Exciting News: Python Packaging Council Candidates Announced!
The Python Software Foundation (PSF) has announced the candidates for the Python Packaging Council election. This is a significant development for the Python community, and we're excited to see the impact it will have on the packaging ecosystem. As a community-driven Linux distribution, AcreetionOS is committed to staying up-to-date with the latest developments in the Python world.
Community News
- Our community has been busy with various activities, including re-triggering the GitLab mirror and adding a welcome message for first-time contributors.
- Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux and Debian, which we've incorporated into our distribution to ensure the latest security patches.
- Christopher Domas has published a proof of concept bypassing memory protection with AMD's memory controllers, which is an interesting read for those interested in security research.
Practical Tip:
Did you know that you can customize your AcreetionOS experience by using the aur package manager? You can install and manage AUR packages using the aur command in your terminal. This allows you to access a vast repository of community-maintained packages, including some that may not be available in the official AcreetionOS repositories. To get started, simply run aur search <package_name> to search for packages, and then use aur install <package_name> to install them.
That's all for this week's newsletter. Stay tuned for more updates from the AcreetionOS community!
