The FreeBSD scene alone has a couple of noteworthy options, with GhostBSD being so well-developed that I wouldn’t mind using it as my daily driver. On the other side of the utility spectrum are operating systems designed by smaller developer teams. Haiku OS and SerenityOS are the more popular of the bunch, and bring some rock-solid features to the table. As Windows 10’s discontinuation date inches closer, the alternative OS ecosystem has started to come to light. But as much as I adore them, I can’t really recommend normal users to use them, especially if you’re looking for something that can replace Microsoft’s uber-popular last-gen OS. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 6_BSDs_Worth_Trying_Instead_of_Linux⠀⇛ When you think of open-source OSes, you might think of Linux distros, but BSD-based systems have been around for a long time. Here are some of the best BSD systems that you can try that can give Linux distros a run for their money. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿

an Intel Core i5- 13500H mini PC - CNX Software — We’ve already checked out the hardware of the Beelink EQi13 Pro in the first part of the review, and followed up with a detailed review of the Intel Core i5-13500H mini PC running Windows 11 Pro. We’ve now taken the time to test the Beelink EQi13 Pro with Ubuntu 24.04 to find out how well (or not) it performs on Linux. We will specifically report our experience testing features, running benchmarks, checking out the SSD and USB ports, evaluating Gigabit Ethernet and WiFi 6 networking performance, and finally stress testing the mini PC, before measuring the fan noise and power consumption of the mini PC under Linux.

But instead it has unique features like Insights, and Collections. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ 11_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Zsh_Plugin_Managers_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Zsh is a powerful Unix shell that can be used as an interactive login shell and as a command interpreter for shell scripting. Zsh has many strengths such as interactive tab completion, regex integration, automated file searching, advanced shorthand for defining command scope, and a very rich theme engine. This article focuses on Zsh plugin managers. This type of software is targeted at individuals who prefer not using defaults. They wish to start with a blank configuration and configure everything manually. Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion here. * ⚓ FileGator_-_powerful_multi-user_file_manager_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ FileGator has multi-user support so you can have admins and other users managing files with different access permissions, roles and home folders. All basic file operations are supported: copy, move, rename, edit, create, delete, preview, zip, unzip, download, upload. If allowed, users can download multiple files or folders at once.

I know how challenging it is to sift through all the software Linux repos have on offer, but these I think are worth a look. This weekend I have a loose focus on file management. Maybe it's because I just reviewed a Synology DS425+ NAS and was working with file hosting services on it. Maybe it's because managing files is a timeless activity on computers and a task you're going to have to face at some point. It can also be a lot of fun, if you like organizing and sharing data like I do. * ⚓ XDA ☛ WinApps_could_put_an_end_to_using_full_Windows_on_my_PC_(with some_work)⠀⇛ It's only been a couple of months since I first gave Linux a serious shot on one of my PCs, and since then, I've quickly grown into a big fan of it. These days, I would rather spend more time in Linux than on Windows, but of course, there are some things that make this impossible. Missing apps like Adobe Lightroom is a significant problem, and for many people, the same sentiment applies to something like Microsoft Office. Enter WinApps, a project I recently heard about from a friend. The purpose of WinApps is kind of akin to using GUI Linux on Windows through WSL, but reversed. With it, you can run Windows apps on Linux as if they were naturally part of the operating system. It's a fantastic idea that could mean you don't ever need to use Windows again, though it's going to take some work. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ This_Open-Source_App_Is_My_Favorite_Way_to_Backup_My_Linux PC⠀⇛ Good backups are an essential thing in the modern digital era, when so much of our lives revolves around computers, phones, and the internet. Here is how I back up my Linux laptop to make sure I don't lose anything important. § Organization Makes Good Backups Easy Before I worried about exactly how I was going to handle backing up my PC, the first and most important thing was to get everything organized. I don't need a complete image of my operating system---I can always reinstall programs. What is really important are files: tax documents, important work documents, things like that. I'd recommend sorting your important files into only a few folders that don't have a lot of extra stuff. If you're paying for cloud storage, you don't want to eat up space by unnecessarily backing up your entire downloads folder. In my case, I packed everything into one folder I named Sync, then created three subfolders named Backup Pictures, Backup Documents, and Backup Downloads respectively. That way, all I need to do is point my backup software at the Sync folder and all of the sub-files and folders get backed up automatically. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣭⡉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠿⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣷⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣚⣂⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 913 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/07/GNU_Linux_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/07/GNU_Linux_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 07, 2025 * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Graphics Stack⠀➾ # ⚓ Mike_Blumenkrantz:_Mesh_Shader_Progress⠀⇛ o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ LHB_GNU/Linux_Digest_#25.25:_tmux, ripgrep,_Intro_to_GNU/Linux_Command_Line,_Redis_Alternative and_More⠀⇛ RIP Grep # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ HandBrake_1.10.2_Fixes_High_Depth_Video_Crash and_Updates_AV1_Libraries⠀⇛ HandBrake 1.10.2, an open-source video transcoder, brings fixes for backdoored Windows and macOS, including better driver handling, Fashion Company Apple Silicon crash workaround, and more. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Michael Urspringer ☛ Debian_Linux:_Force_Reboot⠀⇛ On a Debian GNU/Linux machine I had the problem, that a reboot was no longer possible.

It's already a lot of work to install an operating system on a computer, but I also have to create the flash drive I use to install it. It can become tedious, but thankfully, there's a way to make things easier. Ventoy is a tool you may have heard of, and for good reason. It lets you use the same USB drive to boot multiple operating systems, making it easy to test them out quickly and with far less downtime. Here's why it's so great. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Why_I_Stopped_Flashing_USB_Drives_and_Use_Ventoy_Instead⠀⇛ If you’ve ever booted Windows or tested a Linux distro from USB, you know the routine: grab an ISO, run Rufus or Etcher, format, write, wait. A week later, want to try another distro? Back to square one. That cycle often made me put off exploring new distros. Then I found Ventoy, and I haven't looked back. § The Problem With Bootable USBs For a while, flashing USB drives worked fine for me, but once I started testing multiple Linux distros and experimenting more, that’s when the problems became clear. ⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣤⣶⡿ ⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠀⠀⠈⠉⠹⣿⣿⡟⠉⢻⡄⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶ ⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣤⡀⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠱⠀⠀⠈⢿⡏⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡹⣷⣄⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣷⣆⣐⣿⣏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣏⠙⣿⡙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣏⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡌⠛⢷⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣾⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣷⣄⡀⢻⣷⣽⣿⣄⢾⡙⠋⠛⠋⠀⠀⠈⠛⠷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠙⠃⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣀⠈⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⢿⣎⢻⣿⡿⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⡛⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠋⠁⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⡹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣅⠘⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢄⡒⠚⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠗⠈⢩⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣽⣿⣿⣾⣿⣷⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⠶⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠋⠉⠑⢲⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠾⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢛⣉⣭⣵⣶⣿⣷⣤⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⢠⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠈⣜⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠈⢿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣶⣤⡈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⢂⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣛⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠼⣌⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣶⣶⣿⣷⣄⡀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⡘⣷⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣄⣶⣶⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⣤⣙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠰⠁⠹⢃⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠘⡘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⢤⣄⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1283 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/07/I_Tested_9_Ubuntu_Based_Linux_Distros_Here_s_How_I_Rank_Them.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/07/I_Tested_9_Ubuntu_Based_Linux_Distros_Here_s_How_I_Rank_Them.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ I Tested 9 Ubuntu-Based Linux Distros, Here's How I Rank Them⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 07, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Ubuntu⦈_ Quoting: I Tested 9 Ubuntu-Based Linux Distros, Here's How I Rank Them — Are you feeling confused by all the different Ubuntu-based distributions?

Well, I tested 9 popular Ubuntu-based Linux distros, and here’s how I’d rank them from the not-so-good to better-than-Ubuntu-itself! Ubuntu is by far the most popular Linux distro to the point that its name is synonymous with Linux itself. It offers a stable and reliable user experience while being compatible with all the popular apps and packages. Many developers and communities have taken this successful core and built different flavors of Ubuntu (official and unofficial).

This marks the project’s long-awaited entry into immutable Linux space. If you’re a little confused because you think of KDE as a desktop environment — or that its Linux distro is Neon — I’ll explain it to you. KDE e.V., the Berlin-based nonprofit in charge of KDE is most well known for its eponymous Linux desktop environment, as well as its related software stack, which it’s been developing and maintaining for nearly 30 years. In addition, since 2016 the organization has also released KDE Neon, an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution purposed to showcase KDE and serve as a benchmark for other KDE-based distros.

If you are not familiar with it, LKRG is a kernel module that acts as a security layer for the Linux kernel. Its main job is to monitor the kernel while it’s running and catch anything that looks suspicious or unsafe. For example, if an attacker tries to exploit a kernel vulnerability by overwriting kernel credentials or altering kernel memory, LKRG can detect that behavior. When it finds something abnormal, it can log it, kill the offending process, or take other defensive measures depending on its configuration.

Marijke Luttekes has a brilliant post that inspired this one where she goes more in-depth into the differences and when to use which. You should check that out as I won’t go that deep into the matter in this post, I just want to share good starting points for learning more. * ⚓ Paul Tarvydas ☛ Type_Checking_is_a_Symptom,_Not_a_Solution⠀⇛ But step back and ask a simple question: Why do we need type checking at all? The standard answer is scale. “Small programs don’t need types,” the reasoning goes, “but large programs become unmaintainable without them.” This sounds reasonable until you realize what we’re actually admitting: that we’ve designed our systems to be inherently incomprehensible to human reasoning. We’ve created architectures so tangled, so dependent on invisible connections and implicit behaviors, that we need automated tools just to verify that our programs won’t crash in obvious ways. Type checking, in other words, is not a solution to complexity—it’s a confession that we’ve created unnecessary complexity in the first place. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1776 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/07/SuperTuxKart_1_5_rc2_and_GNU_Linux_Gaming_Distro_That_Uses_SD_C.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/07/SuperTuxKart_1_5_rc2_and_GNU_Linux_Gaming_Distro_That_Uses_SD_C.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ SuperTuxKart 1.5-rc2 and GNU/Linux Gaming Distro That Uses SD Cards⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 07, 2025 * ⚓ SuperTuxKart_1.5-rc2_released,_new_Forum,_and_more !⠀⇛ The SuperTuxKart team is glad to announce that the resources we feared might be lost have now been successfully transferred.

What started off as niche projects has evolved into a thriving ecosystem where classic gaming experiences are being revived and relived. This has given birth to many Linux distributions designed specifically for retro gaming. Projects like Batocera.linux, RetroPie, and Lakka have made it easier than ever to transform any computer into a dedicated retro gaming machine. Now, a new player has entered the scene with a radically different approach. Rather than focusing solely on emulation or modern digital distribution (e.g., via Steam), Kazeta aims to recreate the pure simplicity of 1990s console gaming. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1834 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/07/Today_in_Techrights.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/07/Today_in_Techrights.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Today in Techrights⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 07, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Beautiful_sunset_with_Ship,_Durdle_Door,_United_Kingdom⦈_ ⚓ Updated This Past Day⠀⇛ 1. ⚓ The_Register_Bill⠀⇛ The Register MS - putting the "MS" in your centre of the universe ⚓ New⠀⇛ 2. ⚓ Microsoft_Sites_Now_Talking_About_September's_Mass_Layoffs_at Microsoft⠀⇛ It's noteworthy that even Microsoft's MSN now covers the latest revelations about mass layoffs 3. ⚓ Gemini_Links_06/09/2025:_SpellBinding_Moving_and_"The_Cloud" Ridiculed⠀⇛ Links for the day 4. ⚓ Slopwatch:_On_"the_Apology_Industry",_Chatbots_(Punchbag_for Customers),_and_Fake_Articles_About_"Linux"⠀⇛ "news reporting priorities changed" 5. ⚓ Links_06/09/2025:_"Covid_Incidence_on_the_Rise"_and_Many_Attacks_on_the Press_Worldwide⠀⇛ Links for the day 6. ⚓ Nobody_Denies_That_SecureBoot_Will_Cause_Problems_After_September_11⠀⇛ Not even Microsoft 7. ⚓ Gemini_Links_06/09/2025:_Infinite_Scrolling_and_Posting_from_Emacs⠀⇛ Links for the day 8. ⚓ Links_06/09/2025:_GitHub_Meltdown_Over_Slop,_"U.S._Jury_Says_Google Should_Pay_$425_Million_in_Privacy_Lawsuit"⠀⇛ Links for the day 9. ⚓ Despite_Its_Severe_Financial_Problems_Gnome_Foundation_Inc_Paid_Rosanna Yuen_Over_100,000_Dollars_Last_Year⠀⇛ maybe relocation should be considered 10. ⚓ The_"Left"_and_the_Right"⠀⇛ It poisons everything 11. ⚓ Mozilla_and_Rust_Are_Not_Leftists⠀⇛ they're part of the mass consumerism machine 12. ⚓ Disposable_to_Microsoft⠀⇛ There is an extensive set of people who got used by Microsoft, only to be thrown away a month later or a year later or a decade later 13. ⚓ The_UEFI_9/11_-_Part_VII_-_This_Coming_Week_Many_PCs_Will_Refuse_to Boot_"Linux"_(Because_of_Microsoft's_Expired_Certificate)⠀⇛ The real solution is, disable "secure boot" or "SecureBoot" while it's still possible.

That said, enabling root privileges for certain actions can seem rather tedious, especially when you’re in the middle of setting up a complicated app. If you’re an average user who leverages their Linux machine for everyday tasks, you might be tempted to simplify your experience by enabling root privileges for every operation. As someone who has traveled the bug-riddled Linux road countless times, let me tell you that invoking root-level access for all actions is a terrible idea, both from a malware standpoint and for the overall stability of your system. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2148 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/07/What_Is_GhostBSD_and_Should_You_Use_It_on_Your_PC.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/07/What_Is_GhostBSD_and_Should_You_Use_It_on_Your_PC.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ What Is GhostBSD, and Should You Use It on Your PC?⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 07, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GhostBSD⦈_ If you've wanted to try FreeBSD, but have been put off by its supposed difficulty or lack of a standard live version, GhostBSD tries to fill that gap with a live environment with a slick interface.

In reality, a bootable USB can be much more than just a recovery stick. With the right tools baked in, it can act as a portable workstation, a rescue kit, or even a secure browsing environment. Whether you’re a tinkerer or just want to be prepared, there’s a lot of untapped potential waiting inside that little drive. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ XDA ☛ 5_Linux_tweaks_that_instantly_made_my_system lightning_fast⠀⇛ If you’ve used Linux for a while, you know it can be incredibly fast out of the box. Still, there are always adjustments that can squeeze out extra performance, especially on older hardware or systems with limited resources. The best part is that many of these tweaks are simple to implement and have immediate results. Here are five changes I made that noticeably improved the speed and responsiveness of my Linux setup. # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 6_Ways_to_Use_the_Linux_cat_Command⠀⇛ One of the most available day-to-day Linux commands is cat, a simple tool for viewing files. Or is it? It turns out, there’s a lot more to cat than you may realize. From the basic to the sublime, here are some of the many ways you can use cat. § 1 Combining Several Files I’ll start here, even though it’s probably not the most common use for cat, because the tool’s original purpose was to concatenate files. That “cat” in the middle of “concatenate” is where the name comes from. If you’re unfamiliar with this term, it means “to join together,” so cat is all about joining files. o § WINE or Emulation⠀➾ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Proton_vs._Proton_GE:_What’s_the_Difference and_Which_One_Should_You_Use?⠀⇛ Linux gamers are familiar with Proton, the go-to solution for running Windows games on Linux, but there’s another, similar tool in the shed. It’s called Proton GE, and while it performs the same function, it differs from Valve’s Proton. Let’s find out how they differ and which one you should use. § Proton Is a Compatibility Layer for Windows Games on Linux Now, while Linux and Windows can run on the same hardware, they’re wildly different beasts software- wise. For instance, you can use both Linux and Windows on the exact same machine made of precisely the same components. However, try running a game designed for Windows on the same PC that runs Linux, and you’re going to have a bad time. This is where Proton comes to the rescue. o § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ XDA ☛ KDE's_window_manager_learned_from_Microsoft... before_Windows_did⠀⇛ Before I moved away from Windows as my primary operating system, I fell in love with a tool called FancyZones. It's included in Microsoft's PowerToys suite, and if it's not clear, Microsoft also makes Windows 11. So, I always kind of wished that FancyZones would someday be implemented directly in Windows, and even wrote about that exact wish. I've also written about how I had to find alternatives to FancyZones when switching to other platforms, such as MacsyZones on macOS and the Tiling Shell extension for GNOME when I used Ubuntu. What I didn't realize was that, for some time now, there's been a Linux desktop environment that has FancyZones-like functionality built right in. KDE Plasma, the desktop environment I'm using on top of Arch Linux, comes with a window manager that takes the best of FancyZones — and reminds me that Microsoft should have done this a long time ago. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Why_I_Won’t_Use_a_Linux_Distro_Without_Flatpak Support⠀⇛ Trying a new Linux distribution can be exciting, but I’ve learned that one missing feature can turn the whole experience sour. For me, that dealbreaker is simple: if a distro doesn’t support Flatpak, I won’t bother installing it. § The Limits of Traditional Package Managers Most Linux distributions rely on their own package managers and repositories. While this works in many cases, it comes with some frustrating limitations. Dependency conflicts can leave you stuck when two programs need different versions of the same library. Some apps never make it into official repos at all, and when they do, the versions can lag behind what the developers actually release. Worst of all, every distribution handles packages differently, which makes switching distros more complicated than it needs to be. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ How_to_Use_Libraries_in_Python_to_Do More_With_Less_Code⠀⇛ As with other programming languages, Python has libraries to make coding tasks easier. Here's how you can take advantage of them, and how you can create your own libraries as well. § What Are Python Libraries? Libraries are collections of shared code. They're common in Python, where they're also called "modules," but they're also ubiquitous across other programming languages. A library defines functions that any programmer can use in their own programs, similar to how a public library offers anyone access to its materials. The advantage of using libraries is that you can save time and effort by not having to code your own solutions. Libraries tend to be better tested and debugged than anything you could come up with. They will also let you do more than you could on your own. There are numerous libraries in Python for tasks such as graphics, game development, and more. My favorite libraries tend to be for data analysis. Python is especially popular for statistics and data science due to the large number of libraries available for these tasks. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ The_Best_VPNs_for_Linux_in_2025 [Ed: Probably, at least in part, referral spam]⠀⇛ If you’re a Linux user, you’ll quickly find that many big-name VPNs don’t cater to you. These five VPN services offer solid clients for Linux users that will keep you safe and private while online. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2452 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 23 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
