GNU/Linux and Free Software News Mostly in Tux Machines Now

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 27, 2023

HIS site is turning 17 (in a number of week only!). It has about 60,00 pages and it focuses on technology, patents, and also GNU/Linux. The problem is, using the same software we already run a site devoted to GNU/Linux and posting the same here that we already post over there would be somewhat pointless. So after the system upgrade we decided that all the GNU/Linux news will first go into Tux Machines. Then, only some leftovers will be posted here. There will be almost no overlap in the links published.

We wish to remove duplication or reduce overlap. The two sites are on the same physical machine, so they're a bit like "sections" of the news. If you're after GNU/Linux news, please subscribe also to Tux Machines. █
