📰 SteamOS 3.8 just dramatically improved a lot of handhelds except the Steam Deck itself
The Steam Deck just saw one of its biggest updates enter the preview phase, and if you're on the Preview update channel, then chances are you've already updated it. After such a major update, you might realize that not much has changed, though. SteamOS 3.8 is, by all accounts, one of Valve's most important updates yet. It expands compatibility, improves performance, and lays the groundwork for something much bigger than a handheld.

📰 sudo-rs adds a keyboard shortcut to quickly hide password feedback
The Rust-based version of sudo shows password feedback by default in Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, upending nearly 40 years of learned (and confusing) behaviour. Broadly, that decision has been well received, but those who want a quick option to temporarily mask their sudo input (no asterisks), just got one. You can now toggle sudo password feedback visibility by pressing the tab key.

I’ve been a fan of the Linux ecosystem ever since I got a taste of it with the Raspberry Pi OS (or Buster, as it was called back then) on my RPi Zero ages ago. Since then, it has been a fun journey involving distro-hopping shenanigans and virtualization experiments. But unlike most folks, my reasons for going down the slippery slope of Linux flavors were more than just dissatisfaction with Windows and a desire to bring old devices back to life...
