Arch Linux переходит на использование открытых модулей ядра в пакетах с драйверами NVIDIA

Разработчики дистрибутива Arch Linux анонсировали замену пакетов с проприетарными драйверами NVIDIA "nvidia", "nvidia-dkms" и "nvidia-lts" на пакеты "nvidia-open", "nvidia-open-dkms" и "nvidia-lts-open", в которых используются открытые компанией NVIDIA модули ядра. Решение обусловлено оставлением в драйверах NVIDIA 590.x только поддержки GPU, начиная с микроархитектуры Turing (серии RTX 20xx и GTX 1650), что делает бессмысленным поддержание в официальных репозиториях проприетарного варианта модулей, основной причиной поставки которого было сохранение поддержки старых GPU.

📰 I switched from Docker Desktop to Portainer, but this tool is better than both of them

Ever since its introduction, Docker Desktop has been the de facto standard for container management, but its resource-heavy nature forced many of us to seek alternatives like Portainer. While Portainer is powerful for fleet management, I have finally switched my entire workflow to Podman, and I can confidently say this daemonless, rootless container engine is better than both its predecessor.
