When it comes to installing an operating system from scratch, users have the option to burn it onto a flash drive, then boot into it to begin the installation. However, if you decide to install a different OS, you must format the drive, then burn a new one. This process can be tedious, not to mention time-wasting. But if you use Ventoy, an open-source solution, you can instantly access several installations, even without burning or extracting them.

Gnu/Linux is an open-source operating system that's great for programmers, but is it good for gaming? If you are considering making the switch from Windows to Linux, you may want to temper your expectations just a tad. While Linux gaming is easier than ever—Valve's Steam Deck runs on a version of Linux, after all—it still isn’t on par with what you can get on Windows.
If you try to play any number of games, you will find that some can suffer small graphical quirks or decreased performance, while others won't work at all. Others may require some web searches and command-line tweaking to get playable. However, once you have the basics down, you will be surprised at how many games you can get running.
We have witnessed a lot of technological innovations since the inception of tech, and one of the recent improvements that’s nothing short of a marvel is gaming on Linux.

But today, thanks to Valve’s Proton and Steam Deck, Linux gaming has reached unprecedented heights, and it continues to reach new milestones. Hence, if you want to start your gaming journey on Linux, here are the best Linux distros for gaming.

Switching desktop environments always comes with some unsolicited troubles. You need to configure new settings, review installed applications, and maximize the resemblance between your old and new desktops. When you switch to GNOME, this hassle increases significantly considering how unique GNOME is compared to other Linux desktops.
Nonetheless, it is easy to get started with GNOME. You just need to know what things you should take care of after logging into the desktop for the first time. You might not find all these setups relevant, but in the end, they'll help you get the best of what GNOME has to offer.

Electronics engineering student Vlad TomoiagÃÆ is looking to get the diminutive Raspberry Pi Pico and its RP2040 microcontroller to run a functional Linux-based operating system — by having its Arm Cortex-M0+ cores emulate a 32-bit RISC-V chip.
"On power-up, the Linux image will be copied into RAM," TomoiagÃÆ explains of his creation. "After a few seconds, Linux kernel messages will start streaming on the console. The boot process takes about one and a half minute[s]. A prebuilt Linux kernel and filesystem image […] must be placed in the root of the SD Card."
The Linux ocean is rich in distributions. Therefore we need technologies that help us dive into it and discover its different distributions before installing them physically.Among the technologies that facilitate such a process is virtualization software.

Over the last couple weeks I have looked at the WebKit code with the intent of fixing a few things in areas of the web platform I’m familiar with as a personal curiosity. The code had always appeared hackable to me, but I had never given it a go in practice. In fact, this is the first time I have written C++ in my life! Marcos had given me a quick guide to set up my environment and I was off to the races.
It has been a lot of fun trying to get things to compile and making tests pass. And also have the chance to study how things are implemented in more detail. I wish web standards had some of the checks available in C++. Now I am well aware that C++ does not have the best reputation, but English is even more error-prone. Granted, the level of abstraction English sits at can also make things easier.

Judge Newman’s complaint contains previously unreported details about the events giving rise to the disability proceedings against her. For instance, the complaint discloses an allegation, which was previously redacted from an order written by Chief Judge Moore in the disability proceedings, that, in the summer of 2021, Judge Newman had a heart attack and underwent coronary stent surgery.
