In the wider region of North America. Linux it also surpassed 10% for the first time. * ⚓ Christian Hofstede-Kuhn ☛ Chezmoi_and_Git:_Dotfiles_Without_Pretending Every_Machine_Is_the_Same⠀⇛ My workstation configuration is not one file. It is fish functions and abbreviations, a Git configuration, Neovim Lua, GnuPG and SSH settings, and an Atuin configuration. It has grown over years, which is another way of saying that recreating it from memory would produce something incomplete and subtly annoying. Putting all of it in Git solves the history and distribution problem. It does not solve the deployment problem. Git does not know that dot_gitconfig belongs at ~/.gitconfig, that ~/.ssh should not be world-readable, or that my work machine needs a different email address from a personal laptop. A repository full of symlinks can cover the first problem, and a sufficiently heroic shell script can cover the others, but at that point I have written a small and probably bad configuration manager. * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ I_gave_two_PCs_one_mouse_and_keyboard,_and_they_started feeling_like_one_computer⠀⇛ For months now, my desk has looked like a small server room. A Windows laptop on one side, a Linux laptop on the other, and a tangle of cables in between because I refused to buy two of everything just to switch between them. Every time I wanted to jump from Windows to Linux, I would have to either switch over at least three peripherals by hand, or reach out like an orangutan to use the Linux laptop's keyboard. So I gave both my PCs one set of peripherals, and now they feel like one computer. ⠤⠀⠐⠂⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠉⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⡟⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⢿⣿⡓⡠⠔⠁⠀⠹ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡬⠤⣤⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠐⠚⠿⣿⣧⠁⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣤⣀⣤⣤⣄⣰⣿⣤⠀⣠⣤⣄⢀⣤⣤⣄⢀⣤⡀⣠⣄⣢⣄⣤⣄⣰⣿⣤⡄⣤⣤⣔⢠⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⡿⠿⣿⣍⢹⣿⠉⣨⣭⣿⣿⢹⣿⢉⢺⣿⠉⢉⣿⣟⠉⣿⡧⣿⡇⣿⡇⣿⡏⢹⣿⢹⣿⠉⣾⣿⢿⠿⢺⣿⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠤⢤⡤ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣍⣝⡿⠿⠟⠘⠿⠿⠛⠿⠟⠿⠚⠿⠿⠛⠻⠿⠟⠙⠿⠿⠟⠁⠿⠿⠻⠗⠻⠇⠸⠿⠘⠿⠿⠛⠻⠿⠟⠻⠿⠀⠠⠶⡾⠿⠟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠁⣠⣥⢤⣴⠄⣀⣀⣴⣄⡀⢀⣀⢰⡆⣤⠤⢤⣄⠀⣀⢀⣄⡀⣀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⠖⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠉⠋⠀⢀⣼⣿⣔⣶⣽⣽⣯⣿⣿⣏⣿⣼⣿⣿⡧⣛⣳⣼⣏⣼⣿⣿⣯⣻⣿⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⡤⠔⠂⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠤⠔⣞ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⠂⠀⠀⠀⠙⠟⣿⣭⡉⣈⠊⠛⠕⠛⠉⠁⠉⠍⠉⠉⠍⠍⠊⠙⠩⠩⠑⠍⠉⠙⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠚⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣎⡁⠀⠀⣧ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡬⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⠟⠀⠀⠈ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢺⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠛⠋⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⢶⣿⡗⢸⣿⣷⣧⣶⣦⣴⣮⣤⣦⣶⣦⣴⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢼⣿⣷⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣅⣀⣠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⡄⠋⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣠⡾⠟⠋⠉⠉⠉⠹⣿⣿⣟⣙⣻⣿⣯⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⠟⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣀⢀⣀⣀⡀⡀⠱⡟⠉⢿⡿⣟⢻⡿⠛⢉⠉⠐⠾⣿⣶⣦⣰⢷⡶⣶⣦⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⢉⣿⣿⡏⠉⣭⣽⣿⡟⠷⢶⡵⣵⣿⣿⣾⣅⠾⠿⠿⣮⢻⣿⣿⣦⣳⣿⠛⠛⠃⠃⣾⣦⡄ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣭⣸⣇⣀⣈⣃⣿⡇⠰⠀⣠⣿⣆⣕⣿⣷⠋⠠⣲⡿⡺⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣤⣀⡿⠿⡷ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣇⣉⡿⢽⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⡇⠆⣐⡠⡝⠙⢋⣿⠇⣢⣾⢟⠮⠽⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⡿⡟⠒⠒⠂ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠿⠛⠋⣥⣧⣸⡻⠹⠿⠿⠻⠃⠀⠛⠃⠛⠛⠛⠉⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠫⠙⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠖⠻⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⣀⡀⠀⠀⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⢀⢀⠀⡀⡀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣽⣿⠻⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣿⣾⡻⣟⢿⢻⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣟⡽⣧⣀⣿⣿⣿⡆ ⣿⣿⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠹⠿⢏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⡏⠻⣿⡇⢹⢿⣿⣮⢿⣶⣿⣟⣻⣧⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣽⢿⣿⣿⣿⠁ ⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⡀⠀⢀⣻⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣵⣿⣿⢱⣿⣿⣷⣿⣾⣿⣺⣟⣿⣻⣿⣮⣞⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⡗⢷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣟⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣻⢯⣿⣻⣿⡻⡿⣫⣿⣿⣏⣿⣞⣿⣿⣽⣟⢟⢭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟ ⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1020 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/15/Epic_Games_Store_Will_Support_Linux_Soon.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/15/Epic_Games_Store_Will_Support_Linux_Soon.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Epic Games Store Will Support Linux "Soon"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 15, 2026 * ⚓ Epic_Games_Store_Will_Support_Linux_"Soon"⠀⇛ If you haven't yet, follow us on X (Twitter), Mastodon, or Bluesky to know when we post new articles, and join our Reddit or Subscribe to us on YouTube to check out our content and interact with our awesome community. Thank you for supporting us! Up until now, the only way we could use most storefronts outside of Steam on the Steam Deck was by using a community- made tool or launcher with Proton. For the Epic Games Store and GOG, this usually meant using the Heroic Launcher. However, that is changing, since GOG is still in the process of creating a native Linux version of their storefront. And it sounds like Epic is doing the same. * ⚓ Epic_Games_Store_to_get_an_official_Linux_version,_which_could_mean_a native_app_for_Steam_Deck_and_Machine⠀⇛ Linux gaming could soon become a little easier for users who rely on the Epic Games Store, and when we say that, we’re typically referring to Fortnite players. In any case, Epic Games has confirmed that it is working on a Linux version of its storefront, potentially removing the need for third-party launchers on platforms such as Steam Deck. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Epic_Games_Store_will_get_a_Linux_version_sometime "soon"_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Epic Games recently did an AMA (Ask me anything) in the community Discord server, confirming that a Linux / SteamOS version of the Epic Games Store is coming. I'll file this in the "I'll believe it when I see" it folder… * ⚓ Epic_Games_Launcher_Coming_"Soon"_to_Linux_|_TechPowerUp⠀⇛ Following the launch of the Valve Steam Deck, there has been a growing tide of game and software developers looking to bring their products and projects to the growing body of Linux gamers. Epic Games is no different, with the company previously revealing in a job listing that it was looking to expand Easy Anti-Cheat support on Linux. Following an announcement that Epic Games was rebuilding its game launcher with a new framework that promises 5× faster launch speeds, there has also been speculation that the Fortnite company could be launching a native Linux version of the Epic Games Launcher. * ⚓ “Soon”_–_The_Epic_Games_Store_is_coming_to_Linux⠀⇛ It’s official, the Epic Games Store is coming to Linux. Epic Games Staff have confirmed that a native Linux version of their games launcher is in the works, and that it is coming “soon”. This information was released during an AMA on the Epic Games Store Discord. SteamDeckHQ were the first to report on the news. What’s clear from Epic’s statements is that Epic isn’t just releasing a native Linux version of the Epic Games Store and calling it a day. Broader platform integration is planned. Currently, the Epic Games Store does not sell native Linux versions of games. Moving forward, native Linux game versions may be supported. That said, it is more likely that Epic will us a compatability layer to allow Windows games to run on Linux, which is similar to how Valve/Steam operates. * ⚓ TechRadar ☛ Epic_Games_Store_is_going_to_support_Linux_'soon'_—_and that's_great_news_for_Steam_Deck_owners⠀⇛ Epic will be making a native version of its launcher for Linux, and on top of that, Nvidia's GeForce Now app for Linux is also official, having emerged from beta. The delivery of the Epic Games Store for Linux will be a big win for Steam Deck owners, and other Linux gamers who want to access Epic's gaming platform with no fuss, and as Steam Deck HQ reports (via VideoCardz), that native incarnation is coming. An Epic employee (@onepercentnachos) was questioned on this subject at an AMA ('ask me anything' session) on the Discord server for the Epic Games Store community. They replied that a native version of the store is coming "soon" albeit not in the next preview build. The staffer noted that "we need to do more than simply have a build of the launcher that can run natively on Linux". * ⚓ Video Cardz ☛ Epic_Games_Store_will_officially_support_Linux,_Epic confirms⠀⇛ Epic Games is working on official Linux support for the Epic Games Store. An Epic staff member confirmed that Linux support is coming “soon,” although it will not be part of the next preview release. The confirmation came during an AMA on the official Epic Games Store community Discord. * ⚓ PC Gamer ☛ The_Epic_Games_Launcher_will_be_available_on_Linux_'soon' says_dev,_after_it's_had_a_bit_of_work⠀⇛ Linux gaming has been rumbling along in the background for some time. However, this seems to be the year it reaches a wider audience, as proper Linux support has become a much-requested feature for many platforms. Next up is the Epic Games Store/Launcher, it seems, as an Epic dev has responded to a user query about Linux support with an emoji saying "soon." The conversation was spotted (and indeed, screenshotted) by Mr_Madafaka on Reddit. * ⚓ The_Epic_Games_Store_is_getting_official_Linux_support⠀⇛ This information was shared by an Epic developer on the official Discord server dedicated to the Epic Games Store community. According to this employee, they will need to put on some significant work to offer said Linux compatibility. Broader integration across multiple platforms may be in the works. The American company aims to do more than simply offer a launcher capable of running natively on Linux. * ⚓ Video Cardz ☛ Epic_Games_Store_will_officially_support_Linux,_Epic confirms⠀⇛ Epic Games is working on official Linux support for the Epic Games Store. An Epic staff member confirmed that Linux support is coming “soon,” although it will not be part of the next preview release. The confirmation came during an AMA on the official Epic Games Store community Discord. According to Epic staff member @onepercentnachos, supporting Linux requires more work than simply producing a native Linux build, suggesting that Epic is preparing broader platform integration rather than only porting the launcher. * ⚓ Epic_Games_Confirms_the_Epic_Games_Store_Is_Coming_to_Linux⠀⇛ Epic Games is working on an official Linux version of the Epic Games Store, giving Linux gamers a first-party alternative to the community launchers and compatibility tools currently used to access Epic libraries. An Epic Games staff member confirmed the plan during an AMA on the Epic Games Store community Discord server. When asked about a Linux version of the launcher, the developer said it was coming “soon.” * ⚓ Epic_Games_Store_launcher_for_Linux_is_in_the_works,_but_it_won't launch_anytime_soon⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1219 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/15/Fedora_and_Red_Hat_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/15/Fedora_and_Red_Hat_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Fedora and Red Hat Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 15, 2026 * ⚓ Remi Collet ☛ Remi_Collet:_🎲_PHP_version_8.4.25RC1_and_8.5.10RC1⠀⇛ Release Candidate versions are available in the testing repository for Fedora and Enterprise Linux (RHEL / CentOS / Alma / Rocky and other clones) to allow more people to test them.

Perhaps you’re a system administrator and a workstation’s SSD has been silently accumulating errors for months, and now a user is reporting corrupted files. Drive failures are rarely instant, they give subtle warnings (through rising temperatures, increasing error counts, and wear indicators) but only if you’re watching. Most people will only check on disk health after problems start, by then it may be too late. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Developer_experience_improvements_you_can_apply_to_your_own projects⠀⇛ Kubeflow_Pipelines (KFP) and Open_Data_Hub (ODH) are the open source projects I've been contributing to the most in the last few years.

Today’s post is about our recent journey in redesigning the calendar portion of Thunderbird, and what you can expect us to deliver in the near future. The calendar is a key part of any productivity toolset, from your PC Desktop to your office wall. There has been a calendar in Thunderbird since early in the project, and like all parts of the application, it’s evolved on its own terms, for better or for worse. It has many layers of functionality, but the experience has lost parity with current UI standards — at this point, it feels stylistically dated and functionally convoluted. So, with the help of the design team and the developers and the community, we have taken on the task of modernizing and streamlining the calendar. This is my account of the designers’ part of that journey. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Just_released:_Raspberry_Pi_Book_of_Making_2027⠀⇛ Each month in Raspberry Pi Official Magazine, we strive to bring you an eclectic mix of DIY electronics, 3D prints, microcontrollers, sensors, motors, and other fun things to do with Raspberry Pi.

For example, one vote for the spec was from NSA's Mike Jenkins, who had never sent email to the TLS mailing list before. I responded by calling for volunteers to speak up on the public-interest side. I'm happy to report that 82 people spoke up on the TLS mailing list in unambiguous opposition to this spec during the voting period. There were also some additional people (Izzy Grosof, for example, and Ivan Visconti) who had already registered opposition before the voting period; I've heard credible reports of further opposition messages being blocked by the chairs; and, even though this wasn't filed as opposition, it was good to see the following statement from Roberto Avanzi: "as a codesigner of ML-KEM myself I would not trust using it exclusively: what if it gets broken mathematically and in the classical computational model (I.e. non-quantum)? Hybrid is better, and the additional time used by ECC is not significant." (In the opposite direction, I've been pointed to the following claim from Thomas Ptacek: "The more cryptography-literate you are, the more likely it is you think hybrids are silly." Oh, well, I guess that settles it then.) For 75 of the 82 people with opposition statements on the list during this voting period, I see no way that anyone can even try arguing that anything in their messages suggests the possibility of spec modifications removing the objections. I've taken quotes from those 75 people and forwarded them to "IESG", the Internet Engineering Steering Group, along with my replies to talking points from spec proponents. Copies of my messages to IESG: 1, 2, 3, 4.

However, for those of us playing on the Steam Deck, there’s some sad news: the Linux version of the game is no longer supported. * ⚓ Payday_2_Gets_New_Engine_13_Years_Post-Launch_and_Officially_Loses Native_Linux_Version⠀⇛ The new Diesel Engine V3 improves the game in a number of ways, but the highlights include moving to a 64-bit architecture, adopting DirectX 11, improving CPU utilization for modern multithreaded CPUs, improving load times and the installed game size, and adding native VR support. Of course, this hasn't come without some trade-offs, one of the most impactful of which is the loss of the native Linux build of the game. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Hand_of_Fate:_Hordes_is_a_bullet_heaven_survivor-like filled_with_story-telling_and_games_of_chance_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Hand of Fate: Hordes recently entered Early Access bringing some interesting story-telling, games of chance and deck- building to the bullet heaven genre. A rather wide genre now that exploded initially with Vampire Survivors, where it seems like every indie developer wants to try their hand at it. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Raft_meets_Don't_Starve_in_the_new_survival_game Coastless_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Going right into my list of must-haves for co-op gaming with my partner, Coastless is a fresh survival crafting game blending Raft and Don't Starve. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ The_LULULOOK_Gaming_Pillow_for_Steam_Deck_is_the ultimate_way_to_be_lazy_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ LULULOOK sent over the LULULOOK Gaming Pillow for Steam Deck and it has become my go-to when I want to be truly lazy. I was a big fan of the similar one from Mechanism, but that's now gone in a cupboard because this one is actually a lot more useful. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Hell_Let_Loose:_Vietnam_arrives_on_Steam_and_works_on SteamOS_/_Linux_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ The tactical online shooter Hell Let Loose: Vietnam from Expression Games / Team17 has now officially launched and it does thankfully work on SteamOS / Linux. Disclosure: a key was provided to GamingOnLinux to cover it. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ System_Shock_VR,_High_On_Life_VR_and_more_from_the_VR Games_Showcase_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ We're getting some fun VR treats that were announced during the recent VR Games Showcase - now I just need Valve to release the damn Steam Frame. * ⚓ Robert Lützner ☛ My_kids_are_kicking_my_ass_at_chess⠀⇛ But I’m seriously impressed at how quickly they’ve picked it up. I think I was 10 or 11 when I first learned chess, first from a friend that I met on vacation and later from my grandpa. I eventually got good enough to consistently beat my grandpa, but that was a long time ago and I’ve lost tons of games since then. * ⚓ [Old] Brett Chalupa ☛ Make_Games_for_Playdate_with_Lua⠀⇛ Written in a fun and accessible style, Make Games for Playdate with Lua is a great way to get started learning game programming. The book is perfect for beginners. And if you've already made some games before, you'll feel right at home as you go through the chapters. You'll code a bunch of small games from scratch to learn everything you need to bring your game ideas to reality. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1814 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/15/GNOME_51_Desktop_Environment_Is_Now_Available_for_Public_Beta_T.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/15/GNOME_51_Desktop_Environment_Is_Now_Available_for_Public_Beta_T.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNOME 51 Desktop Environment Is Now Available for Public Beta Testing⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Aug 15, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GNOME_51_beta⦈_ Coming a month and a half after GNOME 51 alpha, the GNOME 51 beta release improves GNOME Shell with better keyboard navigation of screenshot area selection, SVG-based cursor implementations, initial support for the ‘reduced- motion’ setting, support for web login and a unified auth mechanism, and support for copy, paste, and cut action keys in entries.

A bug report filed on GitHub on Aug. 13 laid out the numbers: a single line of log output triggers more than 49KB of disk writes on the ext4 filesystem and more than 110KB on btrfs. For context, a typical log line is a few hundred bytes at most. The finding has drawn sharp attention from the open-source community and reignited a years-old argument about how Linux handles something as basic as writing a log file. * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ Video Cardz ☛ Intel_XPU_Manager_2.1_adds_P2P_topology_view_for Arc_Pro_GPUs⠀⇛ Intel has released XPU Manager 2.1, the latest version of its open-source GPU monitoring and management software. The tool is primarily intended for Intel Arc Pro graphics and provides telemetry, configuration and device information through the XPU-SMI command-line interface. In that sense, it’s pretty similar to NVIDIA-SMI tool. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ GSoC_2026_Final_Wrap-up:_Tournaments,_Bots,_and_Voice_Chat in_Mankala⠀⇛ It has been an incredible 12-week journey contributing to the KDE Community for Surveillance Giant Google Summer of Code 2026! The guidance and support from my mentors, Benson Muite and Srisharan VS was incredible. A lots of code, contributions and conversation over this happy period. ✐ Here is a comprehensive summary of what we accomplished this summer:⠀✐ § XMPP Integration in Login and UI updates (Weeks 1-3)⠀➾ I began by integrating in-game XMPP server registration (following XEP-0077:_In-Band Registration), complete with compliance checks to ensure protocol adherence. On the frontend, I redesigned the Profile Page to dynamically fetch profile icons and usernames directly from the user's logged-in XMPP account. o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ This Week in GNOME ☛ This_Week_in_GNOME:_#262_Minor_Major Update⠀⇛ Update on what happened across the GNOME project in the week from August 7 to August 14. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ ZDNet ☛ I_used_OpenFactory_to_build_my_own_Linux_distro_overnight -_this_AI_tool_is_going_to_be_big⠀⇛ Recently, a developer, Erik Ziegenbalg, reached out to me to test his new service, called OpenFactory. I was skeptical at first, because I've seen such services make lofty promises they didn't deliver on. Still, I offered to give it a try. o ⚓ OpenFactory's_AI_builds_custom_Linux_distros_overnight [Ed: Seems to be a parasitic slopfarm]⠀⇛ o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Add_multiple_picture_widgets_to_your_Ubuntu desktop⠀⇛ If you remember that desktop picture widget for GNOME I wrote about last year, but found it a bit too basic for your personalisation preferences, you weren’t alone. Another user felt it could lacked enough flexibility, so forked and improved it. Picture Desktop Widget Remake improves on the original. It lets add multiple picture widgets to your Ubuntu desktop, and assign each one a different folder to pull images from, at random. Plus, you can set the size, position, border radius and aspect ratio of each widget individually. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2034 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/15/I_put_Linux_on_a_tablet_and_KDE_Plasma_handled_everything_I_thr.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/15/I_put_Linux_on_a_tablet_and_KDE_Plasma_handled_everything_I_thr.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ I put Linux on a tablet, and KDE Plasma handled everything I threw at it⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 15, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇KDE_plasma_bigscreen⦈_ Quoting: I put Linux on a tablet, and KDE Plasma handled everything I threw at it — Using a desktop operating system with a traditional tablet-like design has its challenges. For starters, you have to deal with worse battery life and, more importantly, a user interface that is just not built for a touchscreen. It’s been especially bad on Linux, and while touch-focused interfaces have existed for decades, there really haven’t been many suitable options for an x86 tablet. That is, until now. I took out my trusty Flow Z13 and installed KDE Plasma on it, expecting it to be completely disappointing — but imagine my surprise when Plasma 6 just worked, with minimal tweaks.

Approach Other Distros Might Want to Take Note of — Don't think that this move came out of the blue. Nitrux has been busy building this up since last year, when it swapped out KDE Plasma for Hyprland and told everyone that they were headed towards 'a new beginning' that was not for everyone. The project now has a name for what it has been creating, the "Workspace Environment." It ties together four new in-house developed components as pieces of a five-layer architecture, presenting a very different desktop experience for Nitrux than we are used to. Uri Herrera, Nitrux's founder, describes it as filling a gap, where a window manager gives you almost nothing beyond window placement and a full desktop environment like GNOME or Plasma bundles everything into one tightly coupled process tree.

Nvidia's native GeForce Now app for Linux has officially left beta, giving the open-source OS a major, refined cloud streaming option beyond the web browser. The finished version focuses on "performance, stability, and polish," Nvidia says. There's also a new Flatpack repository to simplify installation and updates. GeForce Now on Linux officially requires Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or later as well as a dual-core 2GHz processor, 4GB of RAM, and a GPU capable of Vulkan-based H.264 or H.265 video decoding. You'll need at least a 15Mbps internet connection, with more bandwidth (plus one of the Premium plans) necessary for higher resolutions and frame rates.

It’s a project built by three Surveillance Giant Google engineers with the help of Surveillance Giant Google Antigravity. It includes code to run an on-device, fully offline voice translator/interpreter using Gemma 4 E2B (2.3B effective / ~5.1B total parameters with per- layer embeddings) and the LiteRT runtime. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ EITWatch_open-source_ESP32-S3_smartwatch_implements planar_EIT_hand_gesture_recognition⠀⇛ Researchers from Northwestern University have introduced EITWatch, an open-source ESP32-S3-based EIT (Electrical Impedance Tomography) gesture-sensing system that fits within a standard smartwatch footprint. It relies on a Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32-S3 board and eight electrodes arranged on the back of the case to detect hand gestures via impedance changes caused by muscle and tendon movement beneath the skin. Unlike other wrist-EIT systems that use circumferential electrode bands, EITWatch places all eight electrodes on the back of the smartwatch case. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Uninvasive_EEG_Interface_Could_Be_Used_To_Play_Games⠀⇛ The device is referred to as Octopus 16, so named because it combines sixteen EEG electrodes into a single compact package, along with the required common reference and ground. The contacts themselves are pogo pins, assembled into a coin-sized cluster. The device is strapped to the head, pushing the contacts against the scalp, and data from the electrodes is then siphoned off to a host machine via Bluetooth Low Energy. The EEG signals are picked up with a pair of Texas Instruments ADS131M08 ADCs, each with 8 channels, with a resolution of 24- bits to capture fine detail in whatever the brain is doing. An ESP32 microcontroller is responsible for grabbing the ADC output and trucking it out over Bluetooth. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Blue_Pill-Style_STM32C5_Board_Adds_Oberon-2_Firmware Support⠀⇛ Norwegian-based Tenko has released an open-hardware development board based on STMicroelectronics’ STM32C5 microcontroller family.

It needs no account or server. It identifies a project from its Git remote and keeps the variables in a global store under your home directory, so every worktree for that repo uses the same store. It can import an existing .env, write one into a new worktree, export variables to your shell, or run a command with them. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Reading_notes_on_Code_That_Fits_in_Your_Head_by_Mark_Seemann⠀⇛ Throughout the book, the author makes it clear that he believes one should pay attention to the code one writes, to its internal quality.

The goal is sustainable software.” * ⚓ OWASP ☛ OWASP_Top_10_CI/CD_Security_Risks_|_OWASP_Foundation⠀⇛ CI/CD environments, processes, and systems are the beating heart of any modern software organization.

Their HTML is a mess of randomly generated class names and deeply nested divs. The structure changes every deployment. Any script that relies on DOM selectors breaks within weeks because the class name doesn't exist anymore. * ⚓ [Old] Var Zero ☛ What_even_are_microservices?⠀⇛ It's almost impossible to have a conversation about software architecture without someone bringing up microservices. Just look at the discussion over my last post. They have become the default example of both "good architecture" and "over- engineering," depending on who you ask. What's interesting is that everyone seems to recognize a microservice when they see one, yet almost nobody can explain what actually makes something a microservice. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Python_packaging_council_candidates_announced⠀⇛ The Python Software Foundation (PSF) has announced the candidates running for the Python packaging council that was approved_by_the_Python_steering_council_in_April. o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ M_is_for_meetups_-_Python_A_to_Z⠀⇛ You have likely been to a meetup. I love meetups. I’ve been participating in them for 13 years and have been running my own for over 10 years. A lot of my best friendships have started from those communities. I have written about meetups and conferences from various perspectives in the past so consider this post as a literature review of sorts. o ⚓ Adam Johnson ☛ Python:_fix_TypeError:_NamedTuple()_got_an unexpected_keyword_argument⠀⇛ NamedTuple has always had two documented ways to define fields: the class-based syntax, and a functional syntax taking a list of (name, type) pairs. The keyword-argument style above was never one of them, it worked only as a side effect of the old implementation happening to accept **kwargs. This form was therefore deprecated and removed in Python 3.15, with NamedTuple’s signature now locked to positional-only. o ⚓ Adam Johnson ☛ Python:_fix_SyntaxWarning:_invalid_octal_escape sequence⠀⇛ Python strings support octal escape sequences: a backslash followed by one to three octal digits (0–7), such as \120, which represents the character with that codepoint. Three octal digits can encode any value from 0 to 0o777 (511 in decimal), but octal escapes were only ever intended to cover single bytes, 0 to 0o377 (255 in decimal), the range used by earlier character sets like Latin-1. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Vikash Patel ☛ How_Go_Channels_Actually_Work⠀⇛ Go’s concurrency model comes from Tony Hoare’s 1978 paper, Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP). In traditional multi-threaded environments, threads communicate by sharing memory. To prevent race conditions, you lock that memory using mutexes. This approach has well-known failure modes: it is easy to introduce deadlocks, lock contention degrades throughput, and tracking ownership of shared data structures becomes difficult as codebases grow. CSP flips this pattern. Concurrent processes communicate by passing data through explicit, synchronized input and output ports: [...] ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2686 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/15/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/15/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 15, 2026 * ⚓ OpenSSF (Linux Foundation) ☛ CRA_Monthly_Tech_Talk:_ORBIT_Launchpad_SIG Updates⠀⇛ * ⚓ Diffoscope ☛ Reproducible_Builds_(diffoscope):_diffoscope_328 released⠀⇛ The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of diffoscope version 328. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Over_1,000_Charities_Hit_by_Beacon_CRM_Data_Breach⠀⇛ The root cause of the incident is believed to be a compromised proprietary trap AWS access key that was exposed in publicly available JavaScript build artifacts. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ AmnesiaStealer_macOS_Malware_Steals_Data,_Controls Browser_Sessions⠀⇛ The Rust-based macOS infostealer harvests users’ passwords, keychain information, Chromium-based browser data, and Safari cookies. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Friday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (.NET 10.0, .NET 8.0, .NET 9.0, bind, bind9.16, and dracut), Debian (apr-util, chromium, postgresql-17, python-httplib2, unzip, and zip), Fedora (erlang-cowboy, erlang-cowlib, flatpak, and libnfs), Gentoo (Apache HTTPD, Bubblewrap, Dnsmasq, Exim, Flatpak, libinput, and rsync), Mageia (dhcpcd, qemu, and roundcubemail), Oracle (.NET 8.0, .NET 9.0, bind, bind9.16, freerdp, glib2, gnome-remote-desktop, grafana, gstreamer1-plugins-good, isns- utils, java-17-openjdk, kernel, libpng, libXfont2, nghttp2, perl-DBI:1.641, python-idna, python3.9, and xorg-x11-server), Slackware (rsync), SUSE (bouncycastle, chromium, dnsdist, dracut, java-1_8_0-ibm, kernel, libXfont2, nodejs22, nodejs24, php8, python-httplib2, rrdtool, rsyslog, samba, and wireshark), and Ubuntu (linux, linux-aws, linux-kvm, linux-aws-hwe, linux- aws-hwe, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-hwe, linux-azure, linux- gcp, linux-hwe, linux-oracle, linux-lowlatency, linux- lowlatency-hwe-6.8, linux-nvidia-tegra, linux-oracle, linux-nvidia-tegra-igx, linux-oem-7.0, linux- oracle, and node-axios). * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Just_one_instruction_on_AMD's_2015-era_CPUs_cracks open_secret_memory_areas_and_gives_full_hardware-level_control_—_exploit for_15h_and_16h_chip_families_gets_you_access_to_Platform_Security Processor,_microcode,_and_System_Management_Interface⠀⇛ Just one instruction on AMD CPUs gets you access to Platform Security Processor, microcode, and System Management Interface — exploit for 15h and 16h chip families cracks open secret memory areas * ⚓ Security Week ☛ 14,000_Trezor_Customers_Impacted_by_Data_Breach_at ShipMonk⠀⇛ Hackers stole the customers’ shipping information, including names, addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Hackers_Exploiting_Unpatched_GeoServer_Zero-Day⠀⇛ The security defect is described as an SQL injection that could allow attackers to achieve remote code execution. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ 1.6_Million_Likely_Impacted_by_RingCentral_Data Breach⠀⇛ The hackers published the allegedly stolen information, including names, addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Trivy,_Not_LiteLLM_Behind_the_2,500_Org_Compromise⠀⇛ Over 95% of the affected companies were exposed before the malicious LiteLLM packages were published. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ In_Other_News:_Rapid7_Layoffs,_Hacking_a_Boeing_737, Refrigeration_System_Vulnerabilities⠀⇛ Noteworthy stories that might have slipped under the radar: government Hey Hi (AI) platform deal sparks outrage, North Korean IT worker breaches federal agency, DEF CON attendee blamed for Delta flight disruption. * ⚓ InfoSecurity Magazine ☛ New_Mirai-Based_Linux_Botnet_‘Evooo1Bot’_Turns Victims_Into_Proxies_-_Infosecurity_Magazine⠀⇛ A new modular Linux botnet family based on publicly leaked source code from the Mirai botnet has been linked to exploitation attempts for several vulnerabilities in edge devices.
