Puppy Linux is yet another Linux distribution. What's different here is that Puppy is extraordinarily small, yet quite full-featured. Puppy boots into a ramdisk and, unlike live CD distributions that have to keep pulling stuff off the CD, it loads into RAM. This means that all applications start in the blink of an eye and respond to user input instantly. Puppy Linux has the ability to boot off a flash card or any USB memory device, CDROM, Zip disk or LS/120/240 Superdisk, floppy disks, internal hard drive. It can even use a multisession formatted CD-RW/DVD-RW to save everything back to the CD/DVD with no hard drive required at all.

It is a standard practice to use milestones to reflect on the achievements of a project, such as the anniversary of its first release or first commit. Usually, these are observed at five and ten‑year increments; the tenth anniversary of the 1.0 release, or 25 years since from the first public announcement, etc. Lennart Poettering, however, took a different approach at FOSDEM 2025 with a keynote commemorating 14 years of systemd, and a brief look ahead at his goals and systemd's challenges for the future.

Greg Kroah-Hartman has released three more stable kernels: 6.13.3, 6.12.14, and 6.6.78. There was a bit of confusion that resulted in the patch for CVE 2025-21687 getting applied twice — but that doesn't result in any problems for users of the kernel, just a bit of extra noise in the CVE database, so Kroah-Hartman has decided to leave the releases as-is instead of rushing another point release.

The 6.14-rc3 kernel prepatch is out for testing; the announcement, for unknown reasons, went only to the linux-btrfs list.

So the first few weeks of the 6.14 release development were smaller-than-usual, but rc3 is actually right in line with normal releases at this point. Probably just timing of pull requests, and we'll see how next week goes. But nothing looks worrisome.

Along with the usual stream of fixes, this release includes the "faux bus", designed for simple drivers that just need some sort of virtual bus to be associated with; this bus come with Rust bindings from the outset.
