For tips we have awk, the number and string wrangling do-all tool, more spring cleaning with dpkg, how to get tmux set up just right on a new install, and ydiff for much better diff highlighting.

This week the crew starts by looking at a KDE throw-back distro, then followed that up with a bunch of April Fools news, and a few April first stories that check out. FFMPEG puches out version 7, LXC mints 6.0 LTS, and EEVDF is about feature complete. Then the XZ SSH backdoor gets an update, and that conversation turns a bit philisophical regarding how nice Open Source should really be. For tips we have the awesome selfhosted list, vim, xz --version and zstd, and then some xfs tools for resizing a partition.

This week it's all about video connections. HDMI 2.1 is dead to us, DisplayPort is the future, and dongles are the temporary solution. Freesync is dead-ish, and long live VRR. How much difference does X86_64_v4 make? How about AMD's new c cores? Then there's Pingora, the new nginx killer from Cloudflare; a bit of depressing news about native Linux games on Steam, and our favorite guilty pleasure GUI tool. For tips we have last for tracking logins, a Gnome extension for monitoring AirPods; Warehouse for managing flatpacks, and qemu-img as a first step to resizing a VM drive.
