To use AM-GUI (AppImage Manager Graphical) and forget about Flatpak is very simple. Just run -> `sudo apt install am-vendefoul`. This installs the store, and when you open it, select the quick option. From that moment on, you're ready to say #nosnap #noflatpak @LundukeJournal

The open source project that single handedly destroyed the SSL certification industry.

The best software you’re using was never sold to you. VLC plays every file format you throw at it. No codecs to install. No subscriptions. No “upgrade to unlock.” It has worked this way since 2001 and it still does today. It runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS. It plays corrupted files, half-downloaded videos, obscure formats that nothing else touches. Media players have come and gone. VLC is still here. Brave rethought what a browser should do by default. Native ad blocking. Built-in fingerprint protection. HTTPS upgrades. No data collection pipeline feeding back to an ad network. It is built on Chromium so compatibility is not a concern, but it ships with privacy baked in rather than bolted on as an extension. Two completely different tools. Same principle. Built by people who believed software should serve the user first. Both are open source. Both are free. Not free with a catch. Not free until the trial expires. Free. Most of the infrastructure people rely on daily is quietly owned by companies with misaligned incentives. VLC and Brave are the exception. They exist because communities and developers decided some things should just work for everyone, regardless of what they can pay. That matters more than most people realize.

We forked the #KDE Plasma Login Manager. It now runs on #X11, drops privileges after init, and supports #systemd-free too. We tested it on Artix Linux with OpenRC, CachyOS with systemd, and on the #FreeBSD-based GhostBSD. #SonicDE sonic-login-manager youtube.com/watch?v=rTnV7-nf…

The CachyOS kernel for Fedora and EL has been updated to fix the dirty frag vulnerability. pc-rytteren.dk/blog/en/cachy…

Linux distributions are scrambling to secure against the serious “Dirty Frag” Linux exploit, which was unveiled before fixes were in place. AlmaLinux, which aims to be binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, is taking the unusual step of deviating from Red Hat and “patching ahead of our upstream”. “Security is a top priority at AlmaLinux, and the severity of this flaw — combined with how trivial it is to exploit — meant we did not want to wait. Patches are not yet available from Red Hat, so our core team has built patched kernels.” almalinux.org/blog/2026-05-0…

Seriously. When did we forget how to make “a cord that doesn’t break in a week”? We used to endlessly fidget with that telephone cord. Then we used it as a whip. Then we tied things up with it. And the darn thing still worked for another three decades before we bought a new phone. Not because the cord (or the phone) was broken… just because we wanted a new wireless one that didn’t need the (apparently indestructible) cord.
