The Valuable News weekly series is dedicated to provide summary about news, articles and other interesting stuff mostly but not always related to the UNIX/BSD/Linux systems. Whenever I stumble upon something worth mentioning on the Internet I just put it here.Today the amount information that we get using various information streams is at massive overload. Thus one needs to focus only on what is important without the need to grep(1) the Internet everyday. Hence the idea of providing such information ‘bulk’ as I already do that grep(1).The Usual Suspects section at the end is permanent and have links to other sites with interesting UNIX/BSD/Linux news.Past releases are available at the dedicated NEWS page.UNIX2025 OpenZFS User and Developer Summit.https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaUVvul17xSeOGarlPaZcqzsVF23PSd6wBastilleBSD 2025 User Survey.https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfC20jlNgngAki7xYGNgKCfJvQ2a0lAqpkJBotXXDVVuAteYQ/viewformDistroWatch OpenBSD 7.8 Review.https://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20251215#openbsdFreeBSD Git Weekly: 2025-12-08 to 2025-12-14.https://freebsd-git-weekly.tarsnap.net/2025-12-08.htmlMidnightBSD 4.0 Brings Many Changes to Its FreeBSD 13 Derived OS.https://phoronix.com/news/MidnightBSD-4.0MidnightBSD 4.0 Release Notes.https://midnightbsd.org/notes/4.0/index.htmlFreeBSD Foundation – 2025 – Year of Advocacy/Community/Growth.https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/2025-a-year-of-advocacy-community-and-growth/Installing Every Window Manager on FreeBSD.https://youtube.com/watch?v=q4PNSeNXEwwAdopting FreeBSD maomao Port.https://evilham.eu/es/blog/2025-FreeBSD-adopting-a-port-maomaowm/FreeBSD Desktop Installer Preview – Is It Any Good?https://youtube.com/watch?v=rKsdrGr1iBsOPNsense Mullvad WireGuard Setup.
