News Aggregators
- DistroWatch — Linux distro release news and a weekly newsletter. Also has a decent list of Linux/open source focused podcasts.
- Slashdot — As old as the internet, has changed hands too many times to count and is run by idiots. However the community that visits/comments on the articles are top notch.
- SoylentNews — A fork of Slashdot from early 2014 (the infamous "Slashdot Beta" era). Good, but much smaller community.
Written Articles
- ArsTechnica — Decent writers on staff. Covers all things tech. Sometimes may be biased when talking about Linux, that's why it's called ArseTechnica sometimes.
- Phoronix — Free and open-source software news, benchmarks, and more!
- The Register — Important stories reported with a loose feel of attempted hipness. The security section is particularly fun. Verity Stob, a pseudonymous columnist, is amusing.
- TorrentFreak — Focus on torrent and copyright issues. If your tracker is down, these guys will know why.
- Wired — More consumerist than ArsTechnica and falling towards clickbait headlines and political correctness with declining tech content as of 2021. Good security section.
