Linux kernel 6.0 is out now

... though the comment I really wanted to make was that it's a little odd to see Linus receiving an award from Intel. He's been pretty vocal about their 'crap products', & recently too.

Quoting: ElectricPrism& the CS department as UC Berkeley who unleashed proprietary AT&T UNIX into the world as BSD (without which the trajectory of commercial/household internet in the 90s would've looked a lot different); & the Free Software Foundation whose anniversary is coming up in a week or so. - an annoying pedantic point to be sure, but I think it's worth keeping in mind.Quoting: StalePopcornAs far as computing is concerned, thank God for Linux for end users—true freedom, true choice. IMHOBig THANK YOU to everyone in Linux, the digital freedom of humanity is made possible because of all of us. We may have even averted a Digital Dark Age and incalculable disparity & suffering in the future because of what we've done here today in the now.

I reinstalled it -- to find that I'm horribly rusty, as I can't survive beyond 12 seconds on Hard (the easiest difficulty is called 'Hard', btw). My record is 87 seconds on Hard, & 20-something on Harder.
I imagine this would be really fun to play on Steam Deck.

Fedora Linux 36 is officially out now

It's also a pretty bold ... if not reckless ... move to have the KDE spin launch the Wayland version by default. Plasma Wayland has been making great progress lately, but a few serious 'showstoppers' are still intact: https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland_Showstoppers [External Link]
I've been using Fedora KDE on intel graphics for the past week or so; and I absolutely love it. In my experience nvidia has been a bit iffy on Fedora KDE even with X11.

I recently found out about this new SVG editor: https://boxy-svg.com/ [External Link]
It's an electron app ... that's a bit disappointing, of course (?!) though I think the interface is pretty clearly laid out, & they've put the browser console to very good use by turning it into a live svg editor.
I wouldn't know about the needs of pro users; though as an amateur who frequently needs to put together svgs, I really like this program.
note -- because it's available on Flathub, I just assumed that it's FOSS; but it's not. So that's an important caveat.

Quoting: Luca_PioThey can do all the versions they want, but as long as it remains an alternative to that crap CorelDRAW it won't go anywhere, because the interfaces of both software are anti-intuitive and not comparable to those of Adobe or Affinity.Absolutely, & the recent changes made the interface even more inconsistent. Parts of it look like a hobby project with panes changing size every time you click an option.

Quoting: rcritBut if you're game you could try https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/introduction-convert2rhel-now-officially-supported-convert-rhel-systems-rhel [External Link]The linked program doesn't convert to/from Fedora; I've checked since converting/'downgrading' Fedora to RHEL clones would be pretty useful to me. (I have an old Mac mini with a 32 bit bootloader, & I use it as my router with an extra ethernet dongle. The Fedora installer works out of the box with it, since it comes with the correct boot image & directory layout, which is a huge convenience -- because the alternative is to do manual partitioning, not forgetting to create an exotic 'Linux HFS+ ESP' partition, getting the right grubia32.efi, 'blessing' it with a Mac utility, bootstrapping a minimal system with dnf, then doing a chroot install). This being a router, I'd like to put something 'slow moving' on it; but RHEL clones don't play so well with a chroot installs; so, there.
Quoting: slaapliedjeTo be fair, with RHEL, you can upgrade. With CentOS, they purposefully broke it. It is one of the key differences. Granted CentOS is basically dead at this point.Yeah it's only CentOS Stream that has lost that ability. As to 'being dead', though; I'm not sure that it's right. The old CentOS got resurrected into not one but two distros, AlmaLinux & Rocky Linux; & the 'new CentOS' looks like it's doing very useful work for Red Hat. If Alma & Rocky weren't able to come out so quickly, it would've been quite the disaster; but things worked out pretty well in the end.

I also use Fedora, btw.
(I've been a total convert to the RHEL 'ecosystem' for a while now; my router & VPS are on AlmaLinux, & I'm perfectly happy with all of them.)

At least 25 sheets per second!!!
