Linux Mint shows off its new lock screen/screensaver

Linux Mint is working on a redesigned screensaver and lock screen for the Cinnamon desktop. Based on our first look, it’s a solid improvement. If the word “screensaver” conjures flying star fields or photo slideshows, that’s fair, but in Cinnamon it also acts as the ‘screen locker’. In 2026, ‘saving’ the screen is less of a concern than ‘locking’ it, but many users enjoy seeing a pretty ‘idle’ display. Cinnamon’s new lock screen will, based on designs shared by Linux Mint, convey more information without you needing to unlock.

How to install Windows Admin Center vMode on Windows Server 2025

Windows Admin Center (WAC) vMode (Virtualization Mode) is a current in-preview management gateway for Hyper-V environments, deployable as a stateful appliance with an integrated PostgreSQL database. Unlike aMode (Administration Mode), vMode targets centralized virtualization management across multiple hosts and clusters, without requiring System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM). The only mandatory prerequisite is the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. This article covers the system requirements, environment preparation, and installer walkthrough for vMode, and briefly explains how aMode installation differs.

📰 Don't toss your old laptop, it makes a better home server than most single-board computers

Everyone loves a Raspberry Pi — if you don't have one, you love the idea of having one, especially if you have plans on turning it into a small-size addition to your home network. SBCs are surprisingly good at that, except when you need more ports, or you have more than one device to attach to your home network. That's where another device, one you might already have collecting dust in your home, might prove to be way handier, and that is your...
