Archinstall, VirtualBox and QEMU virtualization software, and PipeWire sound
server.
We also got new releases of the Thunderbird email client, fwupd firmware
updater, Tails privacy-focused distro, BleachBit system cleaner, and CachyOS
distribution. Also, this week marks the end of life for Linux kernel 6.19,
while Linux kernel 7.1 enters its public testing phase with the first Release
Candidate.
On top of that, I tell you all about Colorado’s exemption on Linux and Open
Source, Ubuntu 26.10’s release schedule, and Framework Laptop 13 Pro. Below,
you can check out this week’s hottest news and access all the distro and

* ⚓ 7_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Linux_Web-Based_Ham_Radio_Tools_-
LinuxLinks⠀⇛
Ham radio, or amateur radio, is a hobby and service that uses
licensed operators to communicate with each other using
designated radio frequencies for non-commercial purposes. This
popular hobby and service brings people, electronics and
communication together. People use ham radio to talk across
town, around the world, or even into space, all without the
Internet or cell phones.
It’s fun, social, educational, and can be a lifeline during
times of need.
This roundup looks at the finest web-based ham radio tools
available for Linux. We include a good variety of tools.
Here’s our verdict on the best free ham radio tools for Linux.
Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion.
* ⚓ OHB_-_replacement_backend_for_HamClock_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛
Open HamClock Backend (OHB) provides a replacement backend for
HamClock, allowing users and groups to run the server-side
services needed by HamClock without relying on the original
Clear Sky Institute infrastructure.
The project generates and serves the live data, maps, feeds,
and endpoints used by HamClock clients, with an emphasis on
independent deployment and compatibility with the HamClock
Standards.
This is free and open source software.
* ⚓ VictoriaLogs_-_high-performance_log_database_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛
VictoriaLogs is a high-performance log database designed to
ingest, store, and query log data efficiently across everything
from small single-node deployments to larger clustered
environments.
It focuses on straightforward operation with a zero-config
approach, while still offering fast full-text search,
analytics, and field extraction through its LogsQL query
language. The software also integrates with common log
collection pipelines and provides both a built-in web interface
and Grafana support for exploring and visualizing log data.
This is free and open source software.
* ⚓ fscrypt_-_Go_tool_for_managing_Linux_filesystem_encryption_-
LinuxLinks⠀⇛
fscrypt is a high-level command-line utility for managing Linux
native filesystem encryption on supported filesystems.
It provides a consistent interface for setting up encrypted
directories, managing protectors and policies, and working with
the kernel’s native filesystem encryption support on
filesystems such as ext4 and f2fs.
This is free and open source software.
* ⚓ TWSLA_-_TWSNMP's_Simple_Log_Analyzer)_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛
TWSLA is a command-line log analysis tool from the TWSNMP
project. It’s built for administrators and operators who want
to work directly with large log sets without deploying a
heavier log management stack.
The program imports logs into a local searchable datastore,
then provides interactive terminal-based tools for filtering,
counting, extracting, and visualising data. It supports common
operational workflows such as spotting rare events, examining
time-based activity patterns, and analysing suspicious or
delayed log entries.
This is free and open source software.

Version 7.3 is a "milestone" release. A huge amount of development since 7.2,
with many 7.2.x minor-number releases. A lot has happened, and as usual it is
too difficult to summarize in a few paragraphs.

* ⚓ Paweł Grzybek ☛ Vim_tip:_substitute_pattern_delimiter_doesn't_need_to
be_a_slash⠀⇛
But did you know that slash / is not the only valid pattern
delimiter? How many times in the past have you escaped all the
slashes in the URL or file path? Any single-byte non-
alphanumeric character (other than \, " or |) will do. The same
one is valid for the sed CLI. Look at the example.

o ⚓ Piya Gehi ☛ Towards_a_public_homelab⠀⇛
I haven’t been able to make progress on my homelab. The
setup was all local and I was mostly working on my own,
so it wasn’t as fun to work on after a point. I also
started overthinking parts of the setup, which is
ironical since the idea of a lab is to experiment. Then I
started seeing discussions around self-hosting email, and
that got me thinking about how I could reframe the
project.
o ⚓ Yle ☛ Finland_to_keep_election_data_at_home_after_all⠀⇛
The Ministry of Justice says a new electoral information
system will be hosted in a data centre in Finland.
Following a competitive bidding process, the Canadian IT
firm CGI was selected to supply the centre.
The ministry said the move is driven by the need to keep
elections secure and running reliably.
* § Standards/Consortia⠀➾
o ⚓ Saurabh "Sam" Khawase ☛ Email_is_crazy⠀⇛
I come across email systems routinely during my day job.
The quirks of this crazy contraption amazes me every
time. Email is one the most successful communication
technology ever built. Billions1 of emails are sent each
day. More than half of it is spam, but a big chunk is
transactional emails like password reset, notifications,
alerts etc. Marketing campaigns which we all love to hate
also contribute to 25-35%. The beauty of email is that is
just works even though most people don’t know the insane
complexities behind the email infrastructures.

being a factory builder that gives you a lot of freedom on how
to achieve your goals, and let’s not forget Vampire Crawlers
that takes the Vampire Survivor formula and adapts it in the
retro first-persion view mode RPG party game genre. Here is the
whole list below to consider for your Steam Deck.

The directive is not a pilot program or a political aspiration.
France’s DINUM, the central body responsible for state digital
infrastructure, has formally announced it is migrating its own
workstations from Windows to Linux and has mandated that all
other ministries, agencies, and affiliated public bodies submit
their own migration plans before autumn 2026. The scope covers
an estimated 2.5 million government devices. The directive
extends well beyond the operating system: cloud infrastructure,
collaborative tools, and artificial intelligence platforms are
all included. French budget minister David Amiel was direct
about the motivation. “We can no longer accept that our data,
our infrastructure, and our strategic decisions depend on
solutions whose rules, pricing, and risks we do not control,”
he said. That is not the language of a procurement review. It
is the language of a government that has decided American tech
dependence is a strategic liability.

GNOME has always been one of the most popular
desktop environments on Linux, and for good reason.
It has always offered a cohesive, easy-to-navigate
workspace that felt like macOS in all the right
ways. It’s right up there with KDE in being one of
the best desktop environments of all time.
That being said, it’s not perfect. The out-of-the-
box experience is lacking, to say the least, and
some of the design choices remain questionable.
Thankfully, GNOME does allow for the use of
extensions, some of which can completely transform
the user interface. Many of these I would even
consider essential, given how quirky and
frustrating the default workflow can often be.

gThumb, the free open-source image viewer and organizer, is finally

Quoting: I tried the most "bloated" Linux distro, and it's still better than
Windows —
Linux has a reputation for being lightweight—the go-to solution for
breathing life into old hardware that Windows gave up on years ago.
You can install Linux on machines with 512MB of RAM and a processor
from 2008, and they work surprisingly well. However, that doesn’t
mean all Linux distros work equally well on aging, low-powered
hardware.
You see, there are some distros that are specifically optimized for
old and weak hardware. Likewise, there are also performance-oriented
distros that are more concerned with giving you a polished, full-
featured experience—an experience that’s only possible on more modern
and capable hardware. Ubuntu firmly falls in the second camp—and it’s
one of the most bloated and demanding distros out there.

The Kdenlive devs always write their own separate announcement to highlight the
major changes in the application, and Kdenlive 26.04 does not disappoint. It
introduces the ability to mirror any monitor when working in full-screen mode,
animated previews for transitions, and basic math expression support in effect
spinboxes.
Kdenlive 26.04 also adds the ability for transitions to automatically adjust to
the length of the video clip they’re being applied to, adds a new frei0r
heatmap0r effect, adds an option to lock the playhead at the center of the
timeline during playback, scrubbing, or seeking, and lets you change the
playback speed of multiple clips at once.

one superuser command away from wiping my operating system. Then,
once I had gained confidence in using it, I wanted to use it all the
time. I installed apps with it, edited files with it, the full kit.
Now that I'm settling into Linux, I'm back to using the terminal more
sparingly. However, it's not because I'm scared of it (although I
probably should be), but because...I don't really need to use it. And
the thing is, that's perfectly okay.

Earlier today Linus Torvalds merged a pull request to remove
AX.25 and hamradio subsystem support from the Linux kernel.
While the headline sounds ominous, most modern AX.25
implementations occur in software at the user level without
relying on the kernel level implementation. Direwolf, for
example, does not require kernel level AX.25 support. Other
software relying on AX.25 may take advantage of dedicated AX.25
Python libraries.

* ⚓ Miguel Grinberg ☛ How_Bitwarden_Encrypts_and_Decrypts_Secrets⠀⇛
Speaking of the Bitwarden clients, while I was writing this
article it came out that the official Bitwarden CLI client was
compromised in a supply chain attack. This is a tool that I
personally use and have on all my computers, so this feels like
a wake up call to me. Luckily I did not install the compromised
version myself, but I think there is an argument to be made
about rolling your own secret management client instead of
relying on the one all the hackers are after!
In this article I'll share how the encryption of secrets works
in Bitwarden and its Vaultwarden clone. I'll also include
working Python code, in case you want to tinker with this and
like myself, would be interested in building your own tooling
to keep your secrets safe.

* ⚓ Henrique Cabral ☛ The_fastest_Linux_timestamps⠀⇛
One of my pet projects at my last job was to introduce
distributed tracing to a low-latency pipeline (think 1–10
microseconds per stage) using OpenTelemetry. As part of this
effort I spent a considerable amount of time designing,
implementing, and optimising our own C++ tracing client
library, as the official one has too much overhead. My goal was
for the latency impact per component to stay under 5% so both
developers and users would feel comfortable leaving traces
always on in production; this translated to a budget of about
50–100 ns (a few hundred clock cycles) per span.
* ⚓ Riki Moe ☛ Lua_can_be_a_really_cool_HTML_templating_engine⠀⇛
It’s a pretty cool language. It is also one of my favourite
programming languages, for which I made a case in a past blog
post.
One of my favourite aspects of Lua’s design that I like to
preach about is how it’s really tight and small, while also
being genuinely really sweet to write. Today, I’d like to focus
on its Lisp-like aspect: domain specific languages
(DSLs)—specifically, we will use it to build a templating
language for HTML.
But first, let me set some background.
* ⚓ WolfSSL ☛ Why_C_Remains_the_Gold_Standard_for_Cryptographic_Software⠀⇛
Even in memory-safe languages, logic errors and exception-

cause memory corruption, but they can introduce panics or
denial-of-service paths in security-critical code.
No language replaces discipline, review, and testing.

Quoting: DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD. —
When I first heard about ENux I was excited by the concept. I greatly
enjoy Bedrock Linux and what the project does - merging multiple
distributions into one, easily managed form. Bedrock is essentially
solving the same problem as containers (like Distrobox) with less
work to set up and maintain it. However, it can take a while to get
accustomed to Bedrock and how to set it up, so having a distribution
which ships with Bedrock baked into the operating system from the
beginning sounded like a great idea.
I read the ENux website and discovered it had almost no useful
information about what the operating system does or how it works,
which was a bit worrying. I tried looking up information on ENux and
discovered every article or "review" I could find of the distribution
either had no more information than the website or was clearly
written by a LLM spewing out review-like phrases and hype with no
idea of what ENux was or how the operating system worked.

Quoting: The gaming Linux distro everyone's switching to just made sudo way
more secure with your fingerprint —
2026 has been a great year for CachyOS, and we're only a quarter of
the way in. Earlier in the year, we saw CachyOS dethrone Arch Linux
as the top distro for reports in ProtonDB, which ended a year-long
reign and showed a pattern of people checking out CachyOS for their
gaming needs.
Now, the April version of CachyOS has been released, and one of its
key features is better sudo protection. Now, if you really want to
stop people from running superuser commands on your system, you can
lock it behind a fingerprint scanner for an extra layer of security.

Coming about five and a half months after Trinity Desktop Environment R14.1.5,
the Trinity Desktop Environment R14.1.6 release introduces support for recent
GNU/Linux distributions, including Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (Resolute Raccoon), Fedora
Linux 44, and Mageia 10, as well as support for the LoongArch64 architecture on
Debian 14 Forky/Sid.
Trinity Desktop Environment R14.1.6 also updates the available search engines
and graphical UI, adds a “Go to Desktop” action to the Konqueror browser, adds
an option for a 3D border to the Kicker application menu, and adds drag and
drop support of snapshots into other apps from the KSnapshot screenshot
utility.

* ⚓ TDE_R14.1.6_released!⠀⇛
The Trinity Desktop Environment development team is pleased to
announce the immediate availability of the TDE R14.1.6 release.
R14.1.6 is the sixth maintenance release of the R14.1.x series.
Upgrading from R14.1.5 should be straightforward, although you
will likely need to do a "full-upgrade" in Debian-based distros
due to changes in the name of some packages.

It’s worth noting, Brave Origin is available for free on
Linux.
* § Mozilla⠀➾
o ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Firefox’s_free_VPN_is_getting_the_one_feature_it_was
missing⠀⇛
Mozilla has attracted kudos since it added a free built-
in VPN to its Firefox web browser, not least because of
the generous 50 GB a month usage limit. Now it’s set to
add another sweetener: server location choice. Mozilla
began rolling out VPN integration in Firefox 149 for
Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux to users in the UK, USA,
France and Germany as a privacy shield: it hides your
real IP address when browsing by routing traffic through
a secure proxy server hosted by Fastly. Canada was added
to that list with Firefox 150.
