Happy #piDay day everyone! Here's some nice @fedora 44 images of @gnome and @kde and Minimal running on the #raspberryPi 5! Details in the blog post https://nullr0ute.com/2026/03/fedora-44-on-the-raspberry-pi-5/

There will be further updates as we go towards the final #Fedora44

Broadcast audio, open standards, infinite possibilities 📡

Auracast brings one-to-many Bluetooth audio (no pairing required), and it's now fully supported in BlueZ! Ideal for public announcements, assisted listening, and multi-user audio experiences, come hear it for yourself at Booth #4-404, running on the MediaTek Genio 700!

#LinuxKernel

Oh, so many new faces here! Hello! I think the occasion asks for a brief introduction. I’m the lead program manager of @outreachy. I’m doing research on software freedom culture intertwined with social participation channels and dynamics at Lab Livre/UnB.

I’ve worked with several free software and open knowledge organizations and initiatives at this point. But I have a soft spot for Brazilian FOSS projects in academia and in the public administration.

This is the home of the #Linux long-timers. Many users grew up with Linux, #opensource software, and #community culture from the early days. Linux here isn’t a reaction; it’s identity, values, and continuity. #Experience means a lot here. #opensource #openSUSE

#Linux 6.19 is out, which will be followed by version 7.0[1].

For a list of new features see https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_6.19 as well as https://lwn.net/Articles/1057417/ together with https://lwn.net/Articles/1048869/ and https://lwn.net/Articles/1049424/

""No big surprises anywhere last week, so 6.19 is out as expected […]

I'm getting to the point where I'm being confused by large numbers (almost running out of fingers and toes again), so the next kernel is going to be called 7.0.""
