As you may know, GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a free and open-source image editing software used a lot on Linux systems, as a free alternative of Adobe Photoshop (that can be used hand-in-hand with Inkscape).

It is widely used by photographers, graphic designers, illustrators and digital artists, providing a set of tools for tasks like photo retouching, image composition, and graphic design. It also includes layer masking, color corection and digital painting, making the tool very powerful.

Telegram has eventually become something more than a mere messaging app since its official release in 2013. Back then, nobody could imagine that Pavel Durov’s project would become one of the most popular instant messaging applications with 1 billion active users.

If you use Telegram on your Linux desktop to communicate with other people or get information from its channels, there is a way to make the most of this platform and increase your productivity.

What this means is that there exist various Telegram bots, applications that run on the platform and provide additional features. The best thing about such bots is that they can assist you with different tasks, from document editing to SEO optimization, without leaving the Telegram interface.

When working with files and directories in Linux, it is often necessary to not only see the contents of a directory but also understand its hierarchical structure. Navigating through a complex file system without a clear visual representation can be challenging, especially when dealing with deeply nested directories.

Copying files and directories is one of the most common tasks in Linux, and the cp (copy) command provides a straightforward way to accomplish this. Whether you’re backing up important data, organizing files, or duplicating directories, knowing how to use cp effectively can greatly enhance your efficiency.

Archinstall 3.0.3 is here to improve support for the Limine bootloader by enabling UKI (Unified Kernel Image) support, placing the Limine configuration and BIOS files in a limine/ subdirectory, creating a proper EFI boot menu entry, add support for using UUID for accessing boot partition if it’s not the same as ESP, and improve Limine without the ‘boot partition unsupported’ message.

A typical cloud-computing host will share some of its memory with each guest that it runs. The host retains its access to that memory, though, meaning that it can readily dig through that memory in search of data that the guest would prefer to keep private. The guest_memfd subsystem removes (most of) the host's access to guest memory, making the guest's data more secure. In the memory-management track of the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit, David Hildenbrand ran a discussion on the state and future of this feature.

Alistair Popple started his session at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit by proclaiming that ZONE_DEVICE is "the ugly stepchild" of the kernel's memory-management subsystem. Ugly or not, the ability to manage memory that is attached to a peripheral device rather than a CPU is increasingly important on current hardware. Popple hoped to cover some of the challenges with ZONE_DEVICE and find ways to make the stepchild a bit more attractive, if not bring it into the family entirely.

At last year's Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF), there was a discussion about atomic writes that was accompanied by patches to support the feature in the block layer, and for direct I/O on XFS. That work was merged, but another piece of that discussion concerned adding the feature for buffered I/O, in part because the PostgreSQL database currently has to jump through hoops to ensure that its writes are not "torn" (partially written) when there is an error or crash. Luis Chamberlain led a combined storage and filesystem track at this year's summit to revisit the idea of providing atomic (or untorn) writes for buffered I/O.

Yonghong Song brought a story about tracking down the cause of a strange verifier error message to the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit. He then presented some possible ways to improve Clang's user experience for anyone running into the same class of error in the future. Toward the end of his allotted time, he also discussed the problems with optimizations that change the signature of functions — a problem that José Marchesi had also brought up in the previous session.

OpenRC is a fast and lightweight init system used by many Linux distributions like Alpine, Gentoo, and Artix. It helps manage services, ensuring they start, stop, and restart correctly.

However, if a service crashes or stops unexpectedly, it won’t restart automatically, to fix such an issue, you need to set up a system to restart services automatically after a failure.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to configure OpenRC to monitor and restart services automatically when they fail.
