Im April fand die #SUSECON statt - über 1.000 Teilnehmende haben sich auf den Weg nach Prag gemacht um aus den 140 Sessions auszuwählen. Neben dem aktuellen Trendthema #DigitalSovereignty gab es auch zahlreiche technische Neuigkeiten rund um #SUSE #Linux Enterprise, SUSE Linux Micro und Multi-Linux Manager. Neben einem Event-Wrap-Up mit Maximilian Herrmann haben wir auch Interviews mit Stefan Behlert, Johannes Hahn und Miguel Pérez Colino für euch. 🎙️ https://user.space/e019-susecon-2026/ #SUSECON26

Meine #Linux-Sozialisation

1996-2005 #SuSe:

• SuSE 4.2 (1996)— SuSE 9.3 (2005),
• KDE, später Xfce und mit LarsWM← haha, wer kennt das noch?

2005-2010 #Ubuntu:

• Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy Badger (2005)—Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat
• immer mit Gnome (dann kam Unity und dann Werbung und dann war es vorbei)

2010-heute (2026) #Arch +Arch-Derivate und #Debian

• in der Zeit: Umstellung auf Package signing, systemd-Einführung
• Alle Installationen die ich je damit gemacht habe, laufen noch heute

BEGIN RANT

I used Linux, many distros*, as my primary desktop and everywhere else from 1998 to 2012. I used Unix starting in 1982, with Macintoshes off and on since their introduction.

In 2012, I moved my primary "desktop" to a MacBook. I liked it a lot, and a Mac is still my primary desktop. Since I retired in 2015, I maintain very few servers.

So my Linux sysadmin skills have atrophied.

Auf "unserer" Realschule in NRW 2004 war dieser "Vorreiter" ein Lehrer, der Pinguin-affin genug war, um einen eigenen Informatikraum mit 20 PCs und Suse + KDE einzurichten. So haben "wir" damals einige Stunden Informatik auf dem KDE-Desktop und mit Internetrecherche in Konqueror absolviert. Die Workstations der Schule liefen sonst mit Windows 2000. Meine erste Erfahrung mit Linux zuhause könnte damit zu tun haben. War 2005, als ich Suse von mehreren DVDs installiert habe. Netzwerktreiber gab es für meine Hardware nicht und .exe-Dateien gingen im Texteditor auf. Ich war dann schnell wieder bei Windows. Aber immerhin war jetzt bei mir abgespeichert, dass es was anderes gibt. Bin heute Linux-Systemadministrator. https://netzpolitik.org/2026/vorreiter-verwaltung-und-politischer-rueckhalt-wie-open-source-in-die-schulen-kommt/ #Linux #opensource #KDE #Schule #suse

Zum neuen #LinuxMagazin 07/26 durfte ich zwei Artikel beisteuern: Der erste (https://www.linux-magazin.de/ausgaben/2026/07/susecon/) dreht sich um die kürzlich stattgefundene #SUSECON in Prag und behandelt u.a. die News rund um #SLES, #SUSE #Linux Micro und Multi-Linux Manager. Der zweite (https://www.linux-magazin.de/ausgaben/2026/07/patch-me-if-you-can/) startet eine neue Serie rund um die Patch- und Lifecycle Management-Suite Foreman/Katello. Im ersten Teil werden die verwendeten Projekte erklärt und installiert sowie erste Software-Inhalte lokal gespiegelt.

jemand verwendet noch #Suse ?🫣 https://podcasts.social/@userspace/116521737035618488

Feed: All Latest | Dangerous New Linux Exploit Gives Attackers Root Access to Countless Computers by Dan Goodin, Ars Technica AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A newly disclosed Linux kernel vulnerability, dubbed CopyFail (CVE‑2026‑31431), enables a local privilege‑escalation that lets an unprivileged attacker obtain root on virtually any Linux distribution with a single, unmodified script. Released by security firm Theori after a brief private disclosure, the flaw resides in the kernel’s crypto API where an AEAD template copy operation overwrites adjacent memory, allowing the attacker to elevate privileges, break out of containers, compromise multi‑tenant systems, and hijack CI/CD pipelines. Although patches were quickly issued for several kernel versions (7.0, 6.19.12, 6.18.12, 6.12.85, 6.6.137, 6.1.170, 5.15.204, and 5.10.254), many distributions had not yet applied them, leaving countless desktops, servers, and cloud environments exposed. Experts warn that the exploit’s reliability surpasses earlier high‑profile kernel bugs like Dirty Pipe and Dirty Cow, and they urge all Linux users to verify that their systems incorporate the relevant fixes or follow vendor mitigation guidance.
