If IKEA developed a distro?
Was checking out EndevourOS and realized the head of development is named Johannes Kamprad which begs the obvious question: what would an official IKEA distro look and function like? What would be the niche?

How can someone calling themselves "open source advocate" promote a closed & walled tech like Snap which doesn't even let users control their updates?

Where does one start learning Linux
Hi all,
I’m one of those guys that gets scared when he sees Linux being used on servers at work. I need to change this.
I have used Linux on my Pi and followed instructions to get me where I needed to be, but I want to spend the next 6-12 months learning it properly.
I have access to Udemy and wondered if there are any good courses I can buy there or somewhere else to follow and get me over this scary edge?
What did you do?
I’m a Windows guy and a certified network engineer so this would be great to add.
Thanks

PGP Packet Library
Hi everyone,
We ([https://summitto.com](https://summitto.com/)) open-sourced a C++17 based PGP packet library. Using the library, you can create packets, encode and decode packet data and create a PGP key from e.g. a raw elliptic curve point. We've seen quite a lot of bad publicity for PGP lately, but we hope this helps those who are still using it. Lo and behold:
