OpenBSD 7.6, the release in which every single line of the original code form the first release has been edited or removed, has been released. There’s a lot of changes, new features, bug fixes, and more in 7.6, but for desktop users, the biggest new feature is undoubtedly hardware-accelerated video decoding through VA-API.

Subject: Linus Torvalds declares war on the passive voice
Picture this. A developer submits a patch to improve the kernel's performance, only to be met with the scornful gaze of Linux chieftain Linus Torvalds, who declares: "Ah, but your participle is dangling! How do you expect the kernel to thrive under such conditions?"

Subject: Why Desktop Linux Matters, Even If (Almost) No One Uses It
Linux. You've heard about it. You've maybe even tried it. However, statistically, you probably don't use it. Globally as of 2024, just over 4% of desktop PCs run Linux. That's a tiny slice of the market, and yet it's a milestone for Linux worth celebrating.
