And maybe I should go back to using GUI designers. Haven’t used those since the Visual Basic days. 🤔 It wasn’t pretty, but you got results very quickly and efficiently.
(When I switched to Linux, I quickly got stuck with GTK and that only had Glade, which wasn’t super great at the time, so I didn’t start using it … and then I never questioned that decision …)

There are no really good GUI toolkits for Linux, are there?
They’re either slow (like GTK4, Qt6), don’t support Wayland (like Tk), and/or unmaintained (like GTK2 and many others).

The Linux boot process: from power button to kernel
You press the power button. A second later a wall of text scrolls by, or a logo fades in, and eventually Linux appears. What happens in between is not magic. It is a careful handshake between tiny programs and a very literal CPU. This part follows that handshake until the very first line of C code inside the Linux kernel runs. ↫ 0xkato’s blog Exactly what it says on the tin. ⌘ Read more

Tag proposal: conflicts
Given that we’ve recently been flooded with posts about conflicts in relation to Ruby Central, DHH, Omarchy, Rust in Linux, and now Freedesktop, can we have a tag for this kind of thing? I accept that it’s important and on topic but I’d like to be able to take a break. ⌘ Read more

OpenBSD 7.8 released
Like clockwork, every six months, we have a new OpenBSD release.

KDE Plasma 6.5 released
KDE is on a roll lately, and keeps on rolling with today’s release of KDE Plasma 6.5. As the project itself notes, this release focuses on relatively small improvements, refinements, and other niceties, without making any massive changes. With Linux desktops taking accessibility more seriously lately than ever before, I want to focus on the accessibility improvements first.

If you could redesign Linux userland from scratch, what would you do differently?
