Fedora 27 released — The Workstation edition of Fedora 27 features GNOME 3.26. In the new release, both the Display and Network configuration panels have been updated, along with the overall Settings panel appearance improvement.
Firefox 57 arrives — It’s by far the biggest update we’ve had since we launched Firefox 1.0 in 2004
There’s an option for people who don’t like change — a fork of the Mozilla code-base pre-Servo/Rust… Basically for those not liking the direction of Firefox with v57 rolling out the Quantum changes, etc.
Ubuntu Unity 7 flavour might be on the horizon — A proposal to create a new community Ubuntu flavor which uses the Unity 7 desktop by default is gathering support within the Ubuntu community.
LTS kernel 4.14 released — Anyway, go out and test the new 4.14 release, that is slated to be the
next LTS kernel – and start sending me pull request for the 4.15 merge
window.
RISC-V support may be coming to 4.15 — RISC-V is hoping to see mainline with Linux 4.15. We’ve known for a while now about their mainline ambitions for 4.15 and a pull request was sent today, but it remains to be seen yet if Linus Torvalds will pull it for this merge window.
Red Hat announces ARM version of RHEL — Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 for ARM, the first commercial release for this architecture.
Oneplus backdoor — OnePlus accidentally left in place a diagnostic testing application made by Qualcomm. After decompiling this application, he discovered that it can be exploited to grant root access—effectively acting as a backdoor.

Matthew Miller – FedoraProject

Brought to you by: System76

I’ve been involved in Fedora since… a long time. I helped organize the first FUDCons at Boston University, worked on the original Fedora Legacy project, hacked on Anaconda for Boston University’s remix, and some other stuff (including maintaining a few packages). Now I work for Red Hat and am basically paid to care about Fedora full time, as Fedora Project Leader. I’m involved in the Cloud SIG and hacking on the Fedora Cloud Image. I’m also on FESCo (the Fedora technical steering committee) and generally interested in anything and everything related to Fedora’s success (so, correspondingly, please feel free to complain to me about anything).

DEFT 8.2 ready for download | DEFT Linux – Computer Forensics live CD

Distribution Release: DEFT Linux 8.2 (DistroWatch.com News)

DEFT (Digital Evidence & Forensic Toolkit) is a customised distribution of the Ubuntu live Linux CD. It is an easy-to-use system that includes excellent hardware detection and some of the best open-source applications dedicated to incident response and computer forensics.

The future of SolydXK | SolydXK

Our main goal is to create a stable and secure distribution for businesses and organizations. We will need to focus on those things that will help us attain our goals. So, we have decided to make some changes:

When Debian’s current testing release (Jessie) becomes stable, our Home Editions and Business Editions will merge and become our new main editions. They will be based on Debian stable. We will provide businesses and organizations a subset of up-to-date software. Additionally, home users will be offered to use a complete set of up-to-date software through our complete backport repository which is not fully tested on SolydXK.
At that time, we will stop providing the Home Editions as semi rolling editions with Update Packs. We will however provide truly rolling editions following Debian testing directly. They will include snapshot ISOs, to be released at regular intervals, maybe twice or three times a year. Other than that, these rolling editions will not be officially supported! They will have to be carried by the community.

Freya Beta 1 Available for Developers & Testers | elementary OS

As tempting as it might be, we strongly recommend against using this beta in a production environment. A few more stages remain in the development process wherein we’ll be addressing serious bugs before the final release. That said, this post is going to be more technical and focus on things that are important to developers. We’ll save announcing all the cool new user-facing features for our final release.

Elementary Freya running on a HP Chromebook, thought you guys and gals might appreciate this.

Red Hat Releases Project Atomic

In April, Red Hat released Project Atomic, a prototype system for running Docker containers. This is Red Hat’s response to the interest in CoreOS a system for hosting Docker containers based on ChromeOS.

Project Atomic is not intended to be another operating system

The core of Project Atomic is the package installation system, rpm-ostree, which takes the packages from Fedora (or potentially another distro in future), and acts as a “Git for operating system binaries”, allowing different collections of packages, or operating installs, and switch atomically between them. Switching still requires a reboot, but you can revert to any old version if there is a problem.

Like CoreOS, systemd is the core running the processes. In order to run distributed applications, Project Atomic uses Geard, a project from Red Hat’s OpenShift PaaS framework. Geard will be the basis of the next generation of OpenShift, and is integrated with systemd

Also included is a browser based graphical management tool, called Cockpit, to manage both the Project Atomic host and the running containers, and manage resource usage. Again this is beta code, and the Project Atomic install is the recommended way of using it.

OpenGL 4.5 released—with one of Direct3D’s best features

The newest version of the industry standard 3D programming API. The new version contains a mix of features designed to make developers’ lives easier and to improve performance and reliability of OpenGL applications.

The big feature in OpenGL 4.5 is Direct State Access (DSA).

ArchAssault

The ArchAssault Project is an Arch Linux derivative for penetration testers,
security professionals and all-around Linux enthusiasts. This means we import the
vast majority of the official upstream Arch Linux packages, these packages are unmodified
from their upstream source. While our Arch Linux base is primarily untouched, there are times
were we have to fork a package to be able to better support our vast selection of tools.
All of our packages strive to maintain the Arch Linux standards, methods and philosophies.

LinuxFest Northwest 2014

Brought to you by: System76

Crouton
User focused
Canonical / Ubuntu feels totally outside of the conversation. Not that it’s avoided, it’s just not in the scope of the discussion. When asked folks tend to, often begrudgingly, admit to using Unity. It’s superior support for touch has been frequently cited.
So. Many. LAS. Fans. Seriously. The Linux Action Show rocked LinuxFest Northwest this year. We were an army, and it literally became ridiculous and absolutely amazing at the same time.
Project Atomic
Chat with Maddog
Crowd
Friday q5sys asked:

What do you think it is about this year that’s so different? What’s driven everyone out here, why this year?

This year was the mark of a new beginning. For LFNW it was the beginning of an era where every solution is welcome, and all of us, Microsoft, hardware, makers, idealists, those BSD jerks, and the hackers are ready to just solve problems.
the “post PC” era is here, and it’s amazing. Because it’s made of fanless incredibly small i5 powered Fedora rocking Wifi ninjas, and an army of Raspberry Pi type devices.
Our Crew. Every single one of them brought the A Game and they individually went above and beyond any reasonable expectation. Thank goodness there’s nothing reasonable about our show.
Linux Action Show pulled folks from all over the world, and that is simply amazing. We packed that Spark museum to tight they had to show the Tesla coil in shifts. And while we can’t claim credit for it all, it’s awesome to be part of a harmony of events that have brought more people together than ever in an age of over commercialized, PR blitz shows.
LinuxFest Northwest should be looked at as a model not just for all open source related conferences, but for the industry as a whole. The amount of real connections, decisions made, and information provided in a single day is staggering.
