However, I've switched to an open-source alternative, and I don't regret it for a moment. Many of the complaints about open-source alternatives to premium software like Adobe Premiere boil down to one thing: they lack features. In searching for a Premiere replacement, my only real criteria were that the app must work on both Linux and Windows and that it must provide a majority of the features that Premiere does. It didn't need to be perfect, just "close enough." Most of the options I tried actually worked reasonably well and had the features I was looking for, but Kdenlive stood head- and-shoulders above the rest of the pack. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 221 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/Applications_Newelle_System_Monitoring_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/Applications_Newelle_System_Monitoring_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Applications: Newelle, System Monitoring, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2025 * ⚓ XDA ☛ Linux's_GNOME-based_AI_assistant_has_been_fully_released,_and_it can_enter_Terminal_commands_for_you⠀⇛ It seems that AI has really shaken the tech world down to its core. With Microsoft and Apple adopting AI big-time, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Linux users would have passed on this tech trend. However, a recent project has proved us wrong, as the GNOME-based AI assistant, Newelle, has just been released in its 1.0 state. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_couldn't_bear_Ubuntu's_built-in_System_Monitor_and_replaced_it with_this_stunning_tool_instead⠀⇛ I use Ubuntu as a test system, mainly for trying self-hosted apps that may bring my Raspberry Pi Zero to its knees. When you work with self-hosted apps, you tend to monitor their resource usage and fix problematic processes and services. Previously, Ubuntu’s default resource monitor, System Monitor, was my go-to tool. However, it had its fair share of pain points, ranging from a less configurable graph design to limited component graphs and missing service management options. I looked for an alternative, and Mission Center looked quite appealing with its polished graphs, ability to show GPU usage, a dedicated service management tab, and more control over everything. All of this, condensed into a visually appealing package, made me instantly switch to Mission Center. Let's look at the quirks that make it a better resource monitor tool than the built-in one. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Secure_and_optimize_your_Raspberry_Pi_in_minutes_with_these simple_steps⠀⇛ Out of the box, a Raspberry Pi is configured for general use, but there are several settings you can tweak to make it more secure, efficient, and tailored to your projects. Whether you're running a headless server or building a desktop-like experience, changing a few defaults can make a big difference. These adjustments don't take long but can significantly improve how your Pi performs and interacts with your network or hardware. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 287 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/Destination_Linux_Late_Night_Linux_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/Destination_Linux_Late_Night_Linux_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Destination Linux, Late Night Linux, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2025 * ⚓ Destination_Linux_431:_UK_Privacy_Laws,_Open-Source_E-Ink,_and_a_GNU/ Linux_Hey_Hi_(AI)_Assistant⠀⇛ 00:02:11 Community Feedback 00:03:46 Davinci Resolve on Linux 00:16:14 The internet is done for... at least lawmakers are trying to end it 00:33:04 High Refresh E-ink is here, and it is open source! 00:42:27 Newelle, an Hey Hi (AI) Assistant for GNOME 00:55:18 Software Spotlight: Gapless 01:01:14 Support the show & Outro * ⚓ Tux Digital ☛ 431:_UK_Privacy_Laws,_Open-Source_E-Ink,_and_a_GNU/Linux Hey_Hi_(AI)_Assistant⠀⇛ This week on Destination Linux, we’re diving into the UK’s controversial Online Safety Act and what it means for privacy and encryption, checking out the new high-refresh, open-source Modos e-ink monitor, exploring Newelle — an Hey Hi (AI) assistant built for the GNOME desktop, and highlighting Gapless, the lightweight music player perfect for huge collections. * ⚓ Late_Night_Linux_–_Episode_346⠀⇛ A new Debian version is out and it’s the end of the 32-bit x86 era, an proprietary trap AWS user almost found out the hard way about the need for proper backups, Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub is finally fully swallowed into Abusive Monopolist Microsoft (having gone all in on AI), and a quick KDE Korner. * ⚓ New_Superior_Image/Video_Generator⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 357 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/Fedora_Red_Hat_IBM_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/Fedora_Red_Hat_IBM_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Fedora / Red Hat / IBM Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2025 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Hughes:_LVFS_Sustainability_Plan [Ed: "The_'Linux'_Foundation_is kindly_paying,"_says_a_site_controlled_and_paid_by_it_as_well]⠀⇛ Richard Hughes, creator and maintainer of the Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS), has written a blog post about the sustainability plan he has put together for the service. He is calling for the vendors that use the service to help fund its development and maintenance going forward. The 'Linux' Foundation is kindly paying for all the hosting costs of the LVFS, and Red Bait pays for all my time — but as LVFS grows and grows that's going to be less and less sustainable longer term. We're trying to find funding to hire additional resources as a "me replacement" so that there is backup and additional attention to LVFS (and so that I can go on holiday for two weeks without needing to take a laptop with me). This year there will be a fair-use quota introduced, with different sponsorship levels having a different quota allowance. Nothing currently happens if the quota is exceeded, although there will be additional warnings asking the vendor to contribute. The "associate" (free) quota is also generous, with 50,000 monthly downloads and 50 monthly uploads. This means that almost all the 140 vendors on the LVFS should expect no changes. (Thanks to Paul Wise.) * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ The_next_evolution_of_Red_Hat’s_Developer_options⠀⇛ We recently announced another new offering for business developers, which provides a no-cost, self-service subscription for development and testing. You can learn more about this new offering here: Announcing self-service access to Red Hat Enterprise Linux for business developers * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_Named_a_Leader_in_2025_Gartner®_Magic Quadrant™_for_Container_Management_for_the_Third_Consecutive_Year⠀⇛ Red Hat OpenShift is recognized for its ability to execute and completeness of vision. Red Hat’s investments in OpenShift as a platform for AI workloads, and in building AI capabilities directly into the product to make users’ jobs easier. We believe it is also reflected in Red Hat’s position in the Gartner Magic Quadrant.  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ MCP_server_development:_Make_agentic_AI_your_API’s "customer_zero"⠀⇛ To give you some context, Red Hat Trusted Profile Analyzer (TPA) is a Red Hat product for software bill of materials (SBOM) management—it stores SBOMs and correlates the packages within the SBOMs with known public vulnerabilities. It is based on the upstream project Trustify. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_use_Minio_for_Ansible_automation_hub⠀⇛ This article explores how to configure and use MinIO—a high- performance, self-hosted object storage solution—as a backend for Ansible_automation_hub when deploying Red_Hat_Ansible Automation_Platform. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Disaster_recovery_approaches_for_Red_Bait_OpenShift Virtualization,_part_2⠀⇛ In Disaster_recovery_approaches_for_Red_Bait_OpenShift Virtualization, we laid the foundation for disaster recovery by exploring how cluster topology, storage architecture, and replication strategies underpin service availability. In this follow-up post, we take the next step: orchestrating application failover using Kubernetes-native constructs and GitOps workflows. Here, disaster recovery (DR) becomes less about where data lives, and more about how workloads are redeployed, prioritized, and verified in the face of disruption—bringing declarative control, automation and auditability to the operational layer. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_migrate_smart_inventories_to_constructed_inventories⠀⇛ So far in this article series, we talked about managing or migrating configurations of the whole Red_Hat_Ansible Automation_Platform cluster. This article is a little different. We will talk about the migration of one specific object, inventories. For a number of years, smart inventories were a very useful tool for running workloads on a subset of existing hosts without duplicating them. Recently, Red Bait announced plans to discontinue support of smart inventories in favor of constructed inventories. The feature will be discontinued in the future releases of Ansible Automation Platform. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 498 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇files⦈_ * ⚓ cython-lint_-_lint_Cython_files_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ cython-lint is a tool and pre-commit hook to lint Cython files.

A recent data point here is that Damien Miller (djm@) just committed a new OpenSSH Post-Quantum Cryptography FAQ page to the OpenSSH web site: [...] * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Redis_8.2_Brings_Up_to_49%_More_Throughput⠀⇛ After returning to the open source family in early May, Redis, a distributed in-memory key-value data store, officially rolled out version 8.2 a few days ago, building on the foundation set by Redis 8.0. The headline figures are more than impressive: This update offers up to 35% faster command execution, 49% higher throughput—surpassing one million operations per second on a single instance—and memory savings of up to 67% in certain scenarios. * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ W Evan Sheehan ☛ A_Subtle_Footgun_in_Eleventy’s_Default_Permalink Algorithm_-_Evan_Sheehan⠀⇛ My mental model of how Eleventy maps input files to output files by default is that the path of the file in the input directory is the path of the file in the output directory. If I have a blog post written on 1 August in my input directory at blog/2025/08/01.md, I expect that file to be written to blog/2025/08/01/index.html in my output folder. And for the most part this is true. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ Olimex ☛ Join_Us_at_Varnaconf_2025_–_Varna’s_Premier_IT_Event!⠀⇛ Varnaconf is back — part of the IT Tour series — bringing together tech enthusiasts, professionals, and innovators for a full day of inspiring talks, hands-on workshops, and networking. * § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ o ⚓ Omicron Limited ☛ Even_online,_body_language_in_court_still matters⠀⇛ And online, contrary to what one might think, nonverbal communication doesn't disappear. "Generally speaking, there's no less nonverbal behavior in virtual trials—it's just different," said Denault. The differences are wide-ranging. For example, in a videoconference, only part of the judge or a witness is visible; one doesn't see the whole person. People also experience a trial differently in a courtroom setting, which lends a certain gravitas to the proceedings. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 659 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/Games_SteamOS_Moonsigil_Atlas_GE_Proton_10_11_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/Games_SteamOS_Moonsigil_Atlas_GE_Proton_10_11_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: SteamOS, Moonsigil Atlas, GE-Proton 10-11, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2025 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Why_some_games_on_Linux,_SteamOS_/_Steam_Deck_have broken_videos_and_what_you_can_do⠀⇛ See a weird pattern of colours when playing some games on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck?

This was only possible after some generous community member shipped me a few live CDs since I was unable to get the ISO burned to a disc and booted on my system at just 16. Before that, I was always a Windows user and my side job through school was at a PC repair shop where we always dealt with Microsoft-powered hardware, be it prepping new builds or repairing used systems. * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Jupiter Broadcasting ☛ The_2_a.m._Rescue_|_LINUX_Unplugged_627⠀⇛ Wes performs a 2 a.m. rescue at DEFCON, and Chris attempts to build a GNU/Linux desktop using nothing but vibes. * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ What_Is_Kodi,_and_Should_You_Use_It?⠀⇛ Kodi is an app you've almost certainly heard about—probably with some shady undertones—but how much do you actually know about it? Yes, you may know it's used to play media like videos, but that there's also been some controversy around the software. The truth is that Kodi is a powerful media playback tool for multiple operating systems, including Linux. If you're looking to build a Linux-based home theater or media PC, then you need to at least consider whether Kodi is the right solution for you. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ XDA ☛ KDE_makes_the_"dumb"_Copilot_key_useful_on_Linux laptops⠀⇛ If you ever feel useless, rest assured that you're currently not as useless as the Copilot key on a Linux user's laptop. Well, I say "currently," because the Linux community are finding ways to tweak the Copilot key so it's actually useful to them, instead of just being a dead key. If you use KDE's apps, you may see these changes happen sooner rather than later. KDE recently confirmed that it's planning to make the Copilot key do work for Linux users, but not before it claimed that the existence of the key itself is "dumb." ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 997 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/Hardware_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/Hardware_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Hardware Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2025 * § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ DEF_CON_hackers_plug_security_holes_in_US_water systems⠀⇛ The Franklin project, named for Benjamin Franklin, who founded America's first volunteer fire department, launched at last year's DEF CON with 350 people signing up to give their time and talent to water facilities at no charge. * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ The DIY Life ☛ LCMD_Microserver_&_Hey_Hi_(AI)_Pod,_A_Compact Homelab_Powerhouse⠀⇛ If you’re into homelabs or setting up your own personal cloud server, I’ve got something really interesting to share with you today.

But behind that dull façade lies a marvel of late- 1980s chip packaging, the kind of engineering we've taken for granted.

Different manufacturers were competing at different price points, with varied form factors, each with their own idea of what a modern computer should look like. The results have largely shaped the now-popular retro-futurism vibe seen in shows like Severance and games like Starfield. Here are some of the best-looking forerunners of whatever it is you’re reading this on. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ How_My_Homelab_Became_the_Most_Useful_Thing_in_My_Home⠀⇛ My homelab does a lot in my household, but one of the main functions of it is my media servers. I have a video server, audiobook server, and ebook server even—all of which make accessing my self-hosted content a breeze. Plex powers my video server, allowing me to access my media library both at home and when I’m out and about. I’ve used my Plex server to download movies to watch on airplanes before, or even just enjoy a movie in the car while riding down the road. Audiobookshelf handles all of my audiobook needs. Not all audiobooks are available on Audible, and I like to go directly to the publisher when I can. So, I have my own audiobook server that allows me to listen to my entire library anywhere I am. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ The_First_5_Things_I’d_Set_Up_If_I_Were_Building_a_Homelab Today⠀⇛ Are you just getting started on your homelab journey? I’ve been building out my homelab for nearly five years at this point, and I’ve learned a lot on the way. Here are the first things that I would deploy today if I was building a homelab from scratch. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I_Run_My_Favorite_Apps_in_Docker_So_I_Never_Need_to Reinstall_Them⠀⇛ Are you tired of configuring, and reconfiguring, and configuring yet again your favorite server applications? I was, but Docker fixed that. Portability makes Docker one of my favorite homelab tools, and I think you’ll love it too. § Configuring Apps Is the Most Annoying Part of Any Software There’s nothing more annoying than configuring and setting up self-hosted apps. Some software makes setup a breeze, and it only takes a few minutes, while other programs can, quite literally, take several hours to properly configure. Between setting up users, remote access, libraries and catalogs, and other configuration options, once I have a program set up I don’t want to go through the process again. This is one of the best features of Docker—once you set up a program, you really don’t have to worry about setting it up again in the future unless something goes majorly wrong with your configuration files. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Why_I’m_Done_Using_My_Laptop_as_a_Desktop⠀⇛ Are you using a laptop as a desktop? That’s been my life for years, but after a recent experiment, I actually think that having a dedicated desktop is worth it—even with how great and powerful modern laptops are. § Modern Laptops Are Great Desktop Replacements For years, I longed for the day when a laptop could truly replace my desktop. I tried to accomplish this task since 2012, and could never do it. Sure, I would end up using whatever MacBook Pro I had at the time as my desktop, but it was always lacking in one way or another—whether that was GPU power, CPU power, thermals, or another area. In 2016, I finally made the switch to running my life on a laptop. The 2016 15.4-inch MacBook Pro offered enough performance to become my desktop replacement. Fast-forward to 2021 and the launch of Apple’s M1 Pro/Max lineup of in-house processors, and you have the ideal machine. Apple’s M-series processors offer plenty of raw power in an energy-efficient package, allowing you to use the same computer at home or on-the-go and enjoy the same power at both places. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1204 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/I_can_t_live_without_these_5_obscure_Linux_apps.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/I_can_t_live_without_these_5_obscure_Linux_apps.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ I can’t live without these 5 obscure Linux apps⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇quickget⦈_ Quoting: I can’t live without these 5 obscure Linux apps — Linux gives you options for everything. You don’t like an app? There is probably an open source alternative out there waiting for you. You don’t like the OS itself? There is probably a distro that meets your needs. However, the sheer amount of free software available can be overwhelming. You might not know which one to choose, so you go after the popular options. I used to do the same, but the nature of my job led me to explore some obscure apps, and these have now become an important part of my workflow.

This was only possible after some generous community member shipped me a few live CDs since I was unable to get the ISO burned to a disc and booted on my system at just 16. Before that, I was always a Windows user and my side job through school was at a PC repair shop where we always dealt with Microsoft-powered hardware, be it prepping new builds or repairing used systems. Once I finally got hold of a working Linux installation, there was no looking back. Nearly two decades later and I still enjoy booting up the open-source platform on as many devices as possible, but I understand there are still some problems that prevent others from making the switch.

However, the switch does come with surprises that can catch you off guard, just like they did for me. § 5 Troubleshooting Issues Is Vastly Different If you're used to Windows' troubleshooter tools and overall point-and-click approach to troubleshooting, fixing issues in Linux will feel much different. Perhaps for the first time, you'll be forced to read through log files and command-line outputs to figure out what's going on. When something breaks in Linux, the system logs (generally found in /var/log/) will usually tell you exactly what went wrong and where. These error messages are also far more detailed than the confusing error codes that Windows throws at your face. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_didn't_like_ChromeOS_Flex,_and_I_prefer_this_Linux_distro_to revive_an_old_laptop⠀⇛ Not too long ago, my colleague Chandraveer Mathur wrote about how he preferred to ditch Windows for ChromeOS Flex over switching to a more typical Linux distribution. That article sparked a lot of... opposition in the comment section, and while I understand his position, I'm also on the other side of the fence on this topic. There are tons of Linux-based operating systems out there, and I would rather choose one of them than switch to ChromeOS Flex. Specifically, I recently went hands-on with Zorin OS, an Ubuntu-based distro that offers a few options for customizing your desktop out of the box, making it feel a bit more like Windows, while having some of the modern design elements of ChromeOS and other alternatives. Here's why Zorin OS is a great option for reviving your old PC. * ⚓ XDA ☛ 4_simple_things_I_did_to_customize_my_Linux_desktop⠀⇛ From their privacy-first design and secure roots to their resource-efficient nature, Linux distributions offer plenty of neat perks compared to Windows and macOS. That’s before you consider the endless customizability offered by Linux systems, with most general-purpose distros letting you modify practically every aspect of their UI, be it the desktop environment, dock, or even the terminal interface. That said, you don’t need to spend hours just to beautify your favorite distro. Sure, window managers (especially those of the tiling variety) and compositors can make even the most unimpressive distributions stand out. But there are just as many quick and easy ways to fine-tune the Linux interface to your liking. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_tried_this_secure_and_privacy-first_OS_that_runs_inside_a_VM⠀⇛ In an age where malware runs rampant and online privacy is hard to achieve, it’s a good idea to set up multiple levels of security on your daily driver. Although Windows is far from secure, certain operating systems are built specifically to provide top-notch security and privacy. There’s Tails OS, which relies on the Tor network and is meant to be run via a flash drive, while Qubes OS relies heavily on virtualization to offer greater security. Then there’s Whonix, which not only offers certain novelty features like the aforementioned distros, but also does something completely different. Rather than a dedicated operating system that requires barebones installation, Whonix is meant to be run inside a virtualized environment. As outlandish as it may sound, Whonix works surprisingly well, and here’s everything I’ve learned after experimenting with the quirky OS. * ⚓ XDA ☛ 5_operating_systems_that_can_revive_your_ancient_laptop⠀⇛ Tech obsolescence is a major issue for computing enthusiasts, as even the most expensive system you can buy today will be surpassed by new components in a few years' time. And then there’s the OS side of things, like Microsoft’s plans to cease updates for Windows 10 later this year. Luckily, there are plenty of cool operating systems out in the wild that are purposefully built to grant old PCs and laptops a new life. In fact, I’ve been testing different operating systems to revitalize my Lenovo G510 and Acer Predator Helios 300 laptops for the last couple of weeks, and here are the best ones I’ve found so far. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1556 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/Mozilla_Firefox_Meets_Mindless_Buzzwords_Users_Anger.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/Mozilla_Firefox_Meets_Mindless_Buzzwords_Users_Anger.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Mozilla: Firefox Meets Mindless Buzzwords, Users' Anger⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2025 * ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Who_does_Gen_Z_trust_outside_the_algorithm?⠀⇛ This essay was originally published on The Sidebar, Mozilla’s Substack. * ⚓ Mozilla ☛ It_doesn’t_have_to_be_like_this_—_join_Firefox_in #DailyDefiance⠀⇛ Where has the default got us?

NVIDIA 580 also implements a feature that reduces the time spent in the interrupt top half for low-latency display interrupts by deferring the work until later. This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled by loading nvidia.ko kernel module with the NVreg_RegistryDwords=RmEnableAggressiveVblank=1 parameter.

While Python is popular for data analysis, you might wonder why you might want to use Python instead of a spreadsheet like Excel, LibreOffice Calc, or Google Sheets. The main reason to use Python is that you get a lot more options than what's included in most spreadsheets. Spreadsheets are primarily designed for business and financial calculations.

It is not an official Debian release, but it is an official Debian GNU/Hurd port release. The installation ISO images can be downloaded from cdimage for i386 or cdimage for amd64 in the NETINST Debian flavor. Besides the friendly Debian installer, a pre-installed disk image is also available, making it even easier to try Debian GNU/Hurd.

When it comes to running your homelab, which of the two iconic operating systems are best? The answer is pretty clear, and it doesn’t lean in Microsoft’s favor. § Linux Runs a Majority of the Internet Well over 50% of the internet today runs on Linux. Depending on who you believe, some sources will say 57% of servers run Linux, while others will say around 63% run Linux. Regardless, more than half of the servers powering the internet use Linux as their operating system. * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ UnplugRed_ModMan,_a_free_perlin_noise_modulation_plugin_for_mac, Linux_and_Windows⠀⇛ UnplugRed ModMan is a free modulation plugin for macOS, Linux, and Windows that uses perlin noise for an organic touch.

Notice I said "rare." That doesn't mean I've gone all these years without an issue. In fact, I have had my desktop freeze up on me enough that I've had to lean on some tricks to reclaim it. Now, before I continue, I want to make one thing clear: when a Linux desktop freezes, 99.99999% of the time, it's not the kernel's fault. Typically, what causes the issue is a single app that, out of nowhere, consumes a majority of the system resources, causing the desktop to lock up. That app could be a web browser, a virtual machine manager, an image editor -- anything that uses memory. When that app goes on a memory-gobbling spree, it will either cause your desktop to react very slowly or not at all. I've had situations where the cursor still moves but cannot interact with the apps. What do you do? * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Physical_Aimbot_Shoots_For_Success_In_Valorant⠀⇛ Modern competitive games have a great deal of anti-cheat software working to make sure you can’t hack the games to get a competitive advantage. [Kamal Carter] decided to work around this by building a physical aimbot for popular FPS Valorant. o ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Google's_Steam_for_Chromebook_Experiment_Failed_After Just_4_Years⠀⇛ Chromebooks run ChromeOS, a Linux distribution based on Gentoo that Google has heavily modified for mainstream use. The kernel and underlying architecture remain close to Linux, but Google has stripped away most of the traditional desktop-related bits in favor of their web- centric approach. Many people prefer these devices over Linux or Windows- equipped devices due to hassle-free hardware support, tight integration with the Google ecosystem, and quick boot times. Sadly, there's some bad news for gamers on this platform, as an important app is set to join Google's Graveyard soon. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ SUSE_Adds_Arm_Support_to_HCI_Platform_for_Running Monolithic_Apps_on_Kubernetes⠀⇛ SUSE has generally made available an update to its platform for running monolithic applications designed for hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) environments on top of Kubernetes clusters that now supports both 64-bit Arm and defective chip maker Intel processors. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2718 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2025 * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o ⚓ Burkhard Stubert ☛ Running_Wayland_Clients_as_Non-Root_Users_– Burkhard_Stubert⠀⇛ Many embedded Linux systems use a Wayland compositor like Weston for window management. Qt applications act as Wayland clients. Weston composes the windows of the Qt applications into a single window and displays it on a screen. I still have to find a Yocto layer that does not start Qt applications as root. This violates the cybersecurity principle that every application should only run with the least privileges possible. Let us figure out how to run Qt applications as non-root users and make our system more secure. o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ GNOME ☛ Christian_Hergert:_Week_32_Status⠀⇛ ✐ Foundry⠀✐ This week was largely around getting the new template engine landed so it can be part of the 1.0 Hey Hi (AI) Basically just racing to get everything landed in time to commit to the API/ABI contract. FoundryTextBuffer gained some new type prerequisites to make it easier for writing applications against them. Since Foundry is a command line tool as well as a library, we don’t just use GtkTextBuffer since the CLI doesn’t even link against GTK. But it is abstracted in such a way that the GTK application would implement the FoundryTextBuffer interface with a derived GtkSourceBuffer. FoundryTextSettings has landed which provides a layered approach to text editor settings similar (but better) than we have currently in GNOME Builder. There is a new modeline implementation, editorconfig, and gsettings backed settings provider which apply in that order (with per-file overrides allowed at the tip). * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Random_hanging_with_6.12_kernel⠀⇛ Easy Excalibur is currently using the 6.12.41 kernel, but the problem is also with earlier versions, such as 6.12.36. Easy boots OK a few times, success gets to the desktop, but then at another bootup, just after login (as root), there is a freeze. o ⚓ Linux Magazine ☛ Upcoming_Changes_for_MXLinux⠀⇛ MXLinux 25 has plenty in store to please all types of users. o ⚓ Developer_Tools,_Hardware_Enablement,_and_Multitasking_Futures⠀⇛ Your monthly updates post is here! This month we have a couple of releases for our developer tools, plus plenty of improvements to Bluetooth, as well as a hardware enablement boost from Ubuntu and plenty to talk about in Early Access. Let’s dive in! The previously mentioned redesign of Bluetooth Settings has arrived! This redesign not only brings a bit more visual separation between paired devices and nearby devices, but also improves the keyboard navigation and screen reader experience. Plus, you can now double click rows to activate them. We resolved an issue where sometimes devices would be duplicated in the list and fixed issues when a pairing request requires entering passcodes—like with some keyboards. You’ll now also see fewer unnamed devices when discovering, enabling and disabling Bluetooth on devices that have been hardware locked should now work reliably, and to top it all off performance when listing lots of devices has also been improved. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2835 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/Ubuntu_Unstable_Linux_Kernel_Newsletter_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/12/Ubuntu_Unstable_Linux_Kernel_Newsletter_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu: “Unstable” Linux Kernel, Newsletter, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2025 * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_25.10_May_Ship_with_an_“Unstable”_Linux_Kernel⠀⇛ Ubuntu 25.10 may ship with a Linux 6.17 release candidate kernel due to timing conflicts, marking the first Ubuntu release with an "unstable" kernel. * ⚓ Ubuntu News ☛ Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_Issue_904⠀⇛ Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 904 for the week of August 3 – 9, 2025.

But if you’re as deeply integrated into the server landscape as I am, you’re probably excited about the updates added to another platform that relies on Debian. I’m talking about Proxmox, a FOSS virtualization environment that’s easily one of (if not the) best platforms for deploying containers and virtual machines on local hardware. For those out of the loop, Proxmox 9 was released earlier this week. While the shift to Debian 13 is the standout feature of the platform, the updated version of Proxmox includes a couple of noteworthy additions. Now that I’ve installed Proxmox 9 in my primary workstation, here’s a detailed log of all the steps I took, errors I solved, and new features I encountered in the latest version of the platform. * ⚓ XDA ☛ 4_reasons_Cloud-Init_is_the_best_Proxmox_feature_you're_not using⠀⇛ If you're using Proxmox to run virtual machines, you've probably seen the Cloud-Init tab and just ignored it. I did the same for a long time. It sounds like one of those things made for enterprise use or huge cloud deployments, not something for someone spinning up a few VMs at home. But once I gave it a shot, it quickly became one of the first things I set up after installing Proxmox. It’s a tool that automates the setup of your virtual machines when they boot up for the first time. You feed it a configuration file, and it takes care of everything: setting hostnames, creating user accounts, injecting SSH keys, assigning IP addresses, and much more. It's widely used in cloud platforms like AWS and Azure, but it works just as well in Proxmox with a few clicks. In Proxmox, using Cloud-Init is surprisingly simple. You create a template VM with a supported OS (Ubuntu Server works great), and you'll get a dedicated Cloud-Init tab where you can enter things like the default username, password, SSH key, and IP config. Once you hit start, the VM boots up with everything already in place, and it's great for a number of reasons. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Every_advanced_Proxmox_user_should_know_these_6_CLI_tools⠀⇛ Unlike VirtualBox, VMware Workstation Pro, and other Type- 2 hypervisors, you’ll typically set up virtualization platforms on a bare-metal system and use web UIs to access them from another device over a local network. Modern virtualization platforms like Proxmox have surprisingly robust web interfaces, to the point where you can essentially deploy all your server projects from their menu-driven UIs without ever using the terminal or an SSH connection to execute commands. That said, once you start tinkering with complex workloads involving multiple virtual guests deployed across a plethora of clusters, the barrage of menus inside the web UI starts to become ineffective for managing everything. That’s your cue to start using terminal commands, especially the ones involving these neat CLI utilities. * ⚓ XDA ☛ 7_mistakes_you_should_avoid_when_first_setting_up_Proxmox⠀⇛ Running a home lab is a fun and rewarding project that can enable all kinds of experiences in your home, and Proxmox is arguably the best way to do it, being a lightweight virtual environment that can run multiple services. I'm currently using it to host my own NAS alongside Home Assistant, and that's a fairly small project all things considered. Admittedly, I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to Proxmox, which means I've made my fair share of mistakes when trying to set it up. And if you're thinking of getting started with it too, you might also have the same risk. So, before you get started, here are a few things you should be wary of to avoid making your experience more difficult than it needs to be. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2991 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 28 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
