📰Linus T tells The Reg how Linux solo act became a global jam session
Ts'o, Hohndel and the man himself spill beans on how checks in the mail and GPL made it all possible If you know anything about Linux's history, you'll remember it all started with Linus Torvalds posting to the Minix Usenet group on August 25, 1991, that he was working on "a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones.

The Dirty Pipe Vulnerability CVE-2022-0847
a vulnerability in the Linux kernel since 5.8 which allows overwriting data in arbitrary read-only files. This leads to privilege escalation because unprivileged processes can inject code into root processes.
It is similar to CVE-2016-5195 “Dirty Cow” but is easier to exploit.
The vulnerability was fixed in Linux 5.16.11, 5.15.25 and 5.10.102.
又一个 Linux kernel 本地提权,可覆盖重写任意只读文件中的数据,从而可将普通权限的用户提升到特权 root
影响范围 >=5.8, <5.16.11, 5.15.25 and 5.10.102

This is Probably the Best Video Downloader App (And it is Free and Open Source) | itsFOSS
VidBee allows you to download videos from YouTube, Facebook, X, Instagram, etc. In fact, it supports over 1,800 websites.
It is built on top of popular command line tools like yt-dlp and #ffmpeg. For the interface, it uses the Electron framework. I understand that some people dislike Electron framework as it runs a web browser underneath, but the 'advantage' of this framework is that you get the same interface in all the operating systems. At least, it's an advantage for the developers as they don't have to build the interface separately for #Linux, #Windows and #macOS.
The source code for VidBee is available on its GitHub repository.

[$] The future for Tyr
Tyr 团队在 2025 年初时,为 Arm Mali 硬件开发 Rust GPU 驱动的工作进展甚微。但到年底,他们已在 Linux Plumbers Conference 上成功运行了开源 3D 赛车游戏 SuperTuxKart。该原型由 Arm、Collabora 和 Google 合作开发,在会议期间运行稳定,性能足以满足游戏需求。
这一进展恰逢其时:Dave Airlie 在维护者峰会上宣布,DRM 子系统将在大约一年后禁止新的 C 语言驱动程序,并要求使用 Rust。因此,团队现在需要为 2026 年制定路线图,以期将所有工作整合到上游内核中。

[$] Asterinas: a new Linux-compatible kernel project
中国南方科技大学团队开发了名为Asterinas的新型Linux兼容内核项目。该项目采用Rust语言编写,基于"框架内核架构"设计理念,试图融合单体内核与微内核的优势。
Asterinas与Rust for Linux项目有部分目标重叠,但采取了不同的技术路线。该项目保持与Linux ABI兼容,旨在通过Rust语言的安全特性提升系统可靠性。

The Award for Excellence in Open Source goes to Greg Kroah-Hartman
欧洲开源学院(European Open Source Academy)将2026年度“开源卓越奖”授予了Greg Kroah-Hartman。该奖项去年的获奖者Daniel Stenberg负责了今年的颁奖。
颁奖词中强调,Greg在Linux内核方面的工作至关重要。虽然软件创新常吸引眼球,但稳定性才是保障生命和生计的关键。每一部安卓手机、每一台网络服务器、每一个运行Linux的关键系统,都依赖于Greg一丝不苟的工作。他确保了医院、银行、政府和个人在依赖Linux时,系统不会令他们失望。他的工作代表了最高形式的服务:不张扬、不懈努力且不可或缺。
