Linux's creator is stepping back from his Linux kernel work.

When you think of open-source software, you think about smartphones, servers, and the cloud. You probably don't think about movies, but you should.

The C language is very powerful, widely used—particularly in the Linux kernel—and very dangerous. One of the Linux engineers outlines how developers can cope with the programming language's security weaknesses. @Enterprisenxt

DIYers used a security flaw to bypass the $8.3 billion insulin delivery business with a cobbled-together artificial pancreas. By Naomi Kresge, Michelle Cortez.

With a sufficiently advanced Chromebook, you can now install and run Linux natively on it.

You can now smoothly move up from Ubuntu Linux 16.04, or later versions, to Ubuntu 18.04. Here's how to do it.

Steam's dream of Linux-powered Steam gaming machines never came to fruition, but the company has returned to Linux by bringing Windows-based games to Linux with a software-only approach.

In a wide-ranging interview at Open Source Summit, Torvalds talked about programmers, Linux, and open-source development.

Linux pioneer Gaël Duval is working on an easy-to-use, Google-free, pro-privacy Android clone for your smartphone.

A serious security memory problem in all Intel chips has led to Linux's developers resetting how to deal with memory. The result will be a more secure, but -- as Linux creator Linus Torvalds says -- slower operating system.

The City of Barcelona is migrating its computer systems away from the Windows platform, so reports the Spanish newspaper El País. The City's strategy is first to replace all user applications with open-source alternatives, until the underlying Windows operating system is the only proprietary software remaining. In a final step, the operating system will be replaced with Linux.

Skype snap widens the popular communications' program availability on Linux desktops, with easy installation and automatic updates.

In a German court earlier this week, former Linux developer Patrick McHardy gave up on his Gnu General Public License version 2 (GPLv2) violation case against Geniatech Europe GmbH. Now, you may ask, "How can a Linux programmer dropping a case against a company that violates the GPL count as a win?" It's complicated. First, anyone who knows the least thing about Linux's legal infrastructure knows its licensed under the GPLv2. Many don't know that anyone who has copyrighted code in the Linux kernel can take action against companies that violate the GPLv2. Usually, that's a non-issue.

Amazon has removed the popular media center Kodi from the app store claiming it facilitates piracy. The software, formerly known as XBMC, doesn't link to or host any infringing content, but third-party add-ons are giving the software a bad reputation.

It depends on how you count them.

"After 43 years, this is the first day that we are announcing, and will be distributing, a custom Linux kernel," said Microsoft President Brad Smith.

Back in 1996 I learned how to install software on my spanking new Linux before really understanding the topography of the filesystem. This turned out to be a problem, not so much for programs, because they would just magically work even though I hadn't a clue of where the actual executable files landed. The problem was the documentation.

Canonical CEO and Ubuntu Linux founder Mark Shuttleworth claims Canonical OpenStack is a better deal than either Red Hat or VMware's OpenStack offerings.

Tesla is still a long way from fully releasing its cars' full open-source programs and Linux operating system code, but it's on its way.

In this video, we look at the process for migrating projects from GitHub to GitLab.

The open-source developer community now confronts an acquisition of seismic impact. Today, Microsoft Corp. announced an agreement to acquire San Francisco-based open-source development community GitHub Inc. for $7.5 billion. Just as Oracle Corp.’s 2009 acquisition of the Sun Microsystems Inc.-developed Java sent shockwaves through the web developer ecosystem, Microsoft’s pending GitHub takeover is causing waves of concern to ripple across the global open-source developer community.

Code, test & deploy with GitLab. Everyone can contribute!

The Linux Foundation and Dice.com's 2018 Open Source Jobs Report shows the demand for open-source savvy employees is stronger than ever.

The oldest Linux business, SUSE, is changing hands.

You can keep your Windows 10 and macOS High Sierra. For me, Linux Mint 19 is not only the best Linux desktop, it's the best desktop. Period. End of statement.

It's now possible to upgrade directly from Linux Mint 18.3 to Linux Mint 19. But, it's not easy. Here's you do it.

Guido van Rossum, the "Benevolent Dictator For Life" of Python, has had enough and is walking away from leading the popular open-source language.

Is that service still running? What application is using that TCP port? These questions and more can be answered easily by sysadmins who know simple Linux commands. @Enterprisenxt

Social networking is often approached by the free-software community with a certain amount of suspicion—rightly so, since commercial social networks almost always generate revenue by exploiting user data in one way or another... By J. B. Crawford. (Dec. 12, 2017)

The denial of service bug had actually been patched in the Linux kernel weeks before news of it was ever announced.

Without question, Linux was created by brilliant programmers who employed good computer science knowledge. Let the Linux programmers whose names you know share the books that got them started and the technology references they recommend for today's developers. How many of them have you read?

Google loves to woo app makers to Android by whispering the sweet sounds of 'openness' and 'open source' in their ears. While that's not entirely accurate, they heed the call for good reasons. Read this article by Seth Rosenblatt on CNET News.

There are many ways to measure whether an open source project is gaining meaningful traction. Here how’s OpenDaylight’s doing it.

The Linux Foundation's OpenDaylight Project conducted a third-party survey that found 95 percent of networking pros want open-source software-defined networking technologies.
