█▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Best Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇diary⦈_ * ⚓ Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Alternatives_to_Apple_Journal⠀⇛ Apple Journal is a personal journaling app for recording everyday moments and special events. Entries can include text, photos, videos, audio recordings, drawings, locations and your state of mind. There are also writing prompts and journaling suggestions, multiple journals, search, calendar and map views, and facilities for tracking your journaling habits. Journal is proprietary software and is not available for Linux. We recommend the best free and open source alternatives. * ⚓ Beelink_EQi_304:_Can_Linux_Make_Proper_Use_of_Its_One_Fast_CPU_Core?⠀⇛ The kernel is clearly aware that this is a hybrid processor. It reports that hybrid CPU capacity scaling is enabled, with Intel’s P-state driver and Hardware P-states also active. Linux therefore has the information it needs to account for the different capabilities of the cores. The interesting question is whether the scheduler uses that information well. Before looking at scheduling behaviour, I measured a single- threaded OpenSSL SHA-256 workload when explicitly restricted to each CPU. This shows how much performance can be at stake when Linux chooses one type of core over another. * ⚓ Choreonoid_-_integrated_graphical_framework_for_robot_development⠀⇛ The framework is designed to remain lightweight while providing a common environment for researchers, developers and engineers working with robot models and control systems. Its plugin architecture is central to the design, allowing specialised functionality to be added without rebuilding the application around a particular robot or research project. Because visualization, simulation and motion editing share the same environment, developers can examine a model, test its behaviour and refine motions without continually switching applications. Choreonoid has been used for projects spanning academic research, industrial robotics and entertainment, with a particularly long history in humanoid robotics. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ cockpit-podman_-_web_interface_for_managing_Podman_containers⠀⇛ The software fits naturally into Cockpit’s browser-based approach to system management. It provides a consolidated view of Podman resources and exposes common lifecycle and inspection tasks from the same interface used for other Cockpit administration modules. This makes it particularly useful for administrators who want direct control over containers on a server without adopting a larger container orchestration platform. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ osmin_-_GPS_navigator_for_on-road_and_off-road_use⠀⇛ On desktop systems it maintains a dedicated osmin directory beneath the user’s home directory for configuration, downloaded resources and other persistent data. Linux and BSD are supported build and test environments, while Android packages target ARM devices. This combination makes it particularly relevant for walkers, cyclists and drivers who prefer open mapping data and self-contained navigation tools. This is free and open source software. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠾⣽⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣎⡈⠟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⠀⡆⣿⣸⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⢠⠀⣆⠀⠈⠈⢿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⠿⣭⣙⣻⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣸⢸⠃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠈⠇⠘⠀⣶⣤⡀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⢛⣓⠶⣤⣍⣙⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠟⠛⠟⠛⠛⢙⣥⣛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣆⣭⣀⣤⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣷⣽⡿⢿⣦⡸⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠶⣦⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣿⣿⣿⣷⣬⣁⠶⣄⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠘⣿⣿⣷⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣭⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠙⠿⢿⣿⣾⣿⣦⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⣀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⡄⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣮⣭⣉⡻⢿⣷⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⢿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠋⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠠⡤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣮⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠹⢹⣿⣿⣿⡇⣈⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⢶⣦⣄⣀⣘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠉⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⣿⣷⣶⣤⣾⣇⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠹⣿⣧⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣭⣉⠉⠉⠈⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠙⠿⣾⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡤⠀⠀⢿⡶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡃⠀⢻⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠠⠀⢸⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⢸ ⠀⣴⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠂⠀⠘⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠸⣿⣿⠛⠃⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢷⣆⣸ ⣾⡟⠀⠀⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣋⠀⠀⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣥⡀⠀⠻⣿⣷⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠁⠀⠀⠘⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠀⠀⣽⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣟⣉⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣷⡄⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡟⠹⣿⣿ ⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣤⣦⠈⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣦⣠⣤⣽⣿⣏⣹⣿⣾⣧⣶⣾⣿ ⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣴⣶⣤⣽⣿⣿⡏⢹⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿ ⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⣼⣿⠡⣿⠟⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣤⣴⣤⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⣿⡏⠀⢥⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⢸⣿⣧⣤⡀⢀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 334 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/24/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/24/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Best Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Google_Cloud_Build⦈_ * ⚓ Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Alternatives_to_Google_Cloud_Build⠀⇛ Google Cloud Build is a managed build service running on Google Cloud infrastructure. It can pull source code from repositories or cloud storage, execute a series of build steps, and produce artifacts such as container images and Java archives. Build steps run in containers. You can use builders supplied by Google and the community, or create your own. Builds can also be triggered automatically when code changes, making Cloud Build useful for continuous integration and delivery. Google Cloud Build is proprietary software. Here are our recommended free and open source alternatives. * ⚓ Journal_Viewer_-_graphical_systemd_journal_viewer⠀⇛ It provides a graphical alternative to working directly with journalctl. The application displays a summary graph of recent log activity and provides a quick search facility for filtering messages using case-insensitive text matching. More advanced filtering lets you narrow entries by log priority, date range, systemd service unit, transport and system boot. Individual log entries can be expanded to reveal more information, while infinite scrolling makes it convenient to browse large quantities of journal data. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ ScoutFS_-_clustered_file_system_for_large_archival_systems⠀⇛ It takes a different approach from putting an archive application on top of a conventional file system and repeatedly walking an enormous namespace. ScoutFS provides archive- oriented metadata and interfaces that let archive agents find and maintain files more directly. Multiple hosts can mount the same file system while sharing access to its underlying block devices, allowing a deployment to add nodes as archival bandwidth requirements increase. Its design is aimed at installations where both file population and storage throughput can become extreme, while applications still see familiar file-system semantics. ScoutFS is therefore a specialist option for large data repositories and active archives rather than a general-purpose desktop file system. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ knife_-_reverse_engineering_toolkit_for_binary_analysis⠀⇛ The program combines a command-line interface with an interactive terminal workspace. The latter provides a more exploratory workflow, letting analysts move between recovered functions, listings, cross-references and other views while retaining their own annotations. The underlying analysis engine is shared between the interfaces, so information recorded during an investigation remains available when switching between commands and the interactive environment. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ sbomnix_-_generate_Software_Bills_of_Materials_for_Nix⠀⇛ It accepts Nix flake references, derivations and store paths, determines their dependencies and exports the resulting inventory in standard SBOM formats. The distinction between build-time and runtime dependencies is important in Nix, and sbomnix can work with either. When sufficient Nixpkgs information is available, it also enriches discovered components with metadata rather than limiting the result to package names and dependency relationships. The repository contains several related utilities for investigating Nix software supply chains. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Neko_-_self-hosted_virtual_browser_and_remote_desktop⠀⇛ Neko is a self-hosted virtual browser and remote desktop system that streams a Linux graphical environment through WebRTC. Instead of transferring browser state or individual application data to participants, Neko runs the graphical session remotely and delivers synchronized audio and video to connected users. Multiple participants can enter the same environment and interact with it, making the software useful for collaborative browsing, demonstrations, teaching, watch parties, support sessions and controlled remote access to applications. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ RTAB-Map_-_graph-based_SLAM_and_3D_mapping_application⠀⇛ It is designed to work with visual and range sensors and uses incremental appearance-based loop closure detection to recognise when a robot revisits a previously mapped location. Accepted loop closures add constraints to the map graph, which can then be optimised to reduce accumulated positioning error. A memory-management strategy limits the number of locations considered during loop detection and graph optimisation, helping the system remain practical for large environments. RTAB-Map can be used as a standalone graphical application or integrated into a wider robotics stack, with data stored in project databases that can be inspected, replayed and processed by accompanying tools. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Molsketch_-_2D_molecular_structure_editor⠀⇛ Molsketch supports more than straightforward atom and bond diagrams. Drawings can contain reaction arrows, equilibrium arrows, mechanism arrows, frames, brackets and free text. It can also represent lone pairs and radical electrons. Alignment, spacing and structure-cleanup tools help produce consistent diagrams, and users can explicitly control the direction of attached hydrogen atoms where needed. The program uses its own MSK document format and MSM format for individual molecules. OpenBabel integration significantly extends file handling by allowing structures to be imported from and exported to additional chemistry formats. Molsketch can also use OpenBabel to optimize coordinates. Recent development has included fixes to its OpenBabel export path as well as continued work on rendering and drawing behaviour. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ JFFS2_-_log-structured_file_system_for_raw_flash_storage⠀⇛ It sits directly on Linux Memory Technology Device (MTD) flash rather than relying on a translation layer that makes flash behave like an ordinary disk. Raw flash has very different constraints: erase operations happen at block granularity, blocks have finite erase lifetimes, and NAND devices restrict repeated writes to a page. JFFS2 is integrated into the Linux kernel and is suited to relatively modest NOR and NAND flash devices. It does not maintain an on-media index, so mounting requires a scan of the medium and memory consumption grows as the file system becomes larger. This makes it less scalable than UBIFS for large flash devices, but it remains useful in embedded systems. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ OpenPonk_-_metamodeling_platform_and_modeling_workbench⠀⇛ Rather than concentrating on a single modeling notation, OpenPonk provides a common platform that can be extended through plugins. This allows different modeling languages and techniques to share the same underlying workbench while retaining tools tailored to their particular notation.

The human connections are what make a conference special, and CppCon being the largest C++ conference, there is no shortage. If you just want to wind down with a hot cup of coffee, good luck — someone you’ve been meaning to talk to will inevitably pop up next to you. * ⚓ Qt_Creator_20.0.2_released⠀⇛ ⚓ We are happy to announce the release of Qt Creator 20.0.2!⠀⇛ The release fixes issues with the recent releases of the Android command line tools, and updates Qt Creator for changes in Xcode 27, the iOS Simulator, and Qt 6.12.0. * ⚓ Hot_Reload_in_Qt_6.12⠀⇛ § QML Preview We've had a thing called "QML Preview" for a number of years now. You can be forgiven for not having noticed. It's well hidden deep in the guts of Qt Design Studio where it's quietly doing what it does: it runs your design through the qml tool and gets notified when you change some file. Then it re-loads the currently visible scene, without re-starting the process, making your changes visible. This way you get faster turnaround when prototyping different designs. * ⚓ Security_advisory:_CVE-2026-79616_Out-of-bounds_read_vulnerability_in Context2D.path_and_PathSvg.path_properties_impacts_Qt_Quick⠀⇛ Out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Qt Quick Context2D.path and PathSvg.path properties of the QQuickSvgParser component has been discovered and has been assigned the CVE id CVE-2026- 79616.  * ⚓ Canvas2D:_WatchUI_Demo⠀⇛ In the previous_blog_post I introduced Canvas2D, the new QML item in Qt 6.12 that lets you paint with JavaScript using the GPU through Qt Canvas Painter. That post was about the Hey Hi (AI) what it is, how it compares to Qt_Quick_Canvas and to the QCanvasPainter_C++_API, and how fast it is. But that post might have left someone wondering what a real UI built with it could actually look like. So, while testing Canvas2D (and QQEM) in preparation for the Qt 6.12.0 release, I spent a few days building a demo application to give some ideas. WatchUI is a smartwatch demo with six swipeable views, running on a 3D watch model. * ⚓ Qt_Bridge_for_Rust_0.3_Beta:_CXX-Qt_Compatibility_and_Soundness⠀⇛ As part of the on-going development of Qt_Bridges, we are out with a new beta version of Qt Bridge for Rust, with a focus on CXX-Qt compatibility and soundness. The API surface has changed in only a handful of places compared to 0.2. Where it did change, it is mostly because we removed any API we could not make sound. * ⚓ Security_advisory:_CVE-2026-78253_Denial-of-service_(stack-exhaustion) vulnerability_in_QXmlStreamReader::readElementText()_impacts_Qt⠀⇛ A denial-of-service (stack-exhaustion) vulnerability in the QXmlStreamReader::readElementText() function of the XML parsing functionality of Qt Core has been discovered and has been assigned the CVE id CVE-2026-78253.  ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 685 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/24/Canonical_is_Propping_Up_Slop_Hype_Even_in_Ubuntu.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/24/Canonical_is_Propping_Up_Slop_Hype_Even_in_Ubuntu.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Canonical is Propping Up Slop (Hype), Even in Ubuntu⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 24, 2026 * ⚓ Canonical ☛ Accelerating_delivery_of_CVE_fixes_with_a_new_Kernel release_strategy⠀⇛ When it comes to fixing security vulnerabilities, speed is crucial. * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_speeds_up_kernel_security_updates_because_of_AI⠀⇛ Ubuntu kernel security updates will arrive on a near-weekly basis, as Canonical tries to keep pace with an 'explosion' of issues being detected through AI. * ⚓ Canonical ☛ Ubuntu_coming_soon_to_Snapdragon_X2_Series_platforms, unlocking_more_GNU/Linux_PCs_for_the_agentic_world [Ed: Nonsensical slop predictions on a bubble's disappointing crystal ball]⠀⇛ Canonical and Qualcomm Technologies announce upcoming native Ubuntu support for Qualcomm’s flagship laptop silicon, delivering multi-day battery life, 80 TOPS NPU acceleration, and seamless cloud-to-edge agentic Hey Hi (AI) capabilities for developers and enterprises. * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Want_to_try_Ubuntu’s_Hey_Hi_(AI)_dictation_feature?_Here’s how [Ed: Voice dictation is 80s or 90s tech; now they call it "hey hi" for hype and waste energy]⠀⇛ Ubuntu’s new AI-powered dictation tool Myna isn’t officially ready, but you can give it an early test. Canonical has added the Myna orchestrator snap and a pair of speech-recognition Hey Hi (AI) models to the Snap Store recently, and made its new desktop Myna Settings tool available to test from a PPA. Ubuntu 26.10 also comes with another component preinstalled, as the gnome-shell-ubuntu-extensions package has a GNOME Shell extension that triggers an on-screen HUD when the Myna local Hey Hi (AI) speech-to-text tech is listening or transcribing. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Fine_tune_your_own_custom_LLM_with_Canonical_Charmed_Kubeflow and_Feast⠀⇛ “The most important thing is to find something that you like and that you feel comfortable with.

Gravity Linux is a New Distro for Apple Silicon — Contrary to what you might expect of a newly launched Linux distribution, Gravity Linux has a long-term goal of not existing as a distro. The project is a Fedora Remix for Apple Silicon Macs that ships with KDE Plasma on Wayland as the default desktop. Everything in it is built through clean-room reverse engineering, ensuring that no Apple source code, disassembly, or leaked technical information makes its way into the code for this project. Two developers, Cody Ho and Niklas Sheth, are the main driving forces behind this, forking it from Asahi Linux with a shared goal of bringing Linux to Apple Silicon.

The bigger draw is MX Tools, a suite of in-house utilities that turn tedious jobs into a few clicks. Three of them, specifically, are stuff I'd love to see more often in other distros. MX Snapshot Turn your running system into a bootable ISO Alpine Linux open on a laptop. fastfetch in the Pixel terminal reporting Debian GNU Linux 13 trixie on aarch64 with 7.39 GiB of memory.

SSH ProxyJump to Debian Server Side profile of a Microsoft Surface Go running CachyOS Linux. Side profile of a locked Microsoft Surface Go running CachyOS Linux Most Linux distributions treat backups and custom spins as two separate problems, and both usually involve a trip to the terminal. MX Snapshot handles both in a single graphical tool that turns the system you are currently running into a bootable ISO image. Everything you have installed, configured, and tweaked gets packaged into a live system that you can write to a USB drive, boot on another machine, and install from, since the MX installer comes along with it. The tool offers two modes for very different needs. The first preserves user accounts and personal data, making the resulting ISO a portable copy of your setup that can serve as a recovery disk or a way to move to new hardware. The second resets accounts and strips personal information, producing a clean image you can hand to friends, deploy on a bunch of computers, or share as your own respin. Before building, you can exclude common folders such as Downloads, Music, or Videos to keep the image lean, pick a compression method that trades build speed against file size, and have checksums generated automatically.

While OpenShift manages container builds on-cluster, developers can also use the standalone Source-to-Image (S2I) CLI to build and test OpenJDK container images locally before deploying them. The procedures in this guide apply to Red Bait OpenShift 4 and current releases of the Red Bait build of OpenJDK. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Bringing_enterprise_Linux_to_the_robotics_frontier: ROS2_adds_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_as_a_tier-1_supported_platform⠀⇛ To power this next generation of intelligent systems, we’re pleased that Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is now supported by Robot Operating System (ROS2) as a tier-1 platform. As a tier-1 platform for ROS2, the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform brings enterprise-grade security, mission- critical lifecycle stability, and broad hardware enablement directly to the global robotics community. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Unify_VMs_and_containers_with_Everpure_Cloud_on Azure_Red_Hat_OpenShift⠀⇛ Everpure Cloud is now available on Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift to help solve this problem. By combining Microsoft and Red Hat’s fully managed application platform with Everpure’s intelligent data engine, enterprise teams can unlock a faster, more cost-effective way to run modern containerized applications and traditional virtual machines together on Microsoft Azure so you can modernize at your own pace without disrupting core operations. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ The_playbook_behind_Red_Hat’s_most_successful OpenShift_deployments⠀⇛ If that sounds familiar, you've run into a gap that doesn't get talked about enough: standing up an application platform is a technology milestone, but developer adoption is an organizational one, and the two rarely happen on the same timeline. We've watched this exact pattern play out across enough organizations to know it isn't a technology problem. It's a sequencing problem.  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ From_incident_insight_to_governed_action_with LogicMonitor_Edwin_AI_and_Red_Hat_Ansible_Automation_Platform [Ed: More slop nonsense, more participation in this pyramid scheme]⠀⇛ Integrating LogicMonitor Edwin AI with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform can help bridge the gap between incident diagnosis and remediation.

Works great on Steam Deck (Playable) and on GNU/Linux with Proton. The game starts with your uncle gifting you a music sequencer, and then asks you to create a ringtone with it. You plug your tiger keyboard (not a musical cat toy) and start making music with them. The music sequencer is your main producing tool allows you to set some inputs, pick the notes you want to play from each input and at which time they should play. It also allows you to set beats per minute, and the key of the composition. Once you are satisfied, you can save it to a cassette tape. The initial keyboard, for a toy, it is quite robust, it can mimic a piano, an organ, it also makes meows and engine revving sounds. There is a limit of 3 notes input at a time to create chords. By clicking on it, you can go to an interface that let you play it, or tweak its settings (which kind of sound you want it to make). But you don’t need to play the instrument, the sequencer will take care of that. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ New_Steam_Games_with_Native_GNU/Linux_Builds,_including Dreamcards_and_I.T._Never_Ends_-_2026-08-19_Edition⠀⇛ Oh my God we are so late with this one, but since there were quite a few good games released in that week, better late than never! Between 2026-08-12 and 2026-08-19 there were 131 New Steam games released with Native GNU/Linux builds. For reference, during the same time, there were 1017 games released for backdoored Windows on Steam, so the GNU/Linux versions represent about 12.9 % of total released titles. In that week, I would have chosen to highlight Dreamcards. It’s a card game where card interactions generate emergent story beats. It gives rise to a bunch of unexpected combos, and it has a Palworld meets Slay the Spire vibes! Honarable mention to I.T. Never Ends, framing a the desk-job around absurd IT tickets, with GLaDOS-tier voice acting and a lot of secrets to uncover.

O.B.O.L is a new release that sees you coin flip for your life against a mysterious old man. For fans of compact single-player physiological horrors, this is one for you. And if you love Native Linux games - it's got you supported too. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Funny_physics_platformer_Barely_Breathing_adds_a_little Linux_Easter_Egg_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Barely Breathing is an upcoming fishy physics platformer that looks really funny, with a demo available - and they just added a little Linux Easter Egg. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Counter-Strike_2_adds_an_intense_fast-paced_3v3_'Rush' game_mode_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ This new Rush mode might be my favourite way to play Counter- Strike 2, giving you a faster-paced experience with shorter matches.

Originally written about here on GamingOnLinux back in earlier September, it's improving rapidly. In Respect the Horde, survival is about using the horde's predictable behaviour against it. Build barriers to redirect its path, lure zombies where you want them, and funnel entire crowds into barbed wire, fire and deadly traps.

It has other benefits, of course, with extensive customization options enabled by GNOME extensions, and a generally robust set of software tools bundled in. However, all of that has come at the cost of performance. Ubuntu now requires at least 6GB of RAM, and on my 8-year-old laptop, things do feel like they could be smoother. This is still a capable laptop with 16GB of RAM, and I'm not saying GNOME is unusable by any means, but it could use a slight performance bump. Plus, there are other aspects I don't love about GNOME that make things feel slower by nature of being more cumbersome. I don't really like the full-screen app launcher and search UI, the unified system menu makes it feel like it takes longer to change certain settings, and so on. Plus, the lack of customization options with GNOME extensions is a problem as those extensions can cause stability issues when GNOME gets updated.

Since the kernel is not a small program, those builds can take a fair amount of time, even on a fast machine. The kernel also has a complex build system; it is probably fair to say that few developers truly understand it, and fewer still are willing to try to improve it. Lorenzo Stoakes, armed with LLM- based assistance, decided to give it a try, though, and has managed to reduce the time it takes to build a kernel — and not by a small amount. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Adding_BPF_to_blk-iocost⠀⇛ The scheduling of block I/O requests has long been a challenge for operating-system kernels. For many years, the performance characteristics of rotating drives meant that putting considerable resources into request ordering was worthwhile. In a world with fast, solid-state drives, scheduling is more concerned with enforcing fairness between competing users while being fast enough to keep up with drives that can perform millions of I/O operations per second. The blk-iocost I/O controller was designed for the solid-state world and generally performs well, but there is always a desire to do better. This patch series from Tao Cui aims to make blk-iocost more flexible by enabling the loading of a BPF program to make cost decisions. The blk-iocost controller was first covered here in 2019, when it was still known as "io.weight"; it was revisited in 2024. To summarize, it works by allocating a percentage of a block device's bandwidth to each control group. Every requested I/ O operation is then evaluated and an associated cost, expressed in terms of how much of the device's time the operation is expected to take, is assigned. Each device has a virtual clock ("vtime"), as does each control group; executing an I/O operation advances the requesting group's vtime by the assigned cost. Operations are only dispatched to the device when the group's vtime is far enough behind the drive's vtime to accommodate them. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Lessons_learned_as_the_Debian_Project_Leader⠀⇛ What is it like to be a Debian Project Leader (DPL), or a former one?

At the recent MiniDebConf in Winterthur, Switzerland, Tille spoke about what he learned while serving as DPL, some of the initiatives he led, mistakes that he made, and his thoughts on the general resolution (GR) on large language model (LLM) usage in Debian. I did not have the opportunity to attend the MiniDebConf in person, but I watched the video of the session shortly afterward. The slides are also available, as are the slides and videos for many of Tille's talks back to 2001. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ PostgreSQL_19's_"scary_patch_contest"⠀⇛ PostgreSQL 19 was expected to be released in September, in keeping with the database project's longstanding tradition of a major release every year. However, some late-breaking concerns about several of the features slated for inclusion has some developers worried about the quality of the release. On August 25, PostgreSQL contributor Robert Haas sent an email with the subject ""scary patch contest"" about several patches that have required an unusually large number of bug fixes leading up to the release, which has raised questions about their readiness for a stable release. One of the patches has been reverted, but several are still under heavy revision, and an extra beta release has been slotted in to allow for additional testing. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Proprietary / Vendor Lock-in / Malware⠀➾ # ⚓ TechSpot ☛ This_guy_has_spent_two_years_hunting_fake_job listings_on_LinkedIn,_and_found_60,000_of_them_|_TechSpot⠀⇛ The fraud is not limited to obvious fake accounts. Some scammers create batches of recruiter profiles using copied photos and similar account details. o § Security⠀➾ # § Confidentiality⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Ways_to_encrypt_data_on_servers⠀⇛ At the 2026 edition of FOSSY, Romeo Solano gave a fast-paced, humorous presentation on what could have been a rather boring topic: server encryption. There are a number of threats that we face in today's world, from criminals, government overreach, espionage, and more, that can be thwarted with encryption. But encrypting data on a system that may live elsewhere, without any access to its keyboard at boot time, is rather more difficult than encrypting the disk of a laptop. Solano described the problems and gave a tour of some of the solutions in the talk. The goal of the talk was to show attendees how to encrypt the data on their servers and to describe why they should do so. Encrypting the data at rest requires that the data be decrypted when the server is running, so he would be talking about how to do that at boot time, no matter whether the server was in the same room, another room in the house, or elsewhere on the globe. ""You'll be able to accomplish this whether or not you can trust your hosting provider to lend you a helping hand."" The password prompt used when logging into a computer does ""about as good a job at preventing access to your files"" as a speed limit sign does to prevent speeding, Solano said. On the other hand, the disk-encryption- password prompt, ""which looks incredibly similar but is slightly different"", does actually prevent file access unless the decryption key is provided.

⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 24, 2026 * § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ wolfSSL_adds_post-quantum_algorithms_and_AURIX TC4xx_support_alongside_wolfIP⠀⇛ wolfSSL has detailed several embedded security updates covering deterministic networking, post-quantum cryptography and automotive hardware security. The updates include the wolfIP TCP/IP stack, NIST-validated post-quantum algorithms in wolfCrypt, native Falcon and FrodoKEM implementations, and wolfHSM support for Infineon’s AURIX TC4xx family. o ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ 16-TOPS_Hey_Hi_(AI)_SBC_with_SATA_3.0_runs_on octa-core_Sophgo_BM1688⠀⇛ Orange Pi has published hardware details for the OrangePi O1, a 90 × 70mm SBC based on the Sophgo BM1688 processor. It pairs eight Arm Cortex-A53 cores with a RISC-V C906 coprocessor and a 16-TOPS INT8 TPU, along with up to 16GB of LPDDR4/LPDDR4X memory. o ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Fanless_OnLogic_controllers_pair_Core_Ultra_with CODESYS_and_fieldbus_expansion⠀⇛ OnLogic has added two SoftPLC-oriented industrial computers built around Intel Core Ultra processors and pre-configured CODESYS environments. The Helix 521-PLC targets low-profile deployments, while the larger Helix 524-PLC adds PCIe expansion with an available Hilscher netX fieldbus interface for industrial networking and real-time control applications. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Mini’s_Infotainment_System_And_The_Joys_Of Aftermarket_Car_Parts⠀⇛ Long story short, the device was mostly compatible aside from a connector wired wrongly and creating a short. This was fixed, but then the loosely fitted display toppled off during a test drive and broke, so a replacement screen was ordered. This screen arrived without requisite factory programming, so [Arkandas] embarked on a long reverse-engineering session. * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ Arduino ☛ Making_retail_smarter:_build_context-aware_experiences with_the_Arduino®_VENTUNO™_Q_board⠀⇛ You step into a fitting room carrying two jackets and a pair of trousers. You like each piece, but you are not sure they work together – and which jacket is better. Normally, you would take a photo, message a friend, or walk back outside to ask a store assistant. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Forget_Trees,_Add_Fins_To_Your_3D_Prints_Instead⠀⇛ Perhaps one of the most contentious issues in 3D printing is that of supports, both because they’re an uncomfortable reminder of how gravity affects our prints and because the very idea of there being ‘one right way’ is bound to get you into some spirited discussions. That said, [Matthew Trahan] figured that neither regular grid supports nor organic tree supports are the answer here, and that the better answer is found in fins. o ⚓ [Old] William Pennings ☛ Balancing_cube⠀⇛ This cube manages to balance itself on a corner, and can simultaneously rotate around its axis in a controlled manner. It does so using clever controls and a set of three reaction wheels. The original idea for this device comes from researchers at ETH Zürich, who demonstrate their “Cubli” in this video. Its design has been improved in some ways in later years. Notably, Bobrow et al (University of São Paulo) introduce an improved controls concept, reducing the number of required IMUs (inertial measurement units) to just one instead of six. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Audio_Spectrum_Analyzer_On_An_ESP32_Display_Board⠀⇛ A slick spectrum analyzer used to be the kind of thing that would have been tricky to include in a DIY project, but as [Mirko “mircemk” Pavleski] demonstrates, a modern microcontroller like the ESP32 can handle the task with nothing more than a display panel and a few passives. * § Mobile System s/ Android⠀➾ o ⚓ Android Police ☛ I_replaced_my_Wi-Fi_extender_with_an_old_Android phone_after_years_of_dead_zones⠀⇛ I turned my old Honor phone into a full-time hotspot. I inserted a prepaid SIM card, subscribed to the appropriate data plan, and kept the phone plugged into its own electrical outlet. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2374 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/24/Linux_PataOS_Debian_based_distribution_for_engineering_and_desi.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/24/Linux_PataOS_Debian_based_distribution_for_engineering_and_desi.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Linux PataOS – Debian-based distribution for engineering and design⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Debian⦈_ Quoting: Linux PataOS - Debian-based distribution for engineering and design - LinuxLinks — Linux PataOS is a desktop Linux distribution based on Debian and built around the Cinnamon desktop environment.

You fill out a form, hand it over to some future person, and hope you included enough detail. That made sense when the tracker was mostly a queue, but now the tracker can be somewhat sentient and leverage tools. It can look at the deployment history, fetch a trace, attempt a reproduction, and ask a question or two. The ticket does not have to be a flawless, one-time instruction. It can be a place where the reporter, the system, and whoever is doing the work improve their understanding together. * ⚓ Kyle Reddoch ☛ When_MSPs_Should_Push_Back_on_Client_IT_and_Security Requests⠀⇛ The distinction matters because a support request often arrives with a proposed solution already attached. An employee cannot install something, so the request is to make everyone a local administrator. A business application stops working, so the request is to disable endpoint protection. A departing employee’s mailbox needs to remain accessible, so someone asks to keep using that person’s credentials. Each request starts with a legitimate need. The proposed change can still create unnecessary access, weaken accountability, or remove a control from far more of the environment than the problem requires. * ⚓ Joe Wilson ☛ TIL:_Your_internal_npm_package_name_is_a_loaded_gun⠀⇛ At some point a developer made a local package with that name. Monorepo, internal registry, some npm link they forgot about, whatever. The app’s package.json still asks for it by name. And npm install doesn’t care where you meant that package to come from. It has a name and a version range, and it asks a registry. Misconfigured pipeline, loose .npmrc, a fresh CI runner nobody set up right — npm shrugs and goes to the public registry: “Got anything called chartjs-plugin-colors?” Today the answer is “no.” That’s the whole defense. * ⚓ Loris Cro ☛ The_Zig_Journey_|_Loris_Cro's_Blog⠀⇛ Coincidentally, this post might also help answer some questions from people who don’t really understand what is the point of Zig in light of {Go, Rust, Modula-2, Mojo, LLMs, …}. * ⚓ ACM ☛ Fifty_Years_of_Open_Source_Software_Supply_Chain_Security:_For decades,_software_reuse_was_only_a_lofty_goal._Now_it's_very_real.: Queue:_Vol_23,_No_1⠀⇛ As another example, developers in China often look for copies of Xcode on file-sharing sites hosted in China, which are faster to download. In 2015, security researchers discovered that attackers had posted a modified copy of Xcode and worked to make it the top Chinese-language search result for "Xcode download." This version, which researchers named XcodeGhost, had been nefariously altered to add malicious code to every iOS app it built. It was downloaded and used by many app developers, and the injected malware made it into at least two widely used apps.34 This is a software supply chain attack on the distribution mechanism rather than the original software, but, once again, it is not targeting open source software. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Ruby ☛ Ruby_3.4.11_Released⠀⇛ Ruby 3.4.11 has been released.

The researchers measured individual jumps from video and excluded short, continuous movements called “skitters”. Same event, different measurements. The dictionary should therefore explain that each recorded distance describes an individual jump and that skitters were excluded, with a link to the collection notes. Adding individual jump lengths does not generally reproduce the competition’s straight-line score. Someone analysing the data, including an AI agent, needs to know that distinction. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Mike_Gabriel:_Looking_for_Golang_+_Fullstack_Developer_with interest_in_Civic_Tech⠀⇛ § Who?

They have been laying the groundwork for this since Snapdragon Summit 2025, and the push today is toward getting drivers into mainline rather than shipping out-of-tree patches that only a handful of people can maintain. * ⚓ Qualcomm_is_officially_working_on_Linux_support_for_X2_ARM_laptops⠀⇛ Qualcomm flew us out to Snapdragon Summit 2026 for a hands-on experience with the all-new, cutting-edge Googlebooks and Microsoft Surface laptops. And although the event has been relatively predictable, Wednesday's briefing closed out with a big surprise—Qualcomm is officially working to support Linux on Snapdragon X2 laptops, brands like ASUS have already committed to offer Linux-flavored versions of their X2-powered devices, and a developer preview is available today for those with the hardware to test it. As explained on the Qualcomm blog, Debian 13 is currently being utilized as the reference and testing environment for Linux on Snapdragon X2 hardware. Foundational Debian support will be complete by the end of 2026, while Ubuntu certification, which should be the more common choice among laptop manufacturers, is planned for early 2027. * ⚓ Qualcomm_goes_official_with_Snapdragon_X_laptop_Linux_support⠀⇛ It’s taken a couple decades, but something big has finally started happening for how we get computing done on laptops. After years of trying to be tiny desktop computers, running the same kind of chips that were never really designed for power efficiency, laptops began broadly embracing RISC computing — including models built around Qualcomm Snapdragon chips like the X series. This week at Qualcomm’s annual Snapdragon Summit, the company is sharing news of a big new upgrade for such models that power users are really going to love. For all the speed and battery life they offer, Snapdragon laptops have had at least one big blind spot: Linux. Even though different Snapdragon chips have been powering Android (with its deep Linux roots) devices for ages, initial Snapdragon X laptops lacked support for mainstream Linux distros. As part of today’s PC keynote, Qualcomm shares that Linux is becoming available on Snapdragon laptops. We’re getting started with Debian support, which is set to arrive before the end of the year. * ⚓ Qualcomm_is_helping_Linux_run_better_on_Snapdragon_X2_laptops_with_an Early_Developer_Preview⠀⇛ Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: If you own a Snapdragon X2 device but aren't too pleased with its current state on Linux, I have excellent news. Since Snapdragon Summit 2025, Qualcomm has been hard at work settling things in the world of FOSS. Now, the company is ready to show off its results with an Early Developer Preview. * ⚓ Qualcomm_will_finally_support_Linux_on_Snapdragon_X2_chips.⠀⇛ “For many years developers have asked us for one thing, Linux on Snapdragon. We heard you,” says Kedar Kondap, SVP and general manager of compute and gaming at Qualcomm. Speaking at Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit, Kondap says Linux support with Debian will be available “at the end of this year” for Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon X2 series of chips. Qualcomm is upstreaming core drivers, including for its Hexagon NPU and Adreno GPU. Ubuntu support is also coming in the first half of 2027. Android Headlines: * ⚓ After_much_waiting,_Snapdragon_X2_chips_will_finally_support_Linux⠀⇛ Qualcomm and ASUS have officially announced upcoming support for Snapdragon X2 chipsets, with support coming first to Linux Debian distros sometime later in 2026, and moving to Ubuntu in the first half of 2027. ⢀⡤⣤⢠⣤⣄⣀⣄⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠈⠛⠛⠘⠋⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⡀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀ ⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣶⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀ ⢸⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⣲⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⡖⣲⣶⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣶⣖⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠀ ⢸⠀⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠿⠿⠿⠷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠇⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢸⣶⣶⢶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⢶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠀ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⢸⠀⣤⣠⣤⣠⣠⣠⣀⣀⣠⣠⣤⣄⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⣠⣀⣀⣠⣀⣤⣄⣠⣤⣀⣤⣤⣄⣠⣤⣀⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀ ⢸⠀⣍⣉⣉⣉⣍⠉⠉⠉⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⣭⣭⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠈⠉⠁⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⢸⣀⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣇⣉⣉⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀ ⢸⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣶⣾⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⢀⡀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⢀⣀⣀⡀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⡀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⢀⣀⣀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀ ⠘⠛⣛⡻⡋⡛⠛⡻⠛⠙⠃⣛⠛⠛⠛⡛⠙⢛⠛⠃⠛⠛⢛⡛⢛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠙⠛⠃⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠚⠛⠛⠹⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠋⠛⠛⠛⠛⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠙⠛⠁⠀⠀ ⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠓⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3003 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/24/RakuOS_hybrid_atomic_Fedora_based_distribution.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/24/RakuOS_hybrid_atomic_Fedora_based_distribution.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ RakuOS – hybrid atomic Fedora-based distribution⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇RakuOS⦈_ Quoting: RakuOS - hybrid atomic Fedora-based distribution - LinuxLinks — RakuOS is a Fedora-based hybrid atomic Linux distribution. Its core operating system is delivered as an immutable bootc OCI image, with system updates applied transactionally so an update either completes as a whole or leaves the existing system intact. Previous system images can be rolled back when necessary. RakuOS differs from many immutable distributions by providing a persistent overlay on /usr, allowing native RPM packages to be installed without rebuilding the base image. This combines an image- based system with much of the package-management flexibility of a conventional distribution. RakuOS describes itself as an early- development project and warns that its persistent overlay technology remains experimental. This is free and open source software.

I think that the point of these statements is shaping social norms and not micro- managing developer workflows. They should be about signalling what kind of behavior we want, and what kind we reject. This proposal does not go into detail about the many problems that LLM have caused to society, workers, the environment.

Espressif says that it's "not yet recommended for production use," but the point is that it works. That also hasn't stopped the community from iterating fast. One port sees Linux 6.18 running in supervisor mode, complete with working drivers for practically all of the hardware. There's another, based on Linux 7.1, that supports an 800x480 LCD panel connected, capable of showing a console. Being able to plug in a display, use wired Ethernet, and use a mouse and keyboard sound a lot more akin to an SBC than a microcontroller.

Linuxize ☛ Fix_the_NO_PUBKEY_GPG_Error_on_apt_update⠀⇛ Fix the apt NO_PUBKEY error on Ubuntu and Debian by installing a verified repository signing key under /etc/apt/keyrings and using signed-by. * ⚓ dwaves.de ☛ gnu_linux_debian13_as_vm_via_hyper-v_(yes_argh_sorry)_howto install_and_start_integration_services_aka_kv-kvp-daemon.service_hv-vss- daemon.service⠀⇛ * ⚓ Data Swamp ☛ Writing_an_IPFS_publishing_service⠀⇛ I started playing with IPFS because I wanted a different way of publishing data over the Internet. My first experiments with IPFS and a private swarm showed that the technology is useful, but the user experience is bad. It is easy to get an IPFS node running, but hard to make it useful in real world. * ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ Make_your_website_printable_-_a_short_guide⠀⇛ Third is for preservation of information. Sometimes, we want to preserve digital information by printing it out and storing it somewhere. If the information is only on a website, the print styles will have a big impact on how well they can be preserved. These are the top three that come to my mind but there’s likely way more. * ⚓ DJ Adams ☛ Making_OAuth_2.0_auth_code_flows_work_between_containers_and their_host_OS⠀⇛ Three-legged OAuth 2.0 flows that involve the generation of URLs to authenticate with, and where there's a subsequent return to the local context, are not well suited to container / host environments where the OAuth flow is initiated from a process in the container but the browser used runs on the host OS. Here's one way of solving this. The example here relates to using the jl CLI, the command line tool for Joule Studio. * § Kernel Space / File Systems / Virtualization⠀➾ o ⚓ Klara ☛ Biggest_ZFS_Misconfigurations_and_How_to_Fix_Them:_Part 1⠀⇛ ZFS configuration decisions can affect storage performance for years, and some cannot be changed without rebuilding the pool. Learn how to identify and fix common misconfigurations involving ashift, recordsize, vdev layout, dedup, and pool capacity. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3877 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/24/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/24/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 24, 2026 * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Graham Cluley ☛ Smashing_Security_podcast_#486:_Vibe-coded_shops, and_hackable_Flock_cameras⠀⇛ Meanwhile, a hacker collective backed a truck into one of the license-plate-reading Flock safety cameras popping up on American street corners, and took a very close look inside. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Release_GCompris_26.2⠀⇛ Today we are releasing GCompris version 26.2.

Background system processes are checking in with servers, applications are on the hunt for new updates, and other devices on the network are signaling that they are up. Want to know what this conversation is about? Just use the following tools to know what’s under the hood. Don’t get intimidated, as these raw data packets are constantly flying over the network. However, make sure you run these commands on your own PC (or network), or on any system you’re authorized to access. Everyone should know about these tools not because they have to monitor their networks all the time, but some days you just wanna check which smart devices are up on your network. Or, if you feel something is suspicious, you can check which ports are open or what data packets are moving over your network. You don’t need to remember them all, but it can be helpful if you need them.
