Here are the ones that have replaced common proprietary apps for me. * ⚓ I_stopped_guessing_why_my_Linux_PC_was_slow_and_used_one_command_to find_out⠀⇛ My Linux PC wasn't broken. It just had this habit of taking its time, like it was stopping to tie its shoes on the way to the login screen. Some boots were quick, others dragged long enough to make me wonder if something had gone wrong. So I did what most people do, I rebooted, flipped a few switches I didn't fully understand, and then waited to see if it got better. Finally, I stopped to look at what was actually happening during boot. Linux isn't slow, it's just not very talkative about where the time goes. Once I pulled back the curtain and saw the process laid out step by step, I understood. * ⚓ DaVinci_Resolve_just_fixed_my_biggest_problem_with_Linux,_and_I’ve_run out_of_reasons_to_keep_Windows⠀⇛ It finally happened. Just recently, I talked about how the only reason I still needed to keep Windows on my PC was the fact that DaVinci Resolve did not work on Linux PCs without a discrete AMD or Nvidia GPU. But as it turns out, I was wrong, and now I no longer have a reason to keep Windows around. Mind you, DaVinci Resolve on Linux isn't without its quirks. But this past weekend, I fully edited a YouTube video on it, and it worked just as well as I'm used to, so I'm finally confident and ready to move away from Windows entirely. ⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀ ⠉⠉⠉⠁⠉⠉⠁⠈⠉⠁⠉⠉⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⡿⡿⣿⡿⣿⣿⠟⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣒⣲⣶⣶⣾⣿⣟⣿⣉⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣛⣿⣿⡟⣿⣻⣿⣟⣿⣻⣟⣿⠛⣟⣿⣟⣿⣻⣟⣿⣻⣿⣟⣿⣻⣟⣿⣿⣻⣟⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⠉⢙ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣟⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡟⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣯⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣶⣿⣾⣷⣿⣶⣾⣾⣷⣷⣿⣶⣷⣿⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣙⣛⣛⣿⣋⣛⣙⣻⣏⣙⣉⣛⣿⣋⣛⣛⣙⣻⣟⣛⣙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣉⣉⣭⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣙⣋⣛⣛⣏⣛⣛⣉⣿⣙⣋⣛⣛⣟⣛⣛⣻⣙⣛⣙⣟⣛⣻⣟⣛⣹⣙⣋⣙⣟⣛⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠶⡶⠶⡶⠷⠶⠶⠶⠷⠶⠶⠶⡶⠶⠾⡶⠶⠾⢶⠶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣛⣛⣛⣟⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣻⣛⣛⣛⣟⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣯⢭⢭⣭⣭⣭⢭⣽⣭⢭⣭⢭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣽⣭⣭⣭⣭⣯⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡒⣶⣒⣞⣶⣶⣶⣳⣞⣲⣒⣷⣞⠚⣷⣶⣒⣗⡶⢾⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣭⣭⣽⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣯⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠾⡿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣟⣛⣛⣟⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣻⣟⣛⣛⣛⣟⣛⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣴⣾⣦⣤⣾⣴⣴⣷⣾⣧⣾⣷⣶⣷⣶⣦⣶⣯⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣯⣭⣽⣭⣿⣯⣽⣯⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 205 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/07/Availability_of_NetBSD_11_0_RC3_and_More_FreeBSD_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/07/Availability_of_NetBSD_11_0_RC3_and_More_FreeBSD_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Availability of NetBSD 11.0 RC3 and More FreeBSD Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 07, 2026, updated Apr 07, 2026 * ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ Development_Release:_NetBSD_11.0_RC3⠀⇛ The NetBSD project has announced the availability of a new release candidate for the project's upcoming 11.0 release.

In this episode, John joins Gregor Vand to discuss the origins of FreeBSD, how its governance model differs from other open-source projects, its role inside systems like Netflix’s CDN and the PlayStation 4, the challenges of maintaining a 30-year-old codebase, and much more. * ⚓ FreeBSD ☛ Call_for_testing:_introducing_the_Laptop_Integration_Testing project⠀⇛ 2026 is off to a great start for the Laptop Support and Usability Project. We’ve seen lots of exciting updates to major areas such as graphics and Wi-Fi drivers, as well as FreeBSD installer improvements to support the KDE Plasma desktop environment out of the box. At this stage in the project, as we hinted earlier in the Year One Project Update, we decided to start a rigorous testing program to comprehensively validate all laptop and desktop functionality together. Since January, we have been working behind the scenes to evaluate testing requirements and implement the tooling needed to maintain these test results for the long term. After trial runs of integration testing on our committed target systems, we are pleased to open up this effort to the FreeBSD community! LWN: * ⚓ Introducing_the_FreeBSD_laptop_integration_testing_project⠀⇛ Recently, the FreeBSD Foundation has been making_progress on improving the operating system's support for modern laptop hardware. The foundation is now looking to expand testing to encompass a wider range of hardware; it has announced a laptop integration testing project to allow the community to easily test FreeBSD's compatibility with laptops and submit the results. * ⚓ NetBSD_11.0_RC3_available!⠀⇛ The NetBSD project is pleased to announce the third (and probably final) release_candidate of the upcoming 11.0 release, please help testing! ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 292 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/07/Debian_s_APT_3_2_Released_with_History_Undo_Redo_and_Rollback_S.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/07/Debian_s_APT_3_2_Released_with_History_Undo_Redo_and_Rollback_S.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Debian’s APT 3.2 Released with History, Undo, Redo, and Rollback Support⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Apr 07, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇APT_3.2⦈_ The biggest new feature in the APT 3.2 release is the long-anticipated rollback and history functionality that other package managers like DNF for Red Hat- based distros. This change was actually implemented in the development version 3.1.7, but it’s now part of the stable APT 3.2 release. The native rollback features have been implemented in the form of the following commands: history-list to show a list of history, history-info to show info on specific transactions, history-redo to redo transactions, history-undo to undo transactions, and history-rollback to rollback transactions.

As Windows and macOS became more rigid and closed over time, a gap emerged. Users wanted an OS that didn't inflict extensive tracking, telemetry, and bloatware, and Linux gained traction due to this problem. However, gaming has been a Windows-only thing for the last two decades, and it was one of the extremely weak points for Linux. You could switch to it and even use open-source tools for every other task, but gaming didn't feel the way it performed on Windows. However, with the recent surge of gaming-focused Linux distributions like Bazzite, SteamOS, and kernel-level improvements, the future looks promising. It makes me excited about the next set of Linux distributions that heavily incline towards offering the best possible gaming experience. * ⚓ XDA ☛ CachyOS_has_a_one-click_Windows_VM_button,_and_dual-booting_feels completely_outdated⠀⇛ For years, dual-booting felt like the grown-up answer for anyone who wanted Linux without fully giving up Windows. You got native performance, direct hardware access, and the comfort of knowing your fallback OS was sitting right there, waiting for you at startup. That made sense when Linux still had wider compatibility gaps and when setting up a virtual machine felt like a side quest rather than a practical solution. But the moment an operating system starts treating a Windows VM as an everyday tool rather than an enthusiast project, that old logic starts to wobble. ⠟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠋⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣶⣆⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣶⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣷⣷⣶⣷⣾⣶⡶⠰⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠈⢻⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⢻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣶⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠛⠋⠙⠟⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠉⠉⠿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠌⣯⡙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣷⣷⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠙⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣀⣀⡉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠈⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣦⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠾⢿⣿⣿⣾⣶⣷⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢁⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠾⠒⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⡿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣦⢰⣶⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠉⠉⠉⠙⠙⠙⠓⠶⠶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⡟⠉⠛⠛ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣦⡀⣚⣪⣝⣦⣠⣐⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠋⠛⠛⠙⠛⠛⠛⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 430 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/07/elementary_OS_Faster_More_Helpful_and_More_Yours.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/07/elementary_OS_Faster_More_Helpful_and_More_Yours.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ elementary OS: Faster, More Helpful, and More Yours⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 07, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇AppCenter_now_shows_ongoing_operations_in_the_updates_view⦈_ Quoting: Faster, More Helpful, and More Yours ⋅ elementary Blog — The latest version of Code comes with a number of fixes and a couple new tricks. In the Project’s sidebar, sorting project folders is now a toggle-able setting rather than a one-time action, the Terminal pane now follows the currently selected project’s path, and Jeremy fixed an issue that could cause the number of results for a global search to be incorrect. Plus, Loric fixed an issue that could cause a crash on startup or during certain global searches, and added a new setting to disable syntax highlighting for a more distraction-free editing experience. The High Contrast style has improved contrast for line numbers, thanks to the help of Micah. And it’s no longer possible to open multiple PasteBin dialogs thanks to Calle. We recently removed System Settings as a default dock item—since it’s accessible from several other places and dock space is at a premium—but, there were some expressed concerns about discoverability. So we’ve added some additional information to the final page of Onboarding to close the gap. This page shows even after selecting “Skip All”, so folks are always shown how to access additional System Settings and set up their computer how they like it.

Ubuntu — It hit my Ubuntu machine last night – and I’m last to be invited to anything, so I thought I’d write a quick rundown of what it actually does, what it doesn’t, and how to set it – assuming you have it. If you’re waiting for it to roll out to you, there’s no special update or download to look out for as this is a progressive rollout feature – Mozilla enables it remotely, in stages. There was no fanfare when it arrived for me, the toolbar button just …appeared. Firefox’s free VPN will initially only be available to users in the UK, the USA, France and Germany. It’s also desktop-only; you won’t find it in the latest versions of Firefox on Android or iOS.

I went down this path last year and it was annoying. You can't just trust the copies of photos on your device because they might not be the original/full version, and forcing them to all download might not work as expected. I was running into duplicates, missing files (my local count didn't actually match the official Library count), etc. * ⚓ Chris Maiorana ☛ The_Emacs_Way:_Deleting_Files⠀⇛ I know it’s scary, but sometimes you have to delete files, and once they’re gone—they’re gone. I guess that was why GUI systems invented the trash folder. The trash is a safe place to store files you want to delete, just in case you made a mistake. In the UNIXy and Emacs worlds, once you delete that file, it’s gone, so you better have your story straight. * § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ o ⚓ Heather J Meeker ☛ The_Schisms_of_Open/Libre/Only_Office⠀⇛ A governance crisis at LibreOffice and a licensing war over OnlyOffice have resulted in the biggest threat to open source office software since Oracle nearly killed the whole Open Office project back in the early 2010s. The open source office software world rarely makes headlines. * § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ o ⚓ Two_Years_of_Valkey⠀⇛ Two years ago last month, a group of former contributors to the Redis project announced their intention to collaborate instead on a competitive fork. * § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ o § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ Rlang ☛ Marathon_Man:_how_to_pace_a_marathon⠀⇛ Why is it so hard to know what pace you can maintain? Well, you can predict a pace based on existing races e.g. half marathon, and there are various ways to do this, but it is difficult to tell if you can hold that pace for the marathon. It’s such a brutal event that training up to run one takes time and it equally takes a while to recover, so experimentation is limited. Running a full marathon (at pace) in training, is not advised. So determining an ideal pace involves quite a bit of guesswork. Let’s take a look at a big dataset of marathon times – we’ll use the New York City Marathon from 2025 – to see if we can understand how to pace a marathon. There’s an available dataset of chip times (meaning we don’t have to worry about dodgy GPS data) and the course has similar first and second half profiles, allowing us to use these times to understand negative/even/positive splitting.

Honest! Alright, there’s an almighty caveat to that claim, yet if you have a fast fiber optic connection, taming the most graphically demanding games on a Steam Deck is entirely possible. Up until recently, I hadn’t touched my Steam Deck OLED in months. That wasn’t because I don’t love Valve’s handheld (I absolutely adore it). Instead, it was due to the fact the face buttons on my Deck suddenly stopped working one day. And no matter how many times I performed a hard reset on the palm- friendly, Linux-based PC, said inputs steadfastly refused to work. Happily, a recent SteamOS update has gotten my buttons playing nice again, and that’s made me refamiliarize with what I’d consider to be the essential app for Steam Deck owners. This cloud-based software is so compelling on strong Wi-Fi connections, I’ve barely touched my Nintendo Switch 2 since getting reacquainted with the OLED model of Valve’s fabulous handheld. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Immutable_Linux_sounded_bulletproof_until_I_tried_to_use_it⠀⇛ Linux is having its mainstream moment, pushed by mindshare from SteamOS, and the improvements to gaming on Linux that it brought. But the good thing about Linux is that you're not locked to any one version. Any of the components can be taken, reused, and recombined in new ways, leading to new options. While that's probably the best-known immutable distro, many others have sprung up, both for desktop and on parallel development paths to SteamOS. I wanted to check out a few other options, and while I love SteamOS, I feel there are reasons why immutable distros work in that ecosystem but not in others. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_used_Bazzite_instead_of_SteamOS_on_my_gaming_PC,_and_it_does everything_SteamOS_can’t⠀⇛ Valve deserves a ton of credit for making Linux gaming not just viable, but actually good. SteamOS was a huge part of that; Valve spent a ton of time proving that a Linux-based gaming OS could be polished, approachable, and provide a genuinely good experience. The Steam Deck was the perfect canvas to showcase it, and despite being a handheld first, the desktop mode meant that you could use it as a desktop computer if need be. This desktop mode doesn't actually give you all that functionality you'd want from a desktop PC, and when you factor in that user hardware still isn't fully supported, it's clear that SteamOS isn't a true replacement for Windows. Bazzite, an OS developed under the Universal Blue project, has caught on as one of the foremost choices for Linux gaming because of its great functionality out of the box, but one of its strengths is how usable it is as a normal PC. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I’m_switching_to_Linux_for_gaming_—_here's_why⠀⇛ When most people set up their favorite games on a new PC, they use Windows, my past self included. It is the standard in PC gaming, after all. However, gaming on Linux has been steadily getting better, ultimately becoming a better choice for me than Windows in recent years. In the past, running games was a nightmare on Linux, but recently it's become much more enjoyable. Nowadays, Linux even supports most Windows-only titles — except for some major AAA hits — and retro consoles, and can, in some cases, play them faster than Windows. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Someone_merged_SteamOS_with_NixOS,_and_the_result_is_the strangest_Linux_distro_I’ve_ever_loved⠀⇛ NixOS is one of my favorite Linux distros out there, and my second favorite is SteamOS, but both serve very different purposes. NixOS is popular among people who want an immutable OS, while SteamOS, as you know, is built for the Steam Deck. Someone decided these two could be merged, and when I first learned about it, I was genuinely surprised that anyone would even think of combining them. Jovian NixOS does exactly that. It is a community-driven Linux distribution that layers Valve’s SteamOS on top of the NixOS operating system. The goal is to give NixOS users a Steam Deck- like console experience, running Steam in a Wayland compositor with proper controller and firmware support, while still benefiting from the declarative nature of NixOS. I decided to give it a try, and to my surprise, it’s not as weird as it sounds. * ⚓ XDA ☛ You_don’t_need_to_wait_for_SteamOS_to_have_a_great_couch_PC_- here's_what_to_use_instead⠀⇛ SteamOS has become one of the most interesting gaming operating systems in years, mostly because it proves a Linux-based platform can feel polished, console-like, and genuinely easy to game on. On handhelds, Valve has already shown that formula works. The bigger question is whether that same experience can translate cleanly to a home theater PC sitting under a TV. SteamOS points in the right direction, but if you want a couch- friendly gaming PC today, the best option still depends on how much compromise you're willing to accept. If you plan on running games directly on the bare-metal, Bazzite, another Linux-based OS, is a legitimate choice for some configurations, but Windows 11 can be just as viable for the same use case. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1044 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/07/GNU_Linux_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/07/GNU_Linux_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 07, 2026 * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Late_Night_Linux_–_Episode_380⠀⇛ Steam stats suggest that gaming on GNU/Linux is more popular than ever, Wine improvements might entice even more gamers, Ubuntu might break things when it tightens up GRUB security and makes 6GB of RAM the minimum requirement for the desktop edition, and Ubuntu MATE is looking for new maintainers. * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Global_IP_TV_Panel_2026MK7⠀⇛ o ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Extra_information_in_run-as-user_GUI⠀⇛ EasyOS has a script named 'run-as-user', that will run an executable as any user.

And it's that the Linux community has largely lost sight of its own ideals. As a penguin, I was exposed early on to the ideas of Stallman. I respect and agree with what he believes in. Proprietary software is a weapon against users whose obscurity creates a false sense of security in its creators and silently damages the entire economy of technology. See the 2024 CrowdStrike disaster which took down the global travel infrastructure for days due to a bad update. An Open Source team would have caught that before it went live. Rushed corporate interests did not, and we all paid for it as a society. So why is it that mega-corporations are sinking billions of dollars into OSS such as the Linux Kernel, Proton, Flatpak, and the rest of the immutable distro stack? Why might it be that all these big players in the industry are making huge and sudden moves towards change? Towards improvement, towards centralization, reliability, and generally getting rid of package managers and maintainers? ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠉⠉⠙⠋⠟⠃⠀⣠⡶⠀⠄⠁⡠⠀⠀⠈⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢁⣈⠙⠛⠿⣿⣶⣌⢷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⠋⠉⠽⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠻⠌⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣌⡉⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠉⠛⠖⠝⠀⠴⠆⣘⣭⣳⣶⠤⢋⣽⣾⣿⣿⣿⡋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠐⠀⠄⠀⠘⠋⠿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⢷⠌⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡘⡷⠂⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠂⠒⠀⣦⣑⣀⡽⠁⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣲⣦⣨⣿⣿⡿⠙⣂⡀⠀⣄⠈⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠙⣹⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⢿⡙⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠻⠟⠁⠰⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⢒⠌⢞⠣⠓⡂⣉⣉⣉⣀⠀⠾⡙⣿⣿⠿⠛⣋⣉⣉⣀⢐⠂⢠⡄⡬⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⠿⢿⡇⣈⠛⠟⠶⢦⣬⢁⠆⢀⠀⠁⠐⠀⠘⠉⠘⠛⢿⢿ ⡙⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡜⣻⢇⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠬⠁⠈⠛⠿⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡌⠼⢡⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⣿⣿⣾⣿⡿⠟⠋⢁⣾⣿⠻⣿⣶⣤⣔⡉⡙⡳⡶⠀⢰⣶⣤⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣘⠷⣉⡮⣷⡿⢻⡷⡄⠀⡐⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠿⣿⡿⠀⢿⣿⠿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢰⣿⡿⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣦⣶⠂⢀⠺⢿⣿⡧⠄⣰⣤⡀⠀ ⠀⠀⡰⠃⠀⠀⠶⠈⠾⢯⣿⢋⣟⣹⣿⣧⣿⠕⡶⣦⡄⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⣄⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠎⠀⠀⠈⠱⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣠⡿⣿⣽⡄⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡾⣠⡆⣬⠽⢗⣿⣿⠗⢶ ⠠⢖⢭⣀⠘⠲⣿⣀⠀⠀⠻⠿⠜⣫⣿⠟⢥⠌⠔⠐⠀⠀⠀⣤⢄⠈⠀⣰⣼⡿⠳⠌⠉⠛⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠛⠉⠡⣾⢯⠻⣯⡷⢟⣺⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣷⣴⣾⣿⣷⣷ ⡎⠢⡾⡏⠁⠢⣄⠉⠳⢶⣄⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⣤⡤⠂⠀⠀⢀⡙⠫⡴⢛⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⡇⠘⠾⣛⠁⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡟⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠨⡀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠍⡢⢄⡈⠈⣶⣀⣤⠔⣾⣯⠀⠀⠀⠠⠌⢻⡿⣣⡾⡁⢴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⢀⠀⡁⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⣽⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣼⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠍⠓⣬⣿⣿⠈⣸⣿⣷⡀⣘⢷⣤⢾⣿⠏⠀⡙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠓⠏⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣰⢣⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿ ⠀⠠⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⢅⣬⡝⢿⡝⢿⣿⣇⣨⣿⣿⡟⠁⢠⡽⠀⠀⠀⣶⣶⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⡴⠖⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡟⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠉⠁ ⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠈⠈⢠⡆⠁⠀⠀⠉⠀⢁⠻⣿⣿⡋⠀⠁⠀⢻⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣧⣿⠛⣷⣶⠀⠀⢠⣶⠛⢉⣠⣔⡼⠋⠀⠀⢀⡄⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠠⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠆⠀ ⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⢀⡴⣿⣿⣦⣄⣀⠐⢿⣿⣾⠟⠁⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠱⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠙⠋⠁⢀⢀⡀⠈⠙⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠊⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⡀⣴⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠰⠀⠀ ⣒⠻⠿⠦⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣅⣼⡿⠃⣀⠋⠁⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠸⡷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣝⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠥⣀⣀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⠈⠛⠿⠟⢟⣹⣿⠏⠀⠀⠈⣶⡀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡠⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣽⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣼⣿⣇⣀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡷⠀⠀⢀⡄⠀⠀⠠⠐⢠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠄⠂⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⣿⣿⣿⡏⠸⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣙⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣝⣛⡒⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⠃⠘⠿⠥⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⢓⡢⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⡪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣍⠀⣀⣀⠈⠛⡟⠛⠉⠗⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⠀⠘⢳⣶⢴⡾⢇⣀⢼⣾⣿⢿⣿⣭⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢁⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠙⠛⣱⣶⣷⡆⠀⠃⣠⣔⣤⣽⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠁⠀⠘⢷⡚⢿⣿⣯⠟⣻⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⠀⠀⠐⠀⢢⡀⢨⠄⠂⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⢿⣲⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣬⣽⠋⢙⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠃⠙⠿⠿⠿⠁⢱⣼⡦⠐⠚⠁⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣴⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠈⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣴⣿⡿⢡⠆⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣀⠀⢿⣷⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣾⠿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⢀⣠⣐⣾⣿⣭⣭⣍⣟⣟⣛⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣄⠁⠀⠉⠉⠛⠿⠂⢰⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1352 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/07/Industrial_Revolution_and_Its_Mental_Effect.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/07/Industrial_Revolution_and_Its_Mental_Effect.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Industrial Revolution and Its Mental Effect⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 07, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Sinclair_Lewis_at_the_Wheel⦈_ Many people I know hate their jobs, suffer burnout, and cannot sleep well. Stress is ruining their bodies, especially their minds. Last year I began sleeping more and this year I increased sleep time some more (and have no regrets). For about 20 years I slept about 6 hours per day; then I realised it was due to me trying to increase productivity, though minimal sleep came at the expense of other things. Over time I learned to slow down a bit, as age isn't a constant, a person who lives a healthier life can live longer and better. This week we don't expect to add many stories, not because it's a holiday (now finished) but because of heat_(rising_about_20_degrees_this_week). It justifies spending more time outside. Remember that life is not a race. Take it easy and prioritise a pace that is sustainable. With the advent of machinery (powered by fuel in particular) human were relegated to less repetitive and less simple tasks. This contributes to a sense of pressure; I did (in the distant past) work on a factory floor and didn't find it particularly stressful because of muscle memory and interaction with colleagues.

That vast amount of choice can cause problems for some, especially for new users. However, there's a much bigger problem that needs to be addressed: Broken software that isn't labeled as such. This tripped me up a week ago, when I installed Fedora Miracle for testing and wasted two hours on it before figuring out why it was unusable. Fedora Miracle leans heavily into the Miracle tiling window manager. Tiling window managers are fascinating. On paper, they sound like the most efficient way to interact with your desktop. You open an app, and the tiling window manager automatically places it to make the most of your current screen real estate. You don't have to open an app, place it where you want it, and then adjust its size to fit the screen.

DietPi v10.2 has now arrived with Immich as an optional package, along with other changes. If you’re not familiar with DietPi, it’s an “extremely lightweight Debian-based OS,” comprised of a minimal base system and a ‘diet pi-software’ library for quickly installing and configuring additional components. The big v10 update was released in January, which added more optional packages and dropped support for Debian 11 Bullseye. DietPi v10.2 introduces Immich, the open-source and self- hosted Google Photos alternative, as a new package in the software library. The machine learning server for Immich, which provides facial recognition and smart search, is also available. Importantly, Immich and the machine learning server don’t have to be installed on the same device—you could offload that to another Raspberry Pi or other board to free up resources on your main Immich server. Both packages are only available for 64-bit x86 and ARMv8 platforms. o ⚓ Linus Åkesson ☛ Sum_Ergo_Demonstro⠀⇛ I made another demo for the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 microcontroller and got 3rd place in the Revision 2026 wild compo. o ⚓ XDA ☛ Self-hosting_freed_me_from_the_OS_lock-in_trap_(and_made_my devices_clutter-free)⠀⇛ If you’ve read my recent articles on XDA, you’ve probably seen me fawn over free and open-source tools that I can host on my local servers. After all, self-hosted services not only helped me escape from the clutches of enshittified cloud platforms, but they also don’t shove premium subscriptions down my throat. Plus, setting up (and more importantly, troubleshooting) FOSS services has taught me a lot about containerization and the Linux CLI. But the most underrated feature of self-hosting is that it got rid of the OS problem entirely for my media management, automation, and productivity tasks. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Simulating_The_AVR8_For_A_Browser-based_Arduino Emulator⠀⇛ It’s always nice to simulate a project before soldering a board together. Tools like QUCS run locally and work quite well for analog circuits, but can fall short with programmable logic. Tools like Wokwi handle the programmable side quite well but may have license issues or require the cloud. The Velxio project by [David Montero Crespo] is quite an excellent example of an (online) circuit simulator with programmable logic and local execution! o ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Hobbyist_builds_a_homebrew_Intel_8086_ISA accelerator_card_—_maker’s_project_improves_integer_multiplication on_these_retro_systems_by_250%⠀⇛ 50-year-old hardware is slow, but rest assured, there are hobbyists out there trying to speed things up by building new era-appropriate accelerator cards. A prime example is @bradthx (Brad) on X, a computer scientist and lover of boating who has recently showcased their hardware multiplication ISA card accelerator for Intel 8086 and Intel 8088 PC systems. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Playing_DVDs_On_The_Sega_Dreamcast⠀⇛ On the DVD side of things there’s a Raspberry Pi 5 that connects to an external USB DVD drive and which encodes the video for transmission via USB to the Pico 2 board. Although somewhat sketchy, it totally serves to get DVDs playing on the Dreamcast. If only Sega had not skimped on those license fees, perhaps. o ⚓ Arduino ☛ Glitchy_goodness_from_an_open-source_granular synthesizer⠀⇛ A granular synthesizer — or more appropriately, a granular audio processor — is a device that chops audio samples into small “grains” that are just a few milliseconds long. It then manipulates them and rearranges them, before outputting the result. The auditory effect is interesting and appealing to experimental artists, but even low-end granular synthesizers are pricey. So, Sid Rockett used an Arduino Nano R4 to build his own open-source granular synthesizer called Arena Digitalis. * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ XDA ☛ Ubuntu_Phone_failed,_but_running_full_Linux_on_your_phone is_actually_possible_now⠀⇛ Remember back when Ubuntu Phone was a thing? XDA remembers, because we collaborated on a phone that could run Ubuntu Touch OS way back in 2020. It never really took off, with only a few commercial devices and a small list of community-supported phones that could have their preinstalled Android version swapped for Ubuntu Touch OS. Well, even if you can't fully replace your OS with Linux, that doesn't mean it's the only way you can run it.

Most editors render their UI using web technologies. That is why they feel like browsers. Zed, however, uses something called GPUI. It is a custom framework that renders the entire editor on your GPU, exactly like a high-end video game. There is zero ghosting or stutter. It sounds like a small thing until you go back to VS Code and realize that your "smooth" scrolling actually has a microlayer of sludge attached to it. We have grown accustomed to the idea that a "modern" IDE needs 2GB of RAM just to breathe, but Zed is written in Rust and sits comfortably under 500MB, even with several projects open.

In reality, what usually happens is much less poetic. You remove a bunch of things, feel strangely powerful for a short while, and then run headfirst into the first file your system no longer knows how to open. So naturally, I didn’t just go with Ubuntu’s minimal install and call it a day. Come on, guys, that would have been sensible. Instead, I installed it, looked around, and decided it still felt a little too comfortable. Too complete. So I started removing things, one by one, with a very simple rule in mind: if I didn’t explicitly choose it, it didn’t get to stay. No bundled apps quietly waiting to be useful. No “just in case” tools. No invisible helpers smoothing things out in the background. Just a desktop, a terminal, and a growing awareness that I was slowly dismantling the parts of the system that make it feel effortless. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Ubuntu_26.04_LTS_drops_next_month,_but_there's_a_strong_case_for skipping_it_entirely⠀⇛ It's been nearly two years since the last LTS release of Ubuntu, but soon it will be time for another.

Secure Boot is a feature of UEFI, and it's a requirement for any computer that wants to run a modern version of Windows. It exists to protect us against malware that infects your computer's bootloader. There's a security certificate stored in the UEFI which your computer uses to check the Windows bootloader, to ensure it's legitimately signed by Microsoft, and not an imposter. So far, so good, but what happens when the certificate in your UEFI expires? Well, we're all about to find out.

KDE Plasma is designed for modern machines that can handle a visually rich, feature-heavy experience. Xfce is the default and offers a solid middle ground for systems that are a few years old. Fluxbox is aimed at genuinely under-powered machines, where even Xfce can feel heavy. There’s also an official ARM edition for the Raspberry Pi, running Xfce with the full MX tool set. Furthermore, the distro is based on Debian Stable, and by virtue of that heritage, you get a robust and stable user experience. All the apps and software packages in its repositories go through thorough testing. The only trade-off is that its drivers may not be fully optimized for cutting-edge, high-end hardware—especially when it comes to graphics. That said, this limitation isn’t unique to MX Linux and affects most stable-release distros. In fact, MX actually addresses this with Advanced Hardware Support (AHS), available both as a separate ISO and as a repository you can enable post-install. It ships with a newer Liquorix kernel and an updated graphics stack, which helps systems from around 2019 onward that struggle with Debian’s more conservative drivers. If you're using bleeding-edge hardware, AHS won’t solve everything—but for most moderately new systems, it closes the gap enough to matter.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS introduced new folder icons for the default GNOME Desktop. * ⚓ MWL ☛ On_April_Fools’_Pranks⠀⇛ You can still get the Defenestrated Edition of Networking for System Administrators for a few days, but this post is about April Fools’ gags in general.

I'm not talking about obscure tools that you'd reserve for niche scenarios, but common staples that every Linux user is intimately familiar with, like ls, cat, grep, and man. Despite the ubiquity of these commands, I've replaced them with superior options and mostly stopped using them. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ These_9_uncommon_grep_flags_are_the_secret_to_finding anything_from_the_Linux_terminal⠀⇛ If your typical grep workflow involves piping output through three other commands just to get what you need, then you’re doing it wrong. Grep has dozens of powerful flags that can help you count the number of lines, limit the output, extract patterns, and a whole lot more. Here are nine grep flags to help you find anything from the Linux terminal. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ This_one_Linux_shell_character_made_me_feel_like_a hacker⠀⇛ Like many people using Unix-like operating systems for the first time, I was introduced to the concept of the pipeline. Here's how a single character on the command line changed everything. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ The_terminal_tricks_nobody_talks_about_(but_everyone should_know)⠀⇛ The best thing about working with the terminal is just how efficient it can be. Imagine if someone gave you a thousand documents and told you to replace specific patterns of text inside those files. You could spend days opening those files in an editor and manually replacing the text inside them. Or you could run a single "sed" command and be done in a few seconds. It genuinely feels like a superpower the more I learn about it and practice it. Here are 6 things I learned that made the terminal less frustrating for me and sped things up at the same time. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 8_ways_to_delete_a_file_in_Linux—and_when_to_use_each⠀⇛ When a file is no longer serving a purpose, it’s time to delete it, and you probably know at least one way of doing so. But there may be more ways than you realize, and each has its own advantages, quirks, and things to teach us. From GUI to command line and even lower-level than that, discover more about getting rid of files. * ⚓ Cory Dransfeldt ☛ Battling_bots⠀⇛ I've already blocked entire countries to combat scrapers, I update my robots.txt for well-behaved bots (and 403 any included in the list that access anything other than my robots.txt). In addition to these steps, I've started blocking traffic from IPs contained in Spamhaus' DROP and DROPv6 lists. The script I use to handle these lists and countries is as follows. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2982 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/07/Ubuntu_24_04_LTS_vs_macOS_26_Tahoe_The_Free_OS_That_Rivals_a_Pr.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/07/Ubuntu_24_04_LTS_vs_macOS_26_Tahoe_The_Free_OS_That_Rivals_a_Pr.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu 24.04 LTS vs. macOS 26 Tahoe: The Free OS That Rivals a Premium Experience⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 07, 2026 In 2015, I’d have said Ubuntu couldn’t match macOS as a daily driver. In 2026, I’m saying something different: for most people — students, web developers, writers, casual users, small businesses — Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is not a compromise. It’s a genuinely excellent OS that costs nothing. If you need Xcode, the Fashion Company Apple ecosystem, or creative pro software, stay on macOS. I am, for my development work. But if you just want a fast, secure, private desktop that doesn’t cost a thousand plus dollars before you even turn it on? Ubuntu isn’t just viable anymore. It might actually be the better daily experience right now — especially while macOS is going through its Liquid Glass identity crisis. The $0 operating system is rivaling the premium experience. And in some ways, it’s winning.

There's an SDN stack for network lovers, high-availability services for hardcore self-hosting enthusiasts, and backup tools for folks who don’t want to lose their meticulously-crafted app stack to botched experiments. * ⚓ XDA ☛ GPU_passthrough_to_LXCs_beats_VMs_in_Proxmox,_and_it’s_way simpler_than_you'd_think⠀⇛ Although virtual machines and containers work in entirely different ways, you might want to use both in your home lab. After all, virtual machines have better isolation provisions, making them ideal for dev tasks, nested containerization setups, makeshift storage servers, and other resource-heavy tasks where you need superior security provisions. Unfortunately, their resource-hogging tendencies make them less than ideal for minor self-hosting tasks, and that’s where lightweight containers come into the equation. Better yet, Proxmox natively supports LXCs, and you can even rely on community templates to spin up different services and distros inside containers. But unless you’re using your virtual machines for dev tasks or hosting private gaming clouds (which work surprisingly well, believe it or not), it’s a good idea to stick with Linux containers if you want to harness your graphics card in self-hosted apps. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_replaced_my_entire_Proxmox_backup_strategy_with_one_tool,_and_I haven't_thought_about_backups_since⠀⇛ Backups are one of those jobs that look solved right up until they fail at the worst possible moment. For a long time, my Proxmox backup strategy was technically functional, but it demanded too much attention to deserve any real trust. I had jobs running, storage targets assigned, and enough moving pieces to convince myself I was covered. What I didn't have was confidence that restoring a VM or container would be as painless as the backup logs made it sound. That distinction matters more in a home lab than people sometimes admit. A backup plan that needs constant babysitting is not really finished, because it still depends on your mood, memory, and free time. The moment life gets busy, the whole thing starts to drift. Proxmox Backup Server changed that for me by turning backups from a collection of tasks into a system I could stop actively managing. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Running_OpenClaw_in_Proxmox_taught_me_that_elegance_doesn't always_beat_reliability⠀⇛ I didn’t expect OpenClaw to become one of the more satisfying things I’ve run in Proxmox. AI tools still tend to sound better in theory than they feel once you actually start using them every day, especially when you add integrations and expect them to behave like a real service. That was part of the appeal for me, though. I wanted to see whether OpenClaw could hold up in a setup that felt like part of my home lab instead of a disposable weekend experiment. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Proxmox_gave_me_Home_Assistant_plus_a_NAS,_media_server,_and backup_system_on_one_PC⠀⇛ Over the last year or so, I've come to rely on both Home Assistant and Proxmox quite a bit. Home Assistant unlocked possibilities I didn't know I had with my smart home, and made it much easier to manage all of it. Initially, I had Home Assistant on a bare metal install, but then I realized I could be doing so much more with the computer that powered it. Proxmox truly changed the game because not only can I run Home Assistant with its full capabilities, but it lets me run a lot more tools as well. What used to be just a hub for controlling my smart home has become the most useful computer in my home, and I love it. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3130 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/07/Ventoy_celebrates_its_6th_birthday_by_fixing_a_nasty_immutable_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/07/Ventoy_celebrates_its_6th_birthday_by_fixing_a_nasty_immutable_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ventoy celebrates its 6th birthday by fixing a nasty immutable Linux bug⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 07, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Ventoy⦈_ Quoting: Ventoy celebrates its 6th birthday by fixing a nasty immutable Linux bug — If you're a distro-hopping addict like I am, there's a very good chance you have a Ventoy USB drive loaded to the brim with all kinds of operating systems. With Ventoy, you can load up several ISOs onto your USB drive, boot into it on your PC, and then select which operating system you'd like to load. It's great for storing emergency use operating systems, recovery distros, or just flitting between different Linux systems on a whim. Ventoy has been around for six years now, and the devs behind it are celebrating the occasion with a new patch.
