    This week's Linux and FOSS news

    LINUX NEWS

    Debian 11 Bullseye Reaches EOL: August 2026 Deadline and Migration Options:
    linuxcompatible.org/story/debi

    Debian Turns 33 Years Old, Happy Birthday!:
    9to5linux.com/debian-turns-33-
    (Happy birthday, Debian! 🥳🎂)

    Canonical is Funding a PhD to Automate C to Rust Translation for Ubuntu:
    feed.itsfoss.com/link/24361/17
    (Yay, mass translation, mass bugs lol)

    Ubuntu is Growing Faster on Windows Than on Linux:
    feed.itsfoss.com/link/24361/17
    (Not really surprised, Ubuntu isn't really a user-focused distro anymore, Canonical makes money from enterprise customers, who like to slave for Microsoft I guess, but they use WSL because Linux is often much better at development stuff.)
    (A few months ago, I learned some DevOps at university, and the prof showed how to install Jenkins on a Windows machine using WSL, and I'm like: why use Windows at that point, wouldn't it be easier to just use Linux?)

    Bazzite Linux 44 for handhelds finally launches with some massive upgrades:

    (Normies gonna protect their favorite enslavement cell no matter what. I'd say normieland "is an embarrassing place".)
    (It reminds me of a Hungarian tech news/forum site which wrote (they probably still do, I just don't go there anymore lol) about Windows all the time, and highlighted each Linux vulnerability saying "see, that's why you should just stick to Windows" while they also wrote about Windows vulnerabilities so they contradicted themselves pretty noticably. And the sad thing is they have quite a lot of readers who are also brainwashed zombies shilling Windows in the comment section, and if a Linux user accidentally finds the way there, he/she quickly gets humiliated like crazy. So Linux users are the elitists? Hmm, not so sure about that lol)

    Zen Browser 1.21.13b Lands with Sidebar and Pinned Tab Fixes:
    linuxcompatible.org/story/zen-

    Privacy giant Proton may be building a web browser — but its community turns cold:
    techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-
    (Well, I don't rely that heavily on the Proton ecosystem, so I didn't notice any bug in existing products, but regardless, I also think they shouldn't expand more, because they already have a wide ecosystem which can lock people in, so it's basically Google. People should be taught to avoid putting all eggs in one basket, not to switch to another ecosystem just because it claims to be more privacy-focused. There were already some news that Proton handed over user data to authorities.)
    (As for the Chromium base, I agree that supporting the Chromium monopoly isn't a good idea, although unfortunately it's necessary to use a Chromium-based browser for a few sites, web apps which don't play nice with Firefox.)

    Codeberg members vote to ban AI-generated code:
    omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/07/codebe
    (It's fair I guess, low quality vibe coded projects shouldn't be endorsed)

    Codeberg bans malicious crypto-related projects:
    codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pull
    codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pull
    (Now, it sounds good on paper, the question is how they will determine what's malicious, and can they judge properly. Banning legit crypto projects, even if by accident, can be a problem.)
    (Those who accept crypto donations, or write a blog post about crypto as a privacy tool on their Pages site should be fine I guess.)

    (I guess the reason they are doing all of these bans is that they have limited server capacity, and because of many FOSS projects migrating to the platform from GitHub, their servers often seem overloaded, the site loads slowly. Though in case of crypto related projects, they can also be held accountable for hosting scammy projects)

    I just swapped my main and backup Matrix accounts, from now, the one on Unredacted homeserver (@fosserytech:unredacted.org) will be the main one, which I'll use, the Linux.Pizza one (@fosserytech:linux.pizza) will be the backup account, which I won't check that often.

    The reason behind the change is that the Linux.Pizza homeserver is down quite frequently for a few days (like it's the case right now), or has issues loading earlier messages
