The question caught my attention because the user had uploaded an image of his desktop and the look he wanted after adding desktop widgets. The customization bug got me, and I started experimenting with different ways to add desktop widgets to my Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS desktop. There are different reasons for wanting desktop widgets on Linux. I wanted them to give my desktop a personality. Perhaps you want quick- glance weather updates, a resource usage meter, a clock and calendar, notes, a media player, or even something as old school as an RSS feed.

Other times, the PC still technically works, but it’s slow, abandoned, or headed for the recycling pile because its operating system has outlived its usefulness. Linux happens to be excellent at both kinds of rescue. A single USB stick can be enough to recover files, repair an install, or completely reinvent a system that would otherwise collect dust. These aren’t obscure one-off projects or novelty OSs; they’re real distros people actually use, both to rescue broken operating systems, or to give an old PC a new lease on life.

Printing⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 08, 2026 * § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ o ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Hundreds_of_products_now_powered_by_Raspberry_Pi⠀⇛ The latest issue of Raspberry Pi Official Magazine featured half a dozen products from around the world that are helping improve things like driver and passenger safety, drone pilots’ chances of a successful landing, and marine pilots’ navigation accuracy. There are also some treats for fans of vintage computers and gaming, as well as AI photography, in the section below. o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Why_we_have_some_AC_units_on_one_of_our our_internal_networks⠀⇛ Like most portable ACs, these units are normally controlled in person from their front panels (well, top panels). However, these are somewhat industrial AC units and you could get optional network-accessible controllers for them; after thinking about it, we did and then hooked the controllers (and thus the ACs) up to our internal management network. As I mentioned, the use case for networked control of these AC units is to turn them on from home during emergencies. They don't have anywhere near enough cooling power to cover all of the systems we normally have running in our machine rooms, but we might be able to keep a few critical systems up rather than being completely down. o ⚓ Daniël de Kok ☛ ESPHome_Senseair_S88⠀⇛ The Senseair S88 is a pretty great CO₂ sensor for its price. It can be bought locally (NL) for ~22 Euro and it has a stated accuracy of ±40 ppm and ±3% of reading. I built the sensor using a Wemos S2 Mini and this very compact case . o ⚓ Frank Delporte ☛ Single_Board_Computers:_x86_vs_ARM_vs_RISC-V⠀⇛ Ever since I started my #JavaOnRaspberryPi journey in 2019, which resulted in my book “Getting Started with Java on the Raspberry Pi”, I’ve been fascinated with these tiny, inexpensive computers. For 2026, I’ve set one of my goals to experiment with Java on various Single- Board Computers (SBC), going beyond my “Raspberry Pi comfort zone.” The market is flooded with SBCs ranging from budget boards (tens of euros) to powerhouses (hundreds of euros). One of the reasons of this price range is the difference between the processors they use. Raspberry Pi uses an ARM processor, but RISC-V is gaining momentum, while Intel maintains its presence. So before I start experimenting, now is the perfect time to compare these three processor families and understand their differences. o ⚓ Quentin Santos ☛ (No)_alternatives_to_the_RP2350-USB-A⠀⇛ Specifically, I am looking for a cheap dev board with two full USB ports (1 device, 1 host), that could be easily programmable, and would be production-ready for hobbyist projects (if you’re a professional, you’ll just manufacture your own board). * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ What_shaped_computing_education_in_2025_—_and_what comes_next⠀⇛ A special Hello World podcast reflects on key developments in computing education during 2025 and considers trends shaping 2026. o ⚓ Chuck Grimmett ☛ Shopsmith_Mark_V_Single_vs_Double_Bearing Quills⠀⇛ To be certain what kind I had, Charlie and I pulled my quill out and took it apart. Looks like a 1970s single bearing quill, which matches with my machine’s serial number. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Build_A_2K_Resolution_MSLA_3D_Resin_Printer_For Cheap⠀⇛ Have an old Android device collecting dust somewhere that you’d like to put to better use? [Electronoobs] shows us how to make a Masked Stereolithography Apparatus (MSLA) printer for cheap using screens salvaged from old Android phones or tablets. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 726 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/08/Fedora_44_Will_Be_the_First_Distro_to_Adopt_KDE_s_Plasma_Login_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/08/Fedora_44_Will_Be_the_First_Distro_to_Adopt_KDE_s_Plasma_Login_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Fedora 44 Will Be the First Distro to Adopt KDE's Plasma Login Manager⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 08, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇installing_Fedora_Rawhide⦈_ Quoting: Fedora 44 Will Be the First Distro to Adopt KDE's Plasma Login Manager — KDE recently announced that Plasma 6.8 will drop X11 support completely.

A terminal window just displays text; it does not play any videos or render any 3D scenes. So why would it ever need GPU acceleration? The problem is that modern terminal usage is nothing like the old “type a command, get a line of output” workflow anymore. Think of something common, like installing a big app or watching a build scroll by while you wait. The terminal suddenly fills up with lines flying past faster than you can read. Try scrolling back, resizing the window, or switching focus mid-command, and you will often feel it slow down or stutter for a moment. It doesn't happen ALL the time, but it can definitely occur if you're using your terminal as a full- blown IDE. That is where hardware acceleration starts to matter. Instead of your CPU juggling both the actual work and the rendering of thousands of characters, the GPU takes over the drawing entirely. The CPU can focus on actually running your commands, while the GPU handles everything else. It also helps massively with displaying images and other media directly inside the terminal, without the hacks older CPU-bound terminals use to do this. * ⚓ LWN ☛ A_2025_retrospective⠀⇛ The lead prediction last year was that the extensible scheduling class would be "a game changer"; the reality has been a bit more subdued. Development on sched_ext itself continues apace, and there is definitely interesting work happening on specific schedulers. The scx_lavd gaming-oriented scheduler continues to advance, and was the subject of multiple sessions at the recently concluded series of conferences in Tokyo. But it is not clear that ideas from sched_ext are filtering back into the mainline scheduler, and the use of sched_ext schedulers is not, yet, widespread. At least, it is not widespread in any public way; it seems that private use is on the rise. On the other hand, the prediction that Rust code would enter the kernel at an increasing rate has been borne out nicely. In hindsight, the removal of the "experimental" tag from Rust in the kernel was also somewhat predictable, but we missed that one. We predicted that another XZ-like backdoor attempt would come to light; that did not quite happen, though we did see the usual malicious uploads to various language-specific and distribution repositories. There is little doubt that such attempts are ongoing, but they have not yet been discovered. There are signs that single-maintainer projects are being seen as carrying more risk, as predicted. * ⚓ Kushal_Das:_2025_blog_review⠀⇛ After 2005 again in 2025 I wrote only 8 blog posts. The year was difficult in many different ways. But, from September things became a bit better. I could not do a lot of things which I thought I would do, or rather I promised to do. I hoping to catch up on those promises in the coming months. That not only includes blog posts on vairous things I am writing/building, but also I have a huge backlog of photos to work on and publish. * § Events⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Tools_for_successful_documentation_projects⠀⇛ At Open Source Summit Japan 2025, Erin McKean talked about the challenges to producing good project documentation, along with some tooling that can help guide the process toward success. It is a problem that many projects struggle with and one that her employer, Google, gained a lot of experience with from its now- concluded Season of Docs initiative. Through that program, more than 200 case studies of documentation projects were gathered that were mined for common problems and solutions, which led to the tools and techniques that McKean described. She introduced herself as a developer-relations engineer in the Google open-source-programs office; part of her job—""and it's a fun job""—is to ""help open-source projects have better docs"". She was also an honorary fellow of the ""late, lamented"" Society for Technical Communication and runs the online, non-profit Wordnik English-language-dictionary web site. Beyond all of that, she runs the Semicolon Appreciation Society; some of us here at LWN should probably join said society. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ An_X11_Thing!_Your_Favorite_Middle-Click_Paste is_Likely_to_be_Disabled_in_Future_GNOME_Releases [Ed: Mozilla's_Assisted_Suicide,_Assisted_by_GNOME]⠀⇛ Proposals for both GNOME and Firefox would disable the feature by default, but the final decision is still pending. # ⚓ Jonathan_Almeida:_Rebase_all_WIPs_to_the_new_main⠀⇛ A small pet-peeve with fetching the latest main on jujutsu is that I like to move all my WIP patches to the new one. That's also nice because jj doesn't make me fix the conflicts immediately! The solution from a co-worker (kudos to skippyhammond!) is to query all immediate decendants of the previous main after the fetch. # ⚓ Jonathan_Almeida:_Update_jj_bookmarks_to_the_latest revision⠀⇛ Got this one from another colleague as well but it seems like most folks use some version of this daily that it might be good to have this built-in. * § Programming/Development⠀➾ o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ The_best_laptop_for_learning_to_code_is_probably_the one_you_already_have⠀⇛ While you might think you need a high-powered machine to learn to code, your current machine or even an older laptop will likely be all you need to get started. Here's why. § Programming tools will run on low-end machines With memory and other PC hardware getting more expensive, more people will likely have machines of 8GB or less for a while. While you might think this will be a handicap, lower memory won't stop you from installing programming tools. If you're learning to code, you'll likely be working with something like Python. A basic Python installation will already be more than enough, even on a lower-end machine. Python is small enough that it's replaced BASIC on graphing calculators. It's already more than enough with the standard library to run on today's machines. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1293 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/08/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_and_Standards.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/08/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_and_Standards.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software and Standards⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 08, 2026 * ⚓ Eric MacAdie ☛ 2025-12_Austin_Emacs_Meetup⠀⇛ I am not the official spokesperson for the group.

Having everything in one spot and then streaming it from there allows you to follow a single source of truth approach to your media: All the files are there and all the clean metadata with it as well: You stream from this media server only. So decay of data and data loss e.g. from moving from one device to the next should be minimal. * ⚓ Dyne ☛ Introducing_Otari±⠀⇛ Then I developped the current version 2, and worked hard to make it as readable and easy to maintain as I could. I wrote a lot of documentation to help myself to maintain it, and added a number of little features to polish its behaviour as much as I could. I have been using it very often: at least once per week, for about two years now, either to upload images from my phone, or to put on the phone some documents I wanted to take with me. I think I have polished it enough to publish it without too much shame. It is a C application. You only need a C compiler and the GNU version of Make to build it. The principal design goals are: [...] * § Events⠀➾ o ⚓ Nikos_Roussos:_39c3_notes⠀⇛ This is a quick notes post about the recent Chaos Computer_Congress. It was nice to participate again after two years. § Talks All_Sorted_by_Machines_of_Loving_Grace?_"AI", Cybernetics,_and_Fascism_and_how_to_Intervene The talk explores the roots of today's tech fascism and its love for tech. Full of nice rants. o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ GNOME ☛ Daiki_Ueno:_GNOME.Asia_Summit_2025⠀⇛ Last month, I attended the GNOME.Asia_Summit_2025 held at the IIJ office in Tokyo. This was my fourth time attending the summit, following previous events in Taipei (2010), Beijing (2015), and Delhi (2016). As I live near Tokyo, this year’s conference was a unique experience for me: an opportunity to welcome the international GNOME community to my home city rather than traveling abroad. Reconnecting with the community after several years provided a helpful perspective on how our ecosystem has evolved. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Mozilla_Localization_(L10N):_Mozilla_Localization in_2025⠀⇛ § A Year in Data⠀➾ As is tradition, we’re wrapping up 2025 for Mozilla’s localization efforts and offering a sneak peek at what’s in store for 2026 (you can find last year’s_blog_post_here). Pontoon’s metrics in 2025 show a stable picture for both new sign-ups and monthly active users. While we always hope to see signs of strong growth, this flat trend is a positive achievement when viewed against the challenges surrounding community involvement in Open Source, even beyond Mozilla. Thank you to everyone actively participating on Pontoon, Matrix, and elsewhere for making Mozilla localization such an open and welcoming community. # ⚓ Ludovic Hirlimann ☛ Ludovic_Hirlimann:_Are_mozilla's_fork any_good?⠀⇛ To answer that question, we first need to understand how complex, writing or maintaining a web browser is.  * § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Shame_surrounding_spreadsheets⠀⇛ That most recent post struck a chord. I’ve received more email and DMs from you about this idea than anything else I’ve talked about in a while. Save for a few who tell me I’m doing it wrong (I expected as much), the majority of you admit to using spreadsheets in a similar way. I say admit there, because shame was a bit of a common thread throughout these responses. Gabor’s comment was representitive: [...] * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Raymond Camden ☛ Adding_Hardcover.app_Data_to_Eleventy⠀⇛ Ok, you aren't here (I assume) to peruse my books and see how few books I consume (teenage Ray would be embarrassed by the number). The biggest reason I switched to Hardcover was because of their API, which I wanted to use to display it on my Now page. Again, I don't honestly think anyone cares what I'm reading/listening to/ watching, but I think it's cool and that's all that matters on my little piece of the Internet. * § FSF / Software Freedom⠀➾ o ⚓ Rodrigo Ghedin ☛ Your_digital_life_isn’t_yours:_The_hidden_battle for_software_freedom⠀⇛ I am very sympathetic to free software. (And I regret not using more software of this kind.) On the Free Software Foundation blog, Jason Self reinforces the importance of the four freedoms of FOSS in the face of machine learning — which, in this context, is confused with what is commonly referred to as “artificial intelligence.” He defines it as follows: [...] * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Mathieu ☛ XMPP_and_metadata⠀⇛ I had the pleasure of giving a talk on "XMPP and Metadata" during the last Chaos Communication Congress, in the Critical Decentralization Cluster area. It was my first public presentation in a very long while (also in english), so the talk went okay-ish at best. The end of the year was also hectic and I did not manage to prepare or rehearse as much as I would have liked to. This blog post will be a longer, more complete version of the talk. You can nonetheless find the talk slides on the CDC pretalx. Thanks a lot to the people who proofread the blog post to fix stuff or suggest additional content. This was about metadata, but also generally data retention and what the server sees in general. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1524 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/08/Games_Humble_Bundle_More_Gaming_Handhelds_Running_GNU_Linux_Ste.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/08/Games_Humble_Bundle_More_Gaming_Handhelds_Running_GNU_Linux_Ste.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Humble Bundle, More Gaming Handhelds Running GNU/Linux, SteamOS 3.7.19⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 08, 2026 * ⚓ Humble_Bundle_have_a_nice_collection_of_games_for_handhelds_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Gaming on the go doesn't have to be boring, so check out the Decked Out Collection Humble Bundle for some interesting picks.

Thanks to the rise of DLSS, FSR and XeSS we're seeing more and more AAA-level developers use them as a crutch for performance, at times setting them as an actual requirement to get the games actually playable. * ⚓ SteamOS_3.7.19_arrives_with_a_bunch_of_essential_bug_fixes_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Valve have released the latest stable update for SteamOS version 3.7.19, bringing a bunch of bug fixes to improve the Linux gaming platform.

Only 2 games, sure, but one of them is none other than My Winter Car, which is the sequel to the now famous My Summer Car - a survival game where your goal is to build and maintain an old car. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ New_Steam_Games_with_Native_GNU/Linux_Clients, including_DunHero_-_2026-01-07_Edition⠀⇛ Between 2025-12-31 and 2026-01-07 there were 27 New Steam games released with Native GNU/Linux clients. For reference, during the same time, there were 259 games released for backdoored Windows on Steam, so the GNU/Linux versions represent about 10.4 % of total released titles. There’s only a few in this week that are worth presenting to you, with DunHero standing out from the lot. * ⚓ Godot Engine ☛ Dev_snapshot:_Godot_4.6_beta_3⠀⇛ New year, new build! * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Rugby_Analytics_with_R:_Complete_Guide_to_Performance_Analysis in_Rugby_Union_and_League⠀⇛ Rugby is a sport defined by collisions, structure, and constant tactical adaptation. Unlike many other invasion sports, rugby alternates between highly structured moments—scrums, lineouts, restarts—and extended passages of chaotic open play. Each phase generates rich performance data: tackles, rucks, carries, kicks, meters gained, penalties conceded, turnovers, and spatial changes in territory. Despite this richness, rugby analytics has historically lagged behind other sports, especially in terms of open, reproducible analytical workflows. This gap presents a clear opportunity. R provides a complete environment for rugby performance analysis: data acquisition, cleaning, modeling, visualization, and automated reporting. For analysts, sports scientists, and coaches, R enables evidence- based decision-making that goes far beyond traditional statistics and subjective video review. * ⚓ Dan Q ☛ Visualising_Forged_In_The_Dark_probabilities⠀⇛ I was having trouble visualising the dice probabilities for some Forged in the Dark-based1 RPGs2, so I drew myself a diagram.

A new native NVIDIA GeForce NOW app for Linux is in the works, giving users a native experience rather than relegating them to a web browser. Amazon Fire TV Stick owners will also gain a native app for NVIDIA GeForce NOW. The game streaming service already has native apps for Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, iOS, Android, and select virtual reality devices and smart TVs. NVIDIA announced the new apps at CES 2026. The company also shared that its GeForce RTX 5080-powered servers are now live globally for Ultimate members. Those servers allow up to 5K streaming at 120 FPS or 1080p streaming at 360 FPS. * ⚓ Paul Thurrott ☛ Nvidia_Announces_DLSS_4.5_and_GeForce_Now_Apps_for Linux_and_Fire_TV⠀⇛ Nvidia announced yesterday at CES DLSS 4.5, a new version of its AI-powered upscaling and frame generation technology that’s now available in beta. The company also announced the upcoming release of new GeForce Now apps for Linux PCs and select Fire TV sticks from Amazon. You may remember that Nvidia announced DLSS 4.0 last year alongside its GeForce RTX 50 series.

For example, Kubuntu will only install the Wayland version by default, and KDE Plasma will scrap X11 support in 2027. Even our local Linux guru, Rich Edmonds, ditched X11 in favor of Wayland. From what I've seen, this move toward Wayland has had a mixed reception. Some people prefer Wayland over X11, while others find that Wayland breaks their apps and renders their workflow unusable. So, as Wayland begins its slow and gradual march through the Linux space, some people have taken it on themselves to keep the X server tech running. Such is the case of Phoenix, which, while it doesn't have a lot to show just yet, wants to keep the X11 flame burning despite Wayland's rollout. * § Docker⠀➾ o ⚓ XDA ☛ Docker_Desktop_is_convenient,_but_native_containers_taught me_how_Docker_actually_works⠀⇛ Docker Desktop offers the convenience of a single GUI- driven app for experimenting, testing, and deploying containers. It’s a no-nonsense tool for quickly spinning up containers on Windows and macOS. I started my self- hosting journey with Docker Desktop, and everything felt almost magical at first. Running the same containers natively revealed their true nature. Containers have processes that interact directly with the host operating system’s kernel. In that sense, native Docker felt like driving a manual car: more control, more engagement, and a better understanding of what’s happening under the hood. Meanwhile, Docker Desktop felt like an automatic car that simply gets me to the destination. Besides, the difference between the two approaches turned out to be more significant than I initially expected. * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Lenovo_brings_handheld-favorite_SteamOS_to_the flagship_Legion_Go_2_—_the_AMD_Z2_Extreme_gets_official_SteamOS support_for_the_first_time⠀⇛ Lenovo is bringing official SteamOS support to AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor for the first time with an updated Legion Go 2. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ virt-manager_works_in_EasyOS⠀⇛ The guys have figured it out here: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=16193 I've created /etc/udev/rules.d/65-kvm.rules: #20260107 ref: https://forum.puppylinux.com/ viewtopic.php?p=162982#p162982 KERNEL=="kvm", NAME="%k", GROUP="kvm", MODE="0660" Also created /etc/init.d/tun-module: #!/bin/sh #ref: https://forum.puppylinux.com/ viewtopic.php?p=162990#p162990 case "$1" start) modprobe tun ;; esac ...but its flags are set with execute off.

As a practical matter, however, it needs to do that in a reasonable amount of time. At the 2025 Linux Plumbers Conference, Mahé Tardy and Paul Chaignon gave a detailed explanation (slides; video) of the main mechanism that it uses to accomplish that: state pruning. They focused on two optimizations that help reduce the number of paths the verifier needs to check, and discussed some of the complications the optimizations introduced to the verifier's code. * ⚓ A_high-memory_elimination_timeline_for_the_kernel⠀⇛ Arnd Bergmann began his 2025 Linux Plumbers Conference session on the future of 32-bit support in the Linux kernel by saying that it was to be a followup to his September talk on the same topic. The focus this time, though, was on the kernel's "high memory" abstraction, and when it could be removed. It seems that the kernel community will need to support 32-bit systems for some time yet, even if it might be possible to remove some functionality, including support for large amounts of memory on those systems, more quickly. * ⚓ A_visualizer_for_BPF_program_state⠀⇛ When the verifier rejects a BPF program, it produces a verification log with a mixture of different information: the exact BPF instructions executed on the failing path, calls to any kernel functions or BPF subprograms, line numbers from the debugging information in the program, and information about the contents of different registers and stack slots. This technically contains all of the information needed to understand the failure, but in an ""incomprehensible"" form, Solodrai said. The logs don't include information about the previous states of registers and stack slots, for example, so tracing through a log could involve remembering context from a million instructions ago, which humans cannot do. [...] The pane showing the current state of the BPF program also uses colors to indicate which registers and stack slots were read from or written to, and includes visualizations for various different kinds of data, such as scalars and values from BPF maps. The BPF verifier uses a kind of static analysis based on abstract interpretation, so a register could hold a specific value such as "4", but it could also hold "an unknown number that is a multiple of 4 between 12 and 340". The visualizer does its best to show the simplest form of the value in a register. * ⚓ Episode_29_of_the_Dirk_and_Linus_show⠀⇛ Linus Torvalds is famously averse to presenting prepared talks, but the wider community is always interested in what he has to say about the condition of the Linux kernel. So, for some time now, his appearances have been in the form of an informal conversation with Dirk Hohndel. At the 2025 Open Source Summit Japan, the pair followed that tradition for the 29th time. Topics covered include the state of the development process, what Torvalds actually does, and how machine-learning tools might fit into the kernel project. Hohndel began by noting that Torvalds is now a video star. He was referring to the "Linus x Linus" video that was published at the beginning of December, which is rapidly approaching four-million views. Torvalds said that he enjoys being able to ""do these strange things"" on occasion. He hastened to add that once was enough, though. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣞⠛⠛⠋⠩⣭⣽⣿⣷⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣶⡿⠛⣉⠵⠂⢀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣖⣴⣿⡿⢋⡤⠚⡁⠼⢷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡰⣿⠿⠋⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠊⠀⠀⠐⠋⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣮⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣟⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣟⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⣀⣙⣻⣭⣤⣤⣦⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⡂⡻⠛⠛⠀⠀⢨⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠴⢋⣍⠳⠄⠀⠂⠉⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣷⣾⡆⠀⠀⢻⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣴⣿⣿⣷⠆⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠐⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣧⣦⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⢋⣁⣤⡤⠘⠉⣽⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣾⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣄⣠⣶⣾⣿⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⣸⠻⡛⢻⢃⣉⡉⠻⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣾⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⢿⣄⣿⣼⠀⠀⠈⠁⠌⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⢻⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠉⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠛⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠙⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠒⠄⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠈⣡⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠉⢉⣽⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣤⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣀⣿⢤⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢨⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢭⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢩⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣺⣿⣾⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢺⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢼⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⣻⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠈⠉⠉⠁⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠋⠉⠋⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠈⠈⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2313 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/08/Kernel_deadlock_and_splitting_a_Linux_kernel_package.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/08/Kernel_deadlock_and_splitting_a_Linux_kernel_package.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Kernel deadlock and splitting a Linux kernel package⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 08, 2026 * ⚓ QuestDB ☛ How_a_Kernel_Bug_Froze_My_Machine:_Debugging_an_Async- profiler_Deadlock⠀⇛ I've been a Linux user since the late 90s, starting with Slackware on an underpowered AMD K6. Over the years I've hit plenty of bugs, but the last decade has been remarkably stable - until a kernel bug started freezing my machine whenever I used async-profiler. I'm not a kernel developer, but I found myself poking around kernel source code to understand the problem better and figure out what was going on under the hood. * ⚓ Martijn Braam ☛ Splitting_a_Linux_kernel_package⠀⇛ My initial idea was to split of kernel modules for stuff you'd generally never use ina separate package but then the issue becomes deciding what the stuff is that should be in there. And if I need anything at all from those packages I once again have to pull in everything... The logical solution to this is to split it in the smallest chunks instead. Have one package for every module in the kernel. This would most likely have quite a bit of overhead but luckily the apk package manager from Alpine Linux is pretty fast, so installing many small packages shouldn't be an issue. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2363 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/08/Linux_and_BSD_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/08/Linux_and_BSD_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Linux and BSD Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 08, 2026 * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Tux Digital ☛ This_Week_in_Linux_330:_Arch,_Bazzite,_elementary, Mint,_Kali,_Parrot_OS,_Qubes_OS,_&_more_2026_GNU/Linux_news⠀⇛ * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ Video Cardz ☛ AMD_highlights_ROCm_7.2.2_at_CES_2026_with_Ryzen_AI 400_support_and_a_single_Windows_plus_Linux_release⠀⇛ * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Help_button_in_BootManager_doesn't_work⠀⇛ Forum member don570 reported this: https://forum.puppylinux.com/ viewtopic.php?p=162959#p162959 Yes, /etc/init.d/README.txt is missing.

A robust, reliable way to update your PC's software and core libraries that doesn't come with a lengthy terms and conditions statement. On the surface, comparing Linux's package managers to the Microsoft Store on Windows feels pretty unfair, and that's because it is. One is a decades-old system for managing all software on your system, and the other is an app store. Windows treats its apps like a storefront, which speaks to the philosophical gap that continues to widen between the two operating systems, but even when it comes to real-world use, package managers on Linux beat the brakes off of the Microsoft Store, and it's not even close.

High, medium, low priority doesn’t tell you enough about the problem. “What needs to be obvious?” is a better question to ask than “What’s high priority?” Further, priority doesn’t tell you anything about cost.

These imbeciles want you to use a “smart” phone app to control access to your irs.gov account. Oh, not just access, to do things like request a PIN and every other thing you can do on the irs.gov website. Real System Architects and real Software Engineers would have shot this idea (and possibly the person uttering it) before the sentence was finished. Yes, I have written about Agile many times. I’ve even written a book on Agile.

While not everyone’s happy about this, the next phase focuses on scaling Rust across drivers and subsystems without alienating maintainers or fragmenting the community.

As a writer who constantly tests obscure apps and system-corrupting hacks, my test PC has become an indispensable part of my workflow.

Have you seen things like $0 and $EUID and wondered what they mean? Or what the difference is between $UID and $EUID? I'll cover these and more: what they do and why they're important. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ A_gentle_introduction_to_Bash_functions⠀⇛ If you're just beginning Bash scripting, you may often find yourself repeating the same commands again and again in your scripts, but a better way exists. I will explain what "DRY" means and how you should use functions to do it. When I wrote my very first program on Windows, it was a batch script. I essentially winged it, and with minimal understanding, I wrote a very literal set of instructions, peppered with GOTO statements, and repeated myself enough to make the script unreadable. In programming, DRY means "don't repeat yourself." Functions are the mechanism to achieve that, and I'll show you how. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Why_printf_is_superior_to_echo_in_Linux_scripts⠀⇛ One of the first commands new Linux users learn is echo. Need to print some text or debug a script? Add an echo statement. However, from my usage, I've found printf to be far more powerful. Once you understand its basics, it becomes a safer default for printing output in ​scripts. § Why echo isn’t as simple as it looks One of the biggest issues with echo is that its behavior isn’t fully standardized. Different shells handle it differently, especially when it comes to options and escape sequences. For example, whether echo -n actually suppresses the trailing newline or just prints it verbatim depends on the shell. The same goes for escape characters like \n or \t. They may work in one environment and be printed literally in another. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 9_easy_Linux_terminal_commands_that_make_you_faster_right away⠀⇛ If you don't have a lot of experience working with the terminal, it might seem like an obtuse or intimidating black box. What you might not know is that the terminal can be fun to use. So much so, that you're inclined to use the command-line over a GUI whenever possible. There is definitely a learning curve and the more you work with the terminal, the more fluent you become. However, there are some commands that everyone should know. Scroll through the command history Except for a handful of shells, pretty much every modern Linux shell supports history scrolling. Basically, you don't have to re-type commands over and over. Instead, you can just use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through previously executed commands. Ctrl+P and Ctrl+N work too, for pulling up the previous and next commands. Once you find your target command, you can just press the Enter key to instantly execute it. Or, you can modify and edit it before executing with the Enter key. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ A_beginner's_guide_on_expanding_Bash_arrays_and_word splitting⠀⇛ Have you ever been confused by the different ways to use Bash arrays? Or perhaps you're just learning Bash, and they're next on your list? Bash arrays can act strangely depending on how you use them. I will explain the confusing circumstances you may encounter when doing so. If you've written Bash scripts in the past, you've probably encountered the for loop. Their syntax is a little awkward, and the different approaches confused me until I understood the four fundamental rules. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2953 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/08/Red_Hat_Elections_in_Fedora_systemd_Update_and_Flathub_Record.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/08/Red_Hat_Elections_in_Fedora_systemd_Update_and_Flathub_Record.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat: Elections in Fedora, systemd Update, and Flathub Record⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 08, 2026 * ⚓ Tomasz_Torcz:_I_Voted,_F43_edition⠀⇛ I've cast my votes in Fedora Engineering Steering Comittee. The voting closes tomorrow. As usual, I've read interview with the candidates, and then decided on my preferences. Red Bait employees get a minus, new faces get plus. There are exceptions, it's not a hard rule! That's one of the way I contribute to Fedora. * ⚓ LWN ☛ What's_new_in_systemd_v259⠀⇛ The systemd v259 release was announced on December 17, just three months after v258. It is a more modest release but still includes a number of important changes such as a new option for the run0 command (an alternative to sudo), ability to mount user home directories from the host in virtual machines, as well as under-the-hood changes with dlopen() for library linking, the ability to compile systemd with musl libc, and more. Systemd v258 was something of a mammoth release; it took more than ten months to develop and included an unusually large number of new features and changes, which we covered in two installments (part one, part two). When it was released on September 17, Lennart Poettering said the project hoped to speed up its release cycle and push out smaller, more frequent releases—so far, so good. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Flathub_breaks_its_previous_record_of_yearly_app_downloads_for 2025⠀⇛ There are a few different ways to get software downloaded on your Linux distro, but if you're looking for a way to grab an app without installing it on your system and without any prerequisites, Flathub is the way to go. It's especially useful if you're on an immutable distro, because you can just grab whatever apps you want without needing to layer anything. Every year since 2018, Flathub has done an annual look back at what it achieved and how people used the service. Well, it's good news for fans of the service, as Flathub has once again smashed its app download records by 20% of its prior peak. Plus, the developers shared some cool insights into how we used Flathub over the last year. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3027 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/08/Red_Hat_is_Promoting_Slop_and_Back_Doors_Sold_as_Confidential.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/08/Red_Hat_is_Promoting_Slop_and_Back_Doors_Sold_as_Confidential.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat is Promoting Slop and Back Doors (Sold as "Confidential")⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 08, 2026 * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Manage_AI-powered_inventory_with_Red_Bait_Lightspeed_MCP⠀⇛ Red_Hat_Lightspeed is transforming how IT professionals interact with complex operational data.

This article shares practical examples of how you can perform inventory-related operations using Red Bait Lightspeed and MCP. The core benefit is its ability to turn natural-language prompts into structured inventory API requests.

This has been a fun project, but as I worked with it, I realized that there wasn’t really a single resource available that would take someone through how to actually do it. So here I present to you: How to self-host a monitoring system based around the Grafana stack. If you follow the steps I describe here, you should end up with a working solution that may or may not fit your needs. * ⚓ Mikael Hansson ☛ Server_Monitoring_with_Grafana⠀⇛ I couldn’t find any good resource describing the complete process, so I’ve documented my setup, and am sharing the documentation via my Projects page. * ⚓ Kubernetes Blog ☛ Kubernetes_v1.35:_A_Better_Way_to_Pass_Service Account_Tokens_to_CSI_Drivers⠀⇛ If you maintain a CSI driver that uses service account tokens, Kubernetes v1.35 brings a refinement you'll want to know about. Since the introduction of the TokenRequests_feature, service account tokens requested by CSI drivers have been passed to them through the volume_context field. While this has worked, it's not the ideal place for sensitive information, and we've seen instances where tokens were accidentally logged in CSI drivers. Kubernetes v1.35 introduces a beta solution to address this: CSI Driver Opt-in for Service Account Tokens via Secrets Field. This allows CSI drivers to receive service account tokens through the secrets field in NodePublishVolumeRequest, which is the appropriate place for sensitive data in the CSI specification. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3149 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/08/Sick_of_Microslop_New_Linux_distro_could_win_over_Windows_11_ha.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/08/Sick_of_Microslop_New_Linux_distro_could_win_over_Windows_11_ha.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Sick of Microslop?

New Linux distro could win over Windows 11 haters — This is markedly different from current Linux efforts on the Windows front, which include Linux distros that are capable of running Windows apps – it goes much further. Ultimately, Loss32 is the whole kaboodle of Windows – File Explorer and so forth – sat on top of Linux. It's also distinct to ReactOS, although this is a similar idea in terms of being 'Windows without Microsoft'. However, the developer notes: "ReactOS tries to reimplement the Windows NT kernel, and that has always been its Achilles heel, holding it back from a hardware compatibility and stability standpoint. Read_on More here: * ⚓ What_if_Linux_ran_Windows…_and_meant_it?_Meet_Loss32⠀⇛ What if, rather than make a Linux distro that can run Windows apps, you built the whole distro around Windows binaries instead? Loss32 is the most gleefully deranged idea for how to put together a Linux OS that we think we have ever read about in three and a half decades… but it's not impossible. Not only could it be done, there could be real advantages to doing it this way. The idea comes from a blogger and developer known as Hikari no Yume ("Dream of Light" in Japanese) who made it public at the 39th Chaos Communication Congress in Germany at the end of December. The gist of the idea is to run the whole user environment, desktop and all, inside WINE. So it's something like a bare- metal WINE sitting on top of the Linux kernel, with just enough plumbing to connect them up. This is significantly different from the current way, which is to run a completely Linux-based stack – the kernel, an init, a userland, a Linux display system, and a Linux desktop, and then run Windows programs inside that. ⠀⠀⠈⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠛⠛⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡆⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⣠⣤⣴⣶⣬⣄⠀⠀⠈⠙⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⡆⠀⠀⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⢿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠁⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣞⣃⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣶⣦⡀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⣿⣿⣿⣋⣻⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠛⠿⣿⡍⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⢸⣧⣴⣾⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠸⢿⡀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⢸⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣏⢚⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣼⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠰⡿⠀⣿⣿⢿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠉⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠀⠉⣛⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⡋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣷⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠀⠀⠲⠶⣄⠙⠿⣿⡇⠀⢻⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄⠀⣿⣿⣿⡇⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣽⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣶⡀⠀⠀⣸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⣾⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⣿⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⡙⢿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠉⠁⢺⣯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⢀⣠⣤⣴⣾⣏⠲⣲⣧⣤⣶⣿⣿⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠙⠛⠓⠀⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣤⣤⡀⠀⣿⡿⠟⠋⠁⠀⢠⣴⡿⠟⠀⠙⠳⣶⣤⣀⣸⣿⣿⠿⠿⠋⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠿⣿⣷⣄⣀⣀⣘⣿⣿⣿⣃⣤⣤⣤⡀⠀⢰⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⡄⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣧⣀⡀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡦⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣾⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣄⡀⢀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⢸⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠛⠛⠛⣫⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⠏⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡙⢻⣿⣿⣷⡾⠂⠀⠠⣤⣦⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠙⢓⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⠉⠉⠉⠀⠈⠛⠁⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣧⡄⠻⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣃⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⣀⣀⣀⣀⣴⣾⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣧⠀⠙⣿⣿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡅⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣶⣶⣦⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠂⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣀⡀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣴⣶⣦⣤⣾⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⢠⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⣃⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣦⠙⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣌⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠻⣿⣿⠋⠛⠉⠛⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3246 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/08/Simon_Batt_s_Valnet_Journey_Through_GNU_Linux_Distros_Including.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/08/Simon_Batt_s_Valnet_Journey_Through_GNU_Linux_Distros_Including.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Simon Batt's (Valnet) Journey Through GNU/ Linux Distros, Including One on a Floppy Disk⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 08, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Floppinux⦈_ * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_stopped_installing_Linux_distros_for_fun_and_finally_settled_on one⠀⇛ It has been just over seven months since I made the jump from Windows to Linux. At first, it was nothing more than a fun experiment; I had read that PewDiePie had made the move to Linux Mint, and with the OS in the spotlight and people everywhere giving it a go, I thought I'd hop on the train and see what's what. I had originally tried Ubuntu around 2010 and hated it, so now that fifteen years had passed, it was worth giving open-source OSes a second try. What followed was a wild but fun whirlwind tour of Linux distros. I quickly felt that Linux Mint wasn't for me, and so, I started distro-hopping aggressively. I tried Fedora, Ubuntu, openSUSE, EndeavourOS, Arch Linux, KDE Linux, and even a distro that could run off a USB. I would install one, install another, go back to the first one, dual-boot two distros, and then wipe that and install the first one again. At the time, it was very fun to explore all the options available to me, but the more I fresh-installed Linux, the more I noticed that my internal needle kept pointing toward one distro in particular. Finally, I decided to do one more wipe, installed my fave distro, and will now stay on it for years to come. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_ran_a_modern-day_Linux_distro_off_a_floppy_disk,_and_here's_how it_went⠀⇛ I'm still very much a Linux newbie, but I do like pushing myself out of my comfort zone every so often. After all, if I had never explored past what I'm used to, I'd still be using Windows to this day. So, when I heard that someone ran Linux off a floppy disk, I was intrigued. It was definitely way out of my skill level, but I was intrigued. It didn't help that, a while ago, I had purchased a USB floppy disk drive and a single floppy disk when I ran Kolibri OS off of one.

Developed by Matt Hartley, EasySpeak is free, open source, and designed to turn voice commands into action. EasySpeak should fill a notable gap in the Linux ecosystem where many existing voice tools are either proprietary, reliant on outdated X11 technology, or dependent on cloud services. This project is built from the ground up to be Wayland-native, meaning it works correctly on contemporary Linux desktops where older X11 tools often fail. EasySpeak is designed for anyone with repetitive strain injury (RSI), specific accessibility needs, or those who simply need to operate their computer when their hands are busy. You can activate the entire system hands-free by simply saying the wake word, "Hey Jarvis."

If so, do you depend on an app to keep those notes organized and available? If so, you’ve maybe been using Evernote as your go-to, but clearly that option has become far less attractive since it was acquired by Italy-based Bending Spoons a couple of years back. On top of that, Evernote’s attempt at a Linux port only lasted a short while — even then it was buggy — which has forced Linux users to work with the web-based version. I don’t know about you, but I do not need yet another tab open on my browser. After searching for a new note-taking app, my journey took me to Joplin. Joplin is an open-source cross-platform app (released under the AGPL and Joplin Server Personal Use licenses) that is available for Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS. It’s free, has a ton of features, a well-designed UI, and can sync with Joplin Cloud, Dropbox, or OneDrive, and other storage services.

I did, and it took me back - here's how | ZDNET — Ah, KDE 1. I remember it well. I was there, back in the beta days of the original KDE desktop, and it was exciting. All of a sudden, Linux wasn't under the thrall of CDE and Fvwm95. We had something modern on the horizon, and it looked to be special. I still remember the first time I tried KDE 1. I felt as if I'd been beamed into the future of Linux, and what I saw would usher in a new era for the open-source desktop. KDE 1 was light-years ahead of what the Linux desktop had been, and there was nothing that could top it. Those were days, for certain. I won't call them "the good old days" because I try to live in the now as much as possible. What I will say is that there was definitely an air of palpable excitement in the Linux community. The development of KDE 1 began in 1996. Thirty years later, there's now a project that aims to bring that old-school desktop back to life. The project in question is called MiDesktop. If you're a fan of old-school Linux charm, you're gonna love this.

This web server has been there for a very long time and its URLs have spread everywhere, and in the process it's become quite popular for some things.
