EasyOS⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 15, 2026 * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Limine_10.7.0_patched_to_support_ext4⠀⇛ The developer of Limine bootloader, mintsuki, took out support for ext2/3/4 in version 6.0, but restored it in 7.12.0, then removed it again in 8.0. EasyOS prefers 'vmlinuz' and 'initrd' to be in the working- partition, which is ext4, not in a vfat partition. So, we have been stuck at 7.12.0, whereas the latest limine is now 10.7.0. * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Script_convert_limine.cfg_to_limine.conf⠀⇛ I posted earlier that the latest Limine bootloader has been patched to support ext2/3/4: https://bkhome.org/news/202602/limine-1070-patched-to-support- ext4.html The next release of EasyOS will have limine 10.7.0, but that is going to be a problem for those of us who will be updating an existing installation, internal frugal or on usb-stick. Or will it? * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Default_password_for_root_is_"woofwoof"⠀⇛ Forum member don570, at first bootup of a new installation, declined to give a password to encrypt folders in the working- partition, and at the fallback when it asks for a password for "root" and "zeus" users, he also only pressed ENTER. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 250 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/15/Bit_Brick_K1_Pro_Adds_6_TOPS_NPU_and_Dual_NVMe_to_Compact_SBC.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/15/Bit_Brick_K1_Pro_Adds_6_TOPS_NPU_and_Dual_NVMe_to_Compact_SBC.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Bit-Brick K1 Pro Adds 6 TOPS NPU and Dual NVMe to Compact SBC⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Feb 15, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇K1_Pro_top_view⦈_ Quoting: Bit-Brick K1 Pro Adds 6 TOPS NPU and Dual NVMe to Compact SBC — A 40-pin GPIO header enables bus and peripheral expansion, with multiplexed pins configurable in software.

For example, going dual-monitor meant I couldn't go back to using one screen, and Bitwarden stopped me from relying on browser password managers. However, none of them felt quite as odd as when I broke a three- decade streak and moved from Windows to Linux for the first time. Suddenly, all of the things that I had gotten used to with Windows, I didn't have to put up with anymore with Fedora. As such, it made me realize how much Windows really hindered my workflow, and how my Fedora Kinoite installation fixes that.

To combat this, we arm myself with open source software that helps us efficiently capture a lot of information. We generally prefer to keep our information local and cloud-free, primarily for security reasons. And we primarily advance software which doesn’t tie itself to any specific company or service, whether it’s Evernote, Google, or Microsoft. Note-taking apps are the online equivalent of notebooks, and because they’re digital, they can do more for you than paper can. Note-taking apps also include text search, so in a matter of seconds, you can find whatever notes you need. There is a wide range of competent note taking software for Linux. This article focuses on apps that have a Text User Interface (TUI). A TUI program is a terminal-based application that provides an interactive, menu-driven interface using text and keyboard navigation rather than a graphical interface (GUI). Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion. * ⚓ sled_-_simple_text_editor_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ sled is a simple text editor with a terminal UI.

Here’s what made a difference. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ Christiano Anderson ☛ My_Experience_with_Self-Hosted_RSS solution⠀⇛ Miniflux is a minimalist, open-source RSS feed reader that you can host yourself. It’s super super lightweight, fast, and incredibly focused on doing one thing well: delivering your RSS feeds without any bloat or tracking. Unlike commercial RSS readers, Miniflux respects your privacy by default - no ads, no tracking, and no data mining. The installation process is straightforward if you’re comfortable with self-hosting. I deployed it using Podman on my own server, imported my OPML file and within minutes I got a clean, distraction-free interface for my main news sources. o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ The_problem_of_delivering_errors_to syndication_feed_readers⠀⇛ As a practical thing, if you want people using blocked syndication feed readers to have a chance to see your explanation, you need to reply with a syndication feed with an entry that is your (HTML) message to them (either directly or through HTTP 302 redirections). Creating this stub feed and properly serving it to appropriate visitors may be anywhere from annoying to challenging. Also, you can't reply with HTTP error statuses (and the feed) even though that's arguably the right thing to do. If you want syndication feed readers to process your stub feed, you need to provide it as part of a HTTP 200 reply. o § Chromium⠀➾ # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Over_300_Malicious_Chrome_Extensions_Caught Leaking_or_Stealing_User_Data⠀⇛ With more than 37 million combined downloads, the extensions expose users to tracking and personal information theft. * § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ o ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ Celebrating_“I_love_Free_Software_day”⠀⇛ LibreOffice is free software – but “free” is about way more than just being zero-cost. It’s about giving users fundamental freedoms in how they run, share, study and improve their software and computers – giving control back to them. * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Jack Baty ☛ The_all-new_baty.blog⠀⇛ I didn't have the guts to replace my main blog at baty.net yet. Too much work. o ⚓ Kev Quirk ☛ Updates_to_My_Commenting_System⠀⇛ I've been making some updates to my personal_commenting system. o ⚓ Jack Baty ☛ Blog_management_fatigue⠀⇛ Sometimes I just want a CMS. Static blogs using Markdown files are great, but I like to post a lot of images, and SSGs make that more difficult. I've scripted a few things to help, but nothing beats a nice drag-and-drop UI. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Embodied_machine_learning:_From_research_ideas_to classroom_activities_-_Raspberry_Pi_Foundation⠀⇛ Where do great research ideas come from in computer science education? We might think of research breakthroughs as a single moment of genius, but in reality impactful research is often the result of many years of iterative development. In November’s research seminar, we heard from Karl-Emil Kjær Bilstrup, a researcher at the University of Copenhagen, about his work to develop ML-Machine. This work uses embodied learning principles and the BBC micro:bit to introduce learners to machine learning concepts. Findings from this research have been used to develop the micro:bit CreateAI resources, and in this blog, we will explain the research journey from initial small-scale work to educational resources used by many young learners around the world. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 815 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/15/Games_150_Steam_Machine_Proton_Nvidia_and_Razer.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/15/Games_150_Steam_Machine_Proton_Nvidia_and_Razer.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: 150 Steam Machine, Proton, Nvidia and Razer⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 15, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Linux_desktop⦈_ * ⚓ $150_Steam_Machine:_Mining_surplus_becomes_a_Linux_console_with_60_FPS |_igor´sLAB⠀⇛ A DIY project with a powerful message: YouTuber ETA Prime builds a kind of Steam Machine from a mining board – for around $150. The basis is the ASRock BC-250, a relic from the crypto euphoria, equipped with partially defective console chips. The result: surprisingly playable, but technically not a sure-fire success. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Steam_says_a_lot_of_games_aren't_compatible_with_Proton,_but_you can_sometimes_make_them_work_anyway⠀⇛ If you've ever browsed Steam on Linux, or even just poked around the Steam Deck compatibility pages, you've probably seen a wall of games flagged as "not compatible with Proton." There's no green checkmark, and no reassuring "Verified" badge. Instead, there's just a quiet warning that suggests the game you already own might as well not exist on your platform of choice. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Even_Nvidia_and_Razer_are_now_taking_Linux_more_seriously⠀⇛ Linux gaming used to be considered the niche of niches within the PC gaming world. No one played games on Linux, at least not with high degrees of success. The issue with earlier kernel versions, distro releases, and before Proton arrived, the entire process was challenging at best and impossible at worst. Depending on the game, it may or may not even work. In 2025 (and moving into this current year), things have progressed considerably. Before Valve brought Proton to light for the Steam Deck, Linux gaming was at the mercy of developers and tools like WINE. Getting many games to work on Linux required numerous steps to complete. It was a mess, and while not perfect, we've come a long way with added support, allowing Linux users to enjoy many of their favorite games with very little effort. It couldn't have come at a better time, too, with Windows 10 wrapping up and gamers looking for Windows 11 alternatives. ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⡠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷ ⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣾⣟ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣶⣾ ⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣹⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⠿⠿⢟⢺⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠛⠋ ⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣤⣤ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀ ⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡭⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢽⠿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣀⠀⠀⢼⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣈⡻ ⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣷⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⢛⣛⣛⣉⣉⡭⠥⠤⠤⣶⣒⣶⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡿⠿⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⢛⣛⣋⣉⣭⣭⡭⠤⠴⠶⣖⣚⣛⣿⣭⣭⣭⣽⣷⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⢠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣶⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣭⣷⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⡍⣯⠛⣦⠴⣂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠐⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢽⣿⣿⣟⣽⡧⣯⣳⣧⡿⣟⢌⡻⡌⢵⠌⠶⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢿⣯⣿⣿⣿⡾⣟⣟⣟⡳⣭⣩⡿⣶⡾⢓⡹⢧⡹⣤⠱⠦⢀⠄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⠓⢹⣟⣿⣽⡿⠿⡿⣿⡿⣿⡻⣿⣵⠿⣷⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⢿⢟⠿⢦⢛⡂⣻⣊⠋⢀⠁⠀⠀⠁⠈⣀⣬⣾⣿⣵⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠎⠽⣾⠾⣿⣿⣿⣭⠿⠏⠞⠟⣛⣛⣭⣯⣭⣽⣷⣷⣷⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢩⠔⠀⠽⢴⣪⢆⠭⣸⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠛⠛⢻⣿⡟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢴⣶⠶⠿⠟⠛⠁⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠠⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣴⣶⣶⠿⠿⠟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢶⣄⡀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣂⣨⣭⣴⣶⣶⣶⡿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣖⢰⢸⢖⣞⣳⡿⡏⠛ ⠀⠀⠀⠳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣒⣀⣤⣤⣤⣶⣾⣿⡿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 909 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/15/GNU_Linux_and_ChromeOS_Hit_5_in_Anguilla.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/15/GNU_Linux_and_ChromeOS_Hit_5_in_Anguilla.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux and ChromeOS Hit 5% in Anguilla⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 15, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Flag_of_Anguilla⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Desktop_Operating_System_Market_Share_in_Anguilla_-_January 2026⦈_ Not many people know of Anguilla because fewer than 20,000 people live there and it's_more_than_10_times_smaller_than_Hong_Kong (which isn't large either).

Projects built around read- only base systems, atomic updates, and easy rollbacks are increasingly framed as the future of Linux for the average user. The pitch is compelling on paper: an operating system you can’t accidentally break, updates that either work or cleanly revert, and a system that behaves more like an appliance than a computer. As elegant as that design is, it doesn't actually solve a problem that home users have. More people that aren't knowledgeable about Linux won't be doing things that cause unrecoverable damage to their OS, and would be better off with a normal distro that gives them a bit more freedom. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_found_a_free_tool_that_makes_setting_up_NixOS_instances incredibly_simple⠀⇛ NixOS is famous for letting you define an entire system in configuration, then rebuild it with the confidence of a repeatable recipe. It is also infamous for making newcomers feel as if they have wandered into a language lab run by a very stern librarian. The gap is not the idea; it’s the on-ramp. The faster you can get a working instance into the environment you actually use, the sooner NixOS starts feeling practical. That’s why nixos-generators is such a useful little utility. It takes a NixOS configuration and produces output images that match real-world targets, like installers, virtual machines, and other deployable artifacts. Instead of treating “NixOS install” as a single path, it lets you pick the destination first and then generate the appropriate build for it. In practice, it turns experimentation into something you can do in an afternoon rather than the weekend. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_switched_from_Arch_to_something_boring,_but_I_still_want_to switch_back⠀⇛ For the past several months, I've been using Arch Linux as the operating system of choice on my laptop, and I've been enjoying it. But a rolling release like Arch isn't for everyone. There are some risks that come with getting updates as quickly and frequently as you do on Arch, and things don't get as much testing, so compatibility can sometimes be a problem. So I decided to try and switch to something a little more "boring" — and more importantly, more stable — and I switched to Aurora. This is one of the most stable options you can get since it's an immutable operating system based on Universal Blue. And while I appreciate the stability and reliability, I still find myself wishing to go back. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Vanilla_OS_2_lets_me_run_Ubuntu,_Fedora,_and_Arch_apps_at_the same_time⠀⇛ Linux is a big and rich ecosystem, but one of the annoying things about how flexible it is as a platform is the disparity that can appear between using the different flavors of Linux out there. Even app compatibility can be a problem, because distros like Debian and Ubuntu support DEB packages, others like Fedora may use RPM packages, and others still may just rely on a package manager, and even those package managers are different between distros. There are "cross-platform" packages like Flatpak, but not every app is available in that format. So what if there was a system that could run all of these app types at the same time, and even added support for Android apps for good measure? That's where Vanilla OS 2 comes in, and it's kind of amazing. I spent some time with this platform and came away very impressed with what it can do and how easy it is to use. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Linux_distros_are_finally_competing_on_design,_and_it_shows⠀⇛ Linux desktops used to treat design as something you handled after installation finished. If the wallpaper was decent and the panel landed where your muscle memory expected it to, that was considered a win. Everything else was a pile of options, plus a quiet assumption that you would enjoy sorting them out. That era is fading fast. Today, more distros ship with a deliberate look, a consistent tone, and a clear opinion about how the desktop should feel. This shift is not only about aesthetics. Design has become shorthand for trust, usability, and everyday comfort, because those things are tightly linked. When a distro feels coherent, it signals that someone cared about the whole experience, not just the kernel version and driver support. It also raises expectations across the board, because once you’ve lived with a polished setup, you notice every jagged edge elsewhere. The pressure created by that contrast is now reshaping the ecosystem. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠈⠉⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣶⣤⣀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣀⡀⠈⠉⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⣾⠃⠉⠙⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣀⡀⠈⠉⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣮⣀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡂⢩⣽⣻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢈⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣀⡀⠈⠩⠇⡀⠉⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣀⠉⠐⠤⢀⡐⢭⡟⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣄⡀⠈⠉⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠁⠀⠉⠛⠛⠿⣿⣿⡿⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣈⣽⣗⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣄⣀⠈⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠇⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⡛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠐⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⣻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡎⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣖⣪⠅⠚⠿⠛⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣀⡀⠀⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⠭⠄⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡈⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠗⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣄⡀⠀⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠆⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣄⣼⡿⣻⣟⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⠻⠏⠈⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣦⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣀⡺⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⢀⣴⣷⣶⣦⡤ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢲⠍⠛⠻⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠺⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠋⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣉⡛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⢿⣿⣍⣙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣬⣙⣻⡃⠈⠤⢩⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⢩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⠟⠁⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⢠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣀⠀⠛⠻⢿⢃⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠈⠙⠾⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣌⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠻⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⡼⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢽⡿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿ ⠦⢄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢁⣠⡞⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣳⠄⢺⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⢿⣿⣿⣟⠇⠉⠛⡻⣧⢰⡯⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠁⠀⠀⠙⠶⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1139 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/15/GNU_Linux_in_Greece.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/15/GNU_Linux_in_Greece.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux in Greece⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 15, 2026, updated Feb 15, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Diagonal_screwing_movements_that_occur_during_walking, swimming,_and_flying.⦈_ We used to habitually write about Greece because of its adoption of GNU/Linux.

Contain_your_Windows_apps_inside_Linux Windows⠀⇛ For all the abilities of modern Linux, there are some apps – especially paid commercial ones – that still require Windows. We outlined three ways to run Windows apps on Linux in May 2025. WINE is amazing and the current version can run a lot of Windows apps smoothly on Linux – but there are limits to its compatibility: for instance, there's no Microsoft Store. The main alternative is to run a real copy of Windows inside a virtual machine, and when you need those specific tools, fire up the VM, and use the apps inside it. (Since late 1994, the desktop version of VMWare is free to use – and it both offers pretty good performance for Windows guests, and some helpful integration tools.) Even so, managing a VM does require some effort, and moving your files and data between host and VM inevitably means some extra legwork. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ The_(very)_old_"repaint_mode"_GUI approach⠀⇛ Today I ran across another article that talked in passing about "retained mode" versus "immediate mode" GUI toolkits (this one, via), and gave some code samples. As usual when I read about immediate mode GUIs and see source code, I had a pause of confusion because the code didn't feel right. That's because I keep confusing "immediate mode" as used here with a much older approach, which I will call repaint mode for lack of a better description. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ The New Stack ☛ HackerOS_is_what_a_GNU/Linux_enthusiast’s_OS should_be⠀⇛ There are over 1,000 GNU/Linux distributions on the market. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Christian Hofstede-Kuhn ☛ RHEL_on_ZFS_Root:_An_Unholy Experiment⠀⇛ Let me be absolutely clear from the start: this is a terrible idea. Red Hat does not support ZFS on root. The supported solution in the RHEL ecosystem is Stratis. If you do this in production, you’re on your own. If you call Red Hat support with ZFS issues, they will politely suggest you reproduce the problem on a supported configuration before they even look at it. This was purely an experiment for the lolz. Here’s what I did and why you shouldn’t. o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Debian ☛ Bits_from_Debian:_DebConf_26_Registration_and_Call for_Proposals_are_open⠀⇛ Registration and the Call for Proposals for DebConf 26 are now open.

It's one that had escaped my notice for a long time, but I was pretty sure I'd struck gold when I saw it. Q4OS has been around since 2014 when Windows XP reached end-of-life. Given that Windows 10 similarly reached its technical expiration date last year, and Q4OS is still seeing development, I thought it's the perfect time to give this Linux distribution a try.

Instead, they put a Niri/Noctalia setup into the KaOS Linux 2026.02 release, while retaining the distribution’s unique look and still offering users access to popular KDE applications that were shipped with the Plasma desktop. However, this release still ships with systemd as the default init system.

Since then neighbours keeps joining us in feeding the birds and showing solidarity. As an activist in the area of Free Software for over 2 decades already, it warms my heart because it shows that insistence and persistence pay off. The activism can become contagious - it spreads. Every time somebody tries to deprive the birds of food we find a workaround, a solution. There's always a way. Even if it "takes a village..." For new adopters of GNU/Linux there are sometimes reasons to just "give up" or "call it quits" ("this application I like is not available in Linux!!!"), but with patience and long-term thinking the journey can be completed. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Two_Hummingbirds_with_Their_Young

In a recent video,[Henrique Ferrolho] demonstrated that this little sensor can also be used to perform a 3D scan of a room. The sensor data can be combined with an IMU to add orientation information to the scan data. These data streams are then combined by an ESP32 MCU that streams the data as JSON to a connected computer. * ⚓ Ken Shirriff ☛ Instruction_decoding_in_the_Intel_8087_floating-point chip⠀⇛ In the 1980s, if you wanted your IBM PC to run faster, you could buy the Intel 8087 floating-point coprocessor chip. With this chip, CAD software, spreadsheets, flight simulators, and other programs were much speedier. The 8087 chip could add, subtract, multiply, and divide, of course, but it could also compute transcendental functions such as tangent and logarithms, as well as provide constants such as π. In total, the 8087 added 62 new instructions to the computer. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ xSDR_packs_2x2_MIMO,_Artix-7_FPGA,_and_3.8_GHz_tuning into_M.2_2230_form_factor⠀⇛ The LMS7002M supports dual-channel transmit and receive paths with channel bandwidths from 0.5 MHz to 90 MHz.

The response is often hesitation or outright fear. I get it. Rebase has a reputation for destroying work, and the warnings you see online don’t help. Here’s the thing: the worst case scenario for a rebase gone wrong is that you delete your local clone and start over. That’s it. Your remote fork still exists. The main repository still exists. You can always recover. With that fear addressed, let me show you how to rebase. * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ Package_Management_Namespaces⠀⇛ RubyGems, PyPI, crates.io, Hex, Hackage, CRAN, and LuaRocks all use flat namespaces: one global pool of names, first-come- first-served. You pick a name, and if nobody has it, it’s yours. * ⚓ Niko_Matsakis:_Sharing_in_Dada⠀⇛ OK, let’s talk about sharing. This is the first of Dada blog posts where things start to diverge from Rust in a deep way and I think the first where we start to see some real advantages to the Dada way of doing things (and some of the tradeoffs I made to achieve those advantages). § We are shooting for a GC-like experience without GC Let’s start with the goal: earlier, I said that Dada was like “Rust where you never have to type as_ref”. But what I really meant is that I want a GC-like experience–without the GC. * ⚓ Parallelizing_Game_Hey_Hi_(AI)_:_A_Deep_Dive_into_Multi-Threading Libraries_for_Search_Algorithms⠀⇛ Game Hey Hi (AI) engines, particularly those using tree search algorithms like alpha-beta pruning and MTD(f), are computationally intensive. As modern devices from desktops to mobile phones feature multi-core processors, parallelizing these algorithms has become essential for creating stronger Hey Hi (AI) opponents without sacrificing response time. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Introducing_geoboundaries⠀⇛ If you’ve ever worked with spatial data in R, this may ring a bell… * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Fitting_time-to-event_models_with_an_environmental_covariate⠀⇛ * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Python_Mutable_References_with_Caching⠀⇛ So, while working with caching and scrapping, I understood the difference between immutable and mutable objects/datatypes very clearly. I had a scenario, where I am webscraping an Hey Hi (AI) the code looks like this. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Data Swamp ☛ Revert_fish_shell_deleting_shortcuts_behavior⠀⇛ In a recent change within fish shell, the shortcut to delete last words were replaced by "delete last big chunk" (I don't know exactly how it is called in this case) which is usually the default behavior on Mac OS "command" key vs "alt" key and I guess it is why it was changed like this on fish. Unfortunately, this broke everyone's habit and a standard keyboard do not even offer the new keybinding that received the old behavior. There is an open issue asking to revert this change. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1969 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/15/Recent_Proxmox_Coverage_at_Valnet.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/15/Recent_Proxmox_Coverage_at_Valnet.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Recent Proxmox Coverage at Valnet⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 15, 2026 * ⚓ XDA ☛ Proxmox_is_overkill_for_your_first_server,_and_that's_exactly_why you_should_learn_it⠀⇛ Whether you’re planning to put together a server from enterprise-tier equipment or just want to reuse an old PC that’s been gathering dust, you’ll need to arm your tinkering node with an operating system. For folks who’ve been in the home lab ecosystem, you’ll probably go with a powerful virtualization platform like Proxmox without batting an eye. But when you’re a newcomer to home servers and only have limited experience outside of Windows, Proxmox may seem somewhat convoluted for your needs. Truth be told, it probably is overkill for your project- building needs, especially considering that you can deploy VMs and containers on Windows and GUI-heavy Linux distributions. But if you’re even remotely into servers, you’ll want to get familiar with Proxmox, as its complexity and production-grade features are precisely what make it the ideal learning platform. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Proxmox's_best_feature_isn't_virtualization;_it's_the_backup system⠀⇛ Proxmox is one of the most frequent names you'll likely come across for running a virtualized self-hosted home lab. It has everything required to get up and running in no time, including high availability, clustering, Linux container (LXC) support, and full KVM. It's also open-source and available for free, though optional subscriptions are available should you require them. We've been using Proxmox here at XDA for years now with great success, but interestingly, I find the best part about Proxmox isn't the virtualization itself, but the available backup system. Backups are vital for any operation. This could be something simple, like your smartphone or an entire home-based data center. This handy strategy of making copies of your successfully running systems allows one to return from disaster with the click of a button or CLI command. The best part of Proxmox and backups is that it's all integrated into the system without requiring third-party tools. Configuring backups within Proxmox can be achieved seamlessly while setting up virtual instances to run just about everything you could imagine. * ⚓ XDA ☛ 4_Windows_tools_I_replaced_with_a_single_Linux_VM⠀⇛ Over the last few years, my Windows install has slowly accumulated a collection of tools, most of which don't really need to live on my main workstation. A scheduled task here, a network scanner there, an SSH client I swore I’d uninstall later, and half a dozen small utilities that only existed because Windows wasn’t great at that specific job. None of them were particularly heavy applications on their own, but I was growing a bit tired of the clutter. I decided it was time to put my Proxmox box to good use, and create a Linux VM that I could use for these utilities. The result was a cleaner workstation, and tools that work better for my use case. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2053 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/15/Solicitors_Regulation_Authority_SRA_Puff_Pieces_Won_t_Solve_SRA.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/15/Solicitors_Regulation_Authority_SRA_Puff_Pieces_Won_t_Solve_SRA.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) Puff Pieces Won't Solve SRA Problems⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 15, 2026, updated Feb 15, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Solicitors_Regulation_Authority_(SRA)_Puff_Piece⦈_ The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) is letting_down_many_women_abused_by men.

At least it powers on, connects to Wi-Fi, and does what it should. The only small problem is that using it feels like too much work. It takes several minutes to boot, feels sluggish when opening new apps, and ordinary typing may lag at times. It still runs Windows 10, but the computer has become too slow, and the user experience is quite unpleasant. [...] What made Linux Mint Xfce an easy pick is that it doesn’t pretend you have an infinite number of resources on your device. It idled at around 350 to 400MB of RAM on first boot, and I barely noticed CPU usage. But the behavior is more significant than the numbers, and Linux Mint Xfce did not disappoint. I didn't notice constant disk chatter or services that wake up every few minutes. More importantly, the distro strips away unnecessary visual effects, allowing windows to open instantly because there are no extra struggles in getting animations running. Linux Mint Xfce inherits polish from Mint, which adds some flavor, since Xfce on its own can be bare. Without bloating the system, it inherits sensible defaults like a preconfigured Update Manager, the Timeshift snapshot tool, and the Driver Manager.

Linuxize ☛ Wget_Cheatsheet⠀⇛ Quick reference for downloading files and mirroring websites with wget * ⚓ Linux.org ☛ Proxmox_VE_Series_Part_2:_Installing_Proxmox⠀⇛ Installing Proxmox is a simple process. We will learn more in later articles, especially the next one about updating it, adding users and the like. There can be some configuration to do if you are running a Proxmox server without a subscription since it defaults to having a subscription. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_qBittorrent_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ qBittorrent stands as one of the most popular open-source BitTorrent clients available for GNU/Linux systems today. This lightweight, ad-free alternative to proprietary torrent software offers a clean interface packed with powerful features that rival any commercial solution. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Dozzle_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ Managing Docker containers can quickly become overwhelming when you’re juggling multiple applications. Checking logs through command-line interfaces works, but it’s tedious and time-consuming. Dozzle offers an elegant solution—a lightweight, real-time log viewer that runs in your browser and makes Docker container monitoring effortless. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OpenRGB_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ RGB lighting has become ubiquitous in modern PC hardware, from motherboards and RAM to keyboards and cooling fans.

I remember back in the late-90s to early-2000s, when it'd start up if you didn't shut down properly, and it usually took an age to complete. These days, it's not so intrusive, but you still need to reboot to actually repair your filesystem. Fortunately, it seems that Linux 7.0 may get a new feature on the XFS filesystem that will automatically perform a similar task while you're still using your PC, and while it's not guaranteed to be in 7.0 just yet, it's in the final stages and just waiting for Linus himself to give it a thumbs-up. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ XDA ☛ 6_GNOME_extensions_that_made_me_stop_missing_Windows entirely⠀⇛ Moving away from Windows 11 after living on it for such a long time can be difficult, and especially so if you're switching to Linux and using Ubuntu, one of the most popular Linux distros out there. I've mentioned before that Ubuntu is one of the major reasons why more Windows users don't switch to Linux, and a big part of that is the GNOME desktop environment being so different. You wouldn't be blamed for missing the familiarity of Windows. But that's where GNOME extensions come in. The interface in GNOME is extremely customizable once you set up an extension manager (sadly, Ubuntu doesn't come with one, but it's easy to install), and with that, you can easily make it so that you never have to miss Windows at all. I used the extensions below to stop missing Windows, and you might want to do the same. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ ZDNet ☛ Why_my_favorite_Linux_distro_is_slowing_down_-_and I'm_thrilled_about_it⠀⇛ My favorite Linux desktop distribution, Linux Mint, is considering slowing down its release cadence. That's because, as lead developer Clement "Clem" Lefebvre explained, while releasing often has worked very well, it produces "these incremental improvements release after release. But it takes a lot of time, and it caps our ambition when it comes to development. … [so] We're thinking about changing that and adopting a longer development cycle." * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ This_free_app_replaced_my_entire_office_suite without_any_learning_curve⠀⇛ Rather than owning the licenses to these programs, Microsoft now wants users to sign up for yet another subscription service to access the Microsoft Office suite of products. It doesn't matter if it's Photoshop or anything else, I'm not going to pay a monthly subscription to use computer software. That's when I stumbled upon a worthy competitor for the Office crown. Open-source, feature-packed, and most importantly? Free for everyone who needs software like this. [...] In my search to replace most of the paid programs on my PC with open-source alternatives, LibreOffice checked all the boxes for things that I needed. It gives me a chance to write and create documents and export them in .docx, pdf, or other Microsoft- accessible file formats. And it all works nearly identically to the programs that I wanted to replace. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 5_powerful_Python_one-liners_that_will make_you_a_better_coder⠀⇛ Most Python programmers have a common reason to love the language. It lets you get more done with less code. Over time, this leads to a culture of “why write ten lines if one will do?” Let's look at a few everyday programming tasks and see how Python can compress them into elegant one-liners. § List comprehension Let’s start with one of the most iconic Python features: list comprehensions​​​​​​. At a basic level, list comprehensions let you build a new Python list by applying an expression to each element of an existing iterable, optionally with a condition. In other words: transform and filter data in a single, readable expression. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸⠇⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⠀⠀⣺⣿⣿⣿⡅⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⠀⠘⠛⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⢸ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣭⣘⣿⣿⡗⡇⡿⠀⢠⣿⣿⠿⠿⠇⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠫⠛⣛⣛⣉⣀⣥⣤⠐⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢿⢿⣿⢸⣿⣿⡇⠿⠿⠿⠿⠸⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡾⡥⡅⣿⣿⣧⣧⢳⠀⢀⣀⣀⣤⣀⡀⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⢹⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠄⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⡀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡯⠧⢻⣿⡇⣿⢸⠀⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⡶⡶⠶⠶⠶⠿⠛⠿⠿⢿⣛⣛⣻⣐⣧⣛⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣷⣟⣸⣿⣿⣿⣼⣄⡸⠿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢐⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⣠⣤⣬⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⡇⢀⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⣿ ⢩⣿⣛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠶⠶⠶⠀⠀⠘⢲⣶⣶⡒⢓⣒⣒⢒⢶⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠇⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿ ⢸⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⢶⣤⣴⡤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣬⣥⣤⣤⣤⢀⡀⠀⢐⢿⣿⡗⠘⠿⠿⠛⣀⢂⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣾⣾⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣷⣷⠆⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⢿ ⠚⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣛⣛⡛⠛⠛⠛⠂⠀⠀⢸⢿⣿⡗⠐⣛⣛⠀⣭⣾⣿⣿⣿⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⢠⠀⠀⢸⢛⣿⡧⠦⡿⠇⠀⣶⣸⣟⣿⠀⢀⣤⣶⣶⣦⢤⣄⠀⠀⣶⣒⡒⣒⡚⡉⡉⠈⠍⠁⠡⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⠀⢠⣶ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⡋⠀⣛⡛⡀⣿⣿⣶⠇⢰⣿⣻⣻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⣿⣽⣿⣿⡿⡿⡿⠓⠶⠶⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣛⣭⡅⠀⢸⣹⡯⠁⠀⠉⠙⠀⣿⣿⣿⣰⣽⣷⣿⣻⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⠚⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⠛⠒⠒⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠸⢿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣛⣭⣷⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⡿⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣿⣿⢨⢹⣿⣿⣼⣟⣻⣶⣿⣿⠈⣿⣿⣫⣭⡀⠀⢀⠆⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢽⣽⣿⢷⣷⣿⢏⡇⠀⢸⠺⠦⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⢿⠿⣿⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⡟⠈⣿⣯⣫⣿⣿⡧⡄⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣻⢿⠇⢰⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠐⣾ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⠿⠤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⠀⠀⠉⠛⠿⠿⠃⠁⠀⠀⢻⣋⣛⠛⠻⠿⠗⠛⠚⠏⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣭⣭⣩⣍⠅⠀⢸⣿⡟⠦⠄⠀⠀⠀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣤⣠⣠⣀⣀⡀⠀⠈⠙⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⠇⠁⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⠆⠀⠭⠽⢿⣳⣶⣀⣀⠀⠍⢿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣦⣤⣄⣤⣤⣀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠘ ⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠛⠛⠓⠶⠶⢮⣤⣴⣯⣍⣭⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢰ ⣾⣿⣖⠲⠤⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡿⠿⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠻⠶⠾⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠛⠛⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⢘ ⣽⣿⣿⡇⡀⠀⠈⠉⠓⠲⠤⣄⣀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⢿⣿⣭⣿⣿⡇⠀⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉ ⣿⣟⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⢠⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢴ ⣿⠿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠉⠀⠒⠁⠀⢐⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⡇⡤⢄⠤⣞ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠃⠓⠋⠉⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2975 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/15/Wayland_might_be_the_future_of_Linux_but_I_m_not_leaving_X11_ye.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/15/Wayland_might_be_the_future_of_Linux_but_I_m_not_leaving_X11_ye.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Wayland might be the future of Linux, but I’m not leaving X11 yet⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 15, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇not_leaving_X11⦈_ Linux distros have been slowly adopting Wayland, a new display server standard that aims to address the problems of X11. As more distros make Wayland the default option, X11 is starting to fade out. The new Linux display tech is much better than the old one, offers robust security, and values battery efficiency. However, some users still want to keep X11 as the default option for as long as possible. Despite the shiny new tech, X11 seems to be a more reliable option due to its compatibility with a variety of apps. It doesn’t break as often and has good GPU driver support, making it a no-nonsense option for many. Let’s discuss the intent behind sticking to X11.
