Amutable opened signups for an immutable, image-based system built by the engineers behind systemd using hardware attestations. Gregory Kurtzer's Ginux is a new Rust kernel, generated by an AI agent in 139,000 lines over 11 days, that runs Linux binaries without being Linux. FreeBSD founder Jordan Hubbard built the Daemonarchy installer in under two hours with GPT Astra 6. Tesco is ditching VMware for Proxmox in its stores after Broadcom stopped supporting perpetual licenses and demanded 175% higher prices. The issue also lists dangerous Linux commands, discontinued distros, deprecated commands, and a Halloween terminal theme for Kitty. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is Ginux and how was it built? Ginux is a new Rust-based kernel created by Gregory Kurtzer that runs unmodified Linux binaries despite not being Linux underneath. An AI agent generated 139,000 lines of code across 11 days, showing that a Linux-compatible kernel can be built from scratch without forking the original Linux kernel. _Developers tracking AI-generated systems code follow projects like this on daily.dev._ ### Why is Tesco switching from VMware to Proxmox? Tesco is moving its stores from VMware to Proxmox after Broadcom stopped supporting perpetual licenses and demanded a 175% price increase. A job posting suggests the migration off VMware will happen gradually and finish by the end of 2027. _Teams weighing a VMware exit track real-world Proxmox migrations like this on daily.dev._ ### What is Daemonarchy and how was it made? Daemonarchy is a FreeBSD installer built by FreeBSD founder Jordan Hubbard in under two hours using GPT Astra 6. He created it in response to requests for a FreeBSD installer as polished as Omarchy's. _Developers curious about AI-assisted tooling for BSD and Linux follow projects like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [FOSS Weekly \#26.43: Kernel 7.3, Non-Linux OS, de-Googled Phone, DuxOS, Podcasts, De-bloating TVs, KDE Dock and More](https://daily.dev/posts/foss-weekly-26-43-kernel-7-3-non-linux-os-de-googled-phone-duxos-podcasts-de-bloating-tvs-kd-rauccbhhv) · It's Foss · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [FOSS Weekly \#26.16: Kernel 7.0, Essential Terminal Tips, France Linux Move, New Age Verification Bill and More](https://daily.dev/posts/foss-weekly-26-16-kernel-7-0-essential-terminal-tips-france-linux-move-new-age-verification-bil-mfduuvp1x) · It's Foss · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#infrastructure](https://daily.dev/tags/infrastructure), [#kernel-development](https://daily.dev/tags/kernel-development) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/foss-weekly-26-44-ginux-dead-distros-resurrected-projects-dangerous-commands-and-more-scary-l-adrek0lfz) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"FOSS Weekly #26.44: Ginux, Dead Distros, Resurrected Projects, Dangerous Commands and More (Scary) Linux Stuff","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/foss-weekly-26-44-ginux-dead-distros-resurrected-projects-dangerous-commands-and-more-scary-l-adrek0lfz","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/foss-weekly-26-44-ginux-dead-distros-resurrected-projects-dangerous-commands-and-more-scary-l-adrek0lfz"},"datePublished":"2026-10-29T14:52:30.147Z","dateModified":"2026-10-29T14:53:17.712Z","description":"This FOSS Weekly roundup covers a batch of Linux news and Halloween-themed extras.
