pearOS, a Linux distro that aims to look and behave like Apple’s macOS, is once again in active development with a new base, design, installer, and more.

French developer David Tavares initially created Pear OS back in 2011, based on Ubuntu and featuring the GNOME 3 desktop environment. The initial release, Pear OS 3, was based on Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) operating system and shipped with Linux kernel 3.0.

While Ubuntu was using the Unity interface back then, Pear OS offered a Mac OS X look-alike with a dock. In 2012, David Tavares released a Debian Edition of Pear OS, and a month after that, the developer renamed Pear OS to Comice OS, and the next version was renamed once again to Pear OS Linux a few months later that year.

Welcome to a new issue of This Week in Plasma!

This week the team made significant progress on KWin’s Wayland screen support. Specifically, better mirroring and custom modes — both items on the “Known Significant Issues” page — have been implemented for Plasma 6.6! The remaining items on that page are areas of active focus, too, as we race towards the Wayland finish line.

Grml, a live bootable Linux distro based on Debian and designed for system administrators and users of text tools, has been updated today to version 2025.12, a release that introduces new and updated tools.

Powered by Linux kernel 6.17 and based on Debian Testing/Forky repositories as of December 11th, 2025, the Grml 2025.12 (codename Postwurfsendung) release updates the grml-live build system for creating Grml (based) Linux live systems with a new TOR class, support for the grml-desktop package, and Debian Bookworm as the minimum host OS.

Grml 2025.12 also updates the grml-scripts console scripts to remove support for old scripts, including grepc, grepedit, iimage, logview, mailhops, notifyd, osd_server, qma, dirvish-setup, grml-iptstate, make_chroot_jail, and grml-swapon, and updates the grml-zshrc Zsh configuration with support for syncing global aliases from zshrc.local

Rust for Linux lead developer Miguel Ojeda posted the patch a short time ago to "conclude the Rust experiment". The "experiment" of Rust programming language code in the Linux kernel is over as it's now accepted to be a success and "Rust is here to stay" in the kernel.

Following discussions at the Linux Plumbers Conference this week in Japan, Miguel Ojeda is now comfortable in declaring Rust for the Linux kernel a success in being able to drop the "experiment" flag on the effort. Ojeda wrote this evening on the kernel mailing list

It's client dependent, but for that one the heart is the final karma score after downvotes and upvotes are calculated together

That's good you have admitted your wrongs, unfortunately, you are still required to repent upon the altar of nix

I told you already, it was fucking Q playing his dumb pranks!

Lol generally I'll refer to the OS builtin tooling (XProtect/MS Defender) and EDRs as "Antivirus" otherwise the non-techies will freak OmG wE hAVe NO aV! And then the "anti"-viruses like mcafee and Kaspersky mysteriously spawns

And also on-demand AV software can be good for spot checks or if you're sus of something.

It's the "Real-time" shit that hooks into the kernel that needs to be avoided like the plague

There should be some friction, otherwise it wouldn't be a very good boycotting strategy now would it?

[-] cm0002@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

This is a crosspost as part of my .ml boycotting efforts. It's a text only post and there's really no good way to crosspost a text post without a direct comm link. Instead, for text only posts I opt for tagging the OOP username.

Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.

Megathread on the issue

Some highlights from the link:

"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

"See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

"NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.
