Linux Mint 22.2 Zara is available now<\/a>. Existing Mint 22.1 users can choose to upgrade or stay with their current version.<\/p>\n Ubuntu 25.10 is a month away. I tried it and shared the new features in the latest video<\/a>. Among those features, I find the switch to Rust-based sudo the most intriguing. I am working on an article that takes a deeper look at it. <\/p>\n KDE’s very own Arch-based distro makes the first alpha release and Sourav already took it for testing<\/a>.<\/p>\n These were some of the highlights from this week.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udcac Let’s see what else you get in this edition<\/strong><\/p>\n PrepperDisk<\/strong><\/b><\/a> gives you a fully offline, private copy of the world\u2019s most useful open-source knowledge\u2014so your access doesn\u2019t depend on big platforms, networks, or gatekeepers.<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n Built on a Raspberry Pi, it bundles projects like Wikipedia, maps, and survival manuals with tools we\u2019ve built and open-sourced ourselves. It\u2019s a way to safeguard information freedom: your own secure, personal archive of open knowledge, ready anywhere\u2014even without the internet.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara”<\/a> has been released.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/a><\/figure>\n GNOME has had to take a step back<\/a> in its campaign to remove X11 support.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/a><\/figure>\n KDE Linux is finally here<\/a>, albeit in an unfinished alpha form.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/a><\/figure>\n Considering buying an SSD? Speed isn’t everything<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/a><\/figure>\n Or, how about a Linux distribution<\/a> that turns any machine into a retro gaming console?<\/p>\n <\/p><\/a><\/figure>\n Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka is less than a month away. New terminal with container integration, new sudo are among the main highlights. Watch them in action in this new video<\/a>.<\/p>\n Can you spot all the errors with these Linux Commands<\/a>?<\/p>\n <\/p><\/a><\/figure>\n Why should you opt for It’s FOSS Plus membership:<\/span><\/p>\n \u2705 Ad-free reading experience<\/span> In GNOME, you can resize the window without placing the cursor at the edge or corner and dragging. Open GNOME Tweaks<\/a> and go to the Windows<\/em> section. Here, enable the “Resize with Secondary-Click<\/em>” option. Also, remember to set a modifier key (it is the Super key by default<\/em>).<\/p>\n Now, in an active window, hold the modifier key and then right-click<\/em> and drag anywhere in the window. Another thing to note is that this behavior is enabled by default in KDE Plasma, where the Super key<\/em> is a modifier key.<\/p>\n Linux is very versatile! \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n On September 9, 1947<\/strong>, engineers working on the Harvard Mark II<\/a> computer found a moth stuck in a relay, causing the system to malfunction. They taped it into the logbook with the note “First actual case of bug being found.<\/em><\/strong>” Grace Hopper<\/a> later shared the story, making it the most famous “computer bug<\/em>” in history.<\/p>\n FOSSers are discussing what the most underrated Linux distro<\/a> is.

\nWhat is the most underrated Linux distribution?<\/div>\nThere are some distros like Debian, Ubuntu and Mint that are commonly used and everyone knows how good they are. but There are others that are used only by a few people and perform equally as well. Would you like to nominate your choice for the most underrated Linux distro? I will nominate Void Linux\u2026 it is No 93 on distrowatch and performs for me as well as MX Linux or Debian.<\/div>\n![\"FOSS](\"https:\/\/itsfoss.com\/content\/images\/icon\/f274f9749e3fd8b4d6fbae1cf90c5c186d2f699c_2_180x180-68.png\")
