Specialized databases like vector, graph, and time-series systems drive innovation—but relying on proprietary managed services often leads to high costs, compliance challenges, and vendor lock-in.
This talk introduces **OpenEverest**, an open source platform built on Kubernetes and CRDs that provides a unified way to manage diverse database engines—from PostgreSQL to modern NoSQL systems. Instead of fragmented tools and cloud-specific services, OpenEverest offers a single control plane for open source databases.
Learn how platform teams can reduce cloud dependency, strengthen data sovereignty, and simplify database operations while embracing the flexibility of the open source data ecosystem. Perfect for DevOps, SRE, and platform engineers managing modern data infrastructure.

Steam Deck price rises point toward high prices for the new Valve hardware, Lenovo puts its name to a cheap retro handheld and regrets it, Wikipedia management seems to be acting like a typical big tech company and the workers are organising, Bambu pisses off its 3D printer customers and Joe got given a free unrelated 3D printer, and we don’t believe that the Raspberry Pi 6 will arrive as late as 2028.

Linux Mint 22.3 "Zena" just quietly shipped two brand-new system apps — System Information and System Administration — and they might be the most useful additions to Mint in years. In this video I break down both new Linux Mint tools, show exactly what they do, and explain why they make desktop Linux far more beginner-friendly — with no terminal required.
System Information is a full troubleshooting cockpit with brand-new USB, GPU, PCI, and BIOS pages, plus one-click system reports you can instantly copy or upload to share when asking for help. System Administration finally brings a clean GUI for the GRUB boot menu — show or hide the menu, change the timeout, set a default OS, and add kernel boot parameters like nomodeset, all without hand-editing config files.
If you run Linux Mint, dual-boot Windows and Linux, wrestle with NVIDIA drivers, or just want an easier way to troubleshoot your PC, these two new Linux Mint 22.3 apps are a big deal.
🔥 What you’ll learn
What’s new in Linux Mint 22.3 "Zena" (LTS supported until 2029)
How the new System Information app replaces digging through the terminal
Diagnosing USB, GPU, PCI, Wi-Fi, audio and BIOS / Secure Boot issues with a GUI
How to manage the GRUB boot menu and kernel boot parameters without config files
Why these tools are perfect for beginners, dual-booters and NVIDIA users
