Linux in 2025: Less Software, Less Features, Less Tested... & Slower
Big Tech & the major Linux foundations are driving Desktop Linux into the ditch. Plus: No "Linux Sucks" this year. That would be like kicking a crippled puppy.
Bonnie Freeman, Ian Freeman's wife shared an important post on X today:
"Please share this video with anyone who doesn’t understand the Ian Freeman case! Jacob Hornberger of the Future of Freedom Foundation explains exactly what the government did to get him imprisoned and out of their hair for 8 years!"
Some news regarding the new fork of x11 known as Xlibre: Bryan Lunduke has a new video out about it being released and implemented on OpenMandriva.
Also Artix has testing iso's you can download that use xlibre by default.

The source code for xlibre can be found on Github:
@alatiera People talk a big talk about free and open software, but then the devs are this guy, and you see why it takes Steam OS to get anything moving.
Haha. It looks like they deleted their cringe blogpost.
