phones and tablets, game consoles, smart TVs, and, of course, the humble Raspberry Pi. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ You_Can_Play_Steam_Games_on_RISC-V_Processors_Now⠀⇛ Open source developers are building an emulator called felix86, which allows you to run x86-designed software on RISC- V processors, and they recently showed off some AAA games being played through their emulator using Steam. It's a big step for the still-emerging world of RISC-V computing and gaming, specifically. In a blog post, the felix86 devs reported that on RISC- V devices they were managing to get AAA games running, including The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Crysis, which are x86 Windows-only games. The developers told GamingOnLinux that they were running the Linux Steam client, "which means games that have Steam DRM can be played on RISC-V with felix86." Steam only officially supports x86 processors on Windows and Linux, with Apple Silicon support (based on ARM) in beta on macOS. However, it does work on Windows on ARM PCs with the built-in x86 compatibility layer, and various x86 emulation layers exist for ARM Linux. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣽⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢀⢰⢷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣴⣆⢔⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢋⣲⣤⣭⣭⣗⡯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠂⣾⡟⣽⣚⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⡁⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣁⣷⣿⡿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡘⣽⣼⣿⣮⣺⡾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠉⠘⠻⢿⣮⡾⢿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣶⣤⣄⡀⠀⠡⢶⢷⢸⣹⣿⣳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⢶⣤⣻⣤⣾⣯⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣭⣽⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣌⣝⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1279 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/22/Garuda_Linux_Is_Revamping_Its_Hardware_Support.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/22/Garuda_Linux_Is_Revamping_Its_Hardware_Support.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Garuda Linux Is Revamping Its Hardware Support⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 22, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Garuda⦈_ Quoting: Garuda Linux Is Revamping Its Hardware Support — The Garuda Linux team announced over the weekend changes to several packages that enable hardware support, including for Nvidia cards. It's an update optimizing and further modernizing the Linux distribrution meant for gaming and other performance computer tasks. Garuda is officially replacing some of its hardware profiles with more modern ones. These new hardware profiles don't rely on mhwd, Manjaro Linux's hardware detection software that Garuda describes as not meeting its standards and as "a major maintenance burden." Hardware profiles are metapackages, which are packages containing several individual packages for installation that typically go together. The packages inside a hardware profile depend on what kind of hardware you own. For example, in my Garuda Linux installation, I have garuda-hardware-profile-standard installed, which includes video drivers specific to the AMD card and other hardware I have in my setup.

But there’s also a third category: general-purpose Linux distributions, and that’s exactly what this article is all about. I’ll break down what they are, their pros and cons, and why they matter, especially for newer users looking to understand their options better and broaden their overall Linux knowledge. Before we go any further, however, there’s something important that often gets overlooked—and I want to make it crystal clear: at its core, because of how the Linux operating system is designed itself, every distribution—yes, every single one—can be adapted to serve as either a desktop or a server. That said, how well it actually performs in either role is a whole different story. Why am I saying this? Keep reading.

There’s now a solid way to stop these kinds of attempts, backed by one of the world’s tech giants, namely, Google. Yesterday, Google’s Open Source Security Team announced a brand new project, OSS Rebuild, a hosted service that automatically recompiles popular packages from PyPI, npm, and Crates.io and then publishes SLSA-Level 3 provenance for every build. In simple terms, it attempts to rebuild what developers download, verify that the binaries originated from the public source tree, and raise an alarm if anything appears suspicious.

It’s another sign that large organizations, especially ones in Europe, are trying to move away from locked- down digital services. Caroline Stage Olsen, the minister for Digital Affairs in Denmark, confirmed that the country’s Ministry of Digitalization is switching to LibreOffice. The migration from Microsoft 365 and Office will begin in July, and it’s expected to be complete within a few months. Olsen said in a (translated) LinkedIn post, “Far too much public digital infrastructure is today tied up with very few foreign suppliers. This makes us vulnerable. Also financially. That is why we are now testing in parallel at the Ministry of Digitization how it works in practice when we work with open source solutions.

While I have my own reasons for running Unraid, it’s definitely not for everyone. From being closed-sourced to charging per license on the downsides, to allowing complete drive freedom and flexibility on the upsides, here’s all the reasons that your storage system should be based on Unraid, and a few reasons why you should skip it. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 5_Mistakes_I_Made_When_Hosting_My_First_Plex_Media Server⠀⇛ If you’re thinking of spinning up a Plex library, let me save you a few headaches.

The IPFire 2.29 Core Update 196 release also modernizes the console graphics stack by migrating it to use the Linux Direct Rendering Manager (DRM), which enables the automatic use of higher screen resolutions on supported hardware, provides faster mode-setting, improves performance, and offers better support for multi-GPU and embedded graphics environments.

This version includes more WireGuard improvements, an updated toolchain, a modernised console, plenty of updated packages, and some bug and security fixes throughout the distribution. To keep IPFire aligned with the latest developments in the Linux ecosystem, we have rebased the IPFire kernel to Linux 6.12.34. This brings improved hardware support, better performance, and various security enhancements under the hood. Alongside that, we have also updated GCC, IPFire’s main compiler suite, to version 15.

A lot of single-fix pulls, and while rc7 isn't the tiny release it looked like mid- week, it's also not really any bigger than usual. So there are fixes all over, they are all pretty small.

This plugin requires mpv to be built with --enable-cplugins (default as of mpv 0.26) and to be built with Lua support (to enable loading scripts). This is free and open source software. * ⚓ OpenCommit_-_auto-generate_meaningful_commits_in_a_second_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ OpenCommit lets you auto-generate meaningful commits. There are multiple optional flags that can be used with the oco command: Use Full GitMoji Specification. Skip Commit Confirmation. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ fancy-cat_-_PDF_reader_for_terminal_emulators_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ fancy-cat is a PDF reader for terminal emulators using the Kitty image protocol. fancy-cat uses a modal interface similar to Neovim. There are two modes: view mode and command mode. To enter command mode you type : by default (this can be changed in the config file). fancy-cat can be configured through a JSON config file located at ~/.config/fancy-cat/config.json. The file is automatically created on the first run with default settings. This is free and open source software. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡇⠀⠿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⣀⣼⣦⣀⣀⣴⣯⣀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⢀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠁⠈⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⡀⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠉⠉⠻⡟⠁⢀⣽⣿⣿⠿⠛⠉⠁⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠈⠉⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⡁⠈⢹⠟⠉⠉⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⣦⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⢀⣤⠖⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠲⣄⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢴⠄⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⣀⡞⠛⠛⠁⢀⡴⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⠄⠀⠈⠛⠛⢳⣀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⢹⣿⣿⡖⠀⢠⠎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢲⣿⣿⡟⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣼⣿⣿⠃⠀⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣇⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⢹⣿⣿⠀⢸⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡟⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣸⣿⣷⠀⢸⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣇⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⢻⣿⣿⡀⠀⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⡟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣸⣿⣿⡧⠀⠘⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢼⣿⣿⡇⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠉⠀⠈⠙⢏⣀⣤⡀⠘⢧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⢀⣤⣀⡹⠋⠁⠀⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⡷⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣷⣄⡀⠙⠳⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⡤⠚⠁⢀⣠⣾⣿⣿⡇⠀⢺⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⣀⣀⣠⣇⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⡀⠈⠉⠙⠛⠛⠋⠉⠁⢀⣠⣴⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⣹⣄⣀⣀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⠀⠀⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⠛⠉⢉⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠈⠙⢿⠟⠓⠚⠻⡟⠋⠉⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡇⠀⣤⠀⠀⢰⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠉⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2055 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/22/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/22/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 22, 2025 * ⚓ Nicholas Tietz-Sokolsky ☛ Covers_as_a_way_of_learning_music_and_code⠀⇛ There's a lot of judgment out there about doing original works.

However, as organizations accelerate their cloud-native journey, the challenge often becomes about how to modernize these traditional workloads, providing them with the agility, observability, and resilience typically associated with cloud- native applications. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Bunsen:_A_smart_test_system_that_knows_your_upstream⠀⇛ Automated software testing sometimes operates on the code as a black box. The tools build the software, run the test suites, and collect results. At minimum, the tools can report pass/fail numbers. Generally, the tools cannot understand the scores, such as the cause and effect relationships between upstream code changes, environmental factors, and the results. Therefore, a human is tasked with taking manual action, because the testing tools don't grok the upstream. In this article, we'll look at how Bunsen, a lightweight test suite result repository and analysis engine, addresses this issue. § How Bunsen addresses this issue Bunsen scales enough to track large and busy upstream projects with millions of unit tests and is still nimble enough to fit onto a single server with practically zero infrastructure. Recently, we have extended Bunsen with upstream analysis capabilities, which has resulted in neat labor-saving and automation, with more coming.  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Unlocking_deeper_insights:_New_observability features_in_Red_Hat_OpenShift_4.19_and_Red_Hat_Advanced_Cluster Management_2.14⠀⇛ We're excited to highlight recent advancements in observability across Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes observability components.

When we talk about RISC-V, we barely mention support of real-time operating systems and seldom mention support of rich OSes, such as Linux or Windows, mainly because of a lack of support. However, this does not mean all rich Linux distributions cannot be run on RISC-V hardware: enter PineTab-V, reports ITHome.
