TUXEDO Computers has announced that their Linux distribution is moving away from Ubuntu, with Debian taking over as its new base. TUXEDO OS is the default choice on every TUXEDO machine, but it’s not exclusive to their hardware, and anyone can just grab an image and run it on their computer. Going forward, the distro…
Flock to Fedora is more than a conference — it’s where the Fedora community comes alive. As part of the #In the CommitHistory campaign, we sat down with confirmed Flock 2026 speakers to hear their stories: what brought them to Fedora, what Flock means to them personally, and what they’re hoping for in Prague this…

For years, I never gave GNU coreutils much thought. They’re the standard Linux commands like ls, cp, mv, cat, sort, and wc that come with almost every Linux system. They just work, so I always assumed there wasn’t much to improve. That changed a few months ago when I was analyzing a huge Apache log…
The Steam Machine’s swappable front panel just got a very useful upgrade that Valve has put out for free under an MIT License. Called the Inkterface, the e-ink faceplate replaces the stock panel with a small Bluetooth-connected display.
