A screenshot shows a split-screen view with a web browser on the left displaying the System76 Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS Beta Download page and a terminal window on the right showing system information on a freshly installed Pop!_OS system. The browser shows a vibrant banner image featuring white text reading Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS Beta Download over a stylized landscape with magenta and orange gradients, purple crystalline mountains, and a white and turquoise rocket ship centered in the composition. Below appears the heading POP!_OS IS GETTING BETA with descriptive text about the new COSMIC desktop environment and a VIEW FEATURES link, followed by upgrade instructions from Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS.

The right terminal displays hyfetch output with cyan and blue ASCII art showing the Pop!_OS logo alongside detailed system specifications for usrbinkat@mithril, listing Pop!_OS trixie/sid noble on a Precision 7750 host with kernel 6.16.3, 9 hours 40 minutes uptime, COSMIC wayland desktop environment, bash 5.2.21 shell, Intel i7-10875H processor, NVIDIA Quadro T1000 Mobile and Intel UHD Graphics, 15.60 of 125.31 gigabytes memory used, and Dell BIOS version 1.29. Below the system information, htop process monitor shows active processes including cosmic-applet-minion and cosmic-comp, with system resource graphs displaying CPU, memory, and swap usage across multiple cores. A color palette bar appears beneath the hyfetch output showing the terminal's color scheme.

This screenshot documents the successful completion of the dual-boot installation journey begun in the previous image, now showing Pop!_OS Beta with the new COSMIC desktop environment running natively on the Dell Precision 7750 workstation. Showing off the journey from aspiration to reality, with the detailed system information confirming proper hardware detection and the space-themed branding maintaining visual continuity between download and deployment phases of the Linux installation experience.

Pop_OS! is among the best distros in 2025 if we're being serious.

Onderzoek | De verkiezingscampagne draaide om β€˜tv, tv en nog eens tv’. Politici deden zo veel mogelijk mee aan debatten, talk- en spelshows. Wie kregen de meeste schermtijd, welke partij werd het vaakst besproken? En in hoeverre hebben ze daar zelf invloed op?

European Amazon Web Services (AWS) Alternatives European Alternatives to Amazon Web Services (AWS) that are worth considering.

Today, Amazon gave us an impressive demonstration on why it’s not wise to put all digital eggs in one basket.

Grote storing bij AWS in hun US-East locatie. Interessant om te zien welke diensten daar allemaal (gedeeltelijk) afhankelijk van zijn.

Maar wat doen de Belastingdienst en DigID op een Amerikaanse locatie? AWS biedt toch ook Europese regio's aan, of mis ik iets?

Volt is een van de slechts 3 (!) partijen, die binnen de rechtsstatelijke grenzen blijven met hun programma. Schokkend. Wel heel erg blij dat wij de toets doorstaan. Progressieve kiezers: de keus is niet zo moeilijk. Kom naar Volt.

te gast in RADIO BOOS: Laurens Dassen

want is Volt nou links, of rechts? had de oorlog in OekraΓ―ne voorkomen kunnen worden door een Europees leger? en is het USA van Donald Trump onze vriend nog wel?

een boeiend gesprek, nu online!

tijdens BOOS On Tour lanceerden we samen met @rockandvulcan.bsky.social De Controlekamer.

een Signal-groep met 1000 vrijwilligers die zullen helpen de verspreiding van nepnieuws tegen te gaan door het delen van post, corrigerende comments en meer.

we gaan algoritmes voor de waarheid laten werken.
