  1. Ubuntu 26.04 LTS "Resolute Raccoon" ya está aquí con GNOME 50 y Wayland nativo. Pero la exigencia de 6 GB de RAM (+50%) puede dejar fuera a usuarios con hardware antiguo. ¿Paso necesario o barrera innecesaria? Como usuario de Ubuntu, estoy considerando mis opciones... ¿Qué pasará con la comunidad? Iré probando otras distros para ver dónde migramos. Estoy listo para explorar y encontrar la mejor opción para todos nosotros. #Ubuntu26 #Linux #TechNews #UbuntuLTS #Migración #DistrosLinux #opensource

  2. New blog post: figuring out, and updating upstream bug reports on how to get OpenVPN+DCO (in-kernel encryption/decryption) working on upcoming Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and Fedora 44.

    Hopefully this can all be fixed before the release, so it works out of the box!

Der neue Zeitraum gilt rückwirkend ab Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) und bietet langfristigen Produktionssystemen durchgehend Sicherheits‑Updates, Compliance‑Tools und optionalen Support.

  5. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:

    "Main/Restricted packages receive security updates from Ubuntu Pro with 'esm-infra' enabled until 2030."

    "Universe/Multiverse packages receive security updates from Ubuntu Pro with 'esm-apps' enabled until 2030. You have received 36 security updates."

  6. @ashwin besides that #Microsoft also actively counters #Linux by paying the big #OEM|s like #hp, #Dell & #Lenovo $25 per #Windows - preinstall and doesn't allow #Refurbishers and manufacturers to offer i.e. @ubuntu / #UbuntuLTS instead of #Windows10 or #Windows11 if they want cheap #OEM or #MAR license keys.

    Same with #Education - Licensees like some Secondary Education Institutions: They won't be admitted ti tgeir "Microsoft Academy" program if they were to teach #Linux, #BSD's or #Unix instead - maybe with the exception of #macOS because that's not a threat to #Microsoft since they sell #MicrosoftOffice and #VisualStudio for #Macs and #Apple is one of the biggest #Azure clients...

    Not to mention Windows on it's own doesn't need to made profit as it's a customer acquisition and milking tool (aka. "Razer & Blades Model") whereby users ROI those subsidies with #Office365 & #XboxGamePassPC subscriptions, because that's where the real margins are.

    Like with so many examples, just because "the majority" uses/likes something doesn't mean it's good - period!

  7. @BrodieOnLinux Granted, #Rebooting on #Linux #Servers happens way less than on #Windows "Server" and even on #Desktop.

    It's not like on #Windows10 & #Windows11 where the OS forces when it wants to reboot and completely ruins the productivuty of it's users with #RebootOrgies, but rather politely says "Hey, I did update your system. Since it's a Kerbel Update, please consider rebooting me when you got the time..."

    And thanks to #SystemD even huge #Desktop distros like #UbuntuLTS (re)boot faster than Windows on the same machine even when you shove it on a 7200rpm 3,5" SATA-2 HDD and Windows on a SATA-6G saturating SSD...

    (Yes I'm old enough ro remember having enough time to take a dump on the loo when #SysVinit was a thing and boottimes were measured in minutes...)

  8. Este #ViernesDeEscritorio sí hay un cambio importante en mi #ThinkPad #T450: ahora funciona con #KDEneon y ha sido para bien, tengo la estabilidad de #UbuntuLTS con las últimas novedades de #KDEplasma.

    La transición fue bastante limpia y rápida, digo que es importante porque no soy #DistroHooper, llevaba 10 años usando #Kubuntu.

  9. @arstechnica that's nothing new.

    Good OSes like support |ing for a decade now.

  10. Tuntuu siltä, että #rolling-distroihin käynyt virta on tyystin tappanut perinteiset vakaat jakelut. Enää #Debian ja #UbuntuLTS ovat jäljellä, ja jälkimmäisessä on niin paljon inhottavaa (#Snap, outo #umask) josta eroonpääsy on tuskallista, ettei millään hotsittaisi.
