New to Linux? Seven things every beginner should know

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-09-09 14:16:09

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I can still remember the moment I switched from Windows to Linux. Back then, I didn't have anyone there to tell me what to expect. It would have been nice to get even a bit of advice from someone with Linux experience in the know to say, "Hey, you'll want to know about this before you start down that path." It would have made things easier. Instead, I took just dove right in, hoping I could figure it all out as I went. The good news: Linux today is n

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-09 12:53:53

In a decision Monday, New York State Supreme Court Judge Paul Goetz largely denied social media companies' motions to dismiss claims they argued should be barred under Section 230 and the First Amendment.

Date Everything will make you see your favorite household objects in a sexy new light

theverge.com Ash Parrish 2025-09-09 14:00:07

Date Everything! isn’t the dating sim it appears to be. Though the game’s cutesy art style and lighthearted premise indicate an unserious game that’s making yet another joke at the expense of the genre, Date Everything actually contains novel explorations of human relationships and sharp-as-shit political critique. Date Everything (the title technically includes an exclamation point) is a game where you, with the help of special glasses called “dateviators,” can turn everyday household objects

Andy Weir's sci-fi books are practically built to be turned into movies, especially in the hands of great writers and directors.
