Operating Systems and Porting / Chimera Linux planning to retire support for Big endian for 32bit and 64bit PPC

Maintaining support for Little Endian is already hard enough. I can understand q66's decision. I personally has no particular softwares that would benefit greatly from BE.

Open Source and Libre Systems / Debianism: voting to prioritize diversity over freedom and security
« Last post by pocock on March 23, 2026, 01:07:07 pm »Debian elections are under way.
The nominations were due on Friday the 13th and only one person nominated. People still have to vote, it is a choice between accepting and rejecting the candidate.
The candidate is the wife of a male developer but she does not declare the conflict of interest.
In parallel, there is a public CIVS poll where anybody can now cast a vote. The community poll also includes Dr Norbert Preining
Having nominated on Friday the 13th, the votes finish on 17 April, the anniversary of a notorious Debian death that took place on our wedding day. This was the source of a lot of the conflict in the community over 15 years now.
Sruthi Chandran has said she wants to focus on diversity and there is a big risk that more developers will be humiliated or blackmailed.
Sruthi Chandran is one of the DebConf organising committee but they never provided any public report when Abraham Raji died at DebConf. When two workers at Amnesty International died they had external consultants prepare independent reports about the workplace.
Please use the debian-vote (subscribe) mailing list to ask questions of the candidate(s).

Operating Systems and Porting / A bootloader in Rust
« Last post by tle on March 18, 2026, 09:28:38 am »I just randomly bump into this interesting project https://siliconislandblog.wordpress.com/2026/03/18/booting-with-rust-chapter-3/
We all have been using grub for boot loader so to see yet another project trying to address shortcomings of grub is definitely intriguing.

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: [NEWS] Fedora 44 Beta is out!
« Last post by DKnoto on March 18, 2026, 01:55:30 am »It works very well on this machine, the MoreFine M600. I’ve been using this machine alongside the Talos 2 for over a year, since December 2024. During that time, I’ve experienced two or three instances of amdgpu crashing. I recently bought the latest version of the MoreFine H1, the AMD AI PRO MAX, but FreeBSD doesn’t work on this hardware yet.
