- Droidian 5G and VoLTE (2026/02/03 15:21)The Droidian project is testing 5G and VoLTE support. I know this isn't mainline, but this is still fantastic news for allowing more devices to play with the Linux mobile ecosystem. They've also started a forum. https://forum.droidian.org/t/volte-and-5g-testing/64 submitted by /u/Aberts10 [link] [comments]
- I got tired of Linux audio problems being a mystery, so I made a CLI that explains why there’s no sound (2026/02/03 15:07)Linux audio is powerful, but when it breaks it rarely tells you why. I built a tiny CLI tool called `why-no-sound` that runs common diagnostics (PipeWire, sinks, mute state, HDMI, Bluetooth profiles, etc.) and explains the problem in plain English. It’s read-only, distro-agnostic, no root, no daemon. GitHub: https://github.com/johanfr1/why-no-sound Feedback welcome — especially edge cases. submitted by /u/Antique_Meringue [link] [comments]

- Live & recent football(soccer) data in your terminal (2026/02/03 03:54)Built this TUI for devs who can't stream matches at work but refuse to miss the action. What you get: - Live match timeline with auto-polling (goals, cards, subs) - Full match stats, formations, player ratings in focused dialogs - Embedded highlight/replay links and goal notifications - 50+ leagues (EPL, La Liga, Serie A, Champions League, World Cup 2026,...) The problem: Tab-switching to check scores breaks your flow. Browser tabs with live feeds are distracting. You just want to know when something happens or quickly catch up at the end of your day. The solution: Keep it running in a tmux pane. Get notified. Check details when you want. Stay in your terminal. Built in Go. Works everywhere (macOS/Linux/Windows). Quick Install: brew install 0xjuanma/tap/golazo https://github.com/0xjuanma/golazo If you're a football fan who lives in the terminal, give it a spin. Star it if it saves you from those awkward "refresh score website" moments. PRs welcome! submitted by /u/rocajuanma [link] [comments]

- Mattermost refuses to fix their license, gives community the finger (2026/02/02 19:26)Mattermost's (open source Slack alternative) license has always been a mess. In short, the official builds are under MIT and you can create your own builds under the AGPL. But nowhere do they state what license the code is released under. You can kinda infer that they mean AGPL, but some uncertainty remains, and that opens you up to legal trouble. An issue was opened about this 7 years ago. After doing nothing for all this time, they've finally went ahead and closed it Thank you for the community discussion around this topic. I do recognize that our licensing strategy doesn't offer the clarity the community would like to see, but at this time we are not entertaining any changes as such. This is a big F you to the open source community. Mattermost is advertised as open source and they have hundreds of dependencies they build upon. Totally unacceptable behavior in my book. submitted by /u/RepulsiveRaisin7 [link] [comments]

- Is anyone interested in a more “continuous” Linux experience between desktop and mobile devices? (2026/02/02 17:58)Hi everyone, I was thinking about something lately and I’m curious about the community’s opinion. On Windows/macOS, there’s a growing focus on continuity between devices: syncing, notifications, file sharing, clipboard, messaging, remote control, etc. On Linux we already have great tools (KDE Connect, GSConnect, Syncthing, Nextcloud, etc.), but they often feel like separate pieces rather than a fully integrated “ecosystem”. So my question is: Do you think Linux would benefit from a more unified desktop + mobile experience? For example: Native integration between phone and PC Seamless file/clipboard sharing Better app continuity Unified account/sync system (optional, self-hosted, privacy-respecting) We have projects like Plasma Mobile, Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish, and great desktop environments, but nothing that really feels “end-to-end” yet. Is this something you’d like to see more focus on? Or do you think Linux’s strength is exactly in being modular and decentralized? Curious to hear your thoughts. submitted by /u/marcogianese1988 [link] [comments]
- Is The Art of UNIX Programming by Eric S. Raymond worth reading after almost 20 years? (2026/02/02 15:46)Hi there! Has anyone here read this? I am a Linux beginner and would like to learn more. I was reading How Linux Works by Brian Ward, but though about giving a shot to this one too (heard it's more about the design decisions). If anyone else has more practical Linux material to learn from, I'd love to hear! Edit: Thank you all for the great insights and suggestions! submitted by /u/iBaxtter [link] [comments]

- I never really liked any img/iso writer utilities on Linux, so I finally made my own... (2026/02/02 00:40)Goals: Minimal dependencies, Tiny, Portable, Functional. Inspired by the Win95 Format dialog, and Win32 disk imager, I suppose. I did use some ai assistance, so feedback more than welcome. I've been using this myself for weeks now, and am very happy with it and proud of the resulting work.

- Linux's b4 kernel development tool now dog-feeding its AI agent code review helper (2026/02/01 18:15)"The b4 tool used by Linux kernel developers to help manage their patch workflow around contributions to the Linux kernel has been seeing work on a text user interface to help with AI agent assisted code reviews. This weekend it successfully was dog feeding with b4 review TUI reviewing patches on the b4 tool itself. Konstantin Ryabitsev with the Linux Foundation and lead developer on the b4 tool has been working on the 'b4 review tui' for a nice text user interface for kernel developers making use of this utility for managing patches and wanting to opt-in to using AI agents like Claude Code to help with code review. With b4 being the de facto tool of Linux kernel developers, baking in this AI assistance will be an interesting option for kernel developers moving forward to augment their workflows with hopefully saving some time and/or catching some issues not otherwise spotted. This is strictly an optional feature of b4 for those actively wanting the assistance of an AI helper." - Phoronix submitted by /u/Fcking_Chuck [link] [comments]
- Where to donate to? (2026/02/01 16:42)As a private desktop Linux user, who has very limited knowledge and understanding of technology, I'm aware that I'll never be able to support the growth of Linux and FOSS, other than by using it and spreading the word. I have a strong desire to support the community though and would like to contribute. As someone working in non profit full time, I know that acquiring funds is what makes or breaks a project. I'm aware that I can donate to the distro developers/communities or to foundations. However, as someone who isn't a developer, I'm ignorant of the underlying infrastructure that maintains the FOSS community. Which brings me to my question - What is the best way to financially support the development of Linux and FOSS as a whole? Where's the money most needed? I hope this is the correct sub for this question. If it isn't, I'm sorry. submitted by /u/Admirable-Honey-2343 [link] [comments]
