Only one of my colleagues, Patrick, did the same and had done the same (he was a few years my senior). Patrick introduced me to Ubuntu when it was brand new and also to Firefox before it was 1.0. He was very helpful. Prior to that I used SuSE and Mozilla/Konqueror, among other simpler browsers (not Netscape). We now look at a world where GNU/Linux is apparently_on_1_in_10_desktops/ laptops and I still fail to grasp this because the gains were made so fast. Less than a year ago we said GNU/Linux was on 1 in 20 desktops/laptops. Will it be one in 5 next year? Or 1 in 2 one day (half)? This is so extraordinary. Is the movement finally bearing huge fruit? █ =============================================================================== Image source: Looking_Back_6_Months_Later ⡿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢲⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠺⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣤⣴⣶⣶⣾⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣤⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠠⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⣷⠦⠄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠛⠋⠙⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣯⣭⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣏⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⡀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣅⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣤⣤⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣦⡛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠋⢹⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⢿⣿ ⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 197 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/6_essential_Linux_desktop_features_that_still_haven_t_made_it_t.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/6_essential_Linux_desktop_features_that_still_haven_t_made_it_t.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 6 essential Linux desktop features that still haven’t made it to Windows⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇penguin_as_a_warrior⦈_ Quoting: 6 essential Linux desktop features that still haven’t made it to Windows — Since its arrival on the scene, Linux has faced a persistent myth that refuses to die: it’s difficult to use for everyday people, especially compared to a more familiar operating system, like Windows. It’s endured so much that many people are unaware of Linux’s desktop benefits. In fact, Linux pioneered many desktop features that are assumed to have been invented by Windows or macOS. From virtual desktops to tiling windows, some have been adopted by rivals, but few imitations have improved on the original.

Anyone looking for a repairable, ethical phone free of preinstalled Google services now has a concrete answer to the question in this article's title: yes, Fairphone with Ubuntu Touch is feasible, and it's actually one of the most successful combinations in the entire Linux mobile ecosystem. A few limitations remain worth knowing before you buy, starting with VoLTE calls, which are becoming mandatory on some networks in your country or region.

The SLAPP industry_in_the_UK attempted to ruin that event, it even sent threatening messages during a funeral (death_in_the_family) because in practical terms they are bullies-as-a-service or "hired_guns"_as_the_British_regulator_calls_it. Rianne isn't easy to scare and she's practical like me, she does not take bullying kindly. This year, so far at least, our vacation is respected. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Looking_Back_6_Months_Later ⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⡿⠿⢿⣿ ⣿⣧⣀⣀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⢰⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠙⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⢃⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠹⡄⠀⠀⠀⠸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠱⡄⠀⠀⠀⢃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣇⠀⠀⠀⣻ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠱⡀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⡆⠀⠀⢿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣶⣶⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⢻⡀⠀⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⡄⠀⣸ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⡀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⢣⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣤⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠜⠳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⢣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⠀⠀⠒⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠈⢧⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣟⣩⡞⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠷⠀⠈⠃⠀⠀⠣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⢶⣶⣦⡬⠽⣿⣿⣶⣤⣈⣉⣁⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠉⢀⣠⣾⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠈⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢃⢰⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣶⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣄⡀⠈⠙⠛⠢⣬⣽⣿⣿⣿⣤⣄⣠⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠉⠫⢭⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⣼⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣄⣀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣤⣀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⣩⣭⣭⣽⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣁⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣈⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠯⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⢉⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠀⠚⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣝⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠿⠟⠛⠉⠀⣀⢰⣿⣿⣷⣮⣆⠀⠄⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢐⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⡀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⢀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⡻⢿⣦⣄⣠⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠠⣞⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢣⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣄⣀⣨⣿⣿⣿⣟⠛⠛⠛⠻⠂⠬⡅⢀⠄⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡖⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠑⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠐⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡌⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⢀⡀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⣧⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢷⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠈⠁⠀⡻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣽⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣐⡀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠉⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⢻⣟⣻⣿⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⡎⠃⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣅⡀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣍⣿⣶⣦⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠛⠋⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠳⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⠓⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⢶⡇⠹⠀⠀⠉⠠⠿⣷⣬⣥⡈⠙⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠞⠛⠋⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠵⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠁⠀⠀⠀⡟⠋⠀⠀⠈⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣤⣈⡙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣂⣤⣦⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣤⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⢸⣿⣿⣷⠀⢀⣰⣶⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠿⠿⠛⣋⣩⣭⣭⣉⡉⢛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⢿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣈⣋⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⣾⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡤⠶⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣇⠀⠠⣠⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠟⠋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣶⣖⠓⠛⠋⡀⠀⠸⠿⠷⠶⡄⣀⣀⡙⠛⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⣶⣦⣬⣍⣉⡉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿ ⣿⣯⣉⣿⣷⠤⢤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠒⠊⠉⠉⠁⠰⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⣂⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⣉⣡⣶⣶⠆⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿ ⣿⣿⣦⣽⣿⣷⣤⣤⣿⣴⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣠⣤⣤⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣸⣥⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 453 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/Canonical_Promotes_Slop_to_Participate_in_the_Pyramid_Scheme_Ub.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/Canonical_Promotes_Slop_to_Participate_in_the_Pyramid_Scheme_Ub.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Canonical Promotes Slop to Participate in the Pyramid Scheme, Ubuntu 26.10 Wallpaper Competition⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2026 * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Canonical_integrates_NVIDIA_Nemotron_3.5_Lightning_with_Ubuntu for_always-on_AI_agents [Ed: Slop promotion.]⠀⇛ NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is an open 30B hybrid Mixture-of- Experts (MoE) model with 3B active parameters, designed for high-throughput agentic workloads.

onto the interesting parts. My research center has gotten another article accepted for publication that focuses on our new research line of independently evaluating *BSD mitigations. It received some very strong reviews, which suggests to me this is work that others want to see continued. Sadly, the article will once again be locked behind the paywall that is IEEE Xplore. Once it does publish, I will update this blog post with a link to it. Technically, I can't post the paper because IEEE owns the copyright (welcome to academia...), though I'm sure if you ask nicely I can find a way to share it with you if you don't have institutional access. But just because IEEE owns the copyright to the paper doesn't mean I can't explain it on my blog, so I am going to do that. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 6_BSDs_worth_trying_instead_of_Linux⠀⇛ When you think of open-source OSes, you might think of Linux distros, but BSD-based systems have been around for a long time.

At the simpler end of the scale, a terminal window and the OpenSSH command-line tools may be all that is required. But if you regularly administer multiple machines, a graphical client which keeps hosts, credentials and file transfers organised can be considerably more convenient. Termora falls firmly into the latter category. It is a cross- platform terminal emulator and SSH client written using Kotlin/ JVM, with versions available for Linux, macOS and Windows. SSH is only part of what the software offers. Termora combines terminal sessions with host management, SFTP file transfers, SSH port forwarding, X11 forwarding, SSH Agent integration, serial connections and a collection of additional administration tools. * ⚓ sx_-_command-line_network_scanner⠀⇛ sx is a command-line network scanner designed to follow the UNIX philosophy.

While many AI reports are determined not to have security impact when considered in the context of a realistic threat model, we very much welcome these reports, especially when combined with human triage, analysis, test-cases and particularly when accompanied by proposed fixes. We have seen a number of cases where a security bug identified by AI tools is subsequently independently discovered by a different researcher. This suggests that adversaries who do not report bugs to OSS projects are likely to be able to discover these bugs too. Given this, the OpenSSH team will, for now, be making more frequent releases to get bugfixes into users' hands more quickly rather than batching them until the next planned release. * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ The_Software_Stewardship_Lab⠀⇛ The organisations set up to address open source sustainability have the same funding problem as the maintainers they are trying to help, often a worse version of it because a maintainer at least produces software that people want to use, and almost everyone I know doing this kind of research is patching together an income the same way I am. Grant programmes fund a project for a fixed term and then stop, which is also roughly how the academic contracts work for researchers studying maintainer burnout, while the tools built to measure the ecosystem need servers and bandwidth that someone has to keep paying for year after year regardless. * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ Extending_immutability:_deletion_without_losing_data⠀⇛ Tigris has a pretty advanced replication scheme for writes. What happens when you actually need to delete things? Turns out deleting things is hard in distributed systems. Especially when you have a geo-replicated active-active database like Tigris does. We can (and do) use tombstones to mark where data once was, but how do you let people undo an accidental delete? * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Christian Cleberg ☛ I_Built_My_Own_Org-Mode_Static_Site_Generator -_cleberg.net⠀⇛ I was tired of bolting solutions onto my SSGs, so I built my own. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Chuck Carroll ☛ Converting_FLACs_to_Opus⠀⇛ I have music collection of over 12,000 tracks. I prefer to actually own my music (ie digital files) and being able to play it on any device I choose rather than using a service like Spotify. That said, I also prefer using OGG over MP3, and the majority of my music collection is (currently) in OGG Vorbis format. Over the years, I've been accumulating lossless albums from places like Bandcamp and transcoding them. o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ URLs_aren't_strings,_and_my_recent encounter_with_this⠀⇛ Suppose that you have a URL in the form of a UTF-8 or Unicode text string and you want to show it to people in a web context, and some parts of the URL have characters (or Unicode codepoints) that fall outside of the straightforward 'US-ASCII' character range. If you're putting the URL (string) into HTML, you can often get away with not doing anything special (beyond using UTF- 8); your HTML is probably UTF-8 and browsers will do all of the hard work for you. But if you're putting your URL in other places, you may have to encode and quote it. One of those places you need to encode it is in HTTP Location response headers, which you may generate if you're redirecting a URL to some canonical version of it (for example, one without random 'utm' query parameters). ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1014 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/Games_Armada_Steam_Teufelskreis_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/Games_Armada_Steam_Teufelskreis_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Armada, Steam, Teufelskreis, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2026 * ⚓ Nate Graham ☛ Keep_your_community_afloat_with_the_right_defense tokens⠀⇛ Armada has many deep and tactically interesting features, but one of my favorites is the unique suite of defense tokens available to each spaceship to protect itself against attacks, from among the following six options: [...] * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Be_more_prepared_for_the_Steam_Frame_with_Digiphile's new_VR_Games_Showcase_Bundle_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Build up that collection of VR games ready to sweat your buttocks off when the Steam Frame releases with the Digiphile VR Games Showcase Bundle.

Another cool design idea is the editable Quick Settings, finally allowing us to take full control over those quick settings. You can do it on your Android phone or your iPhone, so why not be able to do it on your GNOME desktop too? This could become reality as an inline editor as part of the menu in GNOME Shell.

Because yes, the "best" Linux distribution doesn't exist in absolute terms. The right choice depends on your machine, your use case, and how much time you're willing to invest. Ask two people, one will say Linux Mint, the other CachyOS, and they'll both be right! * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ The_PC_OS_That_Would_Have_Blown_Your_Mind_Back_In_1984⠀⇛ os8088 is a single-floppy OS that provides preemptive multitasking and fully loadable software alongside that GUI, unlike other similar projects we’ve seen it’s not an all-in-one compiled application that just looks like an OS. There’s a second floppy with a suite of software that would have been seriously impressive back in the day, with games, graphics, and demos. It’s a shame that this thing appeared in 2026 when there is little need of it. * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ Shared_Code_Between_Package_Managers⠀⇛ Writing up the package manager CWEs list and then the --end-of- options survey, both of which come down to the same bug being fixed independently in tool after tool, left me wondering how much code these tools share with each other in the first place. So I went through the direct dependencies of twenty package managers1, each with at least two same-language peers in the set, looking for package-management libraries reused between them and setting aside the general-purpose stuff any CLI would use (serde, clap, requests). ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1273 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/IBM_Red_Hat_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/IBM_Red_Hat_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ IBM Red Hat Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2026 * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Stop_preventable_outages:_Intelligent_Windows certificate_rotation_with_Red_Hat_Ansible_Automation_Platform [Ed: A promotion of Windows, sort of]⠀⇛ The work itself is familiar: generate the replacement certificate, apply it to the server, confirm the service is healthy, and update the support ticket. The hard part is deciding when to act. That judgment depends on factors that change constantly: which applications depend on the server, how much traffic is flowing, whether a change freeze is in effect, and what else is happening in the environment. Manual processes can’t keep up, and automation without context creates its own risks. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_on_FHIR:_Why_an_informatics_nerd_joined_Red Hat⠀⇛ * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Policy_as_code:_What_happens_when_you_layer_policy enforcement_onto_the_automation_you_already_have⠀⇛ First, let’s examine your current production environment. Compliance, governance, and security aligned with specific standards represent an ongoing and essential need. In fact, some standards come with costly daily fines for each day an environment is out of compliance. Furthermore, standards constantly evolve, with new rules requiring more rigorous actions. For example, Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) certificates now have shorter lifespans, impacting standards that require valid certificates. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ 4_ways_a_Red_Hat_TAM_maximizes_IT_investments, according_to_Forrester_TEI_study⠀⇛ To bridge this gap, enterprises use Red Hat Technical Account Managers (TAMs) as an extension of their teams. A TAM is a single technical point of contact specializing in a specific product family, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat OpenShift, or Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. They work alongside your team to prevent downtime, patch system vulnerabilities, and connect you directly to Red Hat engineering experts. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1339 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/KDE_KEcoLab_Skrooge_and_Mankala.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/KDE_KEcoLab_Skrooge_and_Mankala.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ KDE: KEcoLab, Skrooge, and Mankala⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2026 * ⚓ KEcoLab_Sprint_26⠀⇛ I participated in the KEcoLab sprint held from May 27th to May 28th at the KDAB office in Berlin.

I also got to meet Carl Schwan and Volker Kraus. I arrived a day early by an overnight train around 7 am. I couldn’t check in to the hostel before 3pm so decided to explore the city instead. I explored the area around Alexandrplatz and got some nice photos, more of that will be covered in my next blog about Berlin. I met up with Karan and was able to check in a bit early.

This week we added voice chat for Mankala.⠀➾ For Mankala, our goal was to elevate the player experience by adding real-time voice chat. We have already added text chat using XMPP, and to make this experience better, voice chat is a much better option to add. Mankala relies on the XMPP protocol for matchmaking and text chat using the opponent and player XMPP IDs, respectively. I took KDE’s own chat application in reference: Kaidan, to implement Jingle (XEP-0167)—the XMPP extension for media sessions and connect it using an audio processing pipeline. After that, I designed the UI for this voice call to connect, accept, and decline calls with sync in UI and XMPP. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1409 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/Linux_Devices_and_Open_Hardware_Modding_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/Linux_Devices_and_Open_Hardware_Modding_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Linux Devices and Open Hardware/Modding Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2026 * § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ o ⚓ Futurism ☛ BMW_Suddenly_Blasts_Its_Cars'_Internal_Screens_With Aggressive_Advertisements⠀⇛ Starting last week, the German automaker started blasting a promotion for the new Spider-Man movie into its customers’ cars without warning — because nothing says riding in luxury like a full-vehicle pop-up ad. BMW, showing that it was about as in-touch as its drivers are familiar with turn signals, teased the promotion as a “special surprise.” o ⚓ RTL-SDR ☛ Open_Source_Firmware_for_the_DeepSDR_101⠀⇛ Thank you to Esteban Benito (EA8DGL) for writing in and sharing news of a bare-metal open source firmware for the GD32F450-based DeepSDR 101. The firmware is a collaborative effort developed by Esteban Benito (EA8DGL), Alexandr (UA6YKK), and Blas (EA7GIB). The DeepSDR 101 is a popular low-cost hand-held SDR, covering 100 kHz to 149 MHz, with a bandwidth of 192 kHZ, and a 4.3-inch screen. Various clones of the DeepSDR 101 also appear on marketplaces. o ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ 1.35-liter_mini_PC_runs_Core_Ultra_200_with_triple displays_and_96GB_DDR5⠀⇛ Shuttle’s XPC slim DH810S is a 1.35-liter barebone PC supporting Intel Core Ultra 200 “Arrow Lake-S” processors with up to 24 cores and a 13 TOPS NPU.

In practice, this translates into support for new security features on numerous STM32 MCUs, a unique Linux CLI package, and quality-of-life improvements to speed up workflows. We are also making our STM32 Sidekick more prominent so developers can find answers to some of the most common issues and get access to documentation and other technical information faster. In a nutshell, a lot of work went on behind the scenes so the STM32 Community could bring their products and applications to market faster and with fewer friction points. * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Run_Hermes_on_Raspberry_Pi,_Control_It_from_Your Laptop⠀⇛ The idea is to use Raspberry Pi as an always-on Hermes backend while using it from the computer(s). o ⚓ Linux.org ☛ Arduino_UNO_Q:_A_Debian_GNU/Linux_Board_for_Headless Projects⠀⇛ The Arduino UNO Q is a new board that runs Debian.

It features a 10GbE interface, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and 802.15.4 tri-radio connectivity, and two M.2 Key-M slots for Hey Hi (AI) accelerator cards or SSDs. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Is_Manual_Filament_Tuning_Still_Worth_It?⠀⇛ Although the difference isn’t night and day, the tuned profile was faster due to less conservative settings and had better accuracy on the final print due to taking the target FDM printer’s performance into account. Even if not something that the average hobbyist would be interested in, if you’re doing something like production runs with FDM, this might be something you’d want to look at. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Running_DOOM_On_A_Cheap_104-in-One_Handheld⠀⇛ Of those, the biggest were a clock speed of 62 MHz – instead of the typical 194 MHz – as well as a lack of sound. This latter issue might be fixable with a better understanding of what appears to be a quirky DMA-fed DAC. Beyond this you’re also dealing with limited memory and of course just 4 MB of flash, though the chip for this might be upgradable if the MCU can map more. You do get a 320×240 display and a lot of buttons, which is admittedly nice. o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ I_finally_have_an_Apple_IIɢꜱ!_Kinda⠀⇛ For the last few years I’ve been trying to source an IIɢꜱ, Apple’s last major hurrah for the Apple II platform, and the only 16-bit model in the lineup.

A user can input text into the browser, which then gets converted into a series of audible audio pulses that can be sent to the keyboard. The keyboard itself listens to those pulses, decodes them, and then sends the text through to the computer as a standard USB device thanks to an Arduino Micro at the center. Arduino Micros are excellent choices for keyboard controllers because they have a built-in USB chip. o ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ DIY_modder_creates_'heat_engine_computing device'_powered_by_a_Stirling_engine,_can_run_Tetris,_Snake,_and Pong_—_80_MHz_processor_operates_on_just_150_milliwatts_of_power⠀⇛ The custom machine uses an ESP32-C3, OLED display, and 16-key keypad while squeezing retro gaming into a tiny 150mW power budget. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1587 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/Microsoft_apparently_just_upped_its_Windows_licence_fee_for_OEM.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/Microsoft_apparently_just_upped_its_Windows_licence_fee_for_OEM.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Microsoft apparently just upped its Windows licence fee for OEM handheld and PC makers, and I'm taking it as an excuse to switch to Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇handheld⦈_ Windows 11, an operating system I'm not convinced we even want powering out handhelds and PCs, has apparently hiked OEM licence prices. That means it has potentially cost more for companies to pre-install it on your gaming device of choice, and I can't help but think that's ridiculously bold of Microsoft considering Linux is gaining prominence. The report, courtesy of Chinese publication UDN, claims Windows OEM licences have increased by "7% to 10%" since July (via Videocardz). That's according to a "PC brand executive" who says while Microsoft typically increases its fees for the operating system every year by single digits, it has now allegedly slapped OEMs with a much higher bill compared to previous years.

This allows you to disable everything related to artificial intelligence with a single click. * ⚓ Hacker News ☛ Mozilla_Revokes_Firefox_and_Thunderbird_Linux_Signing_Key After_Key_Lands_in_Private_Repo⠀⇛ Mozilla has scrapped the cryptographic key behind Firefox and Thunderbird downloads for Linux after an unencrypted copy of it was committed by mistake to one of the company's own private code repositories. That key is how a user, or a Linux distribution packaging the browser, confirms a downloaded Firefox tarball came from Mozilla and was not tampered with. [...] The disclosure lands a week after attackers hijacked the GitHub account behind the keyv and cacheable npm packages and published a worm built to harvest repository, registry, cloud and private-key material from developer machines and CI pipelines. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1756 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2026 * ⚓ Victor Zverovich ☛ The_fastest_double-to-string_algorithm_you’ve_never heard_of⠀⇛ Żmij, the binary-to-decimal conversion library I wrote about a few posts back, started as an optimized port of Schubfach. Later I switched its core to a different algorithm, defined in yy_double.c from yyjson by ibireme. It has no paper, no name beyond the file it lives in (I'll refer to it as yy), and almost no public profile outside the JSON performance crowd. It also happens to be one of the fastest dtoa implementations. This post is a tour of yy through a small visualization, with a close look at one boundary case. * ⚓ Raphael Amorim ☛ Closing_Canario_Terminal_source_code⠀⇛ People underestimate what open source costs from the maintainer side. It’s not just writing code. It’s issues, pull requests, discussions, people demanding things from you for free. I got spammed like crazy. And now with AI, spamming a maintainer is so easy: low effort issues, generated pull requests, and every single one of them takes a bit of your time and energy. Three things I want to make clear: [...] * ⚓ Jacob Tomlinson ☛ Open_Source_libraries_are_evolving_into_reference implementations⠀⇛ I’ve spent the majority of my professional career working on software libraries, chunks of reusable code that other people stack together to make their code. Libraries are valuable because they contain common code that gets reused a lot, code that has been heavily tuned for performance, or code that captures a niche domain that would be cumbersome to rewrite. Libraries exist to save people time. Open source libraries also add benefit by having many people contributing on a common codebase fixing bugs, improving performance and increasing correctness. * ⚓ James Bennett ☛ Breaking_up_(lines)_is_hard_to_do⠀⇛ Here’s a seemingly simple question: given a chunk of multi-line text, how do you split it and return an array whose members are the constituent lines of the text? Hopefully, your first instinct is to reach for some sort of standard-library function, maybe something like the splitlines () method of Python’s str type. Because it turns out this “simple” question is actually pretty complex to answer! For example, quite some time ago I read a post by William Woodruff pointing out the surprising discovery that Python treats up to eleven different Unicode code points or code point sequences as indicating a line break. At the time I meant to write about that, but a lot of other things started fighting for my time, and it’s only now that I’m finally digging it out of my drafts. Still, better late than never, so today let’s dig into some of the many ways there are to break a line of text and how they’ve been standardized and specified and ultimately wound up in the set Python uses. * ⚓ Dmitrii Kovanikov ☛ 8_months_of_OCaml_after_8_years_of_Haskell_in production⠀⇛ I’ve been using Haskell in production for 8 years. I’ve been using OCaml in production for 8 months. It’s time to compare those two languages. * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Dual_scaled_y-axis_with_ggplot()⠀⇛ I have often found myself needing to plot a single graph with two y-axes having different scales. For example, this might be useful for representing temperature and rainfall data at a given location. Unfortunately, doing this with ggplot() is not straightforward. While searching for possible solutions, I discovered that graphs with dual y-axes are generally not regarded as good tools for data visualisation. Hadley Wickham, the author of ggplot2 and several other important R packages, has given some good reasons for this (e.g., at this link). I do not intend to question these general arguments. Nonetheless, the idea that I cannot do with ggplot() something that I could easily do with Excel gets on my nerves. After all, such graphs can be quite useful in some specific circumstances, such as when displaying weather data. I therefore started looking for a reasonable solution and eventually found my way. I would like to share it in this post. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ I_is_for_immutable_-_Python_A_to_Z⠀⇛ Then at some point — maybe at an advanced class at the university, at a meetup or in the always peaceful and polite discussion forums on the web — you’re introduced to the idea of immutability (not capable of or susceptible to change). Someone comes hype the idea of functional programming that you’ve never heard of. They start talking about how changing variable state is so error-prone and pure functions is where the game should be played at. o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ J_is_for_JSON_validation_-_Python_A_to_Z⠀⇛ When you need to load external data into your software, you want to make sure it behaves properly, ie. it’s in correct form. One tool to validate input data is Pydantic. This is a quick tutorial to show how it works. o ⚓ Eric Matthes ☛ Parsing_large(ish)_data_files⠀⇛ There are many tools for exploring game collections, but I've just started to become familiar with these tools. I'm guessing people have made tools for exploring large collections efficiently, but I haven't found them yet. I'll do a more thorough search for existing tools when I have a bit more time, but for now it's kind of fun to come up with my own ways to handle these larger files. In this post, I'll share the challenge I've come across with a naive approach to parsing large game files, and share a more efficient approach I've been curious to explore. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1936 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/Proton_GE_Updated.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/Proton_GE_Updated.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Proton GE Updated⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2026 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ GE-Proton_11-4_brings_lots_of_controller_improvements_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Update 11:56 UTC - GE-Proton 11-5 was released after as a hotfix for Easy Anti-Cheat. * ⚓ Latest_Proton_GE_update_improves_controller_support_and_more_for_Linux gamers_and_Steam_Deck_owners⠀⇛ GE-Proton11-4 has been released, bringing a large set of changes for Linux gaming, with controller support being the main focus of the new version. The release is described as the “Controller fixup” update, but it also includes improvements to Wine, graphics, audio, video playback, ARM64 support, and compatibility with several games. It’s also worth knowing that GE-Proton11-5 was also released a few hours after 11-4, but it only includes a hotfix for broken anti-cheat loading. * ⚓ Tech Times ☛ DualSense_Haptics_Land_on_Linux_After_Six_Years:_GE-Proton 11-4_Ships_Today⠀⇛ GloriousEggroll's community-maintained Proton layer released its most significant controller update today, delivering finalized haptic feedback, speaker audio, and hotplug support for the DualSense, DualShock 4, and DualSense Edge on Linux — closing a gap that has existed since Sony launched the DualSense in 2020.

For organizations that detected a Gunra attack on Linux systems, the CISA advisory AA26-222A disclosed a second finding with immediate financial stakes: a flaw in the way the Linux variant generates its encryption keys means that victims who preserved their encrypted files may be able to reconstruct the decryption keys from timestamps alone — without paying a ransom that the FBI observed starting at tens of millions of dollars. * ⚓ Tech Times ☛ Gunra_Ransomware_Hit_Hospitals_and_Governments;_Linux Victims_Should_Not_Pay_Ransom⠀⇛ Six US and South Korean government agencies jointly warned Monday that Gunra, a ransomware-as-a-service operation built on leaked code from the notorious Conti gang, has struck at least 51 organizations across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific — breaching hospitals, government agencies, and financial institutions by exploiting unpatched Fortinet firewall products and demanding ransoms that in most documented cases exceeded $10 million. The advisory, designated CISA advisory AA26-222A under CISA's ongoing #StopRansomware initiative, carries an unusual second piece of intelligence that network defenders should act on immediately: researchers at Breakglass Intelligence confirmed in March 2026 that Gunra's Linux-specific ransomware builds contain a fatal cryptographic error that allows victims whose Linux systems were encrypted to recover their files without paying the ransom — a finding detailed in Breakglass Intelligence's March 2026 analysis. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2193 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/Shelly_3_0_4_GUI_Package_Manager_for_Arch_Linux_Adds_New_Search.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/Shelly_3_0_4_GUI_Package_Manager_for_Arch_Linux_Adds_New_Search.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Shelly 3.0.4 GUI Package Manager for Arch Linux Adds New Search Experience⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Aug 12, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Shelly⦈_ Shelly 3.0.4 is here to introduce a new search experience, add an initial TUI (text-mode UI) to accompany the GUI and CLI interfaces, improve the AppImage integration, improve Flatpak support with end-of-life detection and rebase support, as well as a new remove dialog, and add an AUR link to the AUR detail view.

Every example, tutorial, and configuration file you come across is written in it. The problem isn't that YAML is a bad format. It's that YAML gives you a lot of choices, and not all of them are equally good for writing Kubernetes manifests. Some features make files harder to read, some are easy to misuse and others can lead to surprising behavior. * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ OpenSSF (Linux Foundation) ☛ What’s_in_the_SOSS?_Podcast_#68_– S3E20_CRA_Readiness:_Practical_Strategies_for_Open_Source Communities_with_Megan_Knight⠀⇛ Join Megan Knight on the What's in the SOSS podcast as she breaks down the upcoming EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and shares practical compliance strategies for open source maintainers and organizations. o ⚓ Wonders of Web Weaving ☛ #14:_Robb_(rknight.me)_-_Wonders_of_Web Weaving⠀⇛ In Episode 14, I chat with Robb, the author of rknight.me about, among other things, metaphors for websites, the importance of sharing things you like on the web, running an indie service (Echo Feed), and more. o ⚓ Rob Knight ☛ I_Was_a_Guest_on_Web_Weaving⠀⇛ A full transcript is available on the website. * § Kernel Space / File Systems / Virtualization⠀➾ o ⚓ Himanshu Anand ☛ I_found_a_KVM_guest-to-host_heap_corruption_bug and_someone_else_got_there_first_::_Himanshu_Anand_::_Security_& Other_Notes⠀⇛ This post is the story of that bug, why my fix was wrong, why theirs was better, how bad this thing actually is, and what you can learn from all of it. I also built a safe CTF challenge so you can practice the same primitive without setting anything on fire. * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ The_AirDrop_Alternative_LocalSend_1.18.0 Released_with_CLI_Support⠀⇛ LocalSend, the popular AirDrop alternative application for Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, released new 1.18.0 version. The new version of this popular free open-source application added initial command line interface (CLI) support, allowing to send or receive files in terminal or server without graphical desktop environment. The new CLI starts in interactive mode. o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 5_apps_new_Linux_users_should_install_on_day_one⠀⇛ Most Linux distros are intentionally minimal to avoid bloat, offering a fresh and clean environment. While this is a major perk, knowing what to install first can be tricky for newcomers. So, to help kickstart your journey, here are five essential apps that belong on every new Linux PC. I’ve always said that installing Linux is only half the job—you still need to install all your favorite apps and tweak your settings to favorable configurations. That said, these five apps should cover all the basic things you need—and then some—to ensure you have the optimal experience using Linux. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ GNOME_51_could_bring_a_floating_search_overlay to_the_Shell⠀⇛ The next version of GNOME Shell, out in September, is likely to include a redesigned search experience. In current versions of the desktop, when you start a search from the GNOME Shell overview, a dedicated search results screen replaces the one you’re looking at, i.e., the workspace row and dash (aka dock) are obscured. GNOME’s design team has long wanted to adopt a ‘semantic’ layout, whereby search results appear in an overlay that ‘spawns out of the search entry’ box and sits over the screen that triggered it. This concept has been explored and detailed in mockups over the years. * § GNU/Linux Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Chiark ☛ Colin_Watson:_Free_software_activity_in July 2026⠀⇛ About 95% of my Debian contributions this month were sponsored by Freexian. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2696 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/Update_on_openSUSE_Asia_Summit_2026_Gettinf_Agama_dressed_for_s.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/12/Update_on_openSUSE_Asia_Summit_2026_Gettinf_Agama_dressed_for_s.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Update on openSUSE.Asia Summit 2026 Gettinf Agama dressed for success⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2026 * ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ Venue_Update_for_openSUSE.Asia_Summit_2026⠀⇛ The openSUSE.Asia Summit 2026 Organizing Committee would like to announce an important update regarding the conference venue.

Thankfully we aren't impacted by this. After 22+ years we're not in any way reliant on mindless drones and lemmings in Social Control Media. Nor do we rely on "SEO" or positioning ourselves as "highly-ranked" in some Google or Yandex or whatever. The Web used to be accessed and navigated through Web directories, bookmarks, and all sorts of other means. Over time many people became lazy; they would just "google everything" and rely on Google still being: 1) a useful search engine and 2) a search engine (which is no_longer what it is). If you have a site online, don't be seduced into building any "following" in Social Control Media.
