Joshua Strobl of the Budgie Desktop team announced today the release of Budgie 10.6 as the latest stable version of this open-source, free, modern, and lightweight desktop environment for GNU/Linux distributions.

Argon Forty loves releasing cases with names that have permutations of the word “ONE.” So far we’ve had the Argon ONE (and M.2), NEO and now we have the EON.

A loop device is a pseudo-device which doesn’t correspond to a real, physical block device, but can be used to make a file appear and be treated like one. To manage loop devices on Linux, we can use the losetup command: the utility let us create new loop devices, detach them and retrieve information about existing ones.
