Btw, afaiac I'd love to swap KDE out for Cosmic. But the window rules (or current absence of it) is preventing me from doing it. Like a Kwin for Cosmic, that would be cool. But what the Cosmic team has achieved so far is really impressive. I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes the default DE for Ubuntu.

DRAM Errors and Cosmic Rays: Space Invaders or Science Fiction?
It is widely accepted that cosmic rays are a plausible cause of DRAM errors in high-performance computing (HPC) systems, and various studies suggest that they could explain some aspects of the observed DRAM error behavior. However, this phenomenon is insufficiently studied in production environments. We analyze the correlations between cosmic rays and DRAM errors on two HPC clusters: a production supercomputer with server-class DDR3-1600 and a prototype with LPDDR3-1600 and no hardware error co…

I tried the Fedora Atomic Cosmic Desktop iso and it was very impressive. Cosmic is the most responsive UI I’ve used that isn’t called Workbench. Sadly, Steam had some issues with controllers and while it seemed solvable, it didn’t seem like a clean solution. I’m going to miss Cosmic and will definitely check it out again once it is really done because it is super cool. Now, Bazzite is installing away.

"Astronomers have made a truly mind-boggling discovery using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): a runaway black hole 10 million times larger than the sun, rocketing through space at a staggering 2.2 million miles per hour (1,000 kilometers per second).
That not only makes this the first confirmed runaway supermassive black hole, but this object is also one of the fastest-moving bodies ever detected..."

James Webb Space Telescope confirms 1st 'runaway' supermassive black hole rocketing through 'Cosmic Owl' galaxies at 2.2 million mph: 'It boggles the mind!'
"The forces that are needed to dislodge such a massive black hole from its home are enormous."

I just upgraded to #popos #cosmic beta, and it mostly just worked! It's also the first DE I've used in a long time that felt like a big step forward - when they get the remaining bugs ironed out I think it'll be great!

Beneath the moon's cratered surface lie networks of lava tubes and deep pits, natural caves that could shelter future lunar bases from cosmic radiation and wild temperature swings. These underground structures represent some of the most scientifically valuable areas in the solar system, but they come with the very real challenge of simply getting there.

Geometric Interpretation of the Redshift Evolution of H_0(z)
Seokcheon Lee
https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.07454 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2511.07454 https://arxiv.org/html/2511.07454
arXiv:2511.07454v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Recent analyses of the Master Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) sample have revealed a mild redshift dependence in the inferred local Hubble parameter, often expressed as tilde{H}_0(z) = H_0 (1 z)^{-\alpha}, where \alpha quantifies possible departures from the standard cosmological time dilation relation. In this work, we show that such an empirical scaling can be interpreted as a purely geometric effect arising from a small, gauge-dependent normalization of cosmic time within the Robertson-Walker metric. This interpretation naturally unifies the observed redshift evolution of tilde{H}_0(z) and the corresponding deviation in SN Ia light-curve durations under a single geometric time-normalization framework. We demonstrate that this mapping leaves all background distances--linked to the Hubble radius in the general-relativistic frame--unchanged, while the apparent evolution in SN Ia luminosity distances arises from the redshift dependence of the Chandrasekhar mass. The result provides a unified and observationally consistent explanation of the mild Hubble-tension trend as a manifestation of the geometric structure of cosmic time rather than a modification of the expansion dynamics.

That was a pretty uneventful affair, which is good. The Cosmic liveslak I tried worked well, a much better experience than before. Furthermore very much up to date, the first patch to version 1 already included. Had only to install grub (included, but not activated) and uninstall some standard liveslak packages. But that goes with every Slackware install, so no biggie. Cosmic-greeter behaves a bit quirky also, but that goes for all Cosmic installs. Next week: tweaking.

Just noticed there's a Slackware Cosmic iso available ( previously it was the packages, add the repo etc). Also saw the patch for Mangowc on FreeBSD being committed. Or I'll compile it myself 🤔 Then it can be added to my Slackware Tilers box. Leaving the NUC for that Cosmic thing. Coffee ☕ first.

The 247th meeting of the American Astronomical Society #AAS247 is underway, coming with 8 press conferences - https://aas.org/meetings/aas247/press-kit#briefings - streaming on https://www.youtube.com/@AASPressOffice. There were already two yesterday:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gAjRP1xLtQ about Galaxies Big and Small, covering e.g. https://public.nrao.edu/news/hidden-giants-of-the-early-universe/ / https://news.ucmerced.edu/news/2026/astronomers-reveal-hidden-activity-early-universe’s-most-massive-galaxies / https://keckobservatory.org/aas247-magaz3ne/ and https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/ae1584 (The First RELHIC? Cloud-9 is a Starless Gas Cloud) -> https://science.nasa.gov/missions/hubble/nasas-hubble-examines-cloud-9-first-of-new-type-of-object/ / https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Cloud-9_a_new_celestial_object_found_by_Hubble / https://public.nrao.edu/news/starless-dark-matter-failed-galaxy-near-m94/.
And https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvpDVq-7h6E about Stars and Their Behavior, covering e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.00470 (Betelgeuse: Detection of the Expanding Wake of the Companion Star) -> https://www.cfa.harvard.edu/news/cfa-scientists-detect-wake-betelgeuses-elusive-companion-star / https://science.nasa.gov/missions/hubble/nasa-hubble-helps-detect-wake-of-betelgeuses-elusive-companion-star/ and https://aas.org/sites/default/files/2026-01/Steven and Tyler AAS Press Release.pdf and https://public.nrao.edu/news/alma-devours-cosmic-hamburger-reveals-potential-for-giant-planet-formation/

So, The Core (in no particular order):
1. Slackware with nwg-shell Sway, Niri and Mango
2. Gentoo dwm
3. Aurorix, my KDE container spin.
4. FreeBSD 15 with Mango
5. Slackware Flatbrew, a KDE QT6 experimental iso, with Brew and Flatpaks (thnx @… 😉)
All working superbly.

The hidden gem. Another one.
Did you know Alpine Linux has a vibrant community, delivering the latest desktop environments?
KDE Plasma 6.5.4, of course. But also Gnome 49.2.2? And, since y'day afternoon already, Cosmic 1.0?
That's the one I'm gonna go for.
Unexpected, but really amazing. Don't tell too many people 😂

After some great conversations yesterday I took myself up on my own challenge 🤣
After cosmix-saigon (using the unstable channel of NixOS, bcs of the most updated Cosmic DE) I just revitalized asterix-saigon.
Based on the nixbook project (thnks @… ) and NixOS Stable this gives you that rock solid stability and the latest and greatest KDE Pla…

The serenity that sets in when you have Slackware Tilers (with Mangowc and Sway), Gentoo with KDE and VoidLinux with dwm configured. And all running equally good and reliable
That's the triumvirate for 2026.
Then we have Slackware Cosmic to test drive for at least a month.
And that Thinkpad for all intermediate urges, like AerynOS, Chimera or Bluefin.
Done and dusted.
