I wanted to see how far I could get using a Linux PC as my main computer without doing a bunch of research beforehand or troubleshooting afterwards. Since then I have booted into Windows exactly twice: once to scan a multipage document that wasn’t scanning right in Linux, and once to print a photo for my kids’ school on extremely short notice. There’s a reason it’s taken me three months to write the next installment in my Linux diary: nothing has gone horribly wrong.

Since Plasma 6.6, you can enable automatic brightness in the display settings… let’s take a look at how it works, and why it took so long to make it happen. This is where the problems start - most laptops unfortunately don’t come with a brightness sensor, and there’s effectively no monitors that have a built-in sensor either (let alone one that can be accessed by the connected PC). While it’s possible to buy or build a brightness sensor that connects via USB, brightness control for external monitors usually has limitations in how often we can safely adjust the brightness… So for quite some time, there was noone working on Plasma that had the combination of hardware, motivation and knowledge to do something about it. Luckily, the Framework Laptop 13 comes with a brightness sensor, so on the hardware side I was all set...

He’s a Linux Foundation Fellow and has worked on a wide range of kernel subsystems including USB, staging, driver core, tty, and sysfs. His importance comes from maintenance, reliability, and scale rather than a single end-user application. After a new mainline Linux kernel is released, important fixes are backported into stable and longterm branches. This work is vital for distributions, hardware vendors, cloud providers, embedded systems, and everyday users who need dependable kernels without tracking every new mainline release. Greg’s role is especially significant because stable kernel maintenance is demanding, high-pressure work. It requires careful judgement about which fixes should be backported, how they interact with older code, and whether they might introduce regressions. It’s the kind of work most users never see, but millions of systems benefit from it. His contribution also extends beyond stable releases. He created udev and the Linux Driver Project, has maintained key parts of the kernel, and has written widely about Linux kernel development. His work has helped improve hardware support, driver integration, contributor guidance, and the overall health of the Linux development process. * ⚓ PiPedal_-_guitar_effect_pedal_for_Raspberry_Pi_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ PiPedal turns a Raspberry Pi into a guitar effects pedal that you can configure and control from a phone, tablet, or desktop browser.

This is free and open source software. * ⚓ 12_Useful_Free_and_Open_Source_Binary_Analysis_Tools_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ This software helps turn opaque binary data into something understandable. It’s mainly used by security researchers, malware analysts, firmware specialists, forensic investigators, and developers who need to understand how compiled software works beneath the surface. A major purpose of this software is identification. Analysts often need to determine what kind of file they’re dealing with, how it was built, whether it has been compressed or packed, and what format or platform it targets. This initial inspection helps guide the rest of the analysis and can quickly reveal whether a file is ordinary, unusual, damaged, or deliberately obfuscated. Another important area is extraction. Binary images can contain hidden file systems, compressed resources, embedded executables, configuration files, media assets, or other bundled components. Extraction tools make it possible to unpack these layers and examine the individual parts, which is particularly useful for firmware research, embedded systems analysis, and digital forensics. * ⚓ JGEX_-_construct,_explore_and_prove_geometry_theorems_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Java Geometry Expert, also known as JGEX, is a Java application for constructing, exploring, and proving geometry theorems.

I can listen to whatever I want, wherever I want. I’m not limited to whatever I loaded up on the Y1 the last time I hooked it up to my computer. I also don’t have another device to carry around, something just begging to be left behind at the library or cafe. * ⚓ FileBrowser Quantum ☛ FileBrowser_Quantum_Documentation⠀⇛ The best free self-hosted web-based file manager with source configuration, modern authentication, office support, and lightning-fast search. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers/Feed Readers⠀➾ o ⚓ [Old] Major Hayden ☛ Connect_Caddy_to_Porkbun⠀⇛ I recently told a coworker about Caddy, a small web and proxy server with a very simple configuration. It also has a handy feature where it manages your TLS certificate for you automatically. However, one problem I had at home with my CoreOS deployment is that I don’t have inbound network access to handle the certificate verification process. Most automated certificate vendors need to reach your web server to verify that you have control over your domain. This post talks about how to work around this problem with domains registered at Porkbun. o ⚓ [Old] Jordan CookCooks ☛ Caddy_DNS_challenge_and_Porkbun⠀⇛ Today, I decided to test this out with my domain registrar Porkbun's hosted DNS via their API. Thankfully, someone has recently published a Caddy plugin for Porkbun - although their README is incorrect and I have PRed a fix, it seems to work great after some propagation delays. I set up the global option in Caddyfile for Porkbun, as I know any workloads deployed locally will not be internet- accessible. In the future, I may split between Porkbun DNS for local resources and Cloudflare for internet- facing ones, to take advantage of Cloudflare's WAF services. o ⚓ [Old] Jeffrey Wong ☛ HTTPS_on_Internal_Network_(Local)_Domain⠀⇛ I decided to set up a server on my home network to do a variety of things. Since it’s to be shared with other family members, it’s best to use something easy to remember like a domain name. However, as I soon discovered, setting up a domain on my internal network with HTTPS is not straightforward. For example, we can’t directly use Let’s Encrypt as the server is only available on an internal network. So no computers outside the network will be able to reach the server, including the Let’s Encrypt server to validate the domain for SSL purposes. This is a set of notes of what I did to make this feat possible. I hope this helps you out. In the following steps, I assume you already have Ubuntu installed on your server, you have access to the server via SSH or physical access, and you can do basic tasks on Ubuntu like installing programs, creating directories, etc. * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ Tim Kellogg ☛ Shared_Nothing_Engineering⠀⇛ Have you ever partitioned a database table? The idea is, if a table is receiving too much traffic, you can split the table into 2 parts (partitions) and each table only needs to handle half the traffic. Then you relocate those partitions onto different computers, and voila! Scale. 10 partitions = 10x the traffic. * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Saneef H Ansari ☛ Sunsets_eleventy-plugin-img2picture⠀⇛ Following the spirit of Eleventy maintainers meticulously reducing third-party dependencies, I urge folks to use the official Image plugin. Today, I’m marking my plugin on NPM repository as deprecated. * § FSF / Software Freedom / Digital Sovereignty⠀➾ o ⚓ Ben Werdmuller ☛ The_world_is_not_a_database⠀⇛ And yes: computers should support people. People shouldn’t support computers. The idea that we’ll all be left behind if we don’t pour our experiences, information, source material, communications, creativity, and all the rest of it into a computer system is absurd and offensive. By extracting that experience, flattening it, and changing ownership of it, it inherently devalues us, the humans who were its previous custodians. It certainly devalues labor, which is a problem in itself, but it also devalues all of the frictionful, living, breathing parts of being an actual human being. * § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ o § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ Rlang ☛ Hourly_Subway_Station_Flows⠀⇛ The New York City Subway system is very large and carries a lot of passengers every day. The MTA makes quite a bit of data available about the subway, including data on hourly flow through the system. Now, the MTA can’t track individual pathways people take through the subway. If you use an OMNY card (or before that, a Metrocard) to enter the system, this signals the start of a trip from some specific station or station complex. But unlike some systems, you don’t need to “tag out” of the subway, you just exit through a turnstile. So the system doesn’t know where you exit it. In addition, while many stations are just on a single line, some (like 34 St/Penn Station, or Fulton Street) are station complexes that serve many lines and allow transfers between them. However, the MTA does publish hourly Origin- Destination estimates for all pairs of stations. These are their best guess about the flow of traffic from any particular station to any other. Because there are so many combinations, visualizing that sort of data is quite tricky. Even then, you don’t get information about routes through the system, just start and end points. Transit analysts and planners can go further by introducing some further assumptions about Subway users. For example we might assume that commuters take the most efficient route between any given pair of entry and exit stations, and build from there to a picture of flow through the system. o § Open Access/Content⠀➾ # ⚓ BoingBoing ☛ Tempest_arcade_source_code⠀⇛ TEMPEST vs TEMPEST is a free book about two of the strangest-looking arcade games ever made. The first is Dave Theurer's Tempest from 1981, the Atari cabinet where you spun a metal knob to rotate around the rim of a glowing geometric tube, shooting spiders and flippers as they crawled up toward you. The game was drawn with bright neon lines on a black screen instead of regular pixels, which is why everything in Tempest looks like it's glowing from inside. The second game is Jeff Minter's Tempest 2000 from 1994, a remake for the Atari Jaguar that kept the tube and the shooting but wrapped it all in a psychedelic techno freakout. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ BSDly ☛ That_grumpy_BSD_guy:_The_implementation_of_the_Carrier Pigeon_Internet_Protocol,_RFC1149,_25_years_later⠀⇛ Good evening. My name is Peter Hansteen. I was part of the project group at the Bergen Linux User Group which was the first, and to my knowledge the only group to implement and test Internet communications via avian carriers as specified in the internet draft standard called RFC 1149. o ⚓ [Old] Richard Green ☛ Accessible_UML_Diagrams⠀⇛ Back in January (how has it been two months already!?), I was working on the UML diagrams for my Kindle Display post and realized I had no idea how to make them accessible for screen readers. For those who don’t know, UML (Unified Modeling Language) is a specification for creating visual diagrams to explain computer systems and code. Specifically, I was making UML Sequence diagrams which are images used to explain how data flows around a system. o ⚓ Alexandru Scvorțov ☛ What_the_hell_is_a_decibel?⠀⇛ Decibels come up often in digital audio and I’ve always found them to be confusing. In this post, I try to explain what decibels are and more importantly, how they’re used in practice. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1256 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/26/Games_Steam_Focus_and_GNU_Linux.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/26/Games_Steam_Focus_and_GNU_Linux.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Steam Focus and GNU/ Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 26, 2026 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Steam_Beta_gets_battery_indicator_for_wireless_gamepads as_the_new_Steam_Controller_nears_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ We're hopefully not too far off the release of the new Steam Controller now, with Valve adding a battery indicator for wireless gamepads. A very useful feature, that I am surprised wasn't actually an official thing already. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ Esoteric_Ebb:_Discotastic!_In_Review⠀⇛ Find out who blew up the Tea Shop in Esoteric Ebb, a noir fantasy CRPG with *intricate political trama**.

automatic theme switching. When there is plenty of light during the day I like to use a white theme. At night, I like to use a dark theme. Most Desktop Environments have some way to configure this switch to happen automatically. On Omarchy it turns out to be trivial to implement as well. * § Kernel Space / File Systems / Virtualization⠀➾ o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ More_ancient_Linux_device_support_facing_the ax⠀⇛ Also up for the chop are some newer – but still over two decade old – cards: the Hamachi and Yellowfin PCI gigabit adaptors. The AX.25 and HAM Radio drivers are also slated to go, as is Asynchronous Transfer Mode networking. This vulture remembers when ATM was still being promoted as 'the strongest choice for public and private network interconnectivity', despite the rapid rise of TCP/IP in the late 1990s. So much for that. The writing was on the wall at least 15 years ago, when this vulture removed the ATM card and associated drivers from a client's PC who had just moved back to London from Singapore. ISDN CAPI support looks set to go, as well, including over Bluetooth. Linux benchmarking and news site Phoronix reckons just the Ethernet devices will remove nearly 30,000 lines of code. * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ Neowin ☛ Niri_26.04_lands_with_long-awaited_blur_support⠀⇛ Niri is one of the fastest-growing window managers out there, and the new version, 26.04, brings (among other improvements) support for the ext-background-effect Wayland protocol. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Neowin ☛ Good_news_for_defective_chip_maker_Intel_users_as KDE_adds_support_for_a_feature_AMD_users_have_had_for_a while⠀⇛ The KDE team has released their usual "This Week in Plasma" update, covering many new features coming to Plasma, including one that defective chip maker Intel GPU users will appreciate. o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ Jakub Steiner ☛ Revert_That_Vector_Nonsense!⠀⇛ A few years back I did a quick exploration of what GNOME app icons might look like in an alternate universe where we kept on using VGA displays. Chiselling pixels away is therapeutic. So while there is absolutely no use for these, I keep on making them if only to bring some attention to what really matters for GNOME, having nice apps. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1496 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/26/I_tested_the_3_most_popular_Linux_distros_of_April_2026_here_s_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/26/I_tested_the_3_most_popular_Linux_distros_of_April_2026_here_s_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ I tested the 3 most popular Linux distros of April 2026—here's how I rank them⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 26, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇The_community-based_Linux_popularity_chart⦈_ Quoting: I tested the 3 most popular Linux distros of April 2026, here's how I rank them — The top three Linux distros on DistroWatch right now are CachyOS, Linux Mint, and MX Linux. I tested all three to understand what makes each one tick and who each one is really built for. One of them is for performance-obsessed users, one is for people tired of Windows, and one is quietly doing something most distros can't.

When most people think “Commodore 64”, they likely picture a dark brown keyboard similar to later VIC-20 machines. This unit was sold in Aldi in Germany, and unlike the later 64G, had a double-shot keyboard with PETSCII characters printed on the front. My unit would have originally been a charcoal grey colour, but it’s developed an oddly pleasing Farmers Union Iced Coffee patina which I can’t bring myself to retrobright. I expect South Australians get that reference, and nobody else. * ⚓ LinuxStans ☛ Framework’s_Ubuntu_Laptops_Are_Outselling_Windows-And That’s_Not_Supposed_to_Happen⠀⇛ Remember when every laptop manufacturer swore up and down that “nobody wants GNU/Linux pre-installed”? * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ Framework_Laptop_13_Pro:_Major_Upgrades_and_Linux_Front and_Center⠀⇛ Framework is well known for its repairable laptops for several years now. They produce quality hardware that is easy to upgrade too, with some minor annoyances: hinges that tend to be a little weak, poor quality speakers, and relatively short battery life. So you get a lot of positives, with some aspects that you have to compromise with. But the time of trade-offs may reach an end. Framework has announced on the 21st of April 2026 its new hardware projects, and the most relevant one is their new Framework Laptop 13 Pro. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1674 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/26/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/26/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 26, 2026 * ⚓ Uğur Erdem Seyfi ☛ No,_Even_JavaScript_Has_Types⠀⇛ I sometimes see people say that programming languages like JavaScript, PHP, and Perl not having types. Well, it’s simply not true. As long as your programming language has an internal way to answer “what kind of value is this,” it has types. Which means almost all of the mainstream programming languages you have heard of are already typed! * ⚓ Chris Wellons ☛ I_have_officially_retired_from_Emacs⠀⇛ This past Tuesday I typed C-x C-c in Emacs for the last time after 20 years of daily use. Though nearly half that time was gradually retiring it, switching to modal editing, then to Vim. Emacs is a platform, and I’d grown accustomed to its applications, especially those I built myself. There was no particular hurry, so replacements came slowly. With my newly- acquired superpowers I could knock out the last two pieces in a few days’ work, namely M-x calc with stackcalc and Elfeed with Elfeed2. I’m especially excited about the latter because it already exceeds the original. Both are multi-platform, native C++ GUI applications using native UI components. * ⚓ Chris Coyier ☛ AI_&_Alignment⠀⇛ I also think getting a bunch of humans in alignment is just a thing that takes time. It should be a bottleneck. I’ll forever think of Dave’s “Slow, like brisket.” Some things becomes good because they are done slowly, and it’s OK if software is one of them. * ⚓ Julia Language Blog Aggregator ☛ TestItems_–_Modern_Julia_testing⠀⇛ TestItems is a modern testing framework for Julia allowing parallel testing, isolation, setup steps, and filtering. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-04-16_[Older]_Compiling_Google::ProtocolBuffers:: Dynamic_on_Debian_Trixie⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-04-14_[Older]_This_week_in_PSC_(221)_|_2026-04-13⠀⇛ * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Redowan Delowar ☛ Go_quirks:_function_closures_capturing_mutable references⠀⇛ Calling it a footgun would be a bit disingenuous. Closures had to capture something when they outlive their declaring function, and Go’s designers picked capture-by- reference. That’s what lets closure-based counters and accumulators work. But a captured pointer reads through to its target on every call, so any later write shows up in the closure. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1761 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/26/RakuOS_Linux_2026_04_15_Release_Announcement.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/26/RakuOS_Linux_2026_04_15_Release_Announcement.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ RakuOS Linux (2026.04.15) — Release Announcement⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 26, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇RakuOS⦈_ RakuOS Linux (2026.04.15) is a major release and our last major update for the Fedora 43 base as we begin to move towards Fedora 44, introducing our first COSMIC desktop edition ISO, a new live ISO installation experience, and full Rust rewrites of our core desktop applications.

When I have fallen back to top, htop, or even the more preferred iotop, the best I get is data relating to CPU and memory usage, with no real insight into what the failing process is actually doing. At such times, it's not enough to know that something is wrong. I usually want to see why. The strace -p command has made a real difference. Once I attach it to a running process, it shows every call that process makes.

Specifically, all of the GRUB stuff and much of the complicated DHCP stuff is there because we have to load the installer's kernel and initial ramdisk. Our primary usage for UEFI network installs is to reinstall physical servers that are now in inconvenient locations, so eventually it occurred to me that if we already have running Linux systems, there are simpler ways to boot into a specific kernel and initramfs with specific command line arguments. One way is to add new GRUB boot entries, and another way is kexec. * ⚓ [Repeat] Linux Mint ☛ Monthly_News_–_March_2026_–_The_Linux_Mint_Blog⠀⇛ The following decisions were made: • Linux Mint will adopt a longer development lifecycle. • The next release is planned for Christmas 2026. • Linux Mint will use the same installer as LMDE (i.e. “live- installer”). What hasn’t been decided yet is the release strategy itself: the length of the cycle, whether minor releases are frozen (like the point releases in Mint 22.x) or backported/semi- rolling (as in LMDE), and whether we will introduce alpha releases. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2395 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/26/Videos_Recent_Shows_or_Clips_About_GNU_Linux_and_Free_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/26/Videos_Recent_Shows_or_Clips_About_GNU_Linux_and_Free_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Videos: Recent Shows or Clips About GNU/ Linux and Free Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 26, 2026 * ⚓ 2026-04-14_[Older]_🔴_Moving_to_Local_LLMs,_Selfhosting,_and_Arch_Linux ARM_Build⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-13_[Older]_I_Used_Linux_for_8_Years:_Here's_What_They_Don't Tell_You⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-19_[Older]_Germany's_moving_to_Open_Source,_Age_verification gets_worse_-_Linux_weekly_News⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-18_[Older]_OPEN_SOURCE_alternatives_for_the_MOST_POPULAR productivity_apps_(2026_edition)⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-18_[Older]_I'm_Conflicted_About_Future_Of_Open_Source⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-18_[Older]_Hey,_DT!_Would_You_Use_Snaps_On_Ubuntu?⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-18_[Older]_Is_Artix_Linux_Just_A_Protest_Distro?⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-18_[Older]_Linux_Kernel_Would_Randomly_Explode_In_The_Past⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-18_[Older]_The_Linux_Kernel_Eliminated_This_Entire_C_Function⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-17_[Older]_Console_Hackers_Put_Linux_On_Everything⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-17_[Older]_Valve_Changes_Everything_For_Low_VRAM_GPUs_On Linux⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-17_[Older]_9_New_Features_in_Fedora_44⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-17_[Older]_How_to_Upgrade_to_Fedora_44_from_43_Right_Now!⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-17_[Older]_🔴_New_Neovim,_Image_Projects,_OrangePi_800_Driver Creation,_Top_Distro_YT_Vid⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-17_[Older]_Manage,_Backup,_and_Restore_Flatpak_Apps_with Warehouse⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-16_[Older]_Almost_a_Linux_user,_but_no.⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-16_[Older]_KDE_Plasma_6.7_Is_Shaping_Up_To_Be_Amazing⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2470 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/26/What_They_Don_t_Want_You_to_Read.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/26/What_They_Don_t_Want_You_to_Read.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ What They Don't Want You to Read⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 26, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Jessica_Lewis_in_boat._Also_picture_of_sailboat._October 1900.⦈_ Lately my wife and I have been getting threats.

I would go so far as to say that it's the best OS I've ever used. That same day, I learned that Solus had a new release as well. Version 4.9 of Solus was released on April 18, and I opted to download the Budgie version of the OS. I've used the Budgie desktop many times and thought it would be a good comparison against Zorin OS. Why make this comparison? That's simple: I'm often asked which distribution is best suited for new users, and I always want to make sure I'm suggesting the right option. Because of that, I like to compare them -- such as when I compared Linux Mint to Zorin OS. As I was testing Solus, it dawned on me that this Linux distribution could be easily recommended to those who've never used the open- source operating system. The more I dug in, the more I embraced that proposition.
