OpenSUSE ☛ Google Summer of Code mentor summit 2026
It is an energizing unconference where the diversity of open source can be touched. This is a unique occasion to share what works (and what doesn’t) across diverse communities for mentoring new contributors, but not only.

Medium ☛ Omarchy 4.5 Makes BIG Changes
DHH’s controversy-riddled Linux distro, Omarchy, has been updated to version 4.5 with some interesting (and weird) changes. While I stand by my concerns about Omarchy, I’m watching this distribution with great interest and fascination.
It’s not every day that a distro raises the sort of funds or gets the sort of attention that Omarchy has.
This update is exciting, interesting and odd. All at once.

OMG Ubuntu ☛ Running Android apps on Ubuntu is now surprisingly easy
Ubuntu doesn’t run Android apps and games natively, but Waydroid is an open-source effort that lets you use them – and it’s really easy to setup on Ubuntu. Earlier this year, Waydroid was finally packaged in Debian. That puts it a simple apt install away on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and later. No need to add a PPA, find a third-party package or run scripts from Reddit threads. If there’s an Android app or game you’d like to be able to use on your desktop, Waydroid gives you the means to do it.
