This should provide AerynOS with slightly faster performance, better hardware support, and various other enhancements. One important thing to mention here is that, starting with this release, AerynOS now offers two alternative kernel options, namely linux-stable, which follows the latest stable kernel release with very few optimizations, and linux-gaming, which includes patches for handheld gaming and miscellaneous performance optimizations.

When GhostBSD was first released, it was based on FreeBSD. In 2018, the developers decided they would switch it up and rebase the OS on TrueOS. Then, in 2020, TrueOS called it quits, and GhostBSD decided to migrate back to FreeBSD. This shift was the right choice. First off, FreeBSD is an outstanding OS that has come a very long way. In fact, the latest FreeBSD was the first time I'd ever considered BSD as an option for everyday use. FreeBSD is rock-solid (like most BSDs) because it's a complete system. Unlike Linux, which only provides a kernel and drivers (with third parties adding the remaining bits), FreeBSD gives you everything.

Most of the time, the software takes the spotlight, but that has changed in the past few weeks, and not for pleasant reasons. TDF has revoked_foundation_membership_status from about 30 people who work for or have contracting status with Collabora. In response, Collabora has announced plans to focus on a "entirely new, cut-down, differentiated Collabora Office" project and reduce its involvement with LibreOffice. TDF's representatives claim that its actions were necessary to maintain the foundation's nonprofit status, while other community members assert that this is part of a power grab. The facts seem to indicate that there are legitimate issues to be addressed, but it is unclear that TDF needed to go so far as to disenfranchise all Collabora- affiliated contributors. § Membership and contribution Understanding the current dispute requires going into the weeds of the foundation's governance, and its relationship with Collabora. TDF is a Stiftung, a type of nonprofit foundation, that was incorporated in Berlin in 2012. The foundation's objective is to support the development of open-source office software and to promote its use. To facilitate that, TDF holds LibreOffice assets such as its trademarks, as well as funds to support development, put on community events, and so forth.

It’s a networking suite for DOS, including FreeDOS. It includes, but is not limited to: [...] * ⚓ Zed ☛ Zed_is_1.0⠀⇛ Owning every layer of our stack lets us take Zed places that no one building on borrowed foundations can go, but we knew from the beginning that it wasn't going to be an easy path. Thanks to years of hard work by our team and community, Zed is closer than ever to that ideal tool we set out to create. We've added a ton of capabilities while remaining true to our core ethos of craft and performance, and hundreds of thousands of developers now rely on Zed to ship software each day. That's part of what gives us the confidence to declare version 1.0. * ⚓ AI_is_the_final_frontier_of_Copyleft [Ed: Stefano Maffulli, who was paid by Microsoft to attack the GPL using slop apologism, is now doing this (he's in OIN, which protects software patents)]⠀⇛ By democratizing the ability to write, refactor, and understand code, AI provides the technical enforcement of the freedoms that the GPL could only provide legally. The first liberation gave us the code; the second liberation gives us the mastery of it. The “tyranny of the vendor” is finally meeting its match, not in a courtroom, but in the prompt. The hack is complete. * § Server⠀➾ o ⚓ Kubernetes Blog ☛ Kubernetes_v1.36:_Tiered_Memory_Protection_with Memory_QoS⠀⇛ On behalf of SIG Node, we are pleased to announce updates to the Memory QoS feature (alpha) in Kubernetes v1.36. Memory QoS uses the cgroup v2 memory controller to give the kernel better guidance on how to treat container memory. It was first introduced in v1.22 and updated in v1.27. In Kubernetes v1.36, we're introducing: opt-in memory reservation, tiered protection by QoS class, observability metrics, and kernel-version warning for memory.high. * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux Links ☛ AetherSDR_–_Linux-native_client_for_FlexRadio Systems_transceivers⠀⇛ AetherSDR is a Linux-native client for FlexRadio Systems transceivers that communicates directly using the SmartSDR protocol. o ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Good_News!_AI-first_Warp_Terminal_is_Now_Open_Source [Ed: Good News?

Here is a summary of the news and insights we gained at the event. * § FSF / Software Freedom / Digital Sovereignty⠀➾ o ⚓ Pedro ☛ On_self-hosting⠀⇛ I think I’m done trying to self-host things for now. I have lots of small (and not so small) apps that I’d like to self-host, especially because many of the apps you use nowadays have shifted from being something you download and install to something you need to host somewhere. Either in some company cloud, where you pay a subscription fee, or something free and open source. And there are lots of things like that I’d like to host. But every time I plan for that, it never quite works out. The main reason? Time. * § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ o § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ RFA ☛ Satellite_imagery_reveals_increased_activity_at_North Korean_nuclear_complex⠀⇛ The imagery shows new buildings and plumes of steam in previously inactive areas of the complex, which lies roughly 90 kilometers (56 miles) north of the capital. o § Open Access/Content⠀➾ # ⚓ Ted Nyman ☛ High_Performance_Git⠀⇛ High Performance Git: PDF Edition ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1119 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/30/Games_Python_Tetris_Counter_Strike_2_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/30/Games_Python_Tetris_Counter_Strike_2_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Python, Tetris, Counter-Strike 2, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 30, 2026 * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Build_a_simple_quiz_game_in_Python⠀⇛ Believing the best way to learn programming is by doing it, author Sean McManus penned this tutorial showing you how to build a simple quiz, talking you through the code at an entry- level pace. Pass this article on to someone who is keen but unsure where to start on their coding journey. * ⚓ Jason Becker ☛ After_avoiding_trivia_for_a_long_time,_we_stumbled_into the_wrong_(right?)_bar⠀⇛ Elsa and I went to get some tacos down the street because we realized we had $16 of rewards in the Toast app. It turns out, Monday night is trivia night and this was the first night of a new 15 night season. * ⚓ Idiomdrottning ☛ Tetris_Plus,_level_84_(Game_Boy_version)⠀⇛ With slowmo+tapping, yes, I can beat it pretty consistenly. With only slomo or only tapping, I can’t. It seemed as if I was doing even worse with the tapping than holding actually since you need to tap in the right frame or something I dunno. I believe if I set up RetroArch to have turbofire on the D-pad (especially down), I might be able to do it without the slomo but I didn’t try that since I was like “okay yeah I can do it tool-assisted, I aready know that, I don’t need to try a different tool”. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Cache_arrives_in_Counter-Strike_2_while_Valve_continue working_on_ANIMGRAPH_2_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ A return of a classic, the popular Cache map has finally returned with the latest Counter-Strike 2 update that's out now. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ dbrand_of_course_already_have_Steam_Controller_skins_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Ahead of the public release of the new Steam Controller next week, dbrand have announced they've got skins ready for you to customize it.

It may begin inside the stack. France’s move away from Windows is an early signal that states are starting to recognize what the AI age makes unavoidable: digital dependence is no longer just an IT issue. It is a geopolitical condition. On 8 April 2026, the French government launched an interministerial drive to reduce “extra-European” digital dependencies, with DINUM—the state’s interministerial digital directorate—announcing its own shift from Windows to Linux and requiring ministries to submit reduction plans by autumn across workstations, collaboration tools, antivirus, artificial intelligence, databases, virtualization, and network equipment. Finance minister David Amiel cast the effort in blunt strategic terms: France must “regain control of our digital destiny.” * ⚓ PC Mag ☛ My_Old_Laptop_Was_Collecting_Dust._Here's_How_I_Turned_it_Into a_Chromebook⠀⇛ Advancements in software are happening faster than the hardware running it. This is how we end up with fully functional computers that are unable to run Windows 11 and vulnerable to security threats without extended support. The temptation during a good spring cleaning is to simply junk these artifacts, but even responsibly recycled electronics yield an unfortunate amount of waste. So, I thought, why not do the planet (and myself) a favor and transform my old computer into a Chromebook? Not only would I be slashing my e-waste, but a lighter OS like ChromeOS Flex can also cut energy use. Here's how I made it happen. o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ APNIC ☛ [Podcast]_CIDR_inside⠀⇛ Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) was introduced in the 1990s to replace the original fixed‑size network model defined in RFC 791. That earlier model divided IP address space into Class A, Class B, and Class C (there were also Classes D and E, but they’re not relevant here). # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ FLOSS_Weekly_Episode_869:_Linux_On_Your Toaster⠀⇛ This week Jonathan chats with Andrei, Mahir, and Praneeth, live on location at Texas Instruments! The team at TI has been working hard to provide really good Open Source support for Sitara processors, including upstreaming support to the mainline Linux kernel. We talk about the CI pipeline for these devices, the challenges of doing Open Source at a big company, and more. Check it out! o § Kernel Space / File Systems / Virtualization⠀➾ # ⚓ Klara ☛ Fast_Dedup_Economics_When_Dedup_Beats_Buying_New Disks⠀⇛ Modern storage growth isn’t just about adding disks anymore. With Fast Dedup in OpenZFS, organizations can dramatically reduce redundant data and extend existing capacity. This article explores when deduplication becomes the smarter financial decision—and what tradeoffs to consider. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Linux_cryptographic_code_flaw_offers_fast route_to_root⠀⇛ The kernel reads the page cache when it loads a binary, so modifying the cached copy amounts to altering the binary for the purpose of program execution. But doing so doesn't trigger any defenses focused on file system events like inotify. o § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ KDE ☛ KDE_at_30_-_KDE_Community⠀⇛ Most of our funds (70%!) come from private end users just like you. Become a Supporting Member and help ensure we receive a regular amount of money we can count on. This helps us plan and know what to expect for the next month, quarter, or year. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ Miod Vallat ☛ SPARC_frame_buffers⠀⇛ Around the year 2000, OpenBSD/i386 was still using the pcvt virtual terminal code, and I was considering porting it to sparc as ``sparcvt'', in order to get virtual console terminals and better keyboard support, as the existing sparc console code only supported a subset of the keyboard keys, from which the arrows keys and the numeric keypad of Sun type 4 and 5 keyboards were missing. # ⚓ OS News ☛ Apple_wants_to_kill_your_Time_Capsule,_but_they run_NetBSD_so_they_can’t⠀⇛ Thank your lucky stars, then, that open source can, as usual, come to the rescue when proprietary software vendors do what they always do and screw over their customers. Did you know every generation of Time Capsule actually runs NetBSD, and that it’s trivially easy to add support for Samba 4 and SMB3 authentication to your Time Capsule, thereby extending its life expectancy considerably? TimeCapsuleSMB does exactly that. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Enabling_Ubuntu_Pro_in_Security_Center_is super_easy⠀⇛ Ubuntu 26.04 LTS dropped the Software & Updates utility from default installs and added Ubuntu Pro settings to the Security Center app. But is the setup experience any better? The short answer is yes, mostly. The range of options still mirrors what was found in the old Software & Updates > Ubuntu Pro tab, but the layout is less cramped, with more room for concise explanations of what each setting and toggle does. Ubuntu Pro is free for personal use on up-to five devices. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⢻⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⡀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⠿⠿ ⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠉⠉⢻⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣝⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣽⣿⣏⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣿⡇⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣷⣾⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠐⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⠿⣛⡋⠉⠁⠀⣀⣀⡀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1414 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/30/Graphics_NVIDIA_595_71_05_and_NVIDIA_580_159_03_Released.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/30/Graphics_NVIDIA_595_71_05_and_NVIDIA_580_159_03_Released.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Graphics: NVIDIA 595.71.05 and NVIDIA 580.159.03 Released⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 30, 2026 * ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ NVIDIA_595.71.05_Released_with_Only_A_Single_Bug- Fix⠀⇛ NVIDIA announced new 595.71.05 version of production branch driver for Linux yesterday.

You'll need to stick with the 580 series if you're on an older NVIDIA GPU, as the 595 series dropped support for some including those on Maxwell, Pascal and Volta generations.

But I got restless, Pat is otherwise occupied for a few days so I took the plunge. What I am talking about is of course packaging KDE Gear 26.04.0 for Slackware. The latest release of Applications and KDEPIM is nicknamed the “KDE at 30″ edition because KDE is around for 30 years already (!). Congratulations are in order. The reason I wanted to wait for Pat is that the new Kleopatra release (part of KDEPIM) requires a version of gpgme which is not present in Slackware-current. I had hoped to see an upgrade to gpgme 2.x in Slackware first, followed by a rebuild of affected packages, which according to avid Slackware user gmgf aka Gérard Monpontet is at least: gmime, gpa, libcups-filters, mccabber, mutt, poppler, samba, volume_key, wget2 and labplot. But that did not happen, and I wanted to have a stable ‘ktown’ which is fully ported to Qt6 before my 65th birthday next week. Therefore I decided to trick Slackware by upgrading gpgme from 1.24.3 to 2.0.1 but not rebuilding all those other Slackware packages that depend on gpgme 1.24.3. Instead I added another package to ‘ktown’ called gpgme1 which contains all the libraries from the previous gpgme 1.24.3 package. Zero broken Slackware packages and I could finally move on with KDE Gear without having to wait for the upstream.

Now, there’s even a site called Keep Android Open, with a countdown to when the change will be enacted (currently 125 days), and an explanation of their issues with it. The site argues that “your phone is about to stop being yours”, as Google will be able to block you from installing apps that don’t come from verified developers. Google claims that this is to reduce the risk of people downloading malicious apps, and it probably will reduce that risk, but it comes with some clear downsides too. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1875 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/30/Linux_Mint_22_3_HWE_ISOs_Now_Available_for_Download_with_Linux_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/30/Linux_Mint_22_3_HWE_ISOs_Now_Available_for_Download_with_Linux_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Linux Mint 22.3 HWE ISOs Now Available for Download with Linux Kernel 6.17⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Apr 30, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Linux_Mint_22.3_HWE⦈_ Earlier this month, the Linux Mint project announced that they have decided to adopt a longer development cycle for future Linux Mint releases, starting with the upcoming Linux Mint 23 release, planned for Christmas 2026.

The scheduler developers have wanted to reduce the number of preemption modes for years, and lazy preemption looks like a step toward that goal. But then there came this report from Salvatore Dipietro that lazy preemption caused a 50% performance regression on a PostgreSQL benchmark. Investigation showed that the situation is not actually so grave, but the episode highlights just how sensitive some workloads can be to configuration changes; there may be surprises in store for other users as well. One of the key decisions a CPU scheduler must make is when to remove a running process from the CPU to allow another to run. Preempting processes quickly when there is higher-priority work to do can produce quicker response times and, thus, lower latency. Aggressive preemption comes with a cost, though, in terms of the overall throughput of the system. Rapid switching of tasks can lead to more scheduler overhead, worse cache utilization, and more lock contention. It is hard to find a solution that works for every workload, a fact that has made it hard to remove the variety of preemption modes from the scheduler. o ⚓ LWN ☛ The_first_half_of_the_7.1_merge_window_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ The 7.1 merge window opened on April 12 with the release of the 7.0 kernel. Since then, 3,855 non-merge changesets have been pulled into the mainline repository for the next release. This merge window is thus just getting started, but there has still been a fair amount of interesting work moving into the mainline. * § Security⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Dependency-cooldown_discussions_warm_up_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Efforts to introduce malicious code into the open-source supply chain have been on the rise in recent years, and there is no indication that they will abate anytime soon. These attacks are often found quickly, but not quickly enough to prevent the compromised code from being automatically injected into other projects or code deployed by users where it can wreak havoc. One method of avoiding supply-chain attacks is to add a delay of a few days before pulling updates in what is known as a "dependency cooldown". That tactic is starting to find favor with users and some language ecosystem package managers. While this practice is considered a reasonable response by many, others are complaining that those employing dependency cooldowns are free-riding on the larger community by letting others take the risk. o ⚓ LWN ☛ A_more_efficient_implementation_of_Shor's_algorithm_ [LWN.net]⠀⇛ Shor's algorithm is the main practical example of an algorithm that runs more quickly on a quantum computer than a classical computer — at least in theory. Shor's algorithm allows large numbers to be factored into their component prime factors quickly. In reality, existing quantum computers do not have nearly enough memory to factor interesting numbers using Shor's algorithm, despite decades of research. A new paper provides a major step in that direction, however. While still impractical on today's quantum computers, the recent discovery cuts the amount of memory needed to attack 256-bit elliptic- curve cryptography by a factor of 20. More interesting, however, is that the researchers chose to publish a zero- knowledge proof demonstrating that they know a quantum circuit that shows these improvements, rather than publishing the actual knowledge of how to do it. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2040 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/30/Microsoft_GitHub_Exodus_Technical_Failures_and_Slopfest.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/30/Microsoft_GitHub_Exodus_Technical_Failures_and_Slopfest.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Microsoft GitHub Exodus: Technical Failures and Slopfest⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 30, 2026 Note that weeks ago the_manager_of_GitHub_left.

Over my career, I’ve explored the depths of both extremes in an attempt to find my personal sweet spot for hacking. * ⚓ [Old] University of Michigan ☛ Exploratory_Experimental_Studies Comparing_Online_and_Offline_Programming_Performance [PDF]⠀⇛ Two exploratory experiments were conducted at Systems Development Corporation to compare debugging performance of programmers working under conditions of online and offline access to a computer. These are the first known studies that measure programmers' performance under controlled conditions for standard tasks. Statistically significant results of both experiments indicated faster debugging under online conditions, but perhaps the most important practical finding involves the strking individual differences in programmer performance. Methodological problkems encountered in designing and conducting these experiments are described; limitations of the findings are pointed out; hypotheses are presented to account for the results; and suggestions are made for further research. * ⚓ [Old] Jim Elliott ☛ The_Economic_Value_of_Rapid_Response_Time⠀⇛ In a pioneering article, inspired by Doherty's work, Arvind J. Thadhani, of IBM's San Jose Laboratory, suggests that the number of transactions a programmer completes in an hour increases noticeably as system response time falls, and rises dramatically once system response time falls below one second. To illustrate (Figure 2), with system response of three seconds, Thadhani found that a programmer executes about 180 transactions per hour. But, bring system response time down to 0.3 seconds and the number of transactions the programmer can execute in an hour jumps to 371, an increase of 106 percent. Put another way, a reduction of 2.7 seconds in system response saves 10.3 seconds of the user's time (Figure 3). This seemingly insignificant time saving is the springboard for sizable increases in productivity. * ⚓ [Old] Internet Archive ☛ The_Mythical_Man-Month_(Anniversary_Edition)⠀⇛ Few books on software project management have been as influential and timeless as The Mythical Man-Month. With a blend of software engineering facts and thought-provoking opinions, Fred Brooks offers insight for anyone managing complex projects. These essays draw from his experience as project manager for the IBM System/360 computer family and then for OS/360, its massive software system. Now, 20 years after the initial publication of his book, Brooks has revisited his original ideas and added new thoughts and advice, both for readers already familiar with his work and for readers discovering it for the first time. The added chapters contain (1) a crisp condensation of all the propositions asserted in the original book, including Brooks' central argument in The Mythical Man-Month: that large programming projects suffer management problems different from small ones due to the division of labor; that the conceptual integrity of the product is therefore critical; and that it is difficult but possible to achieve this unity; (2) Brooks' view of these propositions a generation later; (3) a reprint of his classic 1986 paper "No Silver Bullet"; and (4) today's thoughts on the 1986 assertion, "There will be no silver bullet within ten years." * ⚓ Julien Voisin ☛ Carrot_disclosure:_Forgejo⠀⇛ I discussed the conundrum with a friend of mine, and was told to put my money where my mouth is, and just go with carrot disclosure that I usually advocate for in this kind of situation: [...] * ⚓ One Happy Fellow ☛ The_Subprime_Technical_Debt_Crisis⠀⇛ Technical debt should excite you. Deciding to accrue technical debt means there's such a large opportunity in front of you that it's worth sacrificing the short-term quality of the codebase, making the life harder for you and your fellow devs for a while just to capture it. You don't want to let it slip. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Perl ☛ Welcome_to_the_Perl_Toolchain_Summit_2026!⠀⇛ This is not the first time we're gathering in Vienna. Back in 2010, the third Perl QA Hackathon was held in Vienna, and organized 100% locally. Nowadays, the Perl Toolchain Summit is organized in a distributed fashion, with a global team managing the invitations and the recurring sponsors, and the local team finding the venue, the hotel, and organizing the activities around the event (like the pre-conference meeting yesterday). So I'd like to begin with a big thank you to the Vienna team: [...] * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ logrittr:_A_Verbose_Pipe_Operator_for_Logging_dplyr Pipelines⠀⇛ R’s dplyr pipelines are silent. logrittr fills that gap with %>=%, a drop-in pipe that logs row counts, column counts, added/dropped columns, and timing at every step, with no function masking. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ Jeff Dickey ☛ Going_Full_Time_on_Open_Source⠀⇛ To keep this sustainable I’m doing it under a company: en.dev. Right now that means one person — me — working full time on mise and the rest of the portfolio. If the funds grow enough, the plan is to bring on a second maintainer so mise keeps a bus factor above 1. * § Python, Rust, and Slop⠀➾ o ⚓ Pimoroni ☛ Grab_a_MicroPython_Birthday_Discount!⠀⇛ Developed by Australian programmer Damien George, MicroPython is a version of Python 3 for microcontrollers. George's first line of private MicroPython code was written on April 29, 2013 and we're marking this momentous event with some deep discounts on your favourite MicroPython boards. o ⚓ LWN ☛ Using_LLMs_to_find_Python_C-extension_bugs⠀⇛ The open-source world is currently awash in reports of LLM-discovered bugs and vulnerabilities, which makes for a lot more work for maintainers, but many of the current crop are being reported responsibly with an eye toward minimizing that impact. A recent report on an effort to systematically find bugs in Python extensions written in C has followed that approach. Hobbyist Daniel Diniz used Claude Code to find more than 500 bugs of various sorts across nearly a million lines of code in 44 extensions; he has been working with maintainers to get fixes upstream and his methodology serves as a great example of how to keep the human in the loop—and the maintainers out of burnout—when employing LLMs. o ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Anaconda_acquires_Outerbounds_to_rein_in_the buggy_code_AI_agents_keep_shipping⠀⇛ In addition, this move signals a broader inflection point in how enterprise software is built. AI-generated code now accounts for nearly half of all new code in enterprise pipelines, Anaconda indicates based on analysis. Yet that code produces 1.7 times as many defects as human-written code, and 80% of dependencies recommended by AI coding assistants pose known security risks, the company says. o ⚓ Corrode.dev ☛ Bugs_Rust_Won't_Catch⠀⇛ If you write systems code in Rust, this is the most concentrated look at where Rust’s safety ends that you’ll likely find anywhere right now. o ⚓ Trail of Bits ☛ Extending_Ruzzy_with_LibAFL⠀⇛ LibAFL is all the rage in the fuzzing community these days, especially with LLVM’s libFuzzer being placed in maintenance mode. Written in Rust, LibAFL claims improved performance, modularity, state-of-the-art fuzzing techniques, and libFuzzer compatibility. For these reasons, I set out to add LibAFL support to Ruzzy, our coverage-guided fuzzer for pure Ruby code and Ruby C extensions. This gives Ruby developers and security researchers access to a more advanced and actively maintained fuzzing engine without changing how they write their fuzzing harnesses. o ⚓ LWN ☛ One_Sized_trait_does_not_fit_all⠀⇛ In Rust, types either possess a constant size known at compile time, or a dynamically calculated size known at run time. [...] The two existing categories of type, colloquially called "sized" and "unsized", might seem to cover all of the possibilities. Unfortunately, some architectures are quite strange. For example, BPF programs can use "compile once — run everywhere" (CO-RE) relocations to adapt programs to different kernel versions. In such a program, the size and layout of a structure may be unknown at compile time, but effectively static at run time. This puts those structures between Rust's existing classes: accesses can't be reduced to offsets at compile time, but some of the same optimizations used for static offsets apply. Currently, Rust programs targeting BPF are simply not allowed to use CO-RE relocations — a substantial limitation that the Rust developers would like to relax if possible. Another example comes from the vector extensions for Arm and RISC-V. These extensions define "single instruction, multiple data" (SIMD) instructions that operate over registers of a CPU-dependent size; the same instruction could correspond to 128-bit, 256-bit, or 512-bit registers depending on the specific CPU being used. Rust has support for working with these extensions through some built-in functions, but could potentially generate better code by exploiting the fact that the size of the relevant registers doesn't change at run time. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2695 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/30/Red_Hat_s_Latest_Slop_Promotion_and_Other_Blog_Posts.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/30/Red_Hat_s_Latest_Slop_Promotion_and_Other_Blog_Posts.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat's Latest Slop Promotion and Other Blog Posts⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 30, 2026 * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Boosting_speed:_Use_eBPF_and_netstacklat_to_troubleshoot latency⠀⇛ Needless waiting is annoying. It gets in the way of what we're trying to do, and slows everything down. This is especially true for computer applications. There are few things worse than being met with a splash screen that loads endlessly when you are trying to get something done, or working with an application that doesn't react immediately to mouse or keyboard input. An application that does this is said to lag, using the colloquial term for latency that has become part of our everyday vocabulary. For commercial web sites, making customers wait needlessly results in a measurable loss of customer business, as Surveillance Giant Google and Amazon first discovered almost_20_years_ago. Since then, several more recent studies unsurprisingly indicate we haven't gotten any more patient in the intervening decades. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Using_NVIDIA_Aerial_CUDA-Accelerated_RAN_on_Red_Hat OpenShift_to_accelerate_development_of_AI-native_5G_and_6G_RAN_solutions [Ed: Slop promotions which benefits a circular financing pyramid scheme]⠀⇛ Red Hat has demonstrated another milestone in this evolution, running the recently open sourced version of the NVIDIA Aerial CUDA-Accelerated RAN stack on Red Hat OpenShift.

Gaming snags, repo issues, broken networking and unattended upgrades complications, KVM module nonsense. In a way, the charger going a-wonk is the least of my woes, because such things can happen. The software side of things is less excusable. Remember, I'm using an LTS. And it's not even 24.04, it's the older 22.04. Effectively, four years down the road, we still have tons of unnecessary issues that shouldn't affect the supposedly stable long- term release. I mean, seriously. That said, I was happy to be able to resolve all of these, most of all, my Steam Proton and much needed ArmA 3 compatibility. For some reason, this calmed me down, and made the whole endeavor easier to cope with. Yes, I did somewhat complicate my own life with the IRQ masking, then again, I wouldn't be doing it if not for the silly system freezes as a pointless consequence of various firmware and kernel patches. Also, having charger issues isn't quite something you would expect. But here we are. All in all, I'm cautiously happy. And with that, I'd like to conclude my ninth report. Stay tuned for the updates. Hopefully, one day, I will also be able to get Assetto Corsa running. Because, other than that, in between the glitches and the regressions, my Titan setup is quite cushty. Complicated but nice. An eventful article, as promised. Anyway, see ya. Bye bye for now, me hearties.

With some caveats though, it only works on the "PS5 Phat" (the original PlayStation 5 model) across a few different firmware versions. Read_on Also: * ⚓ Your_PS5_can_now_transform_into_a_Linux_PC_|_The_Verge⠀⇛ A developer has created a method to get Linux running on some versions of Sony’s PlayStation 5 console. Andy Nguyen previously showed off a ported version of Ubuntu running PC games on a PS5 last month, and he’s now published the installation steps on GitHub this week. This is a soft mod, so it won’t persist between power downs or restarts, but the Linux installation will let you play PC games once it’s up and running. So far we’ve seen GTA V running with enhanced ray tracing at 60fps in Ubuntu on a PS5, as well as Spider-Man running at 1440p resolution and 60fps. Nguyen is relying on a patched vulnerability to transform a PS5 into a Linux PC, which means this exploit only works on disc- based PS5 consoles running older 3.xx or 4.xx firmware versions. The latest 5.xx versions of firmware aren’t supported yet. “Support for 1.xx and 2.xx firmwares may be added in the future, but we will not prioritize this effort,” says Nguyen. * ⚓ Linux_now_Officially_Available_for_PlayStation_5_|_TechPowerUp⠀⇛ Hot on the heels of the news of Sony's new DRM that earned significant community backlash, Andy Nguyen, the developer who previously showed off running a full Linux installation on a PlayStation 5, has officially published their methodology and necessary steps to get the open-source operating system running on Sony's console. The hack requires a PS5 disc version running firmware version 3.00, 3.10, 3.20, 3.21, and 4.00, 4.02, 4.03, 4.50, 4.51, and there is only support for the M.2 drive in the 4.XX versions at the time of writing. There are supposedly ways to downgrade the PS5 firmware to one of the versions that still supports the hack, but those may not always work reliably. If you've followed the jailbreak steps, injected the payload and rebooted back into Linux, you should be greeted by a full Ubuntu 26.04 Resolute Raccoon installation, replete with the Linux kernel 7. Interestingly, the PS5 Linux installation is quite full- featured, replete with custom VRAM allocation, fan control, and a boost mode toggling—all from within the terminal or a text file, of course. There are some caveats, and driver development is still ongoing—wireless networking, for example, may require you to manually restart the WLAN adaptor to work. The Sony DualSense controllers also don't currently work via the built- in dongle, although they do with an external dongle. The output refresh rate is also limited to 60 Hz across 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions, although 120 Hz may be added later. The biggest limitation, however, is that it is a soft mod, meaning that if you restart the PS5 while in the Linux desktop, it will not boot back into the environment unless you apply the same jailbreak again. The upside of that is that the PlayStation 5's base OS isn't affected by the Linux installation, so if you want to go back to using it as a regular PS5, you can just reboot. * ⚓ PS5_Linux_loader_goes_public,_turning_‘Phat’_consoles_into_full_Linux PCs_—_build_script_includes_bootable_Ubuntu_24.04_image,_can_output_4K games_at_60_FPS⠀⇛ Security engineer Andy Nguyen, known online as TheFlow, has publicly released ps5-linux on GitHub: a complete toolchain for booting Linux on PlayStation 5 Phat consoles running firmware versions 3.xx through 4.xx. The project, which Nguyen demonstrated running GTA V Enhanced Edition via a proof-of- concept in March, is now a documented, reproducible process that anyone with compatible hardware can follow. The release includes a Linux payload that exploits a patched hypervisor vulnerability, a build script that produces a bootable Ubuntu 24.04 image, tools for M.2 SSD installation, and a fan and CPU/GPU boost control utility. Nguyen credits several contributors, including c0w, resulknad, flatz, and the fail0verflow and ps5-payload-dev teams. Only PS5 Phat consoles on older firmware 3.00, 3.10, 3.20, 3.21, 4.00, 4.02, 4.03, 4.50, or 4.51 are supported, with Nguyen having said support for 1.xx and 2.xx may come later, but that it’s not a priority. Firmware 5.xx could eventually work, though Linux would run inside Sony's GameOS virtual machine with reduced performance and unknown limitations, while anything 6.xx or above is ruled out entirely. Users who want to downgrade or sideload a specific firmware version can do so using Sony's official reinstall process with the correct PUP file. * ⚓ Someone_modded_a_PS5_to_run_Linux_and_play_PC_games⠀⇛ It’s now possible to run Linux on a PS5, opening up the console to PC games, including PC versions of PlayStation exclusives like Marvel’s Spider-Man. Putting Linux on a PlayStation console has been a thing since the PS3 days. Really old version of the fat PS3, which was the original console and a little more open, were able to run Linux and other PC software for things like homebrew apps. This was until Sony patched the console with new firmware. * ⚓ This_PS5_Linux_Tool_Turns_Sony's_Console_Into_a_Linux-Powered_Gaming PC⠀⇛ Early last month, we showcased modder Andy Nguyen (@theflow0 on X) successfully playing Grand Theft Auto V: Enhanced Edition running under Ubuntu Linux on his own PlayStation 5. At the time, this was a private project, but Andy has since followed it up with the official release of PS5-Linux on GitHub, now making it possible for all owners of a fat (original model) PS5 running 3.XX or 4.XX firmware to run Ubuntu on the console. The official project page on GitHub notes the specific firmware configurations supported as "3.00, 3.10, 3.20, (and) 3.21" to run without M.2 support and firmware versions "4.00, 4.02, 4.03, 4.50, (and) 4.51" to run with M.2 support. Support for earlier firmware versions "may be added in the future" but will not will be prioritized, while 5.XX firmware is also under consideration but "may not perform as good" due to Ubuntu needing to run within the GameOS virtual machine and losing "unknown" features as a result. It's FOSS: * ⚓ Someone_Turned_a_PS5_Into_a_Linux_Gaming_PC,_and_It_Actually_Works⠀⇛ Linux gaming has been on a great trajectory these past few years. Proton turned a massive chunk of the Steam library into playable Linux titles thanks to Wine as its backbone, and purpose-built Linux gaming consoles are now a product category that actually exists. We recently covered the Playnix Console, a $1,179 Linux gaming machine from the EmuDeck team that ships with a custom Arch- based OS and boots straight into Steam's gaming mode. Today, we have a project that lets you run a Linux-powered operating system on Sony's PlayStation 5 console. OMG Ubuntu: * ⚓ Someone_got_Ubuntu_running_on_a_PS5_–_and_played_Steam_-_OMG!_Ubuntu⠀⇛ The hack is the work of security engineer Andy Nguyen, who this week announced a public release of his ps5-linux-boot project so more people can turn their “…PS5 Phat console on 3.xx and 4.xx [Firmware] into a fully functional Linux PC gaming device”. Obviously, this is all unofficial. The project exploits a patched hypervisor vulnerability to give Linux direct access to the PS5’s hardware – which with its eight Zen 2 CPU cores (16 threads) @ up to 3.5GHz, an RDNA 2 GPU @ up to 2.23GHz and 4K60 HDMI output, is quite a machine. Andy also shared a video running GTA V Enhanced with Ray Tracing, achieving a buttery smooth 60fps at 1440p with dynamic vram enabled. Interestingly, you’ll notice Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (Resolute Raccoon) is used in the demo, which means Andy’s PS5 is running a newer Ubuntu release than most of my actual computers. Gadgets 360: * ⚓ PS5_Linux_Loader_Gets_Public_Release,_Allowing_Users_to_Run_Steam_and PC_Games_on_Console_|_Technology_News⠀⇛ A security engineer has publicly released a PS5 Linux loader that essentially turns Sony's console into a PC that can run Steam games. The Linux loader, called ps5-linux, leverages a vulnerability in the original PS5 console to turn it into a Linux PC. The engineer claims the Linux loader on PS5 can run games at 4K, 60fps. Four more: * ⚓ A_New_Open_Source_Project_Can_Boot_Linux_on_Original_PS5_Hardware_With Full_Steam_Support⠀⇛ An open source project called ps5-linux has just dropped on GitHub, and it does exactly what it says on the tin: it turns a PlayStation 5 into a Linux gaming machine. There are caveats, but the scope of what it pulls off is genuinely impressive. The big one to know upfront is hardware compatibility. This only works on the original PS5 model, often called the PS5 Phat, and only on specific firmware versions. Firmware 3.xx is supported without M.2 SSD support, while 4.xx firmware versions, including 4.00, 4.02, 4.03, 4.50, and 4.51, are supported with M.2 access. Older 1.xx and 2.xx firmware may be added down the line, but is not a current priority. Firmware 5.xx is a possibility in the future, though with limitations that would require Linux to run inside a virtual machine with reduced feature access. Firmware 6.xx has no current support plans. * ⚓ Video Cardz ☛ PS5_Linux_loader_released_for_older_firmware_3.xx_and 4.xx_consoles⠀⇛ Andy Nguyen, also known as TheOfficialFloW, has released the PS5 Linux loader project. This is not an official Sony feature, but a public homebrew release for older PlayStation 5 consoles. Perhaps the most important detail is that this distro will not work with just any console, only those that have been jailbroken before. The project supports PlayStation 5 Phat models running firmware 3.xx and 4.xx. Supported versions include 3.00, 3.10, 3.20 and 3.21 without M.2 support. Firmware 4.00, 4.02, 4.03, 4.50 and 4.51 can use M.2 SSD storage for Linux. The developers state that firmware 5.xx support may be added later, but Linux would run inside the GameOS VM and may have fewer features or lower performance. * ⚓ PS5_Linux_project_released_to_unlock_PlayStation_5’s_PC_potential⠀⇛ Last month, a modder called Andy Nguyen, also known as “theflow0” and “TheOfficialFloW”, showcased their Linux-powered PlayStation 5 (PS5) and its PC gaming capabilities. Now, the modder has officially released a PS5 Linux Loader on GitHub, allowing others to turn their PlayStation 5 consoles into Linux PCs. * ⚓ Notebook Check ☛ Modder_releases_PS5-Linux_that_turns_the_console_into a_fully_functional_Linux_gaming_PC⠀⇛ After months of testing and improvements, security engineer and modder Andy Nguyen has finally released PS5-Linux, allowing users to turn their console into a functional Linux gaming PC. Valnet: * ⚓ You_can_turn_your_PS5_into_a_Linux-powered_gaming_PC_now,_but_there_are big_trade-offs⠀⇛ Following a tease of the project back in March, modder Andy Nguyen has officially released PS5-Linux, giving users a way to turn their PlayStation 5 into a fully-functional Linux gaming PC. According to PS5-Linux's GitHub notes, the installation uses a patched hypervisor vulnerability to unlock the console's hardware. Once you have PS5-Linux installed, it runs just like a standard desktop Linux PC powered by 8 CPU cores (16 threads) clocked at 3.5Ghz, alongside a GPU running at 2.23Ghz. This means the Linux-powered PS5 can run Steam games and emulators with ease. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣴⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣠⣦⣤⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⣄⡙⠻⠿⢿⣛⣩⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠳⠦⢄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⠿⡇⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⣤⣶⣿⣷⣶⣭⣭⣭⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠋⣻⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3670 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/30/ToaruOS_independent_from_scratch_hobby_operating_system.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/30/ToaruOS_independent_from_scratch_hobby_operating_system.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ ToaruOS – independent, from-scratch hobby operating system⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 30, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇ToaruOS⦈_ Quoting: ToaruOS - independent, from-scratch hobby operating system - LinuxLinks — ToaruOS is a from-scratch Unix-like operating system that provides a representative desktop OS environment for learning and experimentation.

needs, to run a backdoored Windows program, there are few ways to do it and sometimes it doesn't work. Some backdoored Windows apps will not run on WINE, or the like, and you are stuck not being able to use it. * ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ How_to_Add_Custom_Startup_Program_in_Ubuntu_26.04⠀⇛ Ubuntu 26.04 does no longer have the “Startup Applications” utility! Here are alternative ways to add startup programs, scripts, or commands that run automatically at login. As you may know, the default Gnome Desktop (since v49) added the feature to enable auto-start applications by using toggle options in Settings -> Apps. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ How_to_Install_Ubuntu_26.04⠀⇛ Step-by-step instructions for installing Ubuntu 26.04 from a bootable USB drive, covering ISO download, installer screens, disk setup, and first boot. * ⚓ dwaves.de ☛ QNAP_how_to_display_custom_text_LCD_display⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 4169 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/30/today_s_howtos.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/30/today_s_howtos.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 30, 2026 * ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Avoid_Retyping_Long_Commands_in_Linux⠀⇛ Most Linux users know their shell saves command history, but the way they use it isn’t very efficient. You type a long command, memorize flags, re-enter file paths, and sometimes forget small details like a trailing slash, then you have to fix it and try again. * ⚓ Mariusz Zaborski ☛ When_resizing_a_gmirror_gives_you_a_hard_time⠀⇛ I recently ran into an annoying problem on one of my FreeBSD machines: resizing a gmirror. Spoiler: it stops being annoying once I remember to enable the human built-in "thinking" feature. To keep the example simple, imagine a setup with three partitions across two disks: system (UFS), swap, and data (ZFS). The system partitions are mirrored with GEOM Mirror. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ If_it's_in_JSON,_it's_not_really_a configuration_file⠀⇛ JSON is a perfectly good format for your internal configuration data store, what you transform a configuration file into and then save for your software's future convenience. It's not a configuration file format, and if you use it as such, you're basically forcing people to write your compiled configuration storage format themselves. The result is a configuration file only in a narrow technical sense that it is a file you force people to supply to configure your software. You could tell them to compile C or their language of choice into a shared .so file that you will load as a plugin to configure things, or to write a Python, Perl, Lua, or JavaScript file (depending on your implementation language) that you will load and execute to create the configuration, and call all of those 'configuration files', and it would not be too far off from the JSON case. * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Docker_Swarm_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ Running containers on a single Docker host works fine for local development.

Assuming the defenders can patch, and push those patches out to users quickly, this technology favors the defenders. # ⚓ Ars Technica ☛ Mozilla:_Anthropic's_Mythos_found_271 security_vulnerabilities_in_Firefox_150⠀⇛ Mozilla added some important data to that debate Tuesday, writing in a blog post that early access to Mythos Preview had helped it pre-identify 271 security vulnerabilities in this week’s release of Firefox 150. The results were significant enough to get Firefox CTO Bobby Holley to enthuse that, in the never-ending battle between cyberattackers and cyberdefenders, “defenders finally have a chance to win, decisively.” ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 4313 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/30/Why_You_Should_Avoid_Pop_OS_24_04_Right_Now.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/30/Why_You_Should_Avoid_Pop_OS_24_04_Right_Now.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Why You Should Avoid Pop!_OS 24.04 Right Now⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 30, 2026 * ⚓ Mike Rockwell ☛ Why_You_Should_Avoid_Pop!_OS_24.04_Right_Now⠀⇛ I like Pop!_OS, but Cosmic should have continued as a beta option, alongside a default Gnome-based release for a while longer to hammer out some of the issues that Chris highlights. * ⚓ Chris Titus ☛ Why_You_Should_Avoid_Pop!_OS_24.04_Right_Now⠀⇛ If you are looking for a Linux distro that is stable, predictable, and easy to recommend to normal people, Pop!_OS 24.04 is not it. The main reason is simple: System76 launched it with COSMIC in beta. That one decision turns what should have been a safe long-term support release into a moving target. For a lab machine, a spare laptop, or someone who enjoys testing unfinished software, that might be fine. For everyone else, especially new Linux users, that is a terrible trade.
