"batteries-included" setup, including popular media codecs. If you don't want Linux Mint, there are plenty of other distros geared toward people new to Linux.

It's a set of changes I always make to ensure the system feels comfortable, familiar, and efficient for me. Before digging in, let me be clear: this isn't a "You Must Do This" list. While these settings work perfectly for my workflow, your preferences may vary. Maybe you'll get some inspiration, or maybe you'll disagree entirely—and that's totally fine! Linux, especially Ubuntu, is all about making it your own.

Do you picture yourself accidentally breaking your entire system with a single misplaced character? If so, you're not alone—but you're also buying into some seriously outdated myths. I've been using Linux for nearly a decade, and during this time, I've encountered countless misconceptions about the terminal. Some come from outdated information, others from Hollywood's dramatic hacking scenes, and many from well-meaning but misinformed individuals. So, let me walk you through some of the biggest terminal myths and debunk them so you won't be afraid of using one of the most powerful tools in computing.

Windows to Linux, I've developed a fondness for the terminal. I was once terrified of it (and honestly, I still probably should be), but now I treat it more like a handy tool I can bring up at a moment's notice. Now my problem is less about getting myself to use the terminal and more about finding the result of that one command I fired five minutes ago, and I've already forgotten it. * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ This_distraction-free_writing_app_won’t_let_you backspace,_and_I_love_it⠀⇛ Let me tell you about the writing trick that stole my backspace key. There are days when writing flows like melted butter. Words line up politely, sentences behave themselves, and the cursor marches forward across the screen like a tiny, well-trained conductor who knows exactly where to go. And then there are those other days. You write three words and delete two. Rewrite them and delete them again. Open a browser tab to “quickly check something.” Suddenly, you’re reading a Reddit thread about mechanical chewing gum, and the paragraph you started is still sitting there half-formed like a disappointed houseplant. The problem usually isn’t ideas. The problem is your brain, and more specifically, the part of your brain that interrupts the writing process every six seconds to say things like: bad sentence, delete! This is exactly why I started experimenting with Ghostwriter, a minimalist Markdown editor from KDE that takes distraction-free writing very seriously. So seriously, in fact, that it includes a mode where the backspace key stops working. At first, that sounded completely ridiculous, then I tried it. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 518 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/Canonical_Ubuntu_Local_Privilege_Escalation_LPE_CVEs_and_Boosti.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/Canonical_Ubuntu_Local_Privilege_Escalation_LPE_CVEs_and_Boosti.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Canonical/Ubuntu: Local Privilege Escalation (LPE), CVEs, and Boosting of Rust⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 24, 2026 * ⚓ Qualys ☛ snap-confine_+_systemd-tmpfiles_=_root_(CVE-2026-3888)⠀⇛ We discovered an unusual Local Privilege Escalation (LPE), from any unprivileged user to full root, in the default installation of Ubuntu Desktop >= 24.04.

This distro remains as flexible as before, with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, no less than five init systems, several window managers, and a long list of included software in the Full edition. In this version, the default init is runit, and the others available are sysVinit, dinit, s6-rc and s6-66. The default window manager is IceWM, but those who want something else can go with Fluxbox, JWM, or the HerbstluftWM tiling window manager. Read_on The Register: * ⚓ Systemd-free_antiX_26:_Debian_13,_in_bonsai_form⠀⇛ AntiX Linux is a heavily cut-down version of Debian 13, with a choice of init systems and ultralightweight GUIs. This means it's able to run usefully on older and lower-end PCs – and, of course, to run faster on modern ones. AntiX 26 "Stephen Kapos" is the newly updated version of antiX, based on last year's Debian 13 "Trixie" release. There are a lot of Debian-based meta-distributions to choose from, but antiX is more unlike its upstream than almost any other Debian- based distro. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠠⠠⠆⠀⠀⠆⠔⠖⠂⠀⠂⠘⠀⠂⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣄⠀⣛⠈⢿⣷⣠⠞⠁⠀⠛⠛⢻⡟⣸⣟⣉⣉⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢐⡒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠚⢻⣷⢠⣿⠚⠛⠿⠈⣿⠋⢸⡛⠀⣨⠟⠁⠄⠀⡠⢔⠊⠉⠁⠋⠉⠉⠈⠁⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠠⣨⠀⠀⠀⢰⣏⣉⣸⣾⢸⣿⠀⠰⠿⠀⠿⠦⠸⢇⠜⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠲⠄⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢀⢀⡀⢀⠀⡀⢀⡄⢤⣠⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠑⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⣿⢸⠙⣼⠐⣇⣸⠇⡼⠳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡿⢟⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠘⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⢿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⠤⠬⣴⣿⣧⣶⣖⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣹⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⠃⠠⠻⠛⠋⠁⢁⠤⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠈⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣿⣿⣿⠄⠁⠀⠠⠀⠀⣤⣿⠏⢹⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣦⣠⣤⡤⠶⢾⣋⣡⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣢⠀⠠⢄⣀⡀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣪⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢿⠿⠛⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⢀⠀⠠⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣔⠆⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⢀⢀⠀⠀⠄⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠤⠀⠀⠐⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣰⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠀⠸⠿⠷⠘⠛⠉⠿⠟⠃⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⢁⡀⢀⣤⠤⠤⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠠⠤⠄⠆⠐⠂⠀⠊⠋⠉⠉⠉⠈⠁⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⡀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 650 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/DietPi_Advice_and_a_Decade_With_Raspberry_Pi.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/DietPi_Advice_and_a_Decade_With_Raspberry_Pi.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ DietPi Advice and a Decade With Raspberry Pi⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Raspberry_Pi⦈_ * ⚓ XDA ☛ DietPi_turns_a_Raspberry_Pi_into_a_fully_functional_server_with just_one_script⠀⇛ DietPi earned a special spot in my SBC journey a while back. It's wildly different from a traditional SBC distro and tries to take complexity out of the equation. I always praise its Whiptail menus, pre-configured approach, and a horde of useful CLI tools for hours, but there's a slightly underrated feature that deserves attention. DietPi lets you pre-configure OS settings so you don't need to deal with system settings and app installs. It also has a niche feature to permit loading the scripts on first boot or using them later on that can specify what the OS should do. My intention with DietPi was to build a functional home server packed with all the essential tools with just one script. Rather than running individual commands after setting up the OS or using DietPi software, I can get everything up and running in just one go. Here's how you can automate your DietPi install. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I’ve_used_a_Raspberry_Pi_for_10_years,_and_this_easy project_started_it_all⠀⇛ Getting started with a Raspberry PI can feel daunting, especially with so many peripherals and projects out there. This was the project that got me started, and it is still a great beginner project today. § I turned a Raspberry Pi 3 into an AI-powered security camera My very first Raspberry Pi project used nothing more than a Raspberry Pi, a basic camera module, a very sluggish SD card, a USB power supply, and a few pieces of a cardboard box taped together for a case. At that time, there weren't nearly as many "out of the box" AI image recognition systems as exist today. Instead, you had to manually use OpenCV to process an image (or video feed), convert it to grayscale, and then use haar cascades to try and identify a human. ⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣣⡄⠀⠀⠀⠇⠨⣟⠀⣿⢀⢿⡟⢸⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⡆⠀⠀⠀⠇⠠⣏⠜⣼⠁⠿⡟⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡿⢛⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠄⠀⠀⠏⠀⢟⠀⢸⠁⢼⣿⢃⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢟⣩⣶⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢁⣈⣿⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠏⠀⠛⡀⢰⡇⢸⣿⡏⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⣩⣴⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠠⠿⣿⣋⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡃⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⠀⠸⣀⠀⡞⠀⣿⡿⢩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⡯⠟⢋⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⠿⠉⢄⠳⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣟⡁⢈⠻⠟⠁⣰⢟⣋⣼⣧⣅⠀⠀⠀⠸⠁⠸⢃⠄⠘⠁⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠑⢊⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⠿⡋⢀⠰⠘⠀⠀⠠⢀⣡⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣯⠀⠀⣎⣽⡚⢿⣿⣟⠿⢳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠏⠀⠇⠀⠼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⣠⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⢁⠠⠌⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣔⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣟⣷⣄⠙⠁⠀⢀⣀⢖⠢⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⣻⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠛⢁⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠀⡄⠂⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣧⡠⣠⠘⠁⠉⢠⣄⠀⠀⠀⢄⣂⠠⢎⣽⡟⢯⣹⣷⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⣿⡿⣋⣿⣿⡿⢋⠁⡀⠆⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣯⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣶⣀⠀⠀⡵⣷⣷⣶⡉⠵⡞⠈⣻⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡿⠛⢣⣙⠀⡾⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣅⠸⡿⠂⠁⠀⠆⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣄⠀⣾⣿⢸⢟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣆⣾⢿⡿⠟⡩⠓⠙⠃⢈⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣫⡙⠀⠊⢀⣀⣠⣀⡀⢠⣟⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣳⠁⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠠⣾⣗⣿⣎⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣷⣟⣗⣐⢋⣴⣦⢡⠶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠉⠀⢥⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡿⢮⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢱⣞⢻⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣾⣽⣿⣿⡧⣼⣿⠟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⢀⡟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣷⣄⣠⣄⣀⣠⣤⣦⣀⢐⣤⡿⣟⢻⣟⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣷⡯⣾⣿⣿⢟⣀⠀⠈⠉⠻⠿⢿ ⣘⠈⠁⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠣⠟⡇⠛⢵⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣊⣵⣴⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡯⣿⠎⠻⠰⢿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸ ⢮⠗⠀⢀⠀⠹⠿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⢸⠿⡿⣟⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠉⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣠⡾⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣥⡴⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣷⣄⠹⡿⢟⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⡄⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣸⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣦⡙⣿⡿⣇⢘⣠⡖⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠉⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣆⣆⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⢛⣻⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠳⣝⠀⠏⠙⢿⣿⢜⣿⡶⠀⠀⠐⠃⡤⠀⠀⠀ ⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⢆⢰⠇⠀⢀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢷⣄⠔⢧⠙⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠣⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⠝⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡽⣣⢶⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡅⣐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⣄⢀⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠠⡌⠹⠟⠈⠁⠘⠹⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣦⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣷⣄⠑⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣌⠷⣯⣦⠀⠀⠁⠈⢈⠄⠁⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 742 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/Distributions_and_Operating_Systems_NixOS_Distro_Hopping_and_th.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/Distributions_and_Operating_Systems_NixOS_Distro_Hopping_and_th.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Distributions and Operating Systems: NixOS, Distro Hopping, and the Meaning of "Distros"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇NixOS⦈_ * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_ran_NixOS_for_three_months_and_I_either_love_it_or_have Stockholm_syndrome⠀⇛ Linux used to be a bold choice a few years back, but now it's a practical option considering the ‘weird’ course of mainstream operating systems. I experimented with multiple Linux distributions, some of which earned a permanent position in my home devices. However, NixOS is something that is wildly different from the Linux distro I'm used to. It didn't try to fit into a mold, wasn't afraid of pushing bold ideas, and is certainly not the thing a regular user should install. After spending more than three months using NixOS, I've developed a soft spot for it. I'm not hiding the fact that it's difficult to run and use, but the benefits outweigh my initial efforts. * ⚓ XDA ☛ With_my_PC_upgrade_plans_foiled,_I’ve_resorted_to_bringing_old systems_to_life_with_these_4_distros⠀⇛ Before the RAM apocalypse caused PC hardware prices to hit the danger zone, I’d made big grand plans to upgrade a bunch of systems in my arsenal. And I don’t just mean my everyday gaming machine or server nodes, either. Instead, I want to talk about the cheap mini-PCs and old laptops I wanted to set up for my family. Now that I can’t beef up these systems with extra RAM or SSDs, I’ll have to make do with software tweaks. The most obvious one involves purging the inefficient mess called Windows 11 from the PC and replacing it with Linux distributions. But since I plan to give them to folks who have used Windows for most of their lives, I can’t go too deep into the Linux iceberg. So, turning my family members into a part of the Proxmox or TrueNAS factions is out of the question, and I don’t want them to go through the trouble of setting up (and troubleshooting) desktop environments in CLI distros.

The BOSGAME M4 Plus Mini PC is a powerful computer based on an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS processor with integrated Radeon 780M graphics. It’s significantly cheaper than some of the other mini PCs I’m currently writing about. The machine came with 32GB of RAM and 1TB NVMe disk which will be sufficient for most use cases. This article in the series offers a quick tour of the M4’s BIOS. I’m using a simple USB capture device lets me capture attractive screenshots of the BIOS which look decidedly better than any camera could take. I’m not providing images of everything possible for brevity. Unlike some BIOS’s in modern mini PCs, there’s no graphical splash screen with the M4’s BIOS but it is a graphical interface. There’s a fairly spartan Setup menu.

The server must present a TLS certificate before the encrypted connection is established. But the Host header is part of the HTTP request, and that request is only sent inside the encrypted tunnel, after the TLS handshake is completed. This is what Server Name Indication (SNI) solves. SNI is a TLS extension that allows the client to include the target hostname in the Client Hello, early in the TLS handshake, before the HTTP request can be sent. This lets the server choose the correct certificate and continue the handshake, even when multiple HTTPS sites share the same IP address. o § Chromium⠀➾ # ⚓ Ghacks ☛ Opera_GX_Launches_on_GNU/Linux_With_Built-in_Ad Blocker_and_VPN⠀⇛ Opera GX, the gaming-oriented browser from Opera, is now available for Linux users.

Although many people turn to online resources for information on taboo subjects, censorship and low-quality information are common in search results. In two papers I recently published at CSCW—both led by Kaylea Champion—we presented a series of analyses showing how taboo shapes the process of collaborative knowledge building on English Wikipedia. The first study is a quantitative analysis showing that articles on taboo subjects are much more popular and are the subject of more vandalism than articles on non-taboo topics. In surprising news, we also found that they were edited more often and were of higher quality! ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1288 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/Games_GNU_Linux_on_PlayStation_3_Moving_From_Windows_How_SteamO.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/Games_GNU_Linux_on_PlayStation_3_Moving_From_Windows_How_SteamO.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: GNU/Linux on PlayStation 3, Moving From Windows, How SteamOS Changes Perceptions⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇SteamOS⦈_ * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ The_PS3_used_to_have_a_feature_Sony_would_never_allow today⠀⇛ OtherOS was an incredibly interesting piece of history, especially when it came to the incredibly powerful (at the time) PlayStation 3. This may have very likely been the introduction to a lifelong love of Linux for many users, as the console was capable of installing a variety of different distributions onto its internal hard drive. Users could keep their standard PS3 games running on the game side of things, and a partitioned hard drive would allow users to run Linux or a variety of other OSes on their TV. Funny enough, it was also used by the United States Air Force Research Laboratory in 2010. They strung together roughly 1,716 PlayStation 3 consoles to form an incredibly powerful "supercomputer" that was known as the Condor Cluster. At the time, it was one of the fastest computers on the market, and it was brought to life for much cheaper than most would have expected. Unfortunately, the Condor Cluster was decommissioned around 2016 due to consoles not supporting OtherOS. * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ I_got_tired_of_Windows_laptops_and_made_the_obvious switch⠀⇛ Gaming is also surprisingly good now, and I say this having tried all the major gaming distros. CachyOS, Nobara, Bazzite, the performance across the board is better than Windows for most titles. Proton handles the vast majority of your Steam library without you touching a single setting, and in some games you are actually getting better FPS than you would on Windows. The only real exception is games with kernel-level anti-cheat like Valorant, which is a developer decision, not a Linux limitation. But outside that small list, the experience these days is hard to argue with. * ⚓ XDA ☛ SteamOS_desktop_mode_is_the_most_convincing_Linux_pitch_Valve never_intended_to_make⠀⇛ For years, Linux users, advocates and developers have been trying their best to convince mainstream users to switch from Windows and macOS, usually with (valid) arguments about privacy, FOSS adoption, and customization. Unfortunately, those were never the true pain points for mainstream users, and ironically enough, the most compelling pitch never ended up coming from the community—it came from Valve. SteamOS, built primarily to power the Steam Deck, was designed as a gaming appliance. Yet its desktop mode quietly exposes users to a fully functional Linux environment without requiring them to install a new operating system or learn unfamiliar workflows, and with new Steam Hardware on the horizon that will further the desktop experience, gaming on Linux has never been more accessible. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Linux_gaming_got_so_good_that_I’m_only_keeping_my_Windows partition_for_a_single_app⠀⇛ You've probably heard a lot about Linux gaming in recent years, and it's for good reason. The Steam Deck made it very obvious that gaming on Linux is no longer a pipe dream, and you can often have just as good of an experience than you would on Windows. Sometimes, it may even be better. It's gotten to the point where there's a single app that keeps me from removing my Windows partition from my laptop, and it's not even related to gaming. As far as playing games goes, unless you're heavily invested in competitive multiplayer games that require kernel-level anti-cheat, Linux is already fantastic. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠁⠉⠹⢿⣷⣷⣥⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⣀⣄⡀⢰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣵⣾⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣩⣭⣭⣿⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢹⡿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠉⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣄⣤⡀⣀⣀⣀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠆⠶⠰⠶⠄⠰⠆⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢀⣛⣛⣛⣛⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⠭⠁⠀⠉⠩⠭⠅⠀⠄⠄⢤⣤⡀⠀⡘⠛⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡟⠛⠉⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣰⣦⡤⠀⠀⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠀⢀⣠⣀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⡿⢶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣹⣿⣿⣿⠀⠩⣽⣿⠿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠰⣯⣭⣭⣅⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⡜⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⡏⠋⠏⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢺⣿⢿⡿⢻⠀⣴⣿⣿⣧⠀⢿⣿⣿⢷⡄⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⣴⡾⠃⠀⠀⠒⡀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⡌⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣂⣈⠤⡿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠻⠟⠚⠃⠿⠃⠹⠀⠉⠛⠛⠋⠀⠸⢿⢿⣠⠇⠀⠹⠿⠿⠉⠠⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⡶⢄⡀⠀⠰⣌⡉⠀⠀⠀⠈⣦⣈ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢲⣶⣶⣶⡶⢰⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡄⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠈⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠈⠻⣆⠀⠀⠁⠐⠀⢩⣿⣿⠿ ⠀⢀⣀⡀⢀⠀⠰⡾⣿⠼⣉⠈⠉⠛⠻⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⣿⣾⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢻⡟⠈⢺⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠈⢻⡇⣾⠙⣩⡉⢁⠀⢰⣶⣴⣂⡀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⠏⠻⢷⣄⣠⣦⣜⡂⠀⡌⢁⣤⣼⣿⣧⣬ ⠠⢾⣿⣿⡿⣤⣼⣶⣂⣨⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠈⠀⢋⡁⣼⣿⣿⣿⡇⡹⢿⣷⡿⢗⣼⣿⣿⡿⣋⢹⣿⡿⠀⠻⡇⠒⠀⣿⡷⠹⠀⢀⠀⠛⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⡟⢿⣄⠀⠙⠶⠄⣿⣿⡏⠉⢻⣿ ⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣈⡁⠈⠋⠛⠛⠁⠛⠿⠏⠴⠿⠹⠛⠙⠪⠵⠸⠿⣷⣖⢲⡇⢀⣸⣿⣧⠀⠀⠛⠷⠶⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⢶⣌⠛⠟⠈⢀⣾⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢿⣿⠻⠿⠝⢋⣩⣤⣴⠶⢾⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢠⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⡀⡀⢀⣤⣤⣄⣀⡀⣀⣉⣉⣉⣁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣍⣐⠻⠥⣀⣠⢾⡍⠿⣻⣿⣟⠋ ⠀⠀⠀⠄⠤⣴⣢⣾⡭⠠⠀⣐⣎⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠓⠋⠉⠑⠈⠋⠛⠙⠃⠘⠛⠛⠻⠗⠀⠀⠶⠾⠅⠘⠻⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢠⣤⣆⠠⣾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣬⣿⣿⣏⠐⢢⠬⢉⠒⠢⠿⣯⠋⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣒⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠛⠒⠂⠒⠒⠂⠆⠀⠸⠯⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠏⣒⠢⠬⠉⣦⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠛⠛⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣐⡽⢠⡟⣏⣄⣋⠁⠒⠤⣉⡉⠋⠁⠀⡄⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠼⣾⣿⣟⢿⠗⢳⡖⠀⢄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠉⢥⣬⣑⡀⠸⡯⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠳⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⢤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⠀⢀⣴⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠑⠓⠺⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1417 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/Games_New_Titles_Graphics_and_GE_Proton_10_34.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/Games_New_Titles_Graphics_and_GE_Proton_10_34.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: New Titles, Graphics, and GE-Proton 10-34⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 24, 2026 * ⚓ Give_fascists_the_finger_and_a_few_bullets_in_Too_Many_F*cking_Nazis_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ You love taking down fascists right? Too Many F*cking Nazis is a fast and aggressive boomer shooter with roguelite elements and game-changing perks.

If you are like me, don’t worry, you could still play the sequel as is, since it features an introduction that tells the events of the first game in a few minutes. I’m not going to spoil things for you in case you want to do the first one before this sequel. The first game is apparently a fairly short game that can be completed in 7 to 8 hours. This second one lasts about the same, too. The scene takes place on another planet, where two factions are at war and you are caught in the middle. * ⚓ PC Mag ☛ Best_for_Software_Compatibility_and_Gaming⠀⇛ You don’t have a huge number of choices when it comes to your computer's operating system, but the one you pick has wide- ranging consequences. PCMag has been testing operating systems since the dawn of personal computing in the '80s, so we have the experience to inform your decision. The four OSes here are the most popular options: Windows 11, macOS, ChromeOS, and Ubuntu. Each has distinct strengths and weaknesses. macOS and Windows support the widest range of hardware peripherals and software, ChromeOS is lightweight and runs on inexpensive computers, and the Linux-based Ubuntu embraces the open-source model. Read on for a summary of each desktop operating system (in order of usage share), followed by links to our in-depth reviews and advice on how to decide which is best for you. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Valve_adds_early_Steam_Machine_support_in_SteamOS_3.8 —_latest_update_brings_performance_gains,_better_controller_support,_and desktop_improvements⠀⇛ SteamOS 3.8.0 preview introduces early Steam Machine support while delivering performance upgrades, improved VRR, and broader handheld compatibility * § WINE or Emulation⠀➾ o ⚓ XDA ☛ Wine_11_rewrites_how_Linux_runs_Windows_games_at_the_kernel level,_and_the_speed_gains_are_massive⠀⇛ Linux gaming has come a long way. When Valve launched Proton back in 2018, it felt like a turning point, turning the Linux gaming experience from "technically possible if you're okay with a lot of pain" to something that more or less worked. Since then, we've seen incremental Wine releases, each one chipping away at compatibility issues and improving performance bit by bit. Wine 10, Wine 9, and so on; each one a collection of bug fixes and small improvements that kept the ecosystem moving forward. Wine 11 is different. This isn't just another yearly release with a few hundred bug fixes and some compatibility tweaks. It represents a huge number of changes and bug fixes. However, it also ships with NTSYNC support, which is a feature that has been years in the making and rewrites how Wine handles one of the most performance-sensitive operations in modern gaming. On top of that, the WoW64 architecture overhaul is finally complete, the Wayland driver has grown up a lot, and there's a big list of smaller improvements that collectively make this feel like an all-new project. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1609 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/GNU_Linux_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/GNU_Linux_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 24, 2026 * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Late_Night_Linux_–_Episode_378⠀⇛ Age declaration and verification in GNU/Linux gathers pace, Surveillance Giant Google blesses us with some hoops to jump through to install the software we want on stock Android, the FSFE lost their payment provider, great new KDE Plasma and GNOME features, and more. * § Kernel Space / File Systems / Virtualization⠀➾ o ⚓ MJ Pooladkhay ☛ my_first_patch_to_the_linux_kernel⠀⇛ A while ago, I started dipping my toe into virtualization. It's a topic that many people have heard of or are using on a daily basis but a few know and think about how it works under the hood. I like to learn by reinventing the wheel, and naturally, to learn virtualization I started by trying to build a Type-2 hypervisor. This approach is similar to how KVM (Linux) or bhyve (FreeBSD) are built. o ⚓ OtterSec ☛ From_virtio-snd_0-Day_to_Hypervisor_Escape:_Exploiting QEMU_with_an_Uncontrolled_Heap_Overflow⠀⇛ Heap overflows are often exploitable, but far less so when the corrupted bytes are not under your control. In many cases, that kind of bug is written off as a crash and nothing more. However, in this post we show how we turned such an overflow into a reliable QEMU guest-to- host escape by abusing new glibc allocator behavior and QEMU-specific heap spray techniques. * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ Collabora ☛ Re-thinking_framebuffers_in_PanVK⠀⇛ PanVK’s new framebuffer abstraction for Mali GPUs removes OpenGL-specific constraints, unlocking more flexible tiled rendering features in Vulkan. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o ⚓ [Old] Felix ☛ I_Hate:_Programming_Wayland_Applications⠀⇛ So, over the years there has been a push to switch from X11 to Wayland. And, at least on a surface level, this makes sense to me: Developers probably have learned a lot about the various requirements of desktops, so having a (mostly) clean cut for this new desktop environment seems promising. I have read claims stating that Wayland is inherently more secure than X11. Wayland isn't "outdated", we can design the desktop with performance and modern use-cases in mind. I am typing this on a desktop machine running sway, which is a Wayland compositor. There definitely have been the common hurdles like desktop recording / sharing not working. But over time, these issues have been resolved - at least for my machine. Some years ago, I tried out both X11 and Wayland (I think back on Arch Linux). And honestly, the sway installation was far easier than the i3/X11 one. This ease of installation, combined with Wayland supposedly being "the future of Linux Desktops", and it supporting X11 applications via XWayland, made me stick to sway, even with its rough edges. That was the story of me using Wayland. Now comes the developing part - which has been a fucking nightmare. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Zoë Finja Emilia Kron ☛ How_do_you_trust_a_new_Linux Distribution?⠀⇛ Direct trust is you trusting your best friend.

I’m a loose cannon of the highest order, I know. Though Microsoft and Linux systems urge you to have this feature enabled, your PC will often run just fine without it. * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ My_laptop_fans_were_driving_me_crazy_until_I_changed_this overlooked_setting⠀⇛ Naturally, I did what most Linux users do when something feels wrong: I opened system monitors and started looking for a misbehaving process. Nothing looked suspicious. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Microsoft_says_your_PC_can't_run_Windows_11,_but_these_Linux distros_run_better_on_it_anyway⠀⇛ Microsoft didn't budge from its original stance on Windows 11 system requirements. Back then, Windows 10 worked, so it wasn't an issue. Its successor demanded a little more raw power and security hardware, but no one paid attention. Cut to 2026, Windows 10 is on its last legs, and Windows 11 won't run due to missing security hardware support or other official requirements. However, Microsoft's rescinding support for older devices doesn't mean your PC is obsolete. Linux is a safe haven for both old and new systems. Even if you've got a dual-core i3 laptop or a PC with slightly higher specs, almost all the Linux distro library is available at your disposal. Let's discuss the distributions that offer a better OS experience without making you feel the pain of missing out on Windows 11. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_wiped_my_Linux_install_on_purpose,_and_one_config_file_brought everything_back_in⠀⇛ Declarative Linux distributions do not appeal to everyone. It mentions everything in a single configuration file, and something like NixOS is far from the idea of an “easy” Linux distro. I'm in awe of the declarative approach and the possibilities it brings for Linux. NixOS has multiple useful features, including generations, atomic updates, and a few more. I can also try packages without installing them and then purge them with garbage collection later on. Since it uses the declarative approach and mentions that it's super easy to recreate your system on the same or other machines. With that thought in mind, I purged my NixOS install after making a backup of the configuration file. The idea was to restore my NixOS to the same state with all the packages, settings, and services. It worked out fantastically, and you can do the same if you ever switch to Linux. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠧⠤⠤⠬⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠓⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠢⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⢤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀ ⠉⠈⠀⠀⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⣠⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣤⠀⠀⠠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⠿⠿⠟⠉⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣀⣈⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣴⣤⡀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⣠⣄⣀⣄⠀⣠⣀⣀⣀⣄⣀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠉⠉⠁⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠋⠛⠫⠀⠙⠻⠻⠛⠀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠘⢛⣛⣛⣻⣛⣛⣟⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⡀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⣤⣲⣿⣯⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣭⣭⣭⣩⣍⣉⢭⣍⡁⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⠛⠟⠟⢿⢿⠿⠷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣖⣒⣒⣛⣒⡒⠒⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣄⣤⣴⣆⣴⡀⣀⣀⣢⣀⣀⣒⣲⣶⣾⣿⣶⣶⣾⣿⣶⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣍⣉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠍⠩⡫⣋⣉⢕⣤⣴⡷⣶⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡟⠛⠓⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣾⣿⣷⣿⣾⣶⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠭⠭⠥⠤⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣴⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⡋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⡟⠛⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⣿⣛⠽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣥⠕⠒⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠹⠽⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣛⣉⣉⣉⣉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣷⣦⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠶⡾⠷⠛⠾⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⡿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠑⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠏⠉⡍⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠈⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠂⠒⠒⠤⠅⠐⠲⠿⠛⠛⠑⠒⠀⠂⠀⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠂⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1843 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/IBM_Red_Hat_Promoting_Slop_and_Other_Products.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/IBM_Red_Hat_Promoting_Slop_and_Other_Products.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ IBM/Red Hat Promoting Slop and Other Products⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 24, 2026 * ⚓ Colin_Walters:_Agent_security_is_just_security [Ed: IBM promoting slop as "cheap" security]⠀⇛ Suddenly I have been hearing the term Landlock more in (agent) security circles. To me this is a bit weird because while Landlock is absolutely a useful GNU/Linux security tool, it’s been a bit obscure and that’s for good reason. It feels to me a lot like the how weird prevalence_of_the_word_delve became a clear tipoff that LLMs were the ones writing, not a human. * ⚓ GNOME ☛ Christian_Schaller:_Using_Hey_Hi_(AI)_to_create_some_hardware tools_and_bring_back_the_past⠀⇛ As I talked about in a couple of blog posts now I been working a lot with Hey Hi (AI) recently as part of my day to day job at Red Hat, but also spending a lot of evenings and weekend time on this (sorry kids pappa has switched to 1950’s mode for now). One of the things I spent time on is trying to figure out what the limitations of Hey Hi (AI) models are and what kind of use they can have for Open Source developers. One thing to mention before I start talking about some of my concrete efforts is that I more and more come to conclude that Hey Hi (AI) is an incredible tool to hypercharge someone in their work, but I feel it tend to fall short for fully autonomous systems. In my experiments Hey Hi (AI) can do things many many times faster than you ordinarily could, talking specifically in the context of coding here which is what is most relevant for those of us in the open source community. * ⚓ Alexander_Bokovoy:_ASN.1_for_legacy_apps:_Synta⠀⇛ Pretty much everything I deal with requires parsing ASN.1 encodings. ASN.1 definitions published as part of internet RFCs: certificates are encoded using DER, LDAP exchanges use BER, Kerberos packets are using DER as well. ASN.1 use is a never ending source of security issues in pretty much all applications. Having safer ASN.1 processing is important to any application developer. * ⚓ Cockpit_Project:_Cockpit_358⠀⇛ Cockpit is the modern_GNU/Linux_admin_interface.

This framework allowed us to iterate rapidly and make progress. We all know that testing is a vital part of building applications. However, existing test frameworks and approaches don't work well for agentic systems because of inherent variability. It's not as simple as checking that the agent said exactly, "Yes, you are eligible"—the agent might communicate that in any number of different ways.  * ⚓ Marco d'Itri ☛ Marco_d'Itri:_systemd_has_not_implemented_age verification⠀⇛ This needs to be clear: systemd is under attack by a trolling campaign orchestrated by fascist elements. Nobody is forced to like or use systemd, but anybody who wants to pick a side should know the facts. Recently, the free software Nazi_bar crowd styling themselves as "concerned citizens" has tried to start a moral_panic by saying that systemd is implementing age verification checks or that somehow it will require providing personally identifiable information. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Upgrade_Advanced_Cluster_Management_hubs_without_disruption⠀⇛ The challenge of upgrading Red_Hat_Advanced_Cluster_Management for_Kubernetes hub clusters has traditionally been a high-risk operation. In-place upgrades carry several significant risks, including extended maintenance windows that can affect hundreds of managed clusters, a higher risk of upgrade failures potentially leaving hubs in inconsistent states, possible disruption to policy enforcement and governance, and critical downtime for management operations. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2015 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/I_ditched_GIMP_for_Krita_and_never_looked_back.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/I_ditched_GIMP_for_Krita_and_never_looked_back.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ I ditched GIMP for Krita and never looked back⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Krita_design⦈_ Quoting: I ditched GIMP for Krita and never looked back — Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: When I made the jump from Windows to Linux midway through 2025, I knew I had to find an alternative to one of my favorite image editors, Paint.net. It was simple, it did the job, and unfortunately, it wasn't on Linux. So, I went for the next-best thing I could think of off the top of my head: GIMP. GIMP was doing well for a little while, but the longer I used it, the more I felt the friction points versus what I wanted from an image editor. And it's easy to see why I felt them; Paint.net is a very simple little app, while GIMP is a little too mighty for the use- cases I was giving it. However, one of my biggest pain points was that I wanted to use GIMP as a drawing tool, and GIMP is not great for that. So, it was time to find a new home, and I found one in Krita.

Android has taken some steps in this direction and there's now a new, built-in Linux terminal on Android.

Depending which version of Qt and KDE Frameworks you build, the same source will result in one of the other. Both versions are almost functionally identical, with 6.0.0 having more Wayland functionality. But note that since Krita 6 is still considered rather experimental, since it's our first release based on Qt 6, and there were many complicated changes between 5 and 6. For real work, please use 5.3.0! We expect 6.0 to become the main version of Krita before the end of the year, though.

I know.  Earlier in the week, we presented some of the newest additions to our suite of Powered by Raspberry Pi partner products, and told you how to get our seal of approval for your own. * ⚓ I_Ran_Hey_Hi_(AI)_on_a_Raspberry_Pi…_The_Results_Were_Unexpected⠀⇛ I tried running a ChatGPT-style Hey Hi (AI) model locally on a Raspberry Pi… and the results were not what I expected. When you use an online or cloud-based service like ChatGPT, you’re obviously sharing your data with another company. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ ESP32-P4_revision_3.0_gains_new_power_rail,_requires_new PCB_design_and_firmware⠀⇛ Espressif’s ESP32-P4 revision 3.0 and greater converts pin 54 of the chip from NC (not connected) to a power rail (VDD_HP_1), requires a few extra passives, and an updated firmware. Espressif Systems first unveiled the 400 MHz ESP32-P4 dual-core RISC-V SoC in January 2023, and the official ESP32-P4-Function- EV development board was launched in August 2024, with commercial solutions slowly ramping up last year. You’d think the silicon and related hardware would now be frozen, but apparently not. The pin 54 was likely converted from NC (not connected) to VDD_HP_1 to improve the stability of the high- performance digital domain. The old revisions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.3 are not recommended for new designs, and the company advises people to use revision 3.0 or 3.1. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ The_Zero-Power_Flight_Computer⠀⇛ There were a rash of flight computers starting in the 1920s that were essentially specialized slide rules. The most popular one appeared in the late 1930s. Philip Dalton’s circular slide rule was cheap to produce and easy to use. As you’ll see, it is more than just an ordinary slide rule. Keep in mind, these were not computers in the sense we think of today. They were simple slide rules that easily did specialized math useful to pilots. Dalton actually developed a number of computers. The popular Model B appeared in 1933, and there were refinements leading to additional models. The Mark VII was very popular. Even Fred Noonan, Amelia Earhart’s navigator, used a Mark VII. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ PicoZ80_Is_A_Drop-in_Replacement_For_Everyone’s_Favorite Zilog_CPU⠀⇛ You can probably guess where this is going: an RP2350B on a DIP-40 sized PCB can easily sit on the bus and emulate a Z80. It can do so with only one core, without breaking a sweat. That left [eaw] a second core to play with, allowing the picoZ80 to act as a heck of an accelerator, memory expander, USB host, disk emulator– you name it. He even tossed in an ESP32 co- processor to act as a WiFi, Bluetooth, and SD-card controller to use as a virtual, wirelessly accessible disk drive. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Acoustic_Drone_Detection_On_The_Cheap_With_ESP32⠀⇛ The key is what you might call ‘retrovation’– innovation by looking backwards. Most drone detection schema are looking to the ways we search for larger aircraft, and use RADAR. Before RADAR there were acoustic detectors, like the famous Japanese “war tubas” that went viral many years ago. RADAR modules aren’t cheap, but MEMS microphones are– and drones, especially quad-copters, aren’t exactly quiet. [TN666] thus made the choice to use acoustic detection in order to democratize drone detection. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Build_This_Open-Source_Graphics_Calculator⠀⇛ NumOS comes to us from [El-EnderJ]. It’s a scientific and graphic calculator system built to run on the ESP32-S3 with an ILI9341 screen. It’s intended to rival calculators like the Casio fx-991EX ClassWiz and the TI-84 Plus CE in terms of functionality. To that end, it has a full computer algebra system and a custom math engine to do all the heavy lifting a graphic calculator is expected to do, like symbolic differentiation and integration. It also has a Natural V.P.A.M- like display—if you’re unfamiliar with Casio’s terminology, it basically means things like fractions and integrals are rendered as you’d write them on paper rather than in uglier simplified symbology. * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ The_Flipper_One_looks_like_a_serious_hacking_tool,_and_I_can't wait_to_try_it_-_here's_why⠀⇛ Without doubt, my favorite gadget from the past few years has been the Flipper Zero -- a pocket-sized Swiss Army knife that grants its owner access to a digital world otherwise off- limits. By using its cutesy pixel-art dolphin interface, even complete newbies to hacking can immediately start reading, copying, and even emulating RFID, NFC, radio remotes, iButtons, and digital keycards. It even includes its own GPIO interface for direct, wired access to devices, and an IR emitter to interface with devices that use remote controls. With some extra modules, you can even start exploring things like Wi-Fi hacking. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2842 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/Programming_Leftovers.1.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/Programming_Leftovers.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 24, 2026 * ⚓ Adam_Young:_The_Value_of_Blogging_as_a_programmer⠀⇛ Today at the local Python meetup, I repeated my little speech encouraging the other members to blog. They, in turn, suggested I write a blog post explaining what I just told them. It is entirely possible I have written this before in my 2.5 decods of recording my thoughts in web format, but maybe I still have something new to add. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Digital_Biology_with_R:_Advanced_Bioinformatics,_Predictive Modeling,_and_Time_Series_Analysis_for_Modern_Life_Sciences⠀⇛ Digital Biology with R Digital biology is no longer a niche intersection between biology and computation.

I used an LLM to write the first draft, though this had come after many hours of planning and going through the data and analyses to identify the points to be made, as well as me going through the post line by line, editing into my voice and verifying the wording and scope of the text was accurate. However, many people still felt like the LLM-speak bled through in ways that felt uncomfortable. Given this, I and other members of the Rust Project have decided to retract the post in its entirety. I stand by the content of the post. As I said, the LLM did not decide the points to be made - those were done well in advance of even beginning to write the blog post. And, admittedly, I did need to make edits to dampen the scope of them (in large part because I couldn't find specific quotes to substantiate them, even though I often "felt" that they were true given what I know as a Rust Project member), but in general I (and the Vision Doc team) defined the content, not an LLM. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2915 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 24, 2026 * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ The_easiest_way_to_build_a_local_dev_toolbox_with_one file⠀⇛ Every developer I know has been through the same cycle. You start a new project, and you need a database. So you download PostgreSQL or MySQL, go through configuration, and forget the password you set five minutes later. A few months down the line, you start another project that needs a different version of that database, or perhaps it needs Redis, and suddenly your host machine is a graveyard of services you installed once and forgot about. There are many ways to solve this problem (way too many to be honest), but for a personal local dev environment, the simplest and most maintainable solution is to put everything in a single Docker Compose file. * ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ Bored_of_eating_your_own_dogfood?_Try_smelling_your_own farts!⠀⇛ "Dogfooding" is a sacred practice in the tech industry. Use your own products. That's it. That's all you have to do. For example, if you work for Slack - you can't use Teams for your messaging solution. You have to show people that you have faith in your own products. But it goes deeper than that. When I used to work for mobile phone networks, they asked us to spend time in call centres. It isn't enough to receive a quarterly report on customer KPIs. You have to hear the rage in customers' voices as they struggle with your billing system. Perhaps that will convince you to have empathy with the people paying to use your product. * ⚓ Nelson Elhage ☛ From_error-handling_to_structured_concurrency⠀⇛ Today I want to ask: how should we update this pattern for concurrent programs, where there is no single stack? How do we organize our code to handle error conditions, in the presence of multiple concurrent tasks2? * ⚓ Jussi Pakkanen ☛ Everything_old_is_new_again:_memory_optimization⠀⇛ Peak consumption is ~100 kB in this implementation. It uses only 7.7% of the amount of memory required by the Python version. * ⚓ Lean Rada ☛ Flow_field_visualisation_on_my_homepage⠀⇛ I did a few optimisations to make it smoother, but in the end I had to lower the framerate and tried to make the low frame rate look intentional. Optimisation was important especially for mobile devices. * ⚓ Andreas ☛ SSE_for_a_real-time_sensor_dashboard⠀⇛ In one of my small sensor dashboard projects, I had multiple devices sending measurements to a backend, and a browser UI showing those measurements live. At first, I was considering the usual options: polling or maybe WebSockets. Polling would work, but it means the browser asks the server for updates on a timer. WebSockets would also work, but they felt heavier than what I actually needed. The browser did not need a full two-way channel. It mostly just needed to receive updates whenever any device sent a new measurement. That made Server-Sent Events (SSE) a good fit. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Why_Advanced_Attribution_Matters_More_When_Everyone_Else_Uses Last_Touch⠀⇛ I just read Ron Berman’s paper Beyond the Last Touch: Attribution in Online Advertising, and I think the most useful implication for practitioners is slightly different from the headline result. The paper compares no attribution, last-touch attribution, and Shapley-value attribution in a multi-publisher advertising market. Its central result is that attribution is not just a reporting layer. It changes bidding incentives and therefore changes market outcomes. That matters because most advertisers still do not operate with advanced measurement. In many cases they rely on some mix of: [...] * ⚓ Daniel Holden ☛ Inertial_Easing⠀⇛ So let me try to explain my interpretation of Inertial Easing: Inertial Easing starts with the following problem statement (which might sound familiar to those who have read my article on springs).

Perl also augmented the domain-specific sublanguage of regular expressions with a large collection of extended patterns; some of these were later adopted by many other languages or products under the name "Perl-compatible regular expressions". * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ James Bennett ☛ Rewriting_a_20-year-old_Python_library⠀⇛ Over the next six years, I periodically pushed out small releases of akismet, mostly focused on keeping up with upstream Python version support (and finally going Python-3-only, in 2020 when Python 2.7 reached its end of upstream support). But beginning in 2024, I embarked on a more ambitious project which spanned multiple releases and turned into a complete rewrite of akismet which finished a few months ago. So today I’d like to talk about why I chose to do that, how the process went, and what it produced. * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Speeding_up_tidySummarizedExperiment_through_query optimisation_and_the_plyxp_backend⠀⇛ The generality of tidySummarizedExperiment makes it easy to interface with several tidyverse packages (e.g. dplyr, tidyr, ggplot2, purrr, plotly). This is possible thanks to its approach of converting SummarizedExperiment objects to tibbles, performing operations, and converting back to the original format. This conversion process introduces substantial overhead when working with large- scale datasets. Each operation requires multiple data transformations, with the conversion to tibble format creating memory copies of the entire dataset, followed by the reverse conversion back to SummarizedExperiment. For datasets containing hundreds of samples and tens of thousands of genes, these repeated conversions can consume memory and add significant computational overhead to even simple operations such as filtering or grouping. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3109 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/Proprietary_Microsoft_Software_Slop_Made_Slopware_Breaks_Itself.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/Proprietary_Microsoft_Software_Slop_Made_Slopware_Breaks_Itself.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Proprietary Microsoft Software (Slop-Made Slopware?)

Don't get me wrong; if all you need is basic music streaming, you'll (probably) have no complaints. Sadly, the moment your needs stretch beyond that, you'll quickly notice that Spotify's Linux desktop app still needs some work. For starters, as some Shopify community members have reported, the desktop app can experience weird bugs, like a non- responsive close button, misfiring desktop notifications for local music files, and rendering/theming issues on some Linux distributions. That's perhaps because Spotify for Linux is no longer in active development. The other unfortunate thing is the lack of an official now playing desktop widget. I find the latter especially frustrating because having to open the Spotify app every time I need to know what song is playing is a major distraction. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Claude_Code_is_the_perfect_tool_to_help_configure_your_Linux distro [Ed: Giving slop control is generally a bad idea]⠀⇛ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠰⣶⠀⢰⣶⣶⠀⢲⠀⠀⢀⣂⡀⠂⢒⠐⠂⡂⡐⡐⠂⠐⣀⣀⣄⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡤⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢛⣛⡀⠭⠥⠭⠨⡍⠵⠦⠶⠖⠶⠃⠂⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⣿⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⠋⠉⠙⠢⠈⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢉⠉⡄⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⢽⡿⣟⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣤⣄⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣄⣀⣀⠬⠀⠠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡇⠸⠂⠃⠞⠀⠀⢸⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠈⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠨⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣉⡭⠍⠉⠉⠉⠁⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠄⠀⢸⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣽⣯⣤⡤⣴⣶⢼⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡅⠀⠿⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣯⠀⠁⠀⣶⣶⠀⠀⡠⣀⣀⣤⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⡄⣾⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⢐⢦⠀⠀⣶⡺⠅⢄⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠶⠆⠃⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠈⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠘⣻⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡆⠠⠌⠉⠁⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠤⠰⠀⠀⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣇⣿⣧⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡶⠀⠰⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠛⠁⣶⣿⣙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢠⣶⣶⣶⡖⠀⣤⣴⣿⡿⣿⣟⣿⠇⠐⠒⠒⠂⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣁⠀⢠⣽⣿⣿⣯⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣉⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠸⠿⡿⠿⣿⣃⣿⡇⠚⠫⠭⠭⠅⠀⠰⠔⠂⠂⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠒⠒⣶⡎⠈⢹⣿⡽⣍⣷⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⢇⣛⢛⣚⣓⢀⠀⠠⠤⠤⠆⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠀⢐⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⣿⡇⢀⣼⣿⣷⣿⣿⣴⡟⠋⠉⠙⠛⢸⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⠀⢰⣄⠦⠂⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠛⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⡰⣾⠀⠐⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⠃⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠙⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠋⠉⠈⠉⠀⠈⠀⠒⠂⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣿⡆⠠⠤⠥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠠⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⡀⠀⠀⠨⡌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3202 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/Proprietary_Omni_Qt_Microsoft_Trying_to_Mislead_and_Curtail_GNU.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/Proprietary_Omni_Qt_Microsoft_Trying_to_Mislead_and_Curtail_GNU.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Proprietary: Omni, Qt, Microsoft Trying to Mislead and Curtail GNU/Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 24, 2026 * ⚓ Sidero_Labs_Enhances_Omni_With_Integration_for_Existing_Talos_Linux Clusters⠀⇛ According to a recent LinkedIn post from Sidero Labs, the company’s Omni platform now supports an “on-ramp” for existing Talos Linux clusters.

For starters, nothing beats the convenience of running a simple command from the Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts repo and watching your favorite app come to life as an LXC. Alternatively, you can look into the TurnKey templates on Proxmox and use them to spin up an LXC armed with all the packages to host the service. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_found_a_Proxmox_tool_that_turns_a_long_setup_into_simple_menus, and_I'm_annoyed_I_didn't_know_about_it_sooner⠀⇛ Setting up Proxmox always starts small and then sprawls. You begin with a clean install, a few sensible tweaks, maybe a change to a no-subscription repository, and before long, you’re editing boot parameters, checking passthrough guides, and double-checking that the one command you copied six months ago is still the right one. That is part of the home lab appeal, but it is also where a lot of friction creeps in. The deeper you go, the more setup starts to feel like homework you assign yourself. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I_added_my_computer_to_Home_Assistant,_and_you_should too⠀⇛ You might not consider your computer a vital part of your smart home, but it can be. Integrating your Windows, Mac, or Linux workstation with Home Assistant lets you use your computer as a trigger or condition for household automations, and even send commands depending on your operating system. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ Pixel_desktop_mode_is_only_good_with_these three_tweaks⠀⇛ Desktop mode, whether on Samsung DeX (which works especially well as a widget dashboard) or most Android phones running Android 16, is a great way to get more work done by utilizing a larger screen, along with (ideally) a wireless mouse and keyboard (we especially like mechanical keyboards here at MUO, but please keep them clean). The latest update to the Pixels, which is the Android 16 QPR3 update from March 2026, brought some key improvements to desktop mode on the Pixels, including proper resizable floating windows, full external mouse and keyboard support, a persistent taskbar with memory of your pinned apps, and more. While desktop mode works great out of the box, there are a few tweaks you should make first to get the most out of this feature. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3447 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/The_Person_Who_Tries_to_Take_Tux_Machines_Offline_Does_Not_Want.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/The_Person_Who_Tries_to_Take_Tux_Machines_Offline_Does_Not_Want.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The Person Who Tries to Take Tux Machines Offline Does Not Want You to Read About What He Did⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 24, 2026, updated Mar 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇John_Stables,_5RB,_Ofcom⦈_ 3 weeks ago we started a series.

and Ubuntu. When to use each tool, how the commands map to each other, and which one belongs in your scripts. * ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ How_to_Install_Desktop_on_Ubuntu_Server_26.04⠀⇛ * ⚓ Systemd_Crossword:_Test_Your_Knowledge_of_GNU/Linux_"ctl_Commands"⠀⇛ A fun GNU/Linux crossword puzzle featuring systemd ctl commands like systemctl and journalctl. Perfect for testing and improving your GNU/Linux skills. * ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ Ubuntu_26.04_Now_Shows_Sudo_Password_Asterisk Feedback_[How_to_Restore]⠀⇛ Ubuntu 26.04 LTS finally breaks the longstanding security tradition by now displaying the asterisk feedback when typing sudo password in terminal or command console. As you know, most GNU/Linux distributions by default do not show any feedback when user is inputting password in terminal or any other command console for sudo authentication. * ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ How_to_Create_and_Manage_Swap_Files_on_Ubuntu_26.04⠀⇛ * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_FOSSBilling_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Running a hosting business or managing billing for digital services without a solid client management system is a pain. You either pay for expensive SaaS tools or wrestle with outdated open-source projects that have gone stale. FOSSBilling changes that equation entirely. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Passbolt_on_Rocky_GNU/Linux_10⠀⇛ Managing passwords across a team without a proper system is a security incident waiting to happen. Shared spreadsheets, reused credentials, and email threads with plaintext passwords are exactly how breaches start. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Rclone_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Managing files across cloud storage from a GNU/Linux server is painful without the right tool. You end up juggling browser uploads, proprietary clients, or brittle shell scripts that break at the worst possible time. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OpenZL_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ OpenZL represents a significant advancement in data compression technology. Developed by Meta, this open- source format-aware compression framework delivers exceptional compression ratios while maintaining high processing speeds, making it ideal for large-scale data operations and Hey Hi (AI) workloads. Installing OpenZL on Debian 13 “Trixie” provides a stable, production-ready environment for leveraging this powerful compression tool. * § linuxcapable⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Discord_on_Linux_Mint_22_and_21⠀⇛ Discord still fills the same role for gaming groups, study servers, and developer communities that need voice chat, screen sharing, and persistent text channels in one place. o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_balenaEtcher_on_Ubuntu_24.04_and 22.04⠀⇛ Writing install media with dd works until one mistyped device path wipes the wrong drive.

This is a fairly old tech — created by a standards group in 1999 — that allows a program to open an incoming port into your home network. Of course, most routers let you do this manually, but outside of the Hackaday universe, most people don’t know how to log into their routers, much less how to configure an open UDP port. I recently found myself using a temporary setup where I could not access the router directly, but I needed some open ports. That got me thinking: if a program can open a port using UPnP, why can’t I? Turns out, of course, you can. Maybe. * ⚓ Christian Hofstede-Kuhn ☛ Dual-FIB_Policy_Routing_on_FreeBSD:_Two Upstreams,_One_Server,_Zero_Confusion⠀⇛ The previous articles in this series covered the BGP router side: obtaining an AS, peering with upstream providers, and building a tunnel overlay. This article covers the other end - the downstream server that consumes that tunnel and needs to serve traffic from two completely different IP ranges through two completely different paths, simultaneously, without either one interfering with the other. The server in question is radon, a Netcup VPS running FreeBSD with Bastille jails. It has two [Internet] uplinks: a physical connection to Netcup’s network and a GIF tunnel to my BGP router (hobgp). Jails on this server use three distinct routing paradigms - private NAT, natively routed BGP IPv6, and pure public routed BGP IPv4 - all on the same bridge interface. The mechanism that makes this work is dual-FIB policy routing: two independent routing tables in the kernel, with PF deciding which table handles which traffic based on source address. It’s elegant once you understand it, and surprisingly simple to configure once you’ve seen it done. * ⚓ [Old] LWN ☛ So_you_think_you_understand_IP_fragmentation?⠀⇛ IP fragmentation is when an IP (Internet Protocol) packet is split into smaller pieces before it is sent to another computer. TCP and UDP, along with a lot of other network protocols, are implemented on top of IP. Many networking experts think they know when IP fragmentation will happen, and I thought I did too—until I had to implement an algorithm for a VPN. That's when I learned that, like me, a lot of other networking experts are quite bad at predicting when a packet would be split into pieces. To explain why, we start with what IP fragmentation is. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 4275 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/Valnet_on_Unix_workstations_and_year_of_Linux.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/Valnet_on_Unix_workstations_and_year_of_Linux.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Valnet on "Unix workstations" and "year of Linux"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 24, 2026 * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Whatever_happened_to_Unix_workstations?⠀⇛ In the '80s and early '90s, powerful Unix workstations dominated technical tasks like science and 3D animation. Let's find out where they went and where you can still find them today. § What were Unix workstations? Unix workstations were powerful computers that ran some variant of Unix. As the name implies, they were meant for serious work such as software development, CAD, or graphics. They were widely used by scientists, engineers, researchers, and computer animators in academia and industry. Sun Microsystems, HP, and Silicon Graphics were some of the biggest manufacturers of workstations in that era. Unix was popular on these systems because it was easier than writing a system from scratch and the source code was available, even if it was at a steep price. Developers were also familiar with Unix from their college days. * ⚓ XDA ☛ The_"year_of_Linux"_may_never_come,_but_I’m_still_recommending_it to_everyone⠀⇛ As someone who switched to Linux less than a year ago after using Windows my whole life, writing that headline feels a little surreal. But it's true — ever since switching to Linux, I've wanted to recommend this platform to everyone, despite some of the adversities. Linux fans have been proclaiming the year of Linux for about as long as I can remember, and obviously, it's never happened, at least not on the desktop. It probably will never happen, and there are good reasons for that. But if given the choice, I'd move all my Windows PCs to Linux, and whenever possible, I recommend it to friends, family, and anyone else who might benefit from it. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 4339 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/You_ve_heard_wrong_Pop_OS_isn_t_the_best_beginner_Linux_distro.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/24/You_ve_heard_wrong_Pop_OS_isn_t_the_best_beginner_Linux_distro.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ You've heard wrong: Pop!_OS isn't the best beginner Linux distro⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Pop_OS_with_cross_sign⦈_ Quoting: You've heard wrong: Pop!_OS isn't the best beginner Linux distro — Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: Pop!_OS keeps getting recommended as the obvious beginner Linux distro, usually based on a few convenient defaults. It installs Nvidia drivers automatically, ships with a polished tiling workflow, and comes from System76, a company that also sells Linux laptops and desktops, which creates the impression of something closer to a vertically integrated stack. However, if you move beyond the promotional layer and look at how the system is actually designed, a different picture appears. Pop!_OS is not really trying to be the simplest Linux system for newcomers. Instead, it is increasingly a distro built for users who already understand Linux well enough.
