Open source digital painting with Krita

Krita is a digital paint application that's seen use at major film production houses, book publishers, and art studios.

What if we said you could turn any disk into a multi-boot OS installer for free without touching a single config file?

Ventoy is a free tool that turns any USB key into a multi-boot wonder. Even if you're not a distro-hopping FOSS fundie, having a few bootable USB keys around is handy.

Another Debian dust-up with Firefox dependencies – but there is an annoying and awkward workaround

Debian is having problems with a current version of Firefox that leaves users with a dangerously outdated browser. One of the grey-bearded elders of the Linux distro world, Debian has had issues with Mozilla before.
