Buzzwords)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 21, 2026 * ⚓ Michael Gale ☛ Keeping_Proton_Pass_up_to_date_on_Bazzite_|_Michael Gale⠀⇛ Bazzite is an immutable operating system, and on immutable systems you can't use the standard rpm -i command. Instead, packages are "layered" on top of the base image using rpm- ostree, and changes take effect after a reboot. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Shadow-Soft_shares_top_challenges_holding organizations_back_from_virtualization_modernization⠀⇛ But if the "state of traditional virtualization is uncertain," as Ross Beard, vice president of marketing and partner alliances at Shadow-Soft, puts it, why do so many organizations hesitate to move towards a modern future? * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ From_manual_to_agentic:_streamlining_IT_processes with_Red_Hat_OpenShift_AI [Ed: IBM using Red Hat's brand and products for a slop-pushing expedition]⠀⇛ This AI quickstart provides a reusable framework—including request routing, agent services, knowledge bases, an integration dispatcher, and an evaluation framework—that you can apply across multiple IT processes. While we're demonstrating a laptop refresh process as the working example, the same components can be adapted to privacy impact assessments, RFP generation, access requests, software licensing, and other structured IT workflows. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Event-Driven_Ansible:_Simplified_event_routing_with Event_Streams⠀⇛ A foundational use case that can be used almost anywhere to provide a great deal of value to the technical team is ticket enrichment. With Event-Driven Ansible, an alert from an observability or monitoring tool can drive a workflow of automated troubleshooting, fact gathering and reporting with ticket creation in an IT service management (ITSM) solution. This places valuable data in the hands of the support teams, saving them time and reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR).  Event-Driven Ansible automates remediation for known low severity issues, such as restarting a container or rotating expired certificates from a pending expiration alert. This not only lets you sleep more, but can help enable resilient systems through automated response and remediation.  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Dell_Technologies_modernizes_the_developer experience_with_Red_Hat_OpenShift_Dev_Spaces⠀⇛ Joseph Kanjirathinkal sharing how OpenShift Dev Spaces are made available to developers in Dell ISG/CSG * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Automating_Microsoft_Endpoint_Configuration_Manager with_Red_Hat_Ansible_Automation_Platform [Ed: IBM selling Microsoft]⠀⇛ * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ AI_quickstarts:_An_easy_and_practical_way_to_get started_with_Red_Hat_AI [Ed: IBM uses Red Hat to prop up a Ponzi scheme for Wall Street]⠀⇛ AI quickstarts are a new catalog of ready-to-run, industry- specific use cases that put the power of open source AI directly into your hands. These are a playground you can use to master Red Hat AI and sharpen the skills needed to take your AI ideas from experimentation to production. Each AI quickstart is designed to be simple to deploy, explore, and extend, giving you and your team a fast, hands-on way to see how AI can power real-world solutions on enterprise-ready, open source infrastructure. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 267 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/21/Free_and_Open_Source_Software_howtos_and_Installations.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/21/Free_and_Open_Source_Software_howtos_and_Installations.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software, howtos and Installations⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 21, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Teabag⦈_ * ⚓ Teabag_-_manage_AppImage_files_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Teabag is a Terminal User Interface (TUI) application built with Bubble Tea to manage AppImage files. It moves AppImages to a centralized directory and creates desktop entries for easy access through your application launcher. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ postcss-bem-linter_-_BEM_linter_for_PostCSS_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ postcss-bem-linter is a PostCSS plugin to lint BEM-style CSS. BEM-style describes CSS that follows a more-or-less strict set of conventions determining what selectors can be used. Typically, these conventions require that classes begin with the name of the component (or “block”) that contains them, and that all characters after the component name follow a specified pattern. Original BEM methodology refers to “blocks”, “elements”, and “modifiers”; SUIT refers to “components”, “descendants”, and “modifiers”. You might have your own terms for similar concepts. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ sqlfmt_-_SQL_formatter_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ sqlfmt is fast. Forget about formatting your code, and spend your time on business logic instead. sqlfmt processes hundreds of files per second and only operates on files that have changed since the last run. sqlfmt works with Jinja. It formats the code that users look at, and therefore doesn’t need to know anything about what happens after the templates are rendered. sqlfmt integrates with your workflow. As a CLI written in Python, it’s easy to install locally on any OS and run in CI. Plays well with dbt, pre-commit, SQLFluff, VSCode, and GitHub Actions. sqlfmt powers the dbt Cloud IDE’s Format button. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Lemurs_-_TUI_display/login_manager_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Lemurs is a Terminal User Interface (TUI) Display/Login Managers written in Rust that works on most Linux and BSD distributions. It can work both with or without SystemD. This project creates a small, robust and yet customizable Login Manager which can serve as the front-end to your TTY, X11 or Wayland sessions. Lemurs uses Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) as its method of authentication. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ beekeeper-qt_-_deduplicate_redundant_data_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ beekeeper-qt lets you free up disk space by removing redundant block-level data, both inside files and across multiple files. This is done by compression and deduplication techniques which are discussed more in deep down below. This is a simple graphical interface to configure and run it without hassle. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Volare_-_Wayland_compositor_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Volare is a tabbed, tiling Wayland compositor. This means, compared to other tiling compositors, volare is more static: new windows will show up as tabs in the current frame instead of rearranging the screen layout. This project is in its bootstrap phase: it should be basically functional, but is still poorly documented This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Realm_-_simple_relay_server_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Realm is a simple, high performance relay server. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ RevLix_-_data_recovery_tool_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ RevLix is a data recovery tool developed to recover deleted files on Linux systems. This program uses the PhotoRec infrastructure and provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for PhotoRec. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ ETR_-_ECMP_traceroute_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ ETR is a MTR-like tool for discovering and analyzing ECMP (Equal-Cost Multi-Path) network routes. ETR discovers multiple network paths by running parallel traceroute probes with different source ports, causing routers to select different ECMP routes. Each probe maintains a consistent 5-tuple (src IP, src port, dst IP, dst port, protocol) to repeatedly test the same path. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Transistor_-_GUI_internet_radio_player_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ So, what makes internet radio so appealing? For starters, there are no sign-up or subscription fees, making it accessible to everyone. You can tune into a vast array of stations from around the globe. Whether you’re a fan of classical music, pop, folk, or even news and talk shows, there’s something for everyone, no matter where you are, as long as you have an internet connection. Internet radio covers every format you’d find on traditional broadcast stations, providing endless listening options. Transistor is a GUI internet radio player for Linux. It’s free and open source software. * ⚓ aria2tui_-_download_manager_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ aria2TUI is a download management tool. It acts as a TUI client for the aria2c download utility, facilitating bulk downloading, torrenting, queue control, the fine-tuning of download options (e.g., piece length, user-agent, max speed, etc.), downloading via proxy, and much more. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ mokii_-_ls_replacement_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Mokii is a modern file listing utility that levels up your ls game. It brings Unicode icons, color coding, sorting options, and git integration to the terminal. Inspired by eza and exa, built with C++23 for speed and style. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ ttl_-_modern_traceroute_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ ttl is a network diagnostic tool that goes beyond traceroute: MTU discovery, NAT detection, route flap alerts, IX identification, and more. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ disktui_-_TUI_for_disk_management_and_partitioning_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ disktui is a TUI for disk management and partitioning. This is free and open source software. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⡅⠰⠀⢀⣤⡀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠇⢠⠀⠈⠛⠃⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠂⠀⠀⢠⣿⣷⣦⠑⠂⠀⠀⠀⣠⠾⠟⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠾⠿⠿⠿⠷⠶⠶⢶⣶⠇⠀⢀⡀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⢸⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣇⣀⣀⣀⣉⣿⣶⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⣠⣇⣀⣀⣀⣯⣀⣽⠀⢸⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⠍⠀⢀⣤⠤⠄⠠⢤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⡏⠀⠀⢸⡧⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⠀⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⢹⣿⣵⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣻⣿⣹⣿⣿⡇⢰⠀⠀⣾⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⢰⠀⠀⣿⡿⢷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⢿⣧⣿⠇⢸⣿⣧⣭⣤⣤⣤⠀⢸⡇⢻⠘⠛⢸⢿⠀⡇⠀⢠⣾⣿⠀⢸⡷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠸⣧⣾⣶⣤⠤⠬⣀⣵⣶⣶⣿⣿⠀⠰⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣡⡼⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠘⠛⠛⠛⢛⣛⡛⠛⠛⠛⣛⡛⠛⠛⣤⣔⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 528 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/21/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/21/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 21, 2026 * ⚓ Seth Michael Larson ☛ “urllib3_in_2025”_available_on_Illia_Volochii’s new_blog_—_Seth_Larson⠀⇛ If you are reading my blog to keep up-to-date on the latest in urllib3 I highly recommend following both Illia and Quentin's blogs, as I will likely publish less and less about urllib3 here going forward. The leadership change was a part of my observation of Volunteer Responsibility Amnesty Day in the spring of last year. * § Events⠀➾ o ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Events:_Free_Software_Directory_meeting_on_IRC:_Friday, January_23,_starting_at_12:00_EST_(17:00_UTC)⠀⇛ Join the FSF and friends on Friday, January 23 from 12:00 to 15:00 EST (17:00 to 20:00 UTC) to help improve the Free Software Directory. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ Don Marti ☛ Google_“Privacy_Sandbox”_timeline⠀⇛ But somehow I still think this mess is worth remembering. Google tried to do a bunch of crimes in the browser at once and then (mostly) had to stop. So, in my humble opinion, that counts as a win. And it’s worth celebrating, and posting some notes and links on. As scams and slop proliferate, we’re going to need more wins like it. o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Data@Mozilla:_This_Week_in_Data:_There’s_No_Such Thing_as_a_Normal_Month⠀⇛ (“This Week in Data” is a series of blog posts that the Data Team at Mozilla is using to communicate about our work. Posts in this series could be release notes, documentation, hopes, dreams, or whatever: so long as it’s about data.) At the risk of reminding you of a Nickleback song, look_at_this_graph: [...] * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ Buttondown LLC ☛ Refinement_without_Specification⠀⇛ Imagine we have a SQL database with a user table, and users have a non-nullable is_activated boolean column. Having read That Boolean Should Probably Be Something else, you decide to migrate it to a nullable activated_at column. You can change any of the SQL queries that read/ update the user table but not any of the code that uses the results of these queries. Can we make this change in a way that preserves all external properties? o ⚓ Haki Benita ☛ Unconventional_PostgreSQL_Optimizations⠀⇛ When it comes to database optimization, developers often reach for the same old tools: rewrite the query slightly differently, slap an index on a column, denormalize, analyze, vacuum, cluster, repeat.

ZDNET — Hyprland is getting tons of coverage within the Linux community. If you've never heard of Hyprland, you're in for a treat. What is Hyprland? It's a highly customizable, dynamic tiling compositor for Wayland on Linux. Hyprland is beautiful and efficient, but it isn't exactly what I'd call a desktop for those new to Linux. Hyprland is a very keyboard-centric environment, so if you prefer using your mouse, there's nothing for you to see here. In fact, everything happens on Omarchy via the keyboard. You can forget about your mouse, because it's not wanted or needed for this desktop distribution.

I'm still very much a newbie when it comes to the world of FOSS operating systems, so it was a big learning process for me. However, it was one that, eventually, left me really happy with my operating system. Not only do I use Fedora's KDE Atomic spin as my daily driver (called Kinoite), but I'm not sure I can go back to a regular system. One of the biggest hurdles to getting used to an immutable distro is that you cannot install apps on it. Well, you can, but doing so involves adding a layer, and it should really be used as a last resort if no other methods work. Ideally, you'll find a way to get an app running without needing to install it, and I've been lucky enough that none of the apps I use daily require a layer to run. So, here's how I got an OS running where I don't install a single app, and why I won't have it any other way.

This is a huge move for Linux desktop users who want to ditch flat screens and jump into immersive computing. The developer, Stanislav Aleksandrov, submitted the draft plugin for KWin, which is the window manager for KDE Plasma. This isn't just a fun proof of concept, either; Aleksandrov's long-term goal is to make KWin run entirely without flat displays. This means KDE could become a primary, fully fledged VR Desktop Environment, letting you use your favorite Linux OS inside a headset. If this code is accepted and polished, it dramatically changes how we interact with Linux on devices like the Steam Frame, which runs KDE Plasma, or even standard VR headsets like the Meta Quest 3. The core of this plugin is KWin's ability to handle floating windows in a 3D space. You can expect to drag windows around and set up physical and virtual screens all around you. It looks a lot like what the Meta Quest 3 lets you do already, as the environment renders every element from the window borders to the applications themselves as fully 3D objects.

This is the first in a series of development logs and musings on the topic. I hope you find them insightful and/or entertaining. * ⚓ Simon Willison ☛ jordanhubbard/nanolang⠀⇛ Plenty of people have mused about what a new programming language specifically designed to be used by LLMs might look like. Jordan Hubbard (co-founder of FreeBSD, with serious stints at Apple and NVIDIA) just released exactly that. * ⚓ Shayon Mukherjee ☛ Software_engineering_when_machine_writes_the_code⠀⇛ In 1968, a group of computer scientists gathered at a NATO conference in Garmisch, Germany, and coined the term “software crisis.” The problem they identified wasn’t that computers were bad or unreliable. It was that computers had become too powerful for the existing methods of programming to handle. Edsger Dijkstra later put it memorably: “As long as there were no machines, programming was no problem at all; when we had a few weak computers, programming became a mild problem, and now we have gigantic computers, programming has become an equally gigantic problem.” * ⚓ Haskell For All ☛ Haskell_for_all:_Type-safe_eval_in_Grace⠀⇛ This post is about a Grace programming language feature that is both cursed and blessed: type-safe eval. This feature is cursed because (like any eval) it can potentially promote untrusted input into code, but also blessed because it's type-safe and it's the foundation for two other language features: [...] * ⚓ Discernible Inc ☛ 3_Counterproductive_Communication_Patterns_Holding Back_Security_Researchers⠀⇛ After years of working with bug bounty programs and independent security researchers across web2 and web3, I've seen a pattern of communication practices that repeatedly undermine otherwise productive interactions. Even the most talented researchers can sabotage their own efforts through ineffective communication. Here are three of the most common communication mistakes I see researchers make during the vulnerability disclosure process. I'll also walk through how addressing these issues can lead to better outcomes for everyone. * ⚓ Onur Sahin ☛ Understanding_C++_Ownership_System⠀⇛ I recently started using C++ at my $DAY_JOB and, along with that, decided to study C++ again. I think writing down your understanding is the best way to learn a topic. One part I find that is hard to understand in C++ is how the object ownership model works because it's not a single concept but a collection of a couple of smaller concepts. By ownership I mean creating and destroying objects, giving references to an object, and transferring ownership of an object. There is no one guide that covers everything. These concepts are very important to write and read modern C++ (though I doubt if C++11 is still considered "modern"). Even if you just want to write C with Classes-style C++, you will probably use standard containers like std::vector, which requires an understanding of C++ ownership related features such as RAII, references, and move semantics to use it properly. Without knowing those, you simply can't have the correct memory model for C++, resulting in buggy programs full of undefined behaviors and inefficient programs due to unnecessary copying. By knowing these concepts, you can both avoid introducing bugs due to lack of understanding and reason about programs better. This writing is my understanding of C++ ownership model. I think it can be useful to you if you have a basic level understanding of C++ and you want to learn more, or you are familiar with C++ but never learned the concepts and terminology formally. * ⚓ [Old] David R MacIver ☛ How_to_find_things_(an_intro_to_binary search)⠀⇛ As probably most of you are aware, I’m actually a software developer. I don’t talk about it here much1, as this is mostly a newsletter about the rest of my interests, but I’ve been experimenting with writing about whatever I feel like writing about, and today I feel like writing about binary search. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Introducing_distionary_for_Building_and_Probing_Distributions⠀⇛ After passing through rOpenSci peer review, the distionary package is now newly available on CRAN. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ Manuel Matuzović ☛ My_favourite_front-end_and_web_development conferences⠀⇛ As someone who enjoys attending conferences, I thought it might be helpful to share a list of my favourite front- end and web development conferences. * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ Godot Engine ☛ Release_candidate:_Godot_4.6_RC_2⠀⇛ One last round of testing, again! * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Dan Langille ☛ Migrating_my_hosts_from_Python_3.11_to_Python 3.12⠀⇛ This post probably won’t help you much. It is mostly just me saving stuff I may want to refer to later. Also, this post covers only the initial hosts. It is the first step. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Aashvik ☛ an_ssg_written_in_shell⠀⇛ Earlier last year, I made this website into a JS single- page application that used two GitHub repos and did regex crimes while praying JavaScript and cross-origin resource-sharing were enabled, and it worked the way a shopping cart with two wheels still rolls downhill… So, after a few months of making and breaking different static site generators and website layouts, I’ve replaced it with a POSIX shell script (with an optional comrak dependency for markdown), because I enjoy cobbling HTML together and don’t want big JS frameworks for my small and simple site. This is not a reusable SSG, but more of a very site- specific build script, but… ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1347 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/21/Slimbook_Launches_New_Slimbook_ONE_Mini_Linux_PC_Slimbook_Execu.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/21/Slimbook_Launches_New_Slimbook_ONE_Mini_Linux_PC_Slimbook_Execu.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Slimbook Launches New Slimbook ONE Mini Linux PC, Slimbook Executive Laptop⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Jan 21, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Slimbook_ONE⦈_ First in the line is the Slimbook ONE, Slimbook’s AMD-powered mini Linux PC, which now ships with two different CPUs, namely the AMD Ryzen 7 H 255 or AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, an Oculink port to connect external GPUs, as well as dual Ethernet 2.5GbE, Wi-Fi 7, and USB 4 connectivity.

The browser won. And in that victory, we collectively agreed to pretend that a format designed for human readability in a REPL was suitable for machine-to-machine communication, for configuration, for anything requiring rigor. We relinquished the logical formalism for convenience with our tools. * ⚓ Ginger Bill ☛ The_Only_Two_Markup_Languages⠀⇛ There are only two families of proper arbitrary markup languages: TeX and SGML. By arbitrary, I mean the grammar specifically, and how it can be used mark arbitrary plain text with information. And by proper, I mean the ability to have standalone nodes, user-definable nodes, nodes with attributes, and the wrapping of plain text. Everything else either lacks one of the these capabilities, or is a derivative or syntactic- makeover of TeX or SGML. * ⚓ Cloudflare ☛ What_came_first:_the_CNAME_or_the_A_record?⠀⇛ While making some improvements to lower the memory usage of our cache implementation, we introduced a subtle change to CNAME record ordering. The change was introduced on December 2, 2025, released to our testing environment on December 10, and began deployment on January 7, 2026. * ⚓ YLE ☛ Tuesday's_papers:_Placating_Trump,_living_rent-free,_and_the_end of_the_line⠀⇛ Finland's fixed-line telephones are on the verge of being consigned to history.

For example, I might be logged into a remote Linux server, and I need an easier way to manage files than the usual commands. Or, I might already be in a terminal window on a local machine and figure I might as well stay there. Or, maybe I just prefer the command line. There are plenty of reasons why you might want to adopt a terminal-based file manager on Linux. No, they aren't as convenient as a GUI, but when they are necessary, they are great to have around. * § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ o ⚓ Manuel Matuzović ☛ Lowering_the_specificity_of_multiple_rules_at once_-_Manuel_Matuzovic⠀⇛ You probably already knew that you can use :where() to lower the specificity of a single selector, but did you know that you can achieve a similar effect on multiple rules at once? o ⚓ Cloud Four Inc ☛ Faking_a_Fieldset-Legend⠀⇛ My buddy Christopher Kirk-Nielsen wanted to mimic the look of a inside a

It draws heavily on Minecraft but adds a ton of its own flavour, making something that is still very unique. On top of the extra features, Hytale has been built from the ground up with a heavy focus on moddability, so anyone can expand the game even further with custom content. o ⚓ Andy Bell ☛ Accessible_faux-nested_interactive_controls⠀⇛ Modern CSS lets you have it all: resilient, adaptable, fault-tolerant experiences that recreate the affordances of contemporary app-like experiences without sacrificing accessibility. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Joomla_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Joomla stands as one of the world’s most trusted content management systems, powering millions of websites across diverse industries. When paired with Fedora 43’s cutting- edge features and robust security architecture, you get a powerful hosting environment that delivers both performance and reliability. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OpenSSH_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ Remote server management has become essential in today’s digital infrastructure. OpenSSH stands as the industry- standard solution for secure remote access, enabling system administrators and developers to manage Ubuntu servers from anywhere in the world. o ⚓ ACENET_Basics:_Introduction_to_the_Linux_Command_Line⠀⇛ Linux is the terminal interface used to enable you to use the ACENET and the Digital Research Alliance of Canada (the Alliance) HPC clusters from your desktop. It's the tool you need to get your data on the clusters, run your programs, and get your data back. In this session, learn how to get started with Linux, how to create and navigate directories for your data, load files, manage your storage, run programs on the computing clusters, and set file permissions. This workshop is designed for those with no prior experience in working with a terminal interface. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1603 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/21/This_is_by_far_the_best_Linux_email_client_I_ve_used_and_I_ve_t.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/21/This_is_by_far_the_best_Linux_email_client_I_ve_used_and_I_ve_t.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ This is by far the best Linux email client I've used - and I've tested them all⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 21, 2026 Quoting: This is by far the best Linux email client I've used - and I've tested them all | ZDNET — I've used every Linux email client on the market, from the terminal- based Alpine (originally just Pine) to the Evolution groupware, and everything in between. Some of those email clients I stuck with for years, but eventually walked away from them for one reason or another -- too ugly, too inefficient, too outdated, too slow, too broken, etc. Had you asked me five years ago which email client I would take to my grave, the answer would have been Thunderbird. Between then and now, I've found that email client to be a bit too outdated in the UI and a bit too slow for my needs. However, I will say that the Thunderbird UI has finally evolved from that 2010-era design, but even with that evolution, Thunderbird can still feel a bit klunky.

§ Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Video ☛ Open_Source_in_war-torn_Ukraine_and_around_the_world—join me_on_an_epic_journey_❧_Open_Path_#4⠀⇛ What's the deeper meaning of Open Source? I searched for it in 🇺🇸 Los Angeles, 🇩🇰 Denmark, 🇮🇳 India ... and 🇺🇦 Ukraine. I met legendary Open Source developers like Mitchell Hashimoto, Poul-Henning Kamp, and Kailash Nadh. Along the way, I slept in an air-raid shelter, flew in a private jet, and ventured out into Bangalore traffic. The experience changed me forever. Join me to discover the GIFT COMMUNITY of Open Source for yourself. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ KDE ☛ This_Week_in_KDE_Apps⠀⇛ ⚓ New features in NeoChat, new releases of Kaidan and Calligra Plan⠀⇛ Welcome to a new issue of "This Week in KDE Apps"! Every week (or so) we cover as much as possible of what's happening in the world of KDE_apps. With January well under way, the news regarding KDE apps is coming thick and fast. Let's dig in! * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 3_"purpose-built"_Linux_distros_that_make_dual booting_Windows_actually_worthwhile⠀⇛ Considering dual booting but overwhelmed by hundreds of Linux distros? Want to avoid the common trap of ending up with two operating systems where one just sits there unused? Here are my top three distro picks—chosen based on why you’re dual booting in the first place. § Understanding the reason behind dual booting Technically, you can dual boot Windows with almost any Linux distribution—there’s nothing stopping you. But in practice, some distros work far better than others, and here’s why. If both operating systems do the same thing, you’ll eventually gravitate toward one and ignore the other. The abandoned OS just sits there, doing absolutely nothing except taking up precious SSD space. That’s why the best approach to dual booting is figuring out a distinct purpose for each operating system and using them accordingly. From what I’ve seen, while many people benefit from switching to Linux from Windows, only a select few actually benefit from dual booting—keeping both Linux and Windows. That’s exactly how I’ve structured my recommendations—around three major groups of users. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Wired ☛ Hundreds_of_Millions_of_Audio_Devices_Need_a_Patch to_Prevent_Wireless_Hacking_and_Tracking⠀⇛ Today, security researchers at Belgium’s KU Leuven University Computer Security and Industrial Cryptography group are revealing a collection of vulnerabilities they found in 17 audio accessories that use Google’s Fast Pair protocol and are sold by 10 different companies: Sony, Jabra, JBL, Marshall, Xiaomi, Nothing, OnePlus, Soundcore, Logitech, and Google itself. The hacking techniques the researchers demonstrated, which they’re collectively calling WhisperPair, would allow anyone within Bluetooth range of those devices—close to 50 feet in their testing—to silently pair with audio peripherals and hijack them. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2203 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/21/We_ve_Greatly_Benefited_From_the_Growth_of_GNU_Linux.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/21/We_ve_Greatly_Benefited_From_the_Growth_of_GNU_Linux.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ We've Greatly Benefited From the Growth of GNU/Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 21, 2026, updated Jan 21, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Black-capped_pigeon⦈_ For the third_day_in_a_row we served over a million requests, which we interpret as growing_interest_in_GNU/Linux_and_BSDs (not many of those requests are from bots). This is a reassuring trend and we generally believe that the attacks on us* were an own_goal, as they encourage more people to explore what we have to say. This year we vowed to write a lot more original_posts. So far, so good. We recently noticed that many of our pages, the new_pages, receive well over 2,000 requests. A few years ago exceeding 500 was considered good and back in 2013 (when Susan handed over the site to us) 500 was barely reachable for any individual page. We're not trying to flatter ourselves or pat ourselves on our own shoulders, we just deem this evidence of growing interest in Free software. Like we said yesterday: Huge_Gains_for_GNU/Linux_Thus_Far_in_2026 And earlier this month: GNU/Linux_Gained_About_0.5%_Last_Year,_According_to StatCounter 2026_will_be_a_great_year_for_GNU/Linux. One could argue it is mainstream already. In_relation_to_browsers, yesterday we caught: Opera's_gamer‑centric browser_is_coming_to_Steam_Deck_and_Linux_—_raising_questions_about_whether Windows_is_losing_its_grip_on_PC_gaming. █ _____ * In a nutshell, several years ago my wife (who runs this site and had already run it for well over a decade at that point) was subjected to horrible racial hate crime. She reported these to the police, it ended up in Court, and the Court dealt with the issue of who was (or wasn't) behind those horrible racial hate crime; it_didn't_deny_that_they_happened. It was all about attribution. =============================================================================== Image source: Black-capped_pigeon

never use it | ZDNET — When I first started using Linux, there was no choice but to work with the root user. If you needed elevated permissions, you had to su to the root user and take care of things. Most modern Linux distributions now use sudo, which temporarily gives standard users administration rights. This approach is more secure because you're not logging in to the root user account and leaving it open.

Not a question I'd expect to have answered a few years ago, as the latter was barely brought up in conversation among your usual players. That's different now, especially since Valve's Steam Deck changed the conversation by introducing SteamOS and Proton, a double-edged sword of a Linux distribution and a Windows code compatibility layer. The short answer is that Bazzite is Linux. Specifically, it's an open-source distro based on Fedora, rather than Arch, which is the basis for SteamOS. If, like me, you never strayed from Windows for the majority of your life, then a bunch of those terms will sound like complete nonsense jargon — and I agree. There are pros and cons to choosing Linux over Windows, and I'll go into the details of each. For the most part, you'll find they are extremely similar for the purpose of PC gaming, especially if you ever used a Steam Deck or Steam's Big Picture Mode on a desktop PC or laptop. I've been dual-booting Windows 11 and Fedora KDE Linux for a while now, but Bazzite is seriously tempting me. * ⚓ Marathon_Anti-Cheat_All_But_Rules_Out_Linux_Gamers_for_Upcoming Shooter⠀⇛ Anti-cheat has become a hot-button topic since the launch of Valve's Steam Deck, with many developers now moving to add Linux support to their games to cater to users of Valve's Linux-powered gaming handheld. That said, there are still a handful of large game studios that refuse to accommodate Linux gamers with their multiplayer game launches. With the game's March launch rapidly approaching, the Steam page has officially gone live, revealing that Marathon will use BattlEye kernel- level anti-cheat, which will seemingly rule out compatibility with the Valve Steam Deck and other Linux distributions. * ⚓ Marathon_Has_Anti-Cheat…_RIP_Linux_Players_I_Guess⠀⇛ Bungie has finally pulled back the curtain on the technical requirements for its upcoming extraction shooter, Marathon. While the studio recently confirmed a 5 March 2026 release date, the finer details regarding its security measures have surfaced, and it is a bitter pill to swallow for those of us who have ditched Windows in favour of Linux or the Steam Deck. In a move that mirrors the controversial stance taken with Destiny 2, Bungie has confirmed that Marathon will utilise BattlEye kernel-level anti-cheat. While robust security is sometimes a necessity for any high-stakes extraction shooter to protect the in-game economy and player experience, the implementation chosen here essentially slams the door shut on Linux users. * ⚓ Linux_Benchmarking_Transformed!_–_CapFrameX_is_coming_to_Linux⠀⇛ CapFrameX, the popular PC game benchmarking tool, is coming to Linux. Currently, the benchmarking tool is only available on Windows PCs, but this should change later this year. With the growing popularity of SteamOS, Bazzite, and other Linux distributions amongst gamers, there is growing interest in dedicated Linux benchmarking. With CapFrameX, PC enthusiasts will soon have a dedicated benchmarking tool that supports both Windows and Linux. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2458 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/21/You_came_through_for_free_software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/21/You_came_through_for_free_software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ You came through for free software!⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 21, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇FSF_Free_Software_Foundation⦈_ Quoting: You came through for free software! — You really came through this winter for free software. We made our winter goal of $400,000 USD, and more. We then launched a last-minute extension to gain 100 members in just 16 days, and we came very close to that, too. In just two weeks, 80 new associate members signed up — thank you! We don't need to remind you that free software plays a vital role in guaranteeing many other basic freedoms that are being undermined right now, like the right to be free of mass surveillance or the right to read what you want. Since our founding in 1985, we have laid out many stepping stones on the road to software freedom and we are excited to keep pushing this work forward in 2026. We will soon be announcing our plans around this year's International Day Against DRM (IDAD), our next steps on our Email Self-Defense program (which is an important step to combat mass surveillance), and some events we look forward to co-creating with you to connect with the wider global free software community. Stay tuned! Although our new member drive challenge for the beginning of the new year has come to a close, it is of course never too late to help us further our collective mission.
