Introducing our new OpenSource project to harden your Linux systems against the wave of new kernel module security bugs: ModuleJail. A way for sysadmins to enjoy this kernel security improvement wave (mostly) without stress.

Our song: "We Run on Linux" is out now!
Thank you to everyone who’s streamed, shared, coded, jammed, or just ❤️ Linux in all its forms: this one’s for you!

New single incoming:
“Oh, Linux I Love You So” drops 10 January 2026 - get ready to sing along to the anthem we all secretly already knew. It celebrates that enthousiast spirit when we were using Linux for a year or 2 and explored all great stuff for the first time.

And the entire album?
We’re celebrating FOSDEM 2026 with the full release - mark your calendars to the last days of januari!

Let’s run on Linux together - OpenSource forever! 🐧🔥

🇧🇪🐧 OFFICIËLE OPROEPING – DIGITALE DIENSTPLICHT
Linux Belgium roept alle 17-jarigen op om zich voor te bereiden op hun toekomst:
niet in camouflage, maar in open source code. 💻✨

De wereld heeft geen behoefte aan meer influencers.
We hebben bouwers nodig. Denkers. Makers.
Mensen die grenzen doorbreken door samen te werken —
niet om winst te maximaliseren,
maar om vrijheid te behouden in de digitale wereld. 🌍

👉 Jouw missie (mocht je ze aanvaarden):
• Verbeter software die iedereen mag gebruiken, bestuderen en delen
• Werk samen over landsgrenzen heen via Git, e-mail en gezonde chaos
• Weersta de lokroep van gesloten ecosystemen 🧱
• Bouw aan een toekomst waarin niemand alles kan controleren

Verwacht:
💡 slapeloze nachten vol bugs
🔥 de euforie van je eerste “merge accepted”
🐧 en het besef dat jouw code morgen in een satelliet, koelkast of robot draait

Uniform: vrije keuze.
(Zwarte hoodie aanbevolen. Tux-shirt wordt als formeel beschouwd.)

32 years ago Linus Torvalds posted the historical words: "Hello everybody out there using minix – I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I’d like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things)."

Happy celebration fellow penguin-heads! ;-) 🎉 🐧 💕 ☮
