I didn't know about this project. This sounds interesting, smart use of mkosi to make an Incus tailored system.

Nice little website advocating for more use of the XDG base directory specification. This is still needed to push for it indeed.

Nice explanation of the very early steps leading to the kernel loading.

A good introduction at the early steps when a process is started. Covers what happens in the kernel, the ELF interpreter and your language runtime before the main function is called.

Let's have some well deserved praise. The product is definitely good, the community is great. Who said I'm biased?

We really have nice facilities in the kernel to squeeze some extra performance nowadays.

Or why competitive multiplayer games which anti-cheat probably will never make it to Linux. I'm not into this kind of games but this is an interesting piece on comparing the differences between the Linux and Windows kernels. It also show that with some care from the game developers, those anti-cheats might not be necessary in the first place.

That's a good point too often overlooked by people complaining at Wayland. It indeed enable form factors and uses cases that we couldn't address with X11.

It's a very important threshold to cross. Let's hope this momentum stays long enough.

You like weird bugs involving shell implementations, syscalls and filesystems? Somehow I do, this was an interesting one.

If you're behind on your updates, it's time to do it quickly.

Nice move. It doesn't have to be about rewriting everything in Rust. Still there are some areas where we can benefit from the language and sandboxing.

I'd say this is a sane rant. Indeed, there's more progress to do, it will probably never stop. What could stop though is throwing crap at the people who quietly put effort into making our desktops more accessible.

Looks like Linux is now the best operating system for gaming on the go.

A good reminder that writing CUPS printer drivers doesn't have to be complicated.

Flatpak is at a crossroad I'd say. The project really needs to find a way to move forward.

This is a funny setup. It's not very expensive either.

It is indeed in a weird state on Linux to say the least. Make sure to follow the links there, they lead to more precise resources.

Nice new tool from the Tor project. Looks like it'll make it really easy to push traffic to Tor from the command line.

Nice table of the Linux syscalls. You can search for them based on ABI and version. It even points to their definition.
