What Topics Are Covered in Linux.org Articles?

Linux.org's article and tutorial section covers hands-on hardware projects, multi-part programming series, virtualization and server setup, and site/community news. The coverage is practical and project-oriented: recent posts walk through single-board computers like the PocketBeagle 2 and Arduino Uno Q, Python GUI programming, and running Proxmox VE or its ARM fork Pimox. If you are looking for step-by-step build guides rather than news commentary, this is the main content type you will find.

Hardware and single-board computer projects

The site publishes build-and-learn articles around small boards and accessories, often in multiple parts.

• PocketBeagle 2 TechLab – Part 1 (Sep 12, 2026, by Jarret B): introduces the TechLab, described as a Cape used to learn programming for the PocketBeagle 1 and 2, with built-in components that make it an inexpensive way to start programming.
• PocketBeagle 2: Setup, Imaging, and Internet Access (Aug 22, 2026, by Jarret B): covers getting the newer PocketBeagle board running, including imaging and network access.
• Arduino Uno Q – LED Matrix – Rain (Sep 08, 2026, by Jarret B): experiments with the Arduino Uno Q's LED Matrix, described as an 8-by-13 grid of blue LEDs.
• Orange Pi 6 Plus and Pimox 8.4.10 (Aug 21, 2026, by Jarret B): looks at the Orange Pi 6 Plus and installing Pimox on it.

If your interest is microcontroller or SBC tinkering, these articles are the closest match.

Programming series

Linux.org runs numbered, sequential programming tutorials. The clearest example in the current listing is the Python series.

• Python Series Part 25: Canvas Widget – Part 2 (Sep 04, 2026, by Jarret B): continues from the previous installment on the Canvas Widget and moves into the methods available for manipulating objects on the Canvas.

The numbering ("Part 25", "Part 2") signals that these are meant to be read in order, so start earlier in the series if you are new to the topic.

Virtualization and servers

Server and virtualization content appears both for standard x86 setups and ARM hardware.

• Proxmox VE Series Part 5: Windows Virtual Machine (Aug 22, 2026, by Jarret B): notes that companies may need a non-Linux OS such as Windows, and that the setup is not as straightforward as installing Linux because special drivers are involved.
• Orange Pi 6 Plus and Pimox 8.4.10: Pimox is described as a fork of Proxmox that runs on an ARM processor.

This makes the section useful if you are planning a homelab, a Windows VM under Proxmox, or Proxmox-style virtualization on ARM.

News and community updates

Alongside tutorials, the site posts community and site news.

• IRC is back on linux.org (Aug 20, 2026, by Rob): announces an IRC server at irc.linux.org, port 6697, TLS, with #linux as the main channel.

How to use this map

One practical note from the site itself: the homepage states that credits are disabled while a compatibility issue is being revisited after a forum software upgrade, and it warns that JavaScript is required for the best experience. So some interactive features may behave differently than expected right now.
