The eMudhra issue was so bad, it delayed Fedora 45 until November at the earliest

Better safe than sorry, though.

Running Ubuntu on WSL
I moved away from Ubuntu on bare metal to WSL, and my Windows 11 PC handles my everyday Linux tasks now

WSL is now responsible for my Linux misadventures

A laptop running OnlyOffice through Steam on Linux
Steam is a better way to run Windows apps on Linux than Wine, and it's not just for games

Proton is just better Wine

A limine bootloader screen showing a few different options
Linux's biggest problem for beginners isn't apps or games, it's the first time something breaks

Most novice users don't have to fight compatibility much anymore

Uninstalling Ollama on a Windows 11 laptop.
I'd pick a 10-year-old desktop running Linux over a new $300 Windows laptop every time

It's not even close, honestly.

I built a home lab on a PC that was headed to the recycling bin, and Proxmox made it free to run

The perfect way to reuse an old PC

A laptop running Linux and displaying a terminal window that shows the current clock speed of every core on the CPU
Linux 7.3 is out with some nice improvements for people with low VRAM AMD cards

A long-awaited fix.

A laptop running Fedora KDE, showing the System settings app and the Discover store
I keep trying to escape Fedora, but it's the perfect Linux distro for me

It's a good problem to have.

The new GNOME OS Preview is perfect for people who want something more stable than nightly

It's not totally stable yet, but it should be a lot better for regular use.

Linus calls banning AI-generated code "utterly stupid" as Linux submissions no longer need LLM disclosure

AI coding is here to stay for the Linux kernel.

list of VMs in proxmox's web UI
Your Proxmox VM is probably emulating hardware that hasn't existed for decades

Proxmox's default chipset for VMs is something from the 90s, but that's not necessarily a problem

A laptop showing system information on Fedora KDE Plasma
My Linux desktop fits on a USB drive, and it boots the same on any PC I use

My full setup, wherever I go

rsync command on alacritty terminal emulator
I was using rsync, find, sort, and tar wrong until I learned what their flags actually do

I've been Linux'ing in hard mode

Running Debian Linux on a jailbroken Kindle
I installed Debian on my Kindle, and it's now a pocketable terminal for my home server

A real Linux box that still reads books.

A Linux and a Windows laptop next to each other, both running UniGetUI and showing a list of available package updates
Linux doesn’t need antivirus the way Windows does, but not for the reason most people think

An archival compromise, sudo habits and AI fueled attacks reveal trust as the battleground for Linux security.

Accessing Fedora Silverblue
This obscure Fedora distro eliminates the one problem that makes people abandon Linux entirely

It ends the broken-package nightmare that scares beginners away from Linux

A Raspberry Pi 5 running LineageOS
The open-source mobile OS LineageOS upgrades to Android 17, escaping the ecosystem without losing the apps

It's the best of both worlds.

A bunch of LXCs running on a Proxmox host
I ditched Proxmox VMs and moved heavy projects to LXCs, and superior performance wasn’t the only benefit

The benefits go way beyond speed

Ubuntu login screen in the KDE Plasma desktop
KDE Plasma is getting its own "safe mode," and it'll start appearing sometime in Q4

It'll even help you find whatever's causing you grief.
