Linux

Torvalds joked about blaming AI for Linux 7.3-rc2 — what actually happened

The joke: “We’ll obviously all blame it on AI”

Linux 7.3-rc2 came out on Sunday 6 September, and Linus Torvalds ended the announcement with this: “It might be just random, but we’ll obviously all blame it on AI, because whether that’s really the cause or not, it’s an easy thing to blame ;)” [1]. That line made the headlines [2]. The rest of the email, where he lists what actually made the release big, got far less attention [3].

Getting started with Ubuntu on your desktop

I have been using Linux for a long time. Some times with a Dual Boot setup - that is when the system starts you choose between the installed operating systems e.g. Windows and Linux. And I have been using Linux as the main desktop as well. In this post I will be exploring getting started with Ubuntu.

This write-up will document my choices and reasonings for those choice. Mainly as a reminder to myself but perhaps it can be of use to you too! It will be a “Work-in-Progress” so consider it ever-changing.
