Valuable News – 2026/02/23

Wait 5 sec.

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.UNIXGhostBSD Switches to XLibre Over Wayland.https://ostechnix.com/ghostbsd-switches-to-xlibre-over-wayland/Call for Testing KDE Installer Dialogs.https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-desktop/2026-January/007438.htmlFreeBSD Git Weekly: 2026-02-09 to 2026-02-15.https://freebsd-git-weekly.tarsnap.net/2026-02-09.htmlPotabi: Technical Analysis of FreeBSD Based Desktop OS.https://privacylife.info/potabi-technical-analysis-of-the-freebsd-based-desktop-os/KDE Plasma 6.6 Released.https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.6.0/KDE Plasma 6.6 Released with Many Excellent Improvements.https://phoronix.com/news/KDE-Plasma-6.6Howto for FreeBSD 15.0 on Raspberry Pi 5 with NVMe.https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-arm/2026-February/005683.htmlGhostBSD to Use XLibre Server and MATE vs. Gershwin Desktop Decision in Future.https://phoronix.com/news/GhostBSD-Eyes-XLibreOpenBSD Jumpstart – Anatomy of bsd.rd – No Reboot Required.https://openbsdjumpstart.org/bsd.rd/Facilitate Screencasting/Recording with ffmpeg(1) Wrapper fauxstream on OpenBSD.https://github.com/rfht/fauxstreamNative FreeBSD Kerberos/LDAP with FreeIPA/IDM.https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2026/02/18/native-freebsd-kerberos-ldap-with-freeipa-idm/Terminals Should Generate 256 Color Palette.https://gist.github.com/jake-stewart/0a8ea46159a7da2c808e5be2177e1783GitLab on FreeBSD Using BastilleBSD Jail.
