Most articles will tell you why Linux is great: the privacy, the control, the thousands of free and open- source tools, all the good stuff. This time, I am coming at it from the other direction. I am asking a slightly different question: “How do I know if Linux is not right for me… at least not yet?” Think of this as a tongue-in-cheek checklist of habits and expectations that don’t always play nicely with the Linux way of doing things. If you recognize yourself in a few of these, it doesn’t mean you’re not welcome in the penguin club. In fact, by the end, you might realize Linux is for you, and it's time to make the switch. Now let's dive in, flip the script, and look at the signs Linux might not feel like home… yet.

It's not just about being dissatisfied with the default setup, but about recognizing that your Linux PC can be molded to match your style and workflow. This customization journey might start with an attempt to optimize your screen space by repositioning the panels, which can potentially lead to adding a macOS-style dock or Windows 11-like taskbar to your system. Eventually, this can lead down deeper rabbit holes: exploring GNOME Extensions, discovering KDE Widgets, or experimenting with different virtual desktop configurations. And if you’re feeling adventurous, this journey can lead you to the world of auto-tiling window managers, which can fundamentally change how you interact with your system.

Back in 2009, I was a post- grad student at Politecnico di Torino and we had an Operating Systems class in the curriculum. As this course relied heavily on Linux and thus I kind of forced myself to replace Windows 7 with Ubuntu 9.04. I borrowed the CD from a friend. And yes, CDs were used for operating system installation at that time. That was 16 years ago. I have not looked back since then. Linux has been the primary operating system on my personal computer. And Ubuntu has been my choice of distro for the most part of it. And I have seen the transition Ubuntu has taken since then. I was there to see new projects launched by Canonical and not take off, sadly.

about Linux distros, and you've decided to give it a try. If you're coming from Windows, you've likely installed Linux Mint, which is an excellent starting point for exploring the wider world of open-source software. But there's something terrifying lurking within, something that you very rarely use as a Windows user, something with so much power and potential that it can ruin your entire OS: the dreaded Terminal. The good news is that the Terminal is your friend and not out to get you. The bad news is, it will get you if you tell it to, accidentally or not. And while seeing that white text on a black background will send shivers down any Windows user's spine, the truth is, you need to befriend the beast if you're to really take off with Linux. And while there's plenty of documentation out there already, TLDR makes things even easier. * ⚓ XDA ☛ How_to_replace_your_favorite_Windows_apps_on_Linux_(with_better ones)⠀⇛ Many people think switching from Windows to Linux means giving up the apps they rely on every day. That belief persists because Windows has decades of familiarity, and Linux still feels unfamiliar to many people who have never tried it. Today’s Linux ecosystem offers mature, polished, and often more capable replacements for the tools most users rely on. Once you know where to look, the transition becomes far less intimidating and can even feel refreshing. I’m going to outline several real-world categories of Windows software and the Linux applications that match or exceed them. Each focuses on tools accessible to newcomers while remaining powerful enough for advanced users. I hope you’ll come to realize that the Linux desktop is not a compromise but a modern platform with a strong app ecosystem. With a few smart replacements, you can settle into a workflow that feels familiar yet more flexible. * ⚓ XDA ☛ 8_tiny_utilities_that_instantly_make_my_Linux_desktop_feel faster⠀⇛ If you follow my work, you probably know that, at this point, I'm mostly using macOS and Linux computers in my daily life. My Mac Mini is my main workstation at home, but when it comes to laptops, I spend most of my time on Linux, and I love it that way. And while Arch Linux is a very snappy and lightweight Linux distro, that's also because it's a bit barebones, and to maximize my productivity, there are some tools that can really help make everything feel faster. And the best part is they don't even have to take up that much space in the first place. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 508 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/15/APT_vs_Pacman_Which_Linux_package_manager_is_better_for_beginne.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/15/APT_vs_Pacman_Which_Linux_package_manager_is_better_for_beginne.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ APT vs Pacman: Which Linux package manager is better for beginners⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 15, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇terminal⦈_ Quoting: APT vs Pacman: Which Linux package manager is better for beginners — The package manager is what primarily makes a Linux distribution special. You can always swap out the desktop environment, the window manager, and the shell, but you're stuck with the package manager built into the distro you're using. And unless you go out of your way to avoid the terminal, you will be interacting with the package manager fairly often. So it makes sense to give that choice some thought, especially if you're new to the Linux ecosystem. The Advanced Package Tool (or APT) and Pacman are the two most popular package managers out there, and I'll try to help you pick one.

While OpenBSD is well known for its roles in security and running on network devices it can also be run as a desktop operating system. Jesse Smith takes OpenBSD 7.8 for a trail run this week and reports on how it performs compared to NetBSD while engaged in the same tasks. [...] * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ What_is_a_Package_Manager?⠀⇛ When people think of package managers they usually picture installing a library but these days package managers and their associated registries handle dozens of distinct functions. A package manager is a tool that automates the process of installing, updating, configuring, and removing software packages. In practice, modern language package managers have accumulated responsibilities far beyond this definition. * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ Package_Manager_Design_Tradeoffs⠀⇛ Package managers make dozens of design decisions with no right answer. Each choice has real costs and benefits, and choosing one side often forecloses other options. This is a survey of those tradeoffs. * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ Why_I’m_Fascinated_by_Package_Management⠀⇛ Before I had broadband, software updates came on CDs bundled with gaming magazines. Growing up in rural England, I had no idea these CDs even carried patches until I stumbled across one. Finding a new Half-Life patch or Quake map pack felt like discovering treasure. Software could get better after you bought it. Years later, gem update gave me that same feeling. Run a command, gain new capabilities. Newer versions of Rails, Rake, RSpec. Other people were doing the work to improve this software, and I got to benefit just by running a command. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 630 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/15/Chile_Shows_Windows_is_in_No_Man_s_Land.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/15/Chile_Shows_Windows_is_in_No_Man_s_Land.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Chile Shows Windows is in No-Man's Land⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 15, 2025, updated Dec 15, 2025 Earlier this year: GNU/Linux_Adoption_Reaches_All-Time_Highs_in_Chile, statCounter_Indicates Today: Windows_down,_Android_all-time_high 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Operating_System_Market_Share_Chile⦈_ Taking trends_like_these into consideration, perhaps the above is unsurprising.

What sets it apart from similar applications is that it targets developers who want IDE-style functionality while remaining entirely inside the terminal. The editor runs entirely in a terminal emulator and does not use graphical toolkits such as GTK or Qt.

Quite a few good finds in this past week, with Skate Story in which you play a demon trying to reach the moon on a skateboard. Don’t mind the scenario, OK, it’s about skating and it looks cool. There’s what looks like an amazing 2D action game as well, Dunjungle. Looks like December won’t be boring this time. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Why_Games_Work,_And_How_To_Build_Them⠀⇛ Most humans like games. But what are games, exactly? Not in a philosophical sense, but in the sense of “what exactly are their worky bits, so we know how to make them?” [Raph Koster] aims to answer that in a thoughtful blog post that talks all about game design from the perspective of what, exactly, makes them tick. And we are right into that, because we like to see things pulled apart to learn how they work. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ id_Software_released_its_first_game_35_years_ago today,_John_Carmack’s_breakthrough_side-scroller_engine_—_Commander_Keen title_brought_smooth_scrolling_to_PCs⠀⇛ 35 years ago today, Commander Keen in Invasion of the Vorticons - Episode 1: Marooned on Mars was released by a dev team including John Carmack and John Romero. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ Mars_First_Logistics_Review:_Build_and_Deliver_Stuff⠀⇛ I saw this game a few years back (2 years ago?) at the Bitsummit in Kyoto, and I remember it looks very intriguing. It puts you on the planet Mars, where you have to carry stuff (hence the name logistics) across its surface. The problem it asks you to solve is “what does it take to move this object from place A to place B?”. And the whole thing is in 3D, of course, with some degree of physics simulation. And to tackle that challenge, you get some parts to assemble a rover. Very similar to LEGO parts, by the way. Which makes me wonder why LEGO never really focused too seriously on this kind of market of construction games. They are mostly known for the lazy licensed LEGO games with famous movie franchises. A game like Mars First Logistics is exactly what LEGO, the company, should commission, if they had any idea. Anyway. Moving an object from A to B is a simple concept, but as they say, the devil is in the details. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Experiment_to_train_rats_to_play_Doom_reaches_a_new level;_rats_can_now_shoot_enemies_—_wraparound_AMOLED_screen_provides virtual_environment_for_neuroengineers'_expanded_open_source_project⠀⇛ The project, led by neuroengineer Viktor Tóth, has evolved into a second-generation setup that significantly expands what the rats can do inside the Doom engine. * ⚓ El País ☛ The_day_the_creator_of_Tetris_met_the_inventor_of_the_Rubik’s Cube:_‘We_have_to_look_for_entertainment_that_challenges_us’⠀⇛ Both men rarely give interviews, but they agreed to speak with EL PAÍS at the OXO Video Game Museum in Málaga, Spain. Rubik — who spends half the year in San Pedro de Alcántara, a resort town in Málaga province — visited the museum on Friday, December 5. The following day, in this temple of creative leisure — which is always packed with children — Pajitnov received an honorary award. The conversation is a tectonic clash between two minds that know how to combine leisure, creativity and mathematical challenges. With one difference, of course: you can’t get more analog than a Rubik’s Cube… and you can’t get more digital than Tetris. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1453 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/15/GIMP_3_2_RC2_added_Barrel_Rotation_support_for_Mypaint_Brushes.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/15/GIMP_3_2_RC2_added_Barrel_Rotation_support_for_Mypaint_Brushes.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GIMP 3.2 RC2 added Barrel Rotation support for Mypaint Brushes⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 15, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GIMP⦈_ Quoting: GIMP 3.2 RC2 added Barrel Rotation support for Mypaint Brushes | UbuntuHandbook — The new release introduced less features compare to the last RC1, but focused on improvements to performance and existing features and vulnerability fixes.

The correct solution depends on matching the application's needs with the storage's capabilities. This guide covers the key factors that influence performance and resiliency in CDE storage solutions and explains the trade-offs between different options. We will explore the architectural decisions involved in configuring a reliable, dual- zoned storage backend for CDE on a Red_Hat OpenShift_Service_on_AWS (ROSA) cluster using FSx for NetApp ONTAP. We analyze architectural trade-offs and establish recommended storage configurations by examining the relationship between different storage concepts.

This driver addition was highlighted by Greg Kroah-Hartman in a staging pull request for Linux 6.19-rc1. “Here is the big set of staging driver updates for 6.19-rc1,” wrote Kroah-Hartman. “Only thing ‘major’ in here is that two subsystems, gpib and vc04 have moved out of the staging tree into the ‘real’ portion of the kernel, which is great to see.” The dev added that these additions have been tested for a while with no reported problems. * ⚓ Gabriel Simmer ☛ Ceph⠀⇛ Ceph is pretty neat. It joins together nodes to pool their storage and replicate objects between them, providing a sort of Kubernetes-for-storage service that I really like (I love Kubernetes so I’m going to use that as a point of reference a lot). And like Kubernetes, it comes with a ton of complexity the average person... probably won’t need in their life. It starts at the bootstrapping stage. There are two ways to deploy Ceph, effectively - by hand, or using the Cephadm tool to do the hard work for you. Initially I opted for the "by hand" approach, since my goal was to learn Ceph anyways and what better way than to dive in headfirst and ignore things that make life easier. * ⚓ Ritesh Oedayrajsingh Varma ☛ From_profiling_to_kernel_patch:_the journey_to_an_eBPF_performance_fix⠀⇛ eBPF (originally “extended Berkeley Packet Filter”, though now used as a standalone term) is a powerful system in the Linux kernel that allows you to safely run custom programs directly inside the kernel. These programs can be attached to various hooks in the kernel called tracepoints, kprobes, or perf events. You can think of an eBPF program as C code that executes whenever a specific kernel event occurs. An example of this is the sched_switch tracepoint, which triggers on every thread context switch. Superluminal uses eBPF to collect performance data such as context switches and sampling events. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1845 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/15/Linux_6_19_rc1.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/15/Linux_6_19_rc1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Linux 6.19- rc1⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 15, 2025, updated Dec 15, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Linus_Torvalds⦈_ * ⚓ Linux_6.19-rc1⠀⇛ So it's Sunday afternoon in the part of the world where I am now, so if somebody was looking at trying to limbo under the merge window timing with one last pull request and is taken by surprise by the slightly unusual timing of the rc1 release, that failed. Teaching moment, or random capricious acts? You be the judge. Anyway, this merge window was slightly unusual in how we had a number of kernel maintainers on the road the last week due to the yearly maintainer summit, but also in how some of the core pull requests were about various conversions to expand on and use more of our automatic compiler cleanup infrastructure. That happened in several subsystems, but the VFS layer stands out. And on the Rust front, we are now starting to see several actual drivers starting to take form. The "mainly preparation and infrastructure" phase is starting to become "actual driver and subsystems development". That said, despite a few unusual patterns, the big picture really looks pretty normal: half the rc1 patch is driver updates (gpu, networking, media and sound stand out as big subsystems as usual, but there's pretty much everything in there). The rest is all over the map, with architecture updates, tooling, Rust support, tooling, documentation, and core kernel (mm, scheduler, networking) updates. Below is my mergelog as a rough overview of what I've pulled and from who - for full details you have to go to the git tree.

There are many positive signs out there; the fake economy - or rather a bubble pretending to be built upon real value - will implode, leaving in tact only a remnant of what we once dubbed "GAFAM". Apple has been having a ton of high-level departures lately, set aside mass layoffs and the CEO being pushed out. No company is immune at these times. NVIDIA is seemingly a giant Ponzi scheme [1, 2], not the world's most valuable company. 8 days ago I met a person who works there and he openly tells me that he plans to leave because the workplace is stressful and he knows the employer is bluffing. NVIDIA isn't better off than Intel, it's just riding a hype wave. The mass layoffs aren't "due to AI" or to "invest in AI"; it's a smokescreen. Here in Tux Machines we eagerly look forward to the eta after the "AI" hype.

The release introduces a redesigned networking model built around WireGuard, enabling secure, VPN-like access to internal resources without traditional tunnel management or per-site connections. The main change is the new Private Resources feature. It replaces the old Client Resources, Proxy Resources, and site-based subnet setup. Private Resources determine what can be reached in the network, from a single host to an entire subnet, using CIDR.

Open Source Experience is a professional conference and expo focused on open source technologies and their role in digital transformation, digital sovereignty, and enterprise IT. If you live here in the States, you’re likely to have never heard of it — partly due to national hubris and partly due to geography — but in France and the rest of Europe, it’s a big deal. For each of the last several years it has attracted something like 4,000 attendees, with about 90 exhibitors on site, and more than 100 conference sessions. It positions itself as a major European business event for open source, bringing together vendors, users, public bodies, and community organizations. The six awards recognize various aspects of the free software ecosphere and are considered important, not only in France but throughout Europe.

As communicated earlier this would be the final release of 2.x series, before we welcome 3.0 in 2026! This release concentrates more on performance and stability so that users and customers can base current projects on this release for a long term before migrating to 3.x. This blog highlights some of the standout features from the 2.12 release and provides a sneak peak at 3.0 and other exciting stuff we are working on.  * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Visualise_and_Analyse_Bathymetric_Survey_Data_with_R⠀⇛ The first step in the value chain for water utilities is extracting water from natural sources, such as rivers, groundwater, oceans, or reservoirs. Water managers and the public alike are interested in knowing how much water a reservoir currently holds. * ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_BH_1.90.0-1_on_CRAN:_New Upstream⠀⇛ Boost is a very large and comprehensive set of (peer-reviewed) libraries for the C++ programming language, containing well over one hundred individual libraries. The BH_package provides a sizeable subset of header-only libraries for (easier, no linking required) use by R. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ Markup from Hell ☛ The_Wonderful_World_of_Web_Feeds_-_HTMHell⠀⇛ Other web content syndication specifications include Atom (also XML-based) and JSON. If you’re interested, CSS Tricks has a breakdown of the technical distinctions between these formats. A web feed (even one that says it’s an “RSS” feed) could be any of these formats under the hood. o § Mozilla/SeaMonkey⠀➾ # ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ SeaMonkey_Composer_via_right-click_menu⠀⇛ When you click the right-button of the mouse on a .html file, appropriate apps appear to view it.

Where were these secrets stolen from? You guessed it, they were mostly stolen from environment variables. We use environment variables to configure information that processes need to run, but this type of storage was not designed for security, so using the environment for secrets always comes with risk. Given how serious this recent attack was, I thought it would be good to write a short article describing how I manage my secrets as part of my open source work. * ⚓ MaskRay ☛ Weak_AVL_Tree⠀⇛ The 2014 paper Rank-Balanced Trees (Haeupler, Sen, Tarjan) presents a framework using ranks and rank differences to define binary search trees. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ String_formatting_with_named_format_arguments and_format_flexibility⠀⇛ Suppose, not entirely hypothetically, that you have a tool that prints out records (one per line) and each record has a bunch of information associated with it, which you print out in columns. You'd like to provide a way for people to control which columns of information are printed for the records. If there's only a few options, maybe you can do this with a few different format strings using the traditional "%s %s %s" approach of positional formatting (because you're old fashioned and haven't really updated to the modern world of string formatting), but this doesn't really scale up very well; you rapidly get into a massive explosion of options and formatting. * ⚓ JYN ☛ what_is_a_build_system,_anyway?⠀⇛ At a high level, build systems are tools or libraries that provide a way to define and execute a series of transformations from input data to output data that are memoized by caching them in an object store. Transformations are called steps or rules 1 and define how to execute a task that generates zero or more outputs from zero or more inputs. A rule is usually the unit of caching; i.e. the cache points are the outputs of a rule, and cache invalidations must happen on the inputs of a rule. Rules can have dependencies on previous outputs, forming a directed graph called a dependency graph. Dependencies that form a cyclic graph are called circular dependencies and are usually banned.2 Outputs that are only used by other rules, but not “interesting” to the end-user, are called intermediate outputs. * ⚓ Hackers' Pub ☛ Stop_writing_CLI_validation._Parse_it_right_the_first time.⠀⇛ There's this blog post that completely changed how I think about parsing. It's called Parse, don't validate by Alexis King. The gist? Don't parse data into a loose type and then check if it's valid. Parse it directly into a type that can only be valid. * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Elephant(s)_in_the_room:_Graph_neural_networks, embeddings,_and_foundation_models_in_spatial_data_science⠀⇛ Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are a deep learning architecture that represents spatial data as graphs: nodes are spatial units (pixels, regions, locations) and edges are relationships (proximity, similarity, connectivity). Nodes aggregate information from neighbors through message passing, similar to spatial lag models. Common types include Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs), Graph Attention Networks (GATs), GraphSAGE, and Graph Isomorphism Networks (GINs). * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Simon Willison ☛ JustHTML_is_a_fascinating_example_of_vibe engineering_in_action⠀⇛ I recently came across JustHTML, a new Python library for parsing HTML released by Emil Stenström. It’s a very interesting piece of software, both as a useful library and as a case study in sophisticated AI-assisted programming. o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ PyCharm_2025.3_update_adds_faster_Python_project management,_free_Jupyter_support,_and_more⠀⇛ Just like with IntelliJ IDEA, JetBrains is ditching the separate downloads for the Community Edition and Pro version of PyCharm. There's now a single unified PyCharm IDE that you only need to download once, and if you have a valid Pro license, it will unlock the Pro features in that unified application. As part of this migration, the free PyCharm now supports Jupyter notebooks, but is otherwise mostly the same experience. Moving onto new features, PyCharm 2025.3 will use uv as the default environment manager for all new projects by default, as long as it's installed on your system. The uv utility is a popular replacement for the pip package manager, pyenv, virtualenv, and other core Python tools written in Rust. It's 10-100x faster for package operations than pip, so it might be worth switching your existing projects to uv as well, if you haven't already. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Simple Observability ☛ Go_is_portable,_until_it_isn't⠀⇛ We thought Go would give us a single, portable agent binary for every Linux distro. Turns out… not exactly. But also, kind of yes. This post kicks off a series about the traps we fell into while building a cross-platform server monitoring agent. o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ IntelliJ_IDEA_2025.3_arrives_with_more_free features,_full_Java_25_support⠀⇛ JetBrains has released IntelliJ IDEA 2025.3, the first version of the new unified IDE for Java development. It's combining the Community Edition and Ultimate builds into one package and adding a few new features on top, including full support for Java 25. IntelliJ IDEA is one of the most popular development environments for Java and Kotlin, but its two separate versions created some uncessary complexity. JetBrains announced earlier this year that it would merge the free IDEA Community Edition and paid Ultimate version into one package. The company also planned to create a fully open- source build, which arrived in the previous 2025.2 release. The new IntelliJ IDEA 2025.3 update is the long-awaited merger, with one single downloadable package for both core and extended features. You can download it for free with the same features that were always available in the Community Edition, and a valid Ultimate license unlocks other functionality. You can also try a free trial for Ultimate without switching IDEs. o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ JetBrains_GoLand_2025.3_is_here_to_upgrade_your_Go programming⠀⇛ JetBrains might be best known for its IDEA, PyCharm, and WebStorm integrated development environments, but it also has one for Go language development: GoLand. The latest version can help you hunt down resource leaks, code with multiple AI agents, use Terraform files, and much more. JetBrains has released GoLand 2025.3 alongside similar updates for its other IDEs, including IntelliJ IDEA 2025.3. The most important improvement here might be early resource leak detection, which can help you find files, connections, or other resources that are opened in your code but never properly closed. For example, if your code opens a local file and doesn't close it afterwards, you'll see an inspection warning suggesting a close action. GoLand is also getting the same multi-agent feature as other JetBrains environments. Anthropic's Claude Agent is the first third-party AI agent supported in GoLand, and you can switch between it and JetBrains' own Junie agent within the same chat interface. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2606 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/15/Proxmox_Coverage_in_XDA.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/15/Proxmox_Coverage_in_XDA.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Proxmox Coverage in XDA⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 15, 2025 * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_simplified_my_home_lab_with_a_single_Proxmox_node⠀⇛ I started my home lab with the hardware I owned. Initially, I roped my Raspberry Pi 4B (4GB) as a testbed for Docker containers and self-hosting apps. Meanwhile, my Windows 11 desktop and M1 MacBook Air provided support and helped with other specific projects, like running local LLMs occasionally. When Pi 4 hit its limits, my three-device home lab became chaotic. I needed a solution that wouldn’t cannibalize my primary computers. So, I consolidated everything into a single HP ProDesk 600 G6 mini PC running Proxmox. Here’s how I simplified my home lab with a single Proxmox node. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_tried_out_the_new_Proxmox_OCI_images_for_containers,_and_I adore_them⠀⇛ When it comes to running containerized apps, Proxmox gives you plenty of options to match your server’s capabilities. There’s native LXC support that, when paired with TurnKey templates and the ultra-useful Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts repo, can help you reliably host dozens of useful self-hosted services. It’s technically possible to deploy containers within LXCs, but between the extra network complexity and security issues of this setup, it’s hard to recommend it. Otherwise, you can also deploy typical Docker and Podman containers inside virtual machines – and that’s precisely how I’d been running many underrated container images until now. But with Proxmox adding support for OCI images in version 9.1, you’ve got yet another method to self-host cool services on your home lab. Well, since it’s still in early development, there are a few quirks with the OCI image support on Proxmox. But after spending the weekend deploying typical DockerHub images as LXC templates, I’m really excited about this feature. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Proxmox_Datacenter_Manager_just_got_its_first_stable_release,_and you_need_it_in_your_home_lab⠀⇛ Proxmox’s powerful virtualization prowess, support for LXCs (and OCI images with VE 9.1), and clustering provisions are only a part of what makes it a terrific home lab platform. Technically, ESXi may have a more fleshed-out collection of first-party tools, but Proxmox is slowly working its way up with official and community-created offerings. You’ve got Proxmox Backup Server to create space-efficient snapshots of your virtual guests, while the Mail Gateway lets you add an extra layer of protection to your self-hosted email server. Then there’s Proxmox Datacenter Manager, which was already a solid challenger to vCenter in its alpha builds. And now, the full release brings some much-needed facilities to this management utility. * ⚓ XDA ☛ This_is_my_favorite_LXC_on_Proxmox_–_and_it's_not_what_you think⠀⇛ Proxmox’s solid performance in virtual machines (including those running in a nested setup) is the reason why I use it for my distro-hopping experiments, DevOps training, and remote development projects. But aside from its utility as a tinkering platform, PVE also doubles as an amazing self-hosting environment thanks to its support for LXCs and the ultra-useful Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts repository. Heck, I’ve got a bunch of LXCs deployed using these templates that I consider essential for my everyday tasks. My GPU-powered Jellyfin LXC is responsible for streaming movies and TV shows that my family has collected over the last two generations, while my Semaphore container houses all the Terraform config files and Ansible playbooks for my automation experiments. But if I had to name one LXC that matters more than any other containerized service on my PVE servers, I’d point to the Tailscale subnet router – one that runs on a typical TurnKey Debian template, no less. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2711 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/15/Raspberry_Pi_Extensions_and_Recycling_Mini_PCs_RISC_V_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/15/Raspberry_Pi_Extensions_and_Recycling_Mini_PCs_RISC_V_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Raspberry Pi Extensions and Recycling Mini PCs, RISC V, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 15, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Wireless_radios⦈_ * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ These_are_the_3_accessories_I_wish_I_had_bought_with_my Raspberry_Pi⠀⇛ My Raspberry Pi 500+ has finally been delivered, but I kept the order brief so I could keep the cost down. In spite of my attempts at being frugal, I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t toyed with the idea of throwing a few more items on the order. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Is_the_Raspberry_Pi_500+_and_its_mechanical_keyboard_worth it?⠀⇛ The Raspberry Pi 500+ is most of a Raspberry Pi 5 Model B 16GB that’s been squeezed into a keyboard case, with fancy mechanical key switches and some fetching RGB lighting. It’s fair to ask whether this package is worth the $200 asking price, or whether you’d be better off with a regular Pi instead. § The Pi 500+ is a computer in a keyboard Unlike the standard Raspberry Pi 5 and earlier single-board iterations, the Pi 500+ is built for a slightly different crowd. This is a desktop replacement; it comes with 256GB of NVMe storage connected to an M.2 slot, features two micro HDMI outputs for dual monitor support, and it’s a much larger unit on account of being built into a keyboard housing. You could be forgiven for thinking that the Pi 500+ is just a mechanical keyboard, since it’s comparable in weight and size to some of the thicker models on the market. Turn the unit around, however, and you’ll find plenty of ports, including the Raspberry Pi’s signature 40-pin GPIO connector. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 10_fun_things_you_can_plug_into_your_Raspberry_Pi’s_USB ports⠀⇛ You can plug some weird and wonderful things into your Raspberry Pi’s USB ports outside of the obvious mouse, keyboards, and storage devices. Here are some of the more interesting accessories you might want to get your hands on for your next project. * ⚓ Alexandru Scvorțov ☛ SWD_debug_probe_with_the_Pimoroni_Explorer⠀⇛ The Pimoroni Explorer is a nifty little RP2350 board with a 320x240 pixel screen, a speaker, 6 buttons, a breadboard, and headers galore. One problem is that it doesn’t have an SWD debug header. Let’s fix that. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Don't_sell_your_old_mini_PC—do_these_8_things_instead⠀⇛ Have an old mini PC lying around you're mulling over chucking into your "hardware graveyard" drawer or selling on eBay or Facebook Marketplace? Why get rid of it when you can repurpose and breathe new life into it? Here are some roles most mini PCs should excel at. * ⚓ Pete Brown ☛ Oops,_I_bought_another_typewriter.⠀⇛ It is a Corona 3 Folding Typewriter.

But have you ever witnessed someone install Linux on a floppy disk? And not just any distro, either; I'm talking one that came out recently? It may seem impossible at first, but not only did someone successfully get Linux running off a floppy disk on an Intel 486, but they used a distro specifically crafted to run off a single floppy. Because, of course, such a thing exists. o § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾ # ⚓ XDA ☛ This_Linux_distro_runs_better_than_Windows_on_every old_PC_I've_tested⠀⇛ Switching operating systems is exciting enough for enthusiasts like me, but a pain for the everyday user. As computers became more powerful, operating systems started packing more tools and robust security, all of which complemented the growth. However, the old hardware lagged behind, failing to run these modern operating systems. Windows 7 and 10 used to be my go-to operating systems for reviving old PCs, but I never thought Linux distributions would surpass them completely. Unlike Windows, this distro targets low-end systems that barely have resources to spare and don't have room for a hardware upgrade. MX Linux Fluxbox edition is an operating system that has never disappointed me while resurrecting an old laptop or PC. It focuses on offering the best possible experience without devouring the system resources, and doesn't feel out of place. Let me explain why I can't go back to Ubuntu or any other traditional Linux distro after using it. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ XDA ☛ I_automated_boring_Proxmox_tasks_with_Ansible,_and it's_easier_than_you_think⠀⇛ Between my ever-expanding IoT gizmo collection and the never-ending VM and LXC images I want to tinker with, I’ve been getting deeper down the automation rabbit hole with each passing week. On the home lab front, I’ve been playing with high-availability PVE clusters and SBC-powered Kubernetes nodes, with Terraform configs and Ansible playbooks helping me automate every aspect of these systems. But considering the sheer utility of Ansible, I figured I should try ditching Terraform for a few days and provision LXCs and virtual machines using a handful of playbooks and inventory files. Turns out, Ansible is more than capable of taking care of the tedious VM creation and configuration tasks all on its own. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ XDA ☛ Alpine_Linux_is_the_perfect_virtual_machine_OS_that_nobody talks_about⠀⇛ As if the variety of server components, mini-PCs, SBCs, and other paraphernalia you can use for a home server wasn’t diverse enough, you also get a plethora of operating systems and virtualization platforms to choose from. Depending on your hardware, certain tools like Harvester and ESXi may remain out of reach, while others would require a handful of tweaks to run on budget- friendly rigs. Then you have lightweight operating systems that, despite not bearing the most gorgeous UIs, are perfect for resource-starved virtual machines. Alpine Linux is one such distribution, and while it’s pretty popular as the base OS for container images, it’s surprisingly useful for VM-heavy workloads. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ XDA ☛ My_favorite_tool_for_booting_Linux_ISOs_now_works with_FreeBSD_15.0⠀⇛ For me, Ventoy is both a blessing and a curse. It's brilliant because it allows me to have a USB stick loaded to the gills with different Linux ISOs that I can boot into at the drop of a hat. However, it's also horrible because my distro-hopping brain uses it as the perfect excuse to consider swapping what system I have on my PC every week. In a way, it makes swapping OSes so easy that it enables my bad habits. Well, if you've been interested in adding FreeBSD 15.0 to your arsenal (and I know I am), you'll be pleased to hear that Ventoy's newest version lets you add the ISO to your drive, and you're good to go. Now I'm looking at my partitions and wondering if I can just squeeze in another OS for good measure. I'm sure it'll be fine. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ XDA ☛ Linux_anti-virus_suites_aren't_as_pointless_as_they once_were [Ed: Identifying Windows viruses on Linux servers, such as file servers]⠀⇛ Linux is growing, and anti-virus suites are starting to appear.

Use Linux, BSD. — After just three days it was clear that I wouldn't be able to get my day-to-day work accomplished with OpenBSD. The operating system could handle a good chunk of important tasks (web browsing, e-mail, document editing, and media playing), but it quickly ran into barriers when trying to do anything which required cross-platform functionality. Accessing non-native filesystems, fetching package information, opening popular archive formats, foreign package managers, and desktop operating systems running virtual machines were all outside the realm of functionality with OpenBSD. On the one hand, I was a little surprised by this because I have generally viewed OpenBSD as receiving more attention and adoption than NetBSD and, while the latter had its limitations too, it generally offered a wider range of functionality. Almost everything I did on NetBSD took manual work and involved some troubleshooting, but I could usually get programs I wanted working or find an alternative. On the other hand I must acknowledge the OpenBSD community has always tended to do its own thing, focus on its own goals, without much concern for the trends of the rest of the world. OpenBSD, more than its FreeBSD and NetBSD cousins, has tended to resist adopting technologies which do not allign with the goals of the OpenBSD developers. Modern technologies such as ZFS, virtual machines, and containers have not been priorities so it's not surprising mounting foreign archives and running desktop systems in virtual machines have not been priorities either. Put another way, OpenBSD is very good at what it does - being a minimal, clean, well-documented operating system that has managed to avoid remotely exploitable security holes. However, its shine quickly fades when it is asked to do things outside of its key roles of security and networking tools. Were I to directly compare my experience with NetBSD earlier this year and my trial with OpenBSD, I'd say their philosophies really shone through into their implementations. NetBSD strives to be portable and adaptable. Its documentation was often lacking or out of date, several of its components didn't work as expected at first and needed workarounds, but NetBSD tries to do any task we want to throw its way. It might not do the task smoothly, but it will probably have some method to attempt the task. OpenBSD has a more precise focus on documentation, security, and networking tools. The tools it provides tend to work very well, efficiently, and as documented. However, OpenBSD doesn't have any interest in attempting some tasks outside of its focus. While NetBSD might require us to tweak a configuration file or compile a tool to get a task working, OpenBSD simply doesn't provide tools for tasks for which its team are not interested. NetBSD attempts to be flexible and is, arguably, stretched too thin. OpenBSD is great at accomplishing its core tasks and shows no sign of wanting to do anything beyond those key features. I spent more time fighting with NetBSD to get things working; I ended up spending less time with OpenBSD in total because the tasks I wanted to perform simply were not options.
