Banana Pi has previewed the BPI-SM9 16-ENC-A3, a compact deep learning compute module built around the SOPHGO BM1688 processor. The module is described as targeting low-power AI workloads, hardware video acceleration, and mixed-precision neural inference across microservers, edge systems, industrial platforms, and AIoT devices. The BM1688 datasheet does not appear to be available on the […]

In this blog post, we will explain how to install Git on Debian 13 OS. Git is a free and open-source distributed version control system that manages the code changes in files among multiple developers. The main characteristic of Git is its distributed nature, which means that every developer has a complete copy of the entire project locally.

Today, the Debian Project announced the release and general availability of Debian 13.2 as the second update to the latest Debian GNU/Linux 13 “Trixie” operating system series.

We did it again, Fedora at Kirinyaga university in Kenya. This time, we didn’t just introduce what open source is – we showed students how to participate and actually contribute in real time. Many students had heard of open source before, but were not sure how to get started or where they could fit. We […]

The Mesa 25.3 open-source graphics stack has been released today as a major update with new features, improvements for the built-in open-source graphics drivers, and better support for many video games.

This post is an immediate follow up for Fedora 43 KVM Hypervisor && bring CachyOS KDE Plasma 6.5.1 along with kernel to Arch Linux VM ( https://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/358937/index.html ) It is quite clear that there is a way to automatically start services virtstoraged, virtnetworkd, virtqemud, virtnodedevd on Arch Linux VM , however I was not lucky enough to automate this procedure.

Python is a great programming language, but it might not always be the best choice. For Linux administrators, bash shell scripting might often be a better choice. Shell scripting is easier to learn and faster to implement, especially for busy administrators who don't have time to learn a more complex language.
