So long, and thanks for the fish! In May 2000, the first issue of a brand new Linux magazine hit British newsstands, delivering a monthly mix of news, reviews, interviews, tutorials and learned insight on all things free and open-source — plus that all-important cover-mounted CD/DVD! Now, 25 years later, the final ever issue has gone on sale. Future, the UK-based publisher of Linux Format, hasn’t said why the magazine is closing, but one needn’t consult an Oracular Oriole to divine the reason

Canonical / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Ubuntu 25.04 has been available for a few weeks now, and I've found it to be another stellar release from Canonical.

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Finding a lightweight Linux distribution is as easy as closing your eyes and pointing to a list. Chances are good that your finger will land on a distribution perfectly suited for older hardware, giving that aging machine new life. On newer hardware, those lightweight distributions run faster than any OS you have ever experienced. Xubuntu is one such distribution. Xubuntu is an official Ubuntu spin that opts for the Xfce desktop environment (which is

May 6, 2025 – Ubuntu 25.10 is set to adopt sudo-rs by default. Sudo-rs is a memory-safe reimplementation of the widely-used sudo utility, written in the Rust programming language. This move is part of a broader effort by Canonical to improve the resilience and maintainability of core system components. Sudo-rs is developed by the Trifecta Tech Foundation (TTF), a nonprofit organization that creates secure, open source building blocks for infrastructure software. A Memory-Safe Future for Ubuntu

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET You have probably heard Windows users around the globe bemoaning the fact that their operating system of choice will soon no longer be supported. There are ways to extend that support, but they can be complicated and/or costly. If you think the same thing holds true for aging Ubuntu installations, think again. Unlike Windows, extending the support for Ubuntu 20.04 is actually quite simple, thanks to a service called Ubuntu Pro. Also: The easiest way

kutubQ/Getty Images For years, Ubuntu Server has been my go-to server operating system. It is one of the most widely used server OSs on the planet (especially when you add cloud deployments to the mix) and one of the most user-friendly server platforms available. To make Ubuntu Server even more appealing, you can download and install it on as many machines as you like for free. Ubuntu Server can be installed on bare metal (in other words, on a physical machine), as a virtual machine, or as a v

Screenshot by Jack Wallen/ZDNET As a longtime user of Linux, I've reached the point where I can practically install the operating system in my sleep. OK, not literally, because, well... that would be impossible. But you know what I mean. Shall I continue? I know many people who would love to try Linux but won't because they either don't have a spare computer or are afraid the installation will be too difficult. Allow me to allay those fears. First, a Linux installation doesn't require a spar

Jack Wallen/ZDNET Ubuntu has been synonymous with Linux for a long time. There's a good reason for that. Ubuntu is one of the easiest Linux distributions on the market, has incredible hardware detection, and has been based on Debian since the beginning.

Three security bypasses have been discovered in Ubuntu Linux’s unprivileged user namespace restrictions, which could be enable a local attacker to exploit vulnerabilities in kernel components. The issues allow local unprivileged users to create user namespaces with full administrative capabilities and impact Ubuntu versions 23.10, where unprivileged user namespaces restrictions are enabled, and 24.04 which has them active by default.

ZDNET The latest kernel has arrived, but as you've probably already assumed, it won't be available to Ubuntu distributions for some time. Why is that? Ubuntu has always been a step behind with the latest releases of software because it takes a rather Debian-like approach to upgrades. In other words, stability takes priority. It's not that the latest kernel isn't stable, but the teams behind the distributions haven't had the time to fully test the newest release against the entirety of the oper

ZDNET Debian is unofficially called "The mother of all distributions." This is partly because Ubuntu is based on Debian and so many distributions are based on Ubuntu. For example, Ubuntu Budgie is based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian. But just because Ubuntu is based on Debian, it doesn't mean the two are identical. They aren't. In some cases, the differences are obvious; but there are subtle differences you might not know about. Also: I've used Linux for 30 years. Here are 5 reasons why
