Question – what OS should I install?
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e with only 2 cores, 4 threads, and 4 GB of RAM. I'm looking for OS recommendations that would be suitable for this machine.
I'm considering Debian, possibly as a command-line installation, to see if I could manage without a GUI. I've also thought about something more exotic like OpenBSD. Regardless, I'd mainly like to use this machine as a portable typewriter. Importantly, I need TTS (text-to-speech) because of my personal accessibility needs—a screen reader is essential.
I enjoy experimenting with distros and learning through hands-on experience.
Any advise and tips are welcome!

People are upset about debian but debian would have to reject the kernel to reject LLMs. The fish starts rotting from the head. No distribution will be better than the very kernel it runs. The entire ecosystem is collapsing.
We really do have the 30M lines problem, as Molly Rocket put it. The kernel have always been a single point of failure
We need a standardized SoC (system on chip) with entire system ISA (instruction set architecture). We need operating systems to be a weekend projects. We need thousands of operating systems. We need open source hardware that will enable that.

Google Play System Update (July 2026) rolls out for Samsung devices
Google Play System Update was a feature that was introduced for devices that ship with Android 10 or newer. It’s mandatory for device manufacturers that plan to release their devices with Android 10 to support Google Play System Updates. As a result, non-Google devices, such as Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets released with Android 10 (One UI 2.1), can receive such updates, too.
These updates don’t require security updates from the manufacturer to work, as Project Mainline modules work independently to give you better experience with Android phones and tablets.
On July 29th, a new Google Play System Update has been pushed to Samsung devices. This update upgrades your Project Mainline modules to the July 1st, 2026 version. This update weighs around 14 MB.
To be able to get this version, follow these steps:
- Go to your device’s settings
- Open the security settings
- Find “Google Play System Update” and tap on it
- If everything goes OK, you should see the below update dialog:
Click on Download and Install, wait for it to download, then reboot your device by clicking on the blue Restart button. The next time your device boots up, the revised update gets installed, so it’s going to take about 3 minutes maximum to install all the updates.
There is no progress bar, so don’t panic if it looks stuck. Your device will eventually boot up. Now, open your settings app and check your Google Play System Update. If everything is well, you should see July 1st, 2026 below the appropriate button.
In case your device didn’t receive the update, wait for a few days, and it will be available shortly.
Stay tuned for the August patch of 2026!

https://www.phoronix.com/news/Haiku-Slow-Git-StatusP.S.: As you may noticed, I didn't write the regular summaries for most news, just copy pasted the article titles. I decided to stop doing those summaries for most news (except for those where the article title doesn't tell much, like the GNOME 49 and Ubuntu 25.10 articles above), because it takes quite a lot of time which I can spend doing other, more useful things, plus writing those are pretty tedious, especially for the regular software releases, which aren't that interesting to me 90% of time, I don't really enjoy writing them anymore. But regardless, if I have some personal opinion about something, I'll share that, like I did this time too. Hope you find these posts useful this way too.

- If everything goes OK, you should see the below update dialog:
Click on Download and Install, wait for it to download, then reboot your device by clicking on the blue Restart button. The next time your device boots up, the revised update gets installed, so it’s going to take about 3 minutes maximum to install all the updates.
There is no progress bar, so don’t panic if it looks stuck. Your device will eventually boot up. Now, open your settings app and check your Google Play System Update. If everything is well, you should see June 1st, 2025 below the appropriate button.
In case your device didn’t receive the update, wait for a few days, and it will be available shortly.
Stay tuned for the July patch of 2025!

Google Play System Update (May 2025) rolls out for Samsung devices
Google Play System Update was a feature that was introduced for devices that ship with Android 10 or newer. It’s mandatory for device manufacturers that plan to release their devices with Android 10 to support Google Play System Updates. As a result, non-Google devices, such as Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets released with Android 10 (One UI 2.1), can receive such updates, too.
These updates don’t require security updates from the manufacturer to work, as Project Mainline modules work independently to give you better experience with Android phones and tablets.
On June 10th, a new Google Play System Update has been pushed to Samsung devices. This update upgrades your Project Mainline modules to the May 1st, 2025 version. This update weighs around 87 MB.
To be able to get this version, follow these steps:
- Go to your device’s settings
- Open the security settings
- Find “Google Play System Update” and tap on it
- If everything goes OK, you should see the below update dialog:
Click on Download and Install, wait for it to download, then reboot your device by clicking on the blue Restart button. The next time your device boots up, the revised update gets installed, so it’s going to take about 3 minutes maximum to install all the updates.
There is no progress bar, so don’t panic if it looks stuck. Your device will eventually boot up. Now, open your settings app and check your Google Play System Update. If everything is well, you should see May 1st, 2025 below the appropriate button.

#FreeBSD At 30: The History And Future Of The Most Popular #BSD-Based #OS
As the first original fork of the first complete and #opensource #Unix #operatingsystem (#386BSD) it continues the legacy that the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) began in 1978 until its final release in 1995. With widespread industry usage of FreeBSD and a strong hobbyist/enthusiast core, it seems fair to say that FreeBSD’s future looks brighter than ever.
