    This month, we explore the top FOSS, including a stripped-down version of Brave, a lightweight audio player, and a command-line search utility. I've recently treated myself to a mid-tier gaming laptop to naturally, the first thing I did was fire up Steam on Linux and play Deus Ex: Revision through Valve's Proton Windows compatibility layer, built around open source projects including Wine, DXVK, and VKD3D-Proton. It all just works. I must say that it feels miraculous for a game released in 2000

    Distro Zoo – Original & Derivative Distros » Linux Magazine (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    This month, we explore Hannah Montana Linux v26.0, RakuOS 2026.07.03, ArchBang Linux 010726, and Galactic Mandate Linux v00. There's definitely something of a season of madness going on in the Linux distro world right now, though it hasn't dented the distros' quality in the least. ArchBang, for instance, spent part of last year calling itself GreenBang, because its developer feared attracting unwanted attention from Arch Linux IP holders, before reverting to its original name. Then, an apparent

    The powerful Opera GX browser has now come to Linux: Should gamers rejoice, or was this one port we could do without? Like most Linux Magazine readers, and as the current writer of the FOSSPicks column, I'm a huge advocate of open source software. As Linus's Law states, "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow," not to mention the fact that a transparent approach to development gives users a much better assurance that an app is only collecting minimal data and there are no coded backdoors.

    This month we explore Hardenwing 3.5, Redcore Linux 2601, RefreshOS 3.0, and AnduinOS 2.0.0. Every distro in this roundup, however different in look and philosophy, sits on top of the Linux kernel. When Linux drops hardware support, other distros follow. In April 1989, Intel announced the i486, the first x86 processor to break the one-million transistor barrier. The first machine to ship with the chip was the Apricot VX FT server, a behemoth that cost nearly $18,000 (the equivalent of $48,342 to

    This month we explore the top FOSS, including a privacy-focused YouTube client, a browser extension for annotating web pages, and an open source AirDrop alternative. Few things illustrate the sometimes inflammatory politics of open source better than a project arriving wrapped in a flag. Euro-Office has been pitched as a sovereign European alternative to Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. It was developed by a coalition of EU-based companies, including Nextcloud and IONOS, but its launch has al
