Our recent article on Home Assistant observed that the project emphasizes installations using its own Linux distribution or within containers. The project has now made that emphasis rather stronger with this announcement of the deprecation of the "core" and "supervised" installation modes, which allowed Home Assistant to be installed as an ordinary application on a Linux system.

These are advanced installation methods, with only a small percentage of the community opting to use them. If you are using these methods, you can continue to do so (you can even continue to update your system), but in six months time, you will no longer be supported, which I'll explain the impacts of in the next section. References to these installation methods will be removed from our documentation after our next release (2025.6).

Support for 32-bit Arm and x86 architectures has also been deprecated.

The Fedora Council has ruled on the Fedora Engineering Steering Council's (FESCo) decision last year to revoke Peter Robinson's provenpackager status. In a statement published to the fedora-devel-announce mailing list, the council has announced that it has overturned FESCo's decision:

FESCo didn't have a specific policy for dealing with a request to remove Proven Packager rights. In addition, the FESCo process was handled entirely in private. The contributor didn't receive a formal notification or warning from FESCo, and felt blindsided by the official decision when and how it was announced. The Fedora Council would like to extend our sincerest apology on behalf of the Fedora Project to them.

LWN covered the story in December 2024.

Testing filesystems is a frequent topic at the Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF); the 2025 edition was no exception. Boris Burkov led a filesystem-track session to discuss stress-testing filesystems—and running those tests for lengthy periods. He reviewed what he has been doing when testing filesystems and wanted to gather ideas for what could be done to catch more bugs before the filesystems hit production.

If you’re using Linux and want to check what hardware your machine is running, you’re in luck. Linux provides several built-in tools and utilities to display detailed information about your system’s components. Whether you’re a developer, sysadmin, or just a curious user, understanding your hardware setup can help with optimization, troubleshooting, or system upgrades. Right from the start, it’s worth mentioning that tools like hwinfo, /proc, and command-line utilities make this process both powerful and flexible. Also, if you’re working with links or files often, you might want to check out this useful symbolic link guide.
