While packages are treated quite similarly to software you can find and install on Windows, package management can be a significant hangup for new users of Linux because of things like dependencies, distro-specific quirks, and version control. Flatpak solves a lot of the gripes new users will have with Linux package management, and more. It's a universal app packaging format that runs across nearly every Linux distro, keeping software consistent, up-to-date, and most importantly: isolated.

Recently some new features have landed in Meson main, which make the experience quite a bit nicer. To demonstrate, I have updated the Platypus sample project to build and run on Android. The project itself aims demonstrate how you'd build a GUI application with shared native code on multiple platforms using native widget toolkits on each of them. Currently it supports GTK, Win32, Cocoa, WASM and Android. In addition to building the code it also generates native packages and installers. It would be nice if you could build full Android applications with just a toolchain directly from the command line. As you start looking into how Android builds work you realize that this is not really the way to go if you want to preserve your sanity. Google has tied app building very tightly into Android Studio. Thus the simple way is to build the native code with Meson, Java/Kotlin code with Android Studio and then merge the two together.

In a message posted to social media platform X, Commodore pitched its free Linux-based Vision 3.0 OS as a sanctuary for those left behind, calling it not just an upgrade, but a "reset." It also took a shot at Microsoft. There are plenty of those to go around, by the way. Ahead of Windows 10's EOL status, Consumer Reports pleaded with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to reconsider ending free support, saying the decision to do so poses a national security threat. "This decision will strand millions of consumers who have computers that are incompatible with Windows 11, and force them to pay $30 for a one-year extension of support, spend hundreds on a new Windows 11-capable computer, or do nothing and see the security and functionality of their computer degrade over time. This latter option is particularly problematic as it risks harming the consumer as well as co-opting the machine to perpetuate attacks against other entities, risking national security," the consumer advocacy group stated. * ⚓ Heading_to_Linux_now_Windows_10_is_no_more?_Commodore's_distro_has_'no nags'_and_'no_tracking'⠀⇛ Commodore is jumping on the bandwagon of trying to recruit Windows 10 leavers, now that Microsoft's OS has reached its End of Life. It's promoting Commodore OS Vision 3.0 as a privacy- focused, Linux-based alternative free from tracking and nags. Based on Debian, this modern OS includes Commodore BASIC V1 and 200 free games. It was the end of the road for Windows 10 support yesterday, but in terms of what to do next if you're running that operating system, one of the options you probably haven't considered is switching to a Commodore OS. * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ Ready_to_ditch_your_Windows_PC?_I_highly_recommend_this_mini_PC that's_optimized_for_Linux⠀⇛ Any chance I can get to review a Linux-powered PC, I'm thrilled to do so. It's not only because I get to experience how a third party approaches the OS, but also because it means there are more avenues for consumers to purchase Linux systems. If you've ever heard of Kubuntu, you know it's a spin on Ubuntu that focuses on the KDE Plasma desktop -- a brilliant desktop UI. Kubuntu Focus, on the other hand, is a company dedicated to selling laptops and desktops powered by the Kubuntu OS. After receiving the Kubuntu Focus NX Gen3, unboxing, and setting it up, I hit the power and watched as Kubuntu loaded. In seconds, I was greeted with the onboarding wizard. In stark contrast to any Windows PC I've reviewed, it took me less than two minutes to have the NX Gen3 up and running. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 368 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/16/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/16/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Oct 16, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇comics⦈_ * ⚓ mandown_-_comic_downloader_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Mandown is a comic downloader and a CBZ, EPUB, MOBI, and/or PDF converter. It also supports image post-processing to make them more readable on certain devices similarly to Kindle Comic Converter. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ YAFI_-_Yet_Another_Framework_Interface_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ YAFI is another GUI for the Framework Laptop Embedded Controller. It is written in Python with a GTK4 Adwaita theme, and uses the CrOS_EC_Python library to communicate with the EC. It has support for fan control, temperature monitoring, LED control, and battery limiting. This is free and open source software running under Linux and Windows. * ⚓ kotatsu-dl_-_cli_manga_downloader_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ kotatsu-dl is an easy-to-use cross-platform manga downloader with a lot of manga sources supported. * ⚓ Mending_Wall_-_fixes_common_problems_when_using_more_than_one_desktop environment_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ After installing, launch Mending Wall and enable one or both of the features Mend Themes and Tidy Menus. Both are recommended. Once enabled, it will start doing its work, and you can log in to a second desktop environment. If you have already logged in to a second desktop environment before running Mending Wall, so that your themes may be broken already, you will need to fix your themes manually through the settings of your desktop environment, but can enable Mending Wall to preserve those settings going forward. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ oval_-_CLI_for_(O)penAPI_Specification_document_(val)idation_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ oval is an OpenAPI Specification (OAS) document validator that was built to replace the CLI provided by swagger-tools. oval is built on top of sway, the successor to the API portion of swagger-tools, which provides extremely thorough OAS validation. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Survey_of_Image_Upscaling_Tools_on_the_ASRock_Industrial_NUC_BOX-255H_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ The plugin has limited functionality. Linux has lots of other software with upscaling functionality, some of which offers a wider range of features than the GIMP AI plugin. This article summarises my findings using Ubuntu 25.04. There is bound to be other open source upscaling software is available. Drop a comment below and I can expand on this survey.

There were multiple attempts in the past 6 years to cache flatpak-builder artifacts with Gitlab but none had worked so far. On the technical side of things, flatpak- builder relies heavily on extended_attributes (xattrs) on files to do cache validation. Using gitlab’s built-in cache or artifacts mechanisms results in a plain zip archive which strips all the attributes from the files, causing the cache to always be invalid once restored. Additionally the hardlinks/ symlinks in the cache break. One workaround for this is to always tar the directories and then manually extract them after they are restored. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Red_Hat_Hey_Hi_(AI)_3_targets_production inference_and_agents⠀⇛ IBM Corp. subsidiary Red Bait today announced Red Bait Hey Hi (AI) 3, calling it a major evolution of its hybrid cloud-native artificial intelligence that can power enterprise projects in production at scale.

This was confirmed through new Linux kernel updates. Intel’s Nova Lake CPUs are due to be released in late 2026, succeeding Panther Lake. This means that Intel’s Xe3P graphics architecture will launch next year, just one year after Xe3. Sadly, it remains unknown what will change between Xe3 and Xe3P. The “P” reportedly signifies “Plus” or “Performance”, suggesting that Xe3P will be more performant than Xe3. Currently, it is unknown what architectural advantages Xe3P might bring, if any. * ⚓ KitGuru ☛ Intel_begins_laying_the_groundwork_for_Xe3P_GPUs_on_Linux_| KitGuru⠀⇛ Just as the open-source drivers for Intel's Xe3 graphics devices are reaching maturity, the company's Linux development team is already gearing up for the next generation.

That centralized service means Google is in complete control of your searches. What if you could instead use a decentralized server that runs across many devices, each of which is private and not under the control of a single organization? That's YaCy. YaCy is a search tool you can deploy to your desktop or any computer on your home LAN that does not collect personalized data and is serious about privacy. YaCy has no "phoning home" integration and does not use cookies (although linked services may have cookies). * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ I_found_the_easiest_way_to_transfer_files_to_and_from_my_Linux PC_-_and_it's_so_fast⠀⇛ I work with multiple machines throughout my home, and I often have to move files to and from those machines. I typically use Samba for this, but sometimes, I just need to be able to quickly share a directory without having to install and configure Samba. When I'm in a hurry, I turn to a very easy app called QuickDAV. Essentially, QuickDAV starts an on-the-fly WebDAV server, so you can upload, download, and manage files on your remote machine. QuickDAV is incredibly simple and can be used right out of the box, with zero configuration. There are some settings you can change (such as the root folder, set the username and password, and set the folder to read only), but that's really about it. You don't even have to set a username and password, as QuickDAV defaults to the quickdav user and a randomly generated password. Once you start using QuickDAV, you'll find it indispensable for easy file transfers from any OS to Linux. * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ 5_ways_the_Linux_nmap_command_can_help_keep_your_network secure⠀⇛ The nmap command (short for network mapper) is a network exploration/security auditing tool that can rapidly scan networks to help you find out what hosts are available. With nmap, you can discover open ports and services, and even find out what operating systems are on your network. I've used nmap to find out what machines are on a network and what ports/services are open. If I find a port that shouldn't be open, I can close it to avoid security issues. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1563 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/16/Kernel_and_OS_Core_News_Linux_and_Beyond.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/16/Kernel_and_OS_Core_News_Linux_and_Beyond.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Kernel and OS Core News: Linux and Beyond⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 16, 2025 * ⚓ LWN ☛ 6.18_merge_window,_part_1⠀⇛ At the time of writing, there have been 9,099 commits in the 6.18 merge window, 8,475 non-merges and 624 merges. The changes so far include core-kernel, graphics, and networking work, among others. There are no big surprises, but several items that were discussed at this year's LFSMM+BPF Summit have now been merged. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Next_steps_for_BPF_support_in_the_GNU_toolchain⠀⇛ Support for BPF in the kernel has been tied to the LLVM toolchain since the advent of extended BPF. There has been a growing effort to add BPF support to the GNU toolchain as well, though. At the 2025 GNU Tools Cauldron, the developers involved got together with representatives of the kernel community to talk about the state of that work and what needs to happen next. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Kernel_hackers_at_Cauldron,_2025_edition⠀⇛ The GNU Tools Cauldron is almost entirely focused on user-space tools, but kernel developers need a solid toolchain too. In what appears to be a developing tradition (started in 2024), some kernel developers attended the 2025 Cauldron for the second year in a row to discuss their needs with the assembled toolchain developers. Topics covered in this year's gathering include Rust, better BPF type format (BTF) support, SFrame, and more. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Highlights_from_systemd_v258:_part_two⠀⇛ Systemd v258 was released on September 17 after more than nine months of development.

The team confirmed there won’t be licensing issues with the partnership, as this is an official collaboration where the OEM will provide official GrapheneOS support. According to GrapheneOS moderators on Reddit, they can likely obtain source code access to Snapdragon firmware and userspace components, though this isn’t a hard requirement for the initial device launch.

Since adding a graphical way to use and configure its private virtual network and related privacy tools on on Linux, the number of daily GNU/Linux devices using NordVPN has reportedly grown “by more than 70%”, the company says. Now, in an effort to ‘build on that momentum’, it’s decided to open-source the GNU/Linux GUI. The code is hosted on Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub, which offers build instructions and contribution guidelines. * ⚓ TechRadar ☛ NordVPN_just_made_its_Linux_GUI_app_open-source,_and there's_more_on_the_way⠀⇛ NordVPN has taken another step toward transparency by open- sourcing its Linux graphical user interface (GUI) app. This means that everyone can now view the code and find new ways to build upon it and customize it. The code is already public on GitHub. This refers to the entire codebase for NordVPN's graphical application, along with build instructions.

The cybersecurity company has made the graphical interface (GUI) of its Linux client fully open-source and integrated it into the Snap package, giving users a faster, more transparent way to install and update the VPN. The move follows the launch of NordVPN's Linux GUI earlier this year, which helped boost daily active users on Linux devices by more than 70 percent in just 100 days and put it on our list of the best Linux VPNs. By publishing the GUI's source code on GitHub, NordVPN says it's extending the same openness that defines the Linux ecosystem itself. The Register: * ⚓ NordVPN_open_sources_its_Linux_GUI_client_under_GPLv3⠀⇛ NordVPN has open sourced another of its Linux VPN client apps under the GPLv3. This time, it's the graphical user interface (GUI) version. The Lithuanian outfit has released the source code to version 4.2.0, which introduces the GUI client announced in May. This complements its existing shell-based client, the source code for which has been available since 2023. The GitHub repository isn't new. The company released the source code for its in-house Linux client back in 2023, just over two and a half years ago. At the same time, it also released the libtelio client code, which is a library for creating NordVPN's Meshnet encrypted peer-to-peer networks, for which the company has a detailed explainer. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1832 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/16/ONLYOFFICE_Docs_9_1_Introduces_Powerful_PDF_Redaction_New_Annot.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/16/ONLYOFFICE_Docs_9_1_Introduces_Powerful_PDF_Redaction_New_Annot.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ ONLYOFFICE Docs 9.1 Introduces Powerful PDF Redaction, New Annotations⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Oct 16, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇ONLYOFFICE_Docs_9.1_PDF_Editor⦈_ Quoting: ONLYOFFICE Docs 9.1 Introduces Powerful PDF Redaction, New Annotations — ONLYOFFICE Docs 9.1, an open-source and self-hosted office suite for documents, spreadsheets, presentations, fillable forms, PDFs, and diagrams, has officially landed.

Being fully compatible with previous 1.4.x, 1.2.x, and 1.0.x releases, the RC offers performance improvements and a ton of refinements under the hood. One of the biggest changes is a complete refactor of the link negotiation code.

Almost everything with a processor can run the 1993 shooter, but as it ages, this becomes less of a challenge. More modern games are starting to move into this position, and Factorio may be taking a leading position. [Point Substantial] has gotten this game to run on a mobile phone. The minimum system requirements for Factorio are enough to make this a challenge, especially compared to vintage title like DOOM. For Linux systems a dual-core processor and 8 GB of memory are needed, as well as something with at least 1 GB of VRAM. [Point_Substantial]’s Xiaomi Mi 9T almost meets these official minimum requirements, with the notable exception of RAM. This problem was solved by adding 6 GB of swap space to make up for the difference. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2148 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/16/Programming_Leftovers.1.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/16/Programming_Leftovers.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 16, 2025 * ⚓ Anton Zhiyanov ☛ High-precision_date/time_in_C⠀⇛ If you work with date and time in C, you might find vaqt useful. * ⚓ Michael's and Christian's blog ☛ Introducing_LightSHAP⠀⇛ LightSHAP is here – a new, lightweight SHAP implementation for tabular data.

Unfortunately, with the complexity of today’s processors and language runtimes, this would require a cycle-accurate simulator that needs to model everything, from the processor’s pipeline, over the cache hierarchy, to memory and storage. While there are simulators that do this kind of thing, they are generally too slow to simulate a full JVM with JIT compilation for any interesting program within a practical amount of time. This means that simulation is currently impractical, and it is impractical to determine what a ground truth would be. So, what other approaches might there be to determine whether a profile is accurate? o ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ Speed_of_random_number_generators_in_Go⠀⇛ We often need to generate random numbers in software. We need them for games, simulations, testing, and so forth. In many of these cases, we would like to use the fastest generator we can find, as long as it is reasonably random-looking.

Those changes could also impact code that uses unsafe Rust, such as the kernel's Rust bindings. Progress on the problem has been slow, but McKenney believes that a solution is near at hand. He began by noting that the obvious way to write an atomic last-in-first-out (LIFO) stack as a linked list in C or C++ invites undefined behavior. Specifically, it can end up creating a pointer that has a valid bit pattern, but an invalid provenance. Imagine that a thread wants to push an item (A) onto a stack; it reads the pointer to the current top of the stack (B), stores that into A's next field, and then uses an atomic compare-and-swap instruction to store the pointer to A as the new top item only if the top-of-stack pointer still points to B. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Julia_1.12_released⠀⇛ Version_1.12 of Julia has been released.

He gave a talk at Kangrejos 2025 covering upcoming Rust language features and thanking the Rust for Linux developers for helping drive them forward. Afterward, Benno Lossin and Xiangfei Ding went into more detail about their work on the three most important language features for kernel development: field projections, in-place initialization, and arbitrary self types. Many people have remarked that the development of new language features in Rust can be quite slow, Mandry said. Partly, that can be attributed to the care the Rust language team takes to avoid enshrining bad designs. But the biggest reason is ""alignment in attention"". The Rust project is driven by volunteers, which means that if there are not people focusing on pushing a given feature or group of related features forward, they languish. The Rust for Linux project has actually been really helpful for addressing that, Mandry explained, because it is something that a lot of people are excited about, and that focuses effort onto the few specific things that the Linux kernel needs. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2324 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/16/Proprietary_Software_in_Open_Clothing.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/16/Proprietary_Software_in_Open_Clothing.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Proprietary Software in 'Open' Clothing⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 16, 2025 * ⚓ Qt ☛ Qt_Design_Studio_4.8_Released⠀⇛ * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ VMware_Workstation_Pro_25H2_Released_with_New_Features [Ed: OMG!Proprietary]⠀⇛ VMware Workstation Pro 25H2 has been released with support for Virtual Hardware Version 22, better host OS compatibility, and a new command-line tool. * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ ONLYOFFICE_9.1_Released_With_More_Features_Etc⠀⇛ The free ONLYOFFICE productivity suite has been updated with a host of new features, including an improved PDF Editor.

Debian 13.0 "Trixie" appeared a couple of months ago, but as any seasoned IT industry veteran knows, it's always a good idea to wait for at least version point one. Debian 13.1 followed in early September, and now, some of the higher-profile distros downstream from Debian itself are starting to move across. One of the very first out of the gate was Crunchbangplusplus 13 back in August, but now some of the others are catching up. Raspberry Pi OS For some years now, the Raspberry Pi range of single-board computers has been the best-selling family of computers of all time. By its tenth birthday it had shifted some 46 million units, comfortably outdoing the estimated 12 to 30 million sales of the classic Commodore 64. From lurking in various Pi forums, the Reg FOSS desk has the strong impression that the majority of users run the stock Pi OS, and, at the start of this month, the latest Pi OS moved to the base of Debian 13.

On one side, there was the modern, agile Salesforce platform, the bank's system for point of sale. On the other, the Black Knight system, a business-critical, legacy application that handled all loan processing and governance. The 2 systems couldn't talk to each other, and with millions of records to process, the bank was facing a scalability crisis. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Automation_unlocks_5G's_full_potential:_One_New Zealand's_journey [Ed: Buzzwords and hype left, right, and centre]⠀⇛ Traditional manual processes simply cannot keep pace with the dynamic demands of modern networks. As network functions become increasingly containerized and cloud-native, the need for agile, consistent, and secure operations across hybrid and multicloud environments increases exponentially. Service providers want to invest in innovation to efficiently grow revenue, and automation is key to lowering costs and accelerating time to value on the journey to autonomous networks. Data and AI also deliver value across business and network aspects of telcos to mitigate risk, lower operational costs, and optimize resources. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Open_source_and_AI-assisted_development:_navigating the_legal_issues [Ed: IBM Red Hat is promoting slop and plagiarism]⠀⇛ This isn’t a comprehensive overview of every legal issue connected to AI.

One, we fixed our problem - the repo- sourced KeePass2 now opens with good scale, and it's usable on UHD screens. Two, I showed you several options on how to run the password manager, including the XC edition and the WINE setup, both of which scale nicely. Three, we explored Xpra and run_scaled, and these utilities offer excellent results. They also highlight the pointless tragedy that's the forced retirement of X11 tools, because the "modern" replacement has nothing of the kind. Most people probably don't care that much about old games and tools, but Linux folks should know better, especially with the whole mantra of reviving and rejuvenating "Windows" hardware with Linux. We tell people how they shouldn't throw away their Windows 10 boxes, right, but then we ax our own software support, rendering entire classes of awesome programs and games useless. Does not compute. To that end, regardless of what your goals and aims are, I'd recommend you keep at least one physical and one virtual Ubuntu 24.04 machine for posterity. If we're lucky, then 26.04 will still properly support X11, and you won't need to worry about Wayland nonsense until 2034 or 2036 or such. And you can always keep virtual machines running forever, so you can enjoy old games and esoteric programs. Anyway, Xpra is superb, and run_scaled is a nifty, clever implementation. Despite its age, it works, something that cannot be said about most modern software tools. With those words, I bid thee farewell. Oh, and may you enjoy KeePass, because it's better than any passkey nonsense. We're done here, then. Bye bye.

It is crafted with a strong focus on programming and development, providing a clean and efficient environment for developers. Earlier versions of TeaLinuxOS used Calamares as its default installer, known for its ease of use and graphical interface. As the project evolved to adopt the Arch base, the installation method was refined to embrace more flexibility and user control — aligning with Arch’s minimalist and DIY philosophy. TeaLinuxOS carries the philosophy: “Nikmatnya Sebuah Racikan”, which roughly translates to “The Delight of a Well-Crafted Blend”.

I'd been using Windows 95 and found myself more frustrated than not. I was experiencing constant blue screens of death, couldn't make the OS behave how I wanted, the software was expensive, and I hated the way it looked. So, I installed Linux over Windows, and the rest is history. I've been using Linux as my operating system of choice since then, and I haven't regretted it one bit. [...] This might be something you've not really considered during a time when everything seems to require an account. Microsoft is taking this one step further with Windows, as it has announced that it's removing the last remaining workaround for creating a local account during setup. What that means is, when you first set up Windows 11 Home, you must use a Microsoft account. On Windows 11 Pro, it's still the default, but you can easily bypass it with a workaround. To be clear, you can switch to a local account after setup is complete. You don't have to keep using a Microsoft account to sign in every time you want to log into Windows. Microsoft's own post specifies it's only removing known methods for creating a local account during the setup process (the OOBE phase), not after the OS is running. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3100 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/16/Today_in_Techrights.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/16/Today_in_Techrights.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Today in Techrights⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 16, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇1984_Nineteen_Eighty_Four_Graffiti⦈_ ⚓ Updated This Past Day⠀⇛ 1. ⚓ Attacks_on_Techrights_Are_Only_Making_Techrights_Bigger_and_Even_More Popular⠀⇛ A week ago they offered to settle with us ⚓ New⠀⇛ 2. ⚓ Links_15/10/2025:_Qantas_Airways_Loses_Control_of_Sensitive_Data_and Software_Patents_Are_Being_Thrown_Out⠀⇛ Links for the day 3. ⚓ Vista_10_is_'Dead',_Here's_Why_People_Should_Move_to_GNU/Linux_(or_the BSDs)⠀⇛ Today we try to make an outline of reasons move away from Windows to GNU/Linux 4. ⚓ Our_Sites_Continue_to_Improve⠀⇛ LLM slop has had no noticeable impact on us 5. ⚓ Gemini_Links_15/10/2025:_Neovim,_Helix_Compared_and_Gemlog.blue_Now Closed⠀⇛ Links for the day 6. ⚓ Links_15/10/2025:_Mass_Layoffs_at_Amazon,_OneDrive_Spyware_Revved_Up, More_'Gen_Z_Protests'⠀⇛ Links for the day 7. ⚓ The_EPO's_Staff_Engagement_Survey_2025_is_Already_Tainted_by Intimidation_by_EPO_Management_(Trying_to_Influence_Outcomes_by_Scaring Genuine,_Honest_Critics)⠀⇛ "[W]e have received reports that, following the previous survey, teams with negative responses were reproached or questioned about their answers..." 8. ⚓ The_DDoS_Attacks_by_Microsoft's_Scam_Altman_and_Other_Slop_Charlatans and_Frauds_is_Hurting_the_FSF,_Delinking_It_From_Copyleft_Projects⠀⇛ This impacts a lot more than access to the licences 9. ⚓ Microsoft_Scanning_Faces_in_Photos_People_Upload_to_Microsoft_(Even Unconsciously),_Slashdot_Turns_Report_About_It_Into_"Microsoft_Sez"_ (Says)⠀⇛ Or "let's repeat the lies from a PR person/Microsoft's publicist" 10. ⚓ [Teaser]_Angel_Aledo_Lopez_the_Manipulator_(Nepotism,_Poll_Rigging,_and Other_EPO_Corruption)⠀⇛ We'll discuss this later today or tomorrow, based on internal EPO material 11. ⚓ Epic_Metaphor_for_End_of_IBM:_"The_IBM_Demolition_is_Down_to_the_Last Shards!"⠀⇛ Nothing lasts forever 12. ⚓ Over_at_Tux_Machines...⠀⇛ GNU/Linux news for the past day 13. ⚓ IRC_Proceedings:_Tuesday,_October_14,_2025⠀⇛ IRC logs for Tuesday, October 14, 2025 14. ⚓ Proprietary_and_DRM_Prisons_Spiralling_Down_the_Sinkhole?_Not_Just Yet.⠀⇛ Let's hope that more people will flee to GNU/Linux 15. ⚓ The_European_Patent_Office_(EPO),_the_Second-Largest_Institution_in Europe,_is_Cracking_Down_on_Recreational_Activities⠀⇛ Without AMICALE activities, and as staff already says it's pressured to work more for less, how can the EPO recruit bright people? 16. ⚓ Transparency:_FSFE_financial_reports_exclude_speaker_fees_and expenses⠀⇛ Reprinted with permission from Daniel Pocock ========================================================================= The corresponding text-only bulletin for Wednesday contains all the text.

VMware’s vSAN and Pure Storage arrays delivered real innovation, but they came at the cost of rigid licensing and ongoing subscription pressure. As budgets tighten and organizations look for greater control, open solutions like Proxmox VE have become attractive as a virtualization layer. The remaining question is: what should back the storage? While Ceph often dominates the conversation in the Proxmox community, it isn’t always the best fit. For clusters that don’t run at hyperscale, ZFS provides a powerful, and often higher-performance, alternative. It combines filesystem and volume management in one coherent design, offering snapshots, replication, and self-healing — the same building blocks administrators rely on in enterprise platforms. This article explores how ZFS performs as a storage backend for Proxmox, where it stands relative to vSAN, Pure, and Ceph, and how Klara designs and implements ZFS-based architectures for customers migrating away from enterprise arrays. * ⚓ Scott Jehl ☛ For_Your_Convenience,_This_CSS_Will_Self-Destruct_|_Scott Jehl,_Web_Designer/Developer⠀⇛ The problem with this very-common pattern is that if JavaScript ever fails to load, or has a runtime error, or even just takes a very long time to finish loading, you run the risk of having content that is inaccessible to your user for a long time, or even permanently.

The full version of this issue is available here. * ⚓ LWN ☛ A_look_at_the_Robot_Operating_System⠀⇛ The official mascot of ROS is the turtle; as such, ROS 2 releases are made annually on World Turtle Day on May 23. Releases in odd-numbered years have 18 months of support, while releases in even-numbered years have five years of support. The project uses a naming scheme similar to Ubuntu's; each release has a code name that is an adjective followed by a noun. For instance, the 2024 release of ROS 2 is named Jazzy Jalisco and will be supported through 2029, while the 2025 release is named Kilted Kaiju and will be supported until December 2026. This support period aligns with the Ubuntu LTS release schedule; Ubuntu is the recommended platform to use to develop applications with ROS 2, though others are also supported. Releases are almost always referred to by their adjective name, such as Kilted. A ROS 2 release consists of the release-critical core packages plus thousands of extra packages provided by the larger community; together this is called a ROS distribution. The core contains the SDK for both C++ and Python, basic communication mechanisms, common structures for collecting and exchanging data (called messages), command-line debugging tools, tools for recording and playing back data, visualization tools, tracing tools, and examples. Packages from the community include SDKs for other languages (like C, Rust, and Java), messages that aren't common enough for the core, hardware drivers, additional debugging tools, experimental tools/drivers/capabilities, and anything else that the community thinks would be helpful to other robotics developers. Each ROS distribution has a YAML file which lists all packages available; for instance, the Kilted YAML file is available on GitHub. Developers are encouraged to add their own packages to that list, which members of the ROS PMC will review for relevance to ROS and merge. A platform in ROS terms is a combination of an operating system and hardware architecture; for example, Ubuntu Noble on x86-64 is a supported platform, as is Ubuntu Noble on arm64, or Windows 10 on x86-64. Each ROS 2 release defines its supported platforms in a document called REP-2000, which is updated periodically for new releases. A release may be delivered on a platform via Debian packages, RPMs, binary tarballs, or from source. It is often possible to build from source if a platform is not officially supported. The ROS developer documentation site has installation guides and tutorials for each release. * ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Why_Broadcom’s_Ubuntu_Bet_on_VMware_Will_Delight_Devs and_Ops⠀⇛ It’s not often a vendor makes a choice that delights both the developer and operations sides of the house. But Broadcom’s decision to integrate Canonical Ubuntu directly into VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) will likely solve several pain points for both communities when it comes to cloud native. For those who want to continue to rely on Photon OS (already available by default), Broadcom is expanding the choice for platform engineers and developers with Ubuntu OS. Developers working with VCF should appreciate direct access to a favorite Linux distribution fully maintained by Canonical, and which Broadcom supports. Integrating Linux drivers, managing updates and other operations jobs are not what developers and admins want to spend time on. Indeed, developers devote an estimated full workday per week to such operational tasks, according to a 2024 survey by Atlassian. * ⚓ Dolphin Publications B V ☛ Ubuntu_25.10_Questing_Quokka_is_available⠀⇛ Ubuntu 25.10 ‘Questing Quokka’ brings new security tools to the Linux desktop. The distribution is the first to use Rust-based implementations of sudo and coreutils by default, while TPM- backed full disk encryption provides additional protection. Ubuntu 25.10 introduces experimental support for TPM-backed Full Disk Encryption. This technology uses the Trusted Platform Module chip to store cryptographic keys for hard disk encryption. The system makes data completely inaccessible without the correct key during boot. The implementation provides support for password management, recovery key regeneration, and better integration with firmware updates. Canonical warns that the feature is not yet suitable for production environments, but users with a security background can already test the technology. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3660 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/16/Videos_and_Shows_About_GNU_Linux_and_Free_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/16/Videos_and_Shows_About_GNU_Linux_and_Free_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Videos and Shows About GNU/Linux and Free Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 16, 2025 * ⚓ 2025-10-14_[Older]_SparkyLinux_"KDE"_8.0_Quick_Overview⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-14_[Older]_Do_not_install_Ubuntu_25.10_on_your_Steam_Deck.⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-14_[Older]_How_to_install_openSUSE_16.0_Leap.⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-14_[Older]_The_Framework/Omarchy_thing.⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-14_[Older]_What_Beginner_Linux_Distro_Should_You_Use?⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-13_[Older]_The_KDE_Plasma_Is_Outdated_Argument_Never_Ends⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-12_[Older]_Switch_to_RSS_for_your_online_media!⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-12_[Older]_Intel_changes_stance_on_Open_Source,_LibrePhone project:_Linux_Weekly_News⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-12_[Older]_Omarchy_Is_Beautiful,_Modern_and_Opinionated⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-12_[Older]_How_to_install_New_Club_Penguin_on_Kubuntu_24.04⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-11_[Older]_How_to_install_New_Club_Penguin_on_Kubuntu_24.04⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-12_[Older]_Unleash_the_Awesome_Power_of_SSH⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-11_[Older]_FZF_-_The_Command-Line_Tool_Every_Linux_User_Needs!_ (But_Doesn't_Know_About)⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-11_[Older]_This_Web_Server_Is_100%_Solar_Powered⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-11_[Older]_openSUSE_16.0_Leap_overview_|_The_makers'_choice_for sysadmins,_developers_and_desktop_users.⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-10_[Older]_Ubuntu_25.10:_these_are_some_big,_deep_changes!⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-10_[Older]_How_Is_This_Git_Commit_50_Years_Old???⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-09_[Older]_What_The_Hell_Is_Omarchy_Linux_3.0⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-09_[Older]_“apt_update_&&_apt_upgrade"_Needs_to_Go._Here’s Why!⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-07_[Older]_How_to_install_Microsoft_Fonts_on_Kubuntu_24.04⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-08_[Older]_How_to_install_Microsoft_Fonts_on_Kubuntu_24.04⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2025-10-08_[Older]_Install_and_Configure_ThinLinc_Cluster_on_Linux_- Full_Guide⠀⇛ ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 3751 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 45 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
