Three Ukrainian-Language Linux Foundation Courses Are Now Available

Follow this tutorial to see how I use KService and Ansible on my Linux KDE desktop.

One reason this is possible is KServices, a simple but powerful plugin framework for handling desktop services. Add functions to the right-click menu In the KDE Plasma…

Remixing Linux For Blind And Visually Impaired Users

Fegora, a Fedora project, is an unofficial Linux distribution aimed at visually impaired users. When I was around 5 years old, my father brought home our first computer. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in computers. I haven’t stopped hanging around them since. During high school, when considering which specific area I wanted to focus on, I started experimenting with hacking, and that was the moment I decided to pursue a career as a security engineer. I’m now a software engineer on the security compliance team. I’ve been at Red Hat for over two…

Mid-Year Update On 2022 CNCF, Linux Foundation, And Open Source Velocity

Consistently looking into CNCF and Linux Foundation project’s velocity and the 30 top open source projects give us a very good indication of trends that are resonating with developers and end users. As a result, we can get insight into platforms that will likely be successful. We use bubble charts to show three axes of data: commits, authors, and comments/pull requests, and plot on a log-log chart to show the data across large scales. The bubble’s area is proportional to the number of authors The y-axis is the total number of pull requests and issues The x-axis is the number…

How Google Got To Rolling Linux Releases For Desktops

Hero image credit: Markus Teich At Google we run large production fleets that serve Google products like YouTube and Gmail. To support all our employees, including engineers, we also run a sizable corporate fleet with hundreds of thousands of devices across multiple platforms, models, and locations. To let each Googler work in the environment they are most productive in, we operate many OS-platforms including a Linux system. For a long time, our internal facing Linux distribution, Goobuntu, was based off of Ubuntu LTS releases. In 2018 we completed a move to a rolling release model based on Debian. Upgrade Toil…
