Quoting: 5 Reasons Ubuntu Is Not the Best Windows Replacement —
Switching to Linux? Many will say to try out Ubuntu. Thing is, if
you're after a Linux distribution similar to the Windows desktop you
already know, Ubuntu might not be the one you want.

* ⚓ Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Alternatives_to_Progress's_Products_-
LinuxLinks⠀⇛
Progress provides a variety of software products covering data
platforms, data connectivity, digital experience, devops,
infrastructure management and operations, UI/UX tools, and
secure file tools.
Progress Chef is a configuration management tool written in
Ruby and Erlang. It uses a pure-Ruby, domain-specific language
(DSL) for writing system configuration “recipes”. It’s open
source software published under the Apache License 2.0.
However, their other products are published under a proprietary
license.
What if you are looking to move away from proprietary software.
In this series we showcase open source alternatives to products
from Progress.
This is a new series. Bear with us as we compile additional
roundups.

XenServer (previously Citrix Hypervisor) is a hypervisor
optimized for the Citrix platform. XenServer is proprietary
software.
We recommend the best free and open source alternatives for
Linux.
* ⚓ Rakarrack_plus_-_rewrite_of_Rakarrack_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛
Rakarrack is a JACK app. Presets and user interface are
optimized for guitar, but Rakarrack processes signals in stereo
while it does not apply internal band-limiting filtering, and
thus is well suited to all musical instruments and vocals.
This is free and open source software.
* ⚓ Hickory_-_Rust-based_DNS_client,_server_and_resolver_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛
Hickory is a Rust based DNS client, server, and resolver, built
to be safe and secure from the ground up.

To use clipboard sync, you only need to install it and start
the service. It identifies and synchronizes your clipboards
automatically.
This is free and open source software.
* ⚓ Dodo_-_graphical_email_client_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛
Dodo is a graphical email client, based on the command line
email swiss-army-knife notmuch.
This is free and open source software.
* ⚓ SuperSlicer_-_G-code_generator_for_3D_printers_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛
SuperSlicer takes 3D models (STL, OBJ, AMF) and converts them
into G-code instructions for FFF printers or PNG layers for
mSLA 3D printers. It’s compatible with any modern printer based
on the RepRap toolchain which is running a firmware based on
Marlin, Prusa, Klipper, etc.
SuperSlicer is based on PrusaSlicer which in turn is based on
Slic3r.

* ⚓ ZDNet ☛ Your_Android_phone_will_run_Debian_Linux_soon_(like_some_Pixels
already_can)⠀⇛
Qualcomm claims that my Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus' Snapdragon 8
Elite CPU is faster than the Intel Core Ultra 288V chip. My
smartphone also has 12GB of RAM and 512GB of solid-state
storage. In short, it's more powerful than most of my laptops.
So why not use it as a laptop?
Why not, indeed, says Google, which has introduced -- at long
last -- a native Linux Terminal application in its March 2025
Pixel Feature Drop.
Of course, Android is Linux. However, it's a mobile-first Linux
distribution with a smartphone-friendly interface that bears
little resemblance to the traditional Linux shell interface,
never mind the Linux graphical user interfaces and their
programs. That's changed now.
* § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾
o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Physical_Computing_Used_To_Be_A_Thing⠀⇛
In the early 2000s, the idea that you could write
programs on microcontrollers that did things in the
physical world, like run motors or light up LEDs, was
kind of new. At the time, most people thought of coding
as stuff that stayed on the screen, or in cyberspace.
This idea of writing code for physical gadgets was
uncommon enough that it had a buzzword of its own:
“physical computing”.
o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Expensive_Camera,_Cheap_3D-Printed_Lens⠀⇛
If you’re a photography enthusiast, you probably own
quite a few cameras, but the chances are your “good” one
will have interchangeable lenses. Once you’ve exhausted
the possibilities of the kit lens, you can try different
focal lengths and effects, but you’ll soon find out that
good glass isn’t cheap. Can you solve this problem by
making your own lenses? [Billt] has done just that.

Due to my circumstances, I might be perhaps interested in
dogfooding a larger number of GNOME system/session
components on a daily basis than the average.
So far, I have been using jhbuild to help me with this
deed, mostly in the form of jhbuild make to selectively
build projects out of their git tree. See, there’s a
point in life where writing long-winded CLI commands stop
making you feel smart and work the opposite way, jhbuild

Quoting: KDE Android News (March 2025) —
Here’s an overview of recent work around the Android platform support
for KDE Frameworks and KDE applications. Since the last update there
have been improvements in localization and packaging, and an
encounter with a bizarre calling convention issues deep down in the
Android stack.

KDE Neon is a Linux distribution, developed by the KDE community, that is based
on Ubuntu’s long-term support (LTS) releases and provides users with the latest
KDE software (including the Plasma desktop environment and Qt toolkit), without

I'm announcing the release of the 6.6.82 kernel.
All i386 users of the 6.6 kernel series must upgrade (as they skipped
the last release.) All other arches can skip this one as it should
not affect them.
The updated 6.6.y git tree can be found at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/
scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-6.6.y and can be
browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser: https://

Quoting: More Than Code: Outreachy Gnome Experience – ADETOYE ANOINTING —
It has been a productive, prosperous, and career-building few
months—from contemplating whether to apply for the contribution
stage, to submitting my application at the last minute, to not
finding a Go project, then sprinting through a Rust course after five
days of deliberation. Eventually, I began actively contributing to
librsvg in Rust, updated a documentation section, closed a couple of
issues, and was ultimately selected for the Outreachy December 2024 –
March 2025 cohort as an intern for the GNOME Foundation.
It has been a glorious journey, and I thank God for His love and
grace throughout the application process up to this moment as I write
this blog. I would love to delve into my journey to getting accepted
into Outreachy, but since this blog is about reflecting on the
experience as it wraps up, let’s get to it.

Pi-Hole 6 appeared a few weeks ago. Since then, there

fewer external dependencies: it no longer needs PHP or an
external web server. If you run the Docker container
version on top of another Linux OS, it's lighter still,
as the container is now based on Alpine Linux instead of
Debian. Is it really worth setting up a dedicated ad-
blocker on your own network? We decided it was high time
to try.

I run Linux on all of my computers. Since the summer of 2022, I have run

and primarily differs in that it comes with an easy-to-use installer and
configuration out of the box (it does not however come with a graphical package
manager). EndeavourOS, like upstream Arch, comes with the Pacman package
manager for installing packages from the Arch Linux repositories.

TOMLis a file format that is most suitable for configurations,
as it is meant to be edited by humans but read by computers. It
emphasizes strong readability for humans while at the same time
supporting strong typing as well as immediate and clear error
reports. On small typos you get parse errors, rather than
silently corrupted garbage. Much preferable to any and all of
XML, JSON or YAML – though sadly these may be too ubiquitous
now. TOML is frequently being used with the projects such as
the Hugo static blog compiler, or the Cargo system of Crates

Whether or not you’ve heard about Ruby on Rails (henceforth

In today’s cloud native landscape, securing Java
applications isn’t just about the code we write but the
entire container stack. While Java has maintained a
strong security record, incidents like Log4Shell have
shown us that vigilance is crucial. We need a
comprehensive approach to preventing vulnerabilities,
from the Java JRE base container image to our Java
application dependencies and the application code itself.
Last year, I worked with a client who complained about
vulnerabilities in their container base image for
Node.js. That triggered me to do more research on base
images, including Java.

* ⚓ Network World ☛ 10_Linux_commands_for_testing_connectivity_and_transfer
rates⠀⇛
There are quite a few tools that can help test your
connectivity on the Linux command line. In this post, we’ll
look at a series of commands that can help estimate your
connection speed, test whether you can reach other systems,
analyze connection delays, and determine whether particular
services are available.
* ⚓ Network World ☛ 7_time-saving_Linux_commands⠀⇛
Some Linux commands can make your time on the command line
easier and more productive. This post covers some commands that
can come in very handy.
* ⚓ Network World ☛ Showing_memory_usage_in_Linux_by_process_and_user⠀⇛
There are several commands for checking up on memory usage in a
Linux system. Focusing on which processes and users are
consuming the most memory can benefit from a few carefully
crafted tools and commands.
* ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ What_Are_Virtual_Machines,_and_How_Do_They_Work?⠀⇛
You’ve probably heard phrases like “Spin up a virtual machine”
or “Try it out in a virtual machine.” But what are virtual
machines, and how can you make use of them?
* ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 4_Ways_to_Make_a_File_in_the_Linux_Terminal⠀⇛
I'm a Linux terminal fan, always on the lookout for ways to
perform common operations directly from the command line. One
such operation I often perform in the terminal is the quick
creation of a file. Several Linux commands allow us to create
files without leaving the terminal.
§ Create Files With No Content
Sometimes, you just need a placeholder—a file that's empty and
ready to be filled later. There are a couple of ways to
accomplish this in the terminal. For example, you can use the
touch command to generate single or numerous empty files, or
use the redirection operator to create a single empty file.
* ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ History_of_the_Unix_Terminal:_How_Video_Killed_the_Printer
Star⠀⇛
Before there were modern Linux desktops, people used terminals
to interact with computers. How did they get from printing
terminals to modern displays?
* ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ The_Internet_From_Your_Terminal:_8_Ways_to_Use_cURL⠀⇛
The curl command-line tool is one of the most useful and
versatile programs you can learn. Its versatility and
comprehensive HTTP implementation mean that, if there’s a URL
for it, curl can do it.
* ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Every_Linux_File_Has_an_Execute_Bit._Here’s_What_That
Means⠀⇛
The basic Linux file permission system is simple and robust,
and it’s no surprise that it’s survived intact for over 50
years. But the execute bit is a confusing element, one that is
worth understanding in detail.
§ What Is the Execute Bit and How Can I See What It Is?
Every file on a Linux system has a set of permissions that
control what can be done with it: can it be read, written, or
executed? There are three levels of user, each with its own set
of permissions: the owner of the file (user), members of the
group that owns the file, and everyone else (other).

* ⚓ Michael Kjörling ☛ Overwriting_a_storage_device_with_random_data_(on
Linux)⠀⇛
Note: Do not do this with a SSD, including NVMe SSDs. SSDs rely
on processes known as garbage collection and wear levelling to
reduce wear, which are short-circuited if you do to it what I
propose here. For typical magnetic media such as rotational
hard disk drives, however, there is no significant downside to
this (other than the wallclock time the process takes to
perform).
* ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ How_SAML_and_OIDC_differ_in_sharing
information,_and_perhaps_why⠀⇛
In practice, SAML and OIDC are two ways of doing third party
web-based authentication (and thus a Single Sign On (SSO))
system; the web site you want to use sends you off to a SAML or
OIDC server to authenticate, and then the server sends
authentication information back to the 'client' web site. Both
protocols send additional information about you along with the
bare fact of an authentication, but they differ in how they do
this.
* ⚓ Thomas Rigby ☛ Why_I_don't_bother_with_post_production⠀⇛
I'll caveat all of this with saying again this is only one way
of taking pictures. Other people who aren't me have their own
reasons for editing images. I'm not saying what I do is right,
it's just right for me. If I was selling my photography or
working on a commission, I may think differently.
* ⚓ Josh Betz ☛ CSS_Verified_Badge⠀⇛
I’ve always liked the idea of visually differentiating my
comments to make it clear when I’m replying. Some sites use a
“verified” badge for this, and for a while, I did the same with
an icon font. I removed the icon font along with the recent
optimization work and found a way to achieve a similar verified
badge effect with just a few lines of CSS—no icon font needed.
* ⚓ Johnny Decimal ☛ 22.00.0101_My_data_storage_&_backup_strategy⠀⇛
By email, Dylan asked about my data storage and backup
strategy. In answering, I thought it'd be useful enough to
formalise here.
* ⚓ Jeremy Cherfas ☛ A_Little_Learning_...⠀⇛
The immediate trigger was an email from someone about dark mode
and how I wasn't supporting it. I made the minimum possible
changes and immediately discovered that they did nothing to
improve the look of the place, even though I never use dark
mode myself. Something had to be done.
* ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ The_OpenID_Connect_(OIDC)_'sub'_claim_is
surprisingly_load-bearing⠀⇛
OIDC (OpenID Connect) is today's better or best regarded
standard for (web-based) authentication. When a website (or
something) authenticates you through an OpenID (identity)
Provider (OP), one of the things it gets back is a bunch of
'claims', which is to say information about the authenticated
person. One of the core claims is 'sub', which is vaguely
described as a string that is 'subject - identifier for the
end-user at the issuer'. As I discovered today, this claim is
what I could call 'load bearing' in a surprising way or two.

# ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Kernel_saunters_–_Apple_rearranges_XNU
kernel_with_exclaves⠀⇛
Apple has been working to harden the XNU kernel
that powers its various operating systems,
including iOS and macOS, with a feature called
"exclaves."
The term appears to have first surfaced in a libc
file in Apple's open source software collection in
2023, and subsequently within iOS 17, released in
September of that year, as later noted by Howard
Oakley on his Eclectic Light Co blog.

o ⚓ Digital Camera World ☛ RawTherapee_review:_powerful_Raw
processing_software_for_free_|_Digital_Camera_World⠀⇛
I found RawTherapee took quite a lot of getting used to
in terms of the workflow and sheer number of adjustments
available. Some are great and provide much more control
than Lightroom, although I can't help but think that the
software is overcomplicated in some areas. The quality of
results isn't quite at the level of Adobe Camera Raw and
Lightroom, but it's not too far off and RawTherapee is
hugely impressive considering its free software.

These are not good news. In fact, much the
contrary. Compared to the real issue, the fact that
I'm not able to attend Embedded World at Nuremberg
is, well, a detail. Or at least that's what I'm
forcing myself to believe, as I REALLY wanted to be
there. But mother nature said otherwise.

Open source gives public access to a software
program's source code, allowing third-party
developers to modify or share its design, fix
broken links or scale up its capabilities. Open-
source technologies have been a huge contributor to
China's flourishing tech industry over the past few
decades.

And a gift to ourselves
Tux Machines is now exactly 3 months away from its 21st birthday.
This morning I purchased a new keyboard - a mechanical masterpiece with
animated backlight and illuminated letters/digits. The prior keyboard had sadly
developed some issues after 2 years of very heavy use.
Tux Machines is going strong and is highly active all day everyday.
Rianne's laptop has now been running non-stop for over a year:
21:06:51 up 377 days, 10:05, 5 users, load average: 0.90, 0.35, 0.33
My two laptops also have good uptime. Main laptop:
21:04:58 up 517 days, 3:49, 41 users, load average: 0.94, 1.26, 1.29
Secondary laptop:
21:07:56 up 451 days, 13:19, 3 users, load average: 7.67, 7.33, 7.18
This means I'm only days away from a combined uptime of 1,000+ days. Never done
this before! █

* ⚓ James G ☛ Common_paths_for_web_feeds⠀⇛
A list common of feed paths could help inform whether the list
of URLs the Artemis feed recovery tool checks is accurate. The
feed recovery tool is designed to help find feeds that are
broken. The list of common feed paths would be particularly
useful in instances where:
1. A site’s feed moves without a redirect, and;
2. The site’s feed is not linked via a rel=alternate on the
site’s homepage.
* ⚓ Yury Molodtsov ☛ The_Sad_State_of_Web_Browsers⠀⇛
While web browsers have become essential operating systems for
modern computing, most, like Chrome and Safari, are outdated or
limited, and innovative alternatives like Arc have struggled to
succeed. Where does this leave us?
* ⚓ Dan MacKinlay ☛ Feed_readers⠀⇛
I’ve been told to use Twitter or Facebook for this, but… no.
Those systems are designed to waste time with stupid
distractions to benefit someone else. Facebook is informative
in the same way thumb sucking is nourishing. Telling me to use
someone’s social website to gain information is like telling me
to play poker machines to fix my financial troubles. Stop that.
Contrarily, I want to find ways to summarise and condense
information to save time for myself. That’s what feeds were
designed for. New to this game? You know what podcasts are?
Podcasts are a type of feed. An audio feed. If I care about
news articles and Tumblr posts and not just audio, then I can
still use feeds — feeds of text instead of audio. Any website
can have a feed. Many do.
* ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Kagi_is_Bringing_Orion_Web_Browser_to_Linux⠀⇛
Kagi, the company behind a paid, private search engine of the
same name, has announced it’s bringing its Webkit-based Orion
web browser to Linux. In a post on BlueSky, Kagi said: “We’re
thrilled to announce that development of the Orion Browser for
GNU/Linux has officially started!”. Orion is currently only
available on macOS and iOS but was built to be better than
Apple’s own Safari, and best Surveillance Giant Google Chrome,
Mozilla Firefox and other browsers in many areas.
