Sjoerd Simons has published a blog post about running Debian on the OpenWrt One router hardware: With openwrt-one-debian, you can now install and run a full Debian system leveraging the OpenWrt One's NVMe storage, enabling everything from custom services and containers to development tools and lightweight server workloads, all on open hardware. This project provides a rust-based flasher to install Debian on the OpenWrt One, opening the door to standard Debian tooling, packages, and workflows. For developers and power users, it transforms the OpenWrt One from a network appliance into a compact, general-purpose Linux system. See the GitHub repository for the code and latest build. LWN reviewed the device in November 2024, and covered Denver Gingerich's talk at SCALE 22x about the making of the router in March 2025.
A new version of the Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ has been released with enough grunt to run popular generative AI (GenAI) models, including Qwen and DeepSeek. The first generation Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ add-ons were designed for on-device acceleration of vision-based neural network models, but wasn’t powerful enough to run more generalised large-language models (LLMs) – something the new AI HAT+ 2 solves. Described as the company’s “first AI product designed to fill the generative AI gap”, the Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 packs in a Hailo-10H NPU with 40 TOPS (INT4) of inferencing performance and is paired with 8GB […]
by George Whittaker No matter how reliable Linux systems are, failures still happen. A broken bootloader, a corrupted filesystem, a failed update, or a dying disk can leave even the most stable setup unbootable. That’s where Linux rescue and repair distributions come in. In 2025, rescue distros are more powerful, more hardware-aware, and easier to use than ever before. Whether you’re a system administrator, a home user, or a technician, having the right recovery tools on hand can mean the difference between a quick fix and total data loss. What Exactly Is a Linux Rescue Distro? A Linux rescue distro is a bootable live operating system designed specifically for diagnosing, repairing, and recovering systems. Unlike standard desktop distros, rescue environments focus on: Disk and filesystem utilities Bootloader repair tools Hardware detection and diagnostics Data recovery and backup System repair without touching the installed OS Most run entirely from RAM, allowing you to work on disks s
Version 14.0 of the Forgejo software forge has been released. Notable changes in this release include several database improvements, new options for approving actions execution from pull requests, a new file editor, and progress toward making Forgejo's web UI work without JavaScript.
The FOSS Force Distro of the Week — Origami Linux It’s paper folding time at Distro of the Week. Well, sort of… Actually, we’re looking… The post (title) appeared first on FOSS Force.
Al Viro does not often stray outside of the core virtual filesystem area; when he does, it is usually worthy of note. Recently, he wandered into memory management with this patch series to the slab allocator and some of its users. Kernel developers will often put considerable effort into small optimizations, but it is still interesting to look at just how much effort has gone toward the purpose of avoiding a single pointer dereference in some memory-allocation hot paths.
Have you ever thought about what happens behind the scenes when you press the power button of your Linux machine? When your server is powered off, it’s a grand concert hall, silent and dark. The stage is empty and the ... Read more The post Orchestra Brought To Life: How A Linux Server Plays Its Symphony appeared first on Linux Professional Institute (LPI).
