  • "We dont do your work and we charge you for it!"

    This perversion of the "computing costs money" concept really hurts. They want you to cause them more costs, just to charge you more.

  • Kali Linux 2025.4 Released With GNOME 49, KDE Plasma 6.5

    Jump

  • There is Kali with GNOME?? XFCE is simply really bad, but it works well with their menu and custom widgets.

    I dont think GNOME makes any sense tbh, KDE would make sense, heavily debloated.

    Kali is a tool, not a daily driver. It has actively reduced security and open holes everywhere, so that you can hack things easier

    GNOME is a noob desktop (or used by people that do everything in the terminal), so I dont see any connection here

  • SSH Pilot is now a feature-rich server management toolbox!

  • An alternative to PuTTY too I guess

    Very nice, GUIs are always appreciated as they make stuff easier by showing you what to do and needing to type less

  • TIL that the font rendering inside the kernel is actually pixels. Not sure what your comment wanted to say.

  • Guys you have to see, it is amazing how much deep tech stuff you know, but dont forget you are a crazy niche within a niche and be nice to non-systems programmers XD

  • The Debian user who lets GRUB handle decryption AND updates (somehow, Debian is weird)

  • Linux Kernel 6.19 Will Introduce the Terminus 10x18 Console Bitmap Font

    Jump

  • Good to hear that the kernel fonts are very basic. I guess that makes sense? I find it a bit odd, is the kernel ever the only thing interacting with hardware, with no chance to let a userspace program run that?

  • Also excited what RedoxOS creates

    I just hope they get some industry funding soon. So many companies use embedded Linux but could really use a microkernel architecture.

    Google with WearOS, Chromecast, Home and whatever weird little appliences they make.

    A small kernel, dedicated drivers for hardware (that could probably be ported from Linux) and small programs

  • Linux Kernel 6.19 Will Introduce the Terminus 10x18 Console Bitmap Font

    Jump

  • Yes, the kernel doing hardware things and another parts doing rendering for example, interacting with the kernel.

    Text mode isnt just the kernel... the first thing that starts after the kernel is the init system.

  • Boot means initramfs plus kernel. Any other part could do that, doesnt need to run in kernelspace. I dont think the initramfs runs in kernel mode either.

    Linux is a big huge thing that is all very highly privileged. It works, very well, but it is kind of a security mess.
