Mozilla Firefox 146 is out, adding a final flurry of finesse to finish off what’s been an interesting year for the famed FOSS browser – but is there anything especially good in the update? Arguably, the ‘headline’ change for Linux users is that Firefox now fully supports fractional-scaling under Wayland, by default. No need to tinker with about:config flags, brave beta builds or (more likely) tut under your breath at oversized web elements.

Ventoy LiveCD is a minimalist, single-purpose live CD designed to install the Ventoy application on Windows system. It is based on Porteus Kiosk and uses the Openbox window manager. It can be useful in cases where the standard installation of Ventoy on Windows fails due to Windows-specific restrictions on some low-level operations. Ventoy, an open-source application that facilitates the creation of bootable USB drives from ISO, WIM, IMG, VHD(x) and EFI files, is a useful utility for those who frequently install or test Linux distributions or other open-source operating systems.

Gentoo Linux is a versatile and fast, completely free Linux distribution geared towards developers and network professionals. Unlike other distros, Gentoo Linux has an advanced package management system called Portage. Portage is a true ports system in the tradition of BSD ports, but is Python-based and sports a number of advanced features including dependencies, fine-grained package management, "fake" (OpenBSD-style) installs, safe unmerging, system profiles, virtual packages, config file management, and more. Founded in 2014 by Oliver Pinter and Shawn Webb, HardenedBSD is a security-enhanced fork of FreeBSD. The HardenedBSD Project is implementing many exploit mitigation and security technologies on top of FreeBSD. The project started with Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) as an initial focal point and is now implementing further exploit mitigation techniques. StratOS Linux is an Arch-based Linux distribution which uses scripts from Bedrock Linux to include various packages and repositories from other Linux distributions. It provides several desktop variants featuring the GNOME desktop as well as the Hyprland and the Niri Wayland compositors. The project also develops several custom tools, such as StratVIM (a fork of the Neovim text editor), Rockers (a custom package manager wrapper able to fetch and install binary and source packages from other Linux distributions and from Flatpaks), Stratmacs (a custom Emacs configuration), grab (a fetch script), and Maneki-Neko (a Welcome application).
