With this fresh new protocol, written natively for Wayland, the concept of session management existed in the previous X11 display server but it is finally coming to Wayland. If you are curious, XDG stands for Cross Desktop Group. The X could have been Xorg or X11 once upon a time. Actually, it's all under the freedesktop.org organization that creates standards that work across all desktop environments in Linux. Read_on Valnet: * ⚓ Wayland_is_getting_a_6-year-long_fix_for_its_most_annoying_quirk,_and KDE_and_GNOME_are_already_implementing_it⠀⇛ If you've used a Wayland-based Linux operating system, you'll know that windows that you close don't reappear where they were when a session ends, such as after a crash or a logout. It's been a long-standing problem, so much so that a fix for this unwanted behavior has been under development for 6 years now.

(text-based user interface) as the devs moved from the previous curses-based interface to a textual one based on the Textual framework, which should provide users with a more modern Arch Linux installation experience. You can use Archinstall 4.0 immediately with the current Arch Linux ISO snapshot upon updating it using the sudo pacman -Sy archinstall command at the terminal prompt. Check to see if you have version 4.0 with the archinstall - v command.

It is one of the very few remaining distros that still offer 32-bit support, and the new Elive release even keeps up with the times by adding support for the OpenRC init system during installation for users who don’t want to use the controversial systemd init system.

The main challenge will be to keep GNU/Linux free (as in freedom). █ =============================================================================== Image source: Easter_Girl_with_Bunnies_1907_Public_Domain ⠀⠒⣀⣀⢠⣀⡀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣦⣦⣶⣴⣶⣦⣤⣤⣀⣒⣀⣂⣰⠶⢶⣶⣶⣶⣲⣆⣀⢤⡀⠀⠀⠄⣀⡀⠠⠀⠀⠂ ⠀⠠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡜⢛⣻⡀⠐⠒⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠀⠑⠺⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⣮⣍⣭⣚⣛⣛⡂⠀⡐⡲⠿⠜⠇⠀⠔⢀⠀ ⠀⠶⢿⣟⢿⣿⢫⣿⣿⣿⠋⡽⢿⣗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠁⠊⠀⠾⠻⡻⠿⠛⠻⠿⢿⣟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠿⡤⠪⠤⠐⠊⡄⣫⡁⣤⣃⡄ ⠀⡅⠾⡗⡦⢿⢿⣝⣿⣷⣶⡙⢻⣷⡷⠀⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠀⠀⠙⠠⣒⡉⠙⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣆⢙⣤⠅⠴⣿⢣⠳⣽⣾⣾⠇ ⠀⢹⣤⣿⠆⢺⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣧⠈⣫⣴⢸⢏⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠁⠚⠉⠉⠙⠛⡹⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⢧⡄⠗⢡⡼⠤⣫⣁⠁ ⠈⠈⢻⣹⣇⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣽⣽⣯⡽⢻⠓⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠲⡖⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣕⠁⣶⣩⣪⡻⡾⡄ ⠀⣶⠾⣿⣾⣽⣷⣿⠟⠡⡿⢿⢏⣙⣳⣟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠼⡷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣻⡟⠓⠁⢻⣭⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣿⣿⠟⣲⡑⡍ ⠀⡘⢿⡟⢻⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣤⣀⣺⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⢿⣯⡽⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠠⡀⠀⢀⣤⡙⠛⠚⣩⣿⣿⣿⣧⢂⠐⡿⢃⡂ ⠀⠃⣾⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣎⠉⠹⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⢇⣙⣻⣿⣿⡀⠀⠁⢀⣿⣹⣷⡄⠀⠬⣹⣿⣿⣿⡿⡠⣟⣷⡇ ⠀⣤⡿⠷⠠⠇⠈⢿⣿⣿⡏⣀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢉⣯⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣿⣻⣿⣿⠃⣀⣸⣿⣿⡿⡿⢵⢿⡗⠹⠁ ⠘⠺⠶⢦⣠⣄⣰⣿⣿⣿⣟⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣙⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣭⢏⣾⣩⣶⣼⡇ ⢐⡂⣤⠀⠀⠈⠍⠉⣚⠉⠻⠷⣲⣼⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣤⣤⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣶⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢢⣼⣟⡟⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⠎⢚⣾⣿⣇⣿⡇ ⢸⡣⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠐⠂⠭⠉⣛⡛⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣤⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢀⣐⣴⣿⣿⣇⣼⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⢿⣦⣿⣿⡇⣿⢹⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠐⠒⠈⠩⠝⠛⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢹⠈⣽⣿⣿⣿⣸⣿⢀⣾⣿⣿⡿⠿⣟⣇⣀⣷⣿⣿⡯⡷⣿⣶⡇ ⢰⡤⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡼⠓⠀⠀⠊⠭⠝⣛⡛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣤⣤⣀⣀⠀⢀⡙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣍⠻⠷⣿⡿⠿⢴⡖⢜⡻⠿⠋⠒⠗⠶⠒⢏⢿⠇ ⠈⠛⠙⡉⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣇⣠⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣄⡀⠈⠉⢙⡛⠻⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⡌⠉⠛⣛⣻⣛⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⡁⡉⢴⠮⢭⣷⡇ ⢀⠀⠀⠕⢛⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⢹⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⢈⡉⠉⠛⠛⠷⠶⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣄⠀⠀⢀⣠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣦⢹⠉⠇ ⠐⠁⠀⠄⣼⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠚⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⣿⠁⠀⠀⣄⡀⠡⢿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⢄⡀ ⠀⢀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣥⣀⡀⠀⠁⠀⣀⢀⠴⠆⡀⣤⣀⣲⠂⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣃⡤⣤⠶⣦⢤⡠⣄⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠿⢿⣳⢻⣟⡇ ⠀⠀⣠⢹⣿⠷⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠂⢽⣿⣿⣿⣶⣟⣿⢾⣧⠈⢃⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣯⣚⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡞⢛⣿⡻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⢻⣽⠃ ⢠⣾⣥⣾⠗⣴⣿⢲⣿⣿⣾⣿⣆⠈⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣾⣷⡴⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢷⣾⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠸⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⣿⣿⣴⣝⠃ ⢸⣿⣟⣰⣿⡿⣠⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢯⣿⣮⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠃⠀⢻⣿⣿⡯⡿⣿⡛⠛⠛⠹⠈⠀ ⠀⠀⠹⣧⣿⣟⣻⣧⣿⣿⡟⠛⠀⠀⠀⢤⠦⠀⢀⣈⠽⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⠛⠉⠀⠈⠈⠓⠀⢛⡘⡞⠛⠠⢰⣯⣄⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⠏⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠰⠂⠀⠀⠀⠎⠉⠱⡿⣿⣞⠿⢚⣭⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠋⠁⢠⣍⢑⣿⢐⡔⠘⠒⢧⠛⠃⠁⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠀⠀⠀ ⢶⠀⠀⠀⠁⠰⠀⢠⣦⠀⠀⠱⠀⠀⠀⠠⢿⡏⠈⠛⠻⠻⠷⢶⡿⠿⠯⠭⠿⠯⠿⠻⠿⠿⠿⠯⠭⠭⠽⠿⠿⠿⠿⠻⠛⠛⠭⠽⡭⠿⣿⣿⠿⠷⠧⠄⠀⠀⢋⠘⠓⠉⠉⠂⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 782 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/30/Free_and_Open_Source_Software_howtos_and_Installations.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/30/Free_and_Open_Source_Software_howtos_and_Installations.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software, howtos and Installations⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 30, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Embroidery⦈_ * ⚓ Embroiderly_-_cross-platform_desktop_application_for_designing_cross- stitch_patterns_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Embroiderly is a cross-platform desktop application designed for creating and editing cross-stitch patterns.

The application is designed for both learning and experimentation, offering continuous simulation updates as circuits are modified, along with support for custom components and reusable designs. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Developer_of_the_Week:_Arun_Prakash_Jana_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Arun Prakash Jana, better known on GitHub as jarun, represents a strain of open source development that feels increasingly rare: software built not to impress a venture-funded roadmap, but to remove friction from everyday computing. His GitHub profile describes his mission plainly: he writes terminal utilities, often with GUI integration, for efficient workflows, and says he created them to “minimize time at a computer.” That philosophy is visible across his body of work and explains why his projects have attracted a loyal following. His profile currently shows he has around 2.6k followers. His set of pinned projects are led by nnn, buku, ddgr, bcal, spy, and imgp. The centerpiece of his open source contribution is nnn, a terminal file manager. It is not presented as a nostalgic toy for command-line purists; it is described as a full-featured, unorthodox, nearly zero-config, very fast file manager designed to stay “out of your way.” Its feature set goes well beyond basic navigation: disk usage analysis, batch rename, application launching, file picking, plugin support, live previews, and a patch framework for user-submitted modifications. That combination matters because it shows Jana’s main contribution is not just writing code, but designing a complete workflow environment for people who live in the terminal. Luke wrote a review of nnn back in 2020 explaining why it’s an awesome piece of open source software. In our roundup of the finest graphical and console based file managers, nnn ranks as the finest open source console-based file manager. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⡦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⣉⡙⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⢋⣉⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠙⠛⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣌⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠉⠛⠛⠿⠿⠷⠶⠦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠉⠻⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡛⠋⠉⠉⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣼⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⢛⣛⣛⣿⣋⠉⠙⠷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣤⡀⠀ ⣶⣾⣿⣿⣶⠾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣋⣉⣙⣻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣟⣛⣛⣛⣛⣥⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣤⣄⣀⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⡤⠄⠀⠀⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠶⢶⣶⣶⣿⣿⡯⠙⠻⣿⣿⣷ ⣤⣤⣤⣤⣾⣷⣶⣶⣶⣾⣤⣬⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣬⣽⡻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠙⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⣩⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠷⠶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠛ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠈⠉⠉⣉⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠛⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⣋⣭⣿⣍⣉⣭⣭⣤⣤⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⠾⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣤⣀⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠈⠉⠉⢏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⣉⣠⣴⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣖⠛⠻⠿⢿⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣄⣈⣉⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣋⣩⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣶⡬⠍⠙⠛⠻⠿⠿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣀⣠⣶⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠉⠀⠀⠀⢀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣾⣿⣿⡿⠟⠉⣿⣿⠟⢛⣉⣉⣁⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⡛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠓⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠛⠛⠟⠛⣃⣠⣤⡤⡤⠤⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣤⣶⣶⡾⢿⣿⡿⠟⢋⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣥⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠉⣤⣤⣶⣶⡖⠁⠈⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣦⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠉⠉⢀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⡶⠶⠶⠟⠛⠛⠉⠭⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀ ⣴⣶⣶⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⠿⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠷⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⣶⣶⣶⣾⠿⠟⣋⣽⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⢀⣀⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣦⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⠄⠀⠀⠰⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠟⠛⠉⢀⣤⣴⠛⠻⠿⢿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠉⠁⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠻⠗⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣠⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠶⠾⠟⠛⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣍⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣥⣤⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠉⠉⠛⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠉⠀⠙⠛⠻⠿⠿⠟⠛⠉⠁⠀⠈⠉⠉⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1121 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/30/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Wikipedia_and_Standards.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/30/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Wikipedia_and_Standards.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software, Wikipedia, and Standards⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 30, 2026 * ⚓ Bozhidar Batsov ☛ Batppuccin:_My_Take_on_Catppuccin_for_Emacs⠀⇛ Batppuccin is my opinionated take on Catppuccin for Emacs. The name is a play on my last name (Batsov) + Catppuccin.2 I guess you can think of this as @bbatsov’s Catppuccin… or perhaps Batman’s Catppuccin? * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ The_Roles_of_Packages⠀⇛ Greg Wilson’s recent post An E-Bike for the Mind reminded me of Jorma Sajaniemi’s work on the roles of variables. Sajaniemi found that just eleven roles cover nearly all variables in novice programs: stepper, most-wanted holder, gatherer, one-way flag, and so on. As Wilson puts it, types tell you about a variable’s state at rest while roles tell you about its state in motion. Once you learn the roles, you can look at unfamiliar code and immediately recognize the shape of the algorithm from how data flows through it. Every package in a registry plays a particular role, whether it’s a library your application calls, a tool your build pipeline runs, a daemon your infrastructure depends on, or a firmware blob that makes your hardware work. This holds across all kinds of package managers, from npm and RubyGems to Homebrew, apt, Helm, Terraform Registry, and OpenVSX, and the role tells you more about how a package fits into a system than the name or the README. Two packages in completely different domains, managed by completely different tools, can behave identically because they play the same role. * ⚓ OpenSSH ☛ Call_for_testing:_openssh-10.3⠀⇛ OpenSSH 10.3 is almost ready for release, so we would appreciate testing on as many platforms and systems as possible. This is a bugfix release. * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ YottaDB ☛ r2.04_-_Our_Biggest_Release_Yet⠀⇛ Although it has been over a year since we released r2.02, we have not been idle. Unlike Santa’s elves, who must be ready in time for Christmas no matter what, r2.02 was such a robust release that we had the luxury of taking our time to get things into r2.04 that we wanted to. We couldn’t get everything in – in the software world, there is always something that has to be deferred – but we believe r2.04 was worth the wait. We originally intended r2.04 to focus on performance, and it does. We blogged about critical section performance in Critical Section Performance in r2.04. But performance took on a life of its own, and we did so much more. Every release adds functionality, and the major functionality added in r2.04 is the ability to convert between M and JSON. And, as with performance, there is so much more in the release than that. You can read the draft release notes and see the development details. With everything in it, r2.04 is our biggest release yet, reminiscent of the Antonov An-225 Mriya above, which at 253 metric tons had the largest carrying capacity of any aircraft ever built. * § Funding⠀➾ o ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ Cloud_Czars_Treat_Open_Source_Like_They_Do California⠀⇛ The cloud czars gorged on free software, starved the projects that sustain it, and are shocked the open source commons is starting to break. o ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ On_Our_Way_to_Independence:_We’re_$34_Away_from Our_March_Goal⠀⇛ Our Independence Drive is at 17% of its total goal. A final $34 this month will fully fund our mini-goal for March's coverage of GNU/Linux and open source. * § GNU Projects⠀➾ o ⚓ GNU ☛ parallel_@_Savannah:_GNU_Parallel_20260322_('این_آخرین نبرده،')_released_[stable]⠀⇛ GNU Parallel 20260322 ('این آخرین نبرده،') has been released.

It uses a content-addressed storage system, where each file is identified by a unique hash. When a file is added to the IPFS network, it is automatically distributed across nodes in the network, and users can retrieve the file from any node that has a copy. By design, IPFS is more resilient to censorship and network failures than traditional centralized file storage solutions. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Laser_Ranging_Makes_GPS_Satellites_More_Accurate⠀⇛ Although GNSS systems like GPS have made pin-pointing locations on Earth’s sphere-approximating surface significantly easier and more precise, it’s always possible to go a bit further. The latest innovation involves strapping laser retroreflector arrays (LRAs) to newly launched GPS satellites, enabling ground-based lasers to accurately determine the distance to these satellites. o ⚓ Herb Sutter ☛ C++26_is_done!_—_Trip_report:_March_2026_ISO_C++ standards_meeting_(London_Croydon,_UK)⠀⇛ On Saturday, the ISO C++ committee completed technical work on C++26 in (partly) sunny London Croydon, UK. We resolved the remaining international comments on the C++26 draft, and are now producing the final document to be sent out for its international approval ballot (Draft International Standard, or DIS) and final editorial work, to be published in the near future by ISO. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1315 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/30/Games_New_Steam_Games_and_Williams_Sinistar_Arcade_Documentary.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/30/Games_New_Steam_Games_and_Williams_Sinistar_Arcade_Documentary.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: New Steam Games and Williams Sinistar Arcade Documentary⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 30, 2026 * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ New_Steam_Games_Playable_on_the_Steam_Deck,_with_The Scourge_and_Bombun_-_2026-03-28_Edition⠀⇛ Between 2026-03-21 and 2026-03-28 we selected 8 newly released games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck, and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings. Two games to highlight this time, The Scourge, a spooky horror game set in Vietnam, and Bombun, an excellent retro 3D platformer with bombs! Here’s the whole list below. * ⚓ The Arcade Blogger ☛ Williams_Sinistar_Arcade_Documentary⠀⇛ I’ve been meaning to share this documentary on the blog for some time. I met its creator, Max, a couple of times while visiting the Freeplay Florida event a few years back. He mentioned that he was playing around with the original source code from the Williams arcade title Sinistar and hoping to add some features that were visible in the source code, but excluded from the game’s release. We chatted at length about what he was planning, and his passion for this project was nothing short of infectious.

For reference, during the same time, there were 635 games released for backdoored Windows on Steam, so the GNU/Linux versions represent about 12.3 % of total released titles. Not a lot of gems this time, except maybe Lost Wiki: Kozlovka that lets you explore a fictional wiki to unveil a mystery in Eastern Europe! Here’s a quick pick of all of games worth considering this week. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1379 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/30/Get_the_best_of_LibreOffice_Calc_with_the_Calc_Guide_26_2.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/30/Get_the_best_of_LibreOffice_Calc_with_the_Calc_Guide_26_2.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Get the best of LibreOffice Calc with the Calc Guide 26.2⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 30, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Calc_Guide⦈_ Quoting: Get the best of LibreOffice Calc with the Calc Guide 26.2 - TDF Community Blog — The LibreOffice documentation team is proud to announce the immediate availability of the Calc Guide 26.2.

has not yet reached the stable software repositories of popular rolling-release distributions like openSUSE Tumbleweed or Arch Linux, the GNOME devs have started work on the GNOME 51 release. Of course, it’s too early to discuss the new features or any major changes coming to GNOME 51, and honestly, I don’t even expect any major enhancements except for probably some more Wayland improvements since GNOME has now gone Wayland-only with the GNOME 50 release onwards.

One scanned, one read PDFs, and the last annotated PDFs. I didn't complain because it worked. But switching to GNOME Document Scanner has made me realize that I've been overcomplicating things for years. It included many features I actually needed.

It's not like anything in here looks particularly alarming, but the fact that the rc's this release has been pretty consistently bigger than normal doesn't exactly give me the warm and fuzzies. And it's not because the merge window was particularly big: rc1 was in fact pretty average in number of commits. It's just the rc's that have more small fixes than is the norm. This time around, filesystems kind of stand out, with a noticeable portion of the diffstat being various filesystem or vfs fixes (ext4 and xfs leading the pack, but it's really pretty widespread). There are obviously the usual driver fixes too: gpu, rdma, networking, sound, hwmon etc, but in the diff, drivers are "only" a third of the changes. In addition to the filesystem side, we've got core networking, architecture updates, and the rest being a random mix (rcu fixes, tooling, mm, you name it). At the same time, while we have noticeably many more fixes than usual, most of it is very small and none of it strikes me as being very scary. A lot of pretty trivial - but real - fixes. I wonder if some of it is just AI tools being better - and we've hit some "bump" related to that. Anyway, exactly because it's just "more than usual" rather than feeling *worse* than usual, I don't currently feel this merits extending the release, and I still hope that next weekend will be the last rc. But it's just a bit unnerving how this release doesn't want to calm down, so no promises.

Over the past week, I’ve worked extensively to bring the program into full compliance with the revised standards. These changes are included in pmagic_2026_03_20_5.iso. If you’ve already purchased the 2026_03_20 release, simply log into your account to download the updated image at no additional cost. Over time, Parted Magic had accumulated a number of programs that most users never touched. This bloat had real consequences — the default boot mode, which loads the entire image into RAM, required 16GB to run reliably and made PXE deployment impractical for many environments. That’s been addressed. Unused and redundant packages have been removed, and the compression scheme has been switched from xz to zstd with optimized caching. The result is dramatic: Parted Magic now boots comfortably in the default mode on machines with just 8GB of RAM, and the time from the GRUB menu to a fully loaded desktop is at least 10x faster. I’d welcome more feedback on the new tools in this release. VisParted, for example, represents a ground-up effort to combine the best capabilities of GParted, KDE Partition Manager, and Blivet-GUI into a single, unified partition manager — along with features that no existing partition manager offers. It’s one of the most capable tools of its kind available today. Community testing has already proven valuable — one forum member identified Samba mounting issues in the Parted Magic Clonezilla frontend, which have since been addressed. However, the new Erase program has received very little attention so far. If you’re using any of these tools, your feedback directly shapes development. Bug reports, workflow observations, and even confirmation that things are working as expected all help move the project forward. * ⚓ ExLight_64bit_UEFI,_Build_260322,_based_on_Debian_“Trixie”_(Debian 13.4)_with_Enlightenment_0.27.1_(stable)_as_DE,_Refracta_Snapshot_and Calamares_Installer⠀⇛ I’ve made a new version of ExLight with the Enlightenment 0.27.1 Desktop environment, Refracta Snapshot (create your own Debian Trixie System) and Calamares 3.3.14-1 Installer Framework. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2072 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/30/OpenBosniana_OS_Debian_based_Linux_distribution.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/30/OpenBosniana_OS_Debian_based_Linux_distribution.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ OpenBosniana OS – Debian-based Linux distribution⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 30, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇OpenBosniana_OS⦈_ Quoting: OpenBosniana OS - Debian-based Linux distribution - LinuxLinks — OpenBosniana OS is an operating system for desktop and laptop computers.

As its name implies, the hardware is based on the ESP32-S3 WiFi and Bluetooth SoC, connected to a 1.54-inch 240×240 color display and a speaker that delivers better-than-expected audio quality, according to Volos Projects. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ PineTime_Pro_smartwatch_to_feature_dual-core_Cortex-M33 MCU,_2.13-inch_AMOLED,_GPS,_and_more⠀⇛ Pine64 has announced progress on the PineTime Pro smartwatch, powered by a dual-core Cortex-M33 microcontroller with Bluetooth 5.2 Classic and LE and 800KB SRAM. The watch also features a 2.13-inch AMOLED display, GPS support, a heart rate monitor, and a 6-axis motion sensor. It’s an upgrade to the PineTime project unveiled in September 2019, and one of the most popular Pine64 devices thanks to open-source software projects such as InfiniTime firmware. For reference, the PineTime ships with a Nordic nRF52 Arm Cortex-M4 Bluetooth MCU with 64 KB SRAM, a 1.3-inch display, and basic HRM and accelerometer. The PineTime Pro is a massive upgrade that should support a wider range of firmware. * ⚓ Pine64 ☛ Introduction_to_the_PineTime_Pro⠀⇛ Compared to the “OG” PineTime, the PineTime Pro brings a significant hardware upgrade. At its core is a dual-core Cortex-M33 SoC, with one application core running at up to 200 MHz and a dedicated Bluetooth core. It also comes with 800 KB of internal SRAM and 8 MB of PSRAM.

While the Rockwell AIM 65 is a great machine, it has no disk drive and no filesystem. Programs can be written in assembler or BASIC (which had ROM support) but getting them into running memory where they could execute is not as simple as it is on modern machines. One can type a program in by hand, but no one wants to do that twice. Fortunately the AIM 65 had a tape interface (two, actually) and could read and store data in an audio-encoded format. Rather than typing a program by hand, one could play an audio tape instead. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Multicolor_5-Axis_3D_Printing⠀⇛ The print bed rests on three ball joints, two on one side and one in the center of the opposite side. Each joint can be raised and lowered on an independent rail, which allows the bed to be tilted on two axes. The dimensions of the extruders’ motion system limit how much the bed can be angled when the extruder is close to the bed, but it can reach sharp angles further out. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Clean_Enclosures,_No_Printing_Necessary⠀⇛ Unless you’re into circuit sculptures, generally speaking, a working circuit isn’t the end-point of a lot of electronics projects. To protect your new creation from grabby hands, curious paws, and the ravages of nature, you’ll probably want some kind of enclosure. These days a lot of us would probably run it off on the 3D printer, but some people would rather stay electronics hobbiests without getting into the 3D printing hobby.

From single-board computers like the ROCKPro64 and the RISC-V powered STAR64 to Linux smartphones like the PinePhone, the company has been pretty consistent. One of their offerings is the PineTime, which is a compact, inexpensive open source smartwatch that has been around since 2019. It started as a community side project, inspired partly by the simplicity of the old Pebble, and is priced at around $26.99. Years later, PINE64 has revealed what comes next. Announced at FOSDEM 2026 and detailed in a new blog post, the PineTime Pro is the open source smartwatch's next step up. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2303 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/30/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/30/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 30, 2026 * ⚓ Blain Smith ☛ Vendoring_Modules_in_Hare⠀⇛ Hare doesn't have a package manager.

What is sensitivity analysis in this context? It’s about evaluating the impact of changes in the external regressors on the time-series forecast. The post uses the ahead::dynrmf_sensi function to compute the sensitivities, and the ahead::plot_dynrmf_sensitivity function to plot the results. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Kenneth Reitz ☛ NumPy_as_Synth_Engine⠀⇛ There are zero audio files in PyTheory. Zero samples. Zero recordings. Zero WAVs, MP3s, OGGs, or any other format you could name. Not one byte of pre-recorded sound exists anywhere in the repository. Every sound you hear — every plucked guitar string, every tabla stroke, every djembe slap, every organ chord — is computed at runtime. From math. Sine waves, noise generators, filters, and envelopes, all the way down. NumPy arrays are the synth engine. And somehow, the results sound... real? I still can't quite believe this works. I'm going to walk you through it, not as an expert in DSP (I am definitely not that), but as someone who kept adding features to a music theory library and accidentally ended up building physical models of goatskin membranes in Python. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ A_Fast_Immutable_Map_in_Go⠀⇛ Consider the following problem. You have a large set of strings, maybe millions. You need to map these strings to 8-byte integers (uint64). These integers are given to you. If you are working in Go, the standard solution is to create a map.

Use Linux, BSD. — About a month ago we shared that there is an effort underway to bring jails, a popular isolation technology used by FreeBSD, to the NetBSD operating system. This Jails for NetBSD project is not yet an official part of NetBSD, but the implementation of jails has reached a point where it can be run and tested. A jail, for people who have not had a chance to use one, is an isolated section of the filesystem which acts like a lightweight virtual machine. The jail is like it's own, self-contained operating system which has its own copies of programs, configuration files, and user accounts. Any processes or services run inside the jail cannot see or interact with the host operating system. A jail shares the kernel of the host operating system, making it lighter than a virtual machine, while offering most of the same benefits of running processes in an isolated space. A jail on FreeBSD or NetBSD is somewhat similar to running a container on Linux. A jail offers similar benefits in terms of security and portability, allowing programs and operating environments to be ported between host machines. I had some time this week and, as a fan of FreeBSD jails, wanted to try out the new Jails for NetBSD tools. The Jails for NetBSD project offers ISO files which are based on NetBSD 11 and include the new jail utilities, saving us from manually installing the technology. I downloaded the 621MB ISO file for x86_64 machines and set out to explore jails on NetBSD.

There’s also openSUSE Tumbleweed, Manjaro, Gentoo, Kali Linux, Solus, and Void Linux. Those distributions are either Arch-based or independent. You might also be surprised that there are Debian-based rolling release distributions. That’s right, the “Mother of all distributions” has inspired a few itself, which is a bit counter to the ethos of a distribution that prides itself on rigorous testing and a slower release cycle. And yet, there are Debian-based rolling release distributions, such as Sparky Linux.

feature makes Windows look embarrassing for developers — For years, we have watched Microsoft pour enormous resources into the Windows Subsystem for Linux. It was positioned as the great equalizer, the bridge that would finally make Windows a first-class citizen for those of us who have long preferred Linux. WSL is undeniably impressive. Having a Linux kernel running alongside Windows with this level of integration is a feat of engineering. Yet, there is a feature so fundamental to Linux, so deeply woven into its architecture, that even the most sophisticated virtualization layers cannot replicate its elegance. It is not a flashy UI or a trendy framework but native, granular, and transparent control over process resources through cgroups, exposed via a simple filesystem interface. This capability is the foundation of modern containerization, and it represents a level of systemic transparency that makes the Windows approach to resource management look not just different, but genuinely embarrassing by comparison.

Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_WPS_Office_on_Fedora_Linux⠀⇛ DOCX-heavy work gets awkward fast when Fedora lacks the same office suite your teammates use elsewhere. That makes it practical to install WPS Office on Fedora when you want one GNU/Linux desktop app for Word documents, spreadsheets, slide decks, and PDFs instead of juggling format compatibility tool by tool. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Celluloid_Video_Player_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Debian 13 “Trixie,” released on August 9, 2025, ships as a lean, stable system without a fully capable multimedia player pre-installed. If you want a modern, powerful video player that feels right at home on a GNOME 48 desktop, Celluloid Video Player is one of the best choices available. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OpenTofu_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Infrastructure as code has revolutionized how teams manage cloud environments and on-premises infrastructure. OpenTofu emerges as a game-changing infrastructure automation tool that provides organizations with complete control over their deployments. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_JupyterHub_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ If you manage a data science team, run a research lab, or teach a coding class, you know the pain of setting up Jupyter notebooks for every single user on a shared server. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_PipeWire_on_openSUSE⠀⇛ If you are running openSUSE and dealing with crackling Bluetooth audio, high latency, or random PulseAudio crashes, you already know the frustration. The good news is that PipeWire solves all of those problems in one clean installation. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_KTorrent_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ If you need a reliable, full-featured BitTorrent client on Debian 13 Trixie, KTorrent is one of the strongest choices available. It sits natively inside the KDE ecosystem, supports plugin extensions, handles encrypted connections, and stays remarkably light on system resources compared to other GUI clients. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3299 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/30/today_s_howtos.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/30/today_s_howtos.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 30, 2026 * ⚓ Make Tech Easier ☛ 2026-03-23_[Older]_The_Easiest_Way_to_Manage Dotfiles_Using_GNU_Stow⠀⇛ * ⚓ Make Tech Easier ☛ 2026-03-17_[Older]_How_to_Manage_Users_from_the Command_Line_in_Linux⠀⇛ * ⚓ DomainTools ☛ NMSG_and_JSON_encoding⠀⇛ This article introduces njt (amalgamation of NMSG+JSON+tool), a newconvenience tool used for working with base:encode(JSON) NMSGs at thecommand line. With this tool, the user has a previously unavailablecommand-line interface to serialize arbitrary JSON as NMSGbase:encode(JSON) protocol data units (PDUs) or de-serializebase:encode(JSON) NMSG PDUs to JSON. To get the most from this article, it is recommended that you be comfortablewith the material from the following Farsight Security Blog articles: [...] * ⚓ Dan Langille ☛ Creating_a_FreeBSD_virtual_machine_using_bhyve-vm⠀⇛ I had a need for FreeBSD-16.0-CURRENT. I’m already using sysutils/vm-bhyve (Management system for bhyve virtual machines, relevant blog post). These steps really are very short notes. * ⚓ Amit Patel ☛ Optimizing_page_size⠀⇛ My XSLT template and CSS styling are global. They apply to the more than 30 years of pages I’ve written. That means whenever I change the XSLT or CSS, I need to make sure the change works for the entire site, over 800 articles. Until now I’ve been doing that manually by spot checking the popular articles. While working on my SDF font guide, I noticed an issue with the white space. There were some spaces missing. It’s easy to work around, so I did — I added   in a few places. This has been a problem for a while and I just work around it each time. After I finished the project, I decided to dig into the root cause. * ⚓ [Old] Anya Shanahan ☛ sshd_9.8_PerSourcePenalties⠀⇛ How it works: Every time you hit one of the events, your IP is penalized by the quantity of seconds presented for the option in question, so for example there is an option authfail. Every time you fail to authenticate, your IP is applied with that number of seconds as a penalty. When that amount of penalty time exceeds min, then you have the penalty applied to your IP address. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3387 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/30/Ubuntu_MATE_s_founder_is_stepping_back_after_12_years_and_Linux.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/30/Ubuntu_MATE_s_founder_is_stepping_back_after_12_years_and_Linux.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu MATE’s founder is stepping back after 12 years and LinuxConfig covers APT in Ubuntu⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 30, 2026, updated Mar 30, 2026 * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_MATE’s_founder_is_stepping_back_after_12_years⠀⇛ Ubuntu MATE is looking for a new maintainer, with current project lead Martin Wimpress revealing he no longer has the ‘passion’ for the project he once had – nor the time, it seems. Wimpress created Ubuntu MATE back in 2014, pairing Ubuntu with the traditional MATE desktop, created as a fork of the old GNOME 2 codebase but now very much its own thing. * ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ What_Is_New_in_APT_3.1_on_Ubuntu_26.04⠀⇛ * ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ Complete_APT_Package_Management_Guide_for_Ubuntu_26.04⠀⇛ FOSS Force: * ⚓ Martin_Wimpress_Wants_Out_at_Ubuntu_MATE_-_FOSS_Force⠀⇛ After about a dozen years at the helm of the Linux distribution he started, Martin Wimpress says it’s time for somebody else to take charge at Ubuntu MATE. He started the distro in October 2014. About three years previously, in April 2011, GNOME 3 had been released, which had been disliked by a large number of GNOME users. About two months after that, Argentine developer Germán Perugorría forked GNOME 2 to create MATE, which quickly became quite popular. After that, Wimpress created Ubuntu MATE, which eventually became an official Ubuntu flavor. Neowin: * ⚓ Ubuntu_MATE_lead_Martin_Wimpress_steps_down_and_seeks_a_successor_after 12_years_-_Neowin⠀⇛ The maintainer of Ubuntu MATE, Martin Wimpress, has started the search for new people to maintain the project after 12 years. Wimpress, whom you may remember from the Ubuntu Podcast several years ago, has said he now lacks time to work on Ubuntu MATE, and even if he did have the time, he no longer has the passion for the project that he had when he began the work. For those that don’t know, Canonical maintains its standard version of Ubuntu, and then community members maintain spins, essentially working for free. Some of these spins are more official than others, with Ubuntu MATE becoming an official flavor in 2015. In 2016, it released its first long-term support release. When Canonical shifted to the Unity Desktop away from GNOME 2, many people were not happy. Ubuntu MATE was born out of this desire to be able to continue using GNOME 2 technologies and continue their development. Obviously, computer hardware has come a very long way in the last 12 years, making modern iterations of GNOME easy to run. GNOME has also become much more usable compared to the early days of GNOME 3, and there are distributions like Linux Mint MATE that offer users a solid choice of operating systems ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3477 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/30/Ubuntu_was_my_first_distro_here_s_why_we_went_our_separate_ways.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/30/Ubuntu_was_my_first_distro_here_s_why_we_went_our_separate_ways.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu was my first distro—here's why we went our separate ways⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 30, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Xubuntu⦈_ Quoting: Ubuntu was my first distro—here's why we went our separate ways — I was along for the ride in the development of the Ubuntu Netbook Remix, which I ran on a netbook while at college. This would eventually grow into the Unity desktop interface that would come to define Ubuntu. My opinion shifted a bit with 10.04 Lucid Lynx. This was my first time watching the release of an Ubuntu LTS, and I didn't like the cosmetic changes. I wasn't a fan of the new purple and orange color scheme. I didn't dig the app theme that placed a divider awkwardly between the application menu and the rest of the app window. I didn't like the movement of the window buttons to the left. I remained discouraged when the look was refined but largely the same in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat.

Recently Apple correspondingly dropped support for it in MacOS 26, and Linux will follow in 2029. The bright side of this when you’re someone like [Jeff Geerling] is that this means three more years of Linux support for one’s FireWire gear, including on the Raspberry Pi with prosumer gear from 1999. If you’re not concerned about running the latest and greatest – and supported – software, then using an old or modern Mac or PC is of course an option, but with Linux support still available [Jeff] really wanted to get it working on Linux. Particularly on a Raspberry Pi in order to stay on brand. Adding a FireWire port to a Raspberry Pi SBC is easy enough with an RPi 5 board as you can put a Mini PCIe HAT on it into which you slot a mini PCIe to Firewire adapter. At this point lspci shows the new device, but to use it you need to recompile the Linux kernel with Firewire support. On the Raspberry Pi you then also need to enable it in the device tree overlay, as shown in the article.
