Debian bug tracker⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 23, 2025 Quoting: An uncomfortable but necessary discussion about the Debian bug tracker — The Debian bug tracker was originally implemented in 1993 or thereabouts. Pretty much everything IT related was different back then. Manipulating things via email actually made sense at the time. Sadly, the world changed completely but volunteers working on the bug tracker did not have the resources to update it [2]. The end result is a classical legacy system: one that works and does the thing it needs to do but which no new developer wants to touch. Notable updates to the system would require major resources, which the project does not have. FWICT there have been attempts to migrate the tracker to e.g. Bugzilla or Gitlab, but none of those has come even close to succeeding.

COSMIC_1.0,_NixOS,_LXQt,_Raspberry_Pi,_&_more_GNU/Linux_news⠀⇛ This week in Linux, I’m Back! and this time, I mean I’m back and TWIL is back. This episode is going to have some stuff that happened between now and the last episode from a month ago but starting next week, the show is back on a weekly basis. * ⚓ Linux_User_Space_Episode_6:06:_The_Epic_Epoch⠀⇛ In this episode we spend a lot of time hyping things up, including some things you might not expect (from a GNU/Linux show, not so much Leo). We open up with Zorin making some money moves that helps WinBoat among a few other projects, then really dive into the show with Cosmic! A bit about how we've fared now that the 1.0 Cosmic Epoch is here, how things have changed, and what other goodies System76 has up their sleeve (it's a lot!). Then, we spend some time dissecting Mozilla's newest Hey Hi (AI) move. It turns out, if you dig deep enough, there's still hope, contrary to the wildly hot-take style news about things so far. And our final topic, Snapscope, a way to scan your Snaps for vulnerabilities, but then end up chatting way more about Snaps in general. * ⚓ Late_Night_Linux_–_Episode_365⠀⇛ Good news for custom Android ROMs, Rust is here to stay in the kernel, an open source success story in Germany, and a new version of elementary OS is out. Plus discoveries is back including better Firefox history, migrating from backdoored Windows to Linux, automating telescopes, turning old tablets into clocks, and more. * ⚓ Michael Geist ☛ The_Law_Bytes_Podcast,_Episode_254:_Looking_Back_at_the Year_in_Canadian_Digital_Law_and_Policy⠀⇛ Canadian digital law and policy in 2025 was marked by the unpredictable with changes in leadership in Canada and the U.S. driving a shift in policy approach. Over the past year, that included a reversal on the digital services tax, the re- introduction of lawful access legislation, and the end of several government digital policy bills including online harms, privacy, and Hey Hi (AI) regulation. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 436 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/23/Away_from_Cloud_This_Local_Offline_Tool_is_Perfect_for_Personal.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/23/Away_from_Cloud_This_Local_Offline_Tool_is_Perfect_for_Personal.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Away from Cloud: This Local, Offline Tool is Perfect for Personal Project Management on Linux Desktop⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 23, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Schedule_app⦈_ Quoting: Away from Cloud: This Local, Offline Tool is Perfect for Personal Project Management on Linux Desktop — At its core, Schedule is a digital Kanban board. For those unfamiliar with the term, Kanban is a workflow method popularized by Toyota in the 1940s. It uses a visual board with columns representing different stages of a process. You create "cards" for your tasks and move them from left to right as you make progress. Built with modern GTK4 and Libadwaita, the app feels incredibly "native" to the GNOME desktop. It’s fast, clean, and most importantly, stays out of your way.

The main novelty is the migration of MPRIS, Server, and Discoverer functionality out of the core application and into enhancer plugins. These features are now deprecated as built-in components. Applications that bundle Clapper as part of containerized distributions are advised to disable these features at build time and instead ship them as plugins. For Flatpak applications, the new implementations can be provided as runtime extensions, and Clapper will automatically prefer enhancer- based versions when both are present on the system.

Everyone who interacts with Debian source code should be able to do so entirely in git. * ⚓ Jussi Pakkanen ☛ Jussi_Pakkanen:_An_uncomfortable_but_necessary discussion_about_the_Debian_bug_tracker⠀⇛ Note: this post represents my personal opinions as a Debian maintainer of a single package (Meson). It is not my intention to throw anyone involved in the service under a bus, but some things about it are not good and need to be spoken aloud (in my opinion anyway, other people may disagree and that is fine). There was a post called Configuring_a_mail_transfert_[sic] agent_to_interact_with_the_Debian_bug_tracker on Planet Debian. It contained the following statement: [...] * ⚓ Emmanuel_Kasper:_Configuring_a_mail_transfert_agent_to_interact_with the_Debian_bug_tracker⠀⇛ ✐ Email interface of the Debian bug tracker⠀✐ The main interface of the Debian bug tracker, at http:// bugs.debian.org, is e-mail, and modifications are made to existing bugs by sending an email to an address like 873518@bugs.Debian.org. The web interface allows to browse_bugs, but any addition to the bug itself will require an email client.

It replaces waybar, swaylock, swayidle, mako, fuzzel, polkit, and everything else you’d normally stitch together to make a desktop. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ hyprdrover_-_lightweight_session_manager_for_the_Hyprland_compositor_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ hyprdrover is a lightweight session manager for the Hyprland compositor. It allows users to snapshot their current window layout (workspaces, positions, and sizes) and restore it later. This is particularly useful for saving specific workflows and quickly switching between them. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ ascii-chat_-_video_chat_in_your_terminal_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ ascii-chat is a client-server application that operates over TCP/IP. It supports color and audio and crypto and compression and multiple clients and has lots of other little features and options. The client functions by simply printing text and terminal escape codes to your terminal, so it works EVERYWHERE that terminals work: on rxvt-unicode in OpenBox, in a Putty SSH session, in iTerm and Kitty.app on macOS, and theoretically everywhere else terminals run. You just need a webcam. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ lintr_-_provides_static_code_analysis_for_R_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ lintr provides static code analysis for R. It checks for adherence to a given style, identifying syntax errors and possible semantic issues, then reports them to you so you can take action. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Cronboard_-_terminal-based_dashboard_for_managing_cron_jobs_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Cronboard is a terminal application that allows you to manage and schedule cronjobs on local and remote servers. With Cronboard, you can easily add, edit, and delete cronjobs, as well as view their status. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ dotbins_-_manages_CLI_tool_binaries_in_your_dotfiles_repository_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ dotbins manages CLI tool binaries in your dotfiles repository, offering: Cross-platform binary management (Linux, macOS, Windows). No admin privileges required. Version-controlled CLI tools. Downloads from GitHub releases. Perfect for dotfiles synchronization. dotbins uniquely integrates tool-specific shell configurations (aliases, completions, etc.) directly in your dotfiles workflow, not just binary downloads, and allows a Git workflow for managing binaries. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Pipelex_-_declarative_language_for_composable_Al_workflows_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Pipelex is an open-source language that enables agents to build and run repeatable AI workflows. Instead of cramming everything into one complex prompt, you break tasks into focused steps, each pipe handling one clear transformation. Each pipe processes information using Concepts (typing with meaning) to ensure your pipelines make sense. The Pipelex language (.plx files) is simple and human-readable, even for non-technical users. Each step can be structured and validated, so you benefit from the reliability of software, and the intelligence of AI.

Yes to the Terms of Service we didn't read. Yes to the app that everyone else is using. Yes to the convenient, shiny cage that proprietary software offers. We're told that compromise is a virtue. I hear arguments like, "I only use this one proprietary program for work," or "I need it to talk to my friends." It feels pragmatic. But in the fight for user freedom, "No" is the most powerful word in our vocabulary. Refusing to use proprietary software is not merely a personal lifestyle choice or a technical preference. It is a form of non-violent resistance. It is a direct action that strengthens the free software movement in ways that compromise never can. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ v2.17.0,_a_new_stable_release⠀⇛ We’re pleased to announce Ergo v2.17.0, a new stable release. For the official binary release and changelog, see our Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub: [...] * § FSF / Software Freedom⠀➾ o ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Events:_Free_Software_Directory_meeting_on_IRC:_Friday, January_9,_starting_at_12:00_EST_(17:00_UTC)⠀⇛ Join the FSF and friends on Friday, January 9 from 12:00 to 15:00 EST (17:00 to 20:00 UTC) to help improve the Free Software Directory. o ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Events:_Free_Software_Directory_meeting_on_IRC:_Friday, December_26,_starting_at_12:00_EST_(17:00_UTC)⠀⇛ Join the FSF and friends on Friday, December 26 from 12: 00 to 15:00 EST (17:00 to 20:00 UTC) to help improve the Free Software Directory. o ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Blogs:_Revive_the_winter_ghost_story_with_the_tale_of ShoeTool⠀⇛ Take a seat and join us for a winter holiday ghost story. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Jeff Geerling ☛ NIST_was_5_μs_off_UTC_after_last_week's_power cut⠀⇛ NIST was 5 μs off UTC after last week's power cut If you were 5 microseconds late today, blame it on NIST. Their facility in Boulder Colorado just had its power cut for multiple days. After a backup generator failed, their main ensemble clock lost track of UTC, or Universal Time Coordinated. But even if you used the NTP_timing_servers_they_run, they were never off by more than 5 microseconds. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Ask_Hackaday:_What_Goes_Into_A_Legible_Font,_And_Why Does_It_Matter?⠀⇛ There’s an interesting cultural observation to be made as a writer based in Europe, that we like our sans-serif fonts, while our American friends seem to prefer a font with a serif. It’s something that was particularly noticeable in the days of print advertising, and it becomes very obvious when looking at government documents. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 919 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/23/Free_Software_the_Net_and_Standards.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/23/Free_Software_the_Net_and_Standards.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free Software, the Net, and Standards⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 23, 2025 * ⚓ Hariharan ☛ Writing_a_Gemini_Search_Engine⠀⇛ Gemini is a new application layer protocol, a lightweight and privacy-oriented alternative to HTTP. You can find the entire spec here and it is beautifully minimal. Most Gemini clients are terminal-based and it is refreshing to just sit and read blogs without any distractions. And because Gemini is a new and niche protocol, most people in the geminispace genuinely care about the project and you can find really interesting articles and even some interactive stuff even though gemini was not built to upload complex data. * § Events⠀➾ o ⚓ ROS Industrial ☛ ROSCon_2025_&_RIC-AP_Summit_2025_Blog_Series: Singapore’s_Defining_Week_for_Open-Source_Robotics⠀⇛ On 30 October, the focus shifted from global to regional at the ROS-Industrial Consortium Asia Pacific Summit, held in conjunction with SWITCH and ROSCon. ROSCon focused more on the global community, while the RIC-AP Summit was about the_growth_and_contributions within_Asia_Pacific: deployments, testbeds, standards, talent, and industry partnerships. 1.Launch of ELEVATE @ BCA Braddell Campus * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Browser_version_numbers_are_a_bit complicated_(for_server_code)⠀⇛ Suppose, not entirely hypothetically, that you're writing code that for some reason wants to determine a 'browser version' from something and then cross-check it against other sources of browser version information. Possibly you also want to notice when you're not working with real browsers and not apply your version consistency checks to them. When you're starting out, it looks like what your code should do is return a browser name and version number. Unfortunately, this is a naive view, partly because of all of the browsers based on Chrome (or Chromium) and partly because of mobile device WebViews, which reuse a browser engine without being the browser. * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ Jekyll_Stats_Plugin⠀⇛ Jekyll doesn’t have a built-in way to see how many words you’ve written, so I made jekyll-stats. There are existing plugins like jekyll-posts-word-count which use Liquid tags, and Raymond Camden wrote about generating stats with JSON and Vue.js. I wanted something simpler: a CLI command that just prints stats, with optional JSON output for a pure Liquid page. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ Mauricio “Pachá” Vargas S ☛ Building_Your_First_Organizational_R Package⠀⇛ Learn to create, deploy, and maintain an R package that transforms how your organization works with data. This hands-on workshop takes you from planning to production. What You’ll Learn o ⚓ APNIC ☛ What_training_topics_can_tell_us_about_regional_Internet infrastructure_priorities⠀⇛ The region-level numbers don’t tell the complete story though. For instance, the most taught topics across the Asia Pacific in 2025 include IPv6 (23%), Network Management & Monitoring (NMM, 12%) and Network Security (11%). A closer look gives a more interesting picture of the technical priorities within our region. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ New York Times ☛ Some_of_the_World’s_Atomic_Clocks_Were_Off_Last Week_(by_5-Millionths_of_a_Second)⠀⇛ How some of the world’s most precise clocks missed a very small beat. o ⚓ [Old] Ilya Meerovich ☛ Gemini_-_The_small_Internet⠀⇛ Gemini is another alternative to both the web and Gopher that emerged in 2019. This protocol aims to be a middle ground between the minimalist austerity of Gopher and the overwhelming abundance of the web. I discovered the existence of both Gemini and Gopher when someone posted a link to the Lagrange Gopher/Gemini client (seen in the screenshot above) on Hacker News, and have been almost mesmerized by it ever since. o ⚓ [Old] Ryan Himmelwright ☛ Started_Browsing_Geminispace⠀⇛ Over the past year, I’ve been intrigued by the “small web” and have been trying to spend more of my online time there. I touched on this a little bit in my website redo 2023 post [1]. While browsing some blogs in a web-ring recently, I noticed a few of them referenced and linked to ‘gemlogs’. I decided to dig a little deeper, and watched a few videos about gemini [3] [4]. One of them also talked about gopher, which I had heard about but never used. After these videos, I still wasn’t too interested in gopher… However, I DID want to look into Gemini. So, I downloaded the Lagrange gemini client, and started browsing. o ⚓ [Repeat] Daniel Lemire ☛ JSON-complete_data_formats_and programming_languages⠀⇛ Much of the data on the Internet is shared using a simple format called JSON. JSON is made of two composite types (arrays and key-value maps) and a small number of primitive types (64-bit floating-point numbers, strings, null, Booleans). That JSON became ubiquitous despite its simplicity is telling. o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ NIST_warns_of_NTP_inaccuracy_after_blackouts across_Colorado⠀⇛ His post says he has seen “strong evidence one of the crucial generators has failed. In the downstream path is the primary signal distribution chain, including to the Boulder Internet Time Service.” “Another campus building houses additional clocks backed up by a different power generator; if these survive it will allow us to re-align the primary time scale when site stability returns without making use of external clocks or reference signals,” he added. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1111 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/23/Games_Steam_Siren_Luxman_Moonlit_Market_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/23/Games_Steam_Siren_Luxman_Moonlit_Market_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Steam, Siren, Luxman Moonlit Market, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 23, 2025 * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ 13_Awesome_Games_Linux_Users_Can_Grab_in_Steam_Winter_Sale 🎮_(Ends_5_January)⠀⇛ Linux gaming has been evolving over the years, thanks to Wine, Valve's Proton, and many other tools like Bottles, Lutris, and Heroic Game Launcher. This means even if a game is unavailable natively on Linux, you can still play some of them thanks to Steam Play. That's great.

There's a demo available on Steam with a Linux version you can try out right now, and it was just updated over the weekend to bring lots of improvements.

In particular, thanks to the release of the book Mastering Mini Go, I have discovered how exciting go on a 9×9 board is. I feel like this faster-paced, smaller game has taught me a lot, because it is so rich in feedback. This comes from it being very unforgiving. Small-ish mistakes quickly lose the game, and that becomes clear just a few moves later. o ⚓ Adam Fortuna ☛ From_SimCity_2000_to_Ruby_on_Rails:_How_Games Sparked_My_Love_of_Orchestration⠀⇛ I was born in 1982. I was 5 when I played Super Mario Bros. for the first time – holding the controller withs hands just big enough to hit all of the buttons. By the time the Super Nintendo and Genesis came out, my hands had grown with the controllers. For me, that was the Golden Age of video games. I’d spend countless hours playing the original Zelda (NES) all the way through over and over. Some weeks I’d scour every inch of A Link to the Past‘s (SNES) levels, looking for areas I shouldn’t be able to access at different points in the game. I’d challenge myself to beat all the bosses in Mega Man 2 (NES) using only the Mega Buster. I’d go through Donkey Kong Country (SNES) to hit 101% – finding the secret room inside the other secret room. Looking back it seems like I spent years playing these games, but it was likely only weeks or months on each of them. For a time I wanted to create video games. I loved the idea that people were enjoying something I poured my heart into – even without them even knowing who I was. There was one game that captured my heart unlike any other: SimCity 2000 (Macintosh). * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ GNOME ☛ Asman_Malika:_Everybody_Struggles⠀⇛ There’s a quiet assumption that once you’re accepted into a program, an internship, or a new opportunity, things are supposed to click. That confidence should come automatically. That the struggle somehow ends at the door. It doesn’t. Lately, my struggle has been feeling like I should already know more than I do. I’m an intern working with a large codebase that was unfamiliar at first. On the surface, everything looked final, I read the documentation, followed discussions, and tried to understand the flow. But when I began contributing, I realized that understanding a codebase and working inside it are two very different things. Functions referenced other functions I had not seen. Libraries behaved in ways I didn’t fully understand yet. I spent hours chasing what seemed like a simple issue, only to realize I misunderstood something basic. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ FreeBSD ☛ Powering_the_Future_of_FreeBSD⠀⇛ FreeBSD doesn’t just happen.

Now, imagine doing all that inside a modern environment built to run both containers and virtual machines, like Red_Hat_OpenShift Virtualization. First, you provision a Red_Hat Enterprise_Linux (RHEL) virtual machine (VM), configure the operating system, set up storage, and then step through the Oracle installer. One wrong package or missing kernel parameter, and you're back at square one. o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Hellen_Chemtai:_Overcoming_Challenges_in_OpenQA_Images Testing:_My_Internship_Journey⠀⇛ Hello there. Today will be an in depth review on my work with the Debian OpenQA images testing team. I will highlight the struggles that I have had so far during my Outreachy internship. The OpenQA images testing team uses OpenQA to automatically install images e.g. Gnome Images. The images are then tested using tests written in Perl. My current tasks include speech install and capture all audio. I am also installing Live Gnome image to backdoored Windows using BalenaEtcher then testing it. A set of similar tasks will also be collaborated on. While working on tasks, I have to go through the guides. I also learn how Perl works so as to edit and create tests. For every change made, I have to re-run the job in developer mode. I have to create needles that have matches and click co-ordinates. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Loong64_is_now_an_official_Debian_architecture⠀⇛ John Paul Adrian Glaubitz has announced that loong64 is now an official architecture for Debian, and will be part of the Debian 14 ("forky") release "if everything goes along as planned".

We perform certain routines countless times a day, like launching apps, opening the same websites, arranging windows, and typing repetitive text. Even though these tasks are not necessarily complex, they are repetitive and add up. The only way to truly reclaim my time was by automating my Linux desktop. This led me to specific GUI-based automation tools that actually work. With each one meeting a particular need, I've been able to build workflows that launch apps, fill in text, interact with stubborn applications, and even run in the background without my input. I love recommending GUI-based Linux tools, and they make these automations perfect because, after setup, you don't need the terminal. Tasks that used to take 10–15 minutes now run automatically, removing the friction I had in the past.

It's one of the few filesystems that genuinely delivers on promises like end-to-end data integrity, self-healing, snapshots that don't feel like a hack, and storage management that actually scales as your system grows. Once you've lived with ZFS, it's hard to go back to traditional RAID and ext4 without feeling like you've lost safety nets you didn't realize you were relying on. ZFS can detect and correct errors that a simple RAID or ext4 setup would never catch, and features like instant snapshots and copy-on-write design make tasks like backups and rollbacks easy to make a habit. But ZFS also comes with an uncomfortable truth that doesn't get talked about enough: the filesystem is only as good as the operating system wrapping it. And if you're running ZFS on a generic Linux distribution, you're often signing up for more risk, maintenance, and subtle breakage than you expect. ZFS works on Linux, and many use it daily, but it's not a seamless, built-in part of the kernel. Instead, it's an add-on with caveats, and setting it up can feel frustratingly difficult. All of this is to say that ZFS itself is rock solid, but the wrong OS can make your experience far less so. * ⚓ Linux_Kernel_6.19_Delivers_Major_Performance_Boost_for_Old_AMD_GPUs⠀⇛ Linux users have long preferred AMD GPUs for their superior built-in support in the Linux kernel, and the latest Linux kernel update, version 6.19, appears to reinforce these notions, according to testing by Phoronix. For users of old GCN 1.0 and GCN 1.1 GPUs, like the AMD R9 390x, recent change to the Linux kernel now defaults to using the newer AMDGPU Linux kernel driver, where they would previously default to the Radeon driver. This change was facilitated by Valve, whose engineers have been working on bringing modern feature support to the GPUs and getting the AMDGPU kernel driver support into a state that allowed for it to become the default option. This change was expected to deliver a performance uplift, but in testing, it has been revealed that this performance uplift often exceeds 40%, depending on the game. Phoronix tested the new configuration on an AMD Radeon HD 7900 3 GB from the Southern Island family, which is a 13-year-old graphics card, and in the publication's testing, the new driver outperformed the older version in every test, with the biggest performance increases coming from the GravityMark 1.87 OpenGL tests, although Unigine's benchmarks also saw a handsome improvement. Aside from performance improvements, access to features like the Mesa RADV Vulkan driver, among others, allows these older GPUs to play a number of games using Proton, which could improve performance or make previously unplayable games compatible. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ The_Amiga's_filesystem_is_now_on_Linux_and_Mac,_thanks_to an_emulated_driver⠀⇛ Amiga computers may have been popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s, especially in media production, but their filesystems are not directly compatible with modern computers. The new 'amifuse' project aims to fix that with a new filesystem driver built around an invisible m68k CPU emulator. Amifuse is a FUSE driver for macOS and Linux, allowing you to natively mount disk images using the Amiga's Professional File System 3 (PFS3). The project's documentation says other Amiga filesystems might work, "but have not been tested." Disks are read-only by default, but you can enable the experimental read- write support through a command-line argument. If you have Amiga drives or disks, there aren't many options for accessing those files with modern computers. The Linux kernel has limited support for some of the old Amiga filesystems, but not PFS3, which was proprietary commercial software until it was open-sourced in 2011. The more common format was the Amiga Fast File System (FFS), which replaced the Amiga Old File System (OFS). There's also the Smart File System introduced in 1998, which had an experimental Linux driver at one point, but the project was abandoned. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2052 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/23/Microsoft_Funded_Linux_Foundation_Promoting_Slop_Lobby_Founded_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/23/Microsoft_Funded_Linux_Foundation_Promoting_Slop_Lobby_Founded_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Microsoft-Funded Linux Foundation Promoting Slop Lobby Founded by Microsoft, Mirantis and Shinkai Join in⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 23, 2025 * ⚓ Mirantis_Joins_Linux_Foundation's_Agentic_AI_Foundation_as_Silver Member [Ed: Linux_Foundation_Has_Found_a_New_Business:_Pyramid_Schemes]⠀⇛ Mirantis, delivering Kubernetes-native infrastructure for AI, today announced its official membership in the Linux Foundation's newly formed Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) as a Silver Member. * > * ⚓ Business Wire ☛ Mirantis_Joins_Linux_Foundation's_Agentic_AI_Foundation as_Silver_Member⠀⇛ * ⚓ Mirantis_Joins_Linux_Foundation’s_Agentic_AI_Foundation_as_Silver Member⠀⇛ * ⚓ PR Newswire ☛ Shinkai_Joins_the_Linux_Foundation's_Agentic_AI Foundation_as_a_Launch_Member_to_Advance_Open_Standards_for_Agentic_AI [Ed: Riding the pyramid scheme]⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2094 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/23/MX_Linux_MX_25_Infinity_Xfce_Jolly_but_not_too_chipper.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/23/MX_Linux_MX_25_Infinity_Xfce_Jolly_but_not_too_chipper.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ MX Linux MX-25 Infinity Xfce - Jolly but not too chipper⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 23, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇MX_Linux_MX-25_Infinity_Xfce⦈_ Quoting: MX Linux MX-25 Infinity Xfce - Jolly but not too chipper — MX Linux MX-25 Infinity is a'right. If nothing else, you have to appreciate the following facts: the distro is reasonably consistent, it's slowly improving, the distro team sticks to their goals without getting distracted, and they champion the cause of simplicity quite admirably. That said, Debian brings its own constrains, the Xfce session takes quite a bit of time tweaking, and things aren't as slim as they used to be. Still, I'm pleased. And I do want to see what happens when one chooses the KDE version, the systemd version, or both. I may also take this fine distro for a spin on an Nvidia-powered machine. Look, if you're looking for something that isn't barebones Debian or "heavy" Ubuntu, MX Linux fits the bill nicely. You get lots of decent programs, good hardware compatibility, and excellent speed. Just don't go comparing MX Linux to itself, as that might leads to some heartache. Lastly, even though Infinity is okay, it can do better on the first impressions front. In particular, the choice of the theme, and the fact you need a lot of effort in multiple places to tame the Xfce desktop, be it the panel, the clock, the dock, the Whisker menu, and whatnot. Each comes with its own utility, its own configurations, and this can get tedious. All in all, 'tis a good start for a new-age MX Linux. I don't know what this practically means, other than the loss of 32-bit architecture builds. How the KDE work will pan out, or how systemd will pan out, and all the relevant implications, I doth not know yet. For the time being, MX sticks to its familiar story, and it seems to work quite well. It just needs a sprinkling of happiness, brighter colors and some extra consistency. We're done.

In addition, variables in for-loops are now read-only, reducing unintended side effects in loop constructs. Memory usage for arrays has been significantly optimized in Lua 5.5. According to devs, implementing more compact arrays reduces the memory footprint of large tables by approximately 60 percent, improving performance for data-intensive applications. * ⚓ Groot Koerkamp ☛ Asymptotic_elevators⠀⇛ I was listening to an episode of the well there’s your problem podcast about pencil towers (youtube), and it had a section on how elevators are a problem because they require a lot of space. So here’s a mathematical version of that. * ⚓ Connor Tumbleson ☛ The_OIDC_Future⠀⇛ Lets imagine you have an access key that expires every 90 days and is probably hardened to the specific permissions that key needs. Maybe that's uploading a file and triggering a new deploy or something like that, but that is still a possible vector if it leaks. If you had a key that was ephemeral for the state of the action and auto-generated at the time it was needed that is basically what OIDC is under the hood. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ A_practical_introduction_to_multiple_imputation_of_missing_data with_the_R-package_mice_workshop⠀⇛ Join our workshop on A practical introduction to multiple imputation of missing data with the R-package mice, which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series!  * ⚓ [Repeat] Daniel Lemire ☛ Performance_trick_:_optimistic_vs_pessimistic checks⠀⇛ Strings in programming are often represented as arrays of 8-bit words. The string is ASCII if and only if all 8-bit words have their most significant bit unset. In other words, the byte values must be no larger than 127 (or 0x7F in hexadecimal). A decent C function to check that the string is ASCII is as follows. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ C.J._Adams-Collier:_I’m_learning_about_perlguts_today.⠀⇛ * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Seth Michael Larson ☛ PEP_770_Software_Bill‑of‑Materials_(SBOM) data_from_PyPI,_Fedora,_and_Red_Hat⠀⇛ This year I authored PEP 770 which proposed a new standardized location for Software Bill-of-Materials (SBOM) data within Python wheel archives. SBOM data can now be stored in (package)-(version).dist-info/sboms/. You can see the canonical specification on packaging.python.org. o ⚓ NVIDIA Corporation ☛ Reducing_CUDA_Binary_Size_to_Distribute_cuML on_PyPI⠀⇛ PyPI limits binary size to keep costs for the Python Software Foundation (PSF) under control and protect users from downloading unexpectedly large binaries. The complexity of the cuML library has historically required a larger binary than PyPI could host, but we’ve worked closely with PSF to overcome this by reducing binary size. This post walks you through the new pip install path for cuML and a tutorial on the steps the team used to drop the CUDA C++ library binary size, which enabled the availability of cuML wheels on PyPI. o ⚓ Jose Zarazua ☛ I’m_a_former_CTO._Here_is_the_15_sec_coding_test_I used_to_instantly_filter_out_50%_of_unqualified_applicants.⠀⇛ The logic of course is that for a good programmer it would be more of a hassle to copy, open an interpreter or ChatGPT, paste it, run it, then answer, than just run the code in their head. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Rich Trouton ☛ Using_printf_to_write_variable_values_to_JSON strings_in_Bash_scripts⠀⇛ However, that didn’t work right and the asset_tag_number_goes_here variable’s value wasn’t being read correctly. Why? Because the JSON string uses single quotes to enclose it and in Bash, enclosing characters in single quotes means every character is being sent exactly as it is written. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2602 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/23/Programming_Ruby_GDB_Rakudo_and_Rusticon.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/23/Programming_Ruby_GDB_Rakudo_and_Rusticon.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming: Ruby, GDB, Rakudo, and Rusticon⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 23, 2025 * ⚓ Ruby ☛ Redesign_our_Site_Identity⠀⇛ We are excited to announce a comprehensive redesign of our site. The design for this update was created by Taeko_Akatsuka. As part of this update, we have redesigned the site’s identity as “A language where people gather, a site where people are visible.” Ruby has been a language centered on “programmer happiness” for 30 years. The new key visual expresses the presence of people surrounding Ruby. The composition features diverse hand-drawn illustrated characters radiating outward from the central Ruby logo, representing developers around the world connecting through Ruby, creating value in their respective fields, and enjoying Ruby alongside familiar motifs. * ⚓ LWN ☛ GDB_17.1_released⠀⇛ Version 17.1 of the GDB debugger is out. Changes include shadow-stack support, info threads improvements, a number of Python API improvements, and more, including: "Warnings and error messages now start with an emoji (warning sign, or cross mark) if supported by the host charset.

"If we are plunging into an interregnum," Dr._Andy_Farnell_wrote_some_days_ago, "if truth is the first casualty of war, and if Blaise Metreweli is right that we're in the twilight between peace and war, then that's partly our own doing and within our power to pull back from the brink. Epistemic mistrust is a psyops weapon, and we must look both abroad and closer to home for those that are full of bullshit and peddle the tools of bullshit, because they, in their own weak minds have given up on the truth. In the funniest ways their own kids are calling them out on it." He also discussed how_this_related_to_technology and to computer security (he wrote_for_us_about_it_4+_years_ago).

It started out as a Debian-based Linux distribution called Pear OS. Then, out of nowhere, it was renamed Comice OS. The rename gremlins struck again, and it was back to Pear OS. Pear OS was then sold to a company hoping to keep the distribution alive, but that experiment did not last long, and a single developer, Alexandru Bălan, brought it back, only this time as pearOS. Bălan switched from the Debian base to an Arch base, gave it a new installer, the 6.17 kernel, and KDE Plasma 6.5.3. Of course, Bălan tweaked the KDE Plasma theme until it looked as MacOS as a Linux desktop can.

Markup from Hell ☛ The_HTML_Elements_Time_Forgot_-_HTMHell⠀⇛ Last year I inflicted upon you the cursed knowledge of HTML's legacy colour parsing, a crime for which I'm still yet to pay. This year, I return with more unwanted and unrequested HTML knowledge of yore. The truth is, HTML is getting old, folks. The initial release was 1993, 32 years ago. It certainly isn't decrepit, but it does have a storied past – a couple of missteps, tabloid scandals, and unflattering paparazzi photos. That's why I'm so glad you're joining us here today to peruse some of these bad haircuts of HTML's youth. * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_SFTPGo_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Secure file transfer remains a critical requirement for modern server infrastructure, especially as organizations move away from outdated FTP protocols. SFTPGo has emerged as a powerful, feature-rich alternative that addresses the security limitations of traditional file transfer servers while delivering enterprise-grade capabilities through an intuitive interface. * ⚓ François_Marier:_LXC_setup_on_Debian_forky⠀⇛ Similar to what I wrote_for_Ubuntu_18.04, here is how to setup an LXC container on Debian forky. § Installing the required packages Start by installing the necessary packages on the host: [...] * ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Install_LAMP_Stack_with_PHP_8.3_and_MariaDB_11_on Ubuntu_24.04⠀⇛ As you may already know, the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL/ MariaDB, PHP) stack is an assortment of leading open source web development software packages. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3464 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/23/We_Can_Continue_to_Grow_as_Long_as_We_Cover_the_Topics_and_Issu.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/23/We_Can_Continue_to_Grow_as_Long_as_We_Cover_the_Topics_and_Issu.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ We Can Continue to Grow as Long as We Cover the Topics and Issues That Matter⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 23, 2025, updated Dec 23, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Painting_of_a_Lion_in_the_wild⦈_ 2-3 years ago my wife and I started going to yoga classes. Around that time we were both subjected to online abuse and meditating in a yoga practice let us take a break from it. We later started going to a nearby swimming pool, a very large swimming pool; later park runs became a common routine. Back then the site had already moved or was_about_to_move_to_UK_hosting. There were persistent attacks on our ISPs and on webhosts; Americans kept issuing threats to them. They did this in tandem; there was clear coordination. The attacks didn't yield anything substantial. Au contraire. They ended up increasing interested in what we publicly post on a daily basis and traffic in both sites has nearly doubled since then. The volume of output grew by about 50% and we've settled on a good rhythm and peace of mind. The reason why people come to our sites is that we've long focused on suppressed matters and we offer something unique. That will continue for years to come. █ ⣤⣤⣤⣠⣼⣧⡄⢠⣷⣦⠀⣤⣶⡆⠀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠙⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛ ⡛⠙⠙⣎⣽⣿⣷⣶⣷⣯⣤⣽⣿⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠉⢻⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛ ⣿⣶⣆⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠈⠉⣿⣿⡿⠟⠻⡿⠟⠛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⢉⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣟⣡⣽⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠁⣸⣷⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⡿⠿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠻⠟⠛⢿⣿⡿⢿⣧⡀ ⠙⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠱⢶⣶⣿⡏⠀⠀⣾⣿⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣷⣿⣁⡰⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠗⠀⠘⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⡤⣀⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣶⣶⣶⣄⣤⣤⣾⣿⡖⠀⠛⠛ ⡀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣄⠀⠀⠀⠹⡿⠛⠹⣷⠁⠈⡿⠋⠉⠉⠙⢻⡇⣀⣘⣿⡛⢻⣿⡿⠛⠛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣀⣤⣬⠷⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠉⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣾⠛⠛⠋⠙⠿⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡀⢀⣐⣿⣿⣦⠀⣴⡏⠁⢀⣴⣿⡶⠒⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⢹⣿⣿⣿⣾⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⢙⣿⣿⣿⣷⣷⣒⢯⣔⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⠀⠀⠁⠻⠿⠇⠀⠀⠞⠋⠛⠶⠲⠿⠿⠻⠁⣀⣰⢶⣶⠤⢶⠶⠶⢿⡏ ⠛⠛⠟⠻⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⣀⣬⣏⣀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠤⠤⣤⣤⣶⡿⢿⠿⠿⡿⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠨⣻⣿⢾⣿⣿⣿⣮⣍⡻⣯⢻⣿⣏⢻⣿⣷⡄⠐⣷⣶⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣾⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠓ ⠀⠀⢠⣿⡟⣻⠁⠀⠀⢾⣿⣿⠿⠿⠂⠀⣤⣇⣀⣀⡋⠉⡌⣁⣈⣀⣀⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡴⠟⠁⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣬⣻⢿⣯⣄⠄⠊⠁⠀⠀⠈⠙⣭⣀⣀⣠⣾⣷⣿⣖⠀⠙⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣄⡀⠀ ⠆⠀⠚⠉⠈⢿⣶⣄⣀⡘⠿⠇⠀⠠⣤⣄⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⢠⣿⣿⡿⠟⠨⣿⣡⡄⠀⠀⢠⣿⠟⢁⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣇⣿⠛⣦⠙⠿⣗⠐⢶⣶⣷⢶⣶⣿⣿⣿⡿⠻⠯⠩⣷⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⡿⠷⣦⡄⢘⡟⠓⠀ ⣄⣠⡤⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⢿⡏⠀⠀⢀⣀⠛⠉⠛⠉⠁⣿⣷⡤⢿⣿⡇⢀⣼⣿⣿⡁⠀⣀⣭⣟⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⢤⡀⠀⠈⢿⡇⢿⣷⣾⣍⢁⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⢙⣿⡄⠀⢺⣶⠤⢀⠀⠛⠛⠻⠀⠠⢿⣿⡿⠏⠀⠀ ⡿⣿⣇⣀⣠⣾⣶⣦⣾⣦⣶⣾⣿⡿⠳⠄⠀⢀⣾⡟⠉⠀⠀⢀⣠⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠦⣉⠛⠒⢦⡁⢸⣿⣿⡿⣾⣷⠀⠀⡤⠴⣷⣾⣿⣷⣤⣾⡏⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡁⣿⠟⠙⠛⠋⢙⣿⣿⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣧⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⢿⣼⡾⣤⡈⠂⠀⣀⡯⠄⢩⣿⢳⣿⣻⢷⣆⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠛⢿⣶⣦⣤⣄⣠⣤⣤⠴⠞⠀⠀⠠⣾⡖⠀ ⡿⢿⣷⣶⣦⣴⣾⣿⣤⠀⢠⣾⡦⠾⠶⠀⠀⠈⠉⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡿⣿⡶⢾⣿⢅⣀⠄⡰⣿⣗⣾⣾⣉⣝⣛⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⣀⣤⣄⣀⣼⡿⠛⠉⠙⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀ ⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢦⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣇⠈⠁⠀⠈⢩⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣀⡀⠀⢀⡠⠄⠀⢀⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣠⡀⠀⣠⣤⠀⢿⣷⠠⢷⡿⠛⠂⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣏⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣽⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⡵⡶⣼⣷⣦⠀⣰⣏⣻⠿⠿⠿⠟⢿⣿⡿⢻⣿⡗⠀⠀⠀⠠⠾⠋⠀⠴⣶⡄⠀ ⣤⡝⠛⠛⠛⠋⠀⡾⠿⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠸⣿⣿⣇⠀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣽⡗⠒ ⠋⠀⠀⣾⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⣬⣿⣷⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠈⠉⠁⠐⠋⣭⣤⣤⠀⠐⠋⠁⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢶⢿⠷⠀⠶⠄⠀⢿⣿⠀⠀ ⣴⣶⠶⢾⣿⣶⡶⠆⠈⠀⠀⠀⠐⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⡖⠀⢻⣿⣷⣤⣤⡄⠒⣤⡀⠀⢀⣀⠀⣀⡀⠐⣷⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⣸⡟⠀⣠ ⠘⠃⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢏⡉⢱⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠆⠈⠉⠛⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠃⢠⣿⡇⠀⠘⣛⡋⠛⠋⠀⢿⣿⠿⣿⠿⠿⠟⢠⣶⣿⢷⣾⡟ ⠀⠀⢠⣤⠄⠀⠀⠀⣶⡷⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢋⣿⠀⠺⠁⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣷⣤⣀⣀⣤⣄⣀⣰⡆⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠋⠀⣶⠋⢻⡿⠀⠀⠶⠿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣡⣿⣴⣿⣅ ⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⣿⣾⠟⣡⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⠋⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣴⣿⠋⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣅⣀⣤⠀⢀⣀⢠⠀⠉⠀⠀⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⣡⡈⠻⠿ ⡂⠀⢠⣷⠀⠘⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣷⣴⡄⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢛⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣰⣾⣷⣾⣽⠇⠀⠉⠀⠙⠻⡿⠟⠉⠀⣉⢉⣿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠐⢶⣠⡀⢀⣄⡇⠀⠀⠄⢀⡀⠀⣠⠄⢀⠙⠁⠀⠀ ⢡⡀⠀⣹⣦⣤⡤⠀⠶⠆⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣀⣠⣆⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠠⠀⣀⣀⣈⣁⡈⢠⣦⢸⠇⣀⢀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⢠⠇⡴⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠈⠛⠉⠉⠽⠟⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣷⣿⡇⢸⣿⠿⠁⠙⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⢉⠟⠁⠀⠘⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⣀⣰ ⠾⠻⠷⢤⣶⡄⠹⠉⣀⡀⠀⢘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢸⢻⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡿⣟⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠂⠘⣀⠀⠠⠾⢷⢾⣷⡾⠃⠀⠻⡟⠀⠟⠋⣋⠀⠀⠙⠃⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠹⠖⢻⣿⣿ ⢸⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⠂⠀⠛⠇⠈⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣯⠀⠺⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣻⣿⡯⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⣿⠶⠀⣠⡀⣴⡄⢠⡤⣤⣀⡉⡀⠀⣠⣀⣠⡀⣀⠙⣷⠀⢀⠀⠋⣥ ⡘⠃⠙⠋⠠⠤⣧⣴⣤⣴⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⡿⢭⣿⣻⡟⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠇⠐⠹⣦⡄⢻⣧⡙⠻⠟⣟⣻⣿⡿⢸⠁⠈⣻⡟⠀⠉⠀⢘⣰⣿⡟⢛⣅ ⢀⠀⠘⠓⢺⡆⠉⠉⢁⣀⠀⠀⢴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠆⠀⠘⣷⣆⣿⣅⠠⡄⠈⠛⠃⠁⠸⣤⠀⢹⠄⠀⣤⣶⣾⣿⡿⠃⢀⡀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3533 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/23/Windows_fatigue_continues_to_push_thousands_of_gamers_to_switch.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/23/Windows_fatigue_continues_to_push_thousands_of_gamers_to_switch.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Windows fatigue continues to push thousands of gamers to switch to this Linux distro⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 23, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Bazzite⦈_ Bazzite, a Linux distro that has a lot in common with Valve's SteamOS, is designed specifically with gaming in mind, offering a console-like experience that ditches the majority of Windows 11's most annoying features. In recent usage statistics posted to X, Bazzite shared weekly growth of roughly 1.25x over the past 30 days. To put the number in perspective, this means that Bazzite pulls in roughly 50,000 weekly users. In early December, the team behind the gaming-focused Linux distro confirmed that it served over 2 petabytes of data, and then in late November, Bazzite boasted about 780,000 downloads in just one month. If you're unaware, one petabyte is 1,000 terabytes, and each terabyte includes 1,000 gigabytes -- so 2 petabytes is a lot of data.
