In this episode of Galaxy Brain, Charlie Warzel speaks with Chris Hayes about how to emotionally calibrate our response to this dizzying AI moment. Hayes describes why AI gives him “The Bad Feeling,” and how it led him to report on AI like an anthropologist would. The two discuss why AI is described as “the jagged frontier,” and they explore the distinction between using AI for creative thinking versus grunt work. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 273 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/18/Canonical_Ubuntu_Family_Rescuezilla_2_6_2_and_Ubuntu_26_04.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/18/Canonical_Ubuntu_Family_Rescuezilla_2_6_2_and_Ubuntu_26_04.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Canonical/Ubuntu Family: Rescuezilla 2.6.2 and Ubuntu 26.04⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 18, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Rescuezilla_v2.6.2⦈_ * ⚓ XDA ☛ My_favorite_Linux_recovery_OS_just_got_a_modern_Ubuntu foundation⠀⇛ Now, Rescuezilla has just gotten a new update, and this one's pretty big. The flagship feature is an upgrade for its Ubuntu base, which puts the software this side of 2026. * ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ Distribution_Release:_Rescuezilla_2.6.2⠀⇛ Shasheen Ediriweera has announced the release of Rescuezilla 2.6.2, the latest version of the project's Ubuntu-based specialist distribution with tools for system recovery.

From the changelog: [...] * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_26.04_support_added_to_VMware_Workstation_Pro [Ed: OMG!Proprietary]⠀⇛ A new version of Broadcom’s free virtualisation software VMware Workstation Pro is out with been support Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. VMware Workstation Pro 26H1, along macOS counterpart VMware Fusion Pro, both support the latest long-term support version of Ubuntu as host OS (what the software runs on) and a guest OS (a virtual machine inside the software). * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Canonical_share_Ubuntu_26.04_concept_build_for_CIX_P1 devices⠀⇛ Canonical has shared a new Ubuntu Concept image for the CIX P1, an Armv9 SoC powering single-board computers like the Radxa Orion O6 and Orange Pi 6 Plus. The image is based on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and ships with a GNU/Linux 7.0 kernel from CIX’s open-source Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub tree using only open-source drivers. A set of patches sits on top of the mainline kernel, but the goal is for them to be upstreamed too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠃⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡿⢿⢿⠿⠿⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⢻⠿⠿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣈⣉⣉⣉⣩⣭⡈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⡿⡿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡛⢛⡛⢻⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⢸⣿⣿⡟⠛⠻⠛⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⡌⠀⢸⣿⡿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢷⡷⠀⢾⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡶⣱⢅⠀⠀⠈⡃⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⢉⢉⣥⣤⣤⣤⣿⣭⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡿⣿⠂⠀⠀⠈⡔⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⢀⡐⠒⠚⢉⣉⣁⣠⣤⢨⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢸⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠋⠸⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠉⠉⢧⡀⢀⣸⣿⡟⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠴⠖⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠂⠉⠙⠻⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡀⠀⣈⣁⣈⣿⡿⠀⠈⢏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⣴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⢄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠤⢄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣶⣆⣐⣁⣠⣏⠁⢀⢻⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣶⣦⣄⡀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⠠⡤⣶⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀⣉⣀⣵⣶⣤⣤⣧⣴⣶⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠐⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠳⠹⠣⣁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢚⣛⡵⠠⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⡀⠈⠉⣰⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣄⡀⠀⣴⡷⢀⣀⣀⣑⣁⣀⡀⠀⠀⠉⠠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠛⢿⣟⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣁⠀⠀⠀⠠⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠳⢤⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣉⠉⠉⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠷⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠋⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⠀⢀⠀⡀ ⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣀⣀⣀⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡈⠁⠐⠑⠐⠚⠁⠁ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 358 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/18/Distributions_and_Operating_Systems_OSNews_BSD_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/18/Distributions_and_Operating_Systems_OSNews_BSD_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Distributions and Operating Systems: OSNews, BSD, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 18, 2026 * ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ DistroWatch.com:_Put_the_fun_back_into_computing._Use Linux,_BSD.⠀⇛ [...] In our News column we talk about Debian's commitment to reproducible builds while Haiku introduces multi-core support for ARM64 processors. [...] * ⚓ OS News ☛ 21_years_and_20000_posts_later⠀⇛ Almost exactly 21 years ago, in June 2005, at a mere 20 years old, I took over the managing editor role at OSNews from Eugenia. I had already published a few articles in the years prior, and had given Eugenia enough confidence to suggest me as her replacement. It was, and is, a great honour. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Call_to_undefined_function_filter_var()_on FreeBSD⠀⇛ I got this when upgrading a server: [...] o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ IT Jungle ☛ Big_Blue_Is_Still_Talking_About_Future_Power Processors,_Which_Is_Good⠀⇛ The details are really thin, as usual, but I.C.B.M. is still talking about the advantages that the Power10 and Power11 processors have over other server-class CPUs in the market today, as Power chief architect Bill Starke did at the most recent POWERUp conference in New Orleans. And Starke always ends his presentations with a hint or two about what Power Next or Power Future – what we would call Power12 – might look like. o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Otto_Kekäläinen:_Balancing_persistence_vs_pivoting_–_is grit_a_virtue_or_wasteful?⠀⇛ Being persistent, sticking to a plan and showing up to work every day is generally valued highly across all cultures as virtuous behavior. It is obvious that anything of value and worth achieving is also not easy, but requires significant and recurring effort. Learning a new language, winning a sports competition or building a successful business are all typical scenarios where grit plays a central role above everything else. However, sometimes the virtue of tenacity can result in just a waste of energy. The question is then: how does one recognize that true progress is being blocked by stubbornness and a pivot would be the correct decision, as opposed to being close to breakthrough where doing more of the same would actually be the right choice? ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 449 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/18/Education_and_Sharing_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/18/Education_and_Sharing_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Education and Sharing Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 18, 2026 * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ Connor Tumbleson ☛ BSides_Tampa_2026⠀⇛ As May 16, 2026 came to an end another BSides Tampa conference had ended. This had continued the growth path of more attendees, more staff and an even more streamlined logistical process. The ISC2 Tampa Chapter organizes this event each year and always continues to set the bar higher year after year. o ⚓ David Bushell ☛ Web_whetstones⠀⇛ How do you stay sharp as a web developer and/or designer? I’ll share my advice below. I’m also looking for front- end folk to advise me too. What are your whetstones? That is to say: sources of news and knowledge to level up professionally. Does that metaphor work? We’re sharpening our minds, and I suppose the web too with our minds… are minds the whetstone here? Moving swiftly on, in rough order of preference: [...] * § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ o § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ Lalit Maganti ☛ Which_country_voted_the_best_at Eurovision?⠀⇛ Strangely enough, while there’s plenty of work on voting blocs and bilateral biases at Eurovision, most of it asks who votes for whom; I wanted to ask who votes accurately. I couldn’t find anyone asking the question that way, so I decided to do some data analysis myself. # ⚓ James Randall ☛ Does_the_data_show_Trump_sundowning?_A_look at_his_posting_rhythm⠀⇛ A claim that has gained traction lately is that Donald Trump’s posting patterns suggest “sundowning” — the late-day cognitive decline associated with dementia. The argument goes that his late-night and small-hours posting, often described as becoming more erratic or aggressive, points to something going on cognitively. Its a serious claim and one, I figured, you could look at with data rather than rely on vibes. o § Open Access/Content⠀➾ # ⚓ [Old] Internet Archive ☛ Usenet_Historical_Collection⠀⇛ This historical collection of Usenet spans more than 30 years and was given to us by a generous donor. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 543 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/18/Extrox_Linux_Audiophile_Friendly_MX_Spin_with_an_Arch_Twin.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/18/Extrox_Linux_Audiophile_Friendly_MX_Spin_with_an_Arch_Twin.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Extrox Linux: Audiophile-Friendly MX Spin with an Arch Twin⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on May 18, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Default_Extrox_Linux_desktop⦈_ Quoting: Extrox Linux: Audiophile-Friendly MX Spin with an Arch Twin - FOSS Force — From the Land of the Rising Sun, courtesy of lead developer Tsuyoshi Nakamura comes this week Distro of the Week, Extrox Linux. The distro is based on MX Linux. Another spin, Extrox Arch, is based- on MX Arch, an unofficial Arch-based MX community spin. Nakamura, who goes by the name Freja online, is behind both versions, and is also a contributor to the MX Linux art team who’s responsible for MX-19’s “Dusk Green” wallpaper. Because it was a tough call to pick between Extrox’s two editions, I decided to test both. So congratulations – you get a twofer in this week’s column.

One of these has to be fingerprint login, which technically works on Linux — assuming you have the magical combination of vendor and developer support. Even then, it is a pain to set up. And to be honest, I’ve always been indifferent to it until I experienced something a bit more convenient, which would be Windows Hello. It’s incredibly fast, reliable, and is now bundled into a lot of Windows laptops these days. Imagine my disappointment when I found out that I would lose this functionality when switching over to Linux. Or so I thought. Turns out, there’s a free Linux application that brings the same Windows Hello functionality, with both screen unlocking and authentication as configurable options * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ There's_a_terminal_editor_that_gives_you_Vim's_speed without_Vim's_pain⠀⇛ Vim's reputation precedes it in the worst way. Everyone who uses it loves it, that is, if they don't quit within the first 10 minutes of opening the editor. And if you haven't really Googled "how to exit Vim", you haven't given it the serious shot it needs to place itself in your heart. You see, Vim's modal editing is genuinely faster, more intentional, and more powerful than clicking around with a GUI editor. VS Code may be the perfect writing app, but it's not just a writing app, and hence, it slows you down with clicks, menus, and whatnot. But if you don't want to spend weeks building muscle memory and scratching your head over configuration files, I've got good news for you. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I_finally_tried_Obsidian_again_and_realized_why_so_many people_use_Notion_instead⠀⇛ While there are many markdown editors out there, Obsidian is arguably one of the biggest around. The issue is, Obsidian ships as a fairly barebones experience. The Obsidian team is pretty small, comprising of less than a dozen people, which means that their core focus is on the core experience of Obsidian. This is actually a problem though. Essentially, if there’s something you want to do in Obsidian, the chances are it requires a third-party plugin and isn’t a native feature. In fact, if you look at Kepano’s X account, he actually tells people to look for plugins at basically every turn. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 689 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/18/Firefox_151_Is_Now_Available_for_Download_This_Is_What_s_New.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/18/Firefox_151_Is_Now_Available_for_Download_This_Is_What_s_New.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Firefox 151 Is Now Available for Download, This Is What’s New⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on May 18, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Firefox_151⦈_ Highlights of Firefox 151 include support for local profile backups on Linux and macOS systems with the ability to restore them across platforms, support for merging multiple PDF files directly in Firefox’s built-in PDF viewer, address autofill support for users in the Netherlands, and the general availability of local network access restrictions.

Aside from UNIXy punchlines, there's fish and there are many shells here (maybe 70). Yesterday, due to blackbeard (or Black_Beard_Algae) for the most part if not primarily, we needed to do a full water change in the tank and sterilise everything. It took a long time (lots of manual work, lots of water to boil, checking pH levels, temperatures etc.), but this was the first time in about 14 months. Typically the loaches and shells manage to keep the tank clean. At the end we decided to have 2 tanks, not just one. The smaller one is for the shells only. They multiply (reproduce) like crazy, so they need their own space. These sorts of pets are generally a lot less work than cats and dogs, but when very large jobs (such as full tank refresh) come along it actually gives an awarding/rewarding feeling, a great sense of satisfaction. Here's coming it won't be needed again until next summer. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 785 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/18/Free_and_Open_Source_Software_and_Review.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/18/Free_and_Open_Source_Software_and_Review.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software, and Review⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on May 18, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇MINISFORUM_M2_Panther_Lake_Mini_PC_Running_Linux⦈_ * ⚓ MINISFORUM_M2_Panther_Lake_Mini_PC_Running_Linux:_Testing_the_NPU_in CachyOS_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ An NPU, or Neural Processing Unit, is a dedicated accelerator designed to run AI and machine-learning workloads more efficiently than a general-purpose CPU. It’s particularly useful for fixed-shape inference tasks such as image recognition, object detection, speech processing, background effects, and other local AI features where low latency and low power consumption matter. Rather than replacing the CPU or GPU, the NPU gives the system another specialised engine that can handle suitable AI workloads while leaving the processor and graphics hardware free for other tasks. The MINISFORUM M2 combines a 50 TOPS NPU with up to 90 TOPS of combined NPU and GPU AI performance. The M2’s 50 TOPS NPU is a strong specification for a mini PC. There are a few packages to install in CachyOS before I’m ready to test software designed to use the NPU. Let’s test the driver stack. * ⚓ MINISFORUM_M2_Intel_Panther_Lake_Mini_PC_Running_Linux:_Introduction_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ The Minisforum Elite Mini M2 is a compact mini PC built around Intel’s Panther Lake platform. In this series, I’ll explore the machine in detail from a Linux perspective, looking at hardware support, installation, power consumption, performance, thermals, noise, and everyday usability. I’ll also compare the M2 with a range of other mini PCs to see where it excels, where it falls short, and whether it’s a good choice for Linux users. The M2 is a Panther Lake mini PC powered by Intel’s Core Ultra 7 356H, a 16-core, 16-thread processor. It belongs to Intel’s Core Ultra Series 3 family, launched in Q1 2026. Graphics are handled by Intel Graphics with 4 Xe-cores. It’s worth noting that the Core Ultra 7 356H doesn’t have the most powerful GPU available in Intel’s Panther Lake range. Some higher-end Core Ultra X-series processors feature Intel Arc B390 graphics, whereas the 356H uses Intel Graphics with 4 Xe- cores. Even so, the M2’s graphics should be well suited for desktop use, media playback, and light GPU workloads under Linux. * ⚓ Taxi_-_FTP_client_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Taxi is a native Linux FTP client designed for elementary OS. Built with Vala and Gtk, it provides a simple graphical way to connect to remote servers and move files between the local machine and the server. The application uses a dual-pane layout, making it well suited to users who prefer a traditional file transfer workflow rather than working from the command line. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ git-trim_-_keep_Git_working_directories_clear_of_stale_local_branches_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ git-trim is a command-line utility that helps keep Git working directories clear of stale local branches. It analyses tracking branches against their upstream and base branches, identifying branches that have already been merged, branches whose upstream has disappeared, and cases where a remote branch can also be removed after a merge. The tool is intended as a safer companion to git fetch --prune. While Git’s prune operation removes remote-tracking references, git-trim also deals with the corresponding local tracking branches, avoiding the need for fragile shell one-liners or repeated manual branch deletion after pull requests have been merged or closed. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Manga_Library_Manager_-_cross-platform_manga_downloader_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Manga Library Manager is a cross-platform manga downloader and offline library management application. It lets users download manga from MangaDex, maintain an offline library, update existing EPUB and CBZ files with new chapters, and organise titles using tags, metadata, filtering, and status tracking.

ChromeOS gets away with the idea because it ships on dedicated hardware, but operating systems that run entirely inside a browser tab shouldn't be tools you’d voluntarily rely on, right? PuterOS wants to challenge that idea, and after spending a few hours poking around in it, I'll say this: it does a better job than it has any right to. It’s open source, free to start, and far more usable than I expected from an operating system running entirely in a browser window. Here is what that actually looks like * ⚓ XDA ☛ Your_Windows_PC_can_run_any_Linux_distro_from_a_USB_stick,_and it’s_the_best_way_to_pick_one⠀⇛ Ever since Microsoft started relentlessly bombarding Windows 11 with intrusive, resource-hogging AI tools and unwanted features, there has been a lot of silent dissatisfaction in the air around the OS, so naturally, Linux is looking attractive to many. The problem is a little more complicated than just getting rid of the main OS and installing a distro on a whim, though. Many Windows loyalists are naturally apprehensive about making a full-scale OS switch, and those who are determined can't seem to decide on what distro to pick (which is a condition I call "distro paralysis"). Fortunately, if you fall into either group, you don't have to throw away your current OS just to get a taste of what's on offer on the Linux side of the aisle. All you need is a sizable USB drive. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_stopped_recommending_Linux_Mint_after_trying_Lubuntu_on_a_nine- year-old_laptop⠀⇛ It's often said that Linux is the perfect way to breathe new life into an old laptop, but the exact version of Linux you should choose is always up in the air. Linux Mint is a common recommendation that's stable and modern enough to have all the features you need, but there are others that are more focused on even older hardware, like antiX and MX Linux. But one option that deserves more attention is Lubuntu. An official flavor of Ubuntu, it aims to deliver a lightweight and fast experience for older machines while still having all the modern conveniences you could want, since it's based on the latest Ubuntu release. And after spending some time with it, I may have found a new favorite for keeping old laptops alive. * ⚓ XDA ☛ The_Linux_desktop's_biggest_upgrade_was_learning_when_not_to_ask the_user⠀⇛ The Linux desktop has improved in plenty of visible ways over the last decade, from better hardware support to cleaner app stores and smoother graphics stacks. Those changes matter, and they’re usually the ones that get the most attention. But the bigger shift is quieter than that. Linux got better when it stopped making every routine decision feel like a test. That doesn’t mean Linux should become bland, locked down, or afraid of advanced users. Choice is still one of its best qualities, and I wouldn’t want a desktop that treats me like a guest in my own system. The change is that modern Linux desktops are finally learning which choices need to be surfaced and which ones should stay out of the way. That restraint has done more for daily usability than another dozen configuration panels ever could. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⠿⠟⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠃⠀⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣴⡾⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣶⣿⠿⣛⣥⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠏⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⣿⢿⣛⣭⣶⣿⣿⣿⡿⠱⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣾⣷⣶⣤⡀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠈⠀⢸⣇⣤⣀⡀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠹⣿⣿⠇⠆⠀⠀⣀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠗⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠁⣿⣿⣴⡿⠛⠻⠿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠁⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠷⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣠⡀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠷⣯⣉⠛⠉⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠶⣿⣦⠀⠈⠭⡍⠘⡷⢦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠻⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠓⠂⠀⠀⠉⠓⠊⠁⠀⣦⣤⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⠿⠛⠉⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1278 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/18/GNU_Linux_HowTos_K_Desktop_Environment_vs_GNOME_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/18/GNU_Linux_HowTos_K_Desktop_Environment_vs_GNOME_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux HowTos, K Desktop Environment vs GNOME, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 18, 2026 * § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Stop_opening_ports_on_your_router_to_access_your home_server_(do_this_instead)⠀⇛ When you're connected to the same Wi-Fi network, it's pretty simple to SSH into any device connected to the same network. But outside that same network, you cannot do that because your ISP doesn't assign a unique public IP to your home network. You might have heard that you need to set up "port forwarding" to get into your home servers when you're out. But it doesn't have to be so complicated. Here's an easy and safe way to SSH into your home network when you're away. o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Your_Linux_boot_drive_can_save_you_hours_of frustration_(if_you_know_how_to_use_it)⠀⇛ After you get done installing Linux with a flash drive, it is tempting to just wipe it and throw it back in a drawer. However, that is a waste. Whether you just leave Linux on it or you add a few extra things, your Linux installer USB can become one of the most useful tech troubleshooting tools you own. * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ XDA ☛ Linux_is_finally_ready_for_gamers,_but_gamers_are_still_not ready_for_Linux⠀⇛ The fact is that the overwhelming majority of PC gamers are still on Windows. What's also a fact is that more and more gamers are moving to Linux, something we saw clearly when Windows 10 entered its EOL phase. Linux gaming used to elicit audible groans from PC gamers. However, gaming on Linux is far from what most people remember. Today, you can play most of your Steam library on Linux, often with better performance than Windows, and without a ton of setup if you use the right distro. That said, what's possible on Linux doesn't automatically convince the average user to jump ship. With enough time and effort, you can resolve the many errors Linux gaming still throws at you, but not everyone wants to do that. The long history of Windows and PC gaming means that Linux will take decades, not just years, to gain any kind of mainstream share in the PC gaming world. Linux may finally have ironed out most of the kinks, but the average gamer needs much more than that to leave the walled garden of Windows. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment vs GNOME⠀➾ # ⚓ XDA ☛ I_switched_between_KDE_Plasma_and_GNOME_for_months, and_they’re_not_actually_competitors⠀⇛ Linux offers an overwhelming number of distributions, and there's something for everyone. Desktop environments (DE) add the visual medium to interact with the underlying OS, and there's no dearth of them as well. You've got GNOME, KDE, Xfce, COSMIC, just to name a few. It's also possible to switch to a different desktop environment, which is one of the key things I love about Linux. I've been using Ubuntu with GNOME for a long time and KDE Plasma for a little less than that. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Fedora⠀➾ # ⚓ XDA ☛ Ubuntu_26.04_is_polished,_but_Fedora_44_asked_less from_me_out_of_the_box⠀⇛ Installing two major Linux releases on the same machine is one of the fastest ways to remind yourself that “Linux desktop” is not one single thing. Ubuntu 26.04 and Fedora 44 may both sit comfortably in the mainstream Linux world, but they don’t greet you the same way after a fresh install. That first hour matters more than people sometimes admit. It’s where a distro either feels ready for your daily routine or quietly hands you a to-do list. After using both on the same hardware, Fedora 44 made a stronger first impression. Ubuntu 26.04 has plenty going for it, especially if you want an LTS release with a familiar setup and a huge support ecosystem. I don’t think it’s a weak release, and I wouldn’t pretend otherwise. But Fedora felt calmer, cleaner, and less eager to make decisions I immediately wanted to reverse. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1408 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/18/I_ditched_laggy_Linux_remote_desktop_for_this_browser_based_set.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/18/I_ditched_laggy_Linux_remote_desktop_for_this_browser_based_set.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ I ditched laggy Linux remote desktop for this browser-based setup⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on May 18, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇installation⦈_ Quoting: I ditched laggy Linux remote desktop for this browser-based setup — My homelab contains quite a few Linux boxes with a functional desktop. They all have their individual uses, but managing them all remotely poses a significant security risk given the many exposed remote access service ports. Of course, I could just throw them behind a mesh VPN like Tailscale, but that doesn’t solve the laggy performance and constant Xrdp service crashes. It’s also not as challenging or fun. What I really wanted was to centrally access all my Linux desktops and resolve the Xrdp lag all in one place. Apache Guacamole lets me do exactly that. It lets me add my remote connections and launch them from a browser tab, and it takes care of the window sizing and performance settings behind the scenes. And the best part about Guacamole is that it means no more exposing remote desktop services to the public internet.

It's amazing what you can find when you have almost 30 years of public history in git. In doing so I ran some statistics on KDE's core software. That core is relatively well-defined, even over the years. It's the libraries (Frameworks), the desktop (Plasma), and the standard applications shipped together on a regular release schedule (Gear). Of course there are other fine applications in Extragear and elsewhere, but I didn't look at them for now. In 2009 I did an analysis of KDE's sources and found 4,273,291 lines_of_code.

People spend all their time just forwarding things to the right people or saying "that was already fixed a week/month ago" and pointing to the public discussion. Which is all entirely pointless churn, and we're making it clear that AI detected bugs are pretty much by definition not secret, and treating them on some private list is a waste of time for everybody involved - and only makes that duplication worse because the reporters can't even see each other's reports. AI tools are great, but only if they actually help, rather than cause unnecessary pain and pointless make-believe work. Feel free to use them, but use them in a way that is productive and makes for a better experience. The documentation may be a bit less blunt than I am, but that's the core gist of it. So just to make it really clear: if you found a bug using AI tools, the chances are somebody else found it too. If you actually want to add value, read the documentation, create a patch too, and add some real value on *top* of what the AI did. Don't be the drive-by "send a random report with no real understanding" kind of person. Ok?

Even better, some benchmarks reflect these technologies actually working better than the native Windows versions, taking a pain point of Linux gaming and turning it into a genuine strength. Setting it up does require some basic knowledge of how to use a Linux terminal, including installing packages and making a build directory, but the instructions on Korthos' GitHub page for the project should make that process a simple matter.

For Linux gamers, this integration removes some of the friction involved in setting up the upscaler for the supported games. Of course, the developers describe the OptiScaler implementation as a work in progress. That means it might not work as intended in some cases.

You get a clean web interface, neatly named VMs, tidy storage views, and enough knobs to convince yourself the whole thing is under control. That confidence is useful because it keeps you building instead of second-guessing every decision. It can also hide some very ordinary mistakes until the day something breaks loudly. * ⚓ XDA ☛ The_best_NAS_distro_is_getting_better_at_virtualization,_but_you shouldn’t_use_it_exclusively_for_that⠀⇛ TrueNAS has been my go-to platform for storage servers ever since its Core days, and the Community Edition (or Scale, as we used to call it back in the day) has been a massive improvement over its FreeBSD predecessor. And between WebShare and NVMe- over-TCP, ixSystems has added a bunch of cool features in the last couple of updates. My favorites are the enhanced virtualization provisions and LXC support, which essentially turn the king of ZFS NAS distributions into something more viable for general-purpose home server projects. But after checking out forum posts about tinkerers moving their DIY experiments to TrueNAS, I wouldn’t recommend using it to replace your LXC and VM-hosting workstations – especially if you’re already a member of the Proxmox faction like yours truly * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_kept_waiting_for_Docker_to_fail,_but_nineteen_containers_on bare_metal_proved_Proxmox_wrong⠀⇛ Most people and guides on the internet will suggest that aspiring home lab enthusiasts install Proxmox as the foundation. Whether it’s a Reddit post, YouTube video, or tech forum discussion, the advice is usually the same: gather hardware, install a hypervisor, separate everything into virtual machines, and start building an enterprise-grade infrastructure from day one. After going through most of the online guides, I also expected that I would eventually end up there. The funny thing is, today, almost a year later, my homelab is running on a bare-metal Debian server, and all services are on Docker. It hosts everything from Jellyfin and Immich to Vaultwarden and Pi-hole on a modest i5 machine. What started as a temporary phase due to hardware constraints, which I assumed, now has become a proof of concept that a bare-metal Docker setup could handle a full homelab environment. At some point, I realized Docker was already enough for the way I used my homelab, and I didn’t actually need a hypervisor. * ⚓ XDA ☛ This_hidden_Proxmox_setting_may_sound_cursed,_but_it’s_really useful_for_coding_and_DIY_projects⠀⇛ Having spent a long time with Proxmox, I’ve run into all sorts of obscure settings and performance tweaks – some acquired from random forum posts; others unearthed from issue threads on random Proxmox-centric GitHub packages. But the real gold mines were the seemingly cursed settings that, despite sounding unhinged, actually come with niche benefits, and in some cases, can be game-changers for your specific workloads. Nested virtualization fits in the latter category, and while it’s fairly easy to set up, it’s not very popular in the PVE community. For the uninitiated, it’s the arcane art of running virtual machines inside other VMs, and while it has some massive deal-breakers, it completely changed how I worked on my coding projects. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2385 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/18/Review_Sylve_on_FreeBSD.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/18/Review_Sylve_on_FreeBSD.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Review: Sylve on FreeBSD⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on May 18, 2026 Quoting: DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD. — Sylve is in its fairly early stages and has just recently been added to the FreeBSD "latest" repository. Despite its youth, the Sylve software has made a strong start. The package installed successfully, the user interface is fairly easy to navigate, and the documentation covers most of the necessary information we need. I found the Sylve dashboard, filesystem snapshot tools, and jail management tools worked (at least once I got used to the terminology used by the interface). I liked that jail networking was mostly automated with sane defaults. I was surprised by a few items, such as selecting the FreeBSD base was not automated, as it is with other jail managers, and that Sylve doesn't provide a pre-selected list of supported Linux distributions for jails. However, I suspect these are features which will come later, once the basic tools have been further refined.

The former belongs to Intel and AMD, which each hold critical patents necessary to make modern PC chips. ARM belongs to, well, ARM, and you'll find that in MacBooks, phones, tablets, and more. Intel and AMD are unlikely to let anyone new make x86 chips, and ARM too is in full control of who it licenses its technology to. But, there is a third option in the form of RISC-V. Like ARM, RISC-V is a CPU instruction set architecture that uses a RISC or "Reduced Instruction Set Computer" approach. However, unlike ARM (and x86), RISC-V is completely open. Anyone can design and sell RISC-V CPUs without paying a cent. Why RISC-V matters It's the principle that counts The world runs on microchips. These little squares of thinking sand are immensely important, and having just two closed architectures dominating everything is a good thing. However, it's important to remember that RISC-V isn't a CPU you can just buy from someone. It's a "blueprint" you can use to design your own CPU. Because that blueprint is free and open, it means you can extend it, build on it, and create exactly what you need without having to reinvent the wheel. The easiest comparison is the difference between Linux and Windows. Linux gave developers an open foundation they could modify freely, which allowed innovation to happen at every level of the stack. RISC- V aims to do something similar for silicon.

But since most ship with mobile operating systems like Android or iPadOS, they’re often tightly tied to Google or Apple for support, services, and app stores, among other things. So developer tech4bot decided to set a cheap Android tablet free by turning porting Linux to run on it. The Doogee U10 is a budget tablet that sells for around $80 and ships with Android 14. But tech4bot’s open source software lets you install a Debian 12 “Bookworm” image to a microSD card and boot from that instead, allowing you to use it like a full-fledged (if underpowered) Linux PC.
