However, I've never seen a dev team go the opposite way until today. As good as I think KDE Plasma is, some teams just don't want to jump through the hoops that it demands, as proven by one OS that used KDE Plasma for years will now use a different desktop environment.

Have you noticed that your “Linux skills” break the moment you try another distro? Here are four reasons why Ubuntu-only users are missing the real Linux experience. Linux has a reputation for being complicated and inaccessible to the less tech-savvy user base. Now, Ubuntu has become popular precisely for solving this problem. It ships with sensible defaults and graphical tools that make Linux less technically intimidating—giving you a functional operating system that works out of the box. However, if you stick with this default workflow and don’t evolve, you’re really missing what Linux is all about. * ⚓ 8_Ubuntu_tips_and_tricks_for_first-time_users⠀⇛ When I’m asked to recommend a Linux distribution for beginners, I always suggest Ubuntu. It’s one of the easiest to master, but there’s still a learning curve for longtime Windows users. Here's what I recommend for first-time Ubuntu users to make the transition much easier. The great thing about Ubuntu is that it has a refined, user- friendly interface. The default GNOME desktop environment is simple to navigate and understand, but there’s still a catch. If you’re using Linux for anything more than browsing the web long enough, you’re going to need to use the terminal at some point, and it’s a good idea to master some basic Linux commands sooner rather than later. * ⚓ 3_essential_settings_I_change_on_every_fresh_Ubuntu_install⠀⇛ Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: Ubuntu is probably the Linux distro I keep coming back to most frequently. It's also many people's first distro. It's really good, and really customizable. But I'm not fully okay with some of its defaults. Your experience might change a lot by changing these three defaults on your latest install. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿

We have recently announced that tag2upload is, in our opinion, now very stable, and ready for general use by all Debian uploaders. tag2upload, as part of Debian’s git transition programme, is very flexible - it needs to support a large variety of maintainer practices. And it’s relatively unopinionated, wherever that’s possible. But, during the open beta, various contributors emailed us asking for Debian packaging git workflow advice and recommendations. This post is an attempt to give some more opinionated answers, and guide you through modernising your workflow. * § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ o ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_26.04_splits_firmware_package_to_reduce update_sizes⠀⇛ Ubuntu 26.04 LTS will split its 600MB linux-firmware package into 17 vendor-specific packages to reduce bandwidth and download sizes of firmware updates. o ⚓ Logikal Solutions ☛ Ubuntu_F'ed_Networking_Again!⠀⇛ I’ve lost count of the number of times Ubuntu F’ed Networking over the course of my career. Was that the 2008 edition when the ISO ran great, it installed, and after it installed updates, all wifi using Broadcom chips ceased to work? It was great! They were used in something like 80+% of all laptops and I don’t know how many of those USB Wifi dongles. Ubuntu just can’t be used for anything that matters. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 663 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/16/Development_Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/16/Development_Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Development/Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 16, 2026 * ⚓ Consensus Labs LLC ☛ Generating_vector_embeddings_for_semantic_search locally_-_The_Consensus⠀⇛ In applications today we represent "things" as rows in a table. A row for each book in a Goodreads dataset. A row for each product in an Amazon dataset. And for the last few decades we’ve been working on ways to turn the textual (as well as associated graphics, audio, etc.) into meaningful vectors of rational (decimal) numbers. * ⚓ Justin Duke ☛ Notes_on_"Harness_Engineering"⠀⇛ I try to keep an open but keen mind when reading these posts, both trying to find things that don't make much sense when you think about them for more than a couple seconds and what things are clearly in the internal zeitgeist for these companies but haven't quite filtered themselves out into mainland. And so I read Harness Engineering with this spirit in mind. Some notes: [...] * ⚓ C++ Stories ☛ Understanding_std::shared_mutex_from_C++17⠀⇛ In this article, we’ll start with a basic example using std:: mutex, look at its limitations, and then introduce std:: shared_mutex, a reader-writer mutex added in C++17. Even in 2026, with many new concurrency features available, std:: shared_mutex is still a valuable and practical tool. Let’s jump in. * ⚓ [Old] Aaron Brethorst ☛ What_Volunteer_Open_Source_Taught_Me_About Remote_Teams⠀⇛ The challenge isn’t the technology. The challenge is that my team is almost entirely volunteers, scattered across time zones from Seattle to Europe to Asia. Nobody is getting paid. Nobody has guaranteed availability. Any volunteer could disappear tomorrow because their day job got busy or they just lost interest. This is not how you’d staff a project if you had the choice. But you work with what you have, and over the past year I’ve learned some things about making distributed volunteer teams productive that I think apply to remote work more broadly. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Justin Duke ☛ Outgrowing_Django_admin⠀⇛ Let's set aside the visual design of the admin for a second, because arguing about visual design is not compelling prose. To me, the core issue with Django's admin interface, once you get more mature, is the fact that it's a very simple request-response lifecycle. Django pulls all the data, state, and information you might need and throws it up to a massive behemoth view for you to digest and interact with. It is by definition atomic: you are looking at a specific model, and the only way to bring in other models to the detail view is by futzing around with inlines and formsets. o ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ How_bad_can_Python_stop-the-world_pauses_get?⠀⇛ The common Python implementation has both types: reference counting and generational garbage collection. The generational garbage collection component can trigger pauses. A lot of servers are written in Python. It means that your service might just become unavailable for a time. We often call them ‘stop the world’ pauses. How long can this pause get? To test this out, I wrote a Python function to create a classical linked list: [...] ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 770 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/16/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.1.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/16/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Feb 16, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇S3_File_Systems_and_Tools⦈_ * ⚓ 7_Useful_Free_and_Open_Source_S3_File_Systems_and_Tools_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Organizations turn to Amazon S3 for its outstanding scalability and durability, making it a top choice for data lakes, backup solutions, and serving static content. It offers virtually limitless and secure storage capabilities of up to 5TB per object, ensuring users only pay for the storage they utilize, all while benefiting from automated and efficient data management solutions. This roundup focuses on software that turns S3 into a convenient file system. We also include a few useful S3 utilities. Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion. * ⚓ ComChan_-_minimal_serial_monitor_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Comchan (short for “Communication Channel”) is a fast, minimal, and beginner-friendly serial monitor. It’s built for makers, tinkerers, students, embedded developers — anyone who works with serial-connected devices like Arduino, ESP32, Teensy, or Raspberry Pi, and wants a clean, modern, and reliable way to talk to them from the terminal.

All I had done was update Windows, and on startup, my computer booted straight into Windows. It was like Linux had never existed on the computer. All my partitions remained intact, but my firmware state didn’t. Dual-booting is easy; however, these systems share a single EFI System Partition, modify UEFI boot variables, navigate TPM-backed security, and manage filesystems that don’t entirely trust each other. Treating it like a normal installation can be costly.

Gaming is one of those key areas, and it doesn't matter if it's on a handheld device or a dedicated desktop. After getting my hands on a ROG Ally X and replacing the default Windows 11 installation with SteamOS, I figured maybe it was time to start dual-booting my PC to achieve something similar.

Writers come from many different backgrounds, each with their own style and personality. Even so, there are a few traits that most writers share. They’re naturally curious, they enjoy turning rough ideas into something clear and engaging, and they rely on tools that help them stay focused and keep their work organized. Different kinds of writers also gravitate toward different tools. Creative writers often look for apps that encourage free‑flowing ideas and flexible story development. Journalists and bloggers tend to prefer fast, collaborative environments that keep their workflow moving. Academic writers depend on citation managers and structured drafting tools to handle their sources. Technical writers usually feel most comfortable with Markdown editors and documentation platforms that keep everything tidy and consistent. Beyond writing‑specific tools, every writer benefits from a solid productivity setup. Task managers help break large goals into manageable steps. Calendar tools make it easier to plan writing sessions and actually follow through. Focus tools, like Pomodoro timers, can help reduce procrastination, maintain concentration, and reduce the feeling of being overwhelmed. Mind‑mapping apps and digital whiteboards are great for shaping ideas before the real writing begins. And perhaps the most valuable tool of all is a reliable research and knowledge management or second brain application, where you can store research, notes, and references in one central place, connect them, and easily access them later.

I'm not sure it solves the problem, yet, though. Still, the bear dances! Maybe a higher-spec machine and the final 1.0 release of WinBoat will make it happen. o ⚓ XDA ☛ Linux_7.0_is_adding_mainline_kernel_support_for..._Rock Band_4_guitars⠀⇛ Look, okay, I know I've gone on record for betting on 2026 being the year of gaming on Linux, and I still stand by that prediction. But if you asked me to make a guess as to how the Linux kernel will evolve to help gamers move to the open-source platform, "adding support for a plastic guitar controller for the PS4 and PS5" would be way down the list. And yet, the open-source community has delivered. A recent git pull has revealed that someone has been working hard to add Rock Band 4 support to the Linux 7.0 kernel, and the best bit is that the pull has already been merged. o ⚓ Tiny_Core_Linux_17.0_updates_kernel_and_toolchain_while_remaining radically_minimalistic⠀⇛ With version 17.0, Tiny Core Linux updates its technical basis to the latest standard and demonstrates that a modern Linux system does not necessarily have to take up hundreds of megabytes or even gigabytes of storage space. The new edition is based on Linux kernel 6.18.2 and comprehensively updates the entire toolchain, including GCC 15.2.0, glibc 2.42, Binutils 2.45.1, util-linux 2.41.2, and e2fsprogs 1.47.3. Despite this extensive modernization, the distribution remains true to its principle of providing an extremely lean and modular system that focuses on the essentials and loads extensions only when needed. * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ Fabian Sanglard ☛ How_Michael_Abrash_doubled_Quake_framerate⠀⇛ With the 1999 release of the Quake source code, came a readme.txt written by John Carmack. There is a particular sentence in that text that piqued my curiosity. Masm is also required to build the assembly language files. It is possible to change a #define and build with only C code, but the software rendering versions lose almost half its speed. Quake would be twice as fast thanks to its hand-crafted assembly? Let's find out if that is true, how it works, and what are the most important optimizations. o ⚓ Daniël de Kok ☛ Nix_CUDA_on_non-NixOS_systems⠀⇛ Suppose that we have a CUDA application like llama.cpp outside Nix. How does it get its library dependencies such as the required CUDA libraries on Linux? ELF binaries contains dynamic section with information for the dynamic linker. It encodes, among other things, the required dynamic libraries. For instance, we can use patchelf or readelf to get the CUDA libraries that are used: [...] ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1686 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/16/Low_Cost_BeaglePlay_SBC_Gains_Fully_Upstream_PowerVR_Graphics_w.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/16/Low_Cost_BeaglePlay_SBC_Gains_Fully_Upstream_PowerVR_Graphics_w.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Low-Cost BeaglePlay SBC Gains Fully Upstream PowerVR Graphics with Vulkan 1.2⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Feb 16, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇BeaglePlay_top_view⦈_ Quoting: Low-Cost BeaglePlay SBC Gains Fully Upstream PowerVR Graphics with Vulkan 1.2 — According to BeagleBoard.org, the PowerVR DRM kernel driver and Mesa Vulkan driver are both upstream, enabling GPU acceleration on Linux 6.18 LTS paired with Mesa 25.3.

Open-source operating systems that you can play around with and tweak exactly how you want to are a geek's dream, after all. But can a Linux computer go beyond just a fun project to tinker around with, or can it be your daily driver that replaces Windows or macOS for you completely?

Use Linux, BSD. — In the past few years there has been an uptick in the number of distributions which are based on Void. The Void project is an intriguing one. It is a relatively reliable, rolling-release distribution which provides an efficient base with virtually unmatched speed. The Void distribution is lightweight, runs on multiple CPU architectures, runs the rarely-used runit init software, and has its own package manager (XBPS). Void also offers users he choice between running the commonly used glibc library or the musl library. I like the clean design and performance of Void and so I was curious to try out some of the projects based on it. Something I quickly found was that most of the new, Void-based distributions do not have much in the way of infrastructure. Most of them offer short SourceForge or GitHub summary pages, not much in the way of support or community options, and most do not clearly state what the distributions offer beyond what Void itself provides. What I found was, generally speaking, that most Void-based distributions offered a range of desktop editions and, in some cases, alternatives to Void's text-menu system installer, but the new projects do not share much about their goals.

They are, in effect, like outdoor pets, unlike our indoor pets. Some birds let me pat them, not just pet them. Rianne recently wrote to an African organisation about Limpopo. She is becoming more politically active and more like an activist. 4 weeks ago we needed to confront some locals over the feeding of birds. We've not_heard_back_from_them since. They gave up. Always push_back against those whose incentive to push you isn't greater than yours. This is why, for example, after about 4 years (it'll be 4 soon) Putin still cannot_win_in_Ukraine. The eagerness of local Ukrainians to defend themselves from an invader is so much greater than that of troops thrown into the trenches by an imperial dictator without a real plan. █

sense once you know the full story — Terminal commands and FOSS philosophies aside, one of the biggest challenges new Linux folks face is just the sheer number of odd and difficult-to-pronounce names for things. I'll explain a few of them and their interesting origins. Being an open source operating system with a lot of open source software, Linux constantly invites the proliferation of weird naming choices. Apps and tools get forked and cloned all over, and the people in charge of those projects aren't being told what they can and can't call them. It's hard to avoid, but with a little bit of background you can sometimes at least discover the logic of the name.

liked that could edit mobile videos was Canva. However, it could only get me so far. So, to fill the gap, I did something weird: I started testing whether I could filter videos with ffmpeg to my liking in Termux, the Linux terminal program for Android. Then, in a second step, I’d move the videos to Canva, to finish the edit (including adding the text in my desired font/design). And I’ll be damned, it worked: I became curious about pushing this idea further, to social objects, and started working on tools to build quick graphics from Markdown files all on my phone—something you can make happen with HTML and CSS, basically. Cool idea, worked pretty simply: [...] * ⚓ Rui Carmo ☛ CSS_-_Tao_of_Mac⠀⇛ This page lists some CSS resources I find of interest, most notably minimalist layout frameworks. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Create_SSH_Proxy_Tunnel_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Securing your internet connection has never been more critical.

Murena's Got You Covered - FOSS Force — Murena, the company behind the degoogled Android alternative /e/OS, is making it easier for tablet users to enjoy a Google-free experience with the new Murena Volla Tablet that’s now available through its online store. If you don’t know, Paris-based Murena has been making it possible for phone users to run /e/OS — their own version of Android that has Google’s tools completely removed — either on existing supported phones or pre-installed on a variety of phones purchased directly from Murena’s online store. It could also be installed on existing Android tablets, and now the company is marketing a tablet that comes with Google-free /e/OS preinstalled and ready to run out of the box.

Get the Murena Volla Tablet Warp Terminal Murena has been in the business of selling de-Googled Android smartphones loaded with /e/OS since 2022. The French company strips out Google services and offers devices that don't profit from its users' data. On the other side, Volla is a German hardware maker known for building repairable, privacy-focused devices. Founded in 2017 by Dr. Jörg Wurzer, they sell smartphones and a tablet preloaded with Volla OS and Ubuntu Touch. Now these two have partnered up to offer the Murena Volla Tablet, which combines Volla's hardware with Murena's software. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠈⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢹⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡟⠛⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⡛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣸⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠄⢰⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢿⣿⢟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡄⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣴⡄⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⢿⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣬⣽⣥⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠉⠉⠁⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠈⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⢀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3046 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/16/You_can_now_download_a_Fedora_Atomic_OS_for_your_Android_device.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/16/You_can_now_download_a_Fedora_Atomic_OS_for_your_Android_device.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ You can now download a Fedora Atomic OS for your Android device⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Feb 16, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Xiaomi⦈_ Quoting: You can now download a Fedora Atomic OS for your Android device — I've been getting into atomic Linux distros lately, which is a sentence I can only really say on a tech blog and not among my friends.
