"Linux Mint’s next release won’t be until Christmas 2026
Linux Mint has confirmed it is switching to a longer development cycle, in order to give the team more time to ‘fix bugs and improve the desktop’.
As a result, the Linux Mint 23 release is now slated to launch in December 2026. It will, among other planned changes, use the same installer as LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) as this offers better OEM install, SecureBoot and LVM/LUKS support.
Project lead Clement Lefebvre intimated that upending the distro’s standard twice-yearly release model was needed in February, noting that “…one of our strengths is that we’re doing things incrementally and changing things slowly”."

The French government’s digital agency DINUM is moving its workstations from Windows to #Linux, with every French ministry required to submit a plan by Autumn 2026 to reduce dependence on non-European software. Score one for the #OpenSource
#Frankreich schmeißt #Windows raus – 2,5 Mio. Regierungs-PCs sollen auf #Linux umsteigen. Warum? Digitale Souveränität, Unabhängigkeit von US-Konzernen. Die französische Gendarmerie macht das schon seit 20 Jahren und Schleswig-Holstein spart damit 15 Mio. € pro Jahr. Klingt gut – aber das Video zeigt auch, wo's noch hakt.

Qwen3.6-35B-A3B가 오픈소스로 공개됐다. 총 35B 파라미터 중 3B만 활성화되는 sparse MoE 모델이며, Apache 2.0 라이선스를 적용했다. 대규모 모델 대비 높은 성능의 코딩과 멀티모달 추론을 강조한 주목할 만한 신규 모델이다.

Devious Pocket: standalone, simple digital vinyl from any turntable

tl;dr The Gnome developer asked RedHat to be able to relocate to France and keep his job because of the awful political situation in the USA, which RedHat, after months, denied. The dev is now relocating to France nevertheless and enjoying culture and life. Lots of Gnome parts will need a new developer.
