Show Notes

The Linux Kernel 6.19 is out, the Rust experiment is over, and it's time to talk about 7.0. Vim 9.2 is out, with a bit of a weird new feature in its changelogs, and IPFire is an intriguing, community-driven security domain block list. PearOS has a new release for those seeking an Apple-inspired Linux experience, and Linux Mint is adjusting its release schedule to better manage developer and tester schedules. River is a new project trying to do Wayland support with a modular Desktop stack, and Mesa 26.0 is out with impressive performance gains. For tips, we have cull for finding and deleting big files, a systemd program for detecting if the OS is running virtualized, preload for caching applications in ram, and new_script for a script-writing tool that *doesn't* feature an LLM. You can find the show notes at https://bit.ly/3ZCNcEc and happy Linux'ing!

Host: Jonathan Bennett

Co-Hosts: Rob Campbell, Ken McDonald, and Jeff Massie
