ZDNET — The Linux community (including myself) has been saying it for years: This is the year of the Linux desktop. In some instances (especially in those early days), it was nothing more than wishful thinking. Over the past few years, however, it’s begun to look more and more like a real possibility.

First up, a question. When you want to use Caddy from the distribution's repo, it can't really be Ubuntu because it's old and crusty. We talk through a few options, but want to hear from you! Fedora? Arch? Alpine? What do you recommend? Then, three months of pent up rage, aggression, worry and ethical concerns in and around Hey Hi (AI) and LLMs. This is a bit of a ride, and it has our usual meandering vibe to it, but it brings up so many good questions that there aren't any good answers to. Underneath it all, yes, we know that there are environmental issues as well as ethical ones, but neither of those are stopping many from using the technology. So where do we go from here? Those are the questions and thoughts we get into. And finally, Internet Explorer! Thought it was dead? Think again. It's still a zombie, but even that will come to and end in a couple of years. We use this as a springboard to talk about Orion and Servo, and take a few shots at Surveillance Giant Google because they deserve it ;) Overall, a great show, if a little long, but a good time was had which means we're just gonna keep doing it over and over again. Hope you enjoy! * ⚓ Late_Night_Linux_–_Episode_405⠀⇛ What GNU/Linux and open source will look like in 10 years, the aspects of GNU/Linux that got us hooked all those years ago, our happiest and most miserable experiences of converting people, and how we teach kids about privacy and security. * ⚓ Kodsnack ☛ Kodsnack_722_-_Not_here_for_the_syntax,_with_Koushik Dasika⠀⇛ Fredrik talks to Koushik Dasika about working with Elixir. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 275 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/29/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software_and_Many_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/29/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software_and_Many_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Best Free and Open Source Software, and Many More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Pomodoro_timer⦈_ * ⚓ Ketchup_-_native_Pomodoro_timer_for_KDE⠀⇛ Ketchup is a native Pomodoro timer designed for KDE. It implements the familiar productivity technique of alternating periods of concentrated work with regular breaks, while keeping the interface and configuration intentionally straightforward. The application is aimed at people who want a small dedicated timer rather than a broader project-management or task-tracking system. Focus and break durations are configurable, so users are not restricted to the traditional Pomodoro timings. Ketchup can also move directly to the next period after an alarm is dismissed, reducing the need to keep returning to the application between sessions. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ AIS-catcher_-_versatile_AIS_receiver_for_software-defined_radio⠀⇛ It turns VHF AIS transmissions into decoded vessel information that can be viewed locally, recorded or forwarded to other applications and services. The software is useful for hobby receiving stations, maritime research, coverage analysis and Raspberry Pi installations. It only receives radio traffic and is explicitly intended for research and educational use rather than navigation or other safety-critical applications. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Ratio_-_WCAG_colour_contrast_checker⠀⇛ Ratio is a graphical colour-contrast validation tool intended for designers, developers and anyone checking an interface for accessibility problems. It applies the contrast calculations defined by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines rather than relying on subjective visual judgement. The program focuses on three specific WCAG success criteria. These cover the contrast of normal text, the visibility of non- text interface components and the appearance of keyboard focus indicators. This makes Ratio useful when choosing foreground and background colours for websites, applications and other interfaces where sufficient visual distinction matters. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ syslog-ng_-_collect,_process_and_route_log_data⠀⇛ It extends the traditional syslog model into a general-purpose logging pipeline capable of accepting structured and unstructured input, extracting useful information and delivering the resulting messages to a wide variety of destinations. Administrators can construct processing paths to centralise logs from multiple hosts, normalise heterogeneous messages and forward selected data to storage or downstream analysis systems. Its configuration language allows sources, transformations and destinations to be combined into pipelines appropriate for anything from a single Linux machine to larger centralised logging installations. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ LettersFall_110%_-_educational_falling-letter_word_puzzle⠀⇛ LettersFall 110% is an educational word puzzle game that combines falling-block mechanics with English spelling. Individual letters descend into the play area and the player must assemble them into correctly spelled words before the accumulating letters become unmanageable. Its basic idea borrows from two familiar styles of game: the pressure of falling-block puzzles and the word-building challenge of board games such as Scrabble. The emphasis is on American English spelling, with a large bundled dictionary giving players a substantial vocabulary to work with. Difficulty and game modes can be changed to provide different levels of challenge. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ HexPatch_-_binary_patcher_and_editor_with_TUI⠀⇛ Rather than treating binaries solely as streams of bytes, the program brings architecture-aware analysis and patching tools into the same keyboard-driven interface. This makes it particularly relevant to reverse engineering, vulnerability research, binary modification and debugging, while remaining usable from a Linux terminal or remote shell session. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Inscriptions_-_elegant_DeepL_translation_client⠀⇛ Inscriptions is a graphical translation application built around the DeepL service. Rather than using a web browser each time text needs translating, it provides a focused desktop interface for sending text to DeepL and displaying the resulting translation. A DeepL API key is required, and the program supports both free and paid API accounts. Its available source and target languages therefore follow those offered by DeepL. Inscriptions deliberately keeps its own scope narrow, concentrating on making routine text translation quick and uncomplicated rather than trying to become a broader language-learning suite. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Minisforum_Says_Disable_Four_of_the_MS-R1's_12_CPU_Cores_-_Is_Linux Scheduling_Them_Properly?⠀⇛ Modern Linux supports heterogeneous processors and knows that individual CPU cores can have very different performance capabilities. Its scheduler is supposed to take those differences into account. If Linux understands the MS-R1’s CPU topology properly, keeping all 12 cores enabled should give us the best of both worlds: demanding work should gravitate towards the eight Cortex-A720 cores, while the four Cortex-A520 cores remain available when extra parallelism is genuinely useful. That’s what I’m going to test. * ⚓ vsFetch_-_graphical_Linux_system_information_viewer⠀⇛ vsFetch is a graphical system information utility inspired by Fastfetch but designed around a GTK desktop window rather than textual command-line output. It acts as an attractive “About This Computer” panel, combining hardware information with details about the current desktop environment, shell, terminal and development tools. The program is highly customisable, with alternate layouts, theme inheritance and decorative background effects, so it can serve both as a practical system profiler and as a personalised desktop information display. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Bing-r_-_desktop_IPTV_and_media_player⠀⇛ Bing-r is a desktop IPTV and media application for Linux. It is designed for people who already have legitimate playlist sources and want a native application for organising, browsing and playing live television and other streamed media. The program imports M3U and M3U8 playlists from local files or remote URLs and builds a local media library from their contents. Channels can then be browsed and filtered instead of forcing users to work directly with large playlist files. Bing- r does not provide television channels, subscriptions or copyrighted media itself. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ vat_-_render_vector_graphics_in_your_terminal⠀⇛ vat is a focused command-line utility for viewing vector artwork without opening a conventional graphical image viewer. It takes vector graphics and rasterises them for display directly inside a terminal supporting the Kitty graphics protocol. Its supported inputs make it particularly interesting to developers working with web, Android and Jetpack Compose graphics, as the same tool can inspect SVG files, Android Vector Drawables and Compose ImageVectors. Compatible terminal emulators include Kitty, Ghostty and WezTerm. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ 7_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Chemical_Structure_Drawing_Tools⠀⇛ The software is principally aimed at chemists, biochemists, researchers and laboratory scientists, but it is equally relevant to university lecturers, teachers and students studying chemistry or related subjects. Scientific authors can use these tools to prepare figures for papers, reports and teaching material, while developers and researchers working with chemical databases may find their import and export capabilities particularly useful. They can also be valuable to anyone who regularly needs to illustrate molecules or chemical reactions without relying on proprietary chemistry software. Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion here. * ⚓ Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Alternatives_to_Adobe_Connect⠀⇛ Hosts can prepare reusable virtual rooms, arrange presentations and interactive tools in different layouts, run polls and breakout sessions, and record what happens. Adobe provides a browser client for Linux, although there is no Linux desktop application. Connect remains proprietary, paid software. The open source alternatives approach the job from different angles. Some are built for teaching, while others are better suited to webinars or everyday meetings. They can be hosted on Linux and used from a Linux browser. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion here. * ⚓ dz6_-_Vim-inspired_terminal_hex_editor⠀⇛ dz6 is a terminal-based hex editor inspired by Vim and designed for fast, keyboard-driven work with binary files. It fits workflows such as reverse engineering, malware analysis, forensics and low-level programming, where moving quickly between offsets and inspecting raw data matters more than a graphical interface. The program keeps interaction compact and predictable, with commands that will feel familiar to Vim users without trying to reproduce Vim in full. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Era_-_responsive_calendar_for_everyday_planning⠀⇛ Era is a graphical calendar application designed to work equally well for quick everyday scheduling and more involved planning. Its interface is responsive, so it can sit in a small window alongside other applications or expand to provide more space when managing a busy calendar. The application can synchronise events with supported online calendar providers while retaining offline access. Under the hood, its calendar architecture is modular, with Evolution Data Server providing integration with established calendar services. The interface uses GNOME technologies and is intended to work across both conventional desktop displays and smaller form factors. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Colorice_-_wallpaper-driven_Linux_colour_scheme_generator⠀⇛ Instead of performing its colour calculations directly in RGB or HSL, it uses the Oklab colour space, which is designed so that numerical differences correspond more closely to perceived differences between colours. The resulting palettes can then be rendered into configuration files for applications across a Linux desktop. Colorice also offers compatibility with existing pywal templates, making it possible to reuse established customisation setups rather than recreating them from scratch. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ gittuf_-_security_layer_for_Git_repositories⠀⇛ The software is platform-agnostic. Its security controls are not tied to GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket or another forge, allowing developers who can pull a repository to independently verify that changes followed its security policy. gittuf uses cryptographic signatures to authenticate actors and maintains a Reference State Log that records changes to Git references. It can also use in-toto attestations to record repository activity such as code review approvals. This is free and open source software. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠛⠋⠁⢰⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡼⣸⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠁⠉⢰⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢀⣤⣶⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⡀⠀⣸⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢫⠿⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣄⣀⣀⣠⣽⣿⡇⠠⢏⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣜⣖⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣹⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡜⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⢃⣿⣾⣿⣯⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⡻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢋⣾⣿⣿⣛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢋⣠⣬⡉⠛⢛⠛⠟⠛⠛⣋⣩⣔⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⣴⡿⠿⢿⣿⣶⣦⢆⣴⡤⠄⢶⣿⠿⢪⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣶⡋⣼⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣦⣭⣤⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣟⣼⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣬⡉⢉⣉⣉⣩⡴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣟⣈⠛⠻⣿⢇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⣛⢻⣿⣿⠀⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⠴⠇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 648 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/29/Canonical_Ubuntu_Slop_5G_Kubernetes_Ubuntu_27_04_Codename_and_S.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/29/Canonical_Ubuntu_Slop_5G_Kubernetes_Ubuntu_27_04_Codename_and_S.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Canonical/Ubuntu: Slop, 5G, Kubernetes, Ubuntu 27.04 Codename, and Slopfarms Spewing Out Nonsense⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 29, 2026 * ⚓ Canonical ☛ Canonical_announces_the_alpha_release_of_Charmed_OpenShell to_help_secure_autonomous_Hey_Hi_(AI)_agent_fleets [Ed: Bots and slop, dangerous mix cooked up by Microsoft Canonical]⠀⇛ To streamline enterprise deployment and lifecycle management, Canonical is announcing the alpha release of Charmed OpenShell. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Creating_a_private_5G_network⠀⇛ Private 5G has evolved from an experimental concept into critical industrial infrastructure. The success of private 5G hinges on a fundamental architectural shift: replacing heavyweight, legacy virtualization stacks with agile, softwarized infrastructure that slashes operational expenditure (OpEx) and accelerates service delivery. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ How_a_missing_kernel_flag_broke_FIPS-certified_containers_in managed_Kubernetes⠀⇛ A customer building a FedRAMP-compliant deployment found that Ubuntu Pro 22.04 FIPS container images were silently failing on standard, mainline Linux kernels, the kind used by managed Kubernetes environments such as AWS EKS and Fargate. The fix required a patch that preserved FIPS compliance without triggering months of recertification.

It was then that the Dutch government decided that it was time to make plans that would reduce its reliance on software and services that were made or based in the United States. The result of that decision was DAWO, or Digitaal Autonome Werkomgeving Overheid (Digital Autonomous Work Environment for Government in English). And work is underway to bring it to fruition. o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ # ⚓ Michael Geist ☛ Buried_in_Bill_C-39:_The_Enabling_Digital Trade_Act_Brings_Canada_Its_First_Federal_Electronic_Trade Documents_Law⠀⇛ The Act implements the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records, adopted in 2017 to bring international trade into the digital era. Trade has long relied on paper, with documents such as bills of lading and warehouse receipts operating through physical possession. The right to claim the goods, or to transfer that right, has been linked to paper for a reason: an ordinary electronic file can easily be replicated, so a digital version needs a legally reliable way to establish who controls the entitlement and how it passes to someone else. The model law, enacted in a host of countries including the UK, Singapore, France, and Bahrain, seeks to solve that problem by substituting exclusive control for physical possession. Canada committed to promoting compatible legal frameworks on this issue back in April 2021, when it joined the other G7 members in a ministerial declaration. While several provinces have limited carriage-of-goods rules in their electronic commerce statutes, nothing equivalent exists federally. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 998 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/29/FSF_GNU_and_FOSSY_SFC.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/29/FSF_GNU_and_FOSSY_SFC.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ FSF, GNU, and FOSSY (SFC)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 29, 2026 * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ FSF ☛ Our_adventures_at_HOPE_2026⠀⇛ We were at the HOPE 2026 Conference in New York recently, and want to take a moment to thank all the free software supporters who attended our talks and workshops, our meetup, or stopped by our table.

R-Type was a go-to arcade side- scroller shoot’em up where you control a small spaceship, attacking waves of enemies called the Bydo, and at the end of each level you get to fight huge bosses before you can move to the next one. It had novel mechanics letting you have a shield (called the Force) move around independently from your ship (you can detach it anytime from your ship, but it will also make you vulnerable). This is not a bullet hell game (that came later with games in the 90s like DonPachi and DonDonPachi). Here, you have ample time to see bullets coming. Not saying it’s easy though, because a single bullet will kill you. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Space_bullet_heaven_roguelike_Sublight_is_full_of chaotic_battles_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Sublight is a new Early Access release from CODEBREW SOFTWARE LTD, bringing survivor-likes into the space age.

He plans to replace one component at a time, reverse-engineering what MATE already provides until full feature parity has been achieved. Once this is complete, I assume that GhostBSD will default to using Mocka as its default desktop environment. And this is not his first time carrying out such a major change.

This is a branch where various upstream pending patches with Snapdragon laptop improvements are gathered. For the exact contents of the latest kernel from this COPR see this Fedora kernel git-repo fork.Installing the kernel from this COPR adds camera support for various X1 laptop models, adds bluetooth support for the ThinkPad T14s as well various other improvements. Most of these are expected to land in the 7.4 kernel. * ⚓ Minsoo Choo ☛ FreeBSD_Kernel_Frame_Unwinding_with_DWARF_CFI⠀⇛ Under a sponsorship from the FreeBSD Foundation, I’ve been working on FreeBSD userspace/kernel debugging since February 2026. I stopped working on it from May to August due to a heavy course load at my university, but I have now come back to the Foundation and am finishing parts of the project, aiming for the LLVM 24 release in early 2027. * ⚓ Dolphin Publications B V ☛ eBPF_makes_verifying_software_builds_much faster⠀⇛ Japanese researchers have developed a method that detects errors in software build dependencies much faster. To do this, they combine eBPF, a Linux technology that can track events in the kernel, with incremental analysis. In tests, this reduces required analysis time to a fraction of existing methods. An error in a software project’s dependencies can cause a build to produce an incorrect or outdated result. Verifying these relationships is particularly costly for large-scale projects. Researchers at Waseda University believe they can largely overcome this problem with mkcheck2, according to The Register. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Linux_swap_files_just_saved_my_low-RAM_PC_from obsolescence⠀⇛ A low-powered CPU can make some tasks slower, while a small disk drive means you’ll have space for fewer files. But a machine with low memory can be catastrophic: applications hanging or getting closed by the memory manager, or even the whole system coming to a halt. As with many trade-offs, the ideal scenario depends on your personal circumstances. However, using more swap space can give some big wins, and it’s very easy to try out. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1464 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/29/Lunar_Linux_source_based_Linux_distribution.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/29/Lunar_Linux_source_based_Linux_distribution.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Lunar Linux – source-based Linux distribution⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇three_different_house⦈_ Quoting: Lunar Linux - source-based Linux distribution - LinuxLinks — Lunar Linux is a source-based Linux distribution that compiles software locally, allowing users to tailor packages to their system and select build options to suit their requirements.

The cockup followed Microsoft's retirement of its Microsoft 365 Business Premium grant, which gave eligible nonprofits ten free licenses for the productivity suite. Microsoft announced in May 2025 that the grant would not renew after July 1 that year. It offered eligible nonprofits up to 300 free Microsoft 365 Business Basic licenses, alongside discounted pricing for plans including Business Premium. The company urged customers to move users onto another nonprofit plan before cancellation to avoid disruption or data loss. Organizations could also export anything they did not intend to retain in Microsoft 365.

At least, that’s what watching too many horror/comedy films has taught us. Since the real world is rarely as interesting as Hollywood depicts, we’re not going to rely on the dead rising up, and give Halloween a helping hand by creating our own animated skeleton. You can build your own by following along, or adapt the techniques to animate whatever spooky (or not spooky) decorations you like. * ⚓ Hugo Arnal ☛ Rickrolling_with_a_Pharmacy_cross⠀⇛ If you have ever visited France, you might have seen one of these green crosses, bolted onto the building, with bright flashing colors. It is a symbol commonly used to indicate that there is a pharmacy nearby (symbols might vary on a country basis). At this point, it has become a national symbol. The pharmacy crosses can be a true business for some companies, where they make (or resell) crosses and implement their own control software. However, nothing lasts forever, and turns out that's true for pharmacies too! People retire, quit the business and whatnot. Question is: what happens to these crosses? Most of them can cost anywhere from 200 to 2000€ depending on the brand, so it's not unusual that these crosses eventually find themselves on the e-commerce market (ebay, leboncoin...). About two years ago, a strong interest was given to these crosses due to a very well-produced and popular video1 by French youtuber Sylvqin. In this video, he explains the history behind these crosses, goes to buy one and then reverse engineers it. * ⚓ Adafruit ☛ The_newest_ESP32_can_actually_run_Linux,_and_it’s_getting uncomfortably_close_to_a_Raspberry_Pi⠀⇛ Adam Conway, writing at XDA Developers, looks at Espressif’s ESP32-S31 and the reasons it can boot Linux. The chip has two 32-bit RISC-V cores at up to 320 MHz plus a 40 MHz low-power core, a gigabit Ethernet MAC over RGMII, a USB 2.0 High-Speed OTG controller, two SDIO slots, a camera input, and a parallel LCD controller. The part that matters for Linux is in the chip’s data sheet: the cores do Sv32 two-level page-table address translation and implement machine, supervisor and user privilege modes. That is how RISC-V Linux machines work. Espressif published a Linux BSP in August built on Buildroot and U-Boot, with a kernel, device tree, and root file system. It is not recommended for production at this time. Community ports already run Linux 6.18 with most drivers working, and another drives an 800×480 panel to a console. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1671 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/29/OpenSSL_4_0_3_Is_Out_as_Another_Security_Patch_Release_Update_N.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/29/OpenSSL_4_0_3_Is_Out_as_Another_Security_Patch_Release_Update_N.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ OpenSSL 4.0.3 Is Out as Another Security Patch Release, Update Now⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Sep 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇OpenSSL⦈_ Coming a month after OpenSSL 4.0.2, the OpenSSL 4.0.3 release is here to address several important security vulnerabilities, including a use-after-free in X.509 extension cache under concurrent use (CVE-2026-84783), and a potential CPU DoS via O(n^2) fragment reassembly in QUIC (CVE-2026-42772).

According to research by IDC and Lenovo, only 46% of general Hey Hi (AI) and agentic Hey Hi (AI) prototypes reach production, and 82% of organizations need to leverage hybrid or on-premises environments for Hey Hi (AI) workload deployment. Often, the underlying data infrastructure platforms used for prototyping were never designed to meet stringent enterprise requirements such as security, compliance, high availability, reliability and data sovereignty, including the ability to deploy on-premises, air-gapped or in a private cloud, with full control over where data lives. Nevertheless, developers have been attracted to these platforms because of the ease of getting started, the developer experience, and their support for agentic Hey Hi (AI) applications. pgEdge Starfleet closes the Hey Hi (AI) prototype-to-production gap by combining the experience and features developers love with the capabilities and deployment flexibility enterprises demand. * ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ PL/Haskell_v6.0_Released⠀⇛ We are pleased to announce the release of version 6.0 of the PL/Haskell_extension.

The implementation of graphical tools such as the Mageia Control Centre forms an important part of the system, but what is not widely known is how certain applications are packaged compared to other systems, how the inclusion of plugins and software extras for applications is handled, and how dependencies are managed throughout the packaging process.

My fear is not that more things will fail when things are accelerated by LLM-driven development. They will. They have. Such is part of the price of building things in a novel manner. My fear is that "sometimes it just sucks" is going to be more and more the accepted endpoint of investigations. This is sad because LLM-accelerated development can indeed help us solve some of these issues. There are plenty of automated QA workflows that aren't written because of lack of engineering time. The very eval that would get you most of the way to replacing (or even justifying the use of) Jev can be a few prompts away. The tragedy of software engineering today is that we are actively engineering systems where neither the user nor the builder seems to have any interest in checking whether or not there's a body behind the door.

However, most people seem to use Git with just one remote, typically having Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub or GitLab as the only origin. Version control systems before Git relied on a centralized model. For example in Subversion or CVS you could only sync with one single remote server, which was considered the primary host of the source code. Git however is not just a VCS, but a DVCS, for distributed version control system. If you currently use Git with just one single remote as if it was a centralized version control system, now is the time to change that and learn how to add multiple remotes, and configure more flexible git pull and git push rules. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2193 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/29/Red_Hat_Fedora_Lots_of_Slop_Promotion_IBM_s_Policy_Fraud_and_JB.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/29/Red_Hat_Fedora_Lots_of_Slop_Promotion_IBM_s_Policy_Fraud_and_JB.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat/Fedora: Lots of Slop Promotion (IBM's Policy), Fraud, and JBoss⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 29, 2026 * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Why_Red_Hat_is_building_secure_agent_onboarding [Ed: "Buzzwords" for bots that IBM calls "agents"; pure nonsense]⠀⇛ That is the problem we kept hearing from teams building agentic systems.  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Securing_AI_agents_requires_securing_the_systems around_them [Ed: Red Hat selling only slop that day]⠀⇛ Model safeguards remain important, but they cannot carry the entire security burden. Once an agent can act on enterprise systems, security must extend beyond what the model is instructed to do. Organizations also need to control the agent's identity, permissions, access to tools and data, runtime environment, network connections and the infrastructure on which it operates. Securing an AI agent therefore means securing the system in which the agent acts. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Run_decision_models_on_vLLM_and_Red_Bait_Hey_Hi_(AI)_using DiffusionGemma [Ed: Slop frenzy entertained non-stop at IBM's Red Hat ahead of the layoffs]⠀⇛ Why Jev went viral, what "System One" models are good for, and how the vLLM community turned DiffusionGemma, already a Red_Hat AI validated model, into an open, self-hostable decision engine. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_rank_fraud_detection_models_using_custom_cost metrics⠀⇛ When building fraud detection systems, standard training steps often hide expensive failures.

Software is managed through Source Mage’s Sorcery package management system. Packages are known as “spells” and collections of spells as “grimoires”. When a spell is installed, Sorcery downloads the upstream source code and compiles it locally. Users can select build options, dependencies, compiler flags and other settings rather than relying on precompiled binary packages. The distribution does not impose a particular desktop environment. Its main grimoire is restricted to free and open source software, while separate collections are available for software which does not meet those requirements. Source Mage uses its own init-script infrastructure together with simpleinit-msb rather than systemd.

If you've ever tried running the current release of Ubuntu on an old netbook or Optiplex, you've experienced it first hand. Fortunately, that doesn't mean your old devices are e-waste. There are many Linux distros designed to run on a PC that doesn't come anywhere close to meeting Ubuntu's requirements, and they can boot in seconds. These are a few of my favorites.

desktop may have reminded you to set up your keyring. That’s especially likely for KDE Plasma, but it’s not limited to that particular desktop. New Linux users might dismiss the KDE Plasma warning to set up a keyring, even going so far as to leave it without a password.

We shed off some spare pounds and gained more muscle tissue. But it'll soon be winter and like every wintertime we won't be able to exercise much outdoors, as it gets cold, rainy, and there can be gusts. It's not fun and not even as safe. As a result, we'll spend more time indoors. For Tux Machines, this actually means good news because we'll likely post more pages per day. We'll devote more time to the site's curation. Our various contributors in the northern hemisphere also plan improvements for the site's features/accessibility. We need to test some changes to the underlying code, whereupon we can deploy these to the live system and take advantage. Fun times ahead. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Loose_jeans ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣟⣛⣋⠋⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⢶⡷⠾⢿⠿⠷⢶⠶⡤⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⣁⣨⣍⣉⣉⡉⣩⡭⠿⠟⠛⠛⠻⠶⢦⣤⣄⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠂⢴⠤⠍⠉⢑⡒⣶⢶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠦⣤⣀⣉⢉⠙⠛⠛⠻⣷⣶⣦⣤⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣠⣴⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⠤⠤⢄⠀⠀⠉⠉⠛⠛⠚⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⠚⠛⠛⠛⠒⠀⠂⠀⠀⠒⠀⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣶⣀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣟⣻⣛⣿⣛⣛⣛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠛⠛⠐⠚⠒⠢⠄⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣠⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⡀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣤⣄⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠻⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢿⣿⣿⣿⣅⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢣⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠸⡀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠇⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠉⢹⣿⣧⠀⠃⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠫⣀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠛⠛⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⡟⠟⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣰⡷⠀⢾⣿⠛⠋⠉⠻⠛⠀⢀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠙⠒⠂⠮⠥⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣣⣿⠁⠀⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠿⠿⢿⣿⡿⢱⡿⠃⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡼⠄⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠈⠉⠀⠐⠒⠒⠀⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⠋⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣠⣦⣄⣀⡈⠁⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3155 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/29/You_Can_Now_Upgrade_Ubuntu_24_04_LTS_to_Ubuntu_26_04_LTS_Here_s.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/29/You_Can_Now_Upgrade_Ubuntu_24_04_LTS_to_Ubuntu_26_04_LTS_Here_s.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ You Can Now Upgrade Ubuntu 24.04 LTS to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, Here’s How⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Sep 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Ubuntu⦈_ Today, September 29th, 2026, Canonical has (finally) opened the upgrade path for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) users to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (Resolute Raccoon), so here’s how to upgrade your installation.
