Maybe they're_the smart_ones. Our national broadcaster says_that "every engine firing so far – from the early orbit‑raising burns to tonight’s big push for the Moon – has run on time and to plan, giving NASA growing confidence in the spacecraft’s European‑built propulsion system." That's a good start for the month of April.

hardware requirements than Windows 11 - Neowin — Despite putting some blame on user error, Microsoft is aware that Windows 11 has issues which is why it promised some big improvements soon. If you have no more patience, 'switching to Linux' is an option and Ubuntu, from Canonical, is a very popular distro that's worth checking out. Back in 2023, going Ubuntu was definitely profitable from a performance standpoint as we saw that the Linux OS was often beating out Windows 11. Microsoft, of course, is promising better things on the upcoming version 26H2, so it will be interesting to see how Ubuntu Desktop's contemporary 26.04 LTS (Longer Term Support) version called "Resolute Raccoon" will stack up. Speaking of which, Canonical has announced the system requirements for the upcoming Ubuntu 26.04 LTS version that lands later this month, and there has been a sharp bump to the hardware requirements. The official support documentation says: "Ubuntu Desktop 26.04 LTS requires a 2 GHz dual-core processor or better, a minimum of 6GB RAM and 25 GB of free hard drive space."

However, it looks like WordPress in every public-facing way. This has been pitched as a spiritual successor to WordPress, and one might wonder why Cloudflare would be interested in such an endeavor. To me, it’s very simple: Essentially, it could potentially help the company save costs by putting very complex sites on static ground. I’ve written in the past about how PHP remains a surprisingly good option for content management systems because it’s mature. But the flipside of that is that PHP is also quite slow, and comes with a ton of additional security risks that more modern systems have built for with a proactive posture, rather than a reactive one. * ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Clownflare_debuts_EmDash_to_challenge_aging_WordPress with_AI-native_CMS⠀⇛ Twenty-four years ago, two young coders launched a fork of the b2/cafelog log code called WordPress, a content management system for the then-emerging blogging world that over two decades later has grown into the most-used CMS on the planet. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Cloudflare_previews_AI_rebuild_of_Wordpress_in TypeScript⠀⇛ In contrast to the one week claimed for recreating Next.js using agentic AI, Cloudflare's product manager Matt Taylor and software engineer Matt Kane said that it took all of two months to create EmDash. Further, the code for EmDash is based on Astro, an open source JavaScript framework acquired by Cloudflare in January this year, so is not altogether newly generated by AI. Technically EmDash is an Astro integration. * ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Cloudflare_announces_secure,_open-source,_WordPress- compatible_CMS_-_EmDash⠀⇛ The company today announced that it's making an open source content management system, named EmDash, designed to be totally compatible with WordPress plug-ins and themes, but yet with security built-in from the start. WordPress is highly popular, and in fact it's estimated it powers more than 40% of websites around the world. The trouble is, this popularity makes WordPress a massive target and as network and system admins globally will testify, you have to keep way on top of your WordPress installations and patches and updates or you'll find yourself smothered in blogspam and exploits. * ⚓ Jack Baty ☛ Eleventy⠀⇛ Rather than fix what was broken, I completely revamped site using Eleventy. I've made passes at it like this before, but this time I started from scratch and, with a bit of robot help, made it about as simple as I could. * ⚓ James G ☛ Using_my_edit_button_shortcut⠀⇛ Since then, I have been using the Command + Shift + E shortcut almost daily to edit pages on my website. I like that the shortcut has a similar hand position to refreshing, a shortcut that I find relatively comfortable to use. I also like that the shortcut only requires use of my left hand, so that I can press the edit button while using my mouse to navigate to my next task. * ⚓ Bryce Wray ☛ Hugo’s_new_CSS_powers⠀⇛ As I mentioned in my previous post, I was intrigued when the release of Hugo v.0.158.0 introduced its css.Build function. The new powers that resulted are worth a look when you consider all the aspects of styling a site you’ve built, or plan to build, on Hugo. Still, the enhancements have certain limitations of which you’ll also want to be aware. When forming the styling structure for a Hugo-based website, you have a variety of options. CSS itself has gained many additional features over the years, and browsers have improved to handle them. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 492 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/03/Databases_Postgres_and_SQLAlchemy_2.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/03/Databases_Postgres_and_SQLAlchemy_2.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Databases: Postgres and SQLAlchemy 2⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 03, 2026 * ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ CloudNativePG_1.29.0_Released!⠀⇛ The CloudNativePG Community is excited to announce the immediate availability of CloudNativePG 1.29.0! This minor release introduces a paradigm shift in how PostgreSQL extensions are managed on Kubernetes and brings powerful new capabilities for enterprise identity and network security, further establishing CloudNativePG as the standard for cloud-native PostgreSQL. * ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ pgAdmin_4_v9.14_Released⠀⇛ The pgAdmin Development Team is pleased to announce the release of pgAdmin 4 version 9.14. This release of pgAdmin 4 includes 23 bug fixes and new features. For more details, please see the release_notes. * ⚓ Greptime Inc ☛ How_We_Built_Postgres_Compatibility_in_Rust:_pgwire_and DataFusion⠀⇛ GreptimeDB has been adapting the Postgres protocol since its early versions. In 2025, with the acquisitions of Neon and CrunchyData, PostgreSQL has once again become a hot topic. Beyond the development of PostgreSQL itself, there are two paths within its ecosystem that bring in a larger world: what I call the "bottom-up" extension approach and the "top-down" protocol compatibility approach. Taking the combination with the Rust ecosystem as an example, the bottom-up approach primarily uses pgrx to introduce various Rust ecosystem libraries into PostgreSQL, represented by projects like ParadeDB. The top-down approach simulates its protocol and interfaces to build various "Postgres-like" databases.

The latest_statistics_from_Valve_are_incredible (Steam Survey) and serve to affirm major progress for GNU/Linux. Arch Linux is the most used OS (or distro) and Apple's MacOS has a share less than half of all distros combined.

Fedora_Community_Blog:_Fedora_Code_of_Conduct_Report 2024⠀⇛ The Fedora Project’s Code of Conduct and its reports are managed by the Fedora Code of Conduct Committee, the Fedora Community_Architect, and the Fedora_Project_Leader. We publish this summary to demonstrate our commitment to community safety and our project’s social fabric. This post covers the year of reports received in the 2024 calendar year. The 2023 and 2024 annual report posts are published with delays due to changes in membership in the Code of Conduct Committee and rebalancing existing work. The purpose of publishing the reports now is to provide transparency, insight, and awareness into the health signs of the community. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Take_your_automation_to_the_next_level_with_Ansible Content_Collections_for_Windows,_Splunk,_AIOps,_MCP,_and_more [Ed: Selling Windows and Microsoft]⠀⇛ * ⚓ Michel Alexandre Salim ☛ Sandogasa,_now_for_EPEL_and_CentOS_SIG workflows_too! [Ed: Slop or slopware going to CentOS]⠀⇛ * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_plan_your_RHEL_lifecycle_with_AI [Ed: IBM Red Hat trying to impose mindless and harmful slop on Red Hat users]⠀⇛ Managing the lifecycle of an enterprise GNU/Linux fleet has traditionally been a game of spreadsheets, calendar alerts, and manual cross-referencing. You have to track which systems are nearing end of life (EOL), which ones qualify for extended update support (EUS), and how recent major releases like Red Hat_Enterprise_Linux (RHEL) 10 will impact your specific package stack. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Run_Gemma_4_with_Red_Bait_Hey_Hi_(AI)_on_Day_0:_A_step-by- step_guide [Ed: Nothing but slop promotion coming out of IBM Red Hat these days]⠀⇛ * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Running_LLMs_dynamically,_in_production,_on_limited resources,_is_hard._We_think_there’s_room_for_another_approach… [Ed: Slop, chatbots, plagiarism and misinformation peddled by IBM Red Hat]⠀⇛ The promise of large language models (LLMs) is clear. From code generation to customer support, from document analysis to creative workflows, organizations everywhere are racing to integrate LLMs into their products and operations. The enterprise LLM market is projected to grow from $6 billion in 2025 to over $50 billion by 2035. But behind the excitement lies a practical challenge—serving LLMs in production can be expensive, inefficient, and operationally complex. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_and_NVIDIA:_Setting_standards_for_high- performance_AI_inference [Ed: Boosting Ponzi schemes at IBM]⠀⇛ * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Enabling_long-term_stability:_Introducing_Red_Hat Enterprise_Linux_Extended_Life_Cycle,_Premium⠀⇛ This premium offering builds upon the solid foundation of the RHEL Premium subscription, extending maintenance beyond the traditional ten year timeline. It is an indispensable solution for highly regulated industries such as financial services, telecommunications, government, healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and energy, where operational consistency and strict regulatory alignment are paramount. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Automating_the_modern_network:_A_Q1_network automation_recap⠀⇛ The momentum we've seen this past quarter highlights that Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is the standard trusted execution layer for this transformation. Organizations are moving away from isolated team structures and high-risk manual changes, and instead embracing a unified Infrastructure as Code strategy to ensure that the network is an accelerator for the business and not a bottleneck. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Red_Hat_build_of_Perses_with_the_cluster_observability operator⠀⇛ * ⚓ Supercomputing_in_Sync⠀⇛ Fittingly, this early OS was called the clustered high availability operating system, or CHAOS. The development team did not need to start from scratch. Linux-based OSes—also known as distributions—had emerged in the HPC industry, and Livermore began working with Red Hat, a company offering enterprise-level Linux distributions to HPC centers. “CHAOS was built on top of the Red Hat distribution because we had hardware components and other needs that Red Hat didn’t yet support,” recalls Trent D’Hooge, Livermore Computing’s (LC’s) deputy division leader for operations. For example, commercial Linux distributions had not yet incorporated resource management software, which automatically allocates processors, memory, and storage for HPC workloads. CHAOS filled this gap with the Laboratory-developed Slurm (simple Linux utility for resource management) software. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_and_Google_Cloud_Expand_Collaboration_to Accelerate_Application_Modernization_and_Cloud_Migration_with_Red_Hat OpenShift⠀⇛ Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced an expanded collaboration with Google Cloud to help organizations accelerate application modernization and cloud migrations. This expansion introduces Red Hat OpenShift in the Google Cloud console, deeper integrations with Google Cloud services and marks the general availability of Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_Enhances_Enterprise_Stability_with_Red_Hat Enterprise_Linux_Extended_Life_Cycle,_Premium⠀⇛ Red Hat, the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, today announced Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extended Life Cycle, Premium, a new subscription providing a predictable 14-year life cycle for major Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases. The stand-alone subscription consolidates extended support, simplifying the complexity of managing multiple support streams. This helps organizations more effectively maintain their most sensitive, change-averse workloads on a single, hardened foundation for more than a decade. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 828 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/03/Final_Release_of_OpenSSH_10_3.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/03/Final_Release_of_OpenSSH_10_3.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Final Release of OpenSSH 10.3⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 03, 2026 * ⚓ OpenSSH ☛ [openssh-unix-announce]_Announce:_OpenSSH_10.3_released⠀⇛ OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol 2.0 implementation and includes sftp client and server support.

But what do researchers themselves actually think about it? As part of the Strengthening Diamond Open Access in the Netherlands program, we found that while many researchers welcome the principle of Diamond OA, awareness remains uneven and actual publishing choices continue to be shaped by career incentives, reputation, and visibility rather than a deliberate commitment to community-owned infrastructures or long-term sustainability. This misalignment highlights the need for stronger institutional recognition of Diamond venues, clearer guidance for researchers, and incentives that meaningfully reward publishing in scholar-led, non-APC venues. Placing the findings into the context of what is sometimes called the ‘monograph crisis’ allows us to ask a sharper question: Can Diamond OA serve as a genuine lifeline for the scholarly monograph? ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1311 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/03/Games_Steam_Survey_INDIE_PASS_Death_Stranding_2_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/03/Games_Steam_Survey_INDIE_PASS_Death_Stranding_2_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Steam Survey, INDIE PASS, Death Stranding 2, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 03, 2026 * ⚓ PC World ☛ Linux_users_surge_on_Steam,_doubling_in_a_year⠀⇛ Slowly but surely, Linux is gaining a foothold in PC gaming.

Our crack team has been working hard to port Gentoo to the Hurd and can now share that they’ve succeeded, though it remains still in a heavily experimental stage. You can try Gentoo GNU/Hurd using a pre-prepared disk image. The easiest way to do this is with QEMU...

Hurd, if you don’t know, is the operating system kernel that GNU folks have been working on since 1990, or since before Linux was a gleam in Linus’s eye. When it goes mainstream, somebody will probably insist that it be called GNU/Hurd. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠒⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⡀⢐ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠋⠉⣶⣶⣿⣷ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠤⠀⠠⠤⠤⠯⠥⠼⡿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⢿⡿⢿⠿⡿⡿⡿⠿⣿⣿⡿⣿⠿⡿⡿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⡉ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣽⣯⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⠿⠿⣿⡿⢿⡻⢿⣿⢿⢿⡿⡥⡿⡿⣸⠿⡿⣿⡻⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⣿⣿⢟⣊⣃⠶⡔⡪⣠⣲⣴⠘⣄⣹⣿⠟⢫⢿⣻⣯⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣛⣿⣿⣚⣛⣋⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⡿⣿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣼⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣔⣏⣿⣫⣫⣮⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣻⣻⡿⣿⢟⣶⣿⡿⢛⢟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣯⣯⣿⣯⣯⣯⣯⣯⣿⣵⣵⣭⣯⣮⢶⣞⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢠⣿⡏ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⢿⣽⣿⣿⡫⡍⡿⣍⡽⢫⣫⢉⣩⣩⣉⣛⡹⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣽⣾⣷⣽⣾⣿⣿⣬⣯⣾⣯⣥⣽⣤⣤⣼⣯⣭⣯⣭⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣻⣿⡽⢯⢦⣮⣕⣮⢏⣯⣗⡾⣖⡒⣛⣿⢿⡟⣿⣾⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⢸⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⡿⣿⣿⢿⣷⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⡿⢿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⣹⠁⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⠁ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣒⣾⡯⣝⢭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⢰ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⣛⣾⣛⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠙⠍⠛⠛⠛⠛⣛⣻⣷⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⣿⡿⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⡇⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣷⣶⣶⣲⣷⣷⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣾ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣄⣠⢜⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣸⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠍⠍⠩⡩⠍⠭⠭⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡷⣿⣿⣾⣧⢙⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠢⠀⠽⠷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⠀⣤⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⢴⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⣭⣽⣿⣯⣍⡀⠠⠀⠠⠤⣤⡤⠈⠁⠉⢹ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡔⣿⣷⢠⣠⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⣿⣯⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠦⣤⣤⣬⣵⣦⣾⣦⣷⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣷⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⠉⠙⠋⠉⡉⠙⠛⠛⡉⠹⠻⠋⡉⠹⠿⠉⡉⠙⣛⡋⣉⠙⣛⣋⣉⠙⣿⣻⣉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣷ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⢀⠀⠀⠁⠀⡀⢐⣟⣀⣀⢀⣃⣀⣀⢀⣛⣀⣀⠀⢘⣚⣉⡀⢸⣋⣉⡀⢹⣟⣛⣀⢻⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡃⠀⠀⠀⢀⠠⠀⠀⠀⣂⠄⠀⠀⢐⡀⠀⠀⠀⢐⠀⠀⠀⠀⣂⠉⠉⠀⠘⠿⠿⠿⠮⠿⠍⠉⠌⢿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⢠⠇⢀⡀⠠⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡄⠀⠀⠀⢀⡄⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⡂⠀⠐⠀⠒⣂⠀⠒⠒⢒⡀⠐⠲⠒⢶⠀⠶⠶⠶⣦⠠⠶⠶⠶⡶⠶⠶⠶⠾⠌⢿⣿ ⠀⠀⢠⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠁⠁⢀⡀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⡄⠀⢀⠀⢸⡆⠀⣡⠀⢳⡄⠀⠀⠀⣐⡘⣿ ⠀⢀⡟⠀⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀⠠⠖⠀⠀⠀⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠈⠨⣍⠁⠈⠉⢩⣉⠁⠨⠉⠩⠉⠁⠨⠉⠹⠉⠁⠩⠉⢩⣭⢥⣽⡝⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠘ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1482 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/03/Gentoo_Prank_and_Gentoo_Big_Forum_Upgrade.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/03/Gentoo_Prank_and_Gentoo_Big_Forum_Upgrade.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Gentoo Prank and Gentoo Big Forum Upgrade⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 03, 2026 * ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ Must_Be_April_Fools’_Day._Gentoo_Says_It’s_Moving_to Hurd⠀⇛ Gentoo has a Hurd port you can boot today, plus a straight- faced promise to ditch GNU/Linux by year’s end.

This was a quite traditional split, but it had some less than ideal aspects, and as of FreeBSD 15 you can choose to manage FreeBSD through pkg using what is called freebsd-base (which is also known as 'pkgbase'). If you're installing FreeBSD 15 from scratch, the installer will let you choose (and I believe it recommends the pkg based approach). If you upgrade from FreeBSD 14 to FreeBSD 15, there's a post-upgrade conversion process using pkgbasify (also, also). o § Arch Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ Distribution_Release:_Artix_Linux_20260402⠀⇛ The Artix development team has announced the release of a new version of Artix Linux, a set of Arch-based, rolling-release distributions with a choice of four init systems (Dinit, OpenRC, runit and s6) and six desktops (Cinnamon, KDE Plasma, LXDE, LXQt, MATE and Xfce).

Linux Mint Is Simply Better in 7 Big Ways — My biggest issue with Linux Mint (and one that I think many will share) is that it doesn’t run some major software, such as Adobe Creative Cloud or Microsoft 365 desktop apps. You can often find web versions of major software as well as open-source alternatives, with the exception of professional video editing apps. Some hardware drivers and utilities aren’t available for the OS either. You also can't link your phone to Mint like you can with macOS and Windows. And although Windows users should be able to adjust to Linux Mint's interface quite easily, it still requires some tech savvy and the occasional use of a command line. Here's the bottom line: If you need to use professional apps or hardware that it can’t run, Linux Mint isn’t a good option. But if you don't mind adapting to alternative apps or working via a browser, it’s worth sacrificing a USB stick to test it out at the very least. You might even find that you like it better than Windows in some ways.

It takes calls, sends messages, lets you browse the internet, and just about everything else. But modern Android phones are blurring the lines between what a smartphone and a proper computer can do, so if you're feeling your phone is a little limited for what you want to do, there's a solution. I installed a full Linux desktop on my Pixel 9a, and not only is it buttery smooth, but it's also quite capable. I ended up turning my Pixel into a pocket workstation, and the result was a device way more capable than I gave it credit for.

Snapper is a snapshotting tool that comes pre-configured within openSUSE, and it's one of its strongest positives. It takes snapshots of your computer's files and lets you return to a previous state if something goes wrong. Best of all, if you're using something like openSUSE, the OS will automatically organise your OS on setup, so all your personal files go on a /home subvolume. This means Snapper can rewind time for your system files without touching your personal ones, and you don't lose any work. One of my favorite features of Snapper is how intelligent it is. It automatically tracks whenever you install an app, run a system update, or perform any other big system change. It will then take a snapshot immediately before and after the transaction, meaning you'll always have a restore point right before a big change without needing to lift a finger.

For the first time, Linux has smashed through 5% hitting yet another all-time high. Showing that all of Valve's work to improve Linux gaming thanks to Proton, SteamOS and the Steam Deck have certainly turned some heads. This is after last month saw a downwards swing due to a rise in Simplified Chinese so this may be things going back to where they would be normally. Read_on Also: * ⚓ Steam_survey_shows_Linux_hitting_an_all-time_high_with_gamers_-_Digital Trends⠀⇛ Linux gaming has just hit a major milestone. Valve’s March 2026 Steam Hardware & Software Survey shows Linux at 5.33%, which is the highest share it has ever recorded on Steam. In the meantime, Windows fell to 92.33%, while macOS came in at 2.35%. This means that Linux is now comfortably ahead of MacOS. Later coverage: * ⚓ Linux_use_hits_an_all-time-high_on_Steam,_passing_5%_user_share⠀⇛ hile Windows remains PC gaming’s dominant OS, it is clear that many gamers are tired of it. Interest in Valve’s new Steam Machine wouldn’t exist if Windows didn’t have issues. In fact, there are many games that run better on Linux than on Windows, due to SteamOS’ increased efficiency. There’s a reason why Microsoft is scrambling to fix Windows and boost its performance. In 2024, Linux accounted for only 2% of Steam’s user base. In 2026, we expect Linux’s use amongst PC gamers to continue growing, with Valve’s Steam Machine being a driving force. Even without Valve’s Steam Machine, Linux use is growing thanks to the success of Bazzite and other gaming-focused distributions. 3 more pieces: * ⚓ Steam_Survey:_Linux_climbs_to_5.33%,_more_than_double_macOS⠀⇛ Valve’s March 2026 Steam Hardware & Software Survey puts Linux at 5.33% of surveyed users, up 3.10 percentage points month over month. That is the first time Linux has moved above the 5% mark in Valve’s published survey data. Windows fell to 92.33%, while macOS rose to 2.35%. * ⚓ Steam_on_Linux_Surpasses_5%_Market_Share:_What_It_Means⠀⇛ Linux has crossed the 5% market share threshold on Steam, marking the most significant milestone the platform has reached in PC gaming history. It is a number that would have seemed implausible just a few years ago — and it carries real implications for developers, players, and the future of platform diversity on PC. The figure comes from Valve’s Steam Hardware & Software Survey, which tracks the operating systems and hardware configurations of active Steam users. According to data reported by Phoronix, Linux’s share on Steam has now surpassed 5%, a threshold that cements the platform’s place as a genuine — if still minority — force in PC gaming. * ⚓ Linux_installs_jump_to_over_5%_of_gamers_on_the_latest_Steam_Hardware Survey_while_the_RTX_5070_reverts_to_the_norm⠀⇛ Steam Hardware Surveys come with copious caveats, including some courtesy of Valve itself. But the latest results for March are still intriguing, including a big jump in the proportions of gamers running Linux and a regression to the mean for the survey's GPU stats. First up, that Linux result. According to March survey figures, the proportion of gamers on Steam running Linux increased from 2.13% in February to 5.33% in March. One more: * ⚓ Linux_Installations_Rise_to_5%_in_Latest_Steam_Hardware_Survey,_RTX 5070_Falls_Back⠀⇛ The latest Steam hardware survey has shown a very interesting picture, with strong growth in Linux installations among gamers. The share of users using Linux rose from 2.13% in February to 5.33% in March. This is a significant jump, putting the open-source operating system well ahead of macOS, which stands at 2.35%, although it still remains far behind Windows, which continues to dominate with 92.33%, despite a drop of 4.28%. Within the Linux ecosystem, Arch Linux leads the ranking with 0.34%, followed by Linux Mint 22.3 at 0.27%. This result is easy to explain, as SteamOS 3, the system used by Steam Deck, is based on Arch Linux, which has helped increase its use. * ⚓ March_Steam_survey:_Intel_Arc_finally_breaks_into_the_charts_as_AMD_and Linux_reach_record_shares⠀⇛ Not for the first time, the Steam survey has returned to some semblance of normality following a bizarre month. That means we have a new top GPU, AMD has reached yet another record CPU share, and Intel Arc has finally broken into the main chart. February was one of those weird months where the Steam survey saw massive changes from the status quo: the RTX 5070 became the top GPU, AMD lost CPU share, Windows 11 was down 10%, and Chinese became the most common language among participants. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣭⣭⣽⣿⣽⣭⣷⣮⣭⣭⣾⣥⣤⣮⣭⣮⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣶⣦⣮⣷⣾⣿⣿⡷⣳⣦⣯⡿⢶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠎⢻⡉⡛⣍⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⡇⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣋⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣇⠁⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⢽⡿⣿⠇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⢹⣿⠟⠇⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠶⠦⠦⠤⠄⢶⠶⢤⠦⠆ ⣿⢺⡏⣀⡀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⢿⣿⣿⢇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣭⣭⡉⢩⣏⠛⠚⣩⣿⣭⣭ ⣿⢹⣿⣘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠐⠛⠛⣻⣛⣛⣓⣛⠛⠛⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⢻⡟⡟⢚⣟⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿ ⣿⢽⡇⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠛⠛⠃⠓⠻⠋⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣀⠀⠀⠉⣉⢉⠉⢉⡀⠀⣀⡉⣻⣫⣭⣷⣮⣧⣷⣿⣮⣽⣿⡄⣷⣶⣿⣼⣿ ⣿⣝⣇⣾⣿⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⠸⣷⣺⣒⣛⣲⠃⢸⣿⣿⣿⢿⠿⣿⡿⣟⣸⣀⣷⣷⡈⠴⢴⡾⢶⣿⣿⣯⣥⣴⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡿⣿⢿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣟⣀⡉⠉⠉⣉⣉⢂⠸⣿⣿⣿⡟⢳⣾⣿⣿⡟⢱⡎⡿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣷⡏⠸⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣻⣟⣿⣿⣿⣟⡀⠠⣤⡤⠒⢿⢳⣶⣾⣛⠫⢭⡽⣿⣄⣤⠙⢿⣬⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⡟⠛⢲⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⢳⠞⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠈⠁⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠇⠿⣆⣿⢙⢹⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣏⣉⣩⣉⣽⣏⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣠⡄⠀⣀⣸⣉⣍⣟⣩⣿⣏⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢜⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡻⣿⢏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⣿⣿⣿⣉⢍ ⣿⣿⡏⣷⢿⢼⣾⡯⣿⣟⣽⣿⣷⣿⣃⣿⡿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣟⣿⡿⣿⣿⢻⣽⠟⣾⣿⣯⣿⠯⣴⡿⢯⣿⢛⣷⣟⣻⣿⣣⣿⣿⣵⣿⢳⣿⡿⣽⡿⣷⣿⣷⣿⠯⣴⡿⣷⡿⣟⣿⠿⣶⡿⣿⣾⣟⣾⣿⢣⣿⠫⣿⣟⣽ ⣿⡻⡿⢓⣿⣯⣽⠿⣹⡾⡣⣾⣿⣴⣿⣿⢽⢿⡶⠟⡽⣾⠛⢶⣿⣻⢿⢷⢿⠿⣿⣟⣻⣾⣿⡾⡿⡙⢿⣟⣾⣿⣻⣿⣿⡿⣿⣷⢿⣻⣾⣛⣾⣟⡺⡿⡟⠿⣟⣷⣿⣿⡿⣯⠿⣟⡾⢿⡻⠾⣿⢿⣿⡿⢿⠿⢿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2306 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/03/Open_Hardware_Modding_Raspberry_Pi_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/03/Open_Hardware_Modding_Raspberry_Pi_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: Raspberry Pi and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 03, 2026 * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Mekotronics_R57-5S_–_Rockchip_RK3576_mini_PC_and_digital player_integrates_inclined_5-inch_touchscreen_display⠀⇛ Mekotronics is known for its unusual Rockchip devices, and the R57-5S is a Rockchip RK3576 mini PC for kiosks and digital signage applications with a built-in, inclined 5-inch touchscreen display.

It also features an M.2 socket for storage or an Hey Hi (AI) accelerator, HDMI 2.1 and USB-C DP video outputs, a 4K-capable HDMI input port, dual GbE, WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.1, optional 4G LTE, a few USB ports, and a terminal block with RS232 and RS485 interfaces. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Modders_use_jumper_wires_and_a_custom_BIOS_to_save_a damaged_RTX_4090_from_the_trash_—_resurrected_Nvidia_gaming_GPU_loses_4GB of_VRAM_to_overcome_terminal_PCB_sagging⠀⇛ A YouTuber resurrects a damaged RTX 4090 with a bent PCB, using a custom BIOS to disable one of its memory channels, reducing its VRAM to 20GB but stabilizing it in the process. * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ A_new_3GB_Raspberry_Pi_4_for_$83.75,_and_more_memory- driven_price_increases⠀⇛ As many of you are aware, the price of memory continues to rise, with a seven-fold increase over the last year in the price of the LPDDR4 DRAM used on Raspberry Pi 4 and 5. Providing low-cost general-purpose computing remains a non- negotiable priority for us at Raspberry Pi, so while we can’t avoid passing on a portion of these increased costs, we’re also doing engineering work to expand the range of memory-density options available to our customers: we want to make sure you don’t pay for more memory than you need. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pi_flagship_500+_model_now_costs_almost_as much_as_a_Mac_Mini_—_firm_Pi_launches_3GB_model_to_fight_increasing_DRAM prices⠀⇛ The DRAM shortage continues to cause chaos in the computing market and is driving up the price of of various Raspberry Pi units yet again. Eben Upton, CEO of Raspberry Pi, announced that the Raspberry Pi 4, 5, 500, and 500+ are seeing another price jump, with outgoing pricing of the 500+ now approaching that of the M3 Mac Mini. The new price hikes have also led to the introduction of a new 3GB Raspberry Pi 4 to give customers more memory options to choose from. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ The_Raspberry_Pi_4_With_3_GB_RAM_Is_No_Joke⠀⇛ Although easily dismissed by some as another cruel April Fools joke, Raspberry Pi’s announcement of a new 3 GB model of the Raspberry Pi 4 along with (more) price increases for other models was no joke. Courtesy of the ongoing RAMpocalypse, supplies of LPDDR4 and LPDDR5 are massively affected, leading to this new RPi 4 model with two 1.5 GB LPDDR4 chips, as these are apparently cheaper to source. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Anything_Can_Be_A_Router,_If_You_Try_Hard_Enough⠀⇛ If you’re an American and you use the Internet at home, it seems probable that routers are going to be in short supply. The US government recently mandated all such devices be home grown for security reasons, which would be fine were it not that the US has next-to-no consumer-grade router manufacturing industry. * ⚓ The Verge ☛ Five_questions_for_the_guys_who_made_a_compass_that_points to_the_Times_Square_Olive_Garden⠀⇛ For this question we tapped in the great people over at Glub Glub Labs who did all the hard tech bits: We’re using an Arduino Nano microcontroller to manage the inputs and outputs for the compass. The Nano is connected to a GPS unit (SAM-M10Q) which is typically used for drone flight navigation, a gyro sensor to track rotation once the unit locks into a north reference, a stepper motor to turn the dial, and is powered by two batteries that we salvaged from some disposable vapes. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Pan_And_Tilt_The_Weatherproof_Way,_With_Bowden_Cables⠀⇛ Over the years there have been many designs for pan-and-tilt camera mounts suitable for single board computer cameras. Often they mount small servos for the movement, but those in turn present problems when the device finds its way outdoors. [GOAT Industries] is here with a novel solution to this problem, instead of trying to cover up the servos on the mount itself, the whole thing is remotely controlled by linear actuators through Bowden cables. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ Pick_and_place_without_the_CNC⠀⇛ This is just a PnP machine, but without all that fancy CNC robot stuff. With this, you’re the robot and you hold the “end effector.” You likely won’t have the precision or work ethic of a robot, but you’ll be able to place SMD components on your board without resorting to sticky, staticky, pinchy tweezers. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2439 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/03/OpenSUSE_Tumbleweed_Monthly_Update_and_Quick_Update_on_the_Pack.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/03/OpenSUSE_Tumbleweed_Monthly_Update_and_Quick_Update_on_the_Pack.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ OpenSUSE: Tumbleweed Monthly Update and Quick Update on the Package Version Tracking Feature in OBS⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 03, 2026 * ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ Tumbleweed_Monthly_Update_-_March_2026⠀⇛ Tumbleweed saw three Plasma 6.6 updates bringing progressive bugfixes to KWin, the system tray, Spectacle, and the Kicker launcher. KDE Frameworks advanced to 6.24.0 with nanosecond- precision timestamps in KIO and a new Kirigami StyleHints API. The Linux kernel moved from 6.19.5 to 6.19.9 with broad fixes across audio, display, and filesystem drivers.

He even got a round of applause for it during a talk at the useR! 2024 conference!

This particular program has a lot of options, but when I'd written it, I had used argparse argument groups to break up the large list of options into logical groups, starting with the most important and running down to the 'you should probably ignore these' ones.

The API can be very difficult to work with, and it seems like even the designers added many of the features needed to create a powerful native UI in a rush just to get something to work.
