A structured approach that covers technical steps and strategic planning can streamline the migration of a file server to Windows Server 2025. This article explores two main migration strategies—keeping or changing the file server’s hostname—and demonstrates how to transfer shared folders and data using a custom PowerShell script. By following these methods, you can ensure a smooth transition to the latest server OS while minimizing user disruption and preserving file access settings.

openSUSE прекращает поставку Deepin из-за установки небезопасных компонентов в обход RPM


Разработчики проекта openSUSE объявили об удалении из репозитория пакетов с рабочим столом Deepin из-за нарушения правил проекта в отношении проверки безопасности размещаемых пакетов. Было выявлено, что сопровождающий Deepin попытался обойти принятые в openSUSE правила рецензирования пакетов и не уведомив команду, отвечающую за безопасность, разместил в репозитории пакет "deepin-feature-enable". Пакет был размещён в апреле 2021 года и включал функциональность, нацеленную на установку дополнительных компонентов, не прошедших проверку и содержащих неустранённые проблемы с безопасностью.

‍Linux Mint leader Clement Lefebvre revealed today the codename of the next release of the popular, Ubuntu-based Linux Mint distribution, Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara”, along with the codename for LMDE 7.


Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara” will be based on Canonical’s long-term supported Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) operating system series, just like the Linux Mint 22 series. The Linux Mint project leader also unveiled the codename of the upcoming LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) 7 distribution as "Gigi".


While Linux Mint 22.2 will pretty much look and feel exactly like Linux Mint 22.1 "Xia", the team plans to improve the default Mint-Y theme by adding a little bit of blue to "make grey slightly more metallic looking and appear more modern", according to Clement Lefebvre.


[su_quote]"Pure grey is neutral, it can be perceived as cold or warm based on its surroundings. By bumping the blue we force it to look cold," said Clement Lefebvre. "Another reason this makes the UI look more modern is because this is done a lot nowadays, but it wasn’t done so much 10 years ago. Like with all new trends, sticking to past standards can make things feel outdated."[/su_quote]


Also for Linux Mint 22.2, the devs plan to add support for accent colors to the XDG Desktop Portal XApp to change the accent color in Flatpak libAdwaita applications based on your current GTK theme. This is supposed to work not only in the flagship Cinnamon edition, but also on the MATE and Xfce editions.


Linux Mint 22.2 "Zara" will probably be released in June or July 2025. It will probably still be powered by Linux kernel 6.8, just like its predecessors, Linux Mint 22.1 and Linux Mint 22. However, since Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS comes with Linux kernel 6.11 from Ubuntu 24.10, users will be able to install the newer kernel if they want to.


Developing story...
