Rilasciata pearOS NiceC0re 26.2: novità e miglioramenti della nuova versione #pearOS è una giovane distribuzione #gnulinux che negli ultimi anni ha conquistato crescente attenzione grazie al suo approccio orientato all’esperienza utente e alla cura per i dettagli visivi. Dal punto di vista tecnico, pearOS si basa su Arch Linux, una rolling release ad aggiornamento continuo. L’ambiente grafico scelto è KDE Plasma.
They are "Open Weights." This means the company allows you to run the model, but you have no right to see how it was made or what data it was trained on.
We need to stop letting companies redefine "Open Source" to mean "available for download." Words have meanings.
If a company claims they are open source but plans to "someday" release the code, or hides the training data, they are a poser. This is "Open Washing." They are co-opting the term to earn the community's goodwill for marketing without actually respecting the four freedoms.
I thought it might be fun to share the current Terminal Tilt workload and the state of things for February 2026.
We recently crossed 1000 subscribers (currently at 1033) and 100,000 views since starting the channel in December. That is pretty amazing and it shows there is a thirst for honest #NoAI Linux based videos that explore all things technology (especially privacy).
The "Sovereign Authentication" Series Video 0 of the hardware security key series is already live (published Feb 9!). Today was a heavy production day, I recorded the voiceovers for 3 of the 4 remaining videos. I have one more VO to capture, and then the heavy lifting begins in Kdenlive.
Each video usually takes me between 2 and 8 hours to edit. I’ve already finished the thumbnails, so once that final recording is done (hopefully tomorrow, depending on life in general), I’m jumping straight into the timeline.
Once the security series wraps, I am looking at my 4-year-old Keychron Q1 V2. I have heavily modified it, lubed Gateron Ink v2 Blacks, custom padding, and keycaps. That video will serve as a primer for future keyboard reviews, followed immediately by a look at the Epomaker TH99 Pro currently sitting in the box next to my desk.
In the future, I am also working on:
A look at the Divoom Pixoo 64 (pixel art display) and the Fanttik E2 Ultra electric screwdriver.
A giant overview of ~50 Debian-based (non-Ubuntu) distros. I have had requests for "shiny" trend chasing distros like CachyOS, but I am resisting chasing the views.
I am researching Linux-friendly networking equipment for future reviews, probably going to look at a few switches.
I am also exploring the potential of doing live streaming. I have concerns about doing it on YouTube as their algorithm can penalize your long-form videos when you post VODs from past streams. I might just start streaming on Twitch, but that audience doesn't seem to fit what we are building. OwnCast would be ideal but I don't think my homelab is ideal for that setup. I could stream on PeerTube but I am also worried about filling up my allotted storage with VODs on my instance.
Some ideas I have had for a live streaming are things like maintenance of my Thinkpad by cleaning and reapplying thermal paste, or we could do "Sysadmin Sundays Mornings" where I update and maintain all of the systems I am responsible for, or even blindly exploring obscure and unique distros together. We could also just do some Linux Gaming. We will see, no promises.
I have a .md file overflowing with ideas, so there is plenty more to come. Thanks for following the journey!
Is it just me, or has "It's FOSS" lost their way on the "FOSS" part? :tux:
I find it incredibly frustrating for FOSS resources normalizing the use of proprietary tools like Vivaldi and Chrome.
Looking at their recent "Better Linux User" graphic and half of the named options are proprietary (Chrome, Vivaldi). It feels like the brand is becoming a superficial site for Linux-lite rather than a resource for software freedom.
This is not the first time they have done this. Actually, they regularly post articles promoting proprietary tools. Here are a few I found just doing a quick search:
Also, that penguin art looks suspiciously like AI generation (I understand, I could be wrong about this). If you look at their recent social media and featured images, I think you can see the shift from human made graphics to AI-generated images with typical artifacts.
It is disappointing to see such a popular presence on the Fediverse prioritize clicks over principles.
AerynOS dice “No”ai modelli LLM e all’AI generativa #aerynos è una distribuzione #gnulinux atomica e immutabile progettata attorno ai pilastri di #privacy sicurezza e sostenibilità.Coerentemente con questi valori, il progetto ha stabilito l’esclusione di qualsiasi integrazione con i modelli (LLM) nelle versioni future. Questa scelta è motivata da 3 obiettivi fondamentali:Trasparenza e Sovranità dei Dati, Sostenibilità Ambientale, Integrità del Progetto.

bruhbeans Agreed. Doesn't Android 16 already have the ability to "run Linux as an app?" Even on Android 15 and earlier people do this using @
termux, proot, etc.
The dodgy surveillance OSes, Google Android and #Microslop Windows, get installed on the device, while the trustworthy OS, Debian #GNULinux, gets installed as a constrained and restricted app?
"We thought big and acted boldly. In this talk End Of 10 contributors will discuss the campaign, what has worked and what the challenges have been, and how FOSS provides a solution to software-driven resource and energy consumption."
Rilasciata Rhino Linux 2025.4:Arrivano Lomiri e kernel Linux Aggiornati #rhinolinux è una distribuzione #gnulinux basata su Ubuntu, caratterizzata da un modello di sviluppo a rilascio continuo (rolling release). Il progetto si distingue per l’utilizzo di Unicorn, un ambiente desktop personalizzato, e per l’integrazione del gestore di pacchetti Pacstall, che semplifica l’installazione di software non presente nei repository software ufficiali.
Mamma li Turchi:Pardus dimostra come #gnulinux funziona davvero nel settore pubblico
Mentre l’Europa discute dell’idea di un EuroLinux e della sovranità digitale,la Turchia,con la sua distribuzione #pardus dimostra che un progetto del genere non è solo possibile,ma può anche avere successo su larga scala nel settore pubblico.Pardus, rappresenta un esempio concreto di come una soluzione #opensource possa sostituire efficacemente il software proprietario.
🕰️ 10 Anni di GNU-Linux: Vediamo il mio primo video! 🤯
Dieci anni fa caricavo il mio primissimo video su YouTube, parlando di Linux Mint 17.2! 🤯 Oggi, dopo un decennio di avventure, scoperte e tantissime distribuzioni provate, torno indietro nel tempo per rivedere quel momento insieme con tutti voi.
There is a person on the left saying, "No! I will not switch to Linux", with knives coming out of their mouth.
On the right is another person getting hit with said knives, with Tux, the mascot of Linux, being hit specifically on their chest; they are also bleeding from where the knives hit.
Beschluss des Bündnis-Rats des Internationalistischen Bündnisses, 19.10.2025; veröffentlicht am 6.11.2025
Am 14. Oktober stellte Microsoft den Support für #windows10 ein. Microsoft wird keine Sicherheitslücken mehr schließen. Eine Verlängerung des Supports gibt es im Prinzip nur für Firmenkunden. Die Hardware-Anforderungen für #Windows 11 hat Microsoft künstlich hoch angesetzt, um möglichst viele Benutzerinnen und Benutzer zu zwingen, bei einem Update auf Windows 11 direkt einen neuen Rechner zu kaufen und damit Geld in die Kasse des Tech-Monopols zu spülen.
Damit zieht Microsoft nicht nur seinen Kunden das Geld aus der Tasche, sondern verursacht auch eine völlig vermeidbare Umweltkatastrophe – nach niedrigen Schätzungen sind ca. 60 % aller in Deutschland betriebenen Privat- und Firmenrechner von Microsoft nicht für das Update auf Windows 11 vorgesehen! Wenn es nach dem milliardenschweren #Konzern geht, sollen für seinen #Profit weltweit hunderte Millionen, wenn nicht Milliarden Rechner auf dem Schrott landen, obwohl sie einwandfrei funktionieren und eine absolut ausreichende Leistung haben. Stattdessen sollen oft schlechtere Neugeräte angeschafft werden, für deren Produktion sinnlos #Energie und #Ressourcen verschwendet werden!
Der Bündnis-Rat begrüßt deshalb die internationale Initiative „End of 10!“ ( #endof10 /
@Endof10 ) als praktische Maßnahme gegen die maßlose #Umweltzerstorung aus #Profitgier und das diesbezügliche Projekt des
@Linkes_Forum zur Vermittlung des Wissens zur Verwendung von GNU/Linux anstelle von Microsoft Windows. Das InterBündnis unterstützt diese Projekte im Rahmen des Informations- und Erfahrungsaustausches.
🔘 Other: :gnu: GNU's Not Unix, literally, and it is the actual operating system I spend all my programming time on, not plain "Linux". Linux — or, even better, :freedo: GNU Linux-libre — is the kernel it uses, just like others do, such as Android.
If we call everything the same, then macOS qualifies as Unix too—let's try more generic terms such as "POSIX" or "Unix-like".
All these projects deserve their distinct recognition.
I see your point, and I understand the operating system definition can depend on the context—whether you see it as just the kernel or the complete system.
I'm not sure if even the
@fsf would fully endorse my view, but I find their logic compelling. Here is the central question: unless you are running a pure kernel like #Linux by itself (a project focused on a #kernel, hosted at kernel.org), then calling the entire system "Linux" isn't a meaningful name for a complete, usable #OS. I recognize what people usually refer to as "Linux" is, in fact, a system designed to be #GNU.
To illustrate: if we apply the logic of naming the whole system after its kernel, then why do we call it "Android" and not just "Linux"? After all, #Android uses Linux too, yet we correctly recognize it as a distinct system.
So why is GNU so often forgotten and replaced by "Linux" when talking about personal or server computers? (Only in this context?) I believe this isn't accidental—it often overlooks the deeper vision of a project designed from the start to ensure software freedom for its users.
When we are running only the kernel (whatever the purpose may be), then by all means, let's call the OS "Linux." But when it's part of a larger, distinct system—like the GNU OS—then it should be recognized as such.
I'd like to add a final thought: I know it can sometimes be annoying to insist on this when it seems that everyone understands what "Linux" means, even if we disagree with the term. But this is part of the advocacy—sometimes it involves emphasizing a technicality that may even be controversial, in order to reinforce public awareness of GNU and the philosophy of free software.
A brief debate like this one, right here, may be enough for someone to realize what GNU is, which is already a desired outcome. Who knows, it might even spark a flame of curiosity, leading them to research this fascinating topic further.
