Awesome! Well done, my dude!

LCOS 0.6 : Rust-Free Kernel, New Text Editor The 2nd Beta release of the Lunduke Computer Operating System adds new software, a custom Linux kernel, and lots of fixes. LCOS GitHub Page: github.com/BryanLunduke/LCOS LCOS on DistroWatch: distrowatch.com/table.php?di…

“DHH is evil! He probably wants to own slaves! His grandpa probably owned slaves! You can tell by his voice!” These people are broken.

I think the creator of CentOS and Rocky Linux is right about this. Locally hosted LLM’s make a great deal of sense to me… but… The idea of running Chinese models (not open source) on my hardware raises multiple red flags (pun intended).

I wish GNOME and KDE would respond to critical journalists… but they do not. In fact, KDE has repeatedly attacked The Lunduke Journal, calling me a “Sneaky Little Nazi” and their representatives have repeatedly harassed, threatened, and bullied anyone who spoke to me. GNOME even has a formal policy of permanently banning any GNOME member who mentions me in a positive light (or posts a link to the stories I publish). GNOME’s “ban for liking Lunduke” policy is the only such official policy which exists in the entire computing world (including Big Tech and Open Source). I will continue to ask both GNOME and KDE for comments on important stories… but I don’t expect them to respond.

Debian Linux now has an official AI / LLM developer portal, with a monthly LLM token pool donated by Scaleway.

KDE Leader Calls Omarchy Funders a "Rouges Gallery of Villains" Official KDE Statement: "KDE does not harbor fascists", "We neither have nor want a relationship with Omarchy."

The second Beta release (0.6) of The Lunduke Computer Operating System (LCOS) is now available for download. The big news: LCOS now has its own, custom Linux kernel. Based on the latest Linux Kernel, without the Rust. You could say it's... stainless. For this release, the new "Lunduke" kernel is optional (with the previously used, upstream 6.x kernel remaining default on the ISO) while it undergoes some additional testing. There's also a new text editor in the repository (Lunduke Edit), which more closely follows the LCOS vision. Basically a lot of great opportunities to put my name on more things. 😎 github.com/BryanLunduke/LCOS…

GNOME spokesperson, Jordan Petridis, has proposed the complete ban of using AI, in any way, related to GNOME. "LLMs ('AI') can not be used to create or modify anything submitted to GNOME, or hosted on GNOME infrastructure." Adding that, "You might be banned for trying to circumvent this policy." As of this moment, this is merely a policy proposal. However: - The person making this proposal is one of the most vocal and prominent in the GNOME world (including drafting a large number of release announcements of GNOME itself). - This approach appears to be supported by a large percentage of GNOME members (and Board members). As such, it seems reasonably likely that a version of this will become official GNOME policy. (Fun Side Note: This policy would make the punishment for using AI the same as the punishment for linking to a Lunduke Journal story... banned from GNOME.) blogs.gnome.org/alatiera/202…

Linux AI Patches Soars to 17%. Yet another record week for AI / LLM development of the Linux kernel, with 1,634 AI generated code submissions.

Governor Newsom of California has announced a 4 person team of “AI Experts” who will advise on how to accelerate “oversight of AI companies” and create a “kill switch” for AI. The 4 person team is filled with Leftist partisans, with extreme conflicts of interest (some would be creating policy to oversee the very companies who pay them). Jason Goldman - Democrat. Obama staffer. On the board of CSAIP (a “progressive” aligned policy shop). Gillian Hadfield - Canadian (not American). Spent 5 years at OpenAI designing their policies. Currently has a paid role at Google, which she would be advising California on how to oversee. Alondra Nelson - Democrat. Biden staffer. Worked for John Podesta. Adviser to Obama Foundation. Rob Reich - (Not the economist, Robert Reich). Biden AISI advisor. gov.ca.gov/2026/09/23/govern…

One of the most influential KDE developers, Nate Graham, has made some (extreme) statements regarding @OmarchyLinux, @FrameworkPuter, & @DHH. The KDE leader also suggested that financial contributors to Omarchy Linux (such as the CEOs of Dell, Spotify, Stripe, Cloudflare, and Dropbox) were a “rogue gallery of villains”. He says that KDE only took money from Framework Computer “after verifying that Framework had severed their ties with DHH and Omarchy”. Which, he says, happened after “Omarchy received a ludicrous amount of money from a veritable rogues gallery of villains.” “Omarchy is radioactive in KDE,” the KDE developer stated. “Nobody I know wants to have anything to do with them.” He also made statements relating this to a “pro AI nazi bar”. Nate Graham is one of the most visible leaders of the KDE community, a past elected board member, and is currently the CEO of Techpaladin Software — which funds KDE development and was hired by @Valvesoftware to work on the SteamOS desktop (which is KDE). pointieststick.com/2026/09/2…

Linux Market Share Hits 15% (in North America) How many of these "Desktop Linux" users are Al Bots? And how high could this go?

None of the developers of Omarchy that I’ve gotten to know seem like the kind of people who would knowingly add backdoors (or other nefarious code) on behalf of any government, let alone China. DHH, and the rest, have never given me a single reason to think they would do something like that. That said, there are reasons to be very careful when working with China. Not least of which is the fact that significant import / export restrictions are in place between the USA and China… and several of those directly apply to Omarchy Linux. As such, simply being aware of such legal issues (which have impacted other Linux related organizations in the past) is a good thing. That’s not an attack on Omarchy in the slightest.

There are no Russian developers actively working on the core of SSH / openSSH. There are, however, Russians who develop substitutes for crypto components (for SSH) to get around import / export restrictions. In 2024, all known Russian programmers were removed as maintainers of Linux Kernel modules, by the Linux Foundation, in response to an executive order from President Biden. There are also import / export restrictions in place with China (around encryption, AI, and other tech). The legal implication is that *several* open source projects (and organizations) are in violation of (often *many*) such laws. Some times this bites those organizations in the back side (I’ve been in one company that struggled with this relating to China for quite some time). Other times it simply gets ignored by all parties (and all governments). An important rule of thumb: If you are a USA based entity (individual, non profit, corporation, etc.), you need to be careful when working with China, Russia (and a few others) on open source projects. Even accepting a single, small code submission can be a legal problem.

Of course several Chinese companies are involved with Linux. Been covering that for… 20 years? And there have been significant concerns about it that entire time. In fact, I can confidently say I’ve covered details of exactly that sort of Linux funding more than any other tech journalist on planet Earth. 😎 What exactly did I say that suggested I should “do a little research on this stuff”, my dude? 🤔
