      • Red HatHow to build RHEL images for edge deployments

        As edge infrastructure scales outside the data center into remote locations, small-factor devices such as IoT, POS, and sensors that have Linux images, need a way to be updated at scale.

        The rpm-ostree core premise is that by default, the updates should base on a whole base image that is created and tested offline, and once ready deployed everywhere into the remote locations, overriding the previous image and lowering the risks of patching at scale.

      • Ubuntu MATE 23.04 Release Notes

        Ubuntu MATE 23.04 is the least exciting Ubuntu MATE release ever. The good news is, if you liked Ubuntu MATE 22.10 then it is more of the same; just with better artwork! I entered this development cycle full of energy and enthusiasm off the back of the Ubuntu Summit in Prague, but then I was seriously ill and had a long stay in hospital. I’m recovering well and should be 100% in a couple of months. This setback and also changing jobs a couple of months ago has meant that I’ve not been able to invest the usual time and effort into Ubuntu MATE. I’m happy to say that I’ve been able to deliver another solid release with the help of the Ubuntu community.

        Mobile apps and JavaScript: how does it work?

        I'll be starting by taking a look at Ionic/Capacitor, React Native, NativeScript, Flutter/Dart, and then a mystery guest. This article will set the stage and then look into Ionic/Capacitor.

        The angle I am taking is, if you were designing a new mobile operating system that uses JavaScript as its native application development language, what would it mean to adopt one of these as your primary app development toolkit? It's a broad question but I hope we can come up with some useful conclusions.

        I have so far bootstrapped and tested the release candidate on x86_64-linux, i686-linux, powerpc64le-linux and aarch64-linux. Please test it and report any issues to bugzilla.

        If all goes well, we'd like to release 13.1 on Wednesday, April 26th.
