Nitrux Linux: the best alternative to Windows 11? – racunalniske-novice.com

The latest open source operating system Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 is equipped with a very pleasant graphical interface that will easily be acquired by many. It is probably no longer a secret that the Windows 10 operating system will be supported until October 14, 2025. But of course there will be "exceptions". This will be for individuals and companies willing to pay for additional support. Another option is, of course, to install the open source Linux operating system or one of the distributions on an outdated personal computer.Newer Linux distributions are installed on a personal computer in a similar way to…

Securing the Future: FIPS 140-3 Validation and the DISA STIG for AlmaLinux OS – Security Boulevard

AlmaLinux0 CommentsAlmaLinux

FIPS 140-3 In exciting news – TuxCare recently received a CMVP validated certificate for the AlmaLinux 9.2 kernel and is now on the NIST Active list (ahead of Red Hat & Oracle!), we are expecting our OpenSSL certificate soon too. The userspace modules (libgcrypt, nss, gnutls) are on the MIP list but may take a few more months due to the CMVP backlog, which thanks to the new Interim Validation program, should be moving along a lot quicker – indeed we weren’t expecting our kernel certificate for another couple of months. Our FIPS 140-3 packages form part of our…

Ubuntu0 CommentsUbuntu

After seeing how the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 Zen 5 Strix Point performance is under Linux against a range of other Intel/AMD laptops, the next obvious question is... how does this compare to Windows? In this article is an initial look at the Windows 11 versus Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Linux performance for the same AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 SoC within an ASUS Zenbook S16 and running the same benchmarks in looking at the out-of-the-box performance difference. Today's AMD Strix Point benchmarking is looking at the launch-day support of Microsoft Windows 11…

AlmaLinux’s ELevate Begins Handling EPEL Repositories – Phoronix

AlmaLinux0 CommentsAlmaLinux

AlmaLinux's ELevate software is a wonderful utility to help ease migration between existing major versions of RHEL derivatives. In particular, it's been very useful for moving past CentOS 7 and/or upgrading from AlmaLinux 8 to 9, along with the ability to even move to other RHEL derivatives. The downside of ELevate is that it has only worked to date when using official operating system repositories. For those using the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) as is common for augmenting the software selection on RHEL/CentOS, ELevate has not been a supported path for upgrading. ELevate now allows moving between CentOS…

Oreon Lime is AlmaLinux with a desktop twist – The Register

AlmaLinux0 CommentsAlmaLinux

Oreon Lime R2 blends AlmaLinux with a bunch of extra tools and repositories, plus some helpful tweaks for the GNOME desktop. It's sort of akin to an LTS version of Fedora 34. Amid legions of Debian, Ubuntu, and indeed Arch derivatives, the Oreon Project offers something different: A desktop-focused distro based on AlmaLinux. The result is a slightly odd mixture of older components and some helpful desktop tweaks and adjustments. If you have modern hardware and want the latest software, this isn't for you, but if you want to install and forget for years at a time, without doing much…

Gentoo Linux to drop Itanium support as Funtoo fork enters ‘Hobby Mode’ – The Register

Gentoo0 CommentsGentoo

News is bubbling up both from the Gentoo project and its successor, the tellingly named "Funtoo" – what Gentoo founder Daniel Robbins did next. The source-based Gentoo Linux distribution, which still supports a wide range of CPU architectures, will soon support one less. The project leaders announced that it is removing support for Intel's Itanium processor family. It had little choice in this. Like any other distro, Gentoo relies on upstream support for a platform in order to keep it working. The Linux kernel nearly removed Itanium support in February 2023, and finally did so in kernel 6.7 last October.…

AlmaLinux Shifts Focus, No Longer Aims for 1:1 RHEL Compatibility – WebProNews

AlmaLinux0 CommentsAlmaLinux

AlmaLinux developers have announced a change in focus for the distro, abandoning efforts to remain 1:1 compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. AlmaLinux is a downstream distro that has maintained 1:1 compatibility with RHEL, providing customers an affordable alternative to Red Hat’s offering. Like Rocky Linux and Oracle Linux, AlmaLinux helped fill the void created when Red Hat purchased and then killed off CentOS mid-life cycle. Red Hat has been in the headlines and making waves for its recent decision to put RHEL source code behind a paywall, in what many see as a violation of the GPL. RHEL’s source…
