In the Linux world, you're in-charge. Your computer with ZorinOS will never force an update on you. You can launch the Update utility from the Start menu, and it'll automatically fetch all available updates and install them. Windows can't install updates while it's running, but Linux can. You can do your work and the updates will be installed in the background. That way, you'll never be locked out of your computer by an unexpected update.

Most people who install Linux already have more computer literacy than average, and the platform has long encouraged experimentation and construction in a way macOS and Windows generally aren’t designed for. Traditional Linux distributions often ask more of their users as well, requiring at least a passing familiarity with the terminal and the operating system’s internals especially once something inevitably breaks. In recent years, however, a different design philosophy has been gaining ground. Immutable Linux distributions like Fedora Silverblue, openSUSE MicroOS, and NixOS dramatically reduce the chances an installation behaves erratically by making direct changes to the underlying system either impossible or irrelevant. SteamOS fits squarely into this category as well. While it’s best known for its console-like gaming mode it also includes a fully featured Linux desktop, which is a major part of its appeal and the reason I bought a Steam Deck in the first place. For someone coming from Windows or macOS, this desktop provides a familiar, fully functional environment: web browsing, media playback, and other basic tools all work out of the box.

But after falling down the Windows Server rabbit hole a few weeks ago, I tried to set up Hyper-V on a couple of systems just to gauge its utility in a typical consumer-grade experimentation lab. While I wouldn’t recommend basing your entire home lab on Hyper-V, it’s surprisingly fun to tinker with.

However, few things are as exciting as running a full-fledged Windows 11 virtual machine and working on it as though it were a bare-metal instance of Microsoft’s uber-popular OS. I’ve been trying to pivot to a Linux-based setup for the last couple of months, and with Proxmox providing terrific virtualization provisions for Windows 11, it’s a solid option for the few apps and coding tasks where I need a Windows system. Heck, it’s even better for folks like yours truly, who don’t trust Windows 11 and want a clean way to run the OS. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 528 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/13/Distributions_and_Operating_Systems_The_Distroless_Linux_Future.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/13/Distributions_and_Operating_Systems_The_Distroless_Linux_Future.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Distributions and Operating Systems: "The Distroless Linux Future", Haiku Activity & Contract Report, Init System in Artix Linux, and Fedora GNU/Linux in the Air⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 13, 2026 * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ The_Distroless_Linux_Future_May_Be_Coming⠀⇛ Over the decades the number of Linux distributions has effectively exploded, from a handful in the late ’90s to quite literally hundreds today, not counting minor variations. There lately seems to be a counter-movement brewing in response to this fragmentation, with Project Bluefin’s Distroless project being the latest addition here. Also notable are KDE’s efforts, with KDE Linux as its own top-down KDE-based distro, but now with a switch to BuildStream from Arch likely as a distroless move. * ⚓ HaikuOS ☛ Haiku_Activity_&_Contract_Report,_December_2025⠀⇛ This report covers hrev59188 through hrev59261. axeld fixed light-mode colors in the Sudoku application (though dark-mode still needs work.) korli fixed SIGUSR1 being incorrectly masked for child processes of Terminal (like shells.)

One of the most visible changes in this release is the formal deprecation of support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.x. While compatibility remains available for now, the project explains that these older versions lack proper ANSI escape code support and several APIs required by Fastfetch. According to devs, maintaining workarounds has increased code complexity, prompting the introduction of a dedicated CMake option, ENABLE_WIN7_COMPAT. Prebuilt Windows binaries distributed via Scoop and Winget are now built without this compatibility layer, targeting Windows 10 version 1607 and newer. Legacy support will be fully removed in version 2.60.

It’s already a fairly good music player which will improve a lot with bug-fixing and maturity. Its UI is not to my personal state but it’s perfectly usable. And it offers features you don’t see in other Linux music players such as access to the internet archive, a world map view, and more.

MAME version 0.284 has arrived just before the end of 2025, complete with support for new systems and games, and many bug fixes. First, the new MAME update includes a few new working systems. It can now emulate the Brainchild PLS-1000, an educational handheld console from the 1990s. There's also support for the Jammin' arcade cabinet game, which was developed by Atari but never released, based around the same hardware as the 1981 Donkey Kong arcade cabinet. A prototype of the game was discovered on old VAX backup tapes earlier this month, and it's now playable in MAME. * ⚓ XDA ☛ You_have_to_beat_this_ingenious_UEFI-based_game_to_boot_your_OS, or_else⠀⇛ For something that's vital for my PC to boot properly, I don't give the GRUB menu much of my attention. I usually hit the power button and wander off to make a hot drink or perform a chore, then return to my OS all booted up and ready to go. But what if that wasn't the case? What if, instead, your UEFI demanded your unfettered attention, else it won't let you boot into your operating system at all? Well, someone has made a game that does just that, and you can give it a try right now, if you dare. * ⚓ XDA ☛ One_of_the_best_Linux_distros_for_gaming_just_got_a_handy_Wi-Fi stability_update⠀⇛ Once a joke in the gaming scene, Linux distros have made leaps and bounds over the past few years. It has gotten to the point where we're seeing entire gaming-oriented distros appear, including, but not exclusive to, the Steam Deck's operating system, SteamOS. One distro that we've seen crop up time and time again is Bazzite, a Fedora Atomic-based distro that offers an alternative OS to using SteamOS. And to help bring in 2026, the Bazzite team has released an update that should help solve any Wi-Fi woes you've had with the distro, alongside some nice performance tweaks. ⣿⣿⣿⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣖⣹⣿⣆⢻⣽⣿⣿⠿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠻⠟⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣏⣉⠙⢻⡀⠄⠚⠙⠁⠀⠈⢳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⠈⠳⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⣾⣇⡨⢭⣿⣿⣿⠿⠷⠈⠟⣿⣿⣿⣏⠀⠀⣀⣀⢀⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢀⣮⣯⣿⣟⣭⣄⣠⣤⣴⣶⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣝⠉⠁⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⠟⠿⠿⠿⠿⠷⠿⠿⠿⠆⠀⠀⠩⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣖⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢀⡀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⠤⠀⠤⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠈⢀⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⢀⢠⠀⠀⠀⣿⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⢰ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣂⣀⣀⣀⣀⣴⡄⢸⡿⣿⣦⣴⠯⡦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠛⠛⡛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠾⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢬⡤⡀⠀⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣷⣬⣿⣿⣿⣦⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠸ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠰⣜⣯⣵⠟⣽⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⡁⠠⠎⣰⣶⣆⣽⠟⣹⣿⢿⣿⡆⠀⠀⣷⠄⠀⠀⠀⢸⣶⣟⡆⠀⠀⢾⣿⣿⣿⠄⣿⡆⣿⣿⣖⡈⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⣴ ⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠘⠋⠋⣽⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠛⠀⡍⠀⢣⡘⢿⣿⡟⡰⠚⣜⠀⠛⠃⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠇⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⢶⠄⢸⡇⢹⣟⣭⣼⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠤⡀⢠⠀⠀⠤⠠⠄⠅⠀⠠⠰⠰⠀⠆⠁⠀⠘⠞⣷⠲⢟⠟⣁⣀⣠⣤⣤⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠃⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⢠⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠐⠒⠓⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⣀⡀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⣾⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣤⣴⡄⢠⣶⣶⡆⣿⣿⠀⠛⠛⠛⠉⠛⠛⢛⣛⢛⠛⣛⣛⣋⣙⣛⡛⢿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣠⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣦⠀⠄⠠⠤⣤⣠⣲⣦⠂⠐⠀⠀⠀⣴⡋⣿⡿⣿⣿⣀⢠⣤⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡿⠄⢸⠃⣿⣷⡆⠴⠀⠀⠨⡕⣦⣀⡹⣿⣖⣿⣯⣻⢿⣅⣋⠧⡙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣺⣉⣹⣿⣿⣿⣷⣮⣿⣿⠀⠀⢀⣴⣭⣿⣿⡅⣽⠇⠀⠀⣀⣯⣿⣯⣭⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⡆⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣗⣿⠃⠀⠹⠿⠟⢰⡆⠀⠀⠀⠘⠙⣡⣼⣟⣷⠖⢓⣨⠜⢻⣀⠁⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⡿⠿⠿⠏⢛⣫⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠘⠿⢸⣿⣿⣾⠋⠅⠀⠀⢹⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠃⠉⠉⠀⠁⠉⡈⡉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠈⢏⠂⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⢹⣊⣿⠀⠀⠉⠀⣦⣤⡀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢀⣀⣉⣁⡀⠘⠋⠉⠙⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢀⡀⢀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠤⠤⠒⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠈⠖⠀⠂⠘⠃⠀⠈⠁⠁⠀⠀⠈⠷⠐⠂⢅⣠⠌⠺⠿⠿⠶⠤⠤⠞⢛⡛⠁⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠂⠒⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠃⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡙⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠘⠃⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⡠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡠⠤⠤⠤⠄⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⡶⡶⠦⠤⠬⠛⠛⢛⣛⣛⣉⡉⠩⠥⠤⠤⠐⠒⠒⢒⣒⣉⣉⣉⣭⣥⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣤⣘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠷⠶⠖⣓⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1241 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/13/GNU_Linux_Exceeding_4_in_Djibouti.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/13/GNU_Linux_Exceeding_4_in_Djibouti.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux Exceeding 4% in Djibouti⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 13, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Desktop_Operating_System_Market_Share_Djibouti⦈_ A couple of years ago we took note of OS trends in Djibouti [1, 2] and GNU/ Linux has since then risen_noticeably.

It's become very apparent to me that the experience of being on Linux feels much better than Windows, to the point where I'd rather deal with some limitations or have a little more work every now and then. Aside from not being interested in supporting some of the stupid decisions Microsoft has been making with Windows 11 and other products, the fact is, Linux desktops just feel faster across the board compared to Windows. If you're only a Windows user, you probably don't really notice it, but once you start putting things side by side, it starts to become more apparent that Linux feels faster. * ⚓ XDA ☛ File_managers_are_where_Linux_still_loses_to_Windows⠀⇛ Let me start by touching on the built-in tools for file management, which are what most people will use. Over on Windows, File Explorer has been just fine for a long time. It works, it does the job, and it's been getting some big improvements in recent years, like adding tab support, cloud integrations, support for various archive file types, and more. However, File Explorer isn't particularly fast. Jumping from one folder to another takes a split second longer than it should, which is actually something you can bypass if you toggle fullscreen mode and then turn it back off. For some reason, the default behavior adds a short delay when transitioning between folders, but a bug in the program seems to disable that behavior, and you can feel how much faster it gets. File Explorer can also struggle to load folders with a lot of files sometimes. File management on Linux is a little different because every distro is going to give you a different file manager. I can't pretend I'm familiar with all of them, but I have used a few, and at their core, they share a lot of the same principles. I mostly use Dolphin on KDE Plasma, and it has some of the same principles as File Explorer, including the sidebar for jumping to important locations, support for tabs, and other basic features. There isn't a proper integration with cloud storage services like Windows has, but it works fine. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1667 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/13/KDE_Plasma_6_5_5_Is_Out_Improves_Support_for_Older_Valve_Index_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/13/KDE_Plasma_6_5_5_Is_Out_Improves_Support_for_Older_Valve_Index_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ KDE Plasma 6.5.5 Is Out, Improves Support for Older Valve Index VR Headsets⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Jan 13, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇KDE_Plasma_6.5.5⦈_ Coming a little over a month after KDE Plasma 6.5.4, the KDE Plasma 6.5.5 release improves the matching algorithm of KRunner search to prioritize partial matches at the beginning of apps’ names, descriptions, and keywords, when searching for apps. KDE Plasma 6.5.5 also improves the Plasma Discover graphical package manager to prompt users to search the Internet for an app that it cannot find. Moreover, the search string now includes the correct operating system name if you’re not using a Linux-based OS.

I picked up new hardware to replace my MacBook Pro (an ASUS Zenbook S14, I’ll share proper thoughts on the device in a future piece) and stopped carrying the Mac to the office. That’s probably what makes the switch official (and lasting). Running Linux on gaming hardware I "only" touch a few times per week is one thing. Using it daily for my day job (and for running overkill) is a very different commitment. Most of my work happens in a browser, which helps a lot. And to my surprise, LibreOffice Calc turned out to be a perfectly fine replacement for Excel (at least for what I do). Over the next few weeks (and likely months), I’ll share more about how this switch holds up. Software, hardware, my customization, and whatever else I can think of. You’ll probably see more Linux-related news popping up in this newsletter too, and honestly, pretty much everywhere. There’s been a noticeable wave of people switching to Linux lately (3 links). I'm here for it.

As expected, we're pretty much back to a normal schedule after the holidays, and the stats look very regular, both in number of commits and in the patch. Drivers dominate (being about two thirds of the rc patch), and gpu and networking are the major part of that. As is tradition. There's some other driver updates too, but nothing that looks odd. Outside of drivers it's the usual suspects: various filesystem fixes (btrfs, nfsd, minor erofs fix and some generic vfs fixes), tooling (mostly seltfests, and most of those are part of the networking and gpu pulls), and some architecture fixes (arm64 and risc-v). There's some other minor fixes elsewhere, see the shortlog below for details. Nothing looks strange, and this could be a perfectly normal rc5. I'm still planning on doing an rc8 this release due to the holidays, but it all feels pretty regular.

I was not surprised; I thought this stuff had already become obsolete and anyone who purchased those things (physical gear) basically wasted a lot of money. There are now more confirmatory reports about it; the 'metaverse' or "Zuckerberg’s boldest bet on the future of the internet" (as some_called_it) rapidly collapses. Microsoft, already_very_deep_in_debt, scuttled all the people and units associated with 'metaverse'. Not much press coverage about it at the time.

This step also strengthens the relationship between Framework and the NixOS Foundation, with a shared focus on improving hardware support for NixOS on Framework devices both for existing and upcoming devices. The collaboration between NixOS community members and Framework was a great starting point and showed what’s possible when passionate individuals come together. But naturally, such efforts are limited by the time and availability of just a few people. To build stronger, long-term relationships with hardware vendors and grow more industrial partnerships, we need to offer reliability and professional coordination. An official partnership gives manufacturers the confidence that the collaboration will continue beyond individual contributions, increasing the chances that NixOS could become an officially supported Linux distribution and allowing us to expand into new areas together.

Rather than “adding AI features,” the project intends to study large language models, agents, and AI-powered systems as emerging attack surfaces already being used in real security workflows.

Hopefully no timeouts will be encountered. Hopefully. After that we plan to patch everything - kernel included - then reboot. Aside from that, everything is as usual/normal. The Hi-Dee bird is back today, after an unusual absence yesterday (maybe weather-related). My laptop has now been up for 762 days and I'm tempted to start recording videos again some time later this year (I saw a nice webcam this past Sunday and it reminded me that I have 2 which I can use in tandem).

With the help of my always-on Raspberry Pi, I’m hoping to buck trends and avoid subscriptions by hosting the following projects on my own. § Nextcloud I’ve been an iCloud subscriber since I first ran out of Apple’s complimentary space, back when smartphones were tiny, and 5GB seemed like a lot of storage. I’m all-in on the 2TB plan now, and though I have 75% of my plan remaining, I’ve been eyeing up other cloud storage plans recently. iCloud safeguards devices like my iPhone, stores precious photo and video memories, and even keeps my Home Assistant backups safe, but it’s not exactly easy to use on other platforms. Right now, I’m really feeling that pinch on Raspberry Pi OS itself, and though my demands for space aren’t astronomical, I’m looking to add some space that I can share broadly among the many platforms I use, from macOS to Windows and Linux distros like SteamOS. That’s where Nextcloud comes in. Though the name is heavily associated with enterprise-level collaboration and sharing, Nextcloud Hub is a suite of free tools that makes it possible to self-host your own cloud storage, host video conferences, work on documents, and run your own calendar. Personally, I’m only in it for the cloud storage, but I’ll take the rest as a nice added bonus. Installation is pretty breezy thanks to the wealth of options listed over at NextcloudPi, which include bare metal installs, ProxMox virtual machine images, and a Debian single-line installation command that should work just fine on Raspberry Pi OS. * ⚓ XDA ☛ HexOS_is_shaping_up_to_be_the_best_NAS_OS_for_everyone⠀⇛ HexOS, based on TrueNAS, launched at the end of November 2024 as an early-access platform for managing your NAS. At the time, and even months later, it lacked a lot of basic features that you'd expect from a NAS platform, even if you could still use the underlying TrueNAS system in the meantime. Even still, it was shaping up to be an exciting prospect for those looking for an off-the-shelf NAS operating system that could compete with Unraid or OpenMediaVault. Now, half a year on from our first look, it's meeting those expectations and then some. HexOS is not a platform aimed at enthusiasts, and it's still not ready for most people yet, but it's certainly getting there. It's seen a year of rapid development and a slew of major updates throughout the entirety of 2025, making it significantly more than just a promising beta. I'd argue that it's close to achieving its vision of a "best of both worlds" solution that the space has sorely needed. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2593 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/13/Red_Hat_Family_IBM_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/13/Red_Hat_Family_IBM_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat / Fedora Project / IBM Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 13, 2026, updated Jan 13, 2026 * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Accelerate_readiness._Reduce_risk._Build_skills_that scale.⠀⇛ Red Hat Learning Subscription Course helps teams add new skills and refine existing expertise through a flexible, scalable approach to learning.

Each team within the organization may have a catalog of their inner workings, but discoverability across verticals can suffer as teams grow and look inward for all their needs. Additionally, each team may have their own process for creating new projects, if any process is defined at all. Developer_portals_and_platform engineering help with the sprawl of enterprises and assist in organizing ownership and software.

Some have advertised their strengths over Microsoft's operating system, and others, such as Zorin OS, try to make things as comfortable as possible for escapees, including adding OneDrive support and Windows-like desktop layouts. However, one OS is hoping to draw the Windows crowd by being so alike Windows that it's hard to tell the two systems apart. It's called Winux, and it just received its 11.25.12 update just in time for the new year. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Windows_11's_new_Start_menu_ad_makes_me_happy_I_swapped_to Linux⠀⇛ You know that feeling you get where you're in a noisy environment for so long, you get used to it? Then you moved somewhere quiet, and you realise just how much noise you've been surrounded by over the past few minutes? That's how I felt when I moved from Windows to Linux a few months ago; once I had an OS that didn't pester me every so often, I realised just how spoiled I was using Linux. So, when I check what's happening on the Windows front and see that Microsoft is, once again, adding more pester prompts to its Start menu, I feel bad for the people who have no choice but to use it. However, it's never too late to swap. Just saying. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Immutable_Linux_distros_fix_the_update_problem_Windows_never solved⠀⇛ 2025 was a really interesting year for me, technology-wise. It was the year I finally managed to pry myself off Windows after several decades of use and moved to Linux. I distro hopped, tried different things, and eventually settled down on the immutable Fedora KDE spin, Kinoite. Those last five words would have been incomprehensible to me a year ago, but today, they act as my daily driver. I really think immutable operating systems are the future, and they solve problems that I've had with Windows for years. Unfortunately, I really don't see Microsoft adopting the tech for a very long time, if ever. So, here's how my immutable Linux distro fixes the update problem that Windows may never get. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Windows_users_love_to_underestimate_how_stable_Linux_actually is⠀⇛ There's a phrase that gets passed around the internet that goes "Linux is free if you don't value your time." The idea is that, while Linux comes at zero cost, you put in so much elbow grease into getting it to run properly that you spend more of your free time than if you used, say, Windows or macOS. That may have been true back when it was made in the late 90s by Jamie Zawinski, but I don't think it holds any water these days. In fact, I think that Windows users who claim they don't want to switch to Linux because it's not as stable have either parroted what they heard on Reddit one day, or didn't give the right distro a try. In fact, given what happened to Windows 11 over 2025, I think the reverse is becoming true. * ⚓ XDA ☛ You,_too,_can_bring_the_late_90s_Linux_to_life_with_this_modern fork_of_KDE_1⠀⇛ As a newcomer to the Linux scene (I don't even have my "1 year of Linux" badge yet), I never had the delight of using one in the late 90s to early 2000s. I kind of wish that I, at least, dipped a toe into the Linux scene at the time, because it'd be cool to see how the open-source operating system scene evolved over time. Well, while I can't go back in time to give it a try, I can, at the very least, check out this awesome project that aims to bring KDE 1 into the modern day. It's called MiDesktop, and while it certainly looks like it was released before the turn of the millennium, it's designed to work with the apps we know and love today. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠁⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠛⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠲⡒⠖⠒⠂⠀⢀⠀⣀⠀⡀⡀⠒⠒⠲⠂⠀⠠⠀⢀⡀⡀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀ ⠿⠟⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⢬⣬⣥⠤⣲⣶⣶⢖⣒⡒⣗⣿⣿⢯⠨⠭⠥⠾⠼⠼⠗⠐⠓⠓⠛⠛⠛⠣⣴⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣵⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠤⠀⣀⣤⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠘⠍⣈⣁⣩⣭⣭⡎⢁⢀⣀⣐⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣭⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠤⣴⠀⣾⢲⣸⣷⠆⡈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢐⢼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⣠⡀⣀⣀⣂⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠡⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁ ⢢⢹⣠⠸⠜⢛⣘⠡⠬⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠭⠤⠛⠛⠟⠋⠉⢉⣁⣀⢘⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⣶⠺ ⠩⠐⠐⠘⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⠏⡀ ⠀⠀⡀⣀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⡄⣠⣤⣦⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⢛⣛⣛⣛⣋⠉⣉⣉⢉⣉⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡟⠀⠐ ⢡⣲⣾⣿⣷⣶⣿⣶⣤⣶⣿⣿⡟⠳⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠿⠿⠘⠒⠒⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡿⠠⠺⠁ ⣿⢿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⢻⣥⣀⡀⠴⡖⠀⠀⠀⢀⣄⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠈⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡼⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠻⣅⣤⠔⠾⠟⠋⢁⠀⣀⣰⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠐⠒⠋⣃⡀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⢠⣄⣠⠤⠀⠰⠶⠨⠽⠗⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⡍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠓⢦⣤⣤⡈⢝⣯⣶⣾⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⣛⣉⣉⠀⠿⠇⠒⠛⠉⠉⠀⠈⠉⢈⣁⡀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠐⠂⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⢀⠀⣤⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⢏⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠙⣻⠶⠟⠻⠟⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⠿⠿⠀⠒⠂⠒⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠘⠓⠂⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶ ⣻⢞⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠒⠊⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣽⣠⣤⣄⠀⣉⠁⠠⠐⢀⣠⣤⠶⠶⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡿⠿⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⡀⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠄⠀⠀⠒⠒⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠩⠁⠀⢀⣀⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠛⠉⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⣀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠈⢻⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⠐⠚⠉⢿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2884 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/13/Text_based_web_browsers_and_Mozilla_Firefox_based_browsers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/13/Text_based_web_browsers_and_Mozilla_Firefox_based_browsers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Text-based web browsers and Mozilla/ Firefox-based browsers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 13, 2026 * ⚓ Matthias Zöchling ☛ Text-based_web_browsers⠀⇛ Do text-based web browsers still matter?

“Show Full Path” folder pane option for compact view modes, a new `mail.useLocalizedFolderNames’ option to toggle special folder name localization, and support for special folders to be localized based on a restricted set of names. Several bugs were addressed in Thunderbird 147 to improve things like compacting multiple folders, resetting manual folder sorting for subfolders, unified archive subfolders, displaying folders with deep hierarchy and long names, as well as moving saved search/virtual folders under IMAP.

Read on for the details on how to do this. * ⚓ Louis-Philippe_Véronneau:_Reducing_the_size_of_initramfs_kernel images⠀⇛ In the past few years, the size of the kernel images in Debian have been steadily growing. I don't see this as a problem per se, but it has been causing me trouble, as my /boot partition has become too small to accommodate two kernel images at the same time. * ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Using_journalctl_vacuum_to_Clean_and_Control_Logs_on Linux⠀⇛ journalctl --vacuum is beneficial for reclaiming disk space, managing log retention policies, and maintaining optimal system performance. Knowing how to control journal logs ensures that disk space is never unexpectedly consumed. * ⚓ Arseny ☛ FreeBSD:_Home_NAS,_part_7_–_NFSv4_and_use_with_Linux_clients⠀⇛ My idea is for the Samba share to be used for various media resources requiring access from phones and TVs, while NFS will be exclusively for Linux hosts – two laptops in different networks (home and office) that will perform their backups to this partition using rsync, rclone, or restic. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Something_you_don't_want_to_do_when_using Spamhaus's_DQS_with_Exim⠀⇛ For reasons outside the scope of this entry, we recently switched from Spamhaus's traditional public DNS (what is now called the 'public mirrors') to an account with their Data Query Service. The DQS data can still be queried via DNS, which presents a problem: DNS queries have no way to carry any sort of access key with them. Spamhaus has solved this problem by embedding your unique access key in the zone name you must use. Rather than querying, say, zen.spamhaus.org, you query '.zen.dq.spamhaus.net'. Because your DQS key is tied to your account and your account has query limits, you don't want to spread your DQS key around for other people to pick up and use. * ⚓ Tangled Labs Oy ☛ we_rolled_our_own_documentation_site⠀⇛ We recently organized our documentation and put it up on https: //docs.tangled.org, using just pandoc. For several reasons, using pandoc to roll your own static sites is more than sufficient for small projects. * ⚓ Louie Mantia ☛ How_to_Make_a_Damn_Website⠀⇛ It’s easy to forget how simple a website can be. A website can be just one page. It doesn’t even need CSS. You don’t need a content management system like Wordpress. All you have to do is write some HTML and drag that file to a server over FTP. For years now, people have tried to convince us that this is the “hard” way of making a website, but in reality, it may be the easiest. It doesn’t have to be super complicated. However, with this post, I will assume you’ve written at least some HTML and CSS before, and that you know how to upload files to a server. If you’ve never done these things, it may seem like I’m skipping over some things. I am. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3738 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/13/today_s_leftovers.1.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/13/today_s_leftovers.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 13, 2026 * § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾ o ⚓ XDA ☛ This_Docker_container_gives_me_a_full_Linux_desktop_in_my browser⠀⇛ Running a full Linux desktop on a Windows or macOS-based machine usually requires dual-booting, a virtual machine on your PC, or a remote desktop connection to a system that's actually running it. But what if I told you there was a way to run Linux so that you can access a full operating system and desktop from just your web browser? That's the promise of containers like LinuxServer's Webtop, and after using it, it's hard not to see why this approach is so compelling. At a glance, it seems... weird. You point your browser at a local IP address or hostname and suddenly you have a full XFCE desktop running in your browser. There's a file manager, a terminal, a browser, and all the familiar Linux tidbits, yet none of it is running natively. Instead, the entire environment lives inside a Docker container, and your browser is effectively rendering a stream of the desktop running inside of it. It's lightweight, fast to spin up, and doesn't care whether you're on Windows, macOS, or even a Chromebook. So long as you have Docker, it's all you need. * § Server⠀➾ o ⚓ Kubernetes_v1.35_Arrived,_Right_On_Workload-Aware_Schedule⠀⇛ Discover the latest enhancements in Kubernetes workload scheduling, including the Workload API and gang scheduling features aimed at optimizing application performance and management. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ ZDNet ☛ I_tried_the_new_Linux_Mint_22.3_-_it's_a masterclass_in_polish_and_quality-of-life_fixes⠀⇛ Linux Mint 22.3 Zena is a classic point release. There's nothing earth‑shattering in this release, but it boasts polish, quality‑of‑life fixes, and Cinnamon desktop refinements. This update makes Mint, once more, one of the best desktops for people who just want their PC to work. If you liked Mint 22.1 and 22.2, 22.3 feels like the next logical distro you'll want to live in until Mint 22.x is no longer supported in 2029. Under the hood, Mint remains boring but good. Linux Mint 22.3 sticks with the Ubuntu 24.04 Long Term Support (LTS) base, updated to 24.04.3. This tech provides a conservative, well‑tested foundation with current hardware support rather than a brand- new Linux distribution. Not, mind you, that there's anything wrong with leading, bleeding-edge Linux distros, such as System76's Pop!OS 24.04 with its brand-spanking new COSMIC desktop. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Upgraded_Sipeed_NanoKVM-USB_USB_KVM_solution gains_4K_60_FPS_video_capture_and_HDMI_loop_output⠀⇛ Sipeed has released a new variant of its NanoKVM- USB low-cost USB KVM adapter, which upgrades 2K 30 FPS capture and 4Kp30 loop out to 4K 60 FPS capture and 4Kp60 HDMI loop output. The new NanoKVM-USB 4K keeps the same ports as the earlier model, with HDMI and USB-C inputs connected to the target, and another USB-C port that connects to the host, in order to remotely control the target with keyboard, mouse, and monitor emulation. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3848 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/13/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/13/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 13, 2026 * § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾ o ⚓ XDA ☛ I_run_Windows_11_in_a_VM_and_finally_use_Linux_as_my_main OS⠀⇛ The last couple of years have felt like we're just on the cusp of the Linux desktop being viable for the average Joe. It's fast, flexible and relatively stable in ways that Windows isn't, but for many people, the moment they need an application that doesn't run on Linux, they swap it out, or leave it installed on a partition that will never be booted from again. But the calendars have turned to 2026, and while I have tried going full-Linux before, I think now is as good of a time as ever to give it another shot. Anything I need for Windows will be relegated to a virtual machine, and Linux will be my primary OS. * § Kernel Space / File Systems / Virtualization⠀➾ o ⚓ ZDNet ☛ Even_Linus_Torvalds_is_vibe_coding_now⠀⇛ Linus Torvalds has started playing with vibe coding. Yes, really! He's using Google's Antigravity AI assistant to generate parts of a new hobby project rather than writing all the code himself. In doing so, he has become the highest-profile programmer yet to adopt this rapidly spreading, and often mocked, AI-driven programming. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # ⚓ XDA ☛ I've_learned_to_do_these_4_tasks_in_my_terminal instead_of_my_browser,_and_it's_so_much_better⠀⇛ Most of us learn to treat the browser as the place where everything happens, from email and social networks to code reviews and server dashboards. At some point, though, all those tabs start to feel like quicksand instead of a shortcut. I gradually pushed a few everyday tasks into my terminal, mainly as an experiment. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3921 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/13/Wayland_Has_Issues_Some_Distros_Default_to_Wayland_Anyway.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/13/Wayland_Has_Issues_Some_Distros_Default_to_Wayland_Anyway.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Wayland Has Issues, Some Distros Default to Wayland Anyway⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 13, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Fedora⦈_ * ⚓ XDA ☛ 3_Wayland_quirks_I_stopped_noticing_after_a_couple_of_weeks⠀⇛ I'm far from the most adept Linux user, but I can handle my way around it through constantly trying out new things. One of those is Wayland. Now, by no means is Wayland something new and shiny. However, I've stuck to X11 because it works just fine for me as an occasional user. But lately I've been feeling the itch to give it a shot. Not because something was wrong with X11, but I should probably get a handle on what is shaping up as the popular choice. As it turns out, before I knew it, I was spending most of my time in Wayland. Now, I'd read up enough about Wayland to know that some things wouldn't work quite how I expected them to. And yeah, that was the case. Some things did break. But what surprised me is just how small most of those issues were and how quickly those quirks stopped bothering me. Not because they got fixed, but mostly because my workflow just figured a way around them, and I no longer felt constrained by the quirks. Here are three Wayland quirks that stood out early on, and then stopped bothering me at all. * ⚓ XDA ☛ These_5_Linux_distros_already_implement_Wayland_instead_of_X11⠀⇛ Fedora has been the most consistent champion of Wayland in the mainstream Linux world. Fedora Workstation switched to Wayland by default years ago, well before many users realized what that change meant. For most people, the transition happened quietly, which is arguably the best possible outcome for a display server overhaul of this scale. Things simply worked, and Fedora gained a reputation for pushing the Linux desktop forward without unnecessary drama. That early adoption also made Fedora a proving ground for Wayland development. GNOME features, input handling improvements, and fractional scaling all matured faster because Fedora users used them every day. Bugs were surfaced early, fixed upstream, and rolled into future releases with minimal friction. This helped Wayland grow from a promising replacement into a stable foundation. Fedora’s role matters because many other distributions indirectly inherit its work. Technologies that succeed in Fedora often trickle down into Red Hat Enterprise Linux and its downstream projects.
