Apple to GNU/Linux Journal: Food and exercise tracking with LibreOffice Calc
Transitioning my health tracking from proprietary apps on Apple devices to Free Software on GNU+Linux has proven fairly easy. The result is a simple spreadsheet that is private, future-proof, easy to update and back-up.

Every time I set up a new laptop with #opensuse #tumbleweed #linux, I am so excited about the power of #opensource. The little refurbished #lenovo#T14s I got only took 5 minutes to install from an old USB stick. I swear that I needed more time to unpack, locate an Ethernet cable and find my way in the BIOS to set up USB boot than the system itself took for installing. Awesome.
Anybody talking about #Win11#Windows11 #microsoft Well, folks, Linux hardware will become much cheaper now.
We had a great experience at #DebConf25!
We brought our two laptop models and our brand new NUC Box with Dasharo coreboot firmware.
It was great to see how much recognition and interest there was. Between the tech talks and hallway chats, we really enjoyed the spirit of the Debian community.
🙏 Thanks to everyone who visited our stand!
📅 Any recommendations for other FOSS conferences we should join?

Linux has over 6% of the desktop market? Yes, you read that right - here's how https://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-has-over-6-of-the-desktop-market-yes-you-read-that-right-heres-how/ by @sjvn
No, not 5%. #Linux currently accounts for 6% of the desktop market, according to US government records.
Linux has surpassed 5% desktop market share in the US (5.03% in June 2025), per StatCounter, driven by privacy concerns, rising costs of Windows/macOS, and user-friendly distros like Ubuntu. Community celebrates amid gaming and enterprise boosts, though challenges like software gaps persist; analysts eye 7% by 2027.

A recent apache update broke a bunch of nginx-based sites this morning. If you're getting a 421 error, you'll need to add some proxy_ssl config to nginx's setup quickly.
Nerves will be using Raspberry Pi tryboot to resist bad kernel upgrades and more. It is nice to see that we can bring Raspberry Pi ever closer to parity with the more commercially focused boards as so many get their start on these lovely boards:

The Framework 16 laptop detects when it's booted partially assembled. It boots into a special mode to walk you through completing the assembly. The screen updates to reflect your progress and prompt the next step. This requires no tools to complete. Impressive! Watch:
On this day in 1993, Patrick Volkerding released Slackware 1.0, the oldest Linux distro still maintained!
Still simple, still solid, still Slackware.

Richard Stallman ruined my computing. I want to thank him for it.
When I moved my computing to GNU+Linux in February I still didn’t have a clue about the change of thinking that was coming for me in the next six months. And, frankly, I’ve got Richard Stallman to thank for that. Once I began tapping into his many articles and speeches, my entire understanding of my personal computing shifted to the degree...
