I like this kind of rabbit holes. This gives a few interesting information on how forking processes behaves on Linux.

Funny reverse engineering of the latest SteamOS to use it in a different context. Give some information on their system design.

Interesting deep dive about how network stacks work in kernel or in user land. Also provides some insight on how to improve the kernel stack.

Very needed evangelization. Go forth and make apps for Linux!

Interesting, the situation for kernel maintainers is actually harder than I thought. You'd expect more of them could do the maintainer job on work time...

Interesting and unfortunate security issue... This is admittedly a somewhat unusual setup though, but to be kept in mind I think.

Indeed, at this point it's not that people don't want to switch. Very often they just don't have a choice.

Don't be fooled of the title. Yes, it concludes about an opinion piece about the latest changes in policy around RHEL. Still, it starts with a very nice retelling of the history around UNIX and computing since the 70s. This is an invaluable resource.

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.
