TeejeeTech takes Trixie, adds considerably more polish, yet comes in lighter Teejeetech turns its attention from Ubuntu to its progenitor. The result is a refined and attractive spin of Debian with Xfce.…

Before you start wondering about that age — yes, that’s 100000 in binary, or 0x20 years in hexadecimal. And as we all know, round numbers simply look cooler. ???? Debian was founded on 1993-08-16, which makes today our 0x20 anniversary.

While the Raspberry Pi 5 is a great and popular Arm single board computer, some elements of getting the hardware support upstream have lagged behind just as was also the case with prior generations of the Raspberry Pi SBC. One of the enablement bits now inching its way toward the mainline kernel is Ethernet support on the Raspberry Pi 5...

Meanwhile, the clock's ticking for the previous FOSS Redis Redis 8.2 is FOSS again, albeit under a different license, and has multiple performance enhancements. Meanwhile, Redis 7.2, the last of the old FOSS versions, is nearing its end of life. New version, or new Valkey?…

For most of the last decade, talk about Wayland on KDE sounded like a promise: stronger security, modern graphics, fewer legacy foot?guns, once the pieces land. With Plasma 6, those pieces finally clicked into place. Plasma 6.1 delivered two changes that go straight to how frames hit your screen, explicit synchronization and smarter buffering, while 6.2 followed with color?management and HDR work that makes creators and gamers care. Together, they turn “Wayland someday” into a desktop you can log into today without caveats.

As £9 billion MoU sparks debate about value for money, it's time to have your say Register debate series It's a lot of money, £9 billion ($12 billion). Especially for a government which finds itself — for whatever reason — in a fiscal dead end.…

A change queued in drm-misc-next for DRM-Next ahead of the Linux 6.18 kernel cycle later this year is promoting the Nouveau driver for open-source NVIDIA GPU support to be using the GSP firmware by default. This reflects the reality that using the NVIDIA GPU System Processor "GSP" firmware with Turing and Ampere GPUs should provide a better experience than the older firmware alternative with Nouveau...

The folks at iXsystems announced this afternoon that nightly builds of TrueNAS 25.10 are now available for testing of this Linux-based network attached storage (NAS) operating system. With TrueNAS 25.10 there are more performance improvements, improved installation process, initial support for 400GbE networking, and other enhancements to this ZFS-focused platform...

Libre Computer has shared new details on its upcoming Solitude and Alta Compute Modules, designed as pin-compatible alternatives to Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4) and Compute Module 5 (CM5) form factors.

For now at least - even though government buying can improve, open-source is not all its cracked up to be Debate Not for the first time, Microsoft is in the spotlight for the UK government's money it voraciously consumes – apparently £1.9 billion a year in software licensing, and roughly £9 billion over five years. Not surprisingly, there are plenty of voices challenging whether this is good use of public money. After all, aren't there plenty of open source alternatives?…
