Starting from WSL version 2.4.8, we can install Ubuntu on WSL from a tar file, without using the Microsoft Store on Windows.

The Axon platform, powered by the RockChip RK3588S processor, combines an 8-core CPU and an NPU delivering up to 6 TOPS of AI performance. Designed for advanced computing tasks, it supports various LLMs, including Llama, Qwen, and DeepSeek, with benchmarks showcasing performance for AI workloads.

So the pattern seems increasingly clear; a lot of anti-Linux 'articles' are made by bots. Is that Microsoft's ChatGPT?

vv is different from the vast majority of image viewers. It’s a small command-line program to view images from the terminal.

The Mozilla Thunderbird 135 open-source email, calendar, news, chat, and contactbook client was released today alongside the Mozilla Firefox 135 web browser with various new features and many bug fixes.

With Linux 6.14-rc1 released I have begun trying out the new development kernel on a few systems locally. At least for high core count hardware tested thus far, Linux 6.14 at the moment during this early testing phase is sporting some performance regressions within some multi-threaded workloads.

iWave Systems says the STM32MP133/STM32MP135 OSM SBC supports Linux 6.1.28 (or higher). The company provides some public documentation accessible immediately after leaving your email (brochure, datasheet, STEP file), but the Linux documentation and SBC can only be accessed after talking to sales.

In a blog post, Christian Schaller, Red Hat’s Director of Software Engineering, shares Fedora Linux’s 2025 plans and upcoming features.

This blog post will explain everything about Linux processes, such as how to check and manage them easily. In Linux, a “process” is any active instance of a program. Many threads execute the process, and there are different process models.

Some worry multi-lang codebase makes it harder to maintain open source uber-project, others disagree. Developers trying to add Rust code to the Linux kernel continue to face opposition from kernel maintainers who believe using multiple languages is an unwelcome and risky complication.

Can't see Windows in Grub after successfully dual booting? That's because os-prober is disabled. Here's how to fix it.

The heated debate about including Rust in the Linux kernel has been ongoing for quite some time in the hacker community.

As somewhat of an annual tradition for the FOSDEM conference, Daniel Kiper of Oracle presented a status update on the GRUB bootloader. As one of the GRUB maintainers he offers great insight to activity around this most common Linux bootloader.

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) user? If so, you will be pleased to hear that Ubuntu is now available in Microsoft’s new tar-based distro format — no need to use the sluggish Microsoft Store.

Back in October 2024, Respawn announced they were blocking Apex Legends on Linux platforms (including Steam Deck). Apparently this has worked quite well for them.

It kind of goes by under the radar, but aside from HP-UX, Solaris, and AIX, there’s another traditional classic UNIX still in active development today: UnixWare (and its sibling, OpenServer). Owned and developed by Xinuos, UnixWare and other related code and IP was acquired by them when the much-hated SCO crashed and burned about 15 years ago or so, and they’ve been maintaining it ever since.

The next major Debian release, 13 "Trixie," is expected to ship with GNOME 48 desktop environment.

Saying “I use Arch, btw” has become an iconic part of the Linux community over the years. Whenever a person installs Arch Linux, they automatically get the right to say those words anywhere they please, on online forums, sure, in a random encounter with a stranger, why not?

The Linux giant envisions AI development that mirrors open-source software's collaborative ethos. That won't be easy.

For those wondering whether Debian 13 would see the upcoming GNOME 48 desktop packages given the upcoming Debian 13 "Trixie" development freezes, it looks like this updated GNOME release will be squeezed in.
