LibreOffice slams Euro-Office as ‘de facto ally’ of Microsoft

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:02:48 +0200

Euro-Office launches its stable 1.0 release on June 9, billed as a ‘truly open’ sovereign alternative to Microsoft Office – a claim riling The Document Foundation, makers of LibreOffice. In an open letter published today, TDF’s Italo Vignoli takes issue with the upstart productivity suite’s pitch. He disputes Euro-Office’s marketing, which he says positions it as the first open-source office suite developed in Europe. It’s historically inaccurate as OpenOffice.org got there in 2001, followed by LibreOffice from 2010. But he calls out another issue. The European Union is making a big push for digital sovereignty, cutting down on how much […] You're reading LibreOffice slams Euro-Office as ‘de facto ally’ of Microsoft, a blog post from OMG!

[$] An update on fanotify

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:35:10 +0200

In a filesystem-track session at the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, Amir Goldstein updated attendees on the fanotify filesystem-event monitoring subsystem. He wanted to describe changes that had come in the last year or so, as well as upcoming features and some remaining challenges in his efforts to use fanotify for hierarchical storage management (HSM). Fanotify is the user-space API for monitoring files, directories, and filesystems for events of various sorts (e.g. opening or deleting a file).

rsync 3.4.4 released with regression fixes

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 16:23:23 +0200

Andrew Tridgell has announced the release of rsync 3.4.4 with fixes for the regressions introduced in the 3.4.3 release. He also notes there will be an rsync 3.5.0 soon, with many more security updates: As part of the 3.5.0 release update I have created a rsync-security@lists.samba.org mailing list for anyone who is willing to do testing of the 3.5.0 release. The idea is to try to reduce the chance of more regressions by expanding the set of testers of this release. I have seeded it with people who were involved in past rsync security issues. If you want to join this list then the easiest way would be for you to be vouched for by someone on the distros@vs.openwall.org list or someone else I already trust. My apologies for the regressions in the 3.4.3 release and I hope future security updates for rsync will have less issues. The greatly expanded test suite in rsync 3.5 combined with the rsync-security mailing list should help.

It looks like Vulkan video decode has finally merged for Firefox 153

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 05:58:03 +0200

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2021722 This should mean out of the box hardware accelerated video decode for Nvidia users without needing hacky third party translation to vaapi or weird permissions or any of that (no offense to the good work elfarto has done with that workaround driver). This should also work with every major vendor including AMD, Intel, and any other vendor that implements a vulkan driver with vulkan video decode extensions even on arm as mentioned in the bug report. This could simplify things in the future with the potential of every GPU vendor on firefox just using vulkan video decode, even on Windows. One less bit of fragmentation to develop around. It could even allow Nvidia video decode on the open source NVK driver in the future as they are working on Vulkan video for that as well. Media capabilities like encode and decode with nvenc and nvdec are among the top features that would keep many on the proprietary driver so any further vulkan video progress on that would be a great thing to boost the open source driver. Now we just need chrome to do the same so that functionality extends to applications like discord and others based on chromium as well. It looks like Nvidia was starting that work months ago but with the latest update from Google a few weeks ago it appears they have seen no progress yet, which is disappointing. submitted by /u/DistantRavioli [link] [comments]

Tristim: a tool that measures how your Wayland compositor actually reproduces color (SDR and HDR), using a Spyder/i1Display colorimeter

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 07:31:50 +0200

A capture in progress: each measured sample embedded in CIELAB at its own color, with the trial's gamut cage and expected→measured error vectors, while the colorimeter works through the remaining patches A few months ago I wanted to try dialing in the color representations on my monitor array to match each other, so I got one of the standard Spyder colorimeter tools off of amazon. Turns out that all the drivers and applications for it are locked to either x11 or one of the proprietary OS's -- neither of which was going to help me with my project. This is the solution to that. Tristim is a rust GUI tool and some new crates built around using usb colorimeters on Wayland. It focuses on using the hardware and correlating what color points and formats were presented to your compositor with what readings the sensor is making. The display test component also speaks the full wp_color_management_v1 protocol, so patches can be presented as real HDR (PQ/BT.2020) content. It also features an interactive 3d representation of the results -- letting you see visually where the compositor+display stackup is coherent versus out-of-spec. Exporting both .csv and .ti3 representations of session data is also possible for your own use. This means you can use the ArgyllCMS toolchain to build ICC profiles with the data collected by Tristim. This also includes a re-implementation of usb drivers for a few of the most common colorimeter pucks (thanks to ArgyllCMS for the protocol docs). While I only have the one device (Spyder 2024) to validate against, we have also implemented drivers for a few of the other common variants that had the necessary reference material (SpyderX, i1Display Pro/ColorMunki family, etc) -- any help testing them would be greatly appreciated.

Open source kept my 2009 Logitech G19 alive

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 16:54:10 +0200

TL;DR: Fixed a long-standing bug in the Linux driver for my 2009 Logitech G19. Instead of replacing perfectly good hardware, I repaired the software. This is why I love Linux and open source. Today I fixed a bug in the Linux driver for my Logitech G19. What makes this special is that the keyboard was released in 2009. Logitech stopped supporting it years ago, but thanks to an open-source project called g19daemon, the keyboard still works under Linux. One feature never worked correctly for me: the G-keys could only be triggered once and then stopped responding as expected. The issue had been reported before, but nobody seemed to know the root cause. After digging through the code, tracing the event handling and testing different approaches, I finally found the bug and fixed it. Now the G-keys, media keys, volume wheel, mute button, LCD display and backlight controls all work properly on a modern Linux system. Moments like this remind me why I love Linux and open source. A 17-year-old piece of hardware is not obsolete when the source code is available and people are willing to understand how things work. Instead of replacing the keyboard, I repaired the software. That's freedom. submitted by /u/Traditional-Scar-667 [link] [comments]

.tar & .zip - Universal, Portable Application Distribution

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 21:47:33 +0200

Tape Archives (.tar) and Zip Archives (.zip) are the ultimate Portable Application Distribution method for POSIX, and Single Unix Universality. I've been using Linux and FreeBSD for 6 years. In all that time, the mighty Tarball or Zip, has never failed me. A single compressed archive with a Statically Compiled Executable only requires a tar --extract --file ./*.gz --verbose command and a sudo ln -s ~/executable /usr/local/bin command to install. 2 commands, that's it. My favorite developers also vendor their Dynamic Libraries with their Tarballs if they require dynamic dependencies. That only requires one extra command sudo ln -s ~/app-directory/lib/* /usr/local/lib and you often, don't even need to do that. No fuss, if I want to delete the Application, I delete it's directory and configurations in ~/.config and clear the symbolic links in /usr/local/bin. It's that easy. Even easier if Configurations are stored in the same directory as the Application. There is a lot of lies out there, claiming that Linux Desktop is impossible to support due to the inability to package applications across distributions. This is obviously false. The only thing perpetuating this belief is the false claim that only GTK and QT can be supported and that you must ship to the package repository for the distribution. This is also obviously false. You can use LVGL, FLTK, SDL, wxWidgets, SFML, GLFW, Electron, Raw OpenGL, Bare Vulkan, whatever on Earth you want. Vendoring your Dynamic Libraries in the Tarball is simple, easy and obvious. Static Compilation is even better, if you can achieve that. To prove my point, here are some obvious examples: https://code.visualstudio.com/download https://go.dev/dl https://dart.dev/get-dart/archive https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/releases/latest https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/latest https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/latest https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/releases/latest https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/releases/latest https://github.com/go-task/task/releases/latest I could go on forever. I use my Distribution Package Manager for System Packages ONLY. If you ship your Source Code in a Tarball, I'll compile it from source and symbolically link the build artifacts myself, I won't even touch the install.sh or use make install. I run a bare make command. I don't need deep integration with my specific Linux Distribution and Desktop Environment (I use Arch by the way!), because that would reduce portability. I like it when my Linux Apps work on FreeBSD and with any Desktop Environment. The Tarball, Zip Archive combo has always been the best Packaging Format for Application Portability. EDIT: This is directed at companies and developers that claim that it is impossible to ship a Portable Linux Desktop Application. submitted by /u/JohnMatthiasWabwire [link] [comments]

Picking a distro for an RTX 5090 (Blackwell) CUDA + Python workstation... CachyOS?

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 22:37:40 +0200

I've been going back and forth on this for a while and figured the people here would have actual experience rather than just opinions. Posting my hardware, what I do with it, and my reasoning, happy to be argued out of it. The hardware Laptop (TongFang barebone): Ryzen 9 9955HX, 64 GB RAM, ~3.7 TB GPU: RTX 5090 Laptop (Blackwell, ~23 GB) + AMD Radeon 610M iGPU (hybrid) Dual-booting an existing Windows 11 install What I actually do with it Research computing. The specific science doesn't really matter for the distro choice (gravitational-wave data analysis, if you're curious), so here's the shape that does matter: Heavy CUDA + scientific Python: numpy/scipy, PyTorch / CuPy / JAX, the usual suspects Everything lives in Conda/Miniforge environments, deliberately kept off the system Python VS Code Remote-SSH into HPC clusters; but also heavy local dev + GPU runs Desktop: KDE Plasma or Gnome with Tweaks + Extensions on Wayland, 2-4 monitors with independent fractional scaling (e.g. one screen at 150%, another at 100%) The constraints that actually drive the decision Blackwell needs the open NVIDIA kernel modules + a recent driver (570+), so I want a reasonably fresh kernel/driver It's a work machine, so I want stability + a real rollback path (snapshots), not heroics Clean separation between system / Flatpak GUI apps / Conda science stack / vendor dev tools Why I'm leaning CachyOS Shortlist was Fedora (Plasma or KDE), Kubuntu (KDE) / Ubuntu (Gnome), openSUSE Tumbleweed, EndeavourOS and CachyOS. CachyOS keeps pulling me back because: Freshest kernel + driver, which matters for a launch-window GPU Btrfs bootable snapshots + an LTS fallback kernel by default NVIDIA handled in the installer The honest counterpoint I keep arguing with myself about: My compute stack is Conda binaries, which ship their own optimized BLAS/FFT, so CachyOS's x86-64-v3/v4 repo optimizations mostly benefit system-level stuff, not the science I actually run. So some of the appeal might just be vibes. Fedora KDE is the calmer alternative (fixed release, and RPM Fusion's akmods auto-signs the NVIDIA module so Secure Boot), and Tumbleweed arguably has the best out-of-the-box rollback story. I was also thinking about Ubuntu/Kubuntu, but I don't want a bloated setup and snap gets forced on you. On the other side it is the industry standard. What I'd genuinely love input on Anyone running Blackwell / RTX 50-series on Arch or CachyOS: How has the open-module + rolling-kernel combo held up? Any breakages on kernel bumps? Hybrid AMD iGPU + NVIDIA dGPU on Wayland: On these laptops the external outputs are often wired to the dGPU. PRIME / reverse-PRIME experiences and gotchas? Rolling vs fixed for a CUDA workstation: Does the freshness actually pay off, or does it just turn into babysitting the kernel/driver before every update? Secure Boot on the Arch family with out-of-tree NVIDIA: Worth the signing setup, or do you just disable it and move on? Anyone who picked CachyOS specifically for compute: did the optimized repos make a measurable difference, or is Fedora/Tumbleweed effectively the same once your real work is in Conda containers? Because someone mentioned Arch Linux: Shouldn't have CachyOS the same customization options? I think they just have added a bit above Arch Linux. I also like the btrfs snapshot and rollback feature. I was thinking about using EndeavourOS and add it, but then I was questioning myself why even doing the extra work to rebuild CachyOS if CachyOS is already there. submitted by /u/Grelueen [link] [comments]

History Fun Fact: ZFS was original ported to Linux to support the Lustre filesystem

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 22:41:36 +0200

The ZFS filesystem was originally developed by Sun in the early 2000s for their Solaris operating system. However, the ZFS that most people are familiar with is openZFS (running on Linux). Originally proprietary, ZFS became open-source under the CDDL license in 2005 after Sun open-sourced Solaris. Yet it was only in 2008 that work began on a Linux kernel port of ZFS (known then as ZFS-on-Linux) at Lawrence Livermore National Lab (LLNL). Being a national lab, LLNL invests significantly in large supercomputers. Consequently, they invest in a lot of storage as well. Supercomputers traditionally use large shared (i.e. networked) file systems to shared data between compute nodes. The most popular filesystem for this is Lustre (Lustre = Linux + Cluster, but imagine Cluster is spelled like Clustre). Lustre is a parallel filesystem. Where a normal network filesystem stores all files on a single physical node, Lustre shards files over a fleet of servers. This way, a single Lustre cluster can serve files to 10,000s of clients simultaneously - beyond what is typically possible with NFS or SMB. Lawrence Livermore uses Lustre for the majority of their HPC storage to this day. However, in the mid-2000s - LLNL was concerned with the scalability of the existing Lustre storage backend (based on the ext4 filesystem). Unlike ext4, ZFS natively supports several features - software RAID, copy-on-write, online data integrity - that make it more powerful for managing large disk arrays. But at this point, ZFS was not yet available on Linux. Hence, Livermore began to port ZFS to the Linux kernel and (along with the Lustre developers, who were at Sun at the time) implement Lustre support for ZFS. The first prototype Lustre-on-ZFS filesystem came online in 2009, predating normal ZFS-on-Linux support by about 2 years. Over time, the remaining ZFS features were ported to Linux - including the ZFS POSIX layer (ZPL) that most people are familar with today. The ZFS-on-Linux project grew into openZFS. And Lustre-on-ZFS remains one of the most popular ways to run ZFS at large national labs and HPC sites. I've linked to some slides that talk more about the history of ZFS and Lustre. There's also a video (from a different presentation) where one of the original openZFS developers from LLNL talks about how they use Lustre-on-ZFS. Lustre itself is fully open-source and GPLv2, if anyone wanted to check it out. Until the last few years, Lustre was not as well known - so a lot of people don't know about this cool bit of history. TLDR; ZFS was ported to Linux to be the backend for a big supercomputer filesystem (Lustre) before it was ported as a normal filesystem. submitted by /u/lustre-fan [link] [comments]

I released a Linux build of Focus, an open-source offline Eisenhower Matrix task manager

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 14:48:00 +0200

Focus started as an Android app I built because I couldn't find a task manager that worked fully offline without requiring an account or a subscription. Eisenhower Matrix layout, local storage only, nothing phoning home. It grew slowly, got a Windows build out, and today the Linux version is out. Distributed as AppImage and a portable bundle. Built with Flutter, storage handled by Hive locally. I only tested on Nobara so far and it ran without issues. I won't pretend I've tested it across a wide range of distros because I haven't, so if something breaks on your setup I'd genuinely like to know. The core idea hasn't changed since the Android version. Everything stays on your machine, there's no backend, no sync, no account creation. Keyboard-first workflow, native desktop integration, and the data never leaves your device because there's nowhere for it to go. Source is on GitHub if you want to look at how it's put together or contribute. Open to feedback on the packaging side especially since that's the part I'm least confident about across different environments. GitHub releases page submitted by /u/bxmbshr [link] [comments]

Crate - a daemonless container runtime I built in Go to learn how Docker works

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 17:29:13 +0200

Hey folks, I’ve been working on Crate for the past few weeks. It’s a small daemonless container runtime written in Go for Linux. The goal was to understand how container runtimes work under the hood instead of treating Docker/Podman as magic. It launches containers directly, stores state on disk, and supports both rootless and rootful execution. Currently, it supports the core pieces of a basic container runtime: pulling and running Docker Hub images container lifecycle commands like run, create, start, stop, ps, logs, and rm Linux namespaces for process, mount, hostname, user, and network isolation root filesystem setup with pivot_root / chroot bind mounts, image env/CMD/entrypoint handling, and interactive PTYs rootless private networking with pasta and port publishing (doesn't support networking in root gonna add that soon) I’ve also written a small guide/docs series for anyone else who wants to understand or build something similar: docs It’s still experimental and not production-ready. Big missing pieces include cgroups/resource limits, stronger security hardening, full OCI compliance, better registry support, multi-platform support and probably a million other things that Im forgetting. Repo: https://github.com/aayushkdev/crate/ I’m still improving it, so I’d love to hear feedback, ideas, or suggestions. If you like the project, a star on GitHub would mean a lot. submitted by /u/not_a_bot6 [link] [comments]

GZML Shell – A Familiar Home for Noctalia v4 Users

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 21:23:15 +0200

GZML Shell – A Familiar Home for Noctalia v4 Users With Noctalia V5 moving toward a C++-based architecture, I know there are still plenty of users who enjoy the Quickshell based experience that V4 provided. That's one of the reasons I started building GZML Shell. GZML Shell began as a personal project and experiment, but it has grown into a standalone shell based on the Noctalia V4 foundation while adding new features, bug fixes, and quality of life improvements along the way. Some highlights include: • Video playback support for the lock screen • Improved profile handling and synchronization options • Support for both bundled and user installed plugins • Compatibility layers for existing Noctalia plugins • Cleaner separation between shell files and user configuration • Numerous backend fixes and usability improvements One feature I specifically wanted to keep was an easy migration path. If you're coming from Noctalia V4, you can simply copy your existing settings, profiles, and configuration files into the appropriate GZML Shell config directory after install and continue using your setup with minimal hassle. The goal isn't to replace Noctalia or compete with the V5 effort it's simply to provide an option for users who prefer the Quickshell workflow and want a smoother transition without rebuilding everything from scratch. The project is fully open source, and all code is available for anyone to inspect, modify, or contribute to. If you'd like to test it out, provide feedback, report bugs, or follow development, check out the GitHub repository: https://github.com/zero-j89/gzml_shell I'm especially interested in hearing which Noctalia plugins people use most often so I can prioritize long-term compatibility and native support moving forward. Of course I want to give a special thanks to the noctalia devs for all their hard work. Edit: I Went ahead and added a new migration utility so users can cleanly migrate their stuff from Noctalia to gzml-shell without breaking any configs!

Using AI for troubleshooting with full system access

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 00:47:15 +0200

So I've been having a nagging issue with my laptop: it has both an integrated Intel UHD 770 and a dedicated NVIDIA RTX A1000, and I suspected the system wasn't actually using the A1000 for anything. Instead of spending an hour googling, I decided to let Claude Code (Anthropic's CLI AI tool) walk through the diagnosis with me. Here's the thing though, every single command it wanted to run got shown to me first, with a plain-English explanation of what it was doing and why. I approved or denied each one before it executed. Nothing ran silently in the background. What it actually did, step by step: lspci | grep -i vga — Listed all GPU hardware on the PCI bus to confirm both GPUs were physically present. glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer" — Checked which GPU was actually handling OpenGL rendering (spoiler: Intel, not NVIDIA). nvidia-smi — Checked NVIDIA driver status, GPU temperature, power draw, and what processes were using the card. Only Xorg was on it, using 4MB. lsmod | grep nvidia — Confirmed the NVIDIA kernel modules were loaded. pacman -Qs nvidia — Listed installed NVIDIA packages to see what driver stack was in place. cat /proc/cmdline — Checked kernel boot parameters (confirmed nvidia-drm.modeset=1 was already set correctly). udevadm info /dev/dri/card1 and card2 — Identified which DRI device node corresponded to which GPU. cat /etc/sddm.conf — Checked the display manager config for any GPU preferences. echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE — Confirmed I'm running KDE Plasma on Wayland, not X11. The diagnosis: The NVIDIA driver is installed and working fine. The issue is just how hybrid GPU laptops work on Linux, the display output is physically wired through the Intel chip, so by default KWin (the KDE compositor) uses Intel for everything. NVIDIA sits idle in "offload" mode unless you explicitly tell an app to use it. The fix is either: Install nvidia-prime and use prime-run to launch specific apps on the NVIDIA GPU. Or force KWin to use NVIDIA as the primary renderer by setting KWIN_DRM_DEVICES=/dev/dri/card1 in /etc/environment. My question: What do you all think about this workflow, giving an AI access to your whole system, but with a human-in-the-loop approval step for every command? On one hand it's genuinely useful. It ran 9 targeted diagnostic commands, explained each one clearly, and gave me a well-reasoned diagnosis in maybe 5 minutes. On the other hand, it did have read access to things like kernel parameters, installed packages, hardware IDs, and system config files. Even with approval gates, you're trusting the AI to be honest about what a command does before you run it. A malicious or hallucinating model could describe a command as benign when it isn't. Is the approval-per-command model enough of a safeguard? Or is "AI with full system access, even supervised" a line you wouldn't cross? Curious where people draw the line. submitted by /u/iwannaknowaboutlinux [link] [comments]

Windows user for years, decided to try Linux(CachyOS) for the first time, mixed feelings.

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 05:29:03 +0200

I work in IT support. I've configured over 400 computers running Windows across different environments. My honest take on Windows: if you have three functioning brain cells and can install drivers, it just works. I've had minimal issues. I'm not a Windows fanboy, I'm just someone who values things that work without friction. That said, I wanted to give Linux a real shot. I picked CachyOS because of the performance focus and KDE. Here's what happened. The bad (and it's real)... Getting it to boot was a nightmare. BalenaEtcher bricked my USB on first try, switched to Rufus. Then CachyOS flat out refused to boot on my Acer 515-54 (backup device). Tried disabling Secure Boot, changing partition tables, enabling AHCI mode, nothing. Eventually found a niche forum post with a specific command that fixed it. It worked, but that should NOT be the onboarding experience. Bluetooth audio is painful. My Anker headphones sound genuinely bad on Linux. I understand it's a codec issue with HiRes audio, but features like ANC and HiFi mode are just broken. On Windows they work out of the box. This alone is a dealbreaker for daily use or any noob user. Now... I support piracy. Stremio with Real-Debrid was a headache. Add-ons wouldn't install via the desktop app at all, had to use the web version. And then Stremio refused to play audio entirely. Took a good chunk of terminal commands to fix it. On Windows: installed it, opened it, it worked. Gaming is where it really falls apart for me. Soulframe, Ride 5/6, significantly worse than on Windows and also tried star wars fallen order an it didn't open at all. Some other games require setting up Bottles with what feels like a PhD's worth of parameters, just for the game to crash 15 minutes in. The frustrating part? When everything runs, the performance gap is actually small, like 4-5 FPS difference. That's fine. But the setup tax is not. Also, can we stop pretending Windows 11 is unusable? A simple debloat script from GitHub and it runs beautifully lean. My secondary laptop has a GTX 1650 and it handles plenty of games without breaking a sweat. The "Windows is bloated" argument feels outdated if you actually know what you're doing with it. The community in other subreddits was rough. I asked how to install Office 365 on Linux and got buried in responses telling me to use LibreOffice/only office and that I should "ditch Microslop" I just needed Office. For advanced data analysis and complex spreadsheets, the open source alternatives genuinely fall short, that's not an opinion, that's a workflow reality. Same story with the Adobe suite. I wasn't asking for a philosophy debate or a 5 hour guide to get my adobe to work. The good (and it's actually good!) The system feels cleaner and more fluid. Hard to quantify, but it's noticeable. Customization is genuinely excellent. I've always put effort into making Windows look good, but CachyOS/KDE let me go much further in a very satisfying way. Battery life doubled. Not a slight improvement, doubled. That alone is remarkable. Performance doesn't tank when unplugged. On Windows I need to stay plugged in for stable performance. On CachyOS, battery mode barely changed anything. That's impressive. More granular system control. I can tweak things at a level Windows doesn't expose, and it feels good to have that kind of access. Final verdict I'll probably keep Linux on this backup device for indie gaming and on the side for specific use cases, the battery life and unplugged performance are too good to ignore entirely. No hate. Just an honest assessment from someone who actually tried. submitted by /u/Honest_Tart1071 [link] [comments]

How can I contribute to Linux if I'm young?

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 23:15:11 +0200

Hi, I'm a 19 year old male and English is not my native language, and 2 years ago I bought a Steam Deck which introduced me to the vast world of Linux (sorry if this post is long) On the 1st year, I didn't tinker much with it, I only downloaded some apps like Lutris and Emudeck on Desktop mode through YouTube tutorials, but it was on my 2nd year when I bought myself a new 1TB SSD (my Deck originally had 64GB) that I thought of myself "why not dual boot other OSs like Ubuntu and Arch?", and this is what I did and how I went deeper into Linux I learned how to use the terminal and sudo commands, how to install packages through pacman and yay (AUR), learned the difference between the terms distros(Debian, arch, fedora...), desktop environments(GNOME, KDE, XFCE...), communication protocols(Wayland, X11...), learned how to use HyprLand, and I understand why Ubuntu sucks and why Arch is the best distro (I use arch btw), I also learned how to use tools like Proton, Wine, Waydroid, Winboat, Boot Loaders, VMs... At first I was just learning Linux and the idea of contributing to it haven't crossed my mind, but this year I've started to care more about privacy and open-source software (because I realized that Windows kinda sucks and loaded of bloat and telemetry), and I want to contribute to a world where people can easily switch to FOSS solutions with Linux being one of the most important ones I have little coding experience (I used to make small programs in visual studio like calculators or Word clones, and I can make clone of popular games like Angry Birds in Unity and Godot), and I'm thinking of keeping Linux as a hobby unless I find a cool job that will help me contribute to it. So far I've been thinking of posting issues reports of apps I use on Github, contributing and helping noobs like me on Reddit and Discord, make small programs and post them on Github or repos, and maybe experiment by making my own distro just for fun. My long-time goal is that I want to help with compatibility with Windows apps on Linux (like how Valve helped games work on Linux thanks to proton) I'd be glad if you could give me advices submitted by /u/Retroman1203 [link] [comments]

I couldn't find any native linux apps that felt like 2009 iTunes... So I made my own

If you don't mind me openly using AI and want to give it a shot, I encourage you to do so! Features are basic, and it's limited to Jellyfin servers only for now... But that's kinda the point.

[$] Moving beyond fork() + exec()

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 16:06:43 +0200

Since the earliest days of Unix, two of the core process-oriented system calls have been fork(), which creates a child process as a copy of the parent, and exec(), which runs a new program in the place of the current one. In Linux kernels, those system calls are better known as clone() and execve(), but the core functionality remains the same. While there is elegance to this process-creation model, there are shortcomings as well. A recent proposal from Li Chen to add "spawn templates" to the kernel will not be accepted in its current form, but it may point the way toward a new process-creation primitive in the future.

Ruby's Bundler adds a cooldown feature

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 14:57:00 +0200

Version 4.0.13 of Ruby's Bundler package-manager has added dependency cooldowns in order to help mitigate the effect of supply-chain attacks: Most supply-chain attacks against RubyGems exploit a narrow window: an account is compromised, a malicious version ships, and any bundle install in the minutes that follow resolves straight to it. Bundler 4.0.13 introduces cooldown, a time-based filter that refuses to resolve to a version until it has been public for at least N days. Releases too new to have been scrutinized are passed over in favor of ones that have aged past the window. The feature was designed in the open, drawing on how other ecosystems approach the same problem. It is opt-in, and complements rather than replaces existing defenses like mandatory 2FA and trusted publishing. LWN covered dependency cooldowns in April, and the takeover of RubyGems and Bundler in October 2025.

Zero dependency, pure C++ speech-to-text binary for Linux, done the UNIX way (daemonless, no bloat, no slop, no GUIs, no venv, nothing)

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 02:23:13 +0200

This is just a very simple, 100% local STT toggle/CLI tool (open source & Apache-2 licensed) that adheres to the UNIX philosophy, does one job and one job only. Tap once, speak for as long as you want, tap again, transcribed and copied to the clipboard. A native C++ binary that links the whisper.cpp C API directly (pulled from a pinned commit, GGML models are downloaded from Hugging Face). Everything else you already have. No deps beyond standard C++ and Linux. If you have a C++ build environment on Linux you almost certainly have everything you need already. Also, it's CPU only. CUDA? Vulkan? GPU backend? The baseline question is, does this 3D object contain an ancient artifact known as a CPU? If yes? Then it will work. The binary is a stateful toggle, with a very simply and tiny CLI surface: asryx # Toggle record/transcribe asryx status # Check idle/recording/transcribing asryx --language # Set language asryx --model list # List supported models asryx --model install # Download model asryx --model use # Switch model Default model is base.en at 142 MiB. But works with all supported GGML langs, which cover a 100 languages. And since it's a toggle you can keybind it, for example on Hyprland I have it like this: bind = ALT, W, exec, asryx You can hook it up to Sway, i3, GNOME, etc. The way it works TL;DR: First keypress captures audio via PipeWire or ALSA. Second keypress stops capture, runs inference in-process, copies to clipboard, wipes temp files, exits. Doesn't stay in memory between uses. Doesn't load the model unless invoked. Boots instantly & exits instantly. One command to install (YOU compile it on YOUR own machine, no pip install questionable-library, or cargo install questionable-crate). One command uninstall + the README lists every file and folder the tool touches. It removes all runtime artifacts before exiting. The idle footprint is exactly 0MB. And it basically never errors out as long as your machine has a light source. There is no daemon, no server, no queue, no background service, and no moving state outside the current toggle. Every run goes through one lock directory and live PID checks first, so double taps, compositor repeat, or accidentally hitting the key 10 times collapse into safe no-ops instead of spawning 10 recorders.

Dave Airlie on Linux Kernel Maintenance (SE Radio)

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 00:22:17 +0200

The Software Engineering Radio podcast has put up an interview with graphics maintainer Dave Airlie. Much of what is in there will not be news to LWN readers, but it is an interesting overview of the life of a large-subsystem maintainer. I was talking to a few of the Rust people, and I thought: these are very young people, these are a group of people in their 20s, maybe 30s, they are a younger cohort of developers than the people I am normally used to dealing with. I thought there was maybe a good way we could bring these groups together. I think that having young people coming into the kernel using Rust is valuable... So I thought that I should be supportive of bringing Rust into the kernel.

https://github.com/word-sys/puls/releases/tag/0.9.2 https://github.com/word-sys/puls/ PULS A unified system monitoring and management tool for Linux PULS combines resource monitoring with system administration capabilities. It allows control over system services, boot configurations, and logs directly from a TUI also lets you monitor your system results everything in one place. This update is performance fix updates: [v0.9.2] - 2026-06-04 Added Initialization Telemetry: Added a --telemetry command line option to print startup initialization logs Changed Lazy Loading: Deferred retrieval of system services, logs, boot history, and GRUB config until their respective tabs are actively opened Fast Journal Queries: Added the --boot=0 parameter to journalctl logs command by default to only load log entries from the current boot state, drastically increasing query performance Fixed Shortcut Interference: Protected global TUI keyboard shortcuts (such as p for pausing, t for theme cycles, etc.) in editing states, allowing typing these characters in the process filter, log filter, and GRUB/System configuration fields submitted by /u/word-sys [link] [comments]

13.7 million requests from bots in my tar pit now! Here's some info about their behavior, logs for download, and stuff:

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 18:18:02 +0200

I did a post on here a few months ago about 6.8 million requests in the same bot tar pit. Well now that's 13.7 million as of the time of writing this. When the blog article was written though, it had 10 million. Apparently I had the global rate-limit set too low for a month, so it was slow moving. I have no idea why or what I did that for, but then I forgot all about it, lol. Perhaps I was screwing around with the code while having a fever? Anyways, it has been raised to 4000 RPMs globally some days ago. And since the blog article was published, there have been about a million each day. I have a bunch of other popular tar pits at this point on other domains and stuff, but this one is still the most famous in the bot worlds. Technically we can say that Glade Art has 2 million monthly visitors on average. /s Thanks for reading! submitted by /u/Glade_Art [link] [comments]

[$] Splicing out vmsplice()

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 18:22:46 +0200

The splice() and vmsplice() system calls are meant to improve performance for certain data-movement tasks by minimizing (or avoiding altogether) system calls and the copying of data. They also have a long history of security problems. The recent flood of LLM-discovered vulnerabilities has drawn attention, once again, to splice() and vmsplice(); as a result, they may end up being removed altogether.

Nonfree DRM'd Games on GNU/Linux: Good or Bad? (by Richard Stallman)

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 10:20:32 +0200

Nonfree DRM'd Games on GNU/Linux: Good or Bad? by Richard Stallman A well known company, Valve, that distributes nonfree computer games with Digital Restrictions Management, recently announced it would distribute these games for GNU/Linux. What good and bad effects can this have? I suppose that availability of popular nonfree programs on the GNU/Linux system can boost adoption of the system. However, the aim of GNU goes beyond “success”; its purpose is to bring freedom to the users. Thus, the larger question is how this development affects users' freedom. The problem with these games is not that they are commercial. (We see nothing wrong with that.) It is not that the developers sell copies; that's not wrong either. The problem is that the games contain software that is not free (free in the sense of freedom, of course). Nonfree game programs (like other nonfree programs) are unethical because they deny freedom to their users. (Game art is a different issue, because it isn't software.) If you want freedom, one requisite for it is not having or running nonfree programs on your computer. That much is clear. However, if you're going to use these games, you're better off using them on GNU/Linux rather than on Microsoft Windows. At least you avoid the harm to your freedom that Windows would do. Thus, in direct practical terms, this development can do both harm and good. It might encourage GNU/Linux users to install these games, and it might encourage users of the games to replace Windows with GNU/Linux. My guess is that the direct good effect will be bigger than the direct harm. But there is also an indirect effect: what does the use of these games teach people in our community? Any GNU/Linux distro that comes with software to offer these games will teach users that the point is not freedom. Nonfree software in GNU/Linux distros already works against the goal of freedom. Adding these games to a distro would augment that effect. Free software is a matter of freedom, not price. A free game need not be gratis. It is feasible to develop free games commercially, while respecting your freedom to change the software you use. Since the art in the game is not software, it is not ethically imperative to make the art free—though free art is an additional contribution. There is in fact free game software developed by companies, as well as free games developed noncommercially by volunteers. Crowdfunding development will only get easier. But if we suppose that it is not feasible in the current situation to develop a certain kind of free game—what would follow then? There's no good in writing it as a nonfree game. To have freedom in your computing requires rejecting nonfree software, pure and simple. You as a freedom-lover won't use the nonfree game if it exists, so you won't lose anything if it does not exist. If you want to promote the cause of freedom in computing, please take care not to talk about the availability of these games on GNU/Linux as support for our cause. Instead you could tell people about the libre games wiki that attempts to catalog free games, the Free Game Dev Forum, and the LibrePlanet Gaming Collective's free gaming night. Note Watch out for “nonfree game data” that actually contains software. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/nonfree-games.en.html submitted by /u/WonderOlymp2 [link] [comments]

One step forward, two steps back on CA age bill (EFF Deeplinks Blog)

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 16:53:00 +0200

The EFF has a blog post looking at a new bill in California that would exempt open-source operating systems from the Digital Age Assurance Act passed last year, but has problems of its own: While the open source exemption, if passed, would improve the law, the remaining amendments proposed by AB 1856 would require all web browsers and websites to request and collect users' ages. This is an expansion of last year's AB 1043's age-bracketing system that compounds its constitutional harms to users' speech, privacy, and security. [...] EFF understands this amendment to exempt open-source operating systems from the requirement to collect and transmit users' age-bracket data. That is a definite win for open-source developers. The bill is narrower now than it was before, and lawmakers clearly responded to concerns raised by EFF and the broader open-source community. Some important questions still remain—for example, it is unclear how the law would apply when an open-source operating system is incorporated into a commercial product or service. And, given the structure of where the exemption is placed under the "operating system provider" definition, lawmakers could stand to clarify that the exemption applies to open-source operating systems and applications. LWN covered California's age-attestation law in March.

What it actually takes to run KDE Plasma on Fedora 44 with a custom PID 1 (no systemd)

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 04:44:50 +0200

Been running schema-init as PID 1 on a Fedora 44 / KDE Plasma machine for a few weeks now. Today we closed the last visible rough edge — the boot splash. Things that don't work the way you'd expect without systemd: - Plymouth `script` plugin fails silently on AMD Picasso/Raven DRM (use `two-step`) - Plymouth restores terminal echo on exit — buffered keypresses print to tty1 in the gap before Wayland starts (`stty -echo` sandwich + tcflush fixes it) - KDE Connect needs avahi-daemon explicitly started - chronyd needs explicit start — no systemd-timesyncd fallback - KDE System Settings hung 25s because it was waiting on systemd D-Bus activation (fixed with a stub that registers the interface and returns immediately) The machine runs fast. 892 KB PID 1. Everything that starts, starts because we said it should. Repo if you're curious: github.com/ajax80/schema-init submitted by /u/apphat80 [link] [comments]

EQ4MOC - A small graphical equalizer preset editor for MOC

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 09:38:24 +0200

Hi everyone, I've been using MOC (Music On Console) on Linux for many years and recently decided to build a small tool for it. EQ4MOC is a simple graphical editor/viewer for MOC equalizer presets. The idea is nothing revolutionary: I just wanted an easier way to create and manage presets without editing configuration files by hand. Features: Create and edit equalizer presets Visual representation of EQ bands Save and load presets Color theme support I know MOC is no longer as popular as it once was, but there are still a few of us using it, and I thought this tool might be useful to someone else.

California's Assembly voted 68 to 1 to exempt open source Linux from its age verification law, then extended age-gating to browsers and websites in the same bill

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 15:04:02 +0200

California's Digital Age Assurance Act, signed last October, was written to push age verification down to the operating system level. The definition of operating system provider was broad enough to sweep in open source systems like Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu and Arch, which have no company behind them to collect anything at setup. After privacy advocates and the Linux community pushed back, the Assembly passed AB 1856 this week, 68 to 1, exempting software you are free to copy, redistribute and modify, which sounds great, but the parts we should be talking about: The same bill extends age-gating obligations to browsers and websites The EFF reads this as a net expansion of the regime, not a narrowing SteamOS is not exempt because it ships Valve's proprietary Steam client on top of Linux The amendment was introduced by the same lawmaker who wrote the original law The bill still has to clear the Senate, and the underlying law takes effect in 2027.

Print in block with Drag & Drop

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:34:53 +0200

Have you ever had to print several files, but have you always done it one file at a time? Since for work often or at least 2 times a month I have several pdfs to print, I had tired of doing it one file at a time, I wrote this little utility, I wanted a simple thing to drag and so on to print, so you can do with drag-and-drop for the rest we take care of the #linux operating system and the printer you select, obviously with the pre-set printing preferences on the operating system. From my first draft, in the current version I added the ability to print files generated by Office trying to maintain compatibility where possible, so #LibreOffice #openoffice should have greater compatibility while #MS_Office files may not have the same formatting. If it can also be useful to others who use Linux as an operating system, you can download it here: https://github.com/jambolo1970/dropprint It works in Python of course and on github there are instructions to install it, I hope it can be useful to others as well.

why do so many things depend on emacs?

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 20:12:56 +0200

recently i installed something (probably Macaulay2) which added emacs desktop entries. i uninstalled macaulay2 when i no longer needed it and the emacs desktop entries remained. i was confused because i thought emacs was installed just as a dependency for macaulay2. then i looked at the dependency graph. apparently inkscape and gedit both depend on emacs. i cannot for the life of me figure out why. i don't really need either so i uninstalled both. disclaimer: i have nothing at all against emacs. i am genuinely just curious how emacs has entered the dependency graph for so many applications that by all rights don't need it. submitted by /u/smileytiger28 [link] [comments]

Backported niri (scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor) to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS — compositor + toolchain from source

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 21:56:40 +0200

niri isn't packaged on jammy, and it's not just a missing package — the surrounding stack is too old to run it cleanly. The things I had to fix: libinput < 1.27 has no dwtp config symbol niri expects, so it won't link libwayland 1.20 lacks high-res scroll (axis_value120), which makes Firefox abort under niri with "wl_pointer has no event 9" libdisplay-info isn't packaged at all, so niri has no EDID parsing Xwayland and swaylock 1.5 are both too old for the protocols niri speaks So it's the compositor plus its toolchain compiled from source with the needed patches, packaged as a .deb that declares its runtime deps, with a from-source build path for anyone who wants to read the patches. The compiled libwayland-client lands in /usr/local/lib and shadows the system one machine-wide (newer upstream, ABI-compatible) — documented as a caveat since it's the kind of thing that'd confuse a debugging session months later. Why bother: jammy is supported to 2027 and is everywhere — labs, locked-down hardware, machines that can't move off an LTS. This is for people stuck there who still want a modern Wayland desktop.

patent v0.2.0, i actually listened this time

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 22:45:41 +0200

Posted patent here a couple days ago and got way more feedback than I expected so thanks for that, even the rough kind. First post got some fair criticism and some not so fair(!), either way this is me acting on the fair part. 0.2.0 has the two things people kept bringing up. It still runs fully offline by default, ollama and the embeddings are both local, nothing phones home. the verdict just isn't locked to ollama anymore. you can point it at anything that speaks the openAI API now with --api-base and --api-key (or OPENAI_API_KEY), so LM Studio, vLLM, openRouter, wtv you run. and if you don't want an LLM anywhere near it, --fast skips that whole step and just hands you the ranked list. patent "your idea" --api-base [https://openrouter.ai/api/v1](https://openrouter.ai/api/v1) --api-key sk-... --model qwen/qwen-2.5-7b-instruct The other thing I fixed, it could pull up a near identical match and still act like nothing was there, the patent crate finding itself and then telling me to go build it was the best example of that. The open/crowded score always came from the embeddings, it was the headline text that could drift off it, so now a strong match floors the verdict and it can't say "open" over something that clearly already ships. On the AI thing, I understand you lot, yeah it's partly AI assisted and Im not gonna pretend otherwise. It's open and it has tests (that do get approved by me, I try to test what I publish as much/thoroughly) as possible, so... yeah, hit me with more feedback. The issues and PR s, Im reading all of them. Someone already sent a Nix flake one. After that? prebuilt binaries and an install script so you don't need the whole Rust toolchain just to try it. a couple people on Fedora hit missing build deps (openssl-devel, gcc-c++) so thats getting documented too. more sources after that, AUR and Nixpkgs came up a ton.

Fedora Linux 43 Exposes 20-Year-Old Microsoft Outlook Security Failure

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 01:00:00 +0200

BrianFagioli writes: Fedora Linux 43 users upgrading to the latest Dovecot mail server discovered something rather unsettling: some older Microsoft Outlook configurations may have been silently ignoring SSL/TLS settings for POP3 email connections for years. According to a Fedora community blog post, affected Outlook clients reportedly continued using insecure port 110 connections even when encryption was enabled in the application settings. The issue surfaced after Dovecot 2.4 disabled plaintext authentication on non secure connections by default, causing Outlook users to suddenly lose mailbox access after the Fedora 43 upgrade. The report suggests the behavior may date back as far as Outlook 2007, although modern Outlook builds were not fully tested. Fedora admins stress that the problem could be limited to legacy account configurations rather than current versions of Outlook itself. Still, the discovery has sparked discussion among Linux admins and security folks because many users likely assumed their email traffic was encrypted simply because Outlook claimed SSL/TLS was enabled. The incident also highlights how stricter defaults in modern open source infrastructure can expose ancient assumptions and questionable behaviors that quietly survived for decades.

[$] Open-source security is not a solo activity

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 17:02:35 +0200

Over time, many open-source maintainers face the same problem: they lack the time to do all of the work that their project needs, and no one else is stepping up to provide adequate help. Maintainers, though, are often reluctant to throw in the towel. The result is suboptimal all around; the maintainer is stressed out, project quality suffers, and users face security risks that they may not be fully aware of. At the 2026 Open Source Summit North America, Robin Bender Ginn spoke about this problem, when it might be time for maintainers to pass the torch, and the responsibilities of users.

Tridgell: rsync and outrage

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 15:00:46 +0200

Andrew Tridgell has written a blog post responding to complaints that he has begun using LLM tools in his work maintaining rsync: Like many developers of open source packages I've been hit by a flood of security reports lately in my role as the rsync maintainer. Many of those reports are AI generated (not all though, there are some notable ones with very careful and high quality manual analysis). As this flood started to get more intense I realised I needed to raise the defences on rsync a lot — we needed much more thorough test suites, code coverage analysis, CI testing on a lot more platforms, deliberate and thorough scanning for possible security issues (so I find at least some of them before other people!) and the addition of a whole lot of defence-in-depth hardening techniques. [...] Now to the future, because we're not done yet by a long shot. The security reports keep rolling in. I'm working on a bunch of CVEs right now. Luckily I've been joined by some other very good developers with great systems development skills and security knowledge. Some of these people came to my attention partly because of all the rage happening at the moment, so I get some rage storm clouds have silver linings. Watch out for some credits for some great new rsync developers in the next release.

Some years ago (after system disk failure) I needed to do a fresh install and I wasn't in a mood to repeat the Gentoo experience since I had no time. So the next obvious candidate was Arch, but me being lazy, went with Manjaro minimal for the "next next finish" installation experience. Almost immediately i switched to unstable to be in sync with arch and avoid AUR incompatibilities. Next step was putting ALHP core, extra, multilib as first priority. At some point CachyOS repos added to have clean access to their kernels and proton and whatever else. After recent Manjaro drama, I added regular Arch repos above the Manjaro (with reverse proxy magic). And of course I happily hope between Gnome and Cosmic desktops depending on the mood. So the base Manjaro install became mostly Arch with occasional Manjaro branding and configs. submitted by /u/_BDYB_ [link] [comments]

Canonical’s Steam Snap for ARM64 is now stable

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 22:15:01 +0200

Canonical has bumped its Steam Snap for ARM64 to the stable channel. First announced in January, the snap has been tested across ARM64 hardware including the NVIDIA DGX Spark, Radxa Orion O6 and Lenovo ThinkPad X13s, with Canonical now reporting ‘solid performance’ across many popular games. Valve doesn’t provide a native ARM Linux client (not yet, anyway), so Canonical bundles the Intel/AMD Steam binary with the FEX emulator. The stable release of the Steam snap for ARM64 exposes FEX’s configuration options to users, including its library forwarding (“thunking”) toggles, of which which Mitchell Augustin, a software engineer on Canonical’s NVIDIA DGX […] You're reading Canonical’s Steam Snap for ARM64 is now stable , a blog post from OMG!

[$] Caching for extended attributes

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 20:35:52 +0200

Extended attributes (xattrs) provide a way to attach key/value metadata to inodes—files, directories, and the like—in a filesystem. As with many Linux filesystems, the FUSE filesystem supports xattrs. In a filesystem-track session at the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, FUSE maintainer Miklos Szeredi led a discussion about caching xattrs in kernel memory; he would like to create some common infrastructure that could be used by FUSE and shared with other filesystems.

Was on LMDE for couple years now - tried MX Linux

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 16:02:50 +0200

I came to Linux when MS went total batshit.. LMDE was a deep-concerned choice of numerous recommendations and it did fit quite well.. Long story short: having brought up a headless (kinda) Debian server, I’ve settled on that main branch of Linux for myself. Now, I’ve finally managed to nearly kill my LMDE and having to do a complete fresh install, I’ve decided to try something different; and the choice of today was MX Linux Xfce edition… I tried it and with all the perks and attempts of beautification (and to be clear, I do not even have wallpapers on any of my computers since like 2005 - I am not a beautification nor “monitoring via dashboards non-stop” nor a gamer of even a minesweeper or a Mahjong) all look AND FEEL so MS-DOS era, although the highest resolution main default background image does strike somewhat interesting… Even shorter - I am going back to LMDE, with its even more limited than Debian’s selection of soft and all that; it just feels ”more right”, IMHO submitted by /u/SnBrd3 [link] [comments]

[$] Trying to make sense of package-manager metadata

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 15:33:43 +0200

Package managers for operating systems and programming languages have been around for decades. Each package manager, and its accompanying packaging format, has been shaped by the needs of its respective ecosystem, but there is a growing need to make use of package metadata for more than software management: for example, in vulnerability scans, software bills of materials (SBOMs), and more. On May 19, Damián Vicino spoke at the Open Source Summit North America 2026 about his experiences in the past year trying to make sense of the varied metadata provided by more than 20 package managers.

Vim Classic 8.3 released

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 15:13:37 +0200

Version 8.3 of Vim Classic has been released. This is the first release of the Vim fork since the project was announced in March. This release is based on Vim 8.2.0148, with a number of bug fixes and patches conservatively backported from future versions of Vim upstream. We elected to clean up this version of Vim, prepare it for a release, and imagine an alternate history where Vim 8.3 was released without Vim9 script. The result is Vim Classic 8.3. We chose to take this approach in order to reduce the long-term maintenance burden of Vim Classic, acknowledging that our fork lacks the resources and institutional knowledge available to Vim upstream. However, a consequence is that there are some Vim plugins which are not compatible with Vim Classic. We have made a special effort to assess patches from Vim upstream which mitigate some of the many CVEs affecting Vim which were discovered and fixed between versions 8.2 and modern-day Vim, but we can't be sure we've got all of the security patches which are applicable to Vim Classic (and practically exploitable). This version of Vim Classic is therefore recommended for early adopters who are comfortable adopting a security posture which accounts for the fact that we may have overlooked some bugs. LWN covered Vim Classic and another Vim fork, EVi, in April.

patent: a terminal tool that searches 11 registries to tell you if your idea already exists

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 08:46:33 +0200

I’ve spent way too much time reinventing tools that already exist. To save myself the trouble, I builtpatentwhich is a CLI utility that searches 11 open-source ecosystems from your terminal to see if your idea is actually original. It’s designed to be a "prior-art" search for code. You describe an idea, and it fans out requests to crates.io, npm, PyPI, Go, Maven, NuGet, RubyGems, Docker Hub, VS Code Marketplace, GitHub, and Hacker News. Why this fits the Linux philosophy: Local & Private: Everything that can run locally, does. The ranking (embeddings) and the analysis (Ollama) happen entirely on your machine. No cloud LLMs, no tracking, no telemetry. It only hits the public registries for the search itself. TUI-focused: Built with ratatui. You get full filtering, sorting, and mouse support in the terminal, or you can use --json to pipe results into your own scripts. Transparent Architecture: It doesn't claim to "know" everything—it's designed to prove what exists. A clean result just means keep looking, not that you've got a guaranteed winner. Modular/Optional AI: If you don't want to run a local LLM, --fast mode skips the analysis and just gives you the raw, ranked list. Getting started: You can install it with cargo install patent. (I’m currently working on prebuilt binaries and a proper install script for the next release). Repo: https://github.com/r14dd/patent - I would appreciate a star! Note: This software's code is partially AI-assisted (embeddings/Ollama integration). submitted by /u/r14dd [link] [comments]

new app - Whisp - Anti Note for gnome

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 20:17:55 +0200

I was watching a random Mac apps video by Snazzy Labs, and he showed an app called Anti Note. I wanted something similar for GNOME that felt native, fast, and fluid. So, I built Whisp. Whisp is not Google Docs, Obsidian, or Notion. It is supposed to be the Anti-Note but for GNOME. It’s designed strictly for the GNOME desktop using GTK4 and Libadwaita. It completely abandons traditional file hierarchies in favor of a spatial, swipeable canvas. Features: Touchpad Swiping: Fluidly swipe left/right to move between your active notes. (You can also use keyboard shortcuts to navigate). Live Markdown: Real-time formatting with a WYSIWYG toggle to instantly hide syntax. Native Paper Themes: Switch between Dotted, Grid, or Blank backgrounds. Instant: It only renders your active notes, making it incredibly lightweight and fast. Smart Paste: Features like Plain Paste and a built-in URL Link shortener. This is my very first app release for GNOME, and I am still learning things! I am going to be adding many more features, and my long-term goal is to move this app to GNOME Circle, though I know that is a long road. You can check it out here: 🔗 Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.tanaybhomia.Whisp 🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/tanaybhomia/Whisp Please check it out, give it a try, and feel free to file issues! New things are coming soon. P.S. I have attached some photos, but they don't show the movement of the app/gestures because I don't know how to record proper videos on Linux yet. If anyone can record and send me a nice demo video, it would help me a lot for the website and GitHub repo! submitted by /u/Baajjii [link] [comments]

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back: CA's AB 1856 Exempts Open Source Operating Systems, But Expands Age-Gating

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 23:36:42 +0200

California lawmakers are moving closer to exempting open-source operating systems from the sweeping age-bracketing regime mandated by last year’s Digital Age Assurance Act (AB 1043). The bill still jeopardizes internet users’ speech, privacy, and security. submitted by /u/EFForg [link] [comments]

Play Catan in your terminal with El Poblador, a FOSS clone

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 01:09:47 +0200

El Poblador is a fully playable Settlers of Catan clone that runs entirely in your terminal. Written in Go by developer vicho, El Poblador is a compete rendition of the iconic competitive board game, which is all about resources, trading, building settlements and blocking your opponents. All of Catan’s core mechanics are accounted for, albeit free of the tactile joy of handling and placing tiny wooden blocks in the real game. It’s a game designed for 3-4 players, so you’ll want to huddle around a laptop or on a PC to play it. You use arrow keys to navigate the […] You're reading Play Catan in your terminal with El Poblador, a FOSS clone, a blog post from OMG! Ubuntu. Do not reproduce elsewhere without permission.

Ombredanne: An AI agent ported our codebase from Python to Rust

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 22:55:10 +0200

Over on the AboutCode blog, lead maintainer Philippe Ombredanne writes about an agentic LLM system porting the ScanCode Toolkit to Rust. In the process, the LLM (or the people behind it) infringed the ScanCode trademark, stripped copyright and license notices, "and started an outreach campaign, without ever engaging the AboutCode community". Ironically, the toolkit is used to scan source code and binaries in order to figure out licensing and copyright information; it also reports on package dependencies, vulnerabilities, and more. This is worth repeating: A comprehensive test suite, decent documentation, and curated datasets is what makes automated porting possible. It is also what makes a codebase easier to replicate without understanding it. The agent's initial approach, using an existing Rust license-detection library, failed to match ScanCode's output quality. The agent then did what any translator would do when a loose paraphrase fails: it copied the original more closely. The final port reproduces ScanCode's core algorithms, code organization, and data-driven architecture in Rust, not because the agent understood them, but because it had enough training data and test feedback to converge on equivalent code.

Flathub bans AI-coded apps – with some exceptions

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 19:08:45 +0200

You’ll have to sift through fewer vibe-coded apps on Flathub in future, as the store has announced a policy change on software made using AI tools. Flathub, the de-facto place to find and install Flatpak applications, is banning the use of “AI” coded applications and automated submissions going forward. It’s not a blanket ban – mature projects with AI code are allowed A change to the store’s policy note says “applications containing AI-generated or AI-assisted code, documentation, or other content are not allowed”. A carve out will allow “mature, well-maintained projects” to include AI generated code and use AI tools […] You're reading Flathub bans AI-coded apps – with some exceptions, a blog post from OMG!

[$] Representing the true signatures of kernel functions

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 20:59:43 +0200

Optimizing compilers can, under some circumstances, infer when a parameter to a function is not needed, and remove it. This is all well and good until the kernel's tracing or BPF subsystems need information on how to call the function or where its arguments are stored. Alan Maguire and Yonghong Song spoke at the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit about their work on recording information regarding changed function signatures in the kernel's BTF debugging information, to better support tracing such functions.

[$] Reconsidering x32 — again

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 16:22:19 +0200

The x32 ABI was meant to be the best of both worlds, providing the expanded registers and instruction set of the x86-64 architecture while preserving the lower memory use of 32-bit systems. The Linux kernel has supported x32 since the 3.4 release in 2012. The initial excitement around x32 did not last, though, and kernel developers are considering removing that support — and not for the first time. Even the most unloved features tend to have a few users, though, making removal hard.

Multiple redhat-cloud-services npm packages compromised (StepSecurity Blog)

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 16:05:04 +0200

StepSecurity is reporting that a number of npm packages in the @redhat-cloud-services scope include malware that runs automatically on every npm install: The payload is a multi-stage credential harvester that sweeps GitHub Actions secrets along with AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, HashiCorp Vault, npm, and CircleCI tokens, and it is purpose-built to evade detection, including an explicit attempt to bypass StepSecurity Harden-Runner. StepSecurity analyzed @redhat-cloud-services/host-inventory-client@5.0.3 in full. Its index.js, executed at install time, is 4.2 MB, a file that should weigh a few kilobytes, with the real payload buried under three separate layers of obfuscation. The malware is also a self-propagating worm: using stolen npm tokens and npm's bypass_2fa parameter, it republishes backdoored versions of other packages on its own, even against accounts protected by two-factor authentication, so every infected machine can seed the next wave with no attacker involvement. All affected packages were published via GitHub Actions OIDC from the RedHatInsights/javascript-clients repository, indicating the upstream CI/CD pipeline itself was compromised. Analysis of the remaining packages is ongoing. A blog post from SafeDep has additional analysis about the incident. We did not find an advisory from Red Hat on this yet.
