  • Wayland Protocol 1.38 released

  • What’s wrong with rendering?

    Oh I dunno, maybe something with almost 700 comments? (HDR).

    However session saving is very important for any work, especially office tasks. It’s becoming critical now when all major DEs make Wayland the default.

    If apps don't want to save their state when they close there isn't much a window manager can do about that. The only part the window manager would be involved in is with positioning its window and that is hardly something very critical to the functionality of an app.

  • Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team

  • IIRC Mono was mostly used for WASM as it was optimized for smaller builds than the full fat CoreCLR (talking about .NET non-Framework Mono)

  • It really wouldn't change anything in the long run. Any company that creates a browser is gonna need some form of income and people aren't willing to pay for a browser. What would be their incentive to continue to work on the browser when they aren't being paid?

    Secure Boot is completely broken on 200+ models from 5 big device makers

    Jump

  • The kernel modules usually are signed with a different key. That key is created at build time and its private key is discarded after the build (and after the modules have been signed) and the kernel uses the public key to validate the modules IIRC. That is how Archlinux enables can somewhat support Secure Boot without the user needing to sign every kernel module or firmware file (it is also the reason why all the kernel packages aren't reproducible).

  • And technically you can whitelist other certificates, too, but I have no idea how you might do that.

    When you enter the UEFI somewhere there will be a Secure Boot section, there there is usually a way to either disable Secure Boot or to change it into "Setup Mode". This "Setup Mode" allows enrolling new keys, I don't know of any programs on Windows that can do it, but sbctl can do it and the systemd-boot bootloader both can enroll your own custom keys.

  • To what extent, if at all, would have CrowdStrike's faulty update have been easier to deal with with an immutable distro?

  • I don't think any of the major distros do it currently (some are working twards it tho), but there are ways (primarily/only one I know is with systemd-boot). It invokes one of the boot binaries (usually "Unified Kernel Images") that are marked as "good" or one that still has "tries left" (whichever is newer). A binary that has "tries left" gets that count decremented when the boot is unsuccessful and when it reaches 0 it is marked as "bad" and if it boot successfully it gets marked as "good".

    So this system is basically just requires restarting the system on an unsuccessful boot if it isn't done already automatically.

  • GNOME June 2024: C'mon you can do better

  • Accent colors are coming with GNOME 47.

  • Systemd 256.1 Addresses Complaint That 'systemd-tmpfiles' Could Unexpectedly Delete Your /home Directory

    Jump

  • I dunno, I don't have a camera feed into your life. But considering that is the first thing you respond to a clarification it most certainly wouldn't surprise me if you did.

  • Systemd 256.1 Addresses Complaint That 'systemd-tmpfiles' Could Unexpectedly Delete Your /home Directory

    Jump

  • I dont think home directory files should handled by something named tmpfiles.

    The only reason its still called tmpfiles is because of backwards compatibility

  • Systemd 256.1 Maintenance Release Fixes Home Directory Deletion Bug

    Jump

  • There were talks a few years ago about changing sd-tmpfiles name but it was decide not worth it due to the churn and bikeshedding it would cause.

    sd-tmpfiles is generally used to create, modify (e.g. permissions) and remove directories on the system. The home.conf is intended for systems that only ship /usr/ (e.g. containers) to create /home/ and /srv/ as a separate subvolume on btrfs

  • The BSOD really isn't something to be mad at, it actually in theory is good but there is only so much you can do when a kernel panics. What you should be mad at is shitty drivers causing BSODs

  • which definitely seems out of scope.

    Doesn't seem out of scope for a system and service management suite. Like, the timeperiod where systemd was "just an init" was relativly brief (like half a year).

  • This week in KDE: all about those apps

    Jump

  • They should test this much more often and frequently. Unlike Gnome, KDE do actually care about their users, not just about themselves.

    It's not like GNOME is the only outlier here (for the specific icon problem sure), someone on the linux subreddid also posted this screenshot https://imgur.com/a/1ELtsJb. It seems to really just be that KDE apps kinda struggle out side of KDE. And most of the GNOME devs do care about the users as well, just they also care that their apps look as intended.

  • Issue for GTK to make their window decorarions clickable at the corner

    Jump

  • It's been a thing I personally have been wondering why this is how it is for a while. Personally I like most of the GNOME stuff, but this decision has always stood out as odd.

    But then again I almost always use ctrl+w or alt-f4 to close apps, so I am mostly unaffected.

  • Fun fact: open source has a definition: https://opensource.org/osd

    I don't know much about Grayjay, but how you are describing it, it at best is "source open"
