Not only because it's a robust clean-sheet approach to replicating UNIX, but also thanks to its open software license. Today, Linux is everywhere. Ironically, the only place Linux is still rare is on desktop computers. While the year of the Linux desktop always seems to be "next year," when it comes to the other everyday devices you use, there's a very high chance what you're working with is none other than Linux.

It’s designed to automate common housekeeping tasks such as sorting downloads, archiving media, cleaning up old files, and organizing content into directory structures based on file properties and timestamps. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Dylint_-_Rust_linting_tool_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Dylint is a Rust linting tool that lets developers run lints packaged as dynamic libraries rather than being limited to a fixed built-in lint set. It’s designed for developers and teams who want to create, share, and reuse custom lint collections, with support for loading libraries from the command line, workspace metadata, environment paths, and direct paths. Dylint also includes tooling to help authors create new lint libraries, configure them per workspace, and view results inside editors such as VS Code. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ ActivityWatch_-_automated_time_tracking_application_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ ActivityWatch is an automated time tracking application that records how you spend time on your devices while keeping the collected data on your own machine.

That was the core of what drew me to Delta Chat. There are plenty of proprietary email apps set up around that feature but in the free world, not so much. Delta Chat was it and it was a gem because it was in many ways better than those other sparks and spikes and whatever they were called. Not to mention the incredible leap of faith it takes to go for a proprietary mail app since they can read the emails. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Original_Apollo_11_code_open-sourced_by_NASA_— original_Command_Module_and_Lunar_Module_code_repos_are_now_public_domain resources⠀⇛ The historic computer software code that took Apollo 11 to the moon has been open-sourced and is available to anyone to read, download, and tinker with. * ⚓ Orhun Parmaksız ☛ Write_less_code,_be_more_responsible⠀⇛ My thoughts on AI-assisted programming. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ Martin Alderson ☛ Has_Mythos_just_broken_the_deal_that_kept_the internet_safe?⠀⇛ For nearly 20 years the deal has been simple: you click a link, arbitrary code runs on your device, and a stack of sandboxes keeps that code from doing anything nasty. Browser sandboxes for untrusted JavaScript, VM sandboxes for multi-tenant cloud, ad iframes so banner creatives can't take over your phone or laptop - the modern internet is built on the assumption that those sandboxes hold. Anthropic just shipped a research preview that generates working exploits for one of them 72.4% of the time, up from under 1% a few months ago. That deal might be breaking. * § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ o ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ Open_Letter_to_some_Collabora_Developers⠀⇛ Yes, we should have published this blog post some time ago.

It’s a good week for releases, with Sol Cesto being a great roguelite game where you direct your heroes against impossible odds. It has a very unique art style. There’s also People of Note from Annapurna which looks like a delightful mix of turn-based RPG and a musical. Here’s the whole list below. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ Island_of_Hearts_-_Review⠀⇛ Island of Hearts is a lackluster dating FMV, developed by Titan Digital Media and 4Divinity (who is also the publisher). It did work on Steam Deck with a few caveats, but I only got a black screen on CachyOS. FMV (full-motion video) games have popping- up on my Steam suggestions for a while. Some appears to have the production value of DRM spreader Netflix series, and mixing styles and genres with plenty of minigames. I don’t think I saw anything released recently be close to Black Dahlia, a game I am fond from my early adult life, but some games do try. Island of Hearts is not like that, neither tries to be. It is straightforward: you watch a video, pick a choice and watch the next video, with some minigames sparsely sprinkled here and there without a deep story. I am not an expert on FMV dating- sim, but it seems most of them on Steam follows the same formula. Well, Island of Hearts tries to set up a story early on, before you are dumped into drama island, but not enough to get you that interested. Sadly, every single game design decision made me lose my suspension of disbelief: lack of choices, rough cuts in video edits, and shallow and uncanny stories.

I installed it because something about it felt … intentional. Almost suspiciously so. GNOME has been quietly tightening its vision for years, and GNOME OS is where that vision stops being a suggestion and starts being the whole point. This isn’t a distro in the way most Linux users think about distros. It’s closer to a statement. Once you boot into it, you realize pretty quickly that it’s not trying to compete with your current system. It’s trying to redefine what a Linux system even is.

It's not something you consciously choose, but it works and is often your go-to when a process maxes out your CPU. One problem you may have is that top is usually a wall of numbers that you may not have time to interpret, especially if you're under pressure. Btop does this much better. It helped me observe problems as they happened in real time, lining up CPU spikes, disk activity, and processes in one view. I completely stopped relying on the top command.

From the get-go, the release candidates showed more commit activity than usual, which sounds like it should be a good thing, but it really isn't. The release candidates aren't where new features get added; it's where features that have been added undergo testing. Therefore, the more activity a build has, the buggier it is. Fortunately, while Linux 7.0's release candidates were having problems, Linus Torvalds forged ahead with the intended release plan, as he saw the commits were addressing many smaller bugs rather than fixing large, showstopping ones. It seems his moxie paid off, as Linux 7.0 is finally getting the final bits and pieces polished up before its big release on April 12th. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 950 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/12/Links_12_04_2026_Climate_Conflict_and_Change_in_Hungaristan.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/12/Links_12_04_2026_Climate_Conflict_and_Change_in_Hungaristan.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Change in Hungaristan⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 12, 2026, updated Apr 12, 2026 After what feels like eternity Orban is_out.

Do we have a classification scheme for the hacks that we see here on Hackaday? For instance, the obvious precursor to many of Tom’s favorite hacks is the breaking-into-the-locked-firmware hack, where a device that didn’t want you loading your own firmware on it is convinced to let you do so. Junk-hacking is probably also a category of its own, where instead of finding your prey on AliExpress, you find it on eBay, or in the alleyway. And the save-it-from-the-landfill repair and renovation hacks are close relatives. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Suction-Driven_Seven-Segment_Display⠀⇛ Each segment in the display is made of a cavity behind a silicone sheet; when a vacuum is applied, the front sheet is pulled into the cavity. A vacuum-controlled switch (much like a transistor, as we’ve covered before) connects to the cavity, so that each segment can be latched open or closed. Each segment has two control lines: one to pressurize or depressurize the cavity, and one to control the switch. The overall display has four seven-segment digits, with seven common data lines and four control lines, one for each digit. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Implementing_PCIe_Over_Fiber_Using_SFP_Modules⠀⇛ The test setup involves a Raspberry Pi 5 on a PCIe breakout board and a PCIe card connected to the whole QSFP intermediate link with custom SFP module PCBs for muxing between PCIe edge connector or USB 3.0 connectors to use those cheap crypto miner adapter boards. The fiber is just simple single-mode fiber. Using this a Gen 2 x1 link can be created without too much fuss, demonstrating the basic principle. * ⚓ [Old] Eli Billauer ☛ PCIe_over_fiber_optics_notes_(using_SFP+)⠀⇛ When a general-purpose host computer is used, at least one PCIe switch is required in order to ensure that the optical link is based upon a steady, non-spread spectrum clock. If an FPGA is used as a single endpoint at the other side of the link, it can be connected directly to the SFP+ adapter, with the condition that the FPGA’s PCIe block is set to asynchronous clock mode. Since my project involved more than one endpoint on the far end (an FPGA and USB 3.0 chip), I went for the solution of one PCIe switch on each end. Avago’s PEX 8606, to be specific. * ⚓ Rui Carmo ☛ The_Orange_Pi_6_Plus⠀⇛ This was a long one–I spent a fair bit of time with the Orange Pi 6 Plus over the past few months, and what I expected to be a quick look at another fast ARM board turned into one of those test runs where the hardware looks promising on paper, the software is wonky in exactly the wrong places, and you end up diving far more into boot chains, vendor GPU blobs and inference runtimes than you ever intended. * ⚓ Argon 40 Technologies Ltd ☛ Argon_ONE_UP_CM5_Laptop_Core_System_–_Argon 40_Designs⠀⇛ It’s not just a dev board in a case — it’s a full-featured laptop engineered from the ground up to offer a true third option in a world dominated by Intel and Apple. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1161 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/12/Our_Reach_is_Growing.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/12/Our_Reach_is_Growing.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Our Reach is Growing⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 12, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Dan_Neidle⦈_ Even in 2026, despite_all_the_LLM_slop out there, our reach continues to grow.

This is why it is so hard to keep open solutions, well, open for all. All too often have I seen well-meant communities of practice experiencing a hostile takeover by ego-driven people that “steal” the ideas to try to make a more closed, centralised version and monetise that, leaving the community outside of the walled garden they want to build. * ⚓ Julia Language Blog Aggregator ☛ cuTile.jl_0.2:_New_features,_improved performance,_and_Julia_1.13_support⠀⇛ cuTile.jl v0.2 is the first major update of the Julia package for writing GPU kernels using NVIDIA's tile-based programming model.

Seems like a daunting task at first, right? Writing drivers means you have to write Kernel code, and writing Kernel code is hard, low level, hard to debug and so on. None of this is actually true though . Writing a driver for a USB device is actually not much more difficult than writing an application that uses Sockets. This post aims to be a high level introduction to using USB for people who may not have worked with Hardware too much yet and just want to use the technology. There are amazing resources out there such as USB in a NutShell that go into a lot of detail about how USB precisely works (check them out if you want more information), they are however not really approachable for somebody who has never worked with USB before and doesn’t have a certain background in Hardware. You don’t need to be an Embedded Systems Engineer to use USB the same way you don’t need to be a Network Specialist to use Sockets and the Internet. * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Collaborating_between_Bioconductor_and_R-universe_on Development_of_Common_Infrastructure⠀⇛ For more than two decades, the Bioconductor project has been a cornerstone of the R ecosystem, providing high- quality, peer-reviewed tools for bioinformatics and computational biology. Its curated repository model, rigorous review standards, and tightly coordinated release process have helped establish Bioconductor as one of the most trusted distribution channels in scientific computing. However, the infrastructure that supports such a long- standing and large-scale project inevitably accumulates technical debt. Legacy build systems, bespoke tooling, and historically grown workflows add up to costly and unsustainable maintenance work. For this reason, Bioconductor is collaborating with R-universe to gradually modernize parts of its infrastructure, while accommodating the project’s scale, governance, and established processes. In turn, Bioconductor is helping R-universe expand and refine its features as we learn to serve the complex needs of the Bioconductor community. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Max Leiter ☛ Per-directory_terminal_colors_in_fish_shell⠀⇛ My terminal background color changes based on the current directory.
