just got indefinitely postponed because of spiking hardware prices — The OrangePi Neo was going to be an exciting launch for fans of both portable gaming and open-source software. It's a console that doesn't look too unlike a Steam Deck, but it runs Manjaro Linux with KDE Plasma 6 and flatpak installations. The predicted price point for this console looked very reasonable: 450$ for the 16 GB RAM version, and $550 for the 32GB model, with both of them sporting 512GB of storage space. Unfortunately, due to the RAM and storage crisis, there's a good chance that the OrangePi Neo won't sell for those prices. In fact, right now, the developers aren't sure when it will launch, as they have announced that the project has been put on hold as they work out what to do next.

Notionally, there's already a solution: the Gamescope micro-compositor that lets things run in HDR on your Steam Deck. Alas, as many Gamescope arguments as I fed into my Steam-game launch options, it just wouldn't take. At best, nothing would change. At worst, HDR would attempt to work, but only turn the game in question into a washed-out mess. But those days are behind me. Last weekend, I started to muck about with ScopeBuddy (and its civilised graphical frontend, ScopeBuddy-GUI), a tool—originally made for Bazzite, in fact—that's designed to simplify those long, garbled strings of Gamescope arguments into a simple command. More importantly in my case, it has a setting that will (attempt to) automatically detect your monitor's resolution, VRR-capability, and HDR settings and make games play ball with them, in a manner that's really as simple as slapping "scb - - %command%" into the launch options. * § WINE or Emulation⠀➾ o ⚓ ScummVM ☛ Necronomicon_adventure_comes_to_ScummVM⠀⇛ Ancient evil stirs, the grim times approaching. And it's up to you, our brave investigator, to explore a haunted mansion and unravel the terrifying secrets of the Necronomicon before darkness consumes the world. The ScummVM Team is pleased to announce full support for Necronomicon:_The_Dawning_of_Darkness. This Cryo Interactive adventure from 2001 draws deep from the well of H.P. Lovecraft's works, casting players into creeping madness. Grab your portion of the ScummVM_daily_build, prepare your copy of the game (or get it from Steam, roll up your sleeves, and dive into the unknown depths of this game. * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ NVIDIA_hiring_engineers_to_optimize_Linux_gaming_performance⠀⇛ NVIDIA is hiring engineers to optimize Linux gaming performance, specifically targeting the Proton compatibility layer and Vulkan API.

Memories of family, friends, pets, and those who are no longer with us reside within the massive 2TB hard drive in my computer. Yes, the same one that I accidentally deleted and almost lost years and years of memories from. I've learned that freemium software is astonishingly good in many different forms, but I didn't expect it to be so beneficial when it came to organizing all of those pictures I had, too.

Under that glossy surface, though, it’s built on Arch, which is less “polished museum exhibit” and more “high-powered workshop with sharp tools.” That contrast is the whole pitch, and it’s also the reason the project feels a little radioactive in a fun way. If you’ve ever wished Linux desktops arrived with more intent and less fiddling, pearOS is aiming straight at that gap. But this kind of mash-up also invites a blunt question: what happens when a curated, aesthetic-first experience rides on a rolling-release base? pearOS NiceC0re is explicitly Arch-based and rolling-release, so the “install once, keep updating forever” promise is baked into the identity. That can be liberation, or it can be the moment you learn why so many people treat Arch updates with a little ritual and a backup plan. With pearOS, the stakes feel higher because the illusion of “Mac-like stability” is part of what you’re buying into. * ⚓ XDA ☛ 3_atomic_Linux_distros_I_trust_for_a_stress_free_PC⠀⇛ Linux has a reputation for being flexible to the point of fragility. One update pulls in a new dependency, a driver changes behavior, your desktop theme breaks in a weird way, and suddenly your “quick reboot” turns into an evening of troubleshooting. That’s not every distro, and it’s not every user’s experience, but it’s common enough that plenty of people quietly stick with Windows or macOS simply because they want their computer to behave. Atomic Linux distros flip that script: instead of treating your OS like a pile of individual packages that constantly shift under your feet, they treat it more like a versioned system image, with updates that apply to the system as a whole. If something goes sideways, you can roll back or "rebase" to a known-good state instead of guessing which package change caused the mess. The "atomic" name as a brand comes from the Fedora Atomic stack, but the concept of an "atomic distro" has stemmed beyond Fedora. These 4 distros are the ones I'd trust the most for a stress-free PC. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 695 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/03/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/03/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 03, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇domain-check⦈_ * ⚓ domain-check_-_check_domain_availability_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ domain-check is a CLI tool for checking domain availability using RDAP and WHOIS protocols. domain-check brings fast, accurate domain availability checking directly to your terminal.

That makes them older than Linux cgroups, older than LXC, older than Docker, and older than most people’s understanding of what “containers” even means. Yet they remain one of the most elegant and underappreciated isolation mechanisms available on any operating system. This article is the first in a series called FreeBSD Foundationals - covering core FreeBSD concepts that deserve more than a man page skim. We start with Jails because they’re central to how FreeBSD is deployed in practice: from hosting providers to Netflix’s CDN to small mail servers on rented hardware. If you’ve used Docker or LXC on Linux, some concepts will feel familiar. But Jails are not Linux containers with a different name. The design philosophy, the networking model, and the security boundaries are fundamentally different.

The project aims to deliver a lightweight, modern, and visually appealing desktop experience powered by Go and the Fyne framework. Unlike traditional Linux distributions that ship established desktop environments such as GNOME, KDE Plasma, or Xfce, FyshOS provides a cohesive desktop stack developed largely in Go. The system boots into FyneDesk, an X11-based window manager and desktop environment designed with Material Design principles in mind.

Although there aren't any major changes, this new refresh of the Italian Gentoo-based distro that is the child of Sabayon and Funtoo finally brings the user manual inside each of the available ISOs. When talking about documentation, the inclusion of the MocaccinoOS manual in the ISO is accompanied by documentation for fcitx-based input methods, including Chinese table and phonetic engines. A last minor improvement is the introduction of out-of-the-box RTW89 support, which addresses the WiFi connectivity issue that was reported less than a month ago. MocaccinoOS 26.03 is the first one with Hyprland as a part of the community repository.

A few weeks back we uncovered evidence suggesting that the Galaxy S26 Ultra might be getting Linux terminal support, and today we’re finally starting to get some confirmation about what Samsung’s support here looks like. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣦⡾⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⠎⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⣠⠞⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⢀⠰⢕⢤⠗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⣀⠞⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠚⣡⠖⠁⠀⠀⠀⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⠉⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⣠⠞⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡞⢰⡞⠁⠀⠀⢀⣰⠞⠁⢀⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⢀⠔⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠾⣩⡞⠂⠀⣠⠞⠑⠞⠁⢀⣰⠞⠀⠀⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⢀⠄⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠶⢃⠄⠈⠀⣠⠾⣡⠞⠁⠀⣀⠄⠁⠀⣠⠞⠀⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⡔⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⡀⡴⢁⠔⠁⠀⢀⠈⢫⠾⠁⠀⣠⡞⠁⠀⢠⠘⠁⠀⣠⠞⠀⠀⠰⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⡠⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢾⠦⠀⠀⠀⢀⡴⠊⡴⢀⠰⠃⠀⢀⠴⢉⡴⠀⠀⢠⠞⠀⠀⢠⠔⠁⠀⣀⠞⠁⠀⣠⠞⠁⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡟⠁⡠⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠐⠚⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠄⢉⡵⢋⡠⠋⠀⢀⡄⠁⠔⠉⠀⢀⡶⠁⠀⡠⡌⠁⠀⣠⠞⠁⠀⣠⠞⠁⠀⠀⠀⣤⠌⠁⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡟⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⢇⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡄⢛⡔⢂⡐⠋⠀⢀⡴⢋⡴⠃⠀⠀⠔⠈⠀⢀⡾⠃⠀⠠⠔⠁⠀⣠⡞⠁⠀⠀⠀⣠⠞⠁⠀⣴⠆⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣶⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⡐⠜⣥⠾⠋⠀⢀⡀⠊⣵⠃⢴⠋⠀⠀⡤⠊⡰⠋⠀⢀⠴⠋⠀⠀⠴⠋⠀⠀⡴⠃⠀⢠⠔⠁⠀⠀⠀⣠⠎⠀⠀⣠⠚⠁⠀⠀⠀⡐⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⣈ ⣼⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⡗⣠⡴⠉⠀⠀⢠⠚⡠⠋⠥⠞⠀⠀⡤⠈⠠⠊⠀⠀⠴⠋⠀⢀⡴⠋⠀⠀⠴⠊⠀⢀⡖⠁⠀⢀⠜⢠⠞⠋⠀⣠⠎⠁⠀⠀⠀⣠⠟⠁⠀⡐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙ ⠉⢱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⡞⣣⡾⠊⠀⠀⡀⠛⣠⠎⡡⠎⠀⢀⣰⢋⡥⠏⠀⠀⠠⠊⠁⢀⡰⠋⠀⢀⡴⠋⠀⠀⠤⠊⠀⠀⠔⢁⡄⠁⠀⣀⡜⠋⠀⠀⠀⣠⠖⠁⠀⣠⠞⠁⠀⡀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣇⠀⢆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⡿⣋⠴⠉⠀⠀⣰⠞⢁⠞⢡⠎⠀⠀⣠⠈⠱⠞⠁⢀⡠⠏⠀⠀⠠⠊⠁⢀⠔⠋⠀⢀⡴⠋⠀⠀⡼⠃⡴⠃⠀⢀⠄⠁⠀⢠⡀⣠⠾⠁⠀⣠⠜⠁⠀⣠⠞⠁⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣦⠀⠑⢄⠀⠀⠀⠘⢫⡶⠋⠀⠀⣠⡟⣅⠝⢅⠄⠁⠀⠠⠊⡡⠞⠀⠀⠰⠞⠀⠀⡠⠊⠀⠀⠠⢋⠅⢀⡐⠋⠀⢀⡐⠋⡴⠈⠀⢀⡔⠋⠀⢀⡜⠋⠾⠃⠀⢠⡾⠁⠀⣠⠞⠁⠀⠀⢀⣠⠎⠁⠀⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣷⣄⠈⠐⢄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡾⡋⠲⣀⠛⢅⠀⢀⠞⣠⠘⠀⠀⡰⠞⠁⠀⠐⢞⣥⢂⡠⠊⡀⠊⠠⠎⠁⢀⠐⢋⡰⠊⡾⠂⡴⠀⠀⢀⡤⢉⡴⠋⠀⢀⠶⠋⠀⢠⠾⠁⠀⠀⠀⣠⠆⠁⠀⣠⠖⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠁⢄⠀⠀⠀⠉⠞⣡⡆⣨⠌⣁⠚⣁⠔⢱⠎⣠⠈⣠⠀⠠⠞⠑⠄⠁⢞⠠⠂⡠⠚⠀⠀⣀⠚⣵⢆⡐⠂⡰⠊⠀⠀⡴⢋⠐⠁⠀⢀⡴⠋⠀⢀⠶⠋⠀⠀⠀⢀⠜⠃⠀⣠⠞⠁⠀⣠⠖⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠑⠄⠀⠀⠀⠉⠈⣪⡂⡀⠒⣀⠑⢀⠔⢡⠘⣡⠀⠠⠒⢁⠞⣁⠆⡀⠞⠀⠀⡠⠞⣡⠄⠑⠍⣠⠞⠀⠀⡤⢃⡠⢛⠄⢀⡐⠉⠀⢀⡨⠋⠀⢀⡴⢃⡔⠀⠀⢀⡞⠃⠀⣠⠾⠁⠀⠀⠀⣰ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠐⢄⠀⠀⠀⠉⠾⢃⠪⣁⠐⢀⠖⢀⠜⣉⠞⣡⠄⢰⠞⢡⠞⣡⠆⠠⠆⣠⠎⣱⠞⣡⠆⠁⠀⠠⠂⣠⠋⡀⠚⡴⢋⣄⢀⡐⠋⠀⠀⠰⢋⡌⠋⠀⣀⡴⠉⠀⢀⡾⠋⠀⠀⠀⣀⠚⠁ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠲⢃⡔⢀⠐⢠⡌⢁⡌⣩⡎⣡⠄⠀⠜⢁⠆⣡⠆⣡⠊⣡⢞⣡⠞⢁⠗⡀⢞⡡⠂⣠⠛⡄⠛⣵⠟⠀⢀⡴⢋⡴⠊⠀⢀⡴⠈⠀⢀⡴⠉⠀⠀⠀⢠⡼⠁⠀⢀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠲⢃⠐⢉⠜⢀⠤⢁⡮⣨⡺⣁⠐⢁⠔⠁⠞⣠⠆⡠⠊⣁⠘⣁⠞⣡⠆⡀⠞⡡⠆⣀⠛⠁⢀⣠⠙⣠⠎⠀⠀⡠⠊⠀⢀⡴⠀⠀⢀⡤⢀⡈⠊⠀⢀⡔⠁ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠈⠲⢃⡴⢁⠈⢀⡤⣩⡶⡠⠴⢁⡔⠁⠌⠁⠮⡈⠊⣁⠚⠑⠖⣁⠜⣡⠆⡀⠞⠈⠀⣄⢚⣡⠞⠁⠀⣠⠆⠀⠀⡰⠋⠀⢀⡴⠏⠤⠋⠀⠀⠢⠋⠀⢀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠈⠂⡀⠀⠀⠈⠲⢃⡴⢡⡴⢪⡘⣋⡬⢋⠴⢁⡴⢡⠾⠋⠾⣣⡚⣁⠘⢁⠞⣁⠞⠁⠀⣠⠈⡁⠚⣁⠀⢤⠟⢵⠎⣠⠆⠀⠀⡰⢌⣵⠏⠀⢀⣴⠊⠀⠀⠲⠃ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⢀⡴⢀⡤⠨⡈⣋⡼⢋⠐⢀⡄⢀⡤⠈⡾⣣⡾⣁⠐⠁⠀⢀⠞⡩⡺⣣⠞⣡⠖⢅⠙⣠⠟⠁⠀⠠⡞⡰⠞⠁⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢋⡴⢂⡠⢈⡦⠋⡴⢉⡵⢂⡤⢀⡤⠈⡴⢋⡴⢀⡴⢠⠜⢡⡪⣪⡶⣀⠙⢡⠔⠃⠀⢠⠞⣠⠎⣡⠖⣠⠌⠿⠿⣿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠏ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1721 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/03/KDE_Plasma_6_6_2_Improves_Support_for_High_Resolution_Mice_on_R.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/03/KDE_Plasma_6_6_2_Improves_Support_for_High_Resolution_Mice_on_R.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ KDE Plasma 6.6.2 Improves Support for High- Resolution Mice on Remote Desktops⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Mar 03, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇KDE_Plasma_6.6.2⦈_ Coming a week after KDE Plasma 6.6.1 and two weeks after KDE Plasma 6.6, the KDE Plasma 6.6.2 release is here to improve support for mice with high- resolution scroll wheels in the built-in remote desktop (RDP) server, and change the “Show virtual [network] connections” setting so that it no longer requires a reboot.

It comes in several flavours, depending on how much processing power you need and whether you require wireless connectivity. All models feature a couple of bonus features: analogue inputs and PIO (programmable input/output) state machines that can handle some tasks in the background. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Cynus_Chess_Robot:_A_Chess_Board_With_A_Robotic_Arm⠀⇛ There are many chess robots, most of which require the human player to move the opposing pieces themselves, or have a built- in mechanism that can slide the opposing pieces around to their new location. Ideally, such a chess robot would move the pieces just like how a human would, of course. That’s pretty much the promise behind the Manya Cynus chess robot, which [Matt] over at the Techmoan YouTube channel bought from the Kickstarter campaign. * ⚓ Lean Rada ☛ Japanese_typing_in_QMK_firmware⠀⇛ Implemented a Japanese input method in my keyboard firmware (based on QMK).

Since the original Pico's RAM is fairly constrained, you get a maximum of 208 KB of RAM with this setup—which is 63% more RAM than you got on the original '128K' Macintosh! * ⚓ Chris Aldrich ☛ Replacing_the_Body_Shell_Rubber_Bushings_on_an_Olympia SG1_Typewriter⠀⇛ Over the weekend I made a major push on beginning restoration of the Olympia SG1 standard typewriter I picked up this past month.

While keeping the decade-long support pledge and the custom- themed GNOME desktop, it moves from XFS to Btrfs and replaces the Anaconda installer with Centrio. Version 2603 also sports updated branding and logos, automatic Nvidia driver setup, and more. Red Hat Enterprise Linux has spawned a long list of derivatives over the years. The most popular ones are AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, and NethServer, all three of which are still active. Some of the distros that have ceased production or are completely outdated were quite renowned back in the day, and probably the most popular name in this list is CentOS. Although it has been around for less than five years, AlmaLinux has spawned several derivatives already. Today, the spotlight is on Oreon, a live distro built by people involved in the Linux/FOSS community, which just received a new update that comes with a decade of support.

First off, it offers a beautiful desktop UI (NebiDE) that opts to use the Wayfire compositor, which is based on Wayland. NebiDE is a highly customizable, extendable, and lightweight desktop environment that is modular, which means you can tweak it and even add plugins for more functionality and greater flexibility with appearance. Also: I'm a Linux power user, but NixOS has made me rethink what an operating system can be Another aspect that makes NebiOS unique is that it works seamlessly with NebiCloud (more on the status of this below), which is an alternative cloud storage service.

Why did I decide to continue with the theory? Well, this subject has many concepts that can be somewhat challenging. But I will try to approach these concepts in a way that makes understanding how modular music and trackers are viewed as natural as possible. So, let's continue discussing these concepts, which will be the cornerstone for our work when we get to the module music editors. And let's also look at resources for working with module music and trackers, such as places to download samples and auxiliary programs. o ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ GIMP_Tutorial:_Layer_Masks,_Part_1⠀⇛ I’ve been asked several times to do an article on Layer Masks.

Not only is it easy to mess up some system files, but the mere act of installing updates or apps can sometimes lead to compatibility problems due to how these changes affect system files. In that sense, it can be sort of similar to Windows and how it can get unreliable once you've been using it for a long time and installed a lot of updates. Maintaining Linux to ensure everything works and runs smoothly can be a bit of a chore, but it doesn't have to be that way. Enter Fedora Silverblue with its atomic, immutable approach. This operating system (and others like it) make maintaining Linux way easier and it can save you a lot of headaches in the long run. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Linux's_app_problem_isn't_compatibility_anymore,_it's_Flatpak_and Snap_splitting_the_desktop_in_two⠀⇛ Linux desktop app support is better than it gets credit for, and that progress changes what people notice first. You can do real work without living in a terminal, and most popular tools now have a Linux story that feels intentional. That should be the end of the drama, but it isn’t. The friction moved upstream, into how apps are packaged, discovered, and trusted. Flatpak and Snap both exist to solve problems the classic distro model struggles with, like outdated packages and dependency chaos. The problem is that they solve those issues in parallel, with different assumptions and different power centers. For users, the result is a constant, low-level uncertainty that never appears in a compatibility chart. It shows up when you just want an app, and Linux asks you to pick a side. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2484 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/03/Open_Hardware_Modding_Raspberry_Pi_other_SBCs_and_Linux_Flies_i.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/03/Open_Hardware_Modding_Raspberry_Pi_other_SBCs_and_Linux_Flies_i.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: Raspberry Pi, other SBCs, and "Linux Flies into Space"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 03, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Linux_Flies_into_Space⦈_ * ⚓ Raspberry_Pi_Weekly_Issue_#525_-_Turning_Raspberry_Pis_into_Hey_Hi_(AI) agents_and_mini_retro_TVs⠀⇛ Look at our new magazine issue’s pretty cover!

In sports analytics, that grouping is unavoidable. In R, hierarchical Bayesian models are commonly implemented via brms (Stan), rstanarm, or cmdstanr. This tutorial focuses on partial pooling (a.k.a. shrinkage) and why it’s the default choice for academic, production-grade modeling: it reduces overfitting, improves out-of-sample performance, and produces honest uncertainty quantification. We will use a sports dataset as a concrete example, but the modeling principles generalize to many domains (education, marketing, medicine, A/B testing, and more). o ⚓ Rlang ☛ January_2026_Top_40_New_CRAN_Packages⠀⇛ Two hundred forty-one of the new packages submitted to CRAN in January were still there in mid-February. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ The_things_that_make_me_so_attached_to xterm_as_my_terminal_program⠀⇛ I've said before in various contexts (eg) that I'm very attached to the venerable xterm as my terminal (emulator) program, and I'm not looking forward to the day that I may have to migrate away from it due to Wayland (although I probably can keep running it under XWayland, now that I think about it). But I've never tried to write down a list of the things that make me so attached to it over other alternatives like urxvt, much less more standard ones like gnome-terminal.

Or maybe just a single home server and some storage to break your cloud dependency? While you're deciding which PCIe add-in cards to use, you might have thought about expanding your server or which operating system to run. Proxmox is a firm favorite among many XDA staff, but that's not the only option, and you might have been tempted by Kubernetes's clustering options . * ⚓ XDA ☛ 10_Proxmox_tools_that_can_transform_your_entire_experience⠀⇛ Home labs are synonymous with experimentation tools and self- hosted services, some useful, others quirky (but just as helpful). Although most server operating systems (including the community-favorite Proxmox) are designed to handle production- tier workloads, there are plenty of apps you can deploy on your workstation and client devices to boost their functionality. So, here’s a collection of utilities you’d want to add to your Proxmox home lab. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_customized_Proxmox_so_much_that_updates_became_terrifying⠀⇛ There’s a special kind of confidence you get after your first few months with Proxmox. The web UI starts to feel more familiar, your storage is humming along just fine, your VMs all boot reliably, and that hard part is mostly over. Then you open the Updates panel and realize you’ve built a tiny tower of customizations that’s balanced on top of the package manager. Suddenly, that routine update doesn’t feel like maintenance, but a risk that can topple everything over like a bad move in Jenga. If you’ve ever hesitated before clicking “Upgrade,” you’re not alone. Proxmox is stable when you keep it close to stock, but the whole reason most of us run it is for the option to make modifications. We make it faster, prettier, quieter, more capable, and more “ours.” The problem is that the exact tweaks that make a home lab feel polished can often be the same ones that turn update day into an overwhelming management task. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Proxmox_turned_my_old_PC_into_a_home_lab_that_runs_10_VMs simultaneously⠀⇛ I used to think of my old PC as “still useful,” which is a polite way of saying it was headed toward the tech shelf of retirement. It handled everyday stuff fine, but it didn’t feel like it had a second act. Then I finally listened to our resident Proxmox guru, Ayush Pande, and installed Proxmox. Now, my tiny Geekom Air12 Lite mini PC is something closer to shared infrastructure than a personal computer. Once it clicked, I stopped seeing limits and started seeing possibilities. The biggest difference is how quickly I can spin up isolated environments to test ideas. I run several Linux VMs and LXCs for different scenarios, and I keep a Windows 11 VM around for the tasks that still expect it. Even my recent pearOS install started life inside Proxmox, where curiosity is safer and cleanup is easier. When a lab makes experimentation cheap, you experiment more. * ⚓ XDA ☛ You_need_this_free_self-hosted_tool_if_you're_using_Proxmox⠀⇛ Proxmox has been my go-to virtualization platform for the last couple of years, and the massive collection of companion tools is one of the many reasons why I adore it. For the record, I’m not just talking about the Backup Server and Datacenter Manager utilities released by the talented folks at Proxmox. Unlike most of its rivals, PVE has a thriving community of tinkerers, so there are plenty of cool scripts that can take my home lab’s utility to the next level. Capable of spinning up virtual machines and containers with a single command, the Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts repository is the most popular utility of its kind. Don’t get me wrong: I wouldn’t recommend running its commands on your home server blindly. But if you’re willing to read the scripts before using the repo to bring your next virtual guest into existence, it’s a handy repository to bookmark. The best part? There’s a self- hosted tool that adds extra quality-of-life features when running scripts from the Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts repository. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2823 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/03/Red_Hat_Infatuation_With_Slop_Paid_for_Puff_Pieces_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/03/Red_Hat_Infatuation_With_Slop_Paid_for_Puff_Pieces_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat: Infatuation With Slop, Paid-for Puff Pieces, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 03, 2026 * o ⚓ RHEL_vs_Ubuntu_Server:_Best_Enterprise_GNU/Linux_in_2026⠀⇛ RHEL vs Ubuntu Server: The Real Question Most IT Leaders Face RHEL vs Ubuntu Server — it's one of the most debated choices in enterprise GNU/Linux today.

With the release of amazon.aws 11.0.0, the Red_Hat Ansible_Certified_Content_Collection_for_AWS shifts its focus from simply adding features to making cloud automation easier to operate, easier to maintain, and resilient enough for long-term enterprise needs. This release emphasizes stability, consistency and supportability, helping teams manage proprietary trap AWS environments with greater confidence. o ⚓ Strategic_momentum:_The_new_era_of_Red_Hat_and_HPE_Juniper network_automation⠀⇛ To address this challenge, Red Hat and Juniper by HPE Juniper Networking have deepened our partnership to provide a more streamlined, proven, and flexible automation experience. This collaboration centers on delivering more strategic momentum and more resilient operations for our joint customers. o ⚓ Digital_sovereignty_in_the_banking_industry [Ed: "The 4 freedoms of open source" distorts what Free software means]⠀⇛ The 4 freedoms of open source o ⚓ AI_trust_through_open_collaboration:_A_new_chapter_for responsible_innovation [Ed: IBM has turned Red Hat into a "meme company" peddling slop]⠀⇛ Recently, the Amazon AGI Labs team published a paper, Integrating Safety Testing into GenAI Development: Lessons from Amazon Nova and Chatterbox. This paper documents a collaboration between Amazon Nova's Responsible AI team and Chatterbox Labs (now part of Red Hat), describing how specialized external testing capabilities helped strengthen specific aspects of Nova's safety evaluation during development, particularly for adversarial prompt scenarios.  o ⚓ I_taught_AI,_but_AI_didn’t_write_this:_A_workshop_reflection [Ed: IBM Red Hat is a slop-promoting firm]⠀⇛ As AI is an ongoing priority in our company strategy, I had the opportunity to facilitate an AI workshop for my broader team. This was the same team that created MINE, a home-grown internal marketing gen AI tool that accesses internal marketing documents and analytical data. Because the team has extensive experience with AI, the pressure was on me to match the team’s “main character energy.” Despite my understandable self-doubt, it was an easy “yes” for me initially, but then the worries began. How would I lead this group of my peers? How would I stay organized—not just for myself, but for others? Most importantly, how would I incorporate AI into my preparation for this workshop? I was a novice facilitator, never having led any efforts like this before. But since I’m a bit of a dreamer, I wanted it to be successful, fun, and insightful.  o ⚓ Adam_Young:_LImiting_What_an_Agent_can_do⠀⇛ I do not work with Hey Hi (AI) tools. This is not advice from experience of working with AI. It is advice from working with access controls in general. Any agent has responsibility and authority. Responsibility is what it is required to produce. Authority is the set of resources that you provide to that agent. This does not change if the agent is human or automatation, and Hey Hi (AI) agents fall in to that later category. o ⚓ Red_Hat_Extends_Cloud-Native_Reach_Across_Multiple_Telecom Providers [Ed: Red Hat sponsored site writing about Red Hat]⠀⇛ At MWC 2026, Red Bait announced partnerships with major telecommunications companies, including Telefónica and Vodafone, to adopt its platforms for cloud-native application development. This initiative aims to unify IT infrastructure and enhance digital transformation efforts. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2961 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/03/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/03/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 03, 2026 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Monday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by Debian (lxd, orthanc, and thunderbird), Fedora (cef, chromium, gimp, nextcloud, pgadmin4, python-django4.2, python-django5, python3-docs, python3.12, python3.13, and python3.9), Oracle (container-tools:rhel8 and mingw-fontconfig), Slackware (gvfs, mozilla, and telnet), SUSE (avahi, cockpit-356, cockpit-podman, cockpit-podman-120, containerized-data-importer, digger-cli, docker, evolution- data-server, expat, firefox, freerdp2, gimp, glib2, glibc, go1, google-guest-agent, google-osconfig-agent, gosec, gpg2, heroic- games-launcher, ImageMagick, kernel, kernel-firmware, kubevirt, libIex-3_4-33, libjxl-devel, libpng16, libsodium, libsoup, libsoup2, libssh, libudisks2-0, libwireshark19, protobuf, python-pyasn1, python-urllib3, python311, python311-Flask, rust-keylime, thunderbird, ucode-intel, and valkey), and Ubuntu (git). * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Google_addresses_actively_exploited_Qualcomm_zero- day_in_fresh_batch_of_129_Android_vulnerabilities⠀⇛ The company’s latest security update contains the highest number of Android vulnerabilities patched in a single month since April 2018. * ⚓ Pen Test Partners ☛ Breaking_Out_of_Citrix_and_other_Restricted_Desktop Environments⠀⇛ Many organisations are turning to virtualisation of apps and desktops.

This does however raise the question of exactly how compatible a SNES controller is when connected to the SPI master peripheral of any random MCU. Recently [James Sharman] set out to answer this question decisively. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ NASA_Uses_Mars_Global_Localization_As_GNSS_Replacement_For The_Perseverance_Rover⠀⇛ Because the off-the-shelf processor in the rover’s Helicopter Base Station (HBS) is much faster than the custom, radiation- hardened processors that control the rover, the decision was made to try the algorithm on the HBS, especially since Ingenuity was left behind after it fatally damaged its propeller during a rough landing. This left the HBS unused and free to be repurposed. * ⚓ Kevin McDonald ☛ Building_a_Live_BGP_Map⠀⇛ Right now, thousands of routers are arguing about how to reach each other. That’s expected.

One of my favorite formats for Linux software is AppImages, and these are the ones I always keep on-hand. AppImages are single executable files that contain everything an app needs to run. That means you don't need to worry about dependencies or software bases in order to run them. So long as your desktop is running libraries used on just about any Linux system, you can probably run an AppImage.

This package contains tools to produce documentation in various formats, including HTML and PDF, from source files in the Texinfo format. Texinfo is a text-based format with commands for marking text, document structuring, and indexing. https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/texinfo/texinfo-7.3.tar.xz https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/texinfo/texinfo-7.3.tar.gz If automatic redirection fails, the list of mirrors is at: https://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html Failing that, you can use the main server: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-7.3.tar.xz https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-7.3.tar.gz In this release, there are several new commands in the Texinfo language, including commands to streamline the creation of title and copyright pages. With conversion to PDF using the texinfo.tex file, non-ASCII characters from section titles can now occur in the PDF outline. The PDF outline also now contains entries for initial letters in any indices in the document. texi2any conversion to HTML now is done mostly in C, rather than Perl (if XS modules are enabled), so is much faster. In the HTML output, the "transliteration" feature where non- ASCII characters in link targets are replaced is now off by default. This gives better results for languages where this feature did not work well, like Japanese. texi2any looks in htmlxref.d directories for information on links to external manuals, in addition to files called htmlxref.cnf, making it easier to combine information on manuals from different sources. Syntax highlighting of code samples in HTML output with the 'HIGHLIGHT_SYNTAX' variable is no longer marked as experimental, and works slightly differently. Error and warning messages again include any directory components of input file names. There have been improvements in the warning messages given about the structure of menus in a document. For the Info output, the new experimental variable 'INFO_MATH_IMAGES' causes texi2any to create images for any uses of the @math or @displaymath commands. The Info format has been extended to support such images. The Info program supports a "hook" system which can be used to give the user information on obtaining uninstalled manuals. There has been a change to how command-line arguments to Info are interpreted, which aids in finding documentation of command-line options. Special thanks to Patrice Dumas for his work on the texi2any program. We would like to thank all who tested the package and who reported problems, contributed fixes, or contributed translations. Please email any comments to . The Texinfo web page: https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/ Support free software * https://www.fsf.org/ * https:// www.gnu.org/ Here is the full news: * Language . new commands for title page creation: @documentinfo, @publication, and @maketitle. you can use these instead of explicit formatting inside @titlepage. . you can use heading commands such as @heading after @node. nodes defined this way are not part of the chapter structure of the document (unlike if @section etc. were used). . new command @xrefname can follow @node in place of a heading command. this is for when you do not want any heading at all to be displayed. . new command @namedanchor for defining text to be used for a cross- reference to an anchor (with @xrefautomaticsectiontitle on) . new command @thispart to print part name in headings or footings . deprecate @clickstyle . if there is no @documentlanguage, the language is unspecified, rather than en_US. (texi2any will still use English strings by default, but will not put en_US in the output, depending on output format.) * texi2any . texi2any uses the Perl extensions in C for converters when possible, which results in a large speed-up for HTML output. set the `TEXINFO_XS_CONVERT' environment variable to 0 for pure Perl. . optional texi2any program implementation in C embedding Perl. use --enable-using-c-texi2any to prefer the C implementation. . report leading directory components of input file names in messages (this reverses 6.8 release change, 2021). . when CHECK_NORMAL_MENU_STRUCTURE is on, give the line number of the problem menu entry . DUMP_TREE should now be a file name, or - to output to standard error . remove USE_REL_REV variable; former effect is now always on . (API only) rename LINKS_BUTTONS customization variable to LINKS_DIRECTIONS . (API only) rename space direction ' ' to 'Space' . HTML output: . the HIGHLIGHT_SYNTAX variable can be used for syntax highlighting of code samples. this feature was present in earlier releases but is no longer marked as experimental. . do not wrap the contents of
