The #s390x open source software team at IBM confirms the latest versions of various software packages run well on #Linux on #IBMZ & #LinuxONE

In March 2025 validation was maintained for over 30 projects, including #Ansible, #Apache Tomcat, & #Erlang 🎉

Plus, community CI was added for segyio, and Rust's linux_syscall project now publishes s390x releases on crates.io

Full report + how your project can apply for a s390x VM: community.ibm.com/community/us

community.ibm.com · Linux on IBM Z and LinuxONE Open Source Software Report: March 2025

IBM is building up a new #IBM development location in #Waterford #Ireland . The focus of the team will be industrial research related to the low level #Linux kernel and #firmware development for the #ibmz .
This will be a unique opportunity to shape for the Linux #opensource Ecosystem!
Are you interested in developing operating systems and contributing to Open-Source and eager to become part of an worldwide #development community?

It’s estimated that there are 10,000 mainframes in use today. They’re used almost exclusively by the largest companies in the world, including two-thirds of Fortune 500 companies, 45 of the world’s top 50 banks, eight of the top 10 insurers, seven of the top 10 global retailers, and eight of the top 10 telecommunications companies. And most of those mainframes come from IBM.

AI [probably referring to a LLM] is not trained by professionals or a single end user, because it requires such huge amounts of input training data...

You are correct and you are incorrect.

From scratch finding data for pattern matching is tough and requires high performance engines, trade-offs, and money. But we stand on the backs of giants.

There are trained ethical LLMs, certified to be so and deep pockets to back the assertion and the necessary curation. They are not necessarily free. From those seeds AIs can be built to do the things of which I speak.

If IBM can do it (and they do; having gone to the training and hard sell, I know), Apple Intelligence could be built and use Apple engines as infrastructure. Big Blue's giant Z mainframes, which are blades in pretty artwork boxed server racks, are performant due to their custom chips, virtual system management, tuned I/O structure, and multitasking software. Apple chips are performant, custom, and cheaper for the end user. Apple Intelligence is likely Apple's WatsonX App-Killer that'll make the difference, and most certainly runs on Apple hardware increasingly running on renewables.

My point isn't so much building LLMs from scratch, but applications built on a platform and then trained from private user data and via user curation. If I implied otherwise, I wasn't clear. Sorry.

I assume Apple's LLMs are ethical. I also assume that Apple is exposing AI APIs for use by developers.

A big topic of the day at #IBMZDay was skills, so I'm happy to conclude my day by watching a session on "Inspire and Empower the Next Generation of IBM Z"

And it's worth mentioning a bunch of the resources out there in the Employer Resource Hub at ibm.biz/ztalent & the IBM Z Mainframe Skills Depot ibm.com/z/resources/mainframe- #skills #training #mainframe #IBMZ

Yesterday at the Open #Mainframe Project TAC meeting the #Linux Distributions Working Group was renewed for another year! 🥳🐧

We bring open source devs from distributions and individual projects together for s390x porting, learn more and join our mailing list and meetings via our wiki page: wiki.openmainframeproject.org/ #IBMZ #LinuxONE
