EU OS: A European Proposal for a Public Sector Linux Desktop (The New Stack)
欧盟正在推进一个名为EU OS的开源项目,旨在为公共部门打造基于Linux的桌面系统。该项目并非全新开发的Linux发行版,而是在Fedora的不可变KDE Plasma版本(Kinoite)基础上构建的概念验证。
EU OS采用分层定制方案,提供一个标准化的Linux基础平台,各国、各地区或不同部门可根据需求进行二次定制。这种设计使其能够灵活适应欧洲公共部门的多样化需求。

SUSE may be for sale, again
据路透社报道,私募股权公司 EQT 正考虑出售其持有的开源企业软件公司 SUSE。目前 EQT 已聘请投资银行 Arma Partners 接触潜在买家,但相关讨论尚处早期阶段,交易能否达成尚不确定。

WhisperTux
Simple #voice#dictation application for #Linux. Uses whisper.cpp for offline speech-to-text transcription. No fancy GPUs are required although whisper.cpp is capable of using them if available. Once your speech is transcribed, it is sent to a ydotool daemon that will write the text into the focused application.
Features
Local speech-to-text processing via whisper.cpp (no cloud dependencies)
No expensive hardware required (works well on a plain x86 laptop with AVX instructions)
Global keyboard shortcuts for system-wide operation
Automatic text injection into focused applications
Configurable whisper models and shortcuts
