What do you guys think is the future of Tiny Core Linux?

Most of you guys may be aware by now that the latest editions of the Linux kernel have dropped support for i486 and i586/Pentium CPUs (i686 CPUs, i.e. Pentium Pro, are not effected). This is not an issue for most Linux distros as even the ones oriented around retro PCs typically require Pentium 3 at minimum.

Tiny Core Linux is the rare exception, being that it's a Linux distro targetted specifically at running at 10MB and running on Windows 95 era systems. Its minimum processor is i486DX (Intel 80486 processor with math coprocessor) and its recommended processor is the first generation of Intel Pentium.

Juanito (one of the Tiny Core Linux Forum administrators) did respond with "That's the aim - if possible" to the in-forum wishes of continuing i486 support, but continuously patching newer and newer kernels may be a cumbersome effort,

With all of that being said, do you guys think Robert Shingledecker and the TLC community will continue support on i486 and continuously patch the Linux kernel, stay in the older kernel and add features and security patches there or bite the bullet and move to i686?

PS. Hello from Windows 10! I may switch my PCs from Windows 10 and macOS Sequoia/Tahoe to Linux Mint and Lubuntu. I haven't used Linux much thus far, but I've been following the Linux sphere for a little bit. I ask the titular question mainly out of curiosity.

Halloween ideas for linux club assembly

Accidentally i've become the president of linux club in my university(there were no other candidates) and occur that now I'm admin of telegram chat with 550 member. Other admins instructed me to come up with ideas for helloween day. The only idea i created is to make questions in "Jeopardy" style. The main problem is that amount of active people in this chat is about 60(people who have linux installed on main system), other 500 there just for fun cause previous presidents were giving free stickers and snacks for people who subscribe. How I can provoke interest of newbies and what activities to add, so newbies and other people were interested in it?

PS: the most magical thing in linux for stranger is ricing. But it's long/hard.

what counts as a distro?

so i just found out about omarchy linux, which is basically arch with hyprland with some preinstalled tools and themes, and now im quesioning if it even counts as a distro, i understand why someone wouldnt want to go through the hassle of installing arch then installing additional tools (especially newcomers) but what really makes it its own distro?
for example lubuntu and xubuntu, do they really count as distros seperate from ubuntu? if u were to use xfce or lxqt in debian u would still be using debian either way.
u cant say its even about the init system cus u can use openrc or gnome in gentoo but in either case ud still be using gentoo.
i understand how the package manager and repos would make a distro a distro, so then what makes endeavor os its own distro if it uses pacman and the same arch repos?
anyway im not throwing shade on any distros i think all these projects are amazing, but i just wanna know is a distro a distro when it just has its own sort of community and people?
so what do u think guys am i just tweaking or what?

uutils bug breaks automatic updates in Ubuntu 25.10

via Canonical:

> Some Ubuntu 25.10 systems have been unable to automatically check for available software updates. Affected machines include cloud deployments, container images, Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server installs.

The issue is caused by a bug in the Rust-based coreutils rewrite (uutils), where date ignores the -r/--reference=file argument. This is used to print a file's mtime rather than display the system's current date/time. While support for the argument was added to uutils on September 12, the actual uutils version Ubuntu 25.10 shipped with predates this change.

Curiously, the flag was included in uutils' argument parser, but wasn't actually hooked up to any logic, explaining why Ubuntu's update detection logic silently failed rather than erroring out over an invalid flag.

Do you think Linux is the future of home desktops?

I feel like with the current trends in Windows development (telemetry, AI, ads, hardware reqs, bloatware) the alternatives in the form of GNU/Linux distributions become more and more attractive in comparison. And thanks to Valve, gaming has become almost seemless. I've been using Mint for a better half of the month and I don't see any reason to come back (yet?).

Fix for bluetooth woes - Intel AX201 chip

I did an update recently and my bluetooth stopped working. It turned out to be a regression in the firmware (so I'll try to report it upstream) but maybe this will help someone else in the same situation. This was on voidlinux but it might affect anyone on an up to date system.

Symptom: bluetooth won't always connect and if it did it would produce terrible sound - halts and stammers.

Chip is an Intel AX201, lsusb gives:

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 8087:0026 Intel Corp. AX201 Bluetooth

I found that an old Mint USB stick worked fine so I thought to try an older version of the firmware:

From dmesg I found that the firmware is /lib/firmware/intel/ibt-19-0-0.sfi and ibt-0040-0041.ddc

The Mint 8 version is 249-27.23

The Void version is 193-33.24 (ie 2024 and newer)

Get the correct 2023 firmware files:

cd /tmp
wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/intel/ibt-19-0-0.sfi?h=20231030 -O ibt-19-0-0.sfi.20231030.249-27.23
wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/intel/ibt-0040-0041.ddc?h=20231030 -O ibt-0040-0041.ddc.20231030.249-27.23

sudo cp /lib/firmware/intel/ibt-19-0-0.sfi /lib/firmware/intel/ibt-19-0-0.sfi.193-33.24
sudo cp /lib/firmware/intel/ibt-0040-0041.ddc /lib/firmware/intel/ibt-0040-0041.ddc.193-33.24
sudo cp ibt-19-0-0.sfi.20231030.249-27.23 /lib/firmware/intel/ibt-19-0-0.sfi
sudo cp ibt-0040-0041.ddc.20231030.249-27.23 /lib/firmware/intel/ibt-0040-0041.ddc
sudo reboot

bluetooth (& wifi) work perfectly.

Now I just have to keep an eye on it manually after every update to see if it changes.

Linux - Ubuntu 24.04 Lts keeps crashing.

Folks - facing issue when booting into Ubuntu instance, that's at initial boot time.
Post rebooting, in bios if i specifically pick only 6.14.0-29-generic from GRUB then only it works

Choosing other kernel version like 6.15.0 or 6.15.0-33-generic from GRUB screen still results in Kernel Panic

Setup
Dual booting OS on separate boot drives
Storage
M.2_1: Lexar SSD NM790 2TB -> Feodra
M.2_2: Lexar SSD NM790 2TB -> Ubuntu

I got two boot drives
Main - Fedora-42 (works perfectly fine, no issues or whatsoever. This setup for personal use time)

Secondary - Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (uname -r 6.14.0-29-generic), runs into kernel panic at 1st launch and frequent crashes when using it, error logs below)


Hardware
Asus Motherboard
Intel Core Ultra Arrowlake CPU
Nvidia D-GPU

Ubuntu 24.04 at initial boot after selecting drives from bios

I need desperate help

I dont use reddit much so I dont know if there is a specific place to put this but I'll just put it here for now. I basically trapped myself in the bios menue of a laptop after an archinstall gone wrong. When I try to boot into the USB it just goes back to the bios menue. The only devices in my house are a Chromebook from my uncle (which i dont know how to get an iso from) a work desktop (which from my mom I dont think would allow me to download etcher. And the bricked laptop. Is there anything I can do?

Graphics card fun with X11...

Today my colleague installed Manjaro KDE on his PC. Everything was set up well and cleanly. Only the performance with his gtx 960 and the 580 driver (which is his current one) with x11 was not optimal. A lot of jerking and a bit sluggish. The gtx960 is actually a pretty good GPU. Well. We've been fiddling around with the nvidia settings for a while, including the kwin compositor... didn't bring any improvement. A little annoyed, we wanted to look for another distribution when I noticed that it was running x11. So I switched to wayland and lo and behold:
The box performs excellently. Why none of us had the idea to check which session was active when we first started...
Well. Apparently the plasma version and the nvidia driver are no longer compatible with x11...
We could have saved ourselves all the fiddling around 😅
