FreeBSD fans rally round zVault upstart
: Community fork picks up where TrueNAS CORE left off

Don't know if zVault is of any interest to anyone, personally i got bored by the fourth paragraph.
Xlibre, a new fork of the X.org X11 server, announced

I've not had a chance to read through it yet though on a quick skim this caught my attention.

Rocky Linux 10 is out, joining AlmaLinux 10 and RHEL 10
: We take a quick look at the headline features – and the growing differences

I've yet to try either; when I see new releases i often think I'll try them out later in a VM, but I never do.
I do have a lot of love for Alpine Linux, i wish i could run it as a daily driver.
Tiny and fast if you have Intel or AMD graphics, but the deal-breaker for me at the moment is that there are no musl Nvidia drivers, only nouveau.
If you need the glibc version of applications, you can get around musl by installing Flatpaks, but then things can start to get bloated.

For a moment there i thought i was on the Arch linux forum with the way you've triggered people for having an opinion!
Is Chrome OS Merging with Android? Apparently So
Google has said it is 'combining ChromeOS and Android into a single platform'. Why is it happening, and will the merger mean the end of ChromeOS as a brand?

Android boss suggests ChromeOS could be on borrowed time
: Gentoo derivative is the most popular Linux distro, but its days are apparently numbered

Well i had it completely the wrong way around as it could be Android replacing Chrome OS.
The perils of skim reading.

Antivirus vendors fail to spot persistent Linux backdoor

But if he is the first to find it, and it is difficult to detect, then how would he or anyone else know?
It seems to me that unless you're running Debian Stable (or a spin like LMDE), then updates are just relentless.
Even Ubuntu LTS doesn't feel like the safe middle ground that it used to be, skip a couple of weeks and suddenly you've got a gigabyte of updates pending.
Slackware used to take things slow, but I've not touched it in years. Can't even remember the last time I saw someone say they use it as a daily driver.
I've just discovered OpenSUSE Slowroll and it sounds perfect. It is kind of inbetween a rolling release distro and a 6 monthly release distro. It has monthly major updates and continuous bug and security fixes.

Thanks for that, I just checked distrowatch and it only got a small mention back 2023
DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD.
News and feature lists of Linux and BSD distributions.
I think that's more a reflection on distrowatch as the website is not what it used to be.
Funnily enough, i've been thinking the exact same thing recently or maybe I'll just use Intel's iGPU since it tends to work out of the box, being part of the kernel.
I'm sure Nvidia's open-source efforts will catch up in time, but with the push towards Wayland, AMD and their open-source community actually seem keen to fix things..
