CentOS Stream 10 Set to Kick Off: Increased Activity Expected in 2024


As the landscape of enterprise Linux continues to evolve, CentOS Stream 10 is preparing to make its mark. This new version, which bridges the gap between Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), is already generating buzz in the Linux community, particularly for those who rely on CentOS for development and production environments.

The Transition from CentOS Linux to CentOS Stream
CentOS Stream serves as a continuous delivery platform, positioned as the upstream development branch of RHEL. It allows developers to access and contribute to what will eventually become the next minor release of RHEL. With CentOS Stream 10, this model is expected to become even more integral to the ecosystem, as it offers a rolling preview of what’s to come in RHEL 10.

Key Features and Expectations
While specific details about CentOS Stream 10 are still emerging, it's anticipated to follow the trajectory set by its predecessors, with enhancements in cloud-native capabilities, container support, and security features. Given the increased collaboration between Fedora and RHEL, CentOS Stream 10 is likely to incorporate cutting-edge features that will shape the next generation of enterprise Linux distributions.

The Role of the Community
The CentOS Stream community plays a crucial role in testing and providing feedback on the new features before they are finalized in RHEL. This interaction ensures that CentOS Stream remains a vital part of the Linux development ecosystem, balancing innovation with the stability required by enterprise environments.

Looking Ahead
As we move into 2024, CentOS Stream 10 is set to become a focal point for developers and system administrators who are eager to stay ahead of the curve in the rapidly changing Linux landscape. With more activity and contributions expected in the coming months, CentOS Stream 10 promises to be a significant release, offering a glimpse into the future of enterprise Linux.

systemd 256 arrives with run0, the ‘sudo clone’ that aims to improve security

systemd 256 arrives with run0, the ‘sudo clone’ that aims to improve security systemd 256 is now a reality, featuring an interesting innovation that could represent a significant change in Linux in the not-too-distant future, although this will ultimately depend on the decisions made by various distributions. Without further delay, let’s go over the main new features. First, we have the introduction of run0, a kind of clone of sudo that aims to enhance security by reducing the attack surface. According to Lennart Poettering, the creator of systemd, this is achieved by ensuring “the target command is invoked in an isolated execution context, freshly forked from PID 1, without inheriting any context from the client,” making its behavior more akin to SSH. And since we’ve mentioned SSH, there’s the systemd-ssh-generator , which has been added to detect if the SSHD binary (the SSH daemon) is present and then link it through socket activation per connection to various sockets depending on

Kubernetes 1.30 Available, New Version of the Container Orchestrator

Kubernetes 1.30, named “Uwurnetes,” has been released as the new stable version of the well-known container orchestrator, which originated at Google and is now under the umbrella of The Linux Foundation. The developers have described this release as "the most beautiful" in the history of the software and have announced it includes a total of 45 new features, with 17 in stable phase, 18 in beta, and 10 in alpha. However, here we will only mention the most important ones. The first notable update in Kubernetes 1.30 is the stable release of the Robust VolumeManager rebuild after restarting the kubelet. This involves a refactoring of the volume manager that allows the kubelet to complete additional information on how existing volumes are mounted during the kubelet's startup. Generally, this makes volume cleanup more robust after restarting the kubelet or the machine. Also arriving in stable phase is the prevention of unauthorized volume mode conversion during volume restora

Fedora Asahi Remix 40, the new version of Linux for Apple Silicon

  Fedora Asahi Remix 40 has been announced as the latest version of the Fedora-based system designed to run on Mac computers with Apple Silicon processors. This version primarily represents an evolution of what was already present, which is quite significant given the project's potential to enhance the Linux desktop experience, particularly in areas like sound. According to Fedora Magazine, Fedora Asahi Remix is developed through close collaboration between the Asahi Linux team and the Fedora Asahi Special Interest Group (SIG). It's worth noting that Asahi Linux is not a traditional distribution but rather a technology platform that enables running Linux on Apple Silicon processors. However, this doesn't stop its Fedora remix from being a reference system. As expected, Fedora Asahi Remix 40 is based on Fedora 40 and uses KDE Plasma 6 as its desktop environment. Therefore, the Wayland session should be the default, especially given the strong support this system has for th
