they failed) — Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: When Linux users get into arguments about init systems, the conversation usually circles back to systemd. systemd came out of a time when the Linux ecosystem was experimenting a lot, as distros searched for a better replacement for the aging SysV init system that had powered most Unix-like systems since the 1980s. SysV init worked, but it had clear limitations (don't hate me for this) because of its sequential order and primitive dependency management, because of which many projects attempted to modernize the boot process and service management model. Some focused on speed, others emphasized correctness, minimalism, or better dependency handling. A few of these projects gained some real traction, but none of them became the default across the entire Linux ecosystem. Ultimately, systemd emerged as the dominant solution, but along the way, several serious contenders came close. Here are 4 Linux init systems that nearly replaced systemd, and why they eventually lost momentum.

It's not just that Windows 11 is a broken mess and Microsoft has handled its subsequent updates poorly, but there have also been a series of unpopular changes — like AI taking over major aspects of the OS – and reduced user controls, like forcing online- only use versus local accounts. These changes have caused a lot of people to jump ship, with over half a million Windows users swapping to Linux. Linux has always been a solid alternative and, because there are many distros – Linux versions or distributions – you have complete freedom to find an operating system that best matches your needs. Some great examples are Debian, Zorin OS, Linux Mint, Ubuntu, elementaryOS, and Pop!_OS, with a few additional options for more advanced users like Fedora or Debian. The operating system and its numerous variants have been supported for years, decades in many cases, and they can do so much that Linux is capable of much more than Windows 11 in many ways. In fact, you may be surprised to know some of those things that Linux can do, Windows can't at all.

Interesting developments are happening in Linux filesystem land, with a new version of the bcachefs filesystem – and a Linux distro offering support for Apple's APFS disk format. A new version of the next-generation copy-on-write snapshotting GPL filesystem for Linux is out: bcachefs 1.37.0 appeared just yesterday as we write. This release includes support for the forthcoming Linux kernel 7.0. It is expected next month – the latest release candidate, 7.0-rc4, appeared the same day as the new bcachefs release. As we reported last year, bcachefs is now being developed outside of the Linux kernel again, but it can be loaded as a DKMS module.

I was looking over the codebase and wondered if I could make the code a bit more efficient and easier to understand. I had ideas for new abstractions – things I could do to reduce the amount of code needed. * § Web⠀➾ o ⚓ KemoNine ☛ Self_Hosted_Search⠀⇛ This blog post is the result of two humans bringing up self-hosted search within days of each other. I was curious and ended up dancing with the Red Queen. This post will discuss two options I find useful for self-hosted search and my thoughts regarding both. However, it must be noted: this is a wholly different approach to search than going to some big name (Google / Bing / Duck Duck Go / Others) search engine and casting about the internet. Self-hosted search is going to provide a very different view upon the internet. This is A Good Thing. o ⚓ James G ☛ Ideas_for_managing_post_volume_in_web_readers⠀⇛ As I subscribe to more web feeds, I am starting to think about whether there are features that a “calm” web reader should have that are designed specifically for managing the number of posts in one’s reader. I recently introduced Artemis roll-up to “roll up” a week’s posts from an author into a single list that is added to a user’s feed once per week. This was designed to help reduce the risk of feeling overwhelmed if you subscribe to authors that post several times per day. Since then, I have had a few more ideas related to managing post volume in web readers. I have not yet added many of the ideas I have recently to Artemis, but I wanted to document my ideas so that I can: (i) share them with you, and; (ii) think through them a bit more. My ideas are below. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 574 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/18/Debian_based_Br_OS_13_4_now_available.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/18/Debian_based_Br_OS_13_4_now_available.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Debian-based Br OS 13.4 now available⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 18, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Br_OS_13.4_Linux_desktop_AI-created⦈_ Quoting: Debian-based Br OS 13.4 now available — Once built upon Ubuntu, Brazil-based Br OS is now using Debian as its foundation, and the latest update is less than a day old.

Each of those referenced files configures a different aspect of Hyprland, and all live in ~/.config/hypr/. If you're not used to customizing without a GUI, this could very quickly get confusing. But the siren song of Hyprland is powerful, and I long to answer it. So... I turned to a distribution that aims to make customizing Hyprland a bit easier. That Arch-based Linux distribution is ML4W, which stands for My Linux For Work. With ML4W, there's a GUI specifically designed to change the Hyprland settings without having to open a text-based configuration file. With this app, you can tweak a ton of features. Even better, the developer has gone to great lengths to describe what each option does. o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ CubicleNate ☛ Kontainer_|_Distrobox_Container_Manager_Built for_KDE_Plasma⠀⇛ Kontainer is a KDE-native GUI for managing Distrobox containers, enhancing user experience by simplifying container management. It integrates well with the desktop environment and facilitates the installation and operation of applications from different GNU/Linux distributions. While similar to BoxBuddy, Kontainer offers a more integrated feel, though lacks a feature for directly running applications. o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ GNOME’s_new_app_is_the_beautiful_media_player Linux_deserved⠀⇛ For years, watching a video on Linux often meant choosing between a powerhouse media player with endless knobs or a dated default app that hadn’t seen a modern UI refresh in a while. Somewhere between those two extremes, GNOME quietly introduced something new. It’s called Showtime, or simply Video Player, and if your first reaction is “that looks… suspiciously simple,” you’re not wrong. But under that clean surface is a very intentional design philosophy. Showtime isn’t trying to replace every media player on Linux. It’s trying to solve one very specific problem: playing video without turning it into a technical project. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 715 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/18/EndeavorOS_Titan_stands_out_among_Arch_based_Linux_distros_here.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/18/EndeavorOS_Titan_stands_out_among_Arch_based_Linux_distros_here.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ EndeavorOS Titan stands out among Arch- based Linux distros - here's why⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 18, 2026 Quoting: EndeavorOS Titan stands out among Arch-based Linux distros - here's why | ZDNET — I've been following EndeavorOS for a while now.

You shouldn't need to know what a terminal is to keep your device running. "Immutable" means the core operating system is read-only and can't be modified while it's running. System updates are applied as complete, verified images rather than individual packages. Either the new image works, or the system falls back to the previous one automatically. No partially-applied state. No debugging audio when you need to make a phone call and no fussing with a broken web browser when you just want to doomscroll cat photos. It also means developers can reproduce the exact state of a user's device, making it much easier to track down and fix issues. Reliability and ease of use take priority over flexibility. Some choices that make it robust also mean it has higher hardware requirements and won't run on every device that can boot postmarketOS. Not every device that can boot postmarketOS will be supported. The package base for Duranium is shared with current versions of postmarketOS, and improvements flow into both. Think of it as a different deployment model on top, not a fork. Read_on How-To Geek: * ⚓ Linux_phones_could_get_even_better_with_postmarketOS_‘Duranium’⠀⇛ Even though postmarketOS is an impressive effort to bring the open-source Linux experience to smartphones, it does have many shortcomings at the moment. Now, the project is hoping to fix some of them with a new immutable variant, called Duranium. Duranium was announced today as a new immutable variant of postmarketOS, with most of the same benefits as other immutable Linux distributions. The blog post explained, “System updates are applied as complete, verified images rather than individual packages. Either the new image works, or the system falls back to the previous one automatically. No partially-applied state. No debugging audio when you need to make a phone call and no fussing with a broken web browser when you just want to doomscroll cat photos.” The team is making it clear that Duranium is a “different deployment model,” and not a fork or an additional distribution. Not every device that can boot postmarketOS will supper Duranium, mostly due to the requirement for UEFI or U- Boot. It also uses more storage than regular postmarketOS, since there are two 5GB system partitions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⡀⠰⢼⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⢖⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⢠⣦⣍⣿⣾⣻⣟⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢻⠶⠫⠙⠉⠩⣚⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠻⢫⡻⡜⢿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠄⢀⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠁⠁⠀⠈⠙⠛⠍⠹⣻⢿⣻⣧⣤⣶⣤⡀⠀⢠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣀⠀⠀⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠲⠸⠁⠶⠿⠿⠿⠏⣰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⠛⠋⠀⠀⢨⡀⠀⠀⠀⠄⢠⡄⠀⠀⢀⡀⣴⣿⣭⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣥⣤⣤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⡹⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡙⢷⠚⠋⢀⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠿⠧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣾⣿⣿⣷⣾⣦⡤⠤⣤⠀⠀⠀⣾⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⢲⣂⣐⣂⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣶⣷⣶⣤⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠃⠌⠁⠀⠀⠀⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠶⣾⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⠿⠶⠆⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣯⣤⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣢⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣭⣽⣿ ⣽⣿⣄⣥⣂⣤⠬⠍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠩⣭⣭⣭⣭⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢿⣏⣷⣾⣏⣄⣀⣠⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣶⣶⣆⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣀⣄⣦⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣛⣭⣟⣒⣊⣩⡭⠭⠭⠁⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣔⣤⡀⢀⣠⠴⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⠗⣖⠁⡋⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⢀⡀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⢿⡗⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣥⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⣶⣶⣿⡖⣻⣸⣮⣬⣤⣥⣴⣦⠤⠀⢘⠃⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣶⣆⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⣶⣤⢤⣲⠆⢀⣄⣲⣽⣶⣿⣿⣦⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣽⣷⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⢟⠛⠛⠛⡟⢛⣛⣛⣝⣻⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣶ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⢟⣛⢁⣈⣩⣭⣭⣥⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣾⣝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⡛⠛⠋⢉⢉⡉⠛⠯⠭⢭⣷⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⢋⣉⣉⣭⣽⣥⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⡿⠃⠀⣠⣿⡟⠁⣠⣿⣶⣶⣤⣬⣭⣙⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣿⣛⣛⣙⣀⣉⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠔⣿⡏⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⡿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣭⣭⣿⣟⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⣠⣦⣾⣿⣿⣿⢯⣾⣿⣿⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡟⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣖⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠣⢄⡊⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⢀⡈⠉⠛⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣧⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠛⠫⠽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢡⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2000 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/18/Is_Manjaro_Done_Stick_a_Fork_in_It.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/18/Is_Manjaro_Done_Stick_a_Fork_in_It.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Is Manjaro Done?

Stick a Fork in It - FOSS Force — Everybody is not happy in the land of Manjaro, the popular Arch-based Linux distribution that comes out of Germany. From the looks of it, nobody is happy. Manjaro is one of those distros that has a business side as well as a community side. As usually happens in these kinds of arrangements, the business side owns everything valuable — including trademarks and the like — even though the Manjaro community has been around longer than Manjaro GmbH & Co. KG, the official business name, and actually gave birth to the distro. The long and short of it is that the community is rather perturbed at how the business side has been running things. What’s the gripe? The word “incompetence” seems to be in play. As does “control,” if you’re willing to suspend disbelief long enough to imagine that a business entity could possibly have control issues.

It’s been quite the rollercoaster, and the announcement hit various news outlets, so I guess now is as good a time as any to talk a bit about what Moonforge is, its goal, and its constraints. Of course, as soon as somebody announces a new Linux-based OS, folks immediately think it’s a new general purpose Linux distribution, as that’s the square shaped hole where everything OS-related ends up. So, first things first, let’s get a couple of things out of the way about Moonforge...

Systemd 260 delivers one of the changes that the developers have been promising for at least a few years – we reported that init script support was going back in 2023.

I am also obsessed by having my code compile as quickly as possible. Fast compilation times are extremely valuable to keep iteration times low, productivity and motivation high, and to quickly see the impact of your changes. 1 With time and experience, I’ve realized that C++ can be an extremely fast-to-compile language. Language features like templates are not the issue – the Standard Library is. * ⚓ Ian Erik Varatalu ☛ yes,_all_longest_regex_matches_in_linear_time_is possible⠀⇛ in an earlier post i talked about how regex match semantics is a surprisingly overlooked topic. today i want to talk about a related gap that's even more fundamental, and one i've spent a long time thinking about: finding all matches is quadratic, even in "linear time" engines. for such a well-studied field, this is a strange thing to have gone unaddressed for so long. * ⚓ Alberto_Ruiz:_Booting_with_Rust:_Chapter_3⠀⇛ In Chapter_1 I gave the context for this project and in Chapter 2 I showed the bare minimum: an ELF that Open Firmware loads, a firmware service call, and an infinite loop.

Download the FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64- RPI.img.xz image from here and transfer it to a micro SD card for the Pi. If you’re already au fait with putting images onto physical media, I’ll not say another word. If you’re new to it though, the ‘dd‘ command on any Unix-a-like operating system is your friend, or a GUI tool like Balena Etcher will also suffice. * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Webmin_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Managing a GNU/Linux server through command-line interfaces can be challenging, especially when handling multiple configuration files and services simultaneously. Webmin offers a powerful solution by providing a web-based control panel that simplifies server administration tasks. * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Suricata_on_Manjaro⠀⇛ Network security has become a critical concern for system administrators, security professionals, and tech enthusiasts managing Linux-based infrastructures.

The community that runs it will turn 22. It all started in Tennessee and has grown fast along with GNU/ Linux, which is now very mainstream. In Firefox in PCLinuxOS (when it was mainstream) Tux Machines was in the toolbars (thanks, texstar). Today it'll be around 20 degrees and sunny. I plan to write a lot. Sunrise happens before 7AM and the week has started well. The site attracts many new visitors and some people who run_Software_Freedom_initiatives. Having just had a_good_and_long_conversation_with_my_mother, I'm even more invigorated. When the year began we said we'd publish a lot more original articles this year. So far we've published originals every day and we can sustain if not increase that pace. We'll also have some long and exclusive series in the future. █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇A_Toast_to_Tux_Machines⦈_ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢐⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠋⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠶⠀⠠⢀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Trident_emblem_on_bridge_crossing_the_neva_river⦈_ Our team at Tux Machines abhors slop, will never call it "AI", and very much respects Liam Dawe for being outspoken about slop, which does considerable harm to honest, legitimate, hard-working publishers (like Liam). Slop is cheating. That's what it is. Call it what it really is. Worse yet, slop spreads falsehoods. If people put my name in Google, then people will be directed to a bunch of slop, containing passages like these: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Websites:_He_manages_Schestowitz.com_and_is_the_founder_of the_blogs_Techrights_and_Tuxmachines,_which_focus_on_free_open-source_software and_critiques_of_large_tech_corporations_like_Microsoft.⦈_ Oh, wow. I didn't know I was the "founder" of Tuxmachines. Heck, not even remotely true. There are other errors above. Please, do not use or rely on slop.

By promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing, it supports innovation and stronger digital solutions for global challenges." The leading page of Open Source Portal makes it clear that the goal is to "coordinate and scale open source efforts across the United Nations system." The goals of the portal are threefold: Support collaboration between all agencies, share open source tools to reduce duplication, and align with open standards and best practices. You can also view the repository for all groups currently associated with the Open Source Portal. Currently, there is only one project lined up for the portal, which is eTIR National Application (eTIR NA), an open source solution aimed at connecting national customs authorities with the eTIR international system faster and at no cost. You can also propose a new project by sending an email to opensource@un.org.
