A good reminder that Linux based systems can be slimmed down quite a bit. Can come in handy for specific devices.
Interesting read, this is really tricky to measure such latency. It looks like we might have room for improvements on latency still. Curious to see if the proposed fixes will make it in kwin.
Good primer on systemd timers. Indeed it's really one of the nice systemd features.
Indeed, teams reach out to Yocto by default a bit too much. It's good to have an idea on when you really needed and when you can go for simpler options.
Good post to have an idea of the modern IO APIs available.
Microsoft has been deploying new CA certificates late... Now distros have to wake up and prepare new signatures for their shims quickly.
fork() doesn't want to die. But help is coming it seems. Maybe the day it disappears from kernels is "near".
We've seen a stream of those security issues lately. It says something about the security practice in the industry right now. Things need to be improved.
Indeed, the giant managed to make itself weak. This means opportunities for other ecosystems to grow faster than before.
Looks like an important Wine 11. Well done to them!
Long and comprehensive look at how zswap and zram work. They each bring their own tradeoffs, it's important to understand them to choose.
An initiative to monitor I guess. There's clearly a need for a more "opinionated" setup for Yocto based embedded systems, this is going in that direction.
A good one page primer on how terminal emulators are designed.
Interesting setup for self hosting on immutable infrastructure using bootc.
Still very young but it looks like it might become a nice and friendly alternative to strace.
This is indeed an excellent technical documentation wiki for the Linux ecosystem.
Looks like the trend continues. Let's hope the Linux desktop user base will keep growing this year.
Interesting point... What to do when there's no good option in the application runtime for the needed graphics drivers and kernel combination?
Another call for gamers to switch to Linux. Let's see if the numbers are following in 2026.
The situation about file locking is really complicated in the Unix systems family.
