📰 Aurora is the KDE side of Bluefin, and it might be the most polished Linux desktop right now I'm a huge fan of Linux's KDE. It's my favorite desktop environment by far, and sometimes, simply learning that an OS uses KDE is enough of an excuse to give it a try. So, when I heard that the Bluefin distro had a KDE fork called Aurora, I knew I had to give it a try. 🔗 Source: https://www.xda-developers.com/aurora-is-the-kde-side-of-bluefin-and-it-might-be-the-most-polished-linux-desktop-right-now/ #distro#kde#linux

📰Most Linux regret is actually distro regret, and you probably gave up too soon Let's say I'm introducing ice cream to an alien. I get a cone, put a dollop of vanilla ice cream onto it, and hand it over. The alien gives the ice cream a lick, says it doesn't like the flavor, and then states that, as a result, ice cream just isn't for them. Of course, people wouldn't allow the alien to believe that all ice creams taste bad because it didn't like the vanilla flavor; instead, they'd recommend different flavors of ice creams and... 🔗 Source: https://www.xda-developers.com/linux-regret-actually-distro-regret/ #distro#linux

📰The gaming Linux distro everyone's switching to just made sudo way more secure with your fingerprint 2026 has been a great year for CachyOS, and we're only a quarter of the way in.

📰 Canonical finally gives Launchpad (a bit of) a glow-up Launchpad, the home of Ubuntu development, has finally received some design attention. Canonical last updated the site’s homepage back in 2024, but many of the pages that the distro’s developers actually use or reference on a regular basis have remained untouched for the best part of a decade.

📰 Ubuntu confirms the 26.10 codename, and it sounds strange… Ubuntu has announced the codename for Ubuntu 26.10 is… “Stonking Stingray”. As codenames go it’s certainly unique. The distro gives each release a codename has an alliterative pairing of adjective and animal, the latter of which becomes the release mascot. The tradition dates back to the first Ubuntu release in 2004 (dubbed ‘Warty Warthog’). Ubuntu 26. 🔗 Source: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/04/ubuntu-26-10-codename-confirmed #distro#ubuntu

📰 I switched to Linux for unconventional reasons, and now I can't go back I’ve been a fan of the Linux ecosystem ever since I got a taste of it with the Raspberry Pi OS (or Buster, as it was called back then) on my RPi Zero ages ago. Since then, it has been a fun journey involving distro-hopping shenanigans and virtualization experiments. But unlike most folks, my reasons for going down the slippery slope of Linux flavors were more than just dissatisfaction with Windows and a desire to bring old devices back to life... 🔗 Source: https://www.xda-developers.com/i-switched-to-linux-for-unconventional-reasons/ #distro#linux#raspberry
