VIENNA, Austria β April 29, 2025 β Proxmox, a leading provider of open-source Enterprise IT solutions, celebrates its 20th anniversary. Since 2005, Proxmox has been committed to delivering secure, scalable, and user-friendly open-source solutions to enterprises worldwide.
Starting with Proxmox Mail Gateway and later launching Proxmox Virtual Environmentβthe first platform to combine container-based virtualization and the KVM hypervisor on a single interfaceβProxmox has become synonymous with innovation and usability. Built-in technologies like ZFS and Ceph allow businesses to eliminate expensive storage infrastructure such as Fibre Channel or iSCSI SANs, further enhancing Proxmox VE's value. Today, the companyβs flagship product Proxmox VE has become the open-source alternative to proprietary virtualization solutions such as VMware by Broadcom.
Milestones include the introduction of a subscription-based support model in 2013, the launch of the Rust-based Proxmox Backup Server in 2020, the development of a new, Yew-based GUI framework, and the recent Alpha release of Proxmox Datacenter Manager simplifying the management of multiple Proxmox VE clusters.
With more than 200,000 community members and 1.5 million hosts managed globally, Proxmox constantly deepens its partnerships with 1000+ resellers in over 142 countries, and with many hardware and software or backup suppliers like NVIDIA or Veeam. The Proxmox open solutions enable enterprises to avoid vendor lock-in and reduce IT costs significantly; approximately 95% of VMware setups could migrate seamlessly to Proxmox VE.
Proxmox continues to expand its product capabilities and global reach, delivering transparent, future-ready solutions for modern IT environments.
When we started Proxmox 20 years ago, our goal was simple: make powerful open-source server tools accessible to everyone. Today, seeing 1.5 millions of systems powered by Proxmox around the world, itβs clear we are achieving that goal. This success would not have been possible without our dedicated community, our loyal customers, our strong partners, and our passionate team. I sincerely thank everyone who has been part of this journey.Proxmox Founder Martin Maurer
Looking ahead, we will continue on our steady growth path. We are excited to expanding our portfolio with new solutions like Proxmox Datacenter Manager, which will greatly simplify the management of multiple Proxmox VE clusters. We are strengthening our support offerings, and expanding support and integration with various backup and storage tools, and deepening our collaboration with customers and partners. Open-source is the future, and we are proud to help shape itβwith transparency, flexibility, and the power of community.Proxmox Founder Dietmar Maurer

What is a progressive roll out?
Certain new Firefox features are released gradually. This means some users will see the feature before everyone does. This approach helps to get early feedback to catch bugs and improve behavior quickly, meaning more Firefox users overall have a better experience.
Users in the United States can now trigger weather suggestions in the address bar! Simply type a weather-related term or a city name, and view the result directly in the address bar dropdown.

Unresolved
Due to recent changes in Chrome on Windows, some users might find that the Firefox migration wizard no longer successfully imports passwords from Chrome or Chrome-based browsers. As a workaround, you can export your passwords as a CSV file from Chrome and then import them into Firefox using either the migration wizard or the Firefox password manager.
Community Contributions
With the release of Firefox 138, we are pleased to welcome the developers who contributed their first code change to Firefox in this release, 18 of whom were brand new volunteers! Please join us in thanking each of these diligent and enthusiastic individuals, and take a look at their contributions:
Adjusted clipping behavior for floating point audio when using volume boost. Should fix quality issues in some cases.
Added warning prompt to boost that informs users about a better solution for the common issue of "voices are too quiet", which is to enable mixing in the audio decoder (and adjust center mix level).
Improved support of .cue files that contain links to multiple audio files.
Fixes:
Fixed a dragging issue with the exclusive mode seekbar.
Ubuntu 25.04, codenamed βPlucky Puffinβ, is here. This release continues Ubuntuβs proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open-source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. The team has been hard at work through this cycle, partnering with the community and our partners, to introduce new features and fix bugs.
Ubuntu 25.04 introduces GNOME 48 with triple buffering for smoother performance, HDR settings, and new features like a Wellbeing Panel and Preserve Battery Health mode. A new modern PDF reader, Papers, is now the default.
