I took every chance I got to evangelize Linux and open-source apps to the student body. Part of it had to do with helping cash-strapped college students eat less instant ramen, but the other part was philosophical. Windows and macOS are ultimately products of a corporate machine that can fool you into thinking things have to be a certain way, but with Linux there are several aspects of the experience that can teach you another path.

Was it the seemingly arbitrary_hardware requirements that made a whole bunch of older computers into e-waste? Is it because the OS refuses to let you set up a computer without an account and Microsoft quietly seals up bypasses? Is it the too- frequent, annoying, and sometimes broken updates that may also bork your hardware? Is it the incessant ads, creepy_features_like_Recall, or AI being shoved everywhere it can possibly be shoved? Take your pick, we have more. Things aren't necessarily great on the macOS side of things either, with macOS 26 Tahoe also generally disliked. People are fed up, and many are making the switch to Linux as a result. For a lot of people, though, that may seem daunting when you'd have to leave behind the familiar waters of Windows and macOS that you've sailed for decades. Fortunately, a lot of Linux distributions have branded themselves as a gentle hug rather than a crash landing from the world's other two dominant OSes. We're talking about Linux distros that are so easy to install that a child could do it, require virtually no tinkering to work, and ship with a UI that's familiar enough that you'll feel like you never left Microsoft or Apple. There are, of course, downsides — too many to get into here — but if you've been considering Linux, then you're probably aware of them. So take this as some inspiration for which OS to switch to.

Not because of the technical aspects (although that, too, is pretty tricky), but because of the legality of distributing proprietary software and patent-encumbered codecs. While companies like Microsoft can grab a license and bake the tech into their products, it's a lot less feasible for Linux distributions designed to be freely downloaded and redistributed.

That is the short and sweet version of the story around how their love affair with gaslighting and uncertainly has now become our love affair with those things." All cults have their illustrious leaders and sacred texts little red books, little green books, manifestos. In the West we think we're liberal and flexible, but we have a sacred ideology too, its the MBA. We ideologically appoint people, with fealty to the same principles as Soviets or Maoists. This cult of western business ideology has been running for 40 or 50 years. Way longer than Communism survived in Russia.

It didn't happen, because Linux was not ready for it to happen. If you wanted to feel edgy and cool (or you were a software developer), then there was a reason to have Linux as your daily driver. In my case, it was mainly because I could not afford a bunch of Windows licenses, and my college netbook could literally only run Linux, since it had too little RAM for Windows. For everyone else, Linux must have come across as beta software. The kernel may have been maturing quickly, but from a usability perspective, it always felt like the bare minimum cover for the scaffolding underneath.

A monitor, keyboard and mouse are not required for the initial minisCloud OS setup, as the system can be configured remotely over the network. I’ve already explored MinisCloud OS in a separate review. For this review, I wanted to interrogate the hardware in considerably more detail, so I installed Ubuntu 26.04 LTS on a separate NVMe and use that as my main operating system. It’s also worth noting that minisCloud OS is in a beta stage of development. Installing another operating system requires a monitor, keyboard and mouse for the installation and initial configuration. Before doing so, let’s look at the design and ports. * ⚓ keyb_-_terminal-based_custom_hotkey_cheatsheet⠀⇛ keyb is a terminal-based custom hotkey cheatsheet.

But Dropbox was always going to be a temporary solution. There’s no way I was ever going to pay for their Plus plan. $10 per month, billed yearly, for 2TB of storage doesn’t make sense for me. It offers way more storage than I need and the price is just too steep. And that’s not to mention that using Dropbox means my data is stored on someone else’s hardware, which I’m not too fond of. * ⚓ Bozhidar Batsov ☛ Projectile_3.4⠀⇛ Projectile 3.4 is out! After the four releases that preceded it this summer, this one is polish rather than ambition. Most of it came out of an annoyance I’d been living with for years without ever quite naming it: a lot of what I work on isn’t one directory. CIDER is really CIDER plus cider-nrepl plus orchard plus clj-refactor plus a handful of others. RuboCop is RuboCop plus rubocop-ast plus rubocop-rails and the other extension gems plus the style guide. I’ve been maintaining families of repositories for the better part of a decade. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Revisiting_Flymake_and_Flycheck_in_GNU_Emacs_ (as_of_Flycheck_v39)⠀⇛ Not that long ago I wrote an entry on my views on Flymake and Flycheck in GNU Emacs, when Flycheck v36 was the latest release and my impression was that there hadn't been deep changes in Flycheck for a while. To summarize my views, the two were basically equal but Flymake was a bit better if you only used Eglot while Flycheck gave you more flexibility, especially if you weren't using a LSP client. All of that changed in Flycheck 38 (and Flycheck 39), which added a bunch of exciting and important features (cf). Now, my view is that you should pick Flycheck if you're at all on the fence. * ⚓ Chris Maiorana ☛ Using_ffap_to_jump_to_file_includes_in_Emacs⠀⇛ Lord knows I have trouble finding files sometimes. Over the years I’ve tried lots of schemes in Org Mode and elsewhere for the sole purpose of keeping track of stray items. Using includes in Org Mode has been helpful, but I didn’t have a way of jumping to those included files for quick access. Until now! Read on. * ⚓ Chris Maiorana ☛ The_Emacs_pastoral_tradition⠀⇛ You’ve probably noticed, Emacs users tend to be a different breed than other computer users. While you can be reasonably sure that anyone who uses vim or VSCode is probably a developer, or someone who works in software engineering, devops, or systems administration, Emacs users can be from virtually anywhere else on the map. While conventional software has the basics—like users, functions, documentation, and best practices—Emacs has a tradition. In this article, we’ll look at: [...] * ⚓ LWN ☛ rsync_3.5.0_released⠀⇛ Version_3.5.0 of rsync has been released with a huge_number_of security_fixes: [...] * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ PostgreSQL_18.6,_17.11,_16.15,_15.19,_14.24_and_19 Beta_3_Released!⠀⇛ The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported versions of PostgreSQL, including 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24, as well as the third beta release of PostgreSQL 19. This release fixes 28 security vulnerabilities and over 110 bugs reported over the last several This release skips PostgreSQL 18 versions from PostgreSQL 18.4 to 18.6. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ How_to_improve_students’_problem-solving_skills using_subgoal_labels⠀⇛ When faced with a programming problem, computing educators often start solving it without a second thought. Before writing a single line of code, experienced programmers use a range of skills to choose their approach and make other key decisions. Thanks to repeated practice, many of these decisions feel automatic and require little conscious thought. However, for beginner programmers, starting a programming problem can feel overwhelming, requiring intense thought and concentration. o ⚓ APNIC ☛ APNIC_62_keynotes_explore_automation,_trust,_and_the future_of_the_Internet⠀⇛ APNIC 62 will feature two keynote speakers who approach the future of the Internet from different but complementary perspectives. One will explore how networks are becoming more automated and intelligent. The other will examine the human relationships that make global cybersecurity cooperation possible. Together, their presentations highlight the technical and social foundations of a resilient Internet. o ⚓ Rlang ☛ From_Raw_Data_to_Regulatory_Results:_Clinical_Trial Programming_in_R_using_the_pharmaverse_workshop⠀⇛ Description: Have you ever wondered how raw patient data from a clinical trial transforms into the actual evidence used to approve new medicines? This two-hour, hands-on workshop aims to answer this question by giving you a glimpse into the clinical trial data pipeline. We’ll start with a crash course on industry data standards, tracing the journey from raw data to SDTM (Study Data Tabulation Model), into analysis-ready ADaM datasets, and finally into Tables, Listings, and Graphs (TLGs). From there, you will step into the shoes of a clinical statistical programmer: firstly, you will be guided through creating your own simple ADaM dataset(s) using the {admiral} package and test data. Then, you will bring your analyses to life using {ggplot2} and a tabulation package of your choice to build the kinds of polished visualizations and summary tables that drive real-world medical breakthroughs. No prior clinical trial experience is required, just bring your foundational R skills and your curiosity! * § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ o ⚓ The Drone Girl ☛ The_Part_107_test_is_changing_—_and_here's what's_on_it_now⠀⇛ The following piece on the latest changes to the Part 107 test was written by Ritsuko Abrams, an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot who writes about drone regulation for Office20, a U.S.-Japan consultancy aimed at helping pilots get U.S. certification from Japan. * § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ o § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ Sean Coates ☛ YULBBS⠀⇛ With this data captured, I didn’t want to just plot it on a map—that part has been done, and frankly done better than I could spend the effort on doing myself.

It's not much — it's nothing at all, in fact — but just the proof-of-concept alone is enough to stir up excitement for both Steam Deck and PS5 emulation scenes. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ New_Steam_Games_with_Native_GNU/Linux_Builds,_including Sovereign_Tower_-_2026-08-12_Edition⠀⇛ Between 2026-08-05 and 2026-08-12 there were 81 New Steam games released with Native GNU/Linux builds. For reference, during the same time, there were 616 games released for backdoored Windows on Steam, so the GNU/Linux versions represent about 13.1 % of total released titles. This week’s pick is certainly Sovereign Tower since it’s another inventive choose your destiny adventure game where you are in charge of your kingdom. This time, you can backtrack on choices made before to achieve better results. Highly praised by gamers so far. Full list of games worthy of your consideration below! * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Out_in_Early_Access_-_Sandustry_has_you_explore,_mine and_automate_in_fully_destructible_pixel_worlds_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Hooded Horse picked another good one to publish here from developer Lantto Games.

Your fingers will end up quite afraid of you loading this one up. Disclosure: the developer sent a key to GamingOnLinux. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Grand-scale_FPS_'WARDOGS'_should_work_on_Linux_/ SteamOS,_devs_confirm_working_on_Proton_support_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ The developers behind the upcoming grand-scale FPS WARDOGS have confirmed they're working to support Proton so it's playable on Linux / SteamOS. I did repeatedly try to get word from them over email, but our direct questions on it have been met with silence. * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ 2026-08-11_[Older]_Before_Valve_bet_on_Linux_gaming,_one company_risked_everything_on_it⠀⇛ Valve's Linux push can look almost inevitable in hindsight. Proton lets SteamOS run Windows games, the Steam Deck turned SteamOS into something people actually buy on purpose, and Valve followed it with a new Steam Machine for 2026. Linux gaming still has plenty of rough edges, but we've come a long way from the days when installing Linux meant accepting that most commercial PC games simply weren't coming with you. More than a decade before Valve brought Steam to Linux, a small company in Tustin, California, tried to change that in the expensive way. Loki Software licensed Windows games from major publishers, ported them individually, boxed them up for Linux users, and hoped there were enough customers to keep the whole thing afloat. The company lasted barely three years before going bankrupt with less than $50,000 in assets and somewhere between $1 million and $10 million in debt. Plenty of tech companies disappeared around the turn of the millennium, so bankruptcy alone isn't what makes Loki's story interesting to me. What caught my attention was the problem it burned through all that money trying to solve. Linux had users who wanted commercial PC games, but each major Windows release needed someone to justify building a separate Linux version. Valve would spend years wrestling with the same basic problem. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Cellular_roguelike_shooter_'Pathogenic'_is_a_body- infecting_good_time_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Pathogenic is a top-down roguelike shooter where you control a customizable lone pathogen infecting a human host. Released July 16th from developer Aberrant Labs and publisher Slug Disco, they sent GamingOnLinux a key to check it out. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Open-source_re-implementation_of_The_Elder_Scrolls: Arena_adds_major_new_features_like_enemy_combat_AI_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ OpenTESArena 0.18.0 the open-source re-implementation of The Elder Scrolls: Arena is out now, bringing many gameplay enhancements. It's getting closer to being more of a playable game now for modern platforms. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Warhammer_40,000:_Dawn_of_War_IV_delayed_until_December |_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ One game we have to wait a bit longer on is Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV, which has moved from September to December 3rd. Not a very long delay, but hopefully enough time for the developers at KING Art to make it truly worthwhile. I would prefer a delay over a rough release - too many big games release in a poor state on PC over the last few years. * ⚓ FOSSLinux ☛ How_to_Set_Up_CachyOS_for_Gaming:_A_Beginner_Guide_(2026)⠀⇛ I spent three weeks gaming on CachyOS and the performance gap over stock Ubuntu is real.

Once again, I found myself installing a Linux distro with the intent of freeing myself from macOS, the first step out of Apple’s walled garden; I thought I was standing at the door of a digital utopia, something like the modern-day dream of dropping everything to go live off the land.

Consequently, my first experience with Ubuntu Desktop wasn’t all that enjoyable, as many of its beginner-friendly tools appeared to be useless clutter. Credit where it’s due, Ubuntu is pretty accessible for first-time Linux users, especially for folks who want minimal terminal reliance for everyday tasks. However, I have to agree with the general sentiment that modern Ubuntu Desktop is a bloatware-riddled mess. Even if I were to use some of the apps that it ships, a large number of its built-in tools, services, and packages are useless for my needs. Ubuntu’s baseline system requirements have also gone up a lot over the years, to the point that Canonical recommends 6GB of RAM as the bare minimum on its 26.04 LTS version. That’s an insane amount of memory for a Linux distro, even more so when you factor the RAM shortage that’s still plaguing the PC market into the equation.

Frameworks 6.29 is here to add an icon for Android app bundle files in the Breeze icon theme, improve the fancy Kirigami tab bars in QML-based apps to switch the active tab when scrolling over them or using a tab-switching keyboard shortcut, and improve the visual fidelity of small icons in Kirigami-based apps. KDE Frameworks 6.29 also improves list and grid view highlights in QML-based apps to respect the visual styling of the active app style when using the default qqc2-desktop-style system rather than having a hardcoded Breeze-style appearance.

Its features are very similar to the PICO-ADN4 Pico-ITX SBC introduced in 2023, with up to 16 GB LPDDR5, HDMI, LVDS, and eDP display interfaces, dual Gigabit Ethernet, an M.2  E-Key socket for wireless, multiple USB interfaces, RS232/RS485 interfaces, and more. The main difference is that most standard (and thick) ports have been replaced by low- profile connectors, except somehow the HDMI connector. o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Chinese_Loongson_processors_have_leaky_caches, researchers_find⠀⇛ “Our analysis reveals that under certain circumstances, the ‘uncertain’ data originates from the L1 data cache,” the four researchers wrote. “Since this cache is not isolated between applications, LoongLeak can leak data from other applications and the operating system. Even worse, an attacker can prime the CPU’s internal state to target the leakage to a specific cache set.” o ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ I_stripped_the_smarts_out_of_my_old_TV,_and_it finally_got_good_again⠀⇛ I’ve had an old LG 47-inch smart TV that’s been sitting around collecting dust for years. It has a perfectly usable 1080p panel, but the smarts behind it have been obsolete for years. The last firmware update it received was in 2016, and its only accomplishment was to remove the Skype app. All modern streaming support has long disappeared, but I can’t justify throwing away an otherwise functional television. So, I connected an old NUC6CAY Intel NUC, complete with a 1TB hard drive, and tried to build the smart TV LG stopped supporting long ago. I didn’t want another Kodi box because my local media library isn’t big enough to justify it. What I wanted was something closer to Android TV, but with a good amount of storage, a full-featured browser, and enough freedom to build my own apps. The three obvious solutions failed spectacularly, but ordinary old Linux finally worked. o ⚓ Hackster ☛ Flipper_Devices'_Pavel_Zhovner_Details_Flipper_OS,_the Modular_Platform_Driving_the_Flipper_One⠀⇛ Flipper Devices has unveiled its Flipper OS, the custom Linux-based operating system set to power its upcoming Flipper One pocket hardware multitool — promising a modular design that won't end up with a "trash system" scenario when switching between projects. "Why build Flipper OS, yet another operating system, when there are already so many? Why not simply take a standard Debian-based system, as Raspberry Pi does, and customize it," Flipper Devices chief executive officer Pavel Zhovner asks of the thinking behind his company's software endeavor. "The problem is that conventional Linux distributions are designed for traditional computers/servers. They are not convenient for a multitool like Flipper One, which can be a network router, a radio lab, a desktop computer, or a TV media box all on the same device." * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ SQ Magazine ☛ Google_Adds_Tap_to_Share_to_Android_Quick_Share⠀⇛ Google began rolling out a tap-to-share mode for Quick Share on August 12, 2026, letting two Android phones swap contacts, photos and videos when held together.

Alongside performance enhancements for cloud streamers, the native GeForce NOW app for Linux has officially graduated from beta status. NVIDIA also added a handful of more games to the fold, as well as a demo for Monster Hunter Wilds Prologue. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ NVIDIA_GeForce_NOW_cloud_gaming_for_Linux_levels_up_and leaves_Beta_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Cloud gaming on Linux levels up officially today with the full release of the NVIDIA GeForce NOW app for Linux after being in Beta since January. * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ GeForce_NOW’s_GNU/Linux_app_exits_beta,_gets_official Flatpak_repo⠀⇛ GeForce NOW’s native GNU/Linux app has exited beta after seven months of testing, with official support for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and later. The app is a frontend for Nvidia’s game streaming service, with more than 4,500 PC titles running in the clown on Nvidia servers.

I don’t think I stopped being able to read or understand code, but now that we are automatically generating more and more explanatory artifacts instead of writing them, navigating codebases as a human is becoming an exercise in futility. * ⚓ Mark-Jason Dominus ☛ The_road_to_epsilon-zero:_Productive_programs_and well-founded_orders⠀⇛ Previously we saw how to interpret the difficult-seeming ordinal !!ω^ω!! as a particular ordering of the set of finite sequences of numbers, revealing what seemed like a scary monster as gentle and straightforward. Now we're going to take a sidetrack into one of my favorite topics, computation with infinite lists. I wrote about this for The Perl Journal in 1997 and then it turned into chapter 6 of Higher-Order Perl and here we are again. Gosh! it just keeps coming back. Like John the Baptist. * ⚓ Nat Bennett ☛ Let's_not_call_it_"tech_debt,"_it's_just_"mess"⠀⇛ A few months ago I wrote about one of my methods for dealing with "technical debt" and I had to cut a huge throat-clearing section from the opening about how I don't really like the term "tech debt" as a metaphor. Obviously I'll use the term it when I'm talking to other software developers, but I try to avoid it when I'm talking to people in "the business." It's useful when it's used correctly, but usually when software developers say "tech debt," what they really mean is something more like "mess." This is a common enough usage that even when "tech debt" would be appropriate, people who aren't software developers but work with software developers often hear "mess," and they'll start to develop the impression that "tech debt" is something that developers say when they did their job poorly, or don't like how the previous team did it. * ⚓ InfoQ ☛ Adopting_Memory-Safety_and_Fine-Grained_Compartmentalisation with_CHERI⠀⇛ David Chisnall discusses how the CHERI hardware architecture redefines pointer safety to solve isolation and sharing challenges. He explains how CHERI enables spatial and temporal memory safety for C/C++, scales down to microcontrollers with CHERIoT, and replaces costly OS-level RPC mechanisms with lightweight, auditable compartmentalization - all without requiring massive codebase rewrites. * ⚓ Var Zero ☛ Mindful_coding:_Purpose_and_intention⠀⇛ "Mindful coding" sounds a bit provocative, maybe even a little clickbaity, I know. I don't mean that you should focus on your breathing while you type, or become acutely aware of every movement of your fingers. What I mean is simpler: be mindful of the intent of the code. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ L_is_for_learning_-_Python_A_to_Z⠀⇛ A life of a software developer — no matter if you’re doing it professionally or as a hobby — is a life of continuous learning. The technologies evolve, problem solving skills are never complete and thanks to very generous sharing from the community, there’s always new things to learn. For today’s entry to Python A-Z, I’ll share different resources that I’ve found good for learning more about Python. o ⚓ Alcides Fonseca ☛ Multithreading_bug_in_Numpy_by_Alcides Fonseca⠀⇛ The whole debugging process is quite interesting, using flame graphs, scale plots and the world-famous good- diagram-technique. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Sal ☛ Fish_shell_trick:_abbr_--set-cursor⠀⇛ Here’s a cool fish trick: [...] o ⚓ Naveen Srinivasan ☛ Read_My_Blog_Over_SSH_::_naveen_srinivasan_— Write_code.Loves_to_read⠀⇛ I have enjoyed the minimalism of the man pages, and it is also cool to have the blog accessible via SSH. The added benefits include no browsers, no cookies, no accounts, and no scrapers. Most of my content is words and code, and there are a few images that won’t be rendered, which is fine. I don’t have gifs, or videos. IMO, most of the tech blogs should be like man pages. Also, I think most of my readers are on the terminal, and they already trust the transport. o ⚓ Alcides Fonseca ☛ Someone_found_the_zsh_bug_I_was_experiencing without_knowing⠀⇛ Well, Michael Stapelberg not only found the bug I was experiencing, but he also shared how he debugged it (low level debugging with notify and bpftrace, which I haven’t touch in a while) and even evaluated how different AI models fare in this task. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Jonathan_Almeida:_Regenerate_the_BuildConfig_file_without assembling_the_whole_module⠀⇛ We have tokens that are added to official builds when a CI server is building the production-ready application. These tokens are added to the BuildConfig.java by using the [buildConfigField]1 function in a build.gradle. While testing, you want to quickly regenerate just this file to see changes occur with a new value.

This is evident from the regular releases of immature, yet highly imaginative, open- source solutions. It’s up to companies like Red Hat to anticipate these developments and help such tools mature into enterprise-ready products. “At Red Hat, we take a project, stabilize it, and turn it into a product. We’re going to do the same for AI.” * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_llm-d_routes_model_inference_traffic_on_Amazon_EKS [Ed: IBM Red Hat promotes slop plagiarism and GAFAM]⠀⇛ In Trace_Kubernetes_resources_for_llm-d_model_serving, we generated the custom resources needed for llm-d model serving. But what actually happens inside your cluster when a prompt arrives? In this post, we follow a request from the ingress gateway down to individual vLLM pods to see how Kubernetes custom resources make real-time routing decisions. Prefer a visual overview? Watch the following video to see how KServe and llm-d set up back-end resources, track KV cache locality, and route incoming traffic. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Replace_LLM_infrastructure_guesswork_with_data-driven planning [Ed: IBM Red Hat selling slop]⠀⇛ You've finalized your model training and confirmed its accuracy. Now, you're staring at a production cluster, trying to answer a simple question: Which GPU do you need, and how many replicas? Most platform teams answer this based on gut feeling. You overprovision "just in case," eating into your budget, or you underprovision and watch latency spike hours after launch. You scramble to reconfigure, and the cycle repeats. "It worked on my laptop, why is it slow in production?" becomes the team's standard refrain. Your deployments are expensive, and your models aren't optimized. Production failures in LLMs usually stem from the same 3 issues: [...] * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Introducing_the_Red_Bait_OpenShift_Virtualization_incident must-gather⠀⇛ Investigating virtual machine (VM) incidents, such as Abusive Monopolist Microsoft backdoored Windows kernel panics ("Blue screen of death", or BSOD for short) or I/O hangs, traditionally required running a cluster-wide must-gather combined with sosreport, which could potentially take hours to run. This approach is resource-intensive, slow to collect, and produces a large dataset that's difficult to review efficiently * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Manage_bare_metal_like_a_cloud_with_Red_Hat_Bare- Metal-as-a-Service_for_OpenShift⠀⇛ Before OpenShift 4.22, Cluster Baremetal Operator in OpenShift provided centralized management for servers with Redfish support with containerized and virtualized workloads. With this new add-on, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform now extends its orchestration capabilities to physical hardware running an operating system (OS) only, outside of the traditional virtualization layer. This allows you to manage a fleet of servers with the same efficiency you expect when managing hardware with VMs or containers on top of OpenShift. The CBO is produced by Metal3, an incubating project within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) that provides Kubernetes- native bare metal host management, enrollment, OS provisioning, and lifecycle management of physical servers. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣶⣦⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣯⣤⣀⡀⠀⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⠂⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠃⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⡟⠋⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⣾⡃⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⢰⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣾⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡿⠏⠀⠀⠀⡀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⣰⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡇⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠈⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣛⣛⣻⠿⢿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠛⣿⣿⡿⠟⢁⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠇⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠁⠀⣠⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⡀⢸⣿⠋⠁⠉⠉⣛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠰⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⡄⢋⠀⣀⣀⣼⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⢫⡍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣌⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⣿⡆⠑⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣭⣭⣭⣭⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣤⣄⣀⣀⣡⣭⣭⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠃⠇⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠂⠀⠀⠁⢀⣶⣶⡄⠀⠀⠈⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠋⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣜⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠖⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠝⠠⠿⢾⣛⣋⡈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣗⠘⠼⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠈⠠⣶⣤⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠂⡏⣼⢸⣿⡏⠉⣀⢀⣄⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢿⣶⠀⠀⠀⢠⣦⢹⣷⣦⢿⢿⠈⠾⢥⠀⢹⢀⣿⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⢽⣿⣼⣏⡿⢸⡊⠀⢡⠆⢠⣶⣾⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣄⣱⡹⣿⣏⣷⣿⡆⠀⢸⠀⠚⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠷⢿⣿⣿⣁⠀⣀⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⡿⠟⠛⠛⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠧ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2557 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/14/Refurbished_Librem_16_Laptops_Now_Available.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/14/Refurbished_Librem_16_Laptops_Now_Available.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Refurbished Librem 16 Laptops Now Available!⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 14, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇refurb_laptop⦈_ Quoting: Refurbished Librem 16 Laptops Now Available! – Purism — Within our first batch of Librem 16s, we noticed a few units with some cosmetic imperfections.

beat Windows at gaming, but PC makers aren't ready to admit it — To be fair, most people never do any of that — they sign into Steam and play. But the fact that enthusiasts feel the need to strip Windows down at all is the point: the default configuration is fighting you, and a gaming-first OS simply isn't. If a purpose-built Linux distribution can deliver a cleaner, faster gaming experience with almost no Linux knowledge required, it's hard to argue that Windows remains the only sensible choice for OEMs. Read_On! ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⣄⣄⣤⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡤⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠘ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⢄⠀⡤⠄⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⡿⣟⣿⡆⢠⡤⠠⣤⢤⣶⢄⣦⢠⣆⣴⢤⠖⣆⣖⡒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠘⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢭⣝⣧⣾⣿⡇⠐⠿⠃⠛⠘⠛⠚⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠒⠃⠒⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢁⠀⠀⠀⠄ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⢤⣤⢤⣴⣾⡶ ⣤⣤⣤⣬⣥⣭⣭⣉⣉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣲⣾⣿⣿⣷⢿⡻⠿⠿⠭⠭⠭⠭⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠿⠿⠿⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀ ⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘ ⠸⣿⡿⠟⣽⡿⠿⠟⠃⠀⢠⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡂⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⡀⡀⡀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣄⠀⣤⣤⣀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣆⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣼⣶⣾⣿⣤⣤⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣌ ⣿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠋⣭⣭⣤⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣠⣤⠤⠤⠄⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠷ ⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣒⠀⠛⡟⠛⠛⠿⠛⠿⠋⠛⠛⠿⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠦⠰⠀⠶⠐⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣛⣛⣋⡁⠀⠀⠰⠿⠿⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⢄⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡐⣒⢒⣀⣀⣀⣀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢋⣩⣍⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣬⣶⣶⢶⠶⣷⡶⢶⡶⣶⡶⠖⠾⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠠⠌⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠉⢀⣀⣤⣾⣿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡶ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠨⠄⠙⠃⠒⠀⠈⠁⠒⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠠⠴⠶⠾⠿⠿⠷⠾⠾⣴⢽⠷⠾⠋⠃ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2989 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/14/Stop_paying_for_Adobe_Microsoft_or_Mathematica_these_free_open_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/14/Stop_paying_for_Adobe_Microsoft_or_Mathematica_these_free_open_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Stop paying for Adobe, Microsoft, or Mathematica—these free open-source alternatives will get you through college⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 14, 2026, updated Aug 14, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇LibreOffice⦈_ Quoting: Stop paying for Adobe, Microsoft, or Mathematica—these free open- source alternatives will get you through college — College is expensive. So is the software you need to get through your classes, including science, math, or video production, even with academic discounts. There are open-source alternatives to popular proprietary apps that can help you survive college without spending too much money. Paid: Mathematica/MATLAB/Maple Free: Python + NumPy and SymPy or SageMath Take the pain out of math Expansion of a binomial in SymPy to create Pascal's triangle. If you're studying science, math, or engineering, there's a good chance you've come across something like Mathematica, MATLAB, or Maple. Mathematica and Maple are computer algebra systems. They're like calculators, but they work on exact algebraic objects instead of decimal approximations you'd get with a calculator. For example, when calculating square roots, they'll show you the exact answer and even factor out perfect squares, as you'd learn in an introductory algebra course. Computer algebra systems let you do other algebraic operations like solving equations and can even handle differential and integral calculus. MATLAB works numerically, but it handles the matrix calculations that are essential to modern science and engineering.

Many of the complaints that users have about Windows are with regard to the default behaviors, and while there isn't a Linux distro out there that is perfect right after install for every possible user, these five Windows defaults simply don't exist on Linux, and it's much better off as a result.

SIEM-Lite_with_a_Few_Useful_Alerts⠀⇛ SIEM-lite is not an undersized enterprise SIEM. It is a small operating model for environments that cannot justify collecting every endpoint, network, identity, and application event. The platform may be a hosted log service, an open-source stack, a monitoring tool, or several provider alerts routed to one reviewed destination. The requirements are the same: the event must arrive, preserve enough context, trigger a meaningful condition, and reach someone who knows what to do. The earlier home logging guide starts with investigation questions. Keep that discipline. A SIEM does not rescue data that has the wrong timestamp, omits the affected user, or disappears before anyone looks. * ⚓ Kyle Reddoch ☛ Building_My_Jellyfin_Server,_Releasing_New_Projects,_and Escaping_the_Heat_(Week_32,_2026)⠀⇛ A busy week of building out my Jellyfin server, releasing new media tools, working from home, cooling off at the city pool, and sending the first Defender's Dispatch. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ The_Agony_Of_Packaging_Linux_Apps⠀⇛ One of the great things of Linux as an ecosystem is that there is so much choice. Yet this is also its greatest weakness, as unlike on MacOS and Windows this means that simple questions often do not have a simple answer. The topic of distributing software is one of these vexing topics that never really goes away, with [Noam Lewis], as author of the Fresh editor, recently expressing their frustrations on this topic. This is a familiar topic that we have covered before, mostly in the context of cross-platform installers.

And as a result, there have been no Plasma 6 LTS versions. …Until now! Plasma 6.6 is now an LTS version.

Before finalising our plans, we also examined how we could continue to develop the product. Ultimately, we issued a Europe-wide, open call for proposals to secure both support and development capacity for LibreOffice. The way we selected the product enhancements stemmed in part from this preliminary study, because we had identified specific import capabilities and compatibility requirements. That’s one major aspect: improving interoperability in line with our needs. The other focus was on improving LibreOffice based on ongoing user feedback and feedback regarding collaboration with external organizations. One example of this was the “Notes” bar in Impress. In the past, users had to edit notes in a separate notes view. We were told very early on that users wanted to be able to do this directly within the slide editing view. This is a very well-known enhancement that we sponsored, which – I think – works very well. In addition, there are many other details, such as scrolling through presentations with the mouse wheel. Previously, you had to keep switching back and forth to the slide overview view to scroll. Now all of this is possible right from within the slide, which simply makes it easier to use and also increases acceptance because users expect it.
