A Note from LWN

LWN.net, a Linux and open-source news publication, is increasing subscription prices by approximately 20% effective September 15, 2026, citing 20% consumer-price inflation since their last price increase in early 2022. The publication, which has relied on a subscriber-supported model since 2002, notes that subscriber growth has stalled and cost increases—particularly in health insurance—necessitate the adjustment to maintain operations and their expanded coverage team.
