Sometimes I really regret Plan 9 didn't take off. So many good ideas and designs in there.

A good reminder that Flatpak is no silver bullet. It's a bit of a rant at times still it has some good points in particular the security implications are not always properly conveyed to the users. Some thinking might be required regarding what's lost compared to "traditional" packaging approaches.

This looks like a move in the right direction regarding desktop portals on Linux.

Looks like a smart and interesting little tool. I definitely needed something like it more than once.

Looks like a really neat tool for testing low level and kernel dependent details in a reproducible way.

Looks like nice projects. After all these years I'm still amazed at what people manage to achieve in their spare time when they get together to solve a problem.

Looks like a funny tool to generate music.

Indeed we're clearly in a transition period on the Linux ecosystem. If it all comes out to fruition it'll be better for everyone... in the meantime this throws quite some complexity at everyone (in particular for portability and deployment).

There it is... at least for the developers and gamers demographic.

OK, that looks like cool challenges to train your troubleshooting skills.

Very complicated software. If you ever wondered how it works. Now you know.

This is definitely a big deal both for the kernel and for Rust.

Alright, this one looks somewhat concerning...

Excellent deepdive about pipes, on the path to optimization we see how perf is used, how memory is managed by the kernel etc. Very thorough.

Interesting food for thought at places. In any case clearly highlight the difficulties of delivering application binaries on Linux platforms in a portable way.

Thank you indeed. The amount of upstream contributions their efforts fostered is enormous at this point.

Nice way to learn systemd uses.

This is good to see this is still making progress.

This is a bit of a rant but that summarizes quite well why I fail to fall in love with snap, flatpack and the likes. Everytime I tried to use one of those I ended up with GBs of extra runtime to deal with and the security arguments are frankly debatable... I wish the LSB wasn't defunct.

This is in the context of a game, but from my experience in other domains... this is definitely why you want Linux users when you make a product. Might not generate a lots of sales but the signal/noise ratio in the bug reports is just great.
