KDE Neon Developer OS Switches To Plasma Wayland By Default

KDE developers have decided to switch to Wayland by default for KDE Neon’s unstable/developer OS.

Fedora 25 To Run Wayland By Default

This authorization corrects a bureaucratic mistake: FESCo previously authorized the change for Fedora 24, but the Workstation working group decided to defer the change to Fedora 25, then forgot to request authorization again for Fedora 25 as required. An objection was raised on the grounds that the proper change procedure was not followed, so to sidestep this objection we decided to request permission again from FESCo, which granted the request. Authorization to proceed with the change does not mean the decision to proceed has been made; the change could still be deferred, just as it was for Fedora 24.

Let’s pretend that by Fedora 25, Wayland becomes the default display server and all of its major bugs are fixed. What tangible benefits would this bring to Linux users — gamers, developers, etc.? : Fedora

ext4 break with 32,000 Files

I ran into a bug with the ext4 filesystem that causes it to fail if there are more than about 32,000 files in a directory. The technical reasons for this are boring and I really don’t care why; I just want to trust that my filesystem will do the right thing.

FBI Announces Post-Election Attack on Encryption

Comey’s intention to renew the fight against encryption came about because the issue “has dipped below public consciousness now.” The wait to address encryption until 2017 comes because “next year we can have an adult conversation in this country” about it.

FreeBSD Now Has A Port For CentOS 7 Binary Support

As of yesterday, linux_base-c7 landed in ports for installing the CentOS 7 base packages. This will allow running newer Linux binaries built for modern CentOS/RHEL 7 era systems on FreeBSD, assuming the source isn’t available or isn’t compatible natively with FreeBSD. Previously CentOS 6 was the default port used for this Linux binary compatibility with FreeBSD.

KaOS Brings Serious Relevance Back to KDE | Linux.com | The source for Linux information

If you’ve been looking for a distribution to sway you back to the KDE desktop, look no further than KaOS. It’s beautiful, runs with the snap of a much lighter desktop, and feels as reliable as any other option available for Linux. I

I haven’t been this impressed with KDE for a very, very long time.

Multi-process Firefox brings 400-700% improvement in responsiveness

In the coming weeks, Mozilla will push multi-processing to 100 percent of their initial cohort of users. This group represents 40-50 percent of total users. Within the next six months, a majority of users can expect to have the capabilities. Here is a little cheat sheet of upcoming releases:

Firefox 49: Enabling for a set of add-ons that work well with multi-processing
Firefox 50 or 51: Sandboxing and enabling for more add ons
Firefox 52 or 53: Multiple content processes

Community Review: KaOS

KaOS | A lean KDE Distribution

The idea behind KaOS is to create a tightly integrated rolling and transparent distribution for the modern desktop, build from scratch with a very specific focus.
Focus on one DE (KDE), one toolkit (Qt), one architecture (x86_64) plus a focus on evaluating and selecting the most suitable tools and applications.

All work is geared toward packaging, not developing new tools or applications.

There is no goal to make the most possible software available, KaOS will stay limited in size of the repositories, and will work on quality instead of quantity. That goal makes it clear, a large user base is not what is intended or expected.

It targets users who have tried many Operating Systems/Distributions/Desktop Environments and have found they prefer a Distribution that uses all its available resources to work on one DE to make that the best it can be, and know that after their searches, the best for them is KDE.

KaOS – 2014.06 Release Notes

The June version comes with an installer, non-free nvidia driver, all language packs, KDE 4.13.2, linux kernel 3.14.6 (linux-next is in the repo’s, following the 3.15 series), glibc 2.19, systemd 212, kmod 17, xorg-server 1.15.1, Qt 4.8.6, QtWebkit 2.3.3, mesa 10.2.1, calligra 2.8.3, amarok 2.8.0 and the latest versions of qupzilla, octopi, kde-telepathy, kdenlive, plasma-mediacenter and Qt 5.3.0.

For those wondering about gtk apps, firefox 30.0, chrome 37, thunderbird 24.6.0, ardour 3.5 are among the available in their latest version.
