Linux System Administrator Salaries in the U.S. (2025)

Linux system administrators have seen remarkable salary growth leading into 2025, with the increasing reliance on Linux in enterprise IT and emerging technologies driving up demand significantly. The current average salary of $80,000 annually represents not just a number, but a reflection of how critical Linux expertise has become in today’s technology landscape. This growth trajectory has been consistent and purposeful, supported by the fundamental role Linux plays in cloud computing, containerization, and modern DevOps practices.

[$] Nyxt: the Emacs-like web browser

Nyxt is an unusual web
browser that tries to answer the question, “what if Emacs was a
good web browser?”. Nyxt is not an Emacs package, but a full
web browser written in Common Lisp and available under the BSD
three-clause license. Its target audience is developers who want a
browser that is keyboard-driven and extensible; Nyxt is also developed
for Linux first, rather than Linux being an afterthought or just a
sliver of its audience. The philosophy (as described in its FAQ)
behind the project is that users should be able to customize all of
the browser’s functionality.

[$] Slowing the flow of core-dump-related CVEs

The 6.16 kernel will include a number of changes to how the kernel handles

it with all the CVEs because we provide a **** API for userspace
“. The
handling of core dumps has indeed been a constant source of
vulnerabilities; with luck, the 6.16 work will result in rather fewer of
them in the future.

The Performance Gains Brought By Linux 6.15+ & Mesa 25.2 For AMD Strix Halo

AMD’s Kernel Compute Driver “AMDKFD” Can Now Be Enabled On RISC-V

Following all of the Linux kernel graphics driver features merged last week for the Linux 6.16 kernel, sent out this morning were the initial batch of fixes to the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) code. Besides fixes to these graphics / display / accelerator drivers, there is one new feature: the AMDKFD kernel compute driver can now be enabled on RISC-V systems…
