Linux works best with multiple monitors. I’ve had many configurations over the years and have always liked having a dedicated monitor for specific apps such as Thunderbird or VLC. Using a machine with a single monitor severely retracts from my workflow/entertainment whether I’m using a desktop computer, laptop, mini PC, or even a single board computer like the Raspberry Pi 5. I’ve been putting the UPERFECT 15.6″ 1080p Portable Monitor through its paces.

Many WordPress plugin developers take a tricky approach: they release a limited core version for free under the GPL but lock key features behind a paywall or make them proprietary—turning the plugin into a commercial product. In this post, I’m sharing the five best free and open source WordPress plugins I personally use on this website.

Network monitoring and analyzing isn’t limited to servers; home network users should consider it too, including Linux users. And let’s be honest, not all of us enjoy dealing with text-based logs or CLI tools. That’s why an open source network analyzer with a dedicated GUI can be incredibly useful — and that’s where ntopng comes into play.

But before diving into ntopng’s features and installation, you might ask: Why should we, as Linux desktop users, monitor and analyze our networks?

The Lustre filesystem has a long history, some of which intersects with Linux. It was added to the staging tree in 2013, but was bounced out of staging in 2018, due to a lack of progress and a development model that was incompatible with the kernel's. Lustre may be working its way back into the kernel, though. In a filesystem-track session at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF), Timothy Day and James Simmons led a discussion on how to get Lustre into the mainline.

The KDE Project has announced the Plasma 6.4 release. New features include more flexible tiling features, improvements to the Spectacle screen capture utility, a number of accessibility enhancements, and much more. See the changelog for a complete list of new features, enhancements, and bug fixes.

The fundamental concept of checkpoint/restore is elegant: capture a process's state and resurrect it later, perhaps elsewhere. Checkpointing meticulously records a process's memory, open files, CPU state, and more into a snapshot. Restoration then reconstructs the process from this state. This established technique faces new challenges with GPU-accelerated applications, where low-latency restoration is crucial for fault tolerance, live migration, and fast startups. Recently, the restore process for AMD GPUs has been redesigned to eliminate substantial bottlenecks.

Accessibility features and the work that goes into developing those features often tend to be overlooked and are poorly understood by all but the people who actually depend on such features. At Fedora's annual developer conference, Flock, Lukáš Tyrychtr sought to improve understanding and raise awareness about accessibility with his session on accessibility barriers and screen-reader functionality in GNOME. His talk provided rare insight into the world of using and developing open-source software for visually-impaired users—including landing important accessibility improvements in the latest GNOME release.
