He wanted the ability to have each connected screen show a different virtual desktop independently, rather than having all displays switch as one unit. Over the years, over 15 duplicate reports piled onto the original as more people ran into the same wall. And that's not a surprise, because multi-monitor setups have become increasingly common. The technical reason why this issue stayed open this long comes down to X11. Implementing it there would have required violating the EWMH specification, which has no concept of multiple virtual desktops being active at the same time.

An important security fix has been included as well, related to encrypted installations, where encryption keyfiles were written to an unencrypted root partition when encrypting partitions like /home, but not /. Now keyfiles are only generated when root is also encrypted.

While there’s nothing to legally keep anybody from pasting an “open source” label on any software license, it’s generally accepted that until a license is approved by OSI, it’s not open source. O’Brien will be the organization’s second permanent executive director. Before Maffulli, OSI had a general manager who was responsible for day-to-day office management duties, with the board president taking on the executive responsibilities. The new guy brings to the table many years’ experience in open source, both in open source foundations and nonprofits such as Open Source Collective and OpenSSF, and in business. For the latter, he spent 2 1/2 years as Capital One’s collaborative engineering lead, where his duties included overseeing the company’s open source program office. Before that, he spent about 3 1/2 years in various open source positions at PayPal, and more than five years at Indeed.com as the head — and then director — of open source.

For those who have not yet had the pleasure, Duane is a long-time Open Source leader with nearly 25 years of experience as a technologist, community advocate and strategist. It’s been a pleasure to have personally worked with Duane and to have directly witnessed his engagement, contribution and support for so many aspects of the Open Source ecosystem over the past decade. I am both grateful and excited to leave OSI’s future in his hands. It’s been a privilege to have served as OSI’s interim ED over the past six months and to have worked with its team of gifted Open Source professionals. Many thanks to the team for the time together, and thanks to the many stakeholders who lent support through the leadership transition time. The best of OSI is yet to come! * ⚓ Welcoming_Duane_O’Brien_as_Executive_Director_of_the_Open_Source Initiative_-_Open_Source_Initiative⠀⇛ This is a critical moment for the Open Source Initiative. As Open Source continues to shape global technology, policy, and digital infrastructure, the need for clear stewardship and strong leadership has only grown. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I’m thrilled to welcome Duane O’Brien as OSI’s new Executive Director. Duane brings a distinctive combination of experience and perspective to this role. He’s shown a heightened ability to recognize where the Open Source ecosystem is headed and to bring people together to respond in practical ways. That work happens in the day-to-day reality of maintainers, foundations, and organizations as they navigate complex questions about how Open Source is sustained and governed. * ⚓ Open_Source_Initiative_Appoints_Duane_O’Brien_as_Executive_Director_- Open_Source_Initiative⠀⇛ The Open Source Initiative (OSI), globally recognized as the steward of the Open Source Definition, today announced the appointment of Duane O’Brien as its new executive director. O’Brien is a long-time Open Source leader with nearly 25 years of experience as a technologist, community advocate and strategist. He most recently led Collaborative Engineering at Capital One, where he oversaw the company’s Open Source Program Office, InnerSource initiatives, and standards for programming language adoption and implementation. Prior to that, he built and led the Open Source Program Office at Indeed and directed Open Source programs and operations at PayPal. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⡟⠉⡉⠙⡏⠉⡉⠉⠿⠋⢉⠉⢻⠉⢉⠉⢹⣿⣿⠋⣉⣹⡟⢉⡉⠻⡏⢹⣿⠉⡏⠙⣉⡟⢉⣉⡽⢋⣉⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡄⠘⠇⢀⡇⠀⠛⠀⣤⠀⠠⠄⣼⠀⢸⡇⢸⣿⣿⠷⠤⢘⡄⠹⠟⢠⡇⠸⠿⠀⡇⢸⣿⡇⠸⠿⣧⠀⠤⠤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⡇⠀⣶⠾⣿⣷⣶⣶⣿⠶⣾⣷⣾⡿⢿⣶⣶⣾⣿⣶⣶⣿⢿⣶⣾⣶⣷⣾⣿⣿⣶⠶⠿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠒⣿⠛⠛⠛⣿⠒⡟⠁⢛⡗⢺⡟⠛⠛⢿⠃⠛⣿⢺⡛⢿⡟⢛⡟⠛⠛⣿⣣⣐⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⠀⣿⠀⣿⠀⣿⠀⣿⡇⢸⠋⣩⡅⢸⠀⣿⣿⢸⣧⠘⠁⣾⠀⣉⣁⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣿⣴⣿⣤⣿⣤⣿⣦⣤⣧⣼⣦⣤⣦⣼⣧⣤⣷⣼⣿⣦⣼⣿⣷⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 352 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/15/End_of_10_Handout.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/15/End_of_10_Handout.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ End of 10 Handout⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 15, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇A4_snippet⦈_ Quoting: End of 10 Handout – The Everyone Environment — When I hear fairly technical folks talk about Linux in 2026, I still consistently hear things like “I don’t want to use the command line.” The fact that Spotify, Discord, Slack, Zoom, and Steam all run smoothly on Linux is far removed from these folks’ conception of the Linux desktop they might have formed back in 2009. Most people won’t come to Linux because it’s free of ✨shlop✨ and ads — they’re accustomed to choking on that stuff. They’ll come to Linux because they can open a spreadsheet for free, play Slay The Spire 2, or install Slack even though they promised themselves they wouldn’t use their personal computer for work. The GNOME we all know and love is one we take for granted… and the benefits of which we assume everyone wants.

It's smooth, beautiful, user-friendly, and highly configurable. I would go so far as to say that KDE Plasma has surpassed GNOME as the most popular desktop environment for Linux. Some Linux distros, such as KDE Linux, ship with a fairly untouched version of KDE Plasma, whereas other distros ship with customized versions. Netrunner takes KDE Plasma and bends it into a hybrid of KDE Plasma, GNOME, and Windows 11. As a result, the Netrunner desktop distribution should be immediately familiar to anyone who has used a PC over the past decade. Some might consider that a bold statement, but it really is true.

As I had a friend's old HP Pavilion m6 laptop sitting around, I figured, why not give it a try. After a quick boot drive created on a flash drive I also had in my tech box (you know the one), I installed Zorin on this older machine and gave it a test. To be honest, I found Zorin to be fairly user- friendly, and one I might recommend to my less tech-savvy friends and relatives if they were looking for a way to make their older PCs useful again. WIth Windows 10's end of life process driving millions of downloads of Zorin OS, as well, I figured it would be a great time to test it out myself.

Installing an operating system is almost always a chore, especially when you take into account the initial setup process. Signing in to your email and social accounts, setting up Steam, and downloading a bunch of games, the list goes on and on. Some operating systems (of the humble penguin variety) are a lot more obtuse, with Gentoo, Arch, and NixOS coming to mind. Arch, in particular, has no GUI for its installer, forcing you to use the terminal once you're in it. Some would consider it gatekeeping, and it does feel intimidating toward newcomers. This kept me away from Arch for quite some time, until I stumbled upon a utility known as Archinstall. This handy little script is surprisingly user-friendly and baked into the installer media, making Arch the most accessible it has ever been.

This has been a pain point in the past, when you edit styles you cannot see how it actually affects the canvas. Now the style editor immediately tells you how it will affect a canvas, making it much easier to change the style exactly to your preferences. We have also added the ability to import styles. Since Graphs styles are based on matplotlib styles, most features from a matplotlib style generally work. Similarly, you can now export your styles as well making it easier to share your style or simply to send it to a different machine. Finally, the style editor can be opened independently of Graphs. By opening a Graphs style from your file explorer, you can change the style without having to open Graphs.

for anyone⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 15, 2026, updated Apr 15, 2026 Quoting: Why Zorin OS 18.1 is simply the best Linux distro - for anyone | ZDNET — Back in 2025, I stated that Zorin OS 18 might be my new best Linux distro. Before that (in 2023), I called Zorin OS exactly what a desktop operating system should be. Notice a pattern? With each release, Zorin OS makes a very strong statement that it's the Linux distribution for users of all types. Zorin OS 18.1, released today, continues that trend to the point where I'm officially calling it the best Linux distribution on the market; not just for new users, not for experienced users -- for everyone. It won't take long after your first login to understand why I can make such a bold claim. Zorin OS 18.1 refines everything the developers have done to date, creating an operating system that is just so darn good. Read_on OMG Ubuntu: * ⚓ Zorin_OS_18.1_released,_new_Lite_edition_available_-_OMG!_Ubuntu⠀⇛ Zorin OS 18.1 is a point release update. It’s still based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS-based but adds a variety of desktop refinements, updated software and a new kernel (courtesy of the recent Ubuntu HWE from Canonical). A new Zorin OS Lite also launches today. This nimble edition is aimed at older, lower-spec hardware and is based around a customised Xfce desktop rather than the GNOME Shell desktop the main edition uses. If you already run Zorin OS 18 you can update to the 18.1 release directly (via Software Updater or running an apt update). If you’re on Zorin OS 17, use the direct upgrade tool in the Zorin Menu to avoid wiping your files and starting over. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1563 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/15/You_cannot_use_the_GNU_A_GPL_to_take_software_freedom_away.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/15/You_cannot_use_the_GNU_A_GPL_to_take_software_freedom_away.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ You cannot use the GNU (A)GPL to take software freedom away⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 15, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇The_(A)GPL_was_designed_to_give_freedom,_not_take_it_away⦈_ Quoting: You cannot use the GNU (A)GPL to take software freedom away — The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is the steward of the GNU family of General Public Licenses (GPL), which were carefully drafted to ensure that copyright holders have a tool to release programs as free software, protecting and preserving the freedoms of computer users. The FSF has always allowed everyone to use our licenses as intended, in line with the core principles of free software — to ensure that users have the freedom to run, copy, study, change, improve, and distribute software. We are always happy to see more programs properly released under one of our licenses, and favor compliance and constructive dialogue in our approach to resolving licensing issues. Read_on LWN: * ⚓ FSF_clarifies_its_stance_on_AGPLv3_additional_terms⠀⇛ OnlyOffice CEO Lev Bannov has recently claimed that the Euro- Office fork of the OnlyOffice suite violates the GNU Affero General Public License version 3 (AGPLv3). Krzysztof Siewicz of the Free Software Foundation (FSF) has published an article on the FSF's position on adding terms to the AGPLv3. In short, Siewicz concludes that OnlyOffice has added restrictions to the license that are not compatible with the AGPLv3, and those restrictions can be removed by recipients of the code. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣮⣭⣙⡻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠛⢋⣉⣠⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣭⣟⡻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠉⢀⣀⣤⣶⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣭⣉⠙⠛⠻⠿⢿⣿⣿⣶⣯⣽⣛⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⢉⣀⣤⣴⣶⣶⣿⠿⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⣀⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣀⡀⠀⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠉⠀⢀⣀⣤⣴⣶⠿⠟⠛⠉⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡛⠿⢿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣀⡀⠀⠉⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠶⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⢀⣀⣠⣤⣶⠾⠟⠛⠉⢁⣀⣤⣶⣾⡿⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⣀⠀⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣦⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣴⠶⠞⠛⠋⠉⢀⣠⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⡿⢿⡋⠥⠐⠈⠛⠛⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣀⡀⠀⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠐⢺⣿⣿⠿⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⣀⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⢿⣛⡭⠵⠚⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣉⡉⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣦⣤⣉⡛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠈⣉⣥⣶⣿⣿⡿⠟⢋⣁⣤⠴⠒⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣮⣭⣻⣿⣿⣶⣮⣝⣛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠵⠚⠛⠉⠀⠀⣀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠉⠁⠠⠴⠟⠛⠉⠁⠉⠁⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡻⢿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣭⣶⣶⣤⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1640 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/15/Zorin_OS_18_1_Boosts_Windows_App_Support_by_40_Improves_Window_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/15/Zorin_OS_18_1_Boosts_Windows_App_Support_by_40_Improves_Window_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Zorin OS 18.1 Boosts Windows App Support by 40%, Improves Window Tiling⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Apr 15, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Zorin_OS_18.1⦈_ Zorin OS 18.1 comes six months after Zorin OS 18 with an up-to-date base from the Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS (Noble Numbat) operating system, featuring the Linux 6.17 HWE (Hardware Enablement) kernel and Mesa 25.2 graphics stack, as well as the latest LibreOffice 26.2 office suite.
