In this jargon buster, we explain what is Liquorix kernel, why it is popular among Linux gamers and if there are any real benefits of using it on your regular Linux desktop.

Hello community, here we have another set of package updates. Manjaro 26.0, code-named ‘Anh-Linh’ is now super close for release. We already made 3 release candidates. Our focus is on Plasma 6.5 and GNOME 49. Both will use Wayland by default, which may change things for older systems out there. Some who still need X11 support may consider our XFCE build.

As a software vendor, getting your product in front of the right audience is crucial. One of the best ways to reach business buyers is by leveraging B2B software comparison and review platforms. These websites attract millions of in-market software buyers who rely on peer reviews and ratings to make purchasing decisions. In fact, 88% of buyers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations [1]. By listing your software on these platforms, you can gather authentic user feedback, build credibility, and dramatically improve your visibility to potential customers. Below we rank the top six B2B software comparison websites – and highlight what makes each one valuable for vendors looking to boost exposure and win more business. Now updated for 2026.

1. SourceForge

SourceForge tops our list as a powerhouse platform for software vendors. Why SourceForge? For starters, it boasts enormous traffic – over 20 million monthly visitors actively searching for software solutions [2]. In fact, SourceForge drives more traffic than any other B2B software directory (often more than all other major sites combined!) [2]. Semrush even estimates SourceForge's November 2025 traffic at 27.51 million visitors[3]. This means listing your product here can put you in front of a vast pool of potential business buyers. SourceForge offers a complete business software and services comparison platform where buyers can find, compare, and review software. As the site itself says: “Selling software? You’re in the right place. We’ll help you reach millions of intent-driven software and IT buyers and influencers every day.” For a vendor, this translates into incredible visibility and lead generation opportunities.

Hello community, here we have another set of package updates. Manjaro 26.0, code-named ‘Anh-Linh’ is now super close for release. We already made 3 release candidates. Our focus is on Plasma 6.5 and GNOME 49. Both will use Wayland by default, which may change things for older systems out there. Some who still need X11 support may consider our XFCE build.

The first FOSS Weekly of the year 2026.

You don't always need to install an open source software on your desktop or self host in your homelab. I use some of my favorites from the comfort of a web browser.

I roundup a crop of December's smaller Linux app releases, including the Clapper media player, QEMU virtualisation tool, Scribus DTP and ONLYOFFICE.

New Year, new you, new Linux commands?

Happy New Year's Eve, Linux enthusiasts! 🎉

These open source gems have helped me refine my workflow.

New crash recovery wrapper and welcome screen arrive, though windowrules require manual migration.

Open source video editor Shotcut 25.12 adds 10-bit CPU pipeline support, linear color processing, and better hardware encoding on Linux.

Using an industry-oriented device can surely test the limits of a DIY enthusiast.

The v3 patch series brings improved performance and new features while dropping the "Plus" moniker.

Hello community, here we have another set of package updates. Welcome to our new development cycle of Manjaro 25.1.0, code-named ‘Anh-Linh’.We will focus on Plasma 6.5 series and will introduce GNOME 49, maybe Cosmic 1.0. Since only two day’s of 2025 are left, we may bump the version of ‘Anh-Linh’ also to 26.0 …
