KaOS Linux Drops KDE Plasma After 12 Years for Niri/Noctalia to Escape systemd - 9to5Linux KaOS Linux 2026.02 distribution is now available for download as the first release to drop the KDE Plasma desktop for a Niri/Noctalia setup.

They're considering moving to the Dinit init system because systemd hates the traditional split /usr setup. Good on KaOS Linux to push back on systemd. share.google/tK5L3Hp9rsOw...

If you only use Ubuntu, you’re missing out on what Linux is all about If Ubuntu is your only Linux experience, you might be repeating the same pattern you tried to leave behind.

It's been almost a decade and he's *still* butthurt about the 2016 popular vote.

Winky says, "Krypto who now?"

So that's the list. I think it's possible to implement rudimentary job control and reboot/shutdown commands as shell scripts and/or aliases. Any ideas, hit me up in replies.

4. And oddly enough, there's no poweroff, shutdown, reboot or halt commands, even though /etc/inittab has entries for shutdown and reboot.

3. No process control commands. No ps, kill, fg, bg, and I'm assuming you can't add "&" to background a command. But the /proc pseudo-filesystem is available.

2. Also, no file and directory permission tools are included. You can't "chmod +x" that shell script you just made in vi.

1. The first thing noticeable once the system finishes booting to the shell, is that there's no login prompt. Or any user or group management infrastructure. It's basically like plain DOS. You're effectively root.

🧵Okay, I'm about to make a list of minimal Linux features that Floppinux lacks, but this is not a "trash talking" about the project, but rather opportunities for creative solutions that fit within that hard 1440K limit(or as add-ons via a second floppy image). So, here we go:

Surprise, surprise... Trump lied about softening ICE tactics in Minnesota. The only change is a tiny, virtually insignificantdrop in the number of total agents in Minnesota. They're still being 21st century Black and Tans.

I just discovered the historical group ICE under Trump most clearly resembles in their brutality and state-sponsored impunity. No, it's not the Nazis. Look up the "Black and Tans".

In fact, I might adapt the Floppinux tutorial to remake the "Sneakernet Linux" project I had quite a while back. While it won't fit on a floppy, it will be comparable to a minimal Tiny Core Linux installation.

The real purpose of Floppinux isn't providing an actual usable 1.44MB Linux distribution, it's to teach people the inner workings of Linux through building their own hyper-minimal Linux distribution.

🧵I just tried out Floppinux via qemu on my Android phone. While it is a certainly impressive technical feat to squeeze a recent Linux kernel and Busybox on a floppy disk, the amount of functionality leftover is little more than a demo. But...

This proves the Feds are now operationally concerned with upholding Trump's lies rather seek the truth regardless of where it may lead. Kash Patel must be impeached and removed for this and assuredly other derelictions of duty.

This sounds like it needs to be passed by *all* states if Congress fails to pass it. The DOJ under Trump and Patel have effectively abdicated their duty to even investigate murders by ICE. This is a way to start bringing accountability to the jackbooted DHS/ICE/CBP agencies.

I bet he left the earmuffs exactly like that throughout the whole, though likely very brief, shooting session too.

Even if you don't think you're at risk of being targeted by ICE, it's a good idea to know your rights and exercise them if the need arises: mobilize.us/s/fISzc5

Dear Rep. MarkwayneRickyBobbySteveDave Mullin:

Yeah, that'll do wonders for your party's already dismal approval ratings and midterm election chances.

This is the President* telling the second-in-command of the DOJ on his podcast that he wants his party to seize the voting process. He's literally and openly telling us he wants to outright steal the midterm election results.

But I have to say something about the mom in that moment: That remark is a confession that that the mom is still defending her previous political stance with a Trumpian lie. She is still engaging in dishonesty.

🧵The "SNL mom confession" skit is great, and the cherry of it for me was the mom's incredulous "Nobody seen this coming" remark while her own kids clearly did, and obviously told her before.

cpx Introduced as a Faster, Modern Replacement for Linux cp A new Rust-based tool called cpx offers a modern alternative to the traditional cp command on Linux, adding parallel copying, progress bars, resume support, and configurable defaults.

The current Linux trend of "replace everything with Rust" is utter bullshit. Here's a perfect example(the article calls it an alternative, but I guarantee there's distro managers thirsting to patch out the cp command for this crap, oblivious to the existence of rsync: linuxiac.com/cpx-introduc...

Protip for when the jackboots start deploying tear gas: be ready with traffic cones and bottles of water to douse the cannisters with. It's a pretty effective neutralizing measure when done immediately after the cannister hits the ground.
