9to5Linux Weekly Roundup: June 26th, 2022
Submitted by Marius Nestor on Monday 27th of June 2022 04:23:26 AM Filed underThis week was all about software releases as Plasma users got a new update to their favorite desktop environment, video editors got new releases of the Pitivi and Shotcut apps, music and photography enthusiasts got new releases of the Mixxx and digiKam apps, and the next major Krita release promises big things for digital painting artists.
Not so many distro releases this week, but we did get a new version of KaOS Linux for fans of the latest and greatest KDE software, as well as a new EndeavourOS ISO snapshot that brought a major new feature for fans of ARM devices, and I had the pleasure of taking it for a spin on my Raspberry Pi 4 computer.

Josh Bressers: Episode 329 – Signing (What is it good for)
Josh and Kurt talk about what the actual purpose of signing artifacts is. This is one of those spaces where the chain of custody for signing content is a lot more complicated than it sometimes seems to be. Is delivering software over https just as good as using a detached signature? How did we end up here, what do we think the future looks like? This episode will have something for everyone to complain about!

Linux 5.19-rc4
Submitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Monday 27th of June 2022 01:44:42 AM Filed underSo we've had a couple of fairly small rc releases, and here we finally start to see an uptick in commits in rc4. Not what I really want to see in the middle of the release cycle, but not entirely surprising considering how quiet it's been so far. And while 5.19-rc4 is a bit larger than previous rc's, and is a bit larger than we usually see at this point, it's by no means anywhere near record size. So more of a "a bit bigger than usual" than a "Oh my God, this thing is huge". The changes are also spread out fairly widely, and nothing really stands out. I think the individually biggest patches are the reverts to the printk threading changes that people wanted to really think about some more, since the changes had caused some issues. The rest of the diffstat is _fairly_ flat, with perhaps the vc4 drm patches standing out a bit. So at least right now this all feels like "making up for a small rc3" rather than anything really worrisome, and probably just a result of timing some of the patches shifted into rc4. But let's see how this develops over the next couple of weeks. The full shortlog with all the details is below, and I don't think there's any larger pattern here. We've got all the usual architecture fixes, driver fixes all over the place, and filesystems, core networking, and tooling (perf and selftests). A lot of the changes here are one- and few-liners. Please do go test. Thanks, Linus

Windows vs Linux: What's the best operating system?
Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Sunday 26th of June 2022 02:25:32 PM Filed underThe way you utilise your PC can often depend on the operating system you use as well as your level of technical knowledge. Even though most people will turn to macOS or Windows when deciding on an OS, if you want something you can customise, there's nothing better than Linux.
Despite the fact that it isn’t as popular as Windows, Linux offers far more avenues for customisation than any other OS as it's built on an open source foundation. It's certainly more intimidating to the average user as a result, but it can be incredibly powerful, and rewarding, if you possess the skills to fully take advantage of it.
Obviously, there are advantages and disadvantages with both systems that are useful to know before making the decision on which is best for you.
