I wasn’t trying to give a positive side, I was just explaining why Microsoft wants the feature

If the executable binary has to be signed with a key, similar to the module signing key, Microsoft could sign their binaries

This, along with secureboot, would prevent the owner of the machine from running eBPF programs Microsoft doesn’t want you to run, even with root

The Ubuntu security team only supports the ~2,000 packages in “main”

Things like ffmpeg are in “universe” and only get security updates if you subscribe to Ubuntu Pro

ubuntu.com/security/esm

Debian’s security team has always been significantly more responsive than Ubuntu. It’s regularly had CVE fixes in older versions of Debian that newer versions of Ubuntu don’t bother to pull into universe

FWIW, if you decode to go with KDE and manage to delete your panel, it’s

• right click on the desktop
• enter edit mode
• add panel
• default panel

My job is literally to make Linux distros using Yocto for various boards. I’m constantly writing new build scripts or updating build scripts, debugging the kernel/systemd/glibc and whatever libraries are on the system.

All of my work and personal desktops run some version of Fedora Atomic or a uBlue variant right now.

With distrobox/toybox/brew and using podman/docker/KVM+qemu, even as a tinkerer, it’s great

I constantly see people talking about playing things like Balatro on their deck that certainly doesn’t need more than 30fps.

Seems super useful for games like that on a flight

They require you to enter the user’s password, so it still functions as a lock

I mean, it’s better than back when the screen locker program crashed, your computer was just unlocked

SSDs make hibernate even more powerful

That’s why things like suspend-then-hibernate are popular now

If you’re seriously wanting to compile optimized software for those devices, you would want to investigate “cross compiling”

I see some apps there that are also in F-Droid

Is there a big benefit to Obtanium for apps that are also released there? My understanding is that Obtanium doesn’t do any key verification of APKs, so I’ve only used it as a last resort

I was reasonably certain, but left it open in case OP knew of some edge case where flags that are intended to be machine independent caused bugs on different architectures

-O2 vs -O3 adds -fgcse-after-reload -fipa-cp-clone -floop-interchange -floop-unroll-and-jam -fpeel-loops -fpredictive-commoning -fsplit-loops -fsplit-paths -ftree-loop-distribution -ftree-partial-pre -funswitch-loops -fvect-cost-model=dynamic -fversion-loops-for-strides

I don’t think any of these optimizations require more modern hardware?

For historical info - Oracle bought OpenOffice and started to close it down, so all the developers that worked on it forked it into LibreOffice

Oracle has since given OpenOffice to an open source group, Apache, but the main development still happens on LibreOffice

All of the security features mentioned in the article even started from work done by GrapheneOS - they’re simply upstreamed now

If your speedometer/tachometer is a screen instead of dials, it’s extremely likely it’s running Linux, too

So still somewhat useful in the auto space

without any distro or configuration caveats.

In those cases, they generally have the Ubuntu version that’s supported in the specs section

I’d used Linux a bit out of curiosity in the Windows XP era

Windows Vista came out and was completely unusable on the computers I or anyone around me owned. It was also harder to configure than Linux and the new UI looked worse than the Linux UIs at the time

So I switched and haven’t been back to Windows since

For whatever reason org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Breeze-Dark was deprecated

The workaround listed here: https://github.com/flathub/org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Breeze

Is to run: flatpak override --user --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-3.0:ro

However, that exposes a little extra if you have favorite places stored

I think it works if you only expose xdg-config/gtk-3.0/colors.css, xdg-config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css, and xdg-config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
