Loss32 - проект дистрибутива с реализацией Win32 Проект Loss32 развивает дистрибутив, который сочетает в себе ядро Linux и графическое окружение, основанное на компонентах Windows. Компоненты используются из Wine и ReactOS. Ключевым отличием от ReactOS является отказ от идеи использования ядра Windows NT в основе и использование подхода, близкого к Android (в котором также используется ядро Linux для вышеуказанных целей, но не используются такие компоненты, как Systemd, утилиты GNU, Wayland/X11, менеджеры пакетов и т.п), позволяющего добиться большей аппаратной совместимости по сравнению с оригинальным проектом. В качестве композитного менеджера используется Mutter, среда рабочего стола базируется на приложениях и библиотеках Win32, таких как explorer.exe и shell32.dll.

Анализ исправления ошибок в ядре Linux - в среднем ошибки замечают через 2 года Опубликованы результаты исследования времени обнаружения и устранения ошибок в коде ядра Linux. Данные получены в результате анализа исправления 125 тысяч ошибок, помеченных в Git-репозитории тегом "Fixes:", ссылающимся на коммит, в котором возникла ошибка. Среднее время обнаружения ошибок в ядре составило 2.1 года. Если рассматривать только ошибки, исправленные в 2025 году, данный показатель составил 2.8 года. 👉@sysadminoff https://www.opennet.ru/opennews/art.shtml?num=64574

Ubuntu 25.04 Support Ends Next Week (Jan 15th) Support for Ubuntu 25.04 ‘Plucky Puffin’ officially ends on 15th January 2026 which, for those of you reading in a timely fashion, is next week. Once Ubuntu 25.04 reaches End of Life (EoL) it gets no more security patches, app updates or bug fixes, no matter how critical. There aren’t any real-time public stats revealing how many people use each version of Ubuntu, but as Ubuntu 25.10 was released last October so has been out for around 3 months by this point, I’d be surprised if many were holding off. That said, if you do still use the Plucky Puffin […] You're reading Ubuntu 25.04 Support Ends Next Week (Jan 15th), a blog post from OMG! Ubuntu.

Devuan 6.1 2 января состоялся релиз дистрибутива Devuan Excalibur 6.1, основанного на Debian Trixie. Ключевое отличие дистрибутива – это поддержка систем инициализации, отличных от systemd. Дистрибутив поставляется по умолчанию с окружением Xfce. Пакеты собираются для архитектур i386, amd64, armel, armhf, arm64, ppc64el и riscv64. Дистрибутив сопровождает около 400 пакетов, позволяющих функционировать без systemd, такие как например, elogind, OpenRC или runit. В целом, дистрибутив сохраняет совместимость с Debian, за исключением данных моментов. Доступны также окружения: Cinnamon, KDE, LXQt, LXDE, MATE и Sway. Система инициализации по умолчанию – SysVinit, можно перейти на OpenRC и runit. Также присутствует возможность работы без D-Bus. В качестве сетевого менеджера используется Network-Manager в варианте, не привязанном к systemd. ConsoleKit используется в Xfce и MATE, в остальных – elogind. Также стали доступны неофициальные сборки для Raspberry Pi. Запущен также Devuan Testing 7 «Freia». Ключевые особенности релиза со стороны Devuan пока неизвестны.  devuan, mate, openrc, sysvinit, xfce 👉@sysadminoff https://www.linux.org.ru/news/debian/18188941
