Don't settle for the timid Linux distributions that prioritize stability over everything else. Distros that pack the newest hardware support are all around if you know where to look. Possibly the most common gateway to the world of Linux is an old laptop that needs new life. While there are many Linux distributions that can do that, there's also a subset that promise something different: optimization for performance and support for the latest hardware. They typically give you updates to the kernel (where hardware support gets enabled) soon after or the very day they become available.

This should be familiar if you’re used to running something like VirtualBox. o ⚓ GNU ☛ libunistring_@_Savannah:_GNU_libunistring-1.4_released⠀⇛ Fixed a bug: The functions u*_grapheme_next and u*_grapheme_prev did not work right for strings with Indic characters, Emojis, or regional indicators. * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ TGS_2025:_Day_2_Report⠀⇛ The second day at the TGS always feels like a race. You know you need to cover this and that, and now you have a clear time bomb working against you. And to make things worse, this second business day was absolutely packed with people again. It’s almost hard to believe how many people managed to fit in there. The public days is worse, of course, and will make you fit like fish in a can. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ NTRON_Plays_Games,_Music⠀⇛ What do you get if you meld a Raspberry Pi, a chiptune synthesizer, and a case that looks like an imaginary Kenback-2000? Well, if you are [Artifextron], you get the NTRON. Part Nintendo console, part chip tune synthesizer, and part objet d’art.

September is almost over and time is flying by. But of course fall is the very best season, so we have that going for us. * § Mobile Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Google_to_merge_Android_and_ChromeOS_in_2026, because_AI⠀⇛ Chromebooks have helped Google to carve a niche in the laptop market, mostly with low-cost devices sold to schools for use by students. The search behemoth also created expensive and powerful Chromebooks. But with Google – along with everyone else in tech sphere – adding AI to everything, it's Android's time to shine, he said. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ Sean Conner ☛ Oh,_it's_a_bug_on_my_side_that_prevents_full conditional_requests⠀⇛ That rewrites the incoming If-None-Match header to work around the bug. Now maybe that whole conditional request thang with my webserver will now work properly. o ⚓ [Old] Diego Elio Pettenò ☛ Apache,_ETag_and_“Not_Modified”⠀⇛ The If-None-Match header in the request compares with the ETag header (Entity Tag) in the response coming from Apache. This header is generally considered opaque, and the client should have no insights in what it is meant to do. The server generally calculates its value based on either a checksum of the file (e.g. md5) or based on file size and last-modified time. On Apache HTTP Server, the FileETag directive is used to define which properties of the served files are used to generate the value provided in the response. The default that I’m using is MTime Size, which effectively means that changing the file in any way causes the ETag to change. The size part might actually be redundant here, since modification time is usually enough for my use cases, but this is the default… * § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ o ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ The_artificial_complexity_of_OOXML_files_ (the_XLSX_case)⠀⇛ The post, published on 18 July 2025, which explained why an artificially complex XML schema, such as that used by Abusive Monopolist Microsoft 365 (formerly Abusive Monopolist Microsoft Office) files, is in fact a subtle tool for locking in users because it is invisible and impossible to detect without in-depth study, was picked up by various IT media outlets. * § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ o § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ Omicron Limited ☛ New_framework_set_to_guide_data_reuse_of public_microbiome_data⠀⇛ The article, "A roadmap for equitable reuse of public microbiome data," published in Nature Microbiology, proposes easy-to-follow guidelines that promote equitable sequence data reuse. For microbiome scientists who rely on shared data, adaptation of these guidelines could remove a major roadblock, saving hours otherwise spent tracking down dataset owners. "Too often I'd find datasets that were valuable, but it would take me days to figure out who owned them," says Hug. "The idea is to integrate these standards into databases with a flag on the data, to ensure there's a clear connection back to the data owners." ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 684 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/28/GNU_Linux_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/28/GNU_Linux_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 28, 2025 * ⚓ Liliputing ☛ Lilbits:_A_laptop_with_a_192_Wh_battery,_Ubuntu_Touch,_and Amazon_readies_Vega_OS_for_Fire_TVs⠀⇛ Most modern laptops have 100 Wh or lower capacity batteries. And there’s a pretty good reason for that – not only are bigger batteries heavier, which would make laptops less portable. But you can’t take mobile devices with larger batteries on an airplane without special approval, which would also make a laptop with a larger battery less portable in a different way. But that hasn’t stopped Avenir Telecom from capitalizing on the fact that the company has the rights to sell products under the Energizer name by introducing an Energizer-branded notebook with a massive 192 Wh battery. * ⚓ Google_Prepares_Faster_Linux_Apps_on_Android_with_GPU_Support⠀⇛ Google is working on a big improvement for its Linux Terminal app on Android. The update will let graphical Linux apps run faster by using the device’s GPU instead of relying only on the CPU. Right now, Linux apps with graphical interfaces are slow and drain the battery quickly because they use CPU-based rendering. * ⚓ XDA ☛ 5_tools_that_make_my_Mac_feel_more_like_Linux [Ed: Could just use the real thing; it does not cost anything]⠀⇛ * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 3_Neat_Linux_Apps_to_Try_This_Weekend_(September_26_- 28)⠀⇛ Just installed Linux on an old PC and want to know how to you can make the most of it? Or maybe you want to do more in the terminal? I've gathered some free and open source software for Linux that's worth an install this weekend. With these recommendations, I try to include a mix of informational, practical, and entertaining applications. I install them and check that they're actively maintained by app developers. You don't want to be surprised by broken, outdated software, and all of these I've tested to at least make sure their core functionality is working. * ⚓ XDA ☛ After_Windows,_I_want_Raycast_to_come_to_Linux_next⠀⇛ I've talked about Raycast a few times already here on XDA. Since I discovered this app on my Mac Mini, it's been an absolutely game-changer, saving me time and frustrations with many of the tasks I need on a daily basis. Raycast was exclusive to macOS for a long time, but recently, a beta for Windows launched, and much like my colleague Adam Conway, I love it there too. But maybe I'm greedy, and now that I'd much rather use Linux than Windows 11, I can't help but ask for even more. Now that Raycast for Windows is starting to get ready for launch, I want it to come to Linux next. * § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ o ⚓ Attempt_to_run_Pycharm_on_Cosmic_DE_Beta1_as_second_DE_for_Arch GNU/Linux_KDE_Plasma_6.4.5⠀⇛  Setup Cosmic as second DE for KDE Plasma , reboot select COSMIC from drop-down SDDM menu  * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Meet_WebScreen:_A_Hackable_Secondary_Display_for Gamers_and_Creators⠀⇛ A customizable, open source monitor for delivering notifications, stats, and reminders. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Akademy_Presentation_on_Design_System_Progress⠀⇛ Hi again!

Well, the number of projects out there is nearly infinite. So, I’ve narrowed it down to just three for you to get up and running in a couple of days. Here are three Raspberry Pi projects to try out this weekend. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ This_Self-Hosted_File_Converter_Solved_My_WebP_Woes⠀⇛ The internet has taught me I can be sure of three things: death, taxes, and file upload fields that won't accept WebP images. I'm not aware of any self-hostable solutions to the first two problems, but the latter I was able to solve by running an open source service called ConvertX on my Raspberry Pi. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 5_Alternative_NAS_Operating_Systems_Worth_Trying⠀⇛ Are you looking for the perfect NAS operating system to run on your own hardware? There’s a number of options out there, including building your own NAS from scratch. However, you've also got several pre-built NAS-focused operating systems to choose from. These OSes take a lot of the guesswork out of configuration and get you right into setting up your storage server. Plus, most modern NAS operating systems integrate Docker, virtual machine management, and so much more—giving you an all-in-one solution for your storage and virtualization needs. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ How_I_Created_a_Detailed_Dashboard_for_All_of_My_Self- Hosted_Apps⠀⇛ Are you tired of trying to remember IPs and ports for your self-hosted apps? I finally figured out how to make my homelab easier to manage—a detailed dashboard of all my services. Having a dashboard for my self-hosted apps allows me to see detailed information at a glance as well as easily navigate to any service with just a few clicks.

Here's_How_to_Set_it_Up⠀⇛ Anything that can run the Linux terminal (which is pretty much anything with a CPU) can run a workspace like this. And because it doesn’t rely on a graphical desktop environment, it’s incredibly lightweight. For example, there’s a version of Tiny Core Linux that’s just 11 MB. You could flash that onto a USB stick, enable persistent storage, and now you have a portable office suite that you can take anywhere and plug into any machine that’ll boot from USB. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 7_Ways_to_Use_SSH_to_Turbocharge_Remote_Server Connections⠀⇛ A cool underrated feature of SSH is the ability to forward graphical applications over X11. You might think that SSH is just a way to use the command line remotely, but you can also run full-fledged GUI apps, albeit slower over the network than if you were sitting at the machine. This feature is known as "X forwarding." It's similar to how mail might be forwarded to another address. The machine is forwarding X apps from the main machine to your machine. This is something that has been a part of X11 from the beginning, albeit over telnet and XDMCP rather than SSH. SSH is more secure, and you should avoid the other protocols if possible. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Proxmox_hookscripts_are_the_best_automation_feature_you're_not using⠀⇛ Proxmox is an incredible tool for the home lab, enabling anyone to launch a feature-rich hypervisor for deploying various virtual machines (VMs) and Linux containers (LXCs) within isolated environments. What you may not know about are Proxmox hookscripts. Proxmox allows the creation of hookscripts to automate tasks during the lifecycle of a VM or LXC, effectively allowing you to automate just about anything when a virtualized environment changes state. These hookscripts can be defined and stored within a specific directory and referenced in config files for Proxmox to load. * ⚓ XDA ☛ 5_systemd_tweaks_that_really_boost_my_boot_time⠀⇛ Not every Linux user obsesses over how quickly their system boots, but I like seeing a fast and clean startup. Even with a solid-state drive, bottlenecks can sneak in and slow things down. Systemd provides a variety of tools that allow you to track where those delays are occurring and resolve them. With a bit of tuning, I was able to shave a noticeable amount of time off my boot process without sacrificing stability. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1017 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/28/Independent_Distro_KaOS_Linux_2025_09_Arrives_with_Linux_6_16_K.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/28/Independent_Distro_KaOS_Linux_2025_09_Arrives_with_Linux_6_16_K.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Independent Distro KaOS Linux 2025.09 Arrives with Linux 6.16, KDE Gear 25.08⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Sep 28, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇KaOS_Linux_2025.09⦈_ Powered by the latest and greatest Linux 6.16 kernel series, KaOS Linux 2025.09 ships with the KDE Plasma 6.4.5 desktop environment, which is accompanied by the latest KDE Gear 25.08.1 and KDE Frameworks 6.18 software suites, all built using the latest Qt 6.9.2 open-source application framework.

Linux 6.17 also introduces live patching on AArch64 (ARM 64-bit) systems, support for system-call tracepoints in User-Mode Linux kernels, BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) support for the LoongArch architecture, a new DAMON_STAT module that simplifies monitoring of memory-management activity, and initial support for proxy execution. Read_on Update (by Roy) Linus and LWN: * ⚓ Linux_6.17⠀⇛ No huge surprises this past week, so here we are, with kernel 6.17 pushed out and ready to go. Below is the shortlog for just the last week - not the full 6.17 release - as usual. It's not exciting, which is all good. I think the biggest patch in there is some locking fixes for some bluetooth races that could cause use-after-free situations. Whee - that's about as exciting as it gets. Other than that, there' the usual driver fixlets (GPU and networking dominate as usual, but "dominate" is still pretty small), there's some minor random other driver updates, some filesystem noise, and core kernel and mm. And some selftest updates. This obviously means that the merge window for 6.18 will open tomorrow, and I already have four dozen pull requests pending. Thanks to the proactive people - you know who you are. But before the merge window opens, there's still time for some final kicking of the tires of the newest release.

While Fingbox was a custom appliance based on Ubuntu Core, the new kit uses a Raspberry Pi, making it easier to set up and use in a home or small office network. The kit includes a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (2GB) in an aluminium case, a 32GB microSD card with Fing Agent preinstalled, a USB-C power supply with adapters, and a Cat 5e Ethernet cable. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1348 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/28/Open_Hardware_Modding_Router_Raspberry_Pi_and_RISC_V.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/28/Open_Hardware_Modding_Router_Raspberry_Pi_and_RISC_V.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: Router, Raspberry Pi, and RISC-V⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 28, 2025 * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ LUNYEE_4040_PRO_CNC_router_review_with_Candle_software⠀⇛ LUNYEE has sent us a review sample of the 4040 PRO CNC router, featuring a larger work volume than the LUNYEE 3018 Pro Ultra model we reviewed a few months ago. It is designed for milling and engraving tasks that demand high precision and features a robust structure to support continuous operation. It works with wood, plastic, and acrylic. Its standout feature is the complete set of accessories, such as the Probe system for Z- axis setup and a workpiece clamping kit, allowing users to get started right away. * ⚓ PC Mag ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Upgrades_Its_Keyboard-Mini_PC_With_the_500+ Model⠀⇛ “Each key rests on a Gateron KS-33 Blue switch with a custom RAL 7001 Silver Grey stem, giving a satisfying sound and feel when pressed,” he added. “For those of you who prefer taller (or just different) keys, Raspberry Pi 500+ is compatible with most aftermarket keycap sets.” * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Tiny_RISC-V_Development_Board_with_WCH_CH32V317WCU6 Available_from_$6.80⠀⇛ The board is powered by the WCH CH32V317WCU6, a RISC- V microcontroller capable of running at up to 144MHz. The chip features a USB 2.0 high-speed controller alongside a full-speed controller, a 10/100M Ethernet MAC with a physical layer transceiver, SDIO support, DVP for digital video input, and advanced motor PWM timers. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1402 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/28/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/28/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 28, 2025 * ⚓ Julian Andres Klode ☛ Dependency_Tries⠀⇛ As I was shopping groceries I had a shocking realization: The active dependencies and B over C (and A transitively over C). * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Ned Batchelder ☛ Hobby_Hilbert_Simplex⠀⇛ I saw a generative art piece I liked and wanted to learn how it was made.

The change is that the builtin new() function will be able to take an expression, not just a type. This change stems from the proposal in issue 45624, which dates back to 2021 (and earlier for earlier proposals). The new specifications language is covered in, for example, this comment on the issue. An example is in the current development documentation for the release notes, but it may not sound very compelling. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1473 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/28/Recent_GNU_Linux_and_Development_Picks.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/28/Recent_GNU_Linux_and_Development_Picks.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Recent GNU/Linux and Development Picks⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 28, 2025 * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2025-09-21_[Older]_Linux_Weekly_Roundup #3433⠀⇛ o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Make Tech Easier ☛ 2025-09-22_[Older]_Replace_the_Terminal with_These_Useful_GUI-Based_Alternatives⠀⇛ * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux On Mobile ☛ 2025-09-21_[Older]_Weekly_GNU-like_Mobile Linux_Update_(38/2025):_GNOME_49_and_a_new_phone_from FuriLabs⠀⇛ * § Development⠀➾ o § Programming⠀➾ # § Perl / Raku⠀➾ # ⚓ The Weekly Challenge ☛ 2025-09-24_[Older]_Unary Operator⠀⇛ # ⚓ Perl ☛ 2025-09-22_[Older]_Perl_in_a_Monorepo⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1531 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/28/Recent_GNU_Linux_Videos.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/28/Recent_GNU_Linux_Videos.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Recent GNU/Linux Videos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 28, 2025 * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-09-24_[Older]_Oreon_10_Core_2507_Quick_Overview⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-09-24_[Older]_Linux_Commands:_How_To_Use_"who"_And_"w" Commands⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-09-24_[Older]_GNOME_49_RELEASED:_Biggest_Linux_Desktop Shift_in_Years!_(THE_GREAT_APP_REFRESH)⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-09-24_[Older]_How_to_install_Q4OS_6.1⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-09-24_[Older]_Linux_History_Keeps_Repeating_Itself⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-09-24_[Older]_Maybe_Fedora_Linux_Was_Right_All_Along⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-09-23_[Older]_Your_Xorg_Will_Never_Do_This!⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-09-22_[Older]_A_Look_at_Anacron_|_Scheduling_Tasks_in Linux⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-09-22_[Older]_KDE_drama_&_giant_release_week_for Fedora,_Ubuntu_&_Plasma:_Linux_Weekly_news⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-09-22_[Older]_How_to_install_LibreCAD_on_Kubuntu 24.04⠀⇛ * ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2025-09-21_[Older]_How_to_install_LibreCAD_on Kubuntu_24.04⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-09-22_[Older]_How_to_install_OpenTTD_on_Kubuntu 24.04⠀⇛ * ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2025-09-17_[Older]_How_to_install_OpenTTD_on Kubuntu_24.04⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-09-21_[Older]_Custom_Functions_And_Keybindings_In_Doom Emacs⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-09-21_[Older]_Future_Of_BcacheFS_Outside_The_Linux Kernel⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-09-21_[Older]_These_handhelds_desperately_want_Linux⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-09-21_[Older]_Q4OS_6.1_overview_|_desktop_operating system.⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-09-21_[Older]_Arch_Linux_in_12_Minutes⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-09-19_[Older]_Master_AppImages_on_Linux:_Installation, Desktop_Integration_&_Pro_Tips⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1620 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/28/Recently_in_Fedora_Magazine.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/28/Recently_in_Fedora_Magazine.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Recently in Fedora Magazine⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 28, 2025 * ⚓ Fedora Magazine ☛ 2025-09-24_[Older]_Fedora_Magazine:_From_Zero_to_Web Server:_Building_with_Image_mode_for_Fedora_Linux_&_Caddy⠀⇛ * ⚓ Fedora Magazine ☛ 2025-09-22_[Older]_Fedora_Magazine:_How_to_rebase_to Fedora_Silverblue_43_Beta⠀⇛ * ⚓ Fedora Magazine ☛ 2025-09-19_[Older]_Fedora_Magazine:_Integrating_a uTrust_FIDO2_Security_Key_for_Full_Disk_Encryption,_Login,_and_Sudo Access_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1650 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/28/SysLinuxOS_13_Mate_released.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/28/SysLinuxOS_13_Mate_released.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ SysLinuxOS 13 Mate released⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 28, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇SysLinuxOS⦈_ SysLinuxOS 13 Mate released.

And I don’t just mean the UI either – practically every aspect of Linux distros, be it their bootloaders, init systems, and even kernel modules. I’ve often considered building my own Linux distribution from scratch, and there are tools designed specifically for the task. But with all my home lab experiments and DevOps projects, I’ve never found the time to mesh together a Linux distribution using complex CLI utilities. Luckily, I happened to stumble upon the Cubic repo by developer PJ- Singh-001 during yet another doomscrolling session on GitHub. As someone who dreaded putting together a custom Linux OS, Cubic helped me create a bootable distro filled with my favorite packages without costing me my sanity.

University of Toronto ☛ The_HTTP_Last-Modified_value_is_specific_to_the URL_(technically_so_is_the_ETag_value)⠀⇛ Last time around I wrote about how If-None-Match values (which come from ETag values) must come from the actual URL itself, not (for example) from another URL that you were at one point redirected to. In practice, this is only an issue of moderate concern for ETag/If-None-Match; you can usually make a conditional GET using an ETag from another URL and get away with it. This is very much an issue if you make the mistake of doing the same thing with an If-Modified-Since header based on another URL's Last-Modified header. This is because the Last- Modified header value isn't unique to a particular document, in a way that ETag values can often be. * ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ Drunk_CSS⠀⇛ These are a relatively simple set of CSS rules which you can apply to any site in order to simulate inebriation. * ⚓ Andy Bell ☛ A_workaround_for_using_custom_properties_in_media_queries⠀⇛ I’m a big fan of custom properties and I use them almost everywhere.
