Or do you want to buy a new NVIDIA GPU for your current Linux PC and are wondering about potential issues? Well, here are five distros with native NVIDIA graphics support that should work perfectly from day one. Now, this is possible thanks to proprietary NVIDIA drivers being more readily available than it used to. That said, not all distros ship with them out of the box or have them in their official repositories for you to easily download. Thankfully, a lot of them do, and here are five of the best distros with native NVIDIA GPU support for utmost convenience.

No cables, no manual configuration needed. Just quick transfers from one device to another using your local network. I know that it is faster to transfer files, specially huge ones, via cable. But if your library has thousands of photos and videos, it takes several minutes to load them. When you want to share just a few selected photos, it is easier to select on your phone and share them. Now, instead of uploading the selected files to cloud servers or sending them via WhatsApp, open source alternatives offer a more direct and private approach to file transfers with no third party involved. These tools are not only safer and faster but often more reliable than the aforementioned options.

One of the datacenters we have machines in is reorganizing things and is moving us to a new vlan. This is just fine, it will allow more speration, consolidating ips and makes sense. So, they added tagging for the new vlan to our switch there, and this week I setup things so we could have a seperate bridge on that vlan. There was a bit of a hiccup with ipv6 routing, but that was quickly fixed. Now we should be able to move vm's as we like to the new vlan by just changing their IP address and moving them to use the new bridge over the old. Once everything is moved, we can drop the old bridge and be all on the new one. * ⚓ CentOS ☛ CentOS_Board_Meeting_Recap,_June_2025⠀⇛ The recording of the June CentOS Board meeting is now available.

It was my first DebConf (the big one, I was at a Mini DebConf_in_Hamburg a couple of years ago) and it was interesting. DebConf 25 happened at a Campus University at the outskirts of Brest and I was rather reluctant to go at first (EuroPython_25 was happening at the same time in Prague), but I decided to use the chance of DebConf happening in Europe, reachable by train from Vienna. We took the nighttrain to Paris, then found our way through the maze that is the Paris underground system and then got to Brest with the TGV. On our way to the Conference site we made a detour to a supermarket, which wasn’t that easy because is was a national holiday in France and most of the shops were closed. But we weren’t sure about the food situation at DebConf and we also wanted to get some beer. * ⚓ Debian ☛ Bits_from_Debian:_DebConf25_closes_in_Brest_and_DebConf26 announced⠀⇛ On Saturday 19 July 2025, the annual Debian_Developers_and Contributors_Conference came to a close.

Compared to other recipe management software that usually tries to be more for general use, Bar Assistant is made specifically for managing cocktail recipes. This means that there are a lot of cocktail-oriented features, like ingredient substitutes, first-class ingredients, ABV calculations, unit switching and more. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Pyflakes_-_checks_Python_source_files_for_errors_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Pyflakes is a simple program which checks Python source files for errors. Pyflakes analyzes programs and detects various errors. It works by parsing the source file, not importing it, so it is safe to use on modules with side effects. It’s also much faster. Pyflakes makes a simple promise: it will never complain about style, and it will try very, very hard to never emit false positives. Pyflakes is also faster than Pylint. This is largely because Pyflakes only examines the syntax tree of each file individually. As a consequence, Pyflakes is more limited in the types of things it can check.

It is broadly used in securing communications, like encrypted messages and email, and ensuring the integrity of software packages in most Linux distributions. It enjoys a vast ecosystem of libraries, tools, and community support forums. Moreover, its robustness and versatility have made OpenPGP a security choice for other use cases in which encryption and integrity are important. These include file transfer applications, password managers, secure data storage, and signing source code in git repositories. There are other compelling reasons for why you might consider using OpenPGP in your project: [...] * § GNU Projects⠀➾ o ⚓ Amin_Bandali:_Mirroring_Protesilaos'_videos_to_Internet_Archive⠀⇛ I enjoy reading and watching the writings and videos that Protesilaos publishes on his website, with his work ranging from philosophy and various life issues to GNU Emacs and programming. Currently, Prot uploads his videos to YouTube and embeds them on his website.

Even after the railways came and forced synchronisation so their timetables could work, many adults were content to keep time by the occasional glance at the clock on a church or civic building. In the decade before the arrival of the Mac, one of the everyday duties of the police was to respond to requests for the time. Over the last 40 years we have come to expect our computers to keep very accurate time, something that’s particularly important in networking. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 788 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/27/Games_Godot_Project_and_GameOS.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/27/Games_Godot_Project_and_GameOS.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Godot Project and GameOS⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 27, 2025 * ⚓ Leon Mika ☛ Devlog:_Godot_Project_—_Level_4-2_And_Level_2-3⠀⇛ I can’t quite remember how far I got into building of level 4- 2 when I wrote my last Dev Log entry.

My Thoughts — Once a popular distro in the Linux space, Mandrake Linux gained repute for its user-friendliness and its practical graphical installer, helping many newcomers take their first steps into the Linux world. It evolved into Mandriva Linux in 2005 after its parent company, Mandrakesoft, acquired Conectiva, a Brazilian Linux distribution known for its focus on localization and strong support for the Brazilian and South American user communities. Despite its innovations, financial and management issues led to its decline, and Mandriva S.A., the company behind the distro post-2005, ultimately filed for bankruptcy in 2015. Rising from its ashes was OpenMandriva, a community-driven project dedicated to continuing the Mandrake legacy while striving to deliver the best possible user experience.

At scale, this leaves a ton of perfectly good computers in a difficult limbo where they are too old for the latest mainstream operating systems, but still functional enough to save from the landfill. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Post_Mid-Term_Evaluation_|_GSoC_2025⠀⇛ The mid-term evaluation period for GSoC 2025 took place from July 14th to July 18th. During this phase, contributors are required to submit a progress report via the official GSoC dashboard. At the same time, mentors provided their evaluations based on our performance, communication, and code contributions. I’m happy to share that I’ve successfully passed the mid-term evaluation ✅ This milestone was more than just a checkpoint — it was a chance to reflect on how far I’ve come since the beginning of the project. From setting up the development environment and understanding the GCompris codebase, to contributing my first features and collaborating with mentors, the journey so far has been packed with learning, growth, and problem-solving. The feedback from my mentors has been encouraging and constructive. It helped me realign and improve both in terms of development quality and clarity of communication and pacing up for final lap. With the mid-term behind me, I now feel more confident and focused heading into the final stretch of GSoC. o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ Sam_Thursfield:_Thoughts_during_GUADEC_2025⠀⇛ Greetings readers of the future from my favourite open technology event of the year. I am hanging out with the people who develop the GNOME_platform talking about interesting stuff. Being realistic, I won’t have time to make a readable writeup of the event. So I’m going to set myself a challenge: how much can I write up of the event so far, in 15 minutes? # ⚓ Nick_Richards:_Octopus_Agile_Prices_For_Linux⠀⇛ I’m on the Octopus_Agile electricity tariff, where the price changes every half hour based on wholesale costs. This is great for saving money and using less carbon intensive energy, provided you can shift your heavy usage to cheaper times. With a family that insists on eating at a normal hour, that mostly means scheduling the dishwasher and washing machine. The snag was not having an easy way to see upcoming prices on my GNU/Linux laptop. To scratch that itch, I built a small GTK app: Octopus_Agile Energy. Hopefully, it’ll land on Flathub soon for others in the UK to use. The app is heavily inspired by the excellent Octopus_Compare for mobile but I stripped the concept back to a single job: what’s the price now and for the next 24 hours? This felt right for a simple desktop utility and was achievable with a bit of JSON parsing and some hand waving. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Kivikakk ☛ Fortune_habits_in_Nix⠀⇛ I recently saw and liked Judy2k’s “Using fortune to reinforce habits” — building effective habits is an under-appreciated part of learning any discipline.

Most of them have been centered on pytest support. Long story short, I’ve came up with what I believed to be a reasonably good design, and decided it’s time to stop manually repeating all the good practices in every ebuild separately. In this post, I am going to shortly summarize all the recently added options. As always, they are all also documented in the Gentoo_Python_Guide. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1217 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/27/KDE_Plasma_6_5_Adds_Low_Printer_Ink_Notifications.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/27/KDE_Plasma_6_5_Adds_Low_Printer_Ink_Notifications.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ KDE Plasma 6.5 Adds Low Printer Ink Notifications⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 27, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇printer_management⦈_ Quoting: KDE Plasma 6.5 Adds Low Printer Ink Notifications - OMG!

It’s just a collection of software and a UI that allows you to access and run whatever’s installed, right? Budgie is a bit more than that. I hate to use this term, but Budgie is a vibe. It’s quirky, it’s cute, it’s user-friendly, it’s reliable, and it makes me happy to use. Budgie is, in my opinion, the perfect Linux desktop.

The one I'm settled in with right now is Fedora with KDE Plasma pre-installed, and I've been really loving it so far. I think it'll take a lot for me to move away from KDE Plasma; for the time being, it's basically my forever home. The cool thing about being a fan of KDE Plasma is that the developers keep everyone updated on what's going on behind the scenes. While the next version of KDE Plasma will be 6.4.4, people are working hard on features that will make their debut in version 6.5.0 when it is released. And one of those features is looking like it'd be a winner for anyone who hates discovering that their printer ran out of ink after sending the print job over.

I tend to prefer the latter despite the annoyances, because "keeping information in sync" is such a big problem. But recently I've been playing with a third option.
