Asus laptop, one Redditor went with a lower-cost option. After switching the machine to Linux, the laptop remained useful. The story resonated with visitors to the r/Anticonsumption subreddit who would rather stretch the life of a device than replace it. § What happened? The original poster explained in a post that installing Linux let them keep using the aging Asus rather than replace it. For many people, a laptop doesn't need to be top of the line to handle basic tasks. That was true of the OP, who said it'd be used for light work or watching movies. "I was impressed by how much the Linux OS able to optimise my laptop and now it's as smooth as butter," they wrote. "Saved a tons of money from buying a new one. I can say that I am proud of becoming one of the 'anti-consumption' community." Other Redditors described how they repurpose older electronics into backup devices or computers set aside for specific jobs instead of leaving them in storage or throwing them away.

I don’t need to rotate logs to compressed files. I can temporarily expand virtual disks to raw images without taking up the entire maximum space of the disk. It’s also great for thwarting zipbomb attacks! * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Where_a_Linux_kernel_memory_allocation_error comes_from⠀⇛ This particular function has cropped up before, and this message from it means that you're hitting a limit on how much memory the kernel will let the process ask for under the current circumstances. Generally this means you're operating in strict overcommit mode, because it's hard (but not impossible) to get the Linux kernel to refuse to give you memory otherwise. * ⚓ The_Linux_community_has_developed_a_new_policy_regarding_AI-generated code.⠀⇛ Greg Kroah Hartman, a key Linux kernel developer, announced new rules regarding the use of large language models and artificial intelligence. Effective immediately, all patches for the drivers/staging/ subsystem created using neural networks will be automatically rejected. An exception will be made only for genuine security fixes that have passed preliminary testing and benchmarking on physical hardware. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 331 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/05/Canonical_s_Go_to_Excuse_Security_to_Make_Ubuntu_More_Proprieta.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/05/Canonical_s_Go_to_Excuse_Security_to_Make_Ubuntu_More_Proprieta.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Canonical's Go-to Excuse (Security) to Make Ubuntu More Proprietary (Snap)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 05, 2026 * ⚓ Neowin ☛ Core_Ubuntu_package_to_be_turned_into_a_Snap;_Deb_ditched⠀⇛ Canonical, the firm behind the popular Ubuntu Linux, has decided to change the distribution format of the core hwctl system package from Deb to Snap, Canonical in-house package format. This core package is a command-line tool that allows you to check the Ubuntu Hardware Certification status of your system by collecting local hardware information and checking it against Canonical’s hardware database. * ⚓ Dolphin Publications B V ☛ Canonical_replaces_key_Ubuntu_tool_with_more secure_snap_format⠀⇛ Canonical is once again migrating a system package to the snap format. The package in question is hwctl, a small command-line utility that comes standard with Ubuntu. According to the company, the switch improves security and enables better desktop integration. The Deb version will be discontinued. The hwctl package is part of Canonical’s rust-hwlib, a set of hardware APIs pre-installed on both the desktop and server editions of Ubuntu. From now on, Canonical will provide this utility exclusively as a sandboxed snap. The traditional Deb package is being phased out. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 378 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/05/Developing_with_Fedora_first_flock_and_not_the_last.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/05/Developing_with_Fedora_first_flock_and_not_the_last.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Developing with Fedora, first flock, and not the last!⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 05, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Fedora_flock⦈_ Quoting: Developing with Fedora, first flock, and not the last! - Fedora Magazine — I want to start by appreciating the Flock organizers and volunteers. Putting together an event like this takes a lot of quiet, unglamorous work, and it showed in how smoothly everything ran. Thanks for that! I’d also like to thank the event sponsors. Their support makes it possible for contributors from all over the world to come together, learn from one another, and strengthen the Fedora community. I also want to appreciate my mentor, Jona, for pushing and supporting me until I finally made it. And a big thank you to Fedora for the sponsorship that got me there. This year I also got to be part of the Mentor Summit organizing team myself and helped put together the very sessions I used to just attend as a newcomer.

The last friendly will be against_Atletico_Madrid_on_Sunday and then the "real test" official begins against Arsenal a Sunday later. Today I spent a lot of time in shops at Manchester. I heard that the "hospitality" staff of the local club is super-friendly and it is also, as one might expect, super-inclusive. Manchester City is a very international team and Enzo Maresca looks like a 'body double' of the departing manager.

RSS feeds are the simplest way to get out of the algorithm's web. Every platform wants to decide what they think you should read. RSS feed is the resistance. You have a list of your own favorite websites that you trust (like It's FOSS), you add these sources in the feed reader and you get to see all the newly published articles from the sources you want. There are several feed readers for Linux desktop. Even email clients allow you to read from RSS feeds. But they are confined with a single machine. Since self-hosting is increasingly (and rightly) being popular these days, you can try self-hosting feed readers in your homelab. This should allow you to access your feeds on all the compatible devices on the home network. And if you want to go the self hosting way, I have a bunch of suggestions for you to explore.

It ingests full packet capture (PCAP) files, Zeek logs and Suricata alerts, then normalizes, enriches and correlates the data for investigation. Analysts can explore network activity through OpenSearch Dashboards and Arkime. Malcolm supports offline artifact analysis and live traffic capture, and can be deployed as containerized services on a workstation, server or Kubernetes cluster. It places particular emphasis on visibility into industrial control system protocols. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ SonicJS_-_edge-first_headless_content_management_system⠀⇛ SonicJS is an edge-first headless content management system designed for building fast, API-driven websites and applications. Written in TypeScript, it uses a schema-as-code approach to generate content APIs and an administrative interface from collection definitions. The platform is built around Hono and supports deployment to Cloudflare Workers with D1 databases and R2 object storage. It can also be self-hosted using Docker and SQLite, avoiding dependence on Cloudflare’s infrastructure. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Semaphore_Community_Edition_-_self-hosted_continuous_integration_and delivery_platform⠀⇛ Semaphore Community Edition is a self-hosted continuous integration and delivery platform. It helps development teams automate software builds and tests using YAML-defined workflows, parallel execution and self- hosted agents. The platform supports GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and other Git servers. It offers a visual workflow editor, build caching, artifacts, test reports, secrets management, repository status checks and notification integrations. It can be installed on an Ubuntu server or deployed to Kubernetes. Semaphore Community Edition comprises the code outside the repository’s ee directory. Enterprise Edition components are distributed under a separate commercial licence. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Shadow_-_discrete-event_network_simulator⠀⇛ Shadow is a discrete-event network simulator designed for realistic, scalable experiments with distributed systems. It directly executes real application code as native Linux processes, allowing software to run within a controlled simulated network without requiring application-level modifications. The software interposes on system calls and emulates the relevant operating system behaviour while modelling network protocols, routing, latency and packet loss. Experiments are deterministic and reproducible, making Shadow useful for debugging, performance analysis and research involving large numbers of network-connected processes. It has particularly strong support for large-scale Tor network simulations. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ StarlingMonkey_-_SpiderMonkey-based_JavaScript_runtime⠀⇛ StarlingMonkey is a SpiderMonkey-based JavaScript runtime optimized for use in WebAssembly Components. Its built-in functionality targets WASI 0.2.0 and provides a Component Model-based event loop. The runtime implements important web platform APIs, including Fetch, WHATWG Streams and text encoding. Its modular architecture lets developers add custom built-ins and host APIs for specific deployment environments. StarlingMonkey can evaluate dynamically loaded JavaScript or create specialized WebAssembly Components containing an application and its runtime. The latter approach offers faster startup and is suited to server-side JavaScript workloads. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Arkime_-_scalable_network_analysis_and_full_packet_capture_system⠀⇛ Arkime is a scalable network analysis and full packet capture system. It captures network traffic, stores packets in standard PCAP format, and indexes session metadata using OpenSearch or Elasticsearch. A web interface provides fast searching, browsing and exporting of captured traffic. Arkime is designed to complement existing intrusion detection and security monitoring systems rather than replace them. It can be distributed across multiple systems to analyse networks carrying tens of gigabits of traffic per second. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ 10_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Terminal-Based_Process_Managers⠀⇛ Process management software helps users launch, supervise and control long-running applications and background services. It can keep programs running after a terminal closes, restart them following a crash, collect logs, monitor resource usage and provide a central view of their status. These tools are particularly useful for development environments, self-hosted services and production deployments involving several commands or application components. Many support configuration files, dependency ordering, scheduled tasks, grouped operations and terminal-based dashboards, offering a lighter alternative to containers or full orchestration platforms. Here’s our verdict, presented in our legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. Only free and open source software qualifies for inclusion. * ⚓ LLRT_-_lightweight_JavaScript_runtime⠀⇛ LLRT (Low Latency Runtime) is a lightweight JavaScript runtime designed for fast, resource-efficient serverless applications. It is particularly focused on short-lived workloads running on AWS Lambda, where startup latency and memory consumption can have a significant impact. The runtime is written in Rust and uses QuickJS as its JavaScript engine. Unlike Node.js, Deno and Bun, LLRT does not use a just-in-time compiler. This reduces the runtime’s size and avoids JIT compilation overhead, helping small serverless functions start quickly. LLRT supports ES2023, ECMAScript modules, CommonJS modules, asynchronous programming and selected Node.js and Web Platform APIs. It also includes optimized AWS SDK for JavaScript clients within its standard and full SDK builds. LLRT is experimental and is not intended to be a drop-in replacement for Node.js. It is best suited to relatively small functions handling tasks such as data transformation, authorization, validation, event processing and AWS service integration. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Cloonix_-_network_virtualisation_platform⠀⇛ Cloonix is a network virtualisation platform for creating and managing complex virtual network topologies on Linux. It can combine KVM virtual machines with crun-based containers, allowing users to construct isolated labs for testing networking software, routing configurations and distributed systems. The software provides an interactive graphical canvas that displays machines, containers, interfaces and their connections. Virtual networks are built with Open vSwitch inside a dedicated Linux network namespace, keeping the host’s network configuration separate from the simulated environment. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ pypdf_-_read,_manipulate,_and_write_PDF_files⠀⇛ pypdf is a pure Python library for reading, manipulating, and writing PDF files. It can split, merge, crop, and transform pages as well as extract text, images, and metadata. The library also supports encryption, annotations, forms, attachments, outlines, and other PDF features. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ FASTBuild_-_high_performance_build_system⠀⇛ FASTBuild is a high performance build system for Linux, macOS and Windows. It focuses on reducing compile times for both full builds and local development. The software supports distributed compilation and object caching, and can work with a wide range of compilers and target architectures. This is free and open source software. ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⢿⠿⠃⠶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣿⣀⠈⠋⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡴⠧⠀⣀⣶⣶⣌⣽⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⣿⣻⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⢿⡟⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣯⣴⣾⣧⣤⡄⠀⣀⠠⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀ ⡇⠀⠈⠘⡁⣉⠀⢀⣠⣽⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣯⣝⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣷⡿⣻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣟⣊⣉⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⣀ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣀⣀⠠⣴⣷⣿⣿⣿ ⠇⠀⠐⠒⠃⢀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣼⣿⣿⣴⡀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣷⣿⣷⣿⣶⣷⣾⣾⣦⣭⣬⣹⣷⣿⣷⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠷⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⠋⠍⣠⣮⣅⣈⣻⣿⣿⣿ ⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣻⣏⣿⡿⣽⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣝⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⢿⣿⣿⡭⣛⡿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⢾⣿⣿⠶⠶⠶⠶⣿⣿⣿ ⡇⠒⠂⠴⣛⣭⣭⡕⢀⣬⣚⣗⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣷⡯⣫⣗⡼⠛⢱⣷⣦⣝⣒⣿⣢⠜⠧⢻⣿⣿ ⡗⠒⠚⠛⢗⣣⡮⢰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣏⠹⣻⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣖⠛⡕⠷⣾⡾⢿⣿⡋⡸⣋⡼⢷⢚⣿⣿ ⣧⡆⠐⢨⣖⠿⢿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣥⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣾⣷⣶⣾⣶⡯⡤⡃⢸⣿⣿ ⣷⣶⡄⠩⠿⠛⣷⣧⣤⣶⠇⢩⣽⣿⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣛⡻⡻⣿⣻⣹⡯⢽⡏⠉⠵⢤⡤⠾⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡿⠿⠶⢾⣿⡷⣷⣾⣾⣿⡿⢹⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣷⣽⣻⣿⣷⣾⠿⠿⠿⠿⠶⡷⢾⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡗⠶⠶⠶⢲⢆⣾⣿⣿⡟⢈⢼⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢺⣽⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⠎⣽⣿⣿⣓⢀⢌⢐⣒⠒⢰⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣮⣤⣶⣈⣻⣿⡟⣫⣑⡽⣮⣚⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣛⡶⡻⣉⠪⣻⣧⣳⣝⣛⣋⣹⣿⣿ ⣯⣽⣷⡄⠒⠐⠛⣭⠤⠿⣾⣿⢇⣿⣿⣿⠿⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣾⣿⢿⣶⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⡿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⠓⣻⣹⣿⣿⣤⣼⡟⢲⣤⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⣷⠀⠙⠽⠿⠷⣧⣭⡴⢿⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣟⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣯⣿⣷⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣽⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠿⣝⢦⣝⠳⠶⠿⠶⠶⠆⣩⢞⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣾⡉⠗⠓⠾⠿⠿⣚⣫⢯⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣻⡻⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⢟⣯⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣧⣝⡺⠿⠿⠿⠷⠚⢱⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡌⠙⡽⢿⣿⣤⣞⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣷⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⢿⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣽⣞⣛⣛⠛⠻⠃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡶⢆⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢗⣽⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠁⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⢸⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣰⣿⣻⢟⢿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣟⡻⣯⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣷⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⡿⠿⣿⣾⣏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 957 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/05/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Digital_Sovereignty_Sharing.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/05/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Digital_Sovereignty_Sharing.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software, Digital Sovereignty, Sharing Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 05, 2026 * ⚓ FSF ☛ July_GNU_Spotlight_with_Amin_Bandali_featuring_fourteen_new_GNU releases:_Screen,_Anastasis,_and_more!⠀⇛ Fourteen new GNU releases in the last month (as of July 31, 2026): [...] * ⚓ MJ Fransen ☛ jugulans_a_text_mode_mind_map_application⠀⇛ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ jugulans a text mode mind map application⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Jugulans is a text_mode mind_map application.

America is a lawless place now, where a pliable Supreme Court and supine Congress have affirmed that "it's not a crime if the president does it." The same tech giants who sold out to Trump for tax breaks and protection from antitrust enforcement will happily disconnect any member of the American public, any American company, any American official who displeases Trump. It's a strange irony that in this moment when so many of us are struggling to "de-Google" our lives, a forcible, sudden de-Googling amounts to a sort of digital death penalty: [...] o ⚓ Ayom Blog ☛ Offpunk_Manifesto⠀⇛ At the end of 2025, French judge Nicolas Guillou of the International Criminal Court lost all access to several American digital services — such as hosting, online shopping, and banking — provided by American companies like Airbnb, Amazon, and PayPal. The United States justified this sanction because Guillou issued arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, due to Israeli attacks of a genocidal nature in Palestinian territory. The United States is the main country supporting Israel's actions in Central Asia. The offpunk stance is born from a simple and uncomfortable observation: the digital realm is fragile. At the same time, all social life is forcibly embedded within this environment. Therefore, this stance takes into account that one must not depend entirely on virtual services, at the risk of one of them being sanctioned or becoming unavailable. Examples like the Microsoft server outage that impacted banking services worldwide in mid- 2024, the sanction of Twitter/X by the Brazilian government in late 2024, and the global outage of Amazon and Cloudflare servers in late 2025, which took down numerous domains on the internet, laid bare not only its fragility but also our dependence on these services. * § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ o § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ Rlang ☛ Centering_a_map_projection_on_the_mapped_region⠀⇛ The PROJ format for defining Coordinate Reference Systems (CRS) is becoming deprecated, as PROJ strings cannot accurately store modern datum transformations, coordinate epoch information, or complex axis order rules. However, that format is much easier and more practical for humans to type and read, and it is still often used as a legacy convenience. I, for one, use it often for centering a map projection on the mapped region, thus avoiding the distortion that occurs away from the projection center. For example, imagine I want to map New Zealand in a Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area projection in R: [...] ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1107 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/05/Games_Lighthouse_Theropods_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/05/Games_Lighthouse_Theropods_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Lighthouse, Theropods, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 05, 2026 * ⚓ Settlement_building_co-op_action-adventure_Necesse_'Rust_-_Romance' update_is_a_big_one_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Out now is the Rust & Romance free update for Necesse, a game that is necessary to play if you love co-op games that mix completely different genres.

CP/M was a staple among 8080 and Z80 computers and while there were other versions, we’ll always associate CP/M with the Z- 80. There was a CP/M made for the PC which used an 8088 (a hybrid 8-bit bus with a 16-bit 8086 core), but it was overwhelmed by MSDOS. However, there was another interesting version made for the 68000, and now [johnsonjh] has ported that over to create an early version of CP/M for 80386 protected mode. o ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ brew_install_actions/checkout⠀⇛ In December I went through why uses: is a package manager with no lockfile, no integrity hashes and no transitive visibility, and in April through the run of incidents that followed from that. GitHub’s 2026 security roadmap has since committed to a lockfile, now in preview as gh- actions-lock, and made immutable actions the preferred resolution path. Neither of those changes adds any review between an action author tagging a release and the runner executing it. Homebrew has run that kind of curated index for fifteen years and, as of the immutable-actions rollout, stores its artifacts as OCI manifests on ghcr.io alongside the actions themselves, so I spent some time working out how much of a GitHub Actions registry you could assemble from Homebrew parts. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ DragonFly BSD Digest ☛ VIDAR_at_NYCBUG,_tomorrow⠀⇛ Tomorrow’s presentation at NYCBUG is VIDAR, a FreeBSD-based automatic firewall program.  Read the event description for details.  Go, if you are near.  The announcement doesn’t mention streaming so you may need to be in-person. # ⚓ Undeadly ☛ Call_for_testing:_OpenBSD_vmm(4)/vmd(8)_fd- ification⠀⇛ Thanks to the tireless work of among others Dave Voutila (dv@), development of the OpenBSD/amd64 virtualization system vmm(4)/vmd(8) continues to make progress.

It's a fun hobby, but the last thing I need is to crash and delete my entire system (again). Beyond that, there's just something fun and satisfying about trying out a new OS, customizing it, and using it. With so many different Linux distros out there, there are bound to be a few that require more technical knowledge and expertise than others. Some of my Linux-enthusiast friends recommend both Gentoo and Linux from Scratch to me. I don’t think I’m quite ready to attempt Linux from Scratch yet (I’m getting there), but Gentoo seemed interesting. Considered by some to be the “most difficult” version of Linux, Gentoo seems both intriguing and challenging to work with. So I gave it a shot.

R and the CRAN repositories maintain a very high level of what we might call “quality assurrance” by requiring that newly- added code does not break any existing dependencies. This is frequently called a “reverse-dependency check”. For any given CRAN package one can quickly determine it reverse dependencies. * ⚓ Dominic Szablewski ☛ How_to_Make_a_Nintendo_64_Game_in_2026⠀⇛ Two years ago, I was Porting_my_JavaScript_Game_Engine_to_C_for No_Reason.

It is the ecosystem cashing in a forced upgrade to close a decade-old compromise in Certificate Transparency. Transparency stops being a post-issuance promise and becomes the issuance mechanism itself. The wire format changes. Most of the governance carries forward. * ⚓ Himanshu Anand ☛ Two_Parsers,_One_JSON_and_a_Flag:_Intigriti's_July 2026_Challenge⠀⇛ Intigriti’s July challenge is called “Canonically Yours” and the whole bug is one silly question: what happens when you put the same key in a JSON object twice? Turns out two different bits of code answer that differently and that gap give you the flag. * ⚓ Eric Bailey ☛ Here’s_yet_another_metaphor_about_tech_debt⠀⇛ The city next to the town I grew up in had a shopping center that was built atop a sanitary landfill. For those unfamiliar, creating a sanitary landfill involves taking landfill waste, spreading it into thin layers, compacting it, then paving over it. It enjoyed popularity as a practice in the 60s and 70s. * ⚓ Cory Dransfeldt ☛ Farewell_Cadence⠀⇛ Cadence was the first native app I'd authored in years and was an interesting challenge. Navidrome's support of the Subsonic API is well documented and clear. But streaming and dealing with audio is not easy. It likely wasn't the best choice of app to dive back in with, but I learned a lot. * ⚓ Artem Novichkov ☛ Using_SwiftUI’s_ContentBuilder_with_Non-View_Types⠀⇛ SwiftUI's result-builder syntax is usually associated with views. When I used the same language feature to compose action sheets, I had to declare a custom @resultBuilder and implement every form of control flow the API needed. The Xcode 27 SDK changes that. @ContentBuilder can assemble values that don't conform to View. We'll use it to build a type-safe deep-link router, then preserve the same syntax for earlier deployment targets. The key idea is simple: instead of teaching a new builder how to combine routes, we'll teach SwiftUI's containers how to route. * ⚓ Ata Kuyumcu ☛ Tests_for_a_PDF⠀⇛ Four checks that describe a file, one that describes the document and doesn’t run, one grep for a font, and a template full of defensive settings against a reader I have never observed. Put like that it’s not a great scoreboard. But the 200-character check is still the one I’d keep if I could only keep one, and it’s still the one most likely to fire, because “the text layer broke” is a thing that actually happens to PDFs and it’s invisible on screen. The rest is me guessing at what a parser wants and occasionally, as with the ligatures, being able to prove I guessed wrong and doing it anyway. * ⚓ Hisham ☛ The_Lua_community_needs_to_learn_to_move_on⠀⇛ If Roberto and Mike are EOLing the interpreters, maybe we should be doing the same for the libraries. If people really want to be using very very old versions of Lua, they should be using very very old versions of the supporting ecosystem as well, and not forcing maintainers into supporting 20+ years of legacy at all times. * ⚓ Pandoc ☛ twenty_years_of_pandoc⠀⇛ People often ask: Why is pandoc written in Haskell? There could have been good answers to this question: Haskell is a very good language for writing this kind of application. But in fact, I didn’t decide to write a document converter, then decide to use Haskell for it. I decided to use Haskell, and then decided to write a document converter in it. I had heard about Haskell from the blog of a philosophical logician friend, Greg Restall. Of an introductory book on Haskell, he said: “I’m glad that this wasn’t the textbook in my introductory computer science course, long ago in 1986. If it were, I may have fallen in love with computing and never become a philosopher” * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ R_GUI_Comparison_Update⠀⇛ Graphical user interfaces for the R language are easy to use and getting more powerful all the time. Here is my updated comparison of jamovi, JASP, BlueSky Statistics (free & Pro), Rattle, RKWard, R-Instat, R AnalyticFlow, and R Commander. With so many detailed reviews of Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for R available, which should you choose? It’s not too difficult to rate them based on the number of features they offer, so I’ll start there. Then, I’ll follow with a brief overview of each. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ C_is_for_command_line_interfaces_-_Python_A to_Z⠀⇛ Python is a great language for writing scripts that are executed from the command line. I’m a big fan of command line interfaces and love building them for all sorts of needs both personally and when I’m part of a team. o ⚓ Menno Finlay-Smits ☛ Projects_I_Wouldn't_Use_Python_For_in_2026⠀⇛ This talk starts with my early adoption of Python and the subsequent decades of using it for almost everything. It then moves into why Python isn't always the best choice and what I now often use instead. I still love Python though and the presentation finishes with where I think Python still shines. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Adam Johnson ☛ Zsh:_list_recently_modified_files_with_(m0)_glob qualifiers⠀⇛ My downloads directory is a junk pile that I just never get around to fully clearing. So if I’ve just downloaded a bunch of files, I normally want to work with them and ignore the rest of the files. To do this, I’ve found it convenient to have Zsh select recently modified files with glob qualifiers, the extra syntax you can add to filename globs. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Kevin McDonald ☛ The_CPU_Cost_of_Protobuf_Varints_in_Go⠀⇛ When you define an integer field in a Protocol Buffers schema, int64 is a common default. Varint encoding compresses small numbers into a byte or two, keeping network payloads lean. However, that compression comes at the cost of CPU cycles. To read or write a varint, the CPU must process the value byte by byte, checking continuation bits and shifting payloads. When a field sits in a high-throughput backend service, CPU efficiency often matters far more than saving a few wire bytes. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Tor ☛ Arti_2.5.1_released_|_The_Tor_Project⠀⇛ Arti is our ongoing project to create a next-generation Tor implementation in Rust.

There are plenty of excellent and mature projects across areas such as guardrails, evals, red teaming, and agentic security, and these are complemented by comprehensive risk frameworks, ontologies, and mappings. These are important projects that need continued development. At Red Hat, our AI Safety team collaborates with, and contributes to, many of these upstream communities, and we'll continue to do so. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Beyond_the_hype:_What_financial_leaders_need_to_know about_enterprise_AI [Ed: IBM is swallowing the pyramid scheme and vomiting it out via the "Red Hat" brand]⠀⇛ According to McKinsey’s estimates highlighted in Red Hat’s executive guide, Beyond the Hype: AI in Financial Services, AI represents a $1.2 trillion value opportunity for the global banking industry alone—with generative AI responsible for up to $340 billion of that potential. Furthermore, industry projections suggest that nearly 30% of operating profits in banking will soon be directly linked to AI-driven capabilities. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ What's_new_in_Red_Hat_OpenShift_confidential computing_and_sandboxing [Ed: Well, "confidential computing" means outsourcing to back doors, surveillance, and a mere delusion of data protection]⠀⇛ This release advances confidential computing on 2 fronts: [...] * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ The_Oracle_estate_you_can_control⠀⇛ The work Red Hat and Everpure have done together exists to break that coupling.

Over the past 2 years we’ve built and published the validation to make that real for Oracle workloads specifically. This post covers what we tested, what the results were, and what they mean for how you sequence the next 3 years. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Testing_modern_hash_table_designs_in_OVN_and_OVS⠀⇛ During my Red Hat internship on the Open_Virtual_Network_(OVN) team, I was assigned a task I found especially interesting: Investigate whether OVN and Open_vSwitch_(OVS) hashmap performance could be improved by using a different hashmap design. This work turned into a deeper look at modern hash table algorithms, OVS's existing hashmap implementation, OVN's large-scale workloads, and performance profiling in C. My goal with this article is to make the work useful to anyone interested in hashmap design and performance, while also giving OVN and OVS developers enough context to understand what was tested and what the results mean for the codebase. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ AutoRAG:_Optimizing_RAG_for_small_models⠀⇛ Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a well-worn path by now.

I spoke extensively about this effort in my recent Linux App Summit, GUADEC 2025 and 2026 talks, but today I am excited to share the result for general testing. First, shifting to a Flatpak-first (and only) model. As a solo developer, maintaining code paths for countless distributions isn’t sustainable. Since Boxes acts as a frontend for libvirt/qemu, its functionality relies heavily on the backend configuration. Flatpak lets me bundle the entire virtualization stack, giving me the control I need to fine-tune it for our specific use cases. Second, migrating Boxes to GTK4 and Libadwaita. Beyond the obvious benefits (a modern UI, better responsiveness, and tighter desktop integration) this makes the codebase significantly easier to maintain. This transition required moving away from the GTK3-based SPICE display widget, which was too tightly coupled to older input and drawing methods. We’ve replaced it with Libmks, which has proven to be a solid alternative. Read_On! Also: * ⚓ GNOME_Boxes_Won't_Look_Ancient_Anymore_Thanks_to_a_Glow-Up⠀⇛ The lone developer behind GNOME Boxes, Felipe Borges, has shown off a complete rewrite of the app as a Flatpak-only beta, featuring a modern interface foundation. Balancing his day job at Red Hat and his usual GNOME Settings maintenance duties, Felipe says that he has been working on this by himself for the past two years, talking about his efforts at community events. The first design call was going Flatpak-only. Boxes is a front end for libvirt and QEMU, so a lot of its behavior depends on what the host distro ships. Maintaining separate code paths for every distro isn't realistic for a single maintainer, so the new build bundles the entire virtualization stack itself instead of leaning on the host. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2714 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/05/The_only_5_Linux_distros_I_recommend_for_laptops_after_10_years.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/05/The_only_5_Linux_distros_I_recommend_for_laptops_after_10_years.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The only 5 Linux distros I recommend for laptops—after 10 years of using Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 05, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇ubuntu_installed_on_a_laptop⦈_ Quoting: The only 5 Linux distros I recommend for laptops—after 10 years of using Linux — How-To Geek logo Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: There are hundreds of Linux distros out there, and most of them are genuinely good—as long as they're used by the people they're designed for. The whole point of a Linux distro is to package the Linux kernel with a particular desktop environment, package manager, and system defaults fine-tuned for a specific type of user or workflow. For instance, some distros are designed for Linux newcomers, while others are built for advanced users, gamers, or developers. Likewise, some distros simply offer a better experience on a laptop than others. And here are my five favorite Linux distros that are perfect for laptop use.

It offers real-time CPU, memory, disk, and network usage monitoring; information on real-time app and process resource usage; the ability to stop or force stop running applications; configurable update speeds; process state merging; and can remember sorting (filtering).

We'll spend 2_or_3_days trotting around Greater Manchester, which is a huge city and extensive borough. The "Greater" in the name implies it's more than just the "core part" - same as London with "core parts" like City of London and some suburbs people keep regarding as "London area" (because many London workers commute back and forth; living in London is far too expensive for their occupations). Politically, things have been settling down here lately. The Independent candidate, "FARMER_Marcus_Jonathan", seems to have secured 436 votes - an all- time high for him. I gave him my "second choice" vote; he seems like a decent bloke. The winner, Bev (Labour), secured 49,326 votes in the "[f]irst stage of voting" and thus became Mayor. After our long trot around the area Rianne will modestly celebrate her birthday. We don't plan to travel abroad this year. We'll focus on the sites. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Rianne,_Birthday_Again ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣆⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠾⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢤⣀⣀⣀⣀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣤⣴⣾⠟⠋⠈⠙⢤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣀⡀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⣄⠀⠀⠀⣠⣀⣰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣶⢤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⠻⠿⢿⣫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠘⢷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠘⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡄⠀⠰⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠘⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡶⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢹⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⡀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠈⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⡅⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣗⠀⠐⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⣿⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⡅⠀⢸⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢺⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠸⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⢻⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢸⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠿⠿⠻⣿⠀⠀⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣋⣙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠈⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3306 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/05/Ubuntu_is_still_the_distro_everyone_recommends_first_and_it_all.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/05/Ubuntu_is_still_the_distro_everyone_recommends_first_and_it_all.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu is still the distro everyone recommends first, and it all boils down to 4 reasons⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 05, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Ubuntu⦈_ Quoting: Ubuntu is still the distro everyone recommends first, and it all boils down to 4 reasons — However, these are not enough reasons to undo Ubuntu's real wins. What I've found genuinely interesting is the number of people I've encountered who've left Ubuntu for other distros like Fedora, Arch, or Debian as their daily driver but still point Linux newbies towards Ubuntu. Even though none of them stayed on Ubuntu, they still remember what it was like to start in the Linux ecosystem. I understand why it isn't where someone stays after many years on Linux, but it's the best place to start.

This migration has also been driven by the fact that gaming on Linux has come a long way. Gamers are also attracted to Linux due to the platform’s tight resource usage. Linus Tech Tips has conducted a simple side-by-side comparison of Linux Mint and Windows 11 to see how much of a difference there exists in RAM usage between the two operating systems. Unsurprisingly, Linux uses much less RAM. Starting with the idle RAM usage, LTT shows that Windows 11 consumes up to 9.3 GB while doing nothing. Linux, on the other hand, uses just 4.7 GB. Opening the lttstore website on FireFox pushed Windows 11 and Linux RAM usage to 10.7 GB and 5.9 GB, respectively. So, Windows 11 consumed an additional 1.4 GB RAM and Linux used 1.2 GB of RAM over idle usage.
