I already knew that the PrtScr key captures a screenshot of the full screen on Linux but only today I learned that Alt+PrtScr captures the current window. I discovered it while reading about the origin of the SysRq key.

browser crash could not cite the ref [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
> imagine namespaces as boxes for processes containing some abstracted global system resources, one good thing with these boxes is that you can add and remove stuff from one box and it will not affect the content of the other boxes. Or, if a process A in a box (set of namespaces) goes crazy and decides to delete the whole filesystem or the network stack in that box, it will not affect the abstraction of these resources provided for another process B placed in a different box. Moreover, namespaces can provide even fine-grained isolation, allowing process A and B to share some system resources (e.g. sharing a mount point or a network stack). Namespaces are often used when untrusted code has to be executed on a given machine without compromising the host OS.
> kernel assigns each process a symbolic link per namespace kind in /proc/<pid>/ns/. The inode number pointed to by this symlink is the same for each process in this namespace. This uniquely identifies each namespace by the inode number pointed to by one of its symlinks.
Reading the symlink via readlink returns a string containing the namespace kind name and the inode number of the namespace.

AMD wins at open source, GNOME completes Wayland support Linux & Open Source News
The March 2025 Android 15 feature drop brought to my Pixel 7 Pro the Linux Terminal app shown here. It's the Android equivalent of the Crostini Linux container of ChromeOS. Right now it's only a terminal with no graphics but Google is working on it.

Here is this week's #Linux & #OpenSource News video, in which AMD wins at open source, again, but their latest GPUs prove to leave some performance on the table on Linux, GNOME adds a lot of Wayland support to GNOME 48, and EA releases the source code for Command & Conquer games:

About backup and switching to a different distro
I’m going to move away from Windows into Linux and have some strategical questions, among others how do you handle backups/restore and how do you switch distros.
There are two main questions (in case of catastrophic failure or transition):
- How do you reinstall your apps? I’m considering ansible for that - have all my installs (as much as possible) done through ansible playbooks.
- How do you recover your backup data? Just copy from backup to home directory probably won’t do when it comes to a different distro, or? Here I’m considering doing ZFS snapshosts (ZFS pool/datasets would be used for my home directory) to my backup server but not sure how to recover it in case of switching to a different distro. It should be copy in the case of system restoration I guess.
Any other recommendations?
