SteamOS is coming to a new Lenovo handheld as well as getting a general beta release, the WordPress drama continues to roll on, the 16GB Raspberry Pi 5 makes no sense to at least one of us (who now owns an N100 mini PC), the Linux Foundation seems to think Chromium-based browsers need a helping hand, we troll Félim, and more.

We dig into SQLite – an interesting and unusual project that is widely used but has an uncommon licence, a proprietary test suite, and doesn’t take external contributions. Plus printf() vs “proper” debugging.

It’s our 2024 review of Linux and open source news including the end of Linux on Mars, the xz backdoor, great stuff from GNOME and KDE, the WordPress fiasco, why the idea of decentralised social media started to catch on, Raspberry Pi’s IPO, and the inevitable Mozilla doom and gloom.

Gary observes that non-FOSS people don’t understand or care about licences. Chris admits that he too is somewhat clueless in this area so we try to explain the basics, and then get to the bottom of why “normal” people aren’t interested.

SteamOS is probably going to ship on 3rd party hardware, there’s a remote chance that games with anti-cheat will work better on Linux, new Raspberry Pi hardware divides opinion among us, AI security reports burden FOSS developers, Xfce gets a bit closer to a Wayland future, KDE Plasma’s donation notification really worked, and more.

We are characteristically cynical about GitHub’s token effort to improve FOSS security, more positive about FreeCAD 1.0 and elementary OS 8, somewhat ambivalent about the new OpenWrt router, understanding about Linux sanctioning the Bcachefs dev, and surprised that Félim is slowly starting to warm up to the idea of atomic distros (because KDE, obvs).

How worthwhile cloud certifications are, whether they really demonstrate much more than your ability to pass an exam, how they relate to real world experience, actually learning new technologies via certification, and why having too many certs can be a red flag.

Mozilla lays off another load of people and we offer to run the organisation for a fraction of what the current leadership earns, Fedora promotes KDE Plasma to the same status as GNOME, Félim’s Neon update goes wrong, Will has network issues with Ubuntu 24.04, and Joe still can’t get Apple devices to play nicely with his WiFi access points.
