Zephix is a live Linux operating system based on Debian's stable branch. It runs totally from removable media without touching any files stored on the user's system disk. The aim of Zephix is to provide a free modular operating system that users can carry with them and use wherever there is a laptop or a desktop system available. The default ISO image comes without any graphical interface, but several desktop modules are available separately, together with other various popular application modules. Users can also create their own modules using built-in scripts.

Mitchell Hashimoto has written a blog post about "fully embracing the GObject type system" with a rewrite of the GTK version of Ghostty:

In addition to memory management [improvements], we can now more easily create custom GTK widgets. This let us fully embrace modern GTK UI technologies such as Blueprint. For example, here is our terminal window Blueprint file. This has already led to more easily introducing GUI features like a new GTK titlebar tabs option, an animated border on bell, etc.

The rewrite is now the default if one builds Ghostty from source, and will be included in the 1.2 release that is expected in the next few weeks. LWN covered Ghostty in January.

The purpose of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) is to provide a specification for filesystem layout; it specifies the location for files and directories on a Linux system to simplify application development for multiple distributions. In its heyday it had some success at this, but the standard has been frozen in time since 2015, and much has changed since then. There is a slow-moving effort to revive the FHS and create a FHS 4.0, but a recent discussion among Fedora developers also raised the possibility of standardizing on the suggestions in systemd's file-hierarchy documentation, which has now been added to the Linux Userspace API (UAPI) Group's specifications.

In this tutorial, we will explain how to install DEB on AlmaLinux 10 OS. A .deb file is a software package format primarily used in Debian-based distributions. A .deb file is a compressed archive that contains the program’s files, including installation scripts and metadata. Although the .deb files are a core part of Debian-based Linux distributions and are widely used in Debian and its derivatives, it is possible to install .deb packages on RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) distributions, such as AlmaLinux, CentOS, Rocky Linux, and Fedora.

Installing .deb packages on AlmaLinux 10 is a straightforward process that typically takes between 5 and 10 minutes. Let’s get started!
