Containerised services and orchestrated automation have grown gloriously out of both the Linux Kernel and open source projects to rule the server world. You’ll get to grips with the all-powerful Qemu, get 3D acceleration with GPU-passthrough, discover containers and we take an in-depth look at Flatpak. If you prefer the real world with all its faults then then we’ve a guide to building your own circuit boards, a fascinating interview with security expert Pascal Geenens on the roll of botnets in attacks, we discover the best open source office suites and tackle everything from editing PDFs to building a low-resource web server.
