  • This even works with some apps that hide the standard part - like Symantec VIP - it’s possible to extract what they are doing and use a standard TOTP app instead of VIP.

  • Systemd wants to expand to include a sudo replacement

  • I read the original mastodon post by the developer of run0 and I am still don’t understand what the problem with SUID is.

    Whats an example of an attack that would work with sudo and doas (which also uses SUID) and not on run0?

  • Playboy image from 1972 gets ban from IEEE computer journals

    Jump

  • Keep in mind that Playboy had a reputation as more than just porn. A lot of really respected authors had work published in Playboy.

    I not sure of its culture status when the event in question happened, but it would have been different then say, Penthouse.

  • Fedi Garden to Instance Admins: “Block Threads to Remain Listed”

    Jump

  • Are any major Lemmy or Mastodon instances in Fedi Garden?

    I was looking through the site and didn't see any instances I recognized but they also nest everything so it takes like 3 clicks to see 2 severs.

    Edit: By type looks like the easier way to see the entire list, which is not huge and I don't recognize any of the servers but I will admit I am not a big Mastodon person.

  • Flathub now marks unverified apps

    Jump

  • This is a good step but I still feel like it's pretty obscure where a package is actually coming from. "by Google" or for the Steam package "by Valve" is really confusing and makes it sounds like it's coming directly from the company. Unverified tells the user to pay attention but there is no hover over to say what it actually means.

  • What's your favorite terminal?

    Jump

  • I used to use Fluxbox back in the day, what’s the modern equivalent?

  • Help using Mangohud / Gamemode with Flatpak version of Lutris and Steam

    Jump

  • Here is my understanding of this now I've got everything working on my Flatpak install of Steam:

    MangoHud

    • Mangohud is installed as another Flatpak, org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud. There are multiple versions and you need the one that matches the Steam runtime that you can see by running flatpak list --app --columns=application,runtime | grep -i "steam"
    • To tell a game to use MangoHud you add MANGOHUD=1 %command% to the Steam launch options of the game
    • Alternatively you can use like Flatseal to add the environment variable MANGOHUD=1 to the Steam FlatPak to get this working in every game by default

    Gamemode

    • You need to install the Gamemode daemon, gamemoded as a system package
    • Once that is installed you can add gamemoderun %command% to the launch options to run the game with Gamemode enabled

    Edit: You actually DO need to install Mangohud and you need to match the Steam runtime version.

  • Plasma 6 may arrive next week in openSUSE

    Jump

  • Yeah going to mine as well. I am both excited and a little scared. Some folks have reports some serious issues when upgrading so let's hope the Tumbleweed folks sit on this until they feel it's ready for general availability.

  • KDE 6 FOR ARCH LINUX IS HEREEEEEEE

    Jump

  • You know, I am fine with it. One of the reasons I am using Tumbleweed is for the additional testing they do, so if they aren’t cool with shipping it yet I can wait.

  • State of global menu support under KDE Plasma?

    Jump

  • Nice! I imagine it doesn’t work with Firefox sync though?

  • GNOME 46 is Coming in Hot With These 6 Features

    Jump

  • I saw, very exciting!

  • GNOME 46 is Coming in Hot With These 6 Features

    Jump

  • Man I really want to see that VRR patch merged in, even if it still takes a flag to turn on.

    With KDE having VRR and now HDR it feels like the choice you have to make if you are gaming on Linux. I prefer Gnome generally so I would like to see them catch up.

  • My experience using Fedora Atomic (Budgie) for a month or two.

    Jump

  • Everyone seems shocked when Arch breaks but it’s been my experience with Arch as well. Literally on an old laptop I was basically using for web browsing I had Arch break several times randomly after updates. That was enough for me to give up on it.

    Accusing the poster of astroturfing is extremely toxic and warrants revision on your part.

  • Snap store from Canonical (Ubuntu) hit with another crypto scam app

    Jump

  • I liked Unity - they were doing so much customization to Gnome that it made sense for them to have their own DE.

  • Former distrohoppers, where did you settle down?

    Jump

  • Why would you ever think it was a meme distro? Red Hat has been around forever.

  • Former distrohoppers, where did you settle down?

    Jump

  • Using this right now. It’s been a little less stable then I’ve heard other people claim, I had about a day and half where I was consistently freezing up 5 minutes after login. After that was patched it has been fine.

    The real test for me is if I can walk away from it for 3 weeks and update the system without the world exploding. That was what always broke Arch for me.

  • Former distrohoppers, where did you settle down?

    Jump

  • I haven’t used it personally but I’ve seen a lot of folks bad mouthing Manjaro.

    Lots of complaints of instability and it being poorly run project. One of the more objective complaints I’ve read is they have a slower release process so security fixes take longer then Arch.

  • Switched from Ubuntu to Debian yesterday

    Jump

  • Devils advocate here, but what makes Ubuntu a great gateway distro nowadays?

    When Ubuntu came out it had a graphical installer and UI improvements allowed users to do more without the terminal. I feel like at some point other distros caught up and Unity was the unique selling point. Then canonical became more focused on the server and killed Unity. I am not sure what is the selling point of Ubuntu as a desktop in 2024.

    This all comes from my personal experience of Ubuntu being my main distro for 10+ years. But when I started distro hoping I realized there wasn’t much difference between Ubuntu and other distros nowadays.

  • George Carlin Estate Files Lawsuit Against Group Behind AI-Generated Stand-Up Special: ‘A Casual Theft of a Great American Artist’s Work’

    Jump

  • They also weren’t selling it as far as I know. They put the whole thing on YouTube and prefaced with this is an AI trying to recreate a Carlin stand up set.

  • Good Nix OS series: five articles for new users.

    Jump

  • After trying out Nix as a package manager I realized I have a pretty different world view than the makers of Nix. I agree with the end goal but how they are trying achieve it is just alien to me. The nix command line is just downright user hostile.

    I am personally hoping that someone else takes a stab at the Nix concept but have accepted Nix isn’t for me.
