📰 After one of its choppiest preview cycles in years, Linux 7.0 is almost ready

Linux 7.0's kernel hasn't had the best of release candidate phases. From the get-go, the release candidates showed more commit activity than usual, which sounds like it should be a good thing, but it really isn't. The release candidates aren't where new features get added; it's where features that have been added undergo testing. Therefore, the more activity a build has, the buggier it is.

📰 I stopped organizing my NAS like a PC, and everything got easier to back up and maintain

A network-attached storage (NAS) device isn't just another computer on the network. On your PC, you'll have a folder structure with one dedicated to documents, downloads, desktop, and pictures. That's usually how many Linux distros, macOS, and Windows handle things. It works fine for storing files locally, but things can quickly spiral out of control when you've added a few files to the system.

📰 The Linux kernel now allows AI-written code, but you're on the hook for it

In a world where AI code is entrenched within people's workflows, developers of all walks of life have had to draw a line somewhere. Some places will outright ban AI code, while others will fully embrace it, and each side has its advantages and disadvantages. Well, it turns out that the world of Linux has finally agreed upon where AI code fits within kernel development. Turns out, it's totally fine if you submit AI-generated code to the kernel;...

📰 Classic Capcom horror games are now playable on Linux's Proton—here's how to try them early

It was great to see Dino Crisis finally land on Steam earlier this year. Any effort to preserve the classics, clunky or not, should be applauded, as they show us just how far gaming has come since the early days. However, there was just one problem; while Dino Crisis 1 and 2 were being sold on Steam, they didn't want to play nicely on Linux or the Steam Deck.
