Kubuntu Linux Gets New Sugar Daddy – WIRED

Kubuntu0 CommentsKubuntu
Kubuntu -- the version of Ubuntu Linux that uses the KDE desktop interface rather than the standard Unity desktop -- has a new sponsor.Open source outfit Blue Systems will take over the project after Ubuntu sponsor Canonical said it would no longer pay for the development work on Kubuntu. Open source projects such as Kubuntu and Ubuntu typically require ongoing funding from for-profit ventures."Canonical needs to make money, and after dropping support for Gnome, support for KDE couldn't be far behind," read a blog post from Jonathan Riddell, lead developer for Kubuntu, referring to the two desktop interfaces dropped from…

How to Migrate CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux – The New Stack

AlmaLinux0 CommentsAlmaLinux
The former Red Hat CentOS 7 Linux distribution is dead. It was a fun ride but it’s over. You could upgrade CentOS 7 to CentOS Stream but most are leery of doing so (because of the rolling release nature of Stream). The other option would be to migrate to one of the alternative distributions, such as AlmaLinux. Sounds complicated, right? You could have to deploy a new server with the latest version of AlmaLinux, copy all of the data from one machine to the next, rebuild your apps/services so they run, and hope for the best. Fortunately, thanks to the developers…

Solus Linux Starts Snap Removal: AppArmor Patchset First To Go – It’s FOSS News

Solus0 CommentsSolus
Solus is one of those Linux distributions that's built from scratch. Even though it has had its fair share of ups and downs, its developers have been able to consistently provide a reliable experience to their users.Since some time, it has been shipping with pre-installed support for Snaps, the infamous packaging format by Canonical. However, that is now changing.For better or for the worse? I will leave that to you to decide. 🙃Removal of Snaps Begins: What To Expect?Solus 4.5 Announced yesterday, the developers of Solus have dropped the AppArmor patchset provided by Canonical from their current Linux kernel branch,…

Download MX Linux 21.1 ‘Wildflower’ now – BetaNews

MX Linux0 CommentsMX Linux
MX Linux ranks number one for popularity over on DistroWatch, but truth be told, I do not know anyone that uses the distribution regularly. Don't get me wrong, it is a fine operating system, but it really isn't anything special. Quite frankly, the distro's need to exist is questionable at this point, but whatever. Despite the rather negative opening paragraph, I am pleased to tell you that the newest version of the operating system is ready to be downloaded. Huzzah! Given the codename "Wildflower," MX Linux 21.1 is a rather ho-hum point release. The developers share the changes below. Debian…

Veeam expands Proxmox VE, partners with Hitachi Vantara – Blocks & Files

Proxmox0 CommentsProxmox
Handshake Veeam has extended its server virtualization backup support to Proxmox VE. The company is also becoming more enterprise-focused as Hitachi Vantara’s data protection partner. Proxmox VE is an open source server virtual machine and container environment. Its toolset includes vzdump for backing up guest virtual machines and it integrates with Proxmox Backup Server for centralized backup management. As Broadcom now owns VMware and appears to be focused on larger customers, Veeam says its SMB customers are choosing Proxmox VE as an alternative. Veeam is extending its virtualization support from its current roster of VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV,…

4MLinux0 Comments4MLinux

Which version of Kali Linux should I download to use in Virtualbox? “Instaler images” or “Virtual machines”? – SitePoint

Which version of Kali Linux should I download to use in Virtualbox? “Instaler images” or “Virtual machines”? – SitePoint

Kali0 CommentsKali
I have VirtualBox installed on Windows 11 and now I would like to install Kali on a virtual machine. However, on the official website, I see two options: “Installer images” and “Virtual machines”. Which one should I use for the virtual machine and what is the difference between them? I haven’t looked at that specific product, but just based on the description I would say that the installer image is just the product itself, with an install package, so that you can run through the installation routine on a native PC, server or virtual machine, and the virtual machine is…

Manjaro Linux Review: ‘Arch Linux for Human Beings’ Provides Rolling Release for Every User – It’s FOSS

Manjaro0 CommentsManjaro
To every stereotype there is some element of truth. One of the main reasons that Manjaro is so popular has to do with its roots. Manjaro is based on Arch Linux and inherits many elements of Arch Linux but it is a very distinct project.Unlike Arch Linux, almost everything is pre-configured in Manjaro. This makes it one of the most user-friendly Arch-based distributions. A lot of new users get attracted to this idea and I can’t blame them.Will Manjaro then can be the new Ubuntu for a newcomer? My answer is Yes!Ubuntu and Canonical will always have my utmost respect as it has a huge success…
