The Snap package manager is a modern package manager in Linux that allows you to install Snap packages across a wide range of Linux distributions and versions. In this tutorial, I will show you how to install and use Snap Package Manager on Alma Linux 8.

The Linux Mint project has announced version 5 of its Debian edition, code-named Elsie. Linux Mint is one of the longest-running and most polished distros downstream of Ubuntu, and really took off after Ubuntu switched to the controversial Unity desktop with 11.04. Around that time, Mint 12 retained a Windows-like look and feel that later evolved into the Cinnamon desktop.

Want to use Linux on your Chromebook? Check out these eight distributions that offer better features and enhanced performance than Chrome OS.

The Linux set and pipefail commands dictate what happens when a failure occurs in a Bash script. There’s more to think about than should it stop or should it carry on.

The lead developer of the bcachefs filesystem is gunning to get it accepted into the Linux kernel… again. The story of bcachefs is quite long-running, and this isn't the first time – nor even the first time this year the project has attempted this. The filesystem has been around for a while; The Reg first reported on it in 2015. But it looks like it's getting closer to its goal.

In this guide, we will present some of the commonly used command-line-based tools for monitoring system performance. We are using Ubuntu 20.04 OS for this guide, although the tools we are going to discuss are available for most Linux-based distros.

The AlmaLinux OS Foundation is pulling in new members from the world of mainframes, hosting and IT services to contribute to the project and deliver a community-supported Linux compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

Mistral’s “AI-SFK Lite” system runs Linux on its Jetson Xavier NX powered Neuron Base Board Basic with a 250GB SSD, GbE, HDMI 2.0, CAN, etc., and adds Mistral’s 77GHz mmWave Radar module and a CSI-based 8MP/4K camera.

Last year, the Graph Foundation had to rethink how it develops and distributes its Open Native Graph Database (ONgDB) after it settled a trademark and copyright claim by database biz Neo4j. The Graph Foundation agreed [PDF] it would no longer claim specific versions of ONgDB, its Neo4j Enterprise Edition fork, are a "100 percent free and open source version" of Neo4J EE. And last month, two other companies challenged by Neo4j – PureThink and iGov – were also required by a court ruling to make similar concessions.

What's not to love about Java? I love that Java lets me write applications on one platform and run them on other platforms. You don't have to mess around with platform-specific SDKs, using a different library for that one platform, or inserting little code hacks to make that other platform behave. To me, that's how easy all modern programming ought to be. There's great infrastructure around Java, too, like the Maven build system and SDKMan.

As an open source enthusiast, I've used dozens (hundreds?) of libraries that are well beyond my skill or interest as a programmer. For a lot of people, including me, the available libraries are one of the things that makes a particular programming language worth using.

Microsoft has released the March-2022 update for CBL-Mariner, but the version number hasn't budged from 1.0. Yes, the Windows giant has had its own Linux distro since September 2020, but don't get too excited. It's very small, very minimalist and overall not very exciting – which is of course just what you want from something to host your cloudy containers. Some seven months on from the first update, this one fixes a bunch of security holes and upgrades a few components but doesn't add much new functionality.

If Kubernetes is so complicated that even Google is automating its setup, then it's worth paying attention when U.S. spy giant, the National Security Agency (NSA) points to strengthening it.

Podman is well known for its seamless integration into modern Linux systems, and supporting systemd is a cornerstone in these efforts. Linux commonly uses the systemd init system to manage local services such as web servers, container engines, network daemons, and all of their interdependencies. Extending these more traditional Linux system administration practices with the modern world of containers is a natural evolution.

After the project reorganized its version numbering, GNOME 42 consolidates the ongoing modernization effort. Bear in mind, we're describing the release candidate, so some of the details might change before it comes out.

Waveshare’s $25 “CM4-Duino” carrier for the Raspberry Pi CM4 has an Arduino Uno form factor and GPIO plus USB 2.0, HDMI, MIPI-CSI, and an M.2 M-key slot for a wireless module or NVMe storage.
