Competing with a lineup of other 16-bit machines such as the IBM PC, Apple Macintosh and Atari ST, it offered far superior sound and graphics capabilities at a surprisingly low cost. It also provided something else the competition lacked: effortless, performant pre-emptive multitasking. The only other option for people who wanted a multi-tasking machine with some semblance of a GUI at this point in time was, to the best of my knowledge, to fork out an exuberant amount of money for a Unix workstation. * § BSD⠀➾ o ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ BSD_Release:_FreeBSD_15.1⠀⇛ Colin Percival has announced the release of FreeBSD 15.1, the second release in FreeBSD's latest stable branch: [...] * § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ o ⚓ Agama:_Releasing_version_22⠀⇛ Summertime is arriving to Europe.

And since we do not want to show up to the party empty-handed, we just finished cooking Agama 22. As anticipated on the previous_blog_post, in this new version we focused our efforts on polishing the user experience. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 425 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/Firefox_153_Enters_Beta_Testing_as_the_Next_Extended_Support_Re.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/Firefox_153_Enters_Beta_Testing_as_the_Next_Extended_Support_Re.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Firefox 153 Enters Beta Testing as the Next Extended Support Release Series⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Jun 17, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Firefox_153_Beta⦈_ The big news with Firefox 153 is that it will be the next Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release) series, supported for 15 months with regular updates that coincide with new Firefox releases.

Some utilities help developers review changes more efficiently in the terminal, while others focus on visualising project evolution, highlighting who changed what, or identifying stale branches and oversized history. There are also tools for rewriting repository history, cleaning unwanted data, replaying commits, improving merge handling, and surfacing pull request activity. Together, they help developers, maintainers, and teams gain a clearer picture of how a codebase has changed over time. Whether you’re auditing a project, preparing a release, reviewing patches, or keeping a repository tidy, these tools add useful insight beyond the standard Git command set. Here’s our verdict, presented in a classic LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion. * ⚓ BOSGAME_VTA-439_Mini_PC_running_Linux_-_Benchmarks⠀⇛ This is a new series looking at the BOSGAME VTA-439 mini PC running Linux.

Yet these are the people who experience computing education every day, and they have valuable insights into what is working, what is not, and what needs to change. Our new report is based on a series of student focus groups and teacher workshops held by us and the University of Cambridge in Manchester, London, and Cambridge during spring 2026. Teachers sit at a table discussing England's curriculum review and The Future of England's Computing Curriculum. o ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Future_of_England’s_Computing_Curriculum:_Report [PDF]⠀⇛ Our discussions with people with firsthand knowledge of the current curriculum suggest that the next phase of reform should not focus on adding more content, but rather focus on making computing education more practical, relevant, inclusive, and future-facing. This report discusses both general computing education and computer science qualifications. In England, all pupils study computing as part of the national curriculum until the end of Key Stage 3 (Year 9, age 14). Beyond this point, students may choose to continue studying computer science at GCSE and A level. Throughout this report, we use ‘computing education’ when referring to the broader curriculum experienced by all young people, and ‘computer science’ when referring to the optional qualification pathways studied after Key Stage 3. * § FSF / Software Freedom / Digital Sovereignty⠀➾ o ⚓ OpenRightsGroup ☛ MPs_urged_to_vote_for_a_Digital_Sovereignty strategy⠀⇛ Open Rights Group is urging MPs to vote for an amendment to the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill that would require the government to develop a Digital Sovereignty strategy that would help secure the resilience and independence of the UK’s critical infrastructure. o ⚓ Bert Hubert ☛ Do_not_invite_big-tech_to_join_your_digital autonomy_discussion_-_Bert_Hubert's_writings⠀⇛ However, if we want to discuss how to improve our digital autonomy, employees from US big tech will not usefully contribute to the conversation. They can’t. And in fact, they’ll likely actively prevent progress by restating old talking points, like how (despite tons of legal analysis to the contrary) Microsoft is somehow able to shield us from the vagaries of the US administration. I recall Microsoft vice-president Brad Smith explaining how Microsoft would go to court to protect European rights and within a week, Microsoft told the International Criminal Court that it had to remove several employees from Microsoft services, because of US sanctions. Microsoft pointedly did not go to court to defend the ICC. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Logikal Solutions ☛ LF_CR_LFCR_and_CRLF_Because_it_Keeps_Coming Up_–_Logikal_Blog⠀⇛ One would think the whole LFCR discussion would have been documented and saved throughout the decades. One should really be warned about thinking. Despite what you will read in Google’s always right AI as well as other places online, way more than Acorn BBC Micro use LFCR for line endings in text files. During the heyday of Midrange computers it was the wild wild west. Lots of names you don’t hear anymore, DEC, Singer, Sperry, MAI, Prime and so many others were all vying to be the last one standing. You had to have both a gimmick and a niche to make money. Eventually software would be written on cheaper platforms to serve your niche and one trick ponies found out that other ponies could learn the trick. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 869 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/Games_News_Engagement_Stop_Destroying_Videogames_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/Games_News_Engagement_Stop_Destroying_Videogames_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: News Engagement, "Stop Destroying Videogames", and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 17, 2026 * ⚓ Wouter Groeneveld ☛ My_Enjoyment_From_Engagement_With_Media_Deepens_As I_Grow_Older⠀⇛ In short, I don’t think I appreciated media as a piece of art like I do now.

The thing about KDE Plasma is that it's already one of the finest desktop environments on the market. It's gorgeous, stable, highly user-friendly, but also flexible, and it performs more like a lightweight desktop akin to Xfce. So, when the developers offer a release that's even better, you can be sure it's worth installing. Read_On! LwN: * ⚓ KDE_Plasma_6.7_released⠀⇛ Version 6.7 of KDE's Plasma desktop has been released. Notable changes in this release include per-screen virtual desktops, faster desktop switching, introduction of the Union theming system as a tech preview, as well as many other improvements and bug fixes. The release is dedicated to Eric Laffoon, a longtime KDE supporter, who passed away in May. See the KDE wiki for a full list of new features, and the Changelog for a list of all commits in this release. Planet KDE: * ⚓ Plasma_6.7_-_KDE_Community⠀⇛ Plasma 6.7 brings powerful new features to KDE’s classic desktop, and refines its user experience to new levels.

Read on to learn all about it! * ⚓ Oxygen_6.7_is_here:_a_breath_of_fresh_air_for_KDE’s_classic_theme_– Filip_Fila's_blog⠀⇛ The year started off bleak. As I was gallivanting through KDE themes at hand, I decided to stick with the Oxygen one. It didn’t take long to notice that this old theme, once the default in the KDE 4 era, wasn’t looking its best. A slew of little bugs had accumulated, and it was clear that Oxygen was in need of some love. Coupling that with a desire to get back into contributing to FOSS and KDE, my first step was to restore the Air theme – a light desktop theme that was the dark Oxygen’s counterpart. The developer response afterwards wasn’t all that positive. At that point, the outlook was still looking bleak. Giving up right there and then would have left Oxygen as it was. Instead, a different, wonderful timeline emerged. A restoration project was born, met with a surprisingly large and overwhelmingly positive response from users. That response brought with it new contributors, and perhaps most excitingly collaboration with Nuno Pinheiro, Oxygen’s original lead designer, was all of the sudden a thing. Through it all we created a series of fixes that make Oxygen better than it has been in a while. June 16th 2026 is the day some of them land, as part of the Plasma 6.7 release. UbuntuHandbook: * ⚓ KDE_Plasma_6.7_Released_with_Per_Screen_Virtual_Desktops⠀⇛ The new version introduced many exciting new features, theme improvements, and better AMD/Intel platforms support. First, the new Plasma 6.7 brought Oxygen theme, the default theme in KDE 4, in both light and dark versions, as well as the Air theme that provides full light version of Oxygen. It also improved the default Breeze theme with rounded list and grid view highlights for many apps, and visible click effects for menu items. OMG Ubuntu: * ⚓ KDE_Plasma_6.7_release_brings_per-monitor_desktops,_revives_Oxygen_- OMG!_Ubuntu⠀⇛ The latest stable update also sees a classic KDE theme revived, supports simultaneous HDR and ICC profiles and packs in an assortment of usability, UI and performance tweaks. This release is dedicated to Eric Laffoon, a longtime KDE supporter who passed away in May 2026. Users of the Ubuntu-based KDE Neon and rolling-release distributions like Arch will be able to install Plasma 6.7 in the coming days. Kubuntu 26.04 LTS users should check the Kubuntu Backports PPA in the coming weeks, as new release are often made available there. Also here: * ⚓ Oxygen_6.7_is_here:_a_breath_of_fresh_air_for_KDE’s_classic_theme⠀⇛ The year started off bleak. As I was gallivanting through KDE themes at hand, I decided to stick with the Oxygen one. It didn’t take long to notice that this old theme, once the default in the KDE 4 era, wasn’t looking its best. A slew of little bugs had accumulated, and it was clear that Oxygen was in need of some love. Coupling that with a desire to get back into contributing to FOSS and KDE, my first step was to restore the Air theme – a light desktop theme that was the dark Oxygen’s counterpart. The developer response afterwards wasn’t all that positive. At that point, the outlook was still looking bleak. Giving up right there and then would have left Oxygen as it was. Instead, a different, wonderful timeline emerged. A restoration project was born, met with a surprisingly large and overwhelmingly positive response from users. That response brought with it new contributors, and perhaps most excitingly collaboration with Nuno Pinheiro, Oxygen’s original lead designer, was all of the sudden a thing. Through it all we created a series of fixes that make Oxygen better than it has been in a while. June 16th 2026 is the day some of them land, as part of the Plasma 6.7 release. LWN: * ⚓ KDE_Plasma_6.7_released⠀⇛ Version_6.7 of KDE's Plasma desktop has been released. Notable changes in this release include per-screen virtual desktops, faster desktop switching, introduction of the Union_theming system as a tech preview, as well as many_other_improvements and bug fixes. The release is dedicated to Eric Laffoon, a longtime KDE supporter, who passed away in May. GoL: * ⚓ KDE_Plasma_6.7_out_with_per-screen_virtual_desktops,_Wayland_upgrades, better_support_for_background_apps_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ The KDE Plasma 6.7 desktop environment is out now, bringing some great new features, the return of a classic theme and more UI upgrades. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1263 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/Linux_Kernel_and_Graphics_News.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/Linux_Kernel_and_Graphics_News.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Linux Kernel and Graphics News⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 17, 2026 * § Kernel Space⠀➾ o ⚓ Klara ☛ Jails_vs_LXC:_What’s_the_Right_Choice_for Infrastructure?⠀⇛ FreeBSD Jails and Linux LXC both provide operating system-level virtualization, but their design philosophies differ significantly. This article explores how each approach handles isolation, security, observability, ZFS integration, and operational complexity to help infrastructure teams determine which model best fits their environment. o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ What_the_new_Linux_NFS_mount_option 'fatal_neterrors'_is⠀⇛ If you have NFS mounts on a client using a sufficiently recent kernel, such as that shipped with Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, and you inspect /proc/mounts (or 'mount -t nfs'), you'll probably discover a new NFS mount option that is listed for your mounts. For example: [...] o ⚓ Nick Moore ☛ Boot_Naked_Linux⠀⇛ When I was a kid, computers weren’t coddled and left running 24/7, when you were done with them you switched them off, and when you wanted them again you just switched them on and within a second or so they’d be loading whatever was in their disk drive. There was a brief moment in the early 2000s where the newly introduced SSDs made booting quick but as always the tech industry has taken up the slack until even a 16 core monster with a fast SSD still takes a minute to get its feet under it. So I wanted to try an alternative. Keep the Linux kernel but strip away everything else I could. Here goes … well not quite here goes nothing, but here goes a lot less. o ⚓ XDA ☛ Someone_moved_three_lines_of_code_in_Linux_7.2_and_got_a_5% storage_speed_boost⠀⇛ Ensuring your code is working at its utmost best can be pretty daunting if you're not sure what to pull back, and by how much. However, sometimes the stars align, and you spot a really simple fix that significantly boosts your software's speed. As good as that is, though, not many people can claim to have sped up a process by 5% simply by moving three chunks of code down by a few lines, which is exactly what one Linux engineer achieved with kernel version 7.2. o ⚓ Hackster ☛ Espressif_Prepares_for_ESP32-E22_General_Availability with_Wi-Fi_6E_Certification,_Open_Linux_Driver⠀⇛ Despite those powerful processor cores, the ESP32-E22 isn't designed to act on its own; Espressif envisions the chip as being a communications coprocessor to a more powerful host, and to that end has released open source drivers for Linux version 5.4 and above. "The driver enables device manufacturers and system developers to integrate the ESP32-E22 into a wide range of host systems," the company says. "Developers can evaluate, customize, and extend the open-source code, lowering the barrier to development and accelerating the path from product design to mass production." * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ FreeBSD ☛ FreeBSD_Graphics_Port_Upgraded_to_Linux_6.12⠀⇛ Graphics support in FreeBSD has reached a milestone with the drm-kmod port now including the Linux 6.12 (LTS) graphics driver.

We went into this quarter with our own ideas for what we wanted to accomplish. However, our users had better ideas. With the release of Thunderbird’s own mail service, Thundermail, the need for a better account settings import process across our services and apps became vital. We have also heard from our users about issues they had with syncing, notifications, bugs, and more. As such, we refined our roadmap, because the goal is always a better, safer, more private email client, and delivering that experience is more important than any foregone projects. Our roadmap can change, but our goal to deliver the best cannot. # ⚓ Waterfox ☛ Waterfox_6.6.15_-_Security_fixes_-_Waterfox Release⠀⇛ Fixed multiple security vulnerabilities as described in Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory 2026-58. # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Firefox_is_easier_than_ever_to_customize⠀⇛ Firefox gives you many ways to make the browser your own, from privacy settings and AI controls to tab management, custom colors, and more.

Unfortunately having done so, [Rick] wasn’t able to get an SDcard interface soldered on, so he’s stuck with just 4MB for books and webserver. That means only a few epubs can fit on the bulb, but it’s better than those books being unavailable. o ⚓ Rick Osgood ☛ Banned_Book_Library⠀⇛ The one thing that struck me as a potential problem was the flash size. It was listed as 4MB. This is not very much space to host a library of books... That 4MB would need to fit all of the firmware, the website, and any books. Not much space. I thought I might be able to overcome this by adding storage, such as a microSD card reader. More on that later. I purchased two of these bulbs to play with. I figured I might end up breaking or bricking one, so having a backup would be good. * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ SCINTIX_P4_ESP32-P4_Compute_Module_works_with_ (some)_Raspberry_Pi_CM4/CM5_carrier_boards_(Crowdfunding)⠀⇛ SCINTIX P4 is an ESP32-P4 RISC-V Compute Module with an ESP32-C6 for wireless connectivity that’s compatible with Raspberry Pi CM4/CM5 carrier boards, at least partially. It should be the first MCU-based system-on-module in Raspberry Pi CM4/CM5 form factor, and RELOC says the SCINTIX P4 gives access to displays, cameras, Ethernet, USB, and all the peripherals the ESP32-P4 exposes when connected to a carrier board. It can also be programmed in standalone mode through its built-in USB Type-C port. o ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Your_Maker_Monday_projects⠀⇛ If you take a look across social media today using #MakerMonday, you’ll find some weird, some wonderful, and some only partially finished nerdy projects, many of which will be powered by Raspberry Pi. Here are a few the Raspberry Pi Official Magazine team came across recently… o ⚓ Jason Becker ☛ I_Built_a_Guitar⠀⇛ Apparently I didn't post this on my blog? I did a fun, 4 week course with Ohad from Barbibay Guitars and Matt Rector at Baltimore Node to build a guitar from a kit. Very happy with what I learned and how it turned out. o ⚓ Arduino ☛ This_cryocooler_was_made_using_3D-printed_parts⠀⇛ Hyperspace Pirate built his Gifford-McMahon cryocooler on a budget. It is really just a cylinder with a piston inside. But it is sealed, so an external actuator moves the piston with magnets. An Arduino UNO Rev3 controls the rotation of a stepper, translated into linear motion to move the cylinder in and out. Originally limit switches detected the ends of the stroke, but Hyperspace Pirate switched to Hall effect sensors. Because he used an Arduino, Hyperspace Pirate was able to time the piston movement to match the opening of the cylinder’s valve. o ⚓ Adafruit ☛ A_Linux_build_tree_for_the_Adafruit_Fruit_Jam⠀⇛ This GitHub repo builds tiny Buildroot-based Linux images for RP2350 RISC-V (Hazard3) boards.

It prevents accidental full-hierarchy scans caused by missing WHERE/JOIN conditions on the partition key. As a DBA, you have almost certainly run into queries that hit a partitioned table without using the partition key. On tables holding hundreds of millions or billions of rows, it is a disaster: PostgreSQL has no choice but to scan every partition, the server's I/O subsystem saturates, and overall performance collapses for everyone connected to the instance. * ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ powa-archivist_5.1.2_is_out!⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1697 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 17, 2026 * ⚓ Vikash Patel ☛ A_Love_Letter_to_the_L1_Cache⠀⇛ Struct A was consistently 30% slower than Struct B. Struct A was also 50% larger in memory. In high-level languages, we are taught to think of memory as a simple, uniform resource. You ask for some bytes, you get them. But when you start caring about nanoseconds, you find out that memory is not uniform at all. Getting a value from RAM takes real time, and your CPU has no choice but to sit and wait for it. This post is about that wait. * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ How_Open_Source_Projects_Change_Hands⠀⇛ Dumb Ways for an Open Source Project to Die listed the ways projects end up dead, and most of the entries describe a moment where maintainership should have moved to someone else and didn’t. This is the other, shorter inventory: the mechanisms that exist for a project to change hands, and who can trigger each one. * ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Code_is_a_message_to_the_future⠀⇛ Code is not only a set of instructions for a machine. It’s a message to the next engineer who has to read, extend, or debug it. It’s a message to your teammates in review. It’s a message to yourself six months from now, when all the original context is gone. A commit message is a Slack message that has to stand on its own. No thread. No way to ask a follow-up question. Often read years after it was written. Once you treat code as communication, the questions you should ask yourself change. Is this commit understandable on its own? Can someone review this PR in order? Does this comment explain why the code exists, or does it just repeat what the code already says? * ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_rspdlite_0.1.0-1_on_CRAN:_New Package!⠀⇛ Very happy to share that a new package rspdlite arrived on CRAN today in its inaugural version 0.1.0-1. It wraps and provides the (header-only) C++20 library spdlite which its author describes (aptly) as tiny, fast, capable. Just like its bigger sibbling spdlog (which we wrapped as rcppspdlog), it is written by Gabi_Melman. * ⚓ Adam_Young:_Downloading_from_gitlab⠀⇛ We use gitlab to post internal releases of archives. I want to be able to automate the process of downloading these artifacts. Here it is using the glab_CLI. * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ New_Package_Submission_Process⠀⇛ Bioconductor is moving towards using R-universe for its daily build system. See our previous blog post Collaborating between Bioconductor and R-universe on Development of Common Infrastructure. As we move in this direction it was also necessary to update the submission process for Bioconductor packages. While the daily builders are still transitioning, the new submission process location is now live. The new system utilizes GitHub Actions to trigger review milestones and R- Universe as the build/check backend. The new system provides a smoother experience; it is more automated and avoids administrative steps that have historically bottlenecked the review process. o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Bioconductor_Maintainer_Validation⠀⇛ Bioconductor policies include being an active and reachable maintainer. Maintainer emails in the DESCRIPTION of packages often go stale as maintainers change positions. There is also a necessity to have maintainers opt into Bioconductor policies and procedures as they change over time. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ MJ Fransen ☛ Start_Guile_shell_script_that_listens_on_a_port_for REPL_client⠀⇛ Guile, while running a program, can listen to a port for a REPL client, like a Swank server on SBCL. Here's how to connect from Geiser to a running Guile script. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Vikash Patel ☛ Constructing_Concurrent_Inverted_Indexes_in_Go_| Lorbic⠀⇛ Building a thread-safe inverted index from scratch in Go. Covers sharded mutexes, lock contention profiling, slice pooling to avoid GC pressure, and benchmark comparisons against a naive sync.RWMutex approach under varying read/ write ratios. o ⚓ Tim Bray ☛ Automata,_Built_For_Comfort_or_Speed⠀⇛ Since it’s been so long, here’s what Quamina, a Go- language library, does: You can add “Patterns” to a Quamina instance, they match the values of fields in JSON objects, and then you show Quamina a JSON “Event” and it’ll tell you which Patterns matched it. It’s pleasingly fast and in many cases the speed is not strongly affected by the number of Patterns you’re trying to match. o ⚓ Kevin McDonald ☛ The_Hidden_Cost_of_google.protobuf.Value⠀⇛ Migrating legacy JSON APIs to gRPC frequently stumbles over a common anti-pattern: unstructured, dynamic JSON fields (such as metadata or extra_properties) mapped directly into Protobuf using google.protobuf.Value or google.protobuf.Struct. These belong to Protobuf’s Well-Known Types (WKTs), a library of standardized, common message schemas defined by Google (such as Timestamp, Duration, and Any) that ship out-of-the-box with the Protobuf compiler to provide consistent representation for reusable data structures across different languages.

So yeah, it does not run Android or AOSP, and Raven is already building apps with future spatial environments in mind. The device supports SSH out of the box, can be rooted, and system images are planned for release soon. Moreover, as a native ARM64 Linux platform, it can run anything built for that environment, including Unity, web apps, local AI models, and agents. At launch, the Raven Prism is set to ship with more than 25 apps, and if you want to build for it, the SDK is live on GitHub, with a development kit also in the works.

In order to understand something well, I think you need to deploy it, especially when it comes to Kubernetes. And I find that digging into the custom resource definitions (CRDs) and each component in the control and data plane is extremely helpful for a beginner looking to understand Kubernetes services. So, I decided to do that here. After setting up a two-GPU cluster with NVIDIA L4s, I deployed a small language model to see exactly how it operates. This is not about running llm-d with GuideLLM benchmark numbers (that's part 2). This article focuses on understanding the architecture, including what Kubernetes resources get created, how they connect, and why the Red Bait Hey Hi (AI) Inference components make these choices. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Store_immutable_Hey_Hi_(AI)_evaluation_records_with_EvalHub and_OCI [Ed: More and more slop promotion]⠀⇛ EvalHub:_Because_"looks_good_to_me"_isn't_a_benchmark identified the reproducibility crisis as a structural failure in enterprise Hey Hi (AI) evaluation: benchmark scores without the environment metadata that produced them are claims, not evidence. Evaluation-driven_development_with_EvalHub showed how EvalHub's automatic MLflow integration closes that gap for experiment tracking, recording every evaluation run with its configuration, model version, collection version, and hardware tags. MLflow solves the queryability problem. It does not solve the immutability problem. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ The_evolution_of_agentic_Hey_Hi_(AI)_and_text-to-SQL [Ed: Only slop promotion on this site during Tuesday]⠀⇛ Welcome back to our series on building a conversational analyst with Red Bait OpenShift Hey Hi (AI) and EnterpriseDB's (EDB's) PG Airman MCP server. In Integrate_OpenShift_Hey_Hi_(AI)_and_PG Airman_MCP_Server, we discussed the need for making relational databases accessible to non-technical users and successfully deployed our Data Governance Copilot Hey Hi (AI) quickstart. In this installment, we will explore the exact meaning of agentic AI, how it differs from traditional retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and how modern LLM-based agents address AI's decades-old text-to-SQL challenge. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ What's_new_with_image_builder_for_Red_Hat_Enterprise Linux_10.2_and_9.8⠀⇛ The image-builder command is available as an RPM in the AppStream repository and as a container image in the Red Hat container registry.

I recently started my Outreachy internship with the Fedora community, and this is my first blog as an intern. In this post, I want to share what my first two weeks have been like, what I’ve learned so far, and what I’m looking forward to in the next phase of the internship. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Red_Hat_gives_Ubuntu_a_bootc_up_the_backside_at Canonical_shindig⠀⇛ At a Canonical event, we didn't expect a presentation on using Red Hat's container management tools, but if this is something you might need, it does sound useful. At Ubuntu Summit 26.04, Red Hat Principal Software Engineer Joseph Marrero Corchado presented a talk called Bootc: Use your container knowledge and infrastructure to build and deploy your Ubuntu hosts. Although Ubuntu is very strong in the desktop Linux space, in large corporate server environments, Ubuntu is just another distro among many. This can be a good thing: it is just another Linux distro, and that means that it's perfectly possible to deploy and manage it using existing FOSS tooling. Marrero introduced himself by saying that he works at Red Hat, but personally runs Ubuntu – and has been doing so for long enough that he has some original media from Canonical's ShipIt program, which the company discontinued in 2011. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2200 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/Sailfish_OS_GNU_Linux_on_Commodore.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/Sailfish_OS_GNU_Linux_on_Commodore.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Sailfish OS (GNU/Linux) on "Commodore"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 17, 2026 * ⚓ Liliputing ☛ Commodore_Callback_8020_is_a_distraction-free_flip_phone that_runs_Linux-based_Sailfish_OS_with_support_for_(some)_Android_apps⠀⇛ The Commodore Callback 8020 is a new phone that’s up for pre- order for $500 and which is expected to ship before the end of 2026. But it looks like a flip-phone from the early 2000s, and that’s intentional. Positioned as a distraction-free phone with a retro-inspired design that evokes Nokia handsets from the turn of the century, the phone also has some features inspired by classic Commodore computers and other devices (like calculators). It’s clear that the new owner of the Commodore brand is looking to capitalize on the nostalgia factor. But unlike some other modern phones positioned as distraction-free or minimalist devices, the Callback 8020 is actually a full-fledged smartphone… with a few very unusual limitations. * ⚓ Cybernews ☛ Commodore_releases_$500_Linux-based_phone_that_doesn't support_Slack_or_Instagram⠀⇛ What may look like another dumb phone at first glance is actually something “in between,” the company explained. Nowadays, more is being talked about the excessive use of smartphones. With that, more people are looking for alternatives to reduce their time spent online. Considering this, the company has launched Commodore Callback 8020. “Callback may be designed to help you spend less time staring at a screen, but when you need to capture something, it makes it count,” stated the company. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Commodore_announces_Linux-based_flip_phone_with_‘no social_control_media,_no_browser’_—_the_Callback_8020_will_be_available in_five_retro_colorways_starting_at_$499,_runs_99%_of_Android_apps⠀⇛ After some teasing and a couple of red herrings Commodore today unveiled a retro-styled flip phone dubbed the Callback 8020. [...] After switching to an Android flip phone, in an effort to promote digital well-being, Fractic says the process involved “learning what worked, what didn’t, and what people wanted.” Thus, the Callback 8020 was designed as “the perfect middle ground between dumb and smart, and what should a Commodore phone be today?” ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2280 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/Season_of_Record_Breaking_Microsoft_Layoffs_is_Upon_Us.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/Season_of_Record_Breaking_Microsoft_Layoffs_is_Upon_Us.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Season of Record-Breaking Microsoft Layoffs is Upon Us⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 17, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Couple_Of_Turtledoves⦈_ We're only a few days away from the year's longest day and this week I've been listening to a Vivaldi "Four Seasons" CD, which I acquired at the market.

These are signs of desperation. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Couple_Of_Turtledoves ⣿⣧⣅⠀⣿⠿⢊⣥⣿⣿⢇⣤⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⣿⢿⣿⣵⣧⣿⡹⣇⠀⠀⠀⠈⢱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⢀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠒⠂⠀⢳⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⡟⢀⣿⣿⡏⣼ ⣿⢋⣿⠷⣣⡀⠛⣧⣬⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠚⠀⠀⢠⡀⡸⠗⢁⣾⣿⡛⣿⣿⡇⢿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣵⣿⣄⡘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⠀⠀⠲⢻⣿⣿⣯⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⠇⣾⣿⡟⣰⣿ ⠀⣫⣴⣶⢾⣿⣶⣾⠟⣿⣿⡿⠀⣰⠈⠀⠤⠘⣣⣤⣶⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⡸⠷⢘⠃⠀⠀⠀⠐⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⢀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣿⡟⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⢡⣿⣿ ⣰⢽⣿⠏⢀⣿⣿⢟⣵⣿⣿⠟⠁⠣⣀⣠⡄⣼⣿⣿⣦⣜⣻⣼⣿⣿⣆⢿⣇⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢳⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣀⣿⣿⣿⠛⠙⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡻⣿⣿⣿⣷⡇⠀⠼⠂⣾⣿⣺⣿⣿⣿⣗⣿⢱⣿⣿⠇⣾⣿⣿ ⣈⠑⠙⠻⣿⣿⢩⣾⣿⡟⠋⠀⡄⠀⢺⣿⢅⡿⢿⠃⢘⣿⣿⡧⣿⣿⣏⣨⡥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠆⢽⣿⣧⣴⣴⣶⢐⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⡁⢙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢃⣾⣿⣟⣼⣿⣿⣿ ⢻⣿⣿⢦⣬⣚⠙⢿⣿⣀⡀⠀⢀⣈⣩⡀⠘⠁⡀⣴⣽⠿⠛⠋⣿⣋⣉⡁⢆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⢻⣿⢟⣛⠇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣼⣧⣜⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠘⢿⣹⡼⠯⢟⣃⡢⣙⠛⠛⢶⣿⣿⠟⠻⠿⠛⢛⠉⠁⣀⠒⣃⢻⣽⣏⡁⠀⠴⡇⠀⠀⠀⠘⣅⠀⠐⢤⣀⠀⠀⡆⢀⣤⣀⣿⣿⣯⣤⣽⣷⣶⣮⣽⣟⣿⣿⡏⠁⠀⠈⠹⢯⣿⣿⣷⣿⣽⣗⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿ ⡀⠈⠫⣧⣾⡿⢉⣝⣮⢿⣟⣥⣤⠀⠀⣠⣀⣴⣶⣶⡼⠃⣀⠹⠻⣿⣿⢃⠀⠸⠃⠀⠀⠀⠠⡇⠉⠂⠀⠉⣉⣠⣗⢸⣿⣷⣭⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡻⠆⠀⠌⢒⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣄⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡦⠀⠘⠚⠈⠙⠿⠾⠾⠷⠶⠿⠶⠀⠈⠁⠉⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⢀⡀⡉⠹⣧⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣷⠀⠠⢀⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣻⢋⡆⠀⠀⠈⠿⢿⣾⣯⣽⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣡⣴⡆⠀⢀⠠⠀⢶⣆⣠⣤⣶⣶⣶⡐⠺⣖⣌⡛⢿⡇⠀⣸⣿⣛⡇⢀⣤⡈⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⡇⠀⠚⠛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣘⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠠⣿⡟⠇⣿⣉⣼⣿⣏⣧⡸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣉⢻ ⠛⠿⠿⢿⣎⡁⠀⠸⢟⣿⠿⣿⣧⣴⣧⣰⣿⢾⣿⣶⣇⠼⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣩⣴⣶⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⢩⣇⡀⢀⢉⣍⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⡟⠡⢲⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀⠘⣏⢿⡽⣿⣿⡏⣿⠿⠃⣛⠛⠛⡿⠿⢿ ⢠⣾⡧⠐⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠹⢾⣷⣿⣿⣷⣧⡀⠺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣲⢿⣷⠎⣿⣿⡛⡛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠰⠏⠁⠀⢈⣴⣾⡇⠀⠉⣿⣿⢿⣿⣶⣄⠀⠙⠻⣾⣿⣿⣫⣽⠀⠀⢰⠀⡉⣿⣳⢺⣿⣷⣇⠀⠀⠋⠀⣶⠂⣶⠆ ⠛⠿⣳⠾⠀⣀⣿⡧⢠⡆⠀⠉⠻⢿⣷⣿⠿⣷⣶⣤⣬⣼⣿⣦⠀⠘⠻⣿⣷⢔⣤⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⠙⠛⣿⣿⣿⢀⠀⢄⣐⣦⣸⣧⢬⣼⡿⣏⣀⠲⡀⣤⡛⠀⠋⠀ ⣄⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣵⠛⢰⣾⣶⣄⢀⠙⠻⢷⣦⣌⡙⠛⠿⠿⠛⠀⣀⣤⣈⣋⣴⣆⣃⣀⣀⠀⢀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣸⣿⢉⣝⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⢤⡙⠻⣿⣿⡧⠀⣈⠙⠛⢿⣽⣿⡟⡿⣮⣷⣾⡿⠿⣿⠏⠀ ⣿⢍⣙⡿⠛⡋⢹⡇⠘⣖⣿⣿⣿⡌⣧⣀⡀⠙⠻⢿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⢠⣄⡙⠻⠄⢿⢾⡿⢿⡀⢬⣴⣿⠋⣰⣬⣬⡄⠀⠻⠷⢮⣭⢻⣿⣿⠳⠻⣿⣿⣷⠆⣿⠀⠸ ⠛⠙⠓⣶⣒⠶⠼⡗⠀⠁⠙⢿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣔⣦⣄⠉⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠧⢰⡀⠀⣸⣿⡏⠀⠀⠆⡄⠀⡷⠀⡉⢿⣿⣿⠃⠬⠈⡏⠀⠺⣿⢞⣿⣿⣯⠇⠀⠀⠉⣦⠉⠠⠀⠀⠘ ⢷⡴⣶⣿⠿⠷⡶⠩⠲⠆⠈⠿⠿⠿⠗⠛⠉⠉⠀⢀⣐⣤⡀⠉⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠈⣡⡧⠟⡁⠠⠾⣧⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠁⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠈⠇⠀⢀⡻⠶⣿⣯⠏⠀⠀⠒⢄⠁⠀⢴⣧⣶⡷ ⠀⠹⠯⢹⡁⠂⢀⡀⢘⡷⠀⢸⡀⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⢈⠉⠛⠛⠛⠒⠀⠀⠈⠉⢻⣯⣭⣽⡿⠿⠋⠻⠻⢻⡇⠂⢠⣿⡇⠸⠋⣄⡝⢳⡀⠀⠛⠀⣀⣀⣠⣠⣄⠂⠀⡀⠤⠼⠿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⢠⣤⠀⣸⣿⠿⠋⠁⠀⠉ ⠀⠀⡄⢀⠀⣀⠈⠉⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠘⠉⠀⠠⢞⡿⠦⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⢿⡷⠾⠶⠖⠂⠁⠀⠀⢰⣿⠅⠀⡼⣿⠃⠀⣤⣄⠀⢁⣉⡉⠛⠏⠑⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢙⠻⠋⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⠶⠶⠿⠛ ⣠⣄⡇⠻⣨⣏⠉⠓⠀⠂⢠⡔⠀⠀⢠⣤⣤⣤⡀⢀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⢾⡄⠘⣿⢿⣾⡇⢰⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡾⡝⠻⡍⠉⣠⣤⡄⠄⠀⠀ ⢛⠛⠓⠲⠿⣿⡦⣤⣤⣿⣿⣦⡄⠇⠦⠈⢿⣿⣇⣈⢁⡄⢀⡀⠀⠐⢀⡀⠀⠠⡤⠀⡀⠀⠀⢷⡄⠀⢀⣤⣿⣆⣀⣤⣤⡼⠶⠆⠩⠤⠙⠀⠀⠉⢻⡿⠉⠳⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⣿⣾⣿⡟⠁⢸⡆⠀ ⣎⠁⣤⣠⣦⠉⢁⠉⠹⠟⠛⠃⠁⠀⠀⢻⣾⡛⣿⣿⣎⢻⡞⠃⣠⣶⣻⠿⣷⣿⣷⣶⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢡⣽⣻⣿⣶⣾⣶⣦⠀⠀⢠⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠛⠀⠀⡿⣿⠙⢃⡞⠸⠃⠀ ⣾⣿⣿⠟⣧⣄⣨⣃⣀⣀⠺⢿⣦⣷⡀⠀⠙⠛⠀⣻⣿⣷⢶⡄⢸⣷⣶⣶⣧⣭⣽⣛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢋⡉⣩⡙⠻⠿⠦⢤⢼⢿⡧⠽⠶⠆⡐⠀⠀⣠⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢀⠀⣤⠀⢸⣳⣾⣷⣾⠄⠀⢰⣧ ⣿⠟⡋⢸⣿⣿⢯⣻⣿⡟⢠⣾⣿⣯⣩⣄⣀⢀⣴⡿⠋⠓⠾⢷⡰⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣯⣤⡄⠂⠀⠀⠄⣦⣠⡝⢸⣿⡀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣳⠡⠀⢸⣿⣤⣼⣥⡄⠀⠸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⢾⣿⣿⣻⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣷⣶⣤⣀⣀⠀⠈⢏⠛⠿⢿⡏⠀⣠⣾⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠁⢹⠨⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣶⡗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡝⣴⡀⠸⢷⠟⢧⣽⡆⠀⣀⢹ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢸⣶⣷⣄⡀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠻⡆⠁⠛⣿⣿⠗⠀⠝⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣧⢨⠀⢫⠉⠀⠠⡜⠳⢸⣿⣤ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2341 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/Security_and_Windows_TCO_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/Security_and_Windows_TCO_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security and Windows TCO Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 17, 2026 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Tuesday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (mod_http2, postfix, and webkit2gtk3), Debian (bird2, libgd-perl, and libreoffice), Fedora (7zip, ack, hugo, and perl-Mojo-JWT), Mageia (atril, evince, xreader, emacs, lcms2, libgcrypt, libinput, libsndfile, putty, and sudo), Red Hat (openssl and osbuild-composer), SUSE (cheat, chromedriver, containerized- data-importer, cyrus-imapd, freeipmi, graphicsmagick, java-11- openj9, java-17-openj9, kitty, kubevirt, kubevirt-1.6, libcaca, libopenssl-3-devel, librav1e0_8, neonmodem, opensc, openssh, openssl-1_0_0, openssl-1_1, openssl-3, perl-HTTP-Daemon, perl- XML-LibXML, python-python-dotenv, python311-paramiko, python311-PyJWT, python311-starlette, python311-tornado6, qemu, restic, and trivy), and Ubuntu (adsys, cups, fastnetmon, freerdp2, freerdp3, mesa, nginx, rsync, ruby2.3, ruby2.5, and tmux). * ⚓ Security Week ☛ iRhythm_Confirms_Data_Stolen_in_Hack⠀⇛ The digital health company said it learned of the breach on June 8 and the attackers demanded a ransom. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Cal_Water_Investigating_Iranian_Hackers’_Claims⠀⇛ California Water Service says there is no indication of operational disruptions to its water and wastewater systems.  * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ AI’s_constant_patching_treadmill_can_be_a_security problem⠀⇛ The breakneck speed of model releases may be creating short, silent security gaps as developers must choose between performance and security, according to a new report. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Cybercrime_Group_Claims_Novo_Nordisk_Hack⠀⇛ The hack-and-leak group FulcrumSec claims to have stolen 1.3TB of data from the pharmaceutical giant. * § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾ o ⚓ SANS ☛ From_a_VHDX_File_to_a_Remcos_RAT,_(Tue,_Jun_16th)⠀⇛ Once unzipped, it contains a VHDX file that discloses a malicious JavaScript after being mounted (which is automatic on modern backdoored Windows OSs): [...] o ⚓ Bleeping Computer ☛ Windows_version_of_SprySOCKS_Linux_malware used_to_attack_govt_orgs⠀⇛ Windows variants for the SprySOCKS Linux malware have been used in attacks targeting government organizations in at least four countries.

A newly discovered job listing suggests the company is interested in strengthening its anti-cheat efforts on Linux, which could be important news for Steam Deck and SteamOS users. Earlier this year, we saw something similar from EA for its Javelin anti- cheat. * ⚓ Epic_Is_Looking_For_Someone_To_"Champion_Linux_Anti-Cheat_Capabilities" [Ed: Developing a Linux rootkit, basically]⠀⇛ One of the few reasons games may not work on the Steam Deck is due to anti-cheat. Kernel-level anti-cheats require access to the kernel of an OS, and that is specifically designed for Windows. That means playing any of these games on any other operating system, including SteamOS, is impossible. Some of the biggest games are impossible to play on the Deck because of it, including Call of Duty and Fortnite. However, it’s possible the latter may soon become compatible, because developer Epic is looking for someone who could “champion Linux anti-cheat capabilities for Epic.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⢹ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡈⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⡼ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⡆⢿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⢹⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣱⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡛⣛⣻⡟⣛⡻⣿⢻⣿⢟⣛⢻⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⡇⣿⡇⣿⢸⣿⢸⣿⣀⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⡇⣬⣿⡇⣿⣧⣿⢸⣿⢸⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠿⢿⡇⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⠸⠿⢀⣿⣿⣿⢀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡟⠀⠀⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣯⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⣠⣼ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⡞⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣡⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⠟ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡁⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⣷⣯⠛⣿⢿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢡⣠⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⣠⣼⣿⣿⠏⠁⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⢐⣿⣿⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣦⣤⣼⣿⣧⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⠀⢦⣴⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠃⠀⢐⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⡿⠋ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⣰⣾⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⠟⠁⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⣢⣤⣄⣶⣮⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⠋⠁⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2527 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/The_Netherlands_is_Leaving_Microsoft_Behind.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/The_Netherlands_is_Leaving_Microsoft_Behind.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The Netherlands is Leaving Microsoft Behind⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 17, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Dutch_Cheese_Shop⦈_ Last month: statCounter_Reckons_GNU/Linux_Rose_to_7%_in_The_Netherlands, Windows_at_All-Time_Lows This month: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Desktop_Operating_System_Market_Share_Netherlands⦈_ The Netherlands continues to adopt GNU/Linux while Windows sheds off a lot, based_on_statCounter.

helped me uncover every problem on my network — Once your network stops being a single flat LAN with a few friendly devices on it, guessing becomes a very poor way to debug anything. Between VLANs, containers, DNS filtering, self-hosted services, NAS traffic, random IoT chatter, and a few machines that always seem to be doing something in the background, the problem is rarely as simple as “the internet is slow.” That is where Linux is still hard to beat. A few small command-line tools can tell you more about a live network than many polished dashboards, especially when the fault is not that big to bring everything down but annoying enough to keep coming back. These are the Linux monitoring tools that help me uncover what is actually happening across my network, instead of relying on router summaries, half-useful web panels, or the old “Have you tried restarting?” until things work.

authorized_keys, known_hosts, config, and the recommended permissions for each file. * ⚓ Dan Langille ☛ Replacing_syslogd_with_syslog-ng_(sysutils/syslog-ng)_on FreeBSD⠀⇛ I will be using TLS between syslog-ng and victoria-logs – you will notice this is all on the same host, and some of you might say: you don’t need TLS for that. However, this is a proof-of- concept for remote hosts. They will be passing traffic through my VPN and my network. Or perhaps over the Internet. Things change. Let’s start with TLS. * ⚓ Dan Langille ☛ LibreNMS_26.6.0_&_itable_cache_directories_vntl/var/db/ ⠀⇛ I updated my version of LibreNMS to 26.6.0 and there are “decent sized refactor to the rrd processes” – I’m seeing the following: [...] * § linuxcapable⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ arp_Command_in_Linux:_View_and_Manage_ARP_Cache⠀⇛ Local IPv4 neighbor problems are easier to pin down when you can read the ARP cache, compare legacy arp output with ip neigh, and remove stale mappings without turning a quick check into a permanent fix. o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ wc_Command_in_Linux:_Count_Lines,_Words,_and Bytes⠀⇛ Count text without guessing: the wc command guide explains how lines, words, bytes, characters, pipelines, NUL-safe file lists, totals, and newline edge cases behave in real shell workflows. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_WGDashboard_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ WGDashboard gives you a web-based way to manage WireGuard without living in the terminal all day. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ Pidof_Command_in_GNU/Linux_with_Examples⠀⇛ Running a GNU/Linux server means dealing with processes constantly. You need to find them, monitor them, and sometimes kill them when they hang. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_WireGuard_on_Fedora_44⠀⇛ Most sysadmins who run a GNU/Linux server eventually hit the same wall: [...] ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3184 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/Ubuntu_Touch_Ubuntu_GNU_Linux_and_Canonical_Promoting_Slop.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/Ubuntu_Touch_Ubuntu_GNU_Linux_and_Canonical_Promoting_Slop.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu Touch, Ubuntu GNU/Linux, and Canonical Promoting Slop⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 17, 2026 * ⚓ Mike_Gabriel:_Ubuntu_Touch_development_-_24.04-2.0_Beta_and_Meaning_of Branching-Off⠀⇛ The next Ubuntu Touch major release is approaching rapidly, yesterday we reached a major step in the preparation of the upcoming Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0 release: The branching-off (see below on what that is). * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Why_servers_running_Ubuntu_can_stall_on_boot for_two_minutes⠀⇛ What's changed in Ubuntu 26.04 is that the Ubuntu server installer appears to write out an 'accept-ra: false' property for every interface it detects, even if you disabled the interface during network configuration in the installer. Since the installer itself now mentions every interface in your generated Netplan configuration, Netplan writes .network files for all of them to /run/systemd/network and you wind up 'waiting' for carrier on every interface on boot, causing a two minute delay, which is the default timeout used by systemd- networkd-wait-online (it's the --timeout option's default value). You can fix this either by setting 'ignore-carrier: true' on every such interface or by deleting all of those interfaces from your Netplan configuration. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Template:_Streamlining_open_source_design_contributions⠀⇛ In the 2025 edition of FOSSBackstage conference, we presented our research findings on  why designers don’t get involved in open source projects and found a particular breakdown between designers and project maintainers.  * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Beyond_Mythos:_responding_to_a_new_threat_landscape [Ed: Mythoslop is a lot of hype]⠀⇛ AI changes vulnerability discovery volume and speed. We have a robust vulnerability management process that is backed by rigorous compliance certifications. These processes have demonstrated robustness in stringent ecosystems and we are adapting them with more exposure mapping, better customer guidance, and clearer remediation paths. This is where AI makes our customer service and internal responses more efficient. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ A_look_into_Ubuntu_Core_26:_Building_a_local_AI_inference appliance_in_a_virtual_machine [Ed: Slop promotion, not atypical at Canonical]⠀⇛ In this first blog, Farshid Tavakolizadeh, Engineer Manager for Canonical’s Industrial team, will show you how to try Ubuntu Core 26 inside a virtual machine and turn it into a local AI inference appliance using Multipass and the gemma4 snap. Running Ubuntu Core in a VM is a useful starting point for developers who want to experiment before moving to dedicated hardware. You can explore the Ubuntu Core environment, install snaps, expose services to your host machine, and test how an appliance-style experience could work in production. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3268 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/Weekly_GNU_like_Mobile_Linux_Update_and_Last_Week_at_So_called_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/Weekly_GNU_like_Mobile_Linux_Update_and_Last_Week_at_So_called_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Weekly GNU-like Mobile Linux Update and Last Week at So-called 'FSFE'⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 17, 2026 * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux On Mobile ☛ 2026-06-14_[Older]_Weekly_GNU-like_Mobile_Linux Update_(24/2026):_More_Cameras_on_Mobian⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § So-called_'FSFE'⠀➾ # ⚓ FSFE ☛ 2026-06-15_[Older]_DMA:_Protecting_Device_Neutrality in_Android_Devices⠀⇛ # ⚓ FSFE ☛ 2026-06-12_[Older]_SFP#52:_Policy_and_EU:_Insights from_the_T-DOSE_conference_and_the_Dutch_community⠀⇛ # ⚓ FSFE ☛ 2026-06-08_[Older]_Decades-long_victory,_bold_Apple survey_findings,_legal_workshop_success_&_our_50th_podcast episode⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3311 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/We_tested_Linux_on_the_new_Lenovo_ThinkPad_T16_Gen_5_AMD.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/06/17/We_tested_Linux_on_the_new_Lenovo_ThinkPad_T16_Gen_5_AMD.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ We tested Linux on the new Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 5 AMD⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jun 17, 2026 Quoting: We tested Linux on the new Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 5 AMD - Notebookcheck News — Lenovo's ThinkPad series offers Linux support in general and some models can be purchased with Linux out of the box. These are good prerequisites if you do not want to use Windows 11 or if you are concerned about the current memory situation. We recently reviewed the new ThinkPad T16 Gen 5, which is only shipped with 16 GB RAM. This is still sufficient for many tasks when running Windows, but if you really want to upgrade your memory considering the current price situation (16 GB currently around 200 Euros) is another question. Linux has lower system requirements and does not install as much bloatware, so the 16 GB setup gives you a little more headroom. Lenovo's official documentation lists Fedora Linux, ubuntu Linux and Linux as supported operating systems, even though some features might not work properly (like the WWAN module, for example). We used the latest version of Ubuntu (26.04) and created a bootable USB drive. To load Ubuntu from the drive, please make sure to deactivate the Secure Boot option in the BIOS.
