Started in 2003 by the Turkish National Research Institute of Electronics and Cryptology under the watchful eye of the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, the first live CD version was a fork of Gentoo Linux in 2005. Over time, Pardus evolved from a government-sponsored project into a community-driven distribution. Fast-forward to today, when we’re taking Pardus 25.0 Bilge — “bilge” being Turkish for “wise” — for a spin. Read_on Also: * ⚓ Turkey's_Pardus_Shows_What_an_EU_Linux_Could_Be_-_If_Brussels_Really Means_It_-_FOSS_Force⠀⇛ As much of Europe makes moves to develop something that qualifies as “EuroLinux” — along with a stack of office and public facing software to run on it — they might be advised to take a hard look at would‑be EU member Turkey’s efforts. The country’s Pardus project appears to be much more successful than other better known EU projects. Some in Brussels, of course, may find it awkward that one of the clearest national Linux success stories in the EU region sits just outside the club they like to call “Europe proper.” So far, European efforts to ditch Microsoft for something more open — and developed a lot more locally — have produced more losses than wins. Munich’s once lauded LiMux is now mainly a historical artifact. Vienna’s Wienux, developed at about the same time, has long been abandoned, evidently due to the city’s addiction to MS Office, which doesn’t run on Linux well when you can get it to run at all. EU OS, the current big effort to design a Linux distro by committee, appears as if its going to be a long slog. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿

While we don't mind feeding her as much as she wants - even bottle- feeding - birds don't belong inside homes (or cages). Seeing that the bird waited for us at the door - all on her own - was heartwarming though. Our pets are the fish (indoors, obviously) but a lot of our pocket money goes towards feeding the birds. They're free-range and they seem happy to nest on our roof (throughout daytime). Yesterday we noticed that some other people near us fed the birds (gulls also), recognising that sharing_food_at_the_peak_of_winter can save lives. Instead of wasting money on stupid Christmas gifts (likely manufactured in sweatshops, causing human misery) we'll invest in seeds and maybe enjoy the occasional bird visitor. They say there's "more to life" than consumerism; well, there's also more to life than just humans. █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠂⠄⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⣀⣠⣤⣤⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠐⠄⠀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠻⢿⣿⢷⠿⠟⢋⠉⣙⣯⠶⠖⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⢆⣤⣎⣭⣶⣶⣾⡟⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠃⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⢐⣷⣾⣿⠏⠇⢈⣙⣁⣤⣶⡵⠾⠁⠀⠀⣀⠀⡠⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣄⣸⣿⢋⡠⠴⠛⠟⠛⣋⣩⠧⠀⡀⠴⠄⠀⠂⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣯⣾⣷⣶⣾⠿⠯⢙⣫⠫⣿⣾⠿⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠄⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣤⡀⠀⠘⣍⣩⣥⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣀⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢠⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠗⠒⠲⣿⠟⠹⠟⠃⢀⣰⡦⠖⠂⠠⠬⠿⠧⠈⠑⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡤⠄⠀⠀⠠⠀⢀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠈⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠘⢀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⣀⣤⡶⠂⡐⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠇⢀⡀⠀⠼⠛⢛⣛⡙⠛⠟⠑⠽⣿⡿⠿⠿⣟⣿⣾⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⣶⡿⠟⣯⣤⡞⠋⡀⠀⠀⢄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠐⠥⠈⣼⣿⣷⣞⣋⢠⣠⠶⠾⠑⠒⠀⠀⠀⠺⠟⠋⠒⠒⠤⠤⣿⣶⣿⣿⣥⣤⣾⣿⡟⠁⡀⠀⣴⣆⡀⠈⠄⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠃⢀⣑⣴⣿⣿⢷⣼⣽⣟⡷⠭⠙⠂⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠠⣀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠄⠠⠚⠯⡮⢅⠮⢦⣤⣴⠀⠀⠠⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⡀⠠⠀⣀⠺⠗⠷⣄⠀⢻⣿⣿⡶⠶⢀⡀⠀⢀⢂⣴⣦⢀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢿⡟⠉⠿⣿⡇⠀⠀⡀⠈⠢⡾⣃⡰⠉⠁⢘⢢⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢹⣿⡟⠈⠀⠤⠈⠀⠀⢠⣤⣼⣿⣷⣭⡽⢿⣠⠦⠈⡽⣶⣾⣍⢐⣿⣠⠦⠐⠂⠰⣤⡤⡀⠂⣀⠀⠀⣉⣀⣄⣱⠬⢍⣩⡓⡆⢲⡈⠑⡄⠨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢰⢷⠀⠂⠠⠀⠀⠈⢀⣼⣿⢭⣼⣭⡯⠤⢤⡤⡀⣐⠛⠓⡻⣶⣶⠶⠾⠤⠄⠀⢀⣨⣛⣛⠲⣖⣶⡢⣚⡚⠛⠛⠙⢻⣷⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⣤⣿⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢑⣾⣮⣤⣤⣦⣤⣤⣤⡝⠁⠀⠀⢀⣳⣁⠀⠉⠁⠘⠩⢯⣝⣧⣟⣟⡉⡉⡓⠐⠀⠈⢽⠛⡀⣌⣷⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠤⡴⠚⠟⢛⡁⠹⠥⠐⠒⠤⣄⠀⣹⣯⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⡠⠄⠐⣪⡝⢓⡙⠿⢿⣅⠀⠈⠃⠤⠿⠿⣿⣿⠿⣦⣄⣔⡈⠀⠒⠀⠤⢄⡀⠨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣷⣄⢐⠵⠴⠶⠦⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠶⠾⠽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠁⠉⠿⣤⠐⠷⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⢷⣼⣾⣿⣿⣷⣭⡽⠿⣶⣩⠄⠀⠁⣉⣻⠃⠉⠁⠁⠐⠀⠀⢀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠻⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢐⣯⣭⡿⣿⡛⠙⠙⠳⢶⡶⡶⠤⠀⢁⣀⢀⠀⠰⠲⣔⡻⠛⠉⣴⣿⠲⡴⣦⣖⣉⣁⣰⡦⣰⠿⢷⣄⠀⠀⠀⡀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠤⠀⢀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠒⠀⠠⢤⡤⠿⣿⣭⣿⣿⢷⣶⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠒⠶⠨⣉⡙⢷⣶⣶⣖⡠⡉⣃⣉⡘⢠⠤⠙⠊⠑⠒⠙⢋⠉⠁⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠆⠀⠀⠀⠒⣿⣲⣆⡒⠙⠛⠛⠙⠋⠋⠙⠀⠐⠂⣄⣈⣉⣉⡀⣈⣙⣂⣁⣊⡁⠀⠻⠾⣚⠳⣶⣶⣗⡂⡭⠏⠁⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣈⣃⣶⣒⡻⡿⠿⠟⠉⠉⠹⠓⢂⣀⢁⡙⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣛⣥⠺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣳⠶⠖⢒⠦⠤⡬⠀⠐⢁⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠒ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠠⠬⠙⠻⠥⠤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠈⠛⠛⠟⠛⠲⢶⣦⣤⢤⠄⠤⠰⠔⠈⠉⠉⠙⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠉⠳⠂⠠⠉⠼⠾⣷⠒⠀⠤⢄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠠⠀⠀⠄⠀⠠⠀⠀⠠⠤⠒⠛⠚⠛⢿⣎⣍⣤⣀⠮⡶⠿⠶⠄⠀⠀⢀⡒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣂⠈⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 451 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/05/Canada_GNU_Linux_Rising.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/05/Canada_GNU_Linux_Rising.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Canada: GNU/Linux Rising⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 05, 2025, updated Dec 05, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Canadian_ducks_in_La_Farge_lake_Coquitlam_BC_Canada⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Desktop operating system Market Share Canada⦈ Having just checked December_data_from_statCounter, it seems like GNU/Linux continues_to_grow and Windows is flailing.

They are both known for their stability. Ubuntu and Debian, however, are not the same. Which should you choose? I've been using Ubuntu-based distributions for a very long time. Currently, my distribution of choice is Pop!_OS, but I've also used Zorin OS, elementary OS, Ubuntu, Bodhi Linux, Linux Mint, and a host of others along the way. Given that Debian is often referred to as the "mother of all distributions," it would seem logical to think that these Ubuntu- based distros are similar enough to be interchangeable. That is not the case.

The project doesn't really wait around for things to become "accepted" before jumping in. That approach now continues as the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo) just gave the green light to replace a very old system component with something more modern.

AVML can be used to acquire memory without knowing the target OS distribution or kernel a priori. No on-target compilation or fingerprinting is needed. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ makeself_-_make_self-extractable_archives_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ The makeself.sh script itself is used only to create the archives from a directory of files. The resultant archive is actually a compressed (using gzip, bzip2, or compress) TAR archive, with a small shell script stub at the beginning. This small stub performs all the steps of extracting the files, running the embedded command, and removing the temporary files when done. All the user has to do to install the software contained in such an archive is to “run” the archive, i.e sh nice-software.run. I recommend using the “.run” (which was introduced by some Makeself archives released by Loki Software) or “.sh” suffix for such archives not to confuse the users, so that they will know they are actually shell scripts. makeself is cross-platform software. It’s free and open source. * ⚓ Infer_-_static_analyzer_for_Java,_C,_C++,_and_Objective-C_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Regardless of the input language (Java, Objective-C, or C), there are two main phases in an Infer run: The capture phase – Compilation commands are captured by Infer to translate the files to be analyzed into Infer’s own internal intermediate language. The analysis phase – In this phase, the files in infer-out/ are analyzed by Infer. Infer analyzes each function and method separately. If Infer encounters an error when analyzing a method or function, it stops there for that method or function, but will continue the analysis of other methods and functions. So, a possible workflow would be to run Infer on your code, fix the errors generated, and run it again to find possibly more errors or to check that all the errors have been fixed. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ dnst_-_Domain_Name_System_Tools_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ dnst is intended to offer both: a supported drop-in (see below) replacement and upgrade path for a subset of the popular NLnet Labs LDNS example tools, re- implemented in the Rust prpgramming language powered by the NLnet Labs domain Rust library an evolving toolbox of commands to aid DNS operators in the maintenance and operation of their zones and nameservers. dnst is not intended perform dig and drill-like functions This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Ping_Monitor_-_simple_ping_application_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ This is a simple ping application that displays real-time ping times to a specified host using a Deno backend, a WebSocket connection, and a WebView frontend with a Chart.js graph.

It can currently load the base game levels and provides the core gameplay functionality. The goals are to provide various accessibility, training, and customizability features that the base game does not. This is free and open source software * ⚓ InvoicePlane_-_self-hosting_invoicing_for_freelancers_and_small businesses_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ The main idea behind the InvoicePlane software is the creation of an application you host on your own server and use it for basic invoicing and client management. The target groups are freelancers, self-employed workers and small to medium sized companies which need a reliable and easy to use invoicing system but who can’t afford an expensive software. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ SearXNG_-_privacy-respecting,_hackable_metasearch_engine_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ SearXNG is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from up to 247 search services. Users are neither tracked nor profiled. Additionally, SearXNG can be used over Tor for online anonymity.

Built with Rust for performance and minimal dependencies, ostt works seamlessly on Linux and macOS. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Network_Monitor_-_real-time_network_connection_monitoring_tool_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Network Monitor is real-time network connection monitoring tool displaying active connections with live I/O statistics in a modern graphical interface. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ TUISIC_-_simple_TUI_online_music_streaming_software_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ TUISIC’s billing intrigued me. Its developer claims that the software is the first of its kind. A bold statement. So what’s TUISIC? It’s a simple TUI online music streaming application written in C++ with vim keybindings. The software streams music from a wide range of sources: YouTube, ForestFM, LastFM, SoundCloud, and JioSaavn. The developer indicates that support for YouTube Music is in the pipeline. * ⚓ dtsl_-_Dustin's_Simple_TUI_Launcher_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ dtsl is a fast, keyboard-driven application launcher for the terminal with fuzzy search and extensive theming support.

Expose your media (images, audios and videos) on the web and share them with family and friends. Publish them on a fast and secure static web site. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Iocaine_-_defense_mechanism_against_unwanted_scrapers_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Originally, iocaine started as a garbage generator, a tarpit, a place where the reverse proxy routed unwanted visitors, so that they’d crawl an infinite maze of garbage. Since then, it grew into a more ambitious project, and includes a scripting engine that lets the iocaine-operator tell the software how to treat each incoming request. The idea remained similar, however: to waste crawler resources, while keeping costs down. Unlike some similar tools, iocaine does not try to make the bad bots go away, it welcomes them, into an infinite maze of garbage. It does so, because the author observed that if the bots keep being served plausibly legit looking content, they will behave slightly better: they will not try to disguise themselves as much, and they’ll keep a steady, but not overwhelming crawling pace.

Kart racers are all about doing crazy jumps and flying around corners without having to worry if the vehicle will suddenly flip and tumble. I began contributing to the game during 1.0’s development and I remember well the work to fix a_physics_issue present in 0.9.3 that sometimes led to uncontrollable karts floating on downward slopes. When STK 1.0 came out, it already had many years of fine-tuning behind it, delivering a satisfying experience in most situations. In this blog post, I’m going to present many changes that have been done for SuperTuxKart Evolution to further enhance how the kart behaves: a major redesign of collisions between karts, aligning the obtention of collectibles with visible contact, changes to jumps, as well as subtler improvements. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ New_Steam_Games_with_Native_GNU/Linux_Clients, including_Marvel_Cosmic_Invasion_-_2025-12-03_Edition⠀⇛ Between 2025-11-26 and 2025-12-03 there were 65 New Steam games released with Native GNU/Linux clients.

This new report shows that Linux adoption is continuing its steady growth to the detriment of Windows, and in particular Windows 10, which has lost 2% of its users in the last month alone. Linux has seen adoption by Steam users increase by 0.15%, reaching an all time high of 3.2%. Yes, this remains distant to Windows’ overall 94.79% share, but it is on the up and has surpassed macOS at 2.02%. For reference, Linux sat below 1% for the longest time, only starting to gain sustained traction after the release of the Steam Deck in late February 2022.

Just like how Intel has its “XXXX Lake” moniker and AMD with its “XXXX Point” naming, the name is on point with Valve’s own naming convention.

It was developed by Collabora in collaboration with Arm and Google. Tyr aims to implement the same userspace API offered by Panthor, so that it can eventually be used as a drop-in replacement in the company’s PanVK Vulkan driver. After several years, the Tyr Rust driver might replace the Panthor C driver, but in the meantime, Panthor will keep being used since it is more mature and conformant with OpenGL ES 3.1 since July 2024.

A team ships new features, users quietly begin to struggle, and only later do the bug reports start trickling in. Someone finally checks the metrics, panic spreads, and feature development is put on hold so the team can patch problems already affecting thousands of people. The fixes help for a while, but a month later another slowdown appears and the cycle begins again. The team spends much of its time firefighting instead of building. I call this repeating sequence of ship, complain, panic, patch the Performance Decay Cycle. Sadly, it’s the default state for many teams and it drains morale fast. There has to be a better way. * ⚓ Arjen Wiersma ☛ Advent_of_Code_2025_Day_4_|_Arjen_Wiersma⠀⇛ Instead of just saying how many should be eliminated, we do it until there are no eliminations possible. This is highly reminiscent of a Conway Game of Life puzzle. In Clojure this is quite nicely done by reading the grid as a vector, and then ranging over all the coordinates. On each coordinate just take a look at the neighbors and apply the logic. Its pure nature means that the functions are already working in the right way to do this repeatedly. * ⚓ Modus Create LLC ☛ The_anatomy_of_a_dependency_graph⠀⇛ When working on the source code, you likely think of dependencies in the graph as individual modules that import code from each other. When drawing a project architecture diagram, however, the individual files are likely to be grouped in packages to hide the individual files that a package consists of, primarily for brevity. Likewise, in build systems such as Bazel, you would often have one “node” in the dependency graph per directory. Of course, it wouldn’t be totally unreasonable to have a few of “nodes” that would represent a couple of packages in the same directory on disk. You could, for instance, store performance and chaos tests in the same directory, but have them modeled as individual units since they might have a different set of dependencies. * ⚓ Jasper Tandy ☛ Jasper_is_blogging:_A_new_project⠀⇛ The problem is that I always end up building in Rails.

After some time, he came forward and said that the elves had found my distribution GnomeTools and were eager to use it. It looks so promising. However, they had problems finding any documentation about it. I had to admit that there was still a lot missing. My excuse was that the package needed a lot more classes and might also change here and there. Santa Claus said that that shouldn’t be a problem as long as I keep the version below 1 ;-).

Python’s ecosystem typically contains a great deal of what is needed, but for the cases when it doesn’t or when some bespoke development is justified, Go might be worth looking into. For one, the language is simple and the compiler forces whatever code you generate to maintain some readibility. After ad-hoc calls of Go code, structured calls of Go code, trying alternatives like this or this, it seems like it can be simpler or just a bit more automated. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2068 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/05/Programming_Leftovers.2.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/05/Programming_Leftovers.2.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 05, 2025 * ⚓ Andreas_Schneider:_CMocka_2.0_Released:_Enhancing_Unit_Testing_in_C⠀⇛ I am thrilled to announce the release of cmocka 2.0, a milestone for the cmocka_project. cmocka is a unit testing framework for C, designed to be simple, portable, and easy to use.

How do you stop critical jobs from being starved of GPUs by less urgent workloads? How do you ensure your production inference cluster always has the resources it needs? How do you fairly share expensive hardware between multiple teams running essential jobs? * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Getting_Started_with_OpenShift_Virtualization⠀⇛ To use OpenShift Virtualization, you must have access to a bare metal OpenShift cluster. There are several ways to install OpenShift: [...] * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_OpenShift_Service_on_AWS_supports_Capacity Reservations_and_Capacity_Blocks_for_Machine_Learning⠀⇛ Dive deeper into ROSA and troubleshoot with learning materials and tools. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ OpenJDK_25_now_available_in_Red_Bait_Enterprise_GNU/Linux 10.1⠀⇛ Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux (RHEL) 10.1 includes the Red_Hat_build of_OpenJDK 25 LTS, our latest long-term support release. This update offers better startup performance, memory efficiency, concurrency, and developer ergonomics. Red_Hat_supports_OpenJDK 25_LTS_through_December_2030, providing a stable, long-term foundation for building and running applications. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Migrating_Red_Bait_Ansible_Automation_Platform:_From_RPM_to container_on_Red_Bait_Enterprise_Linux⠀⇛ The universe, as it turns out, is big. Really big. And somewhere in that vast expanse of chaos sits your friendly neighborhood automation engineer, clutching a coffee-stained YAML file and muttering something about "dependency hell." For a year now, I've lived happily on Red_Hat_Ansible Automation_Platform_2.5 RPM running on Red_Hat_Enterprise_GNU/ Linux_9 (RHEL). A somewhat volatile yet exciting planet in an otherwise noisy galaxy. My jobs ran on schedule, my logs were mostly legible, and my PostgreSQL database hummed like a contented Vogon. Life was adequate. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Python_3.9_reaches_end_of_life:_What_it_means_for_RHEL users⠀⇛ The Python 3.9 release was in October 2020, the next step in Python’s steady annual release cadence. It brought several improvements that many developers still rely on today, including dictionary union operators, enhanced string methods, type hinting enhancements, new PEG parser infrastructure, and performance enhancements across the standard library. However, after five years of upstream maintenance, Python 3.9 has officially reached its end-of-life (EOL) phase upstream. This article will discuss what this means for Red Bait Enterprise GNU/Linux (RHEL) 8 and 9 users. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Solving_tool_overload,_one_automation_step_at_a time⠀⇛ To understand the business imperatives driving this shift, we asked S&P Global Market Intelligence 451 Research to conduct a comprehensive survey with 900 business and IT decision-makers and influencers. These leaders provided their perspectives on the current state of IT automation, anticipated changes, and the implications of relying on so many different tools. These insights also helped shape our understanding of the definition and expectations for a unified IT automation platform. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_OpenShift_sandboxed_containers_1.11_and_Red Hat_build_of_Trustee_1.0_accelerate_confidential_computing_across_the hybrid_cloud [Ed: Confidential computing is more like computers with back doors and intentionally misleading marketing messages]⠀⇛ Across both cloud and bare metal, OpenShift sandboxed containers 1.11 introduces features that harden your security posture and improve usability. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ CIS_publishes_hardening_guidance_for_Red_Hat OpenShift_Virtualization⠀⇛ The official publication of the new CIS Benchmark® for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is an important development for organizations running traditional virtual machines (VMs) alongside modern containers. OpenShift Virtualization is a feature of Red Hat OpenShift that allows existing VM-based workloads to run directly on the platform. This globally recognized, consensus-driven benchmark provides recommendations for creating a security-focused configuration for those environments. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ AI_ambitions_meet_automation_reality:_The_case_for_a unified_automation_platform [Ed: IBM Red Hat is trying to prop up the lousy, worthless shares by painting everything with a brush called "AI"]⠀⇛ Most teams are drowning in tools, often ending up with too many dashboards with too little coordination. A remarkable 72% of organizations are using up to 50 different IT tools, while nearly a third (28%) are managing over 50. This fragmented approach creates significant hurdles for effective IT automation, including: * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ From_vision_to_reality:_A_5-step_playbook_for unified_automation_and_AI [Ed: Buzzwords conflated with real things]⠀⇛ As automation and AI become increasingly interdependent, systems must be capable of cohesive information exchange. This critical need points directly to platform engineering (PE), which enables self-service capabilities through a, "bidirectional exchange of both data and workflows," between tools. A unified automation platform isn't merely a convenience, it's the strategic foundation for AI development and deployment. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2447 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/05/Reproducible_Builds_Software_Freedom_and_More_Free_Software_Lef.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/05/Reproducible_Builds_Software_Freedom_and_More_Free_Software_Lef.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Reproducible Builds, Software Freedom, and More Free Software Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 05, 2025 * ⚓ Reproducible_Builds:_Reproducible_Builds_in_November_2025⠀⇛ Welcome to the report for November 2025 from the Reproducible Builds project! * ⚓ Jamie Zawinski ☛ XScreenSaver_and_PAM⠀⇛ I could not even hazard a guess as to which of these things are still true, or how many decades ago they stopped being true, or which of them are influenced by Linux versus BSD versus Solaris versus HPUX versus AIX versus Kerberos or other things that nobody cares about any more. So I am considering making the following changes: [...] * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ David Bushell ☛ Deleting_Code_for_Performance⠀⇛ My website is built with a home-cooked static site generator (don’t look, it’s a mess). I wrote a half-baked markdown parser I haven’t touched in a year. Until now! It’s time to under-engineer Hmmarkdown! * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ DragonFly BSD Digest ☛ NYCBUG:_Holiday_Party_&_Lightning_Talks_& Tips_tonight_–_DragonFly_BSD_Digest⠀⇛ Note that the recorded stream from the last event, The Once and Future COBOL, is available on YouTube and PeerTube. I heard the speaker, James K. Lowden, talk about FreeTDS years ago and enjoyed it too. o ⚓ Robert Haas ☛ Robert_Haas:_The_Future_of_the_PostgreSQL_Hacking Workshop⠀⇛ The PostgreSQL Hacking Workshop will be taking a well- earned Christmas break in December of 2025. The future of the workshop is a little bit unclear, because I'm continuing to have a bit of trouble finding enough good talks online to justify doing one per month: the best source of talks for the event is pgconf.dev, but not all of those talks are about hacking on PostgreSQL, and not all of those that are about hacking are equally interesting to potential attendees. Also, we've already eaten through much of the backlog of older hacking- related talks that are posted online. Many conferences have few hacking-related talks, or just don't post any videos (which are expensive and time-consuming to produce). * § FSF / Software Freedom⠀➾ o ⚓ Kevin Boone ☛ Kevin_Boone:_‘Sideloading’_restrictions_on_Android: how_big_a_deal_will_they_be?⠀⇛ Let’s start by defining out terms. ‘Sideloading’ is a word used in the smartphone world for what would simply be called ‘installing software’ anywhere else. The term ‘sideloading’ has a pejorative ring to it, as if people who indulge in it are doing something sketchy. We don’t ‘sideload’ software on Windows, or Linux, or anything else – we merely ‘install’ it. In the smartphone world, though, ‘sideloading’ software has come mean obtaining it from some source not officially sanctioned by the vendor. o ⚓ Divya ☛ Local-first_is_not_offline-first⠀⇛ The distinction between local-first and offline-first matters because it shifts the center of gravity in software architecture away from the cloud to the user’s local device. While the offline-first movement responded to latency and network constraints, the local-first movement is a reaction to cloud dependency. Local-first carries a philosophical implication and forces us to contend with the question of data sovereignty and user autonomy. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2563 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/05/Security_Patches_and_Windows_TCO.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/05/Security_Patches_and_Windows_TCO.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Patches and Windows TCO⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 05, 2025 * ⚓ Announcing_Istio_1.28.1⠀⇛ This release contains bug fixes to improve robustness.

In that case, the victim received a decoy PDF claiming the file was encrypted and instructing the user to open it via ProtonDrive. Clicking the link redirected the target to a phishing kit designed to harvest ProtonMail credentials. o ⚓ The Record ☛ CISA,_NSA_warn_of_China’s_BRICKSTORM_malware_after incident_response_efforts⠀⇛ The hackers using the malware primarily target VMware vSphere and Windows environments. Once systems are compromised, the threat actors extract credentials and create hidden virtual machines that enable further access. o ⚓ Fortra LLC ☛ Why_the_Record-Breaking_30_Tbps_DDoS_Attack_Should Concern_Every_Business_|_Fortra⠀⇛ And that's why a new warning about the threat posed by Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks should make you sit up and listen. In Cloudflare's Q3 2025 DDoS Threat Report, it is revealed that recent months have seen a dramatic escalation in DDoS attacks, culminating in a record- breaking 29.7 terabit-per-second attack linked to a massive botnet called Aisuru. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2689 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/05/Standards_Consortia_OASIS_Approves_ODF_1_4_Ads_txt_Targets_a_Re.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/05/Standards_Consortia_OASIS_Approves_ODF_1_4_Ads_txt_Targets_a_Re.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Standards/Consortia: OASIS Approves ODF 1.4, Ads.txt Targets a Real Nuisance⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 05, 2025 * ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ OASIS_Approves_ODF_1.4,_Advancing_Vendor-Neutral_Document Standards⠀⇛ ODF is an open, XML-based, vendor-neutral, royalty-free file format for office documents, such as text, spreadsheets, and presentations, that ensures documents remain readable and editable across different software, platforms, and devices.

If you wanted to have the label and input be siblings, for example for styling purposes, then that implicit association is lost. To solve this, we can use the IDREF you probably already know, the for attribute on the element: [...] * ⚓ Pavel Panchekha ☛ Should_CSS_be_Constraints?⠀⇛ CSS is hard. The layout rules are quite complex and hard to pick up just from examples. Something like "centering a

Or remember the 2000s when you'd read A List Apart for all sorts of crazy ways to achieve the "Holy Grail" layout, specifically a header, a main body and sidebar of equal heights, and a footer? Given that it's such a mess, should we maybe just throw it out and start over with a totally different system? * ⚓ Darren Goossens ☛ Audio_on_Linux_really_sucks,_but_got_it_working_—_use pipewire!⠀⇛ Summary: Install pipewire and some other software, remove PulseAudio and reboot.

Here's why. - Fairphone — Compared to iOS, Android, at its core, is open-source. It’s in the name of the publicly available, modifiable source code for the Android operating system—AOSP, or Android Open Source Project. However… In practice, running a fully functional version of Android on any device requires a lot of proprietary software from various component vendors, including the chipset manufacturer. On top of this, you also have Google’s own proprietary services that have been taken into account. The primary technical challenge is maintaining long-term software compatibility, as the open-source AOSP components must reliably communicate with various vendor-supplied, possibly pre- compiled or binary, components, which need to be adjusted when the operating system is updated.
