Distro developers began discussing ways to reduce the size of firmware updates last year. Now, in Ubuntu 26.04, it’s introducing meta-packaging to spread Linux firmware across 17 smaller packages in the resolute archives. This resolves a bug filed in 2022.

The sub-packages are:

  • linux-firmware-mellanox-spectrum
  • linux-firmware-intel-wireless
  • linux-firmware-intel-graphics
  • linux-firmware-amd-graphics
  • linux-firmware-nvidia-graphics
  • linux-firmware-intel-misc
  • linux-firmware-broadcom-wireless
  • linux-firmware-netronome
  • linux-firmware-misc
  • linux-firmware-qlogic
  • linux-firmware-marvell-wireless
  • linux-firmware-mediatek
  • linux-firmware-marvell-prestera
  • linux-firmware-realtek
  • linux-firmware-qualcomm-wireless
  • linux-firmware-qualcomm-graphics
  • linux-firmware-qualcomm-misc

This Valentine's Day there is a lot of red on the screen for the X.Org Server with the code delta as a result of renaming of their main Git development branch and in the process selectively dropping questionable patches to the prior "master" codebase.

The effort noted in January of X.Org Server May Create A New Selective Git Branch With Hopes Of A New Release This Year has now been realized. As of a short time ago today, the "master" Git branch is ended with new X.Org Server development now on "main" and in the process starting off from a starting point of 2024 and then laying on the acceptable patches that were queued up over the past two years. See that aforelinked article for more details.

HOTFIX:

  • reverted/disabled winewayland systray icon patch introduced in 10-30 (it caused a lot of breakage in multiple games, as well as breaking in gamescope session on steam deck. no bueno.)
  • fixed video playback regression introduced in 10-29 (fixes video playback in Nioh 3 and a few other games)
  • fixed Warhammer 40k Darktide crashing on opening (issue introduced in 10-29)

Fixes:

  • fixed Arknights Endfield anti-cheat triggering if wayland wasn't enabled
  • fixed Duet Night Abyss launch crash & login window not showing on new install
  • fixed Akiba's trip cutscenes + audio + voice audio (game fully works now)
  • fixed Warhammer 40k Vermintide 2 EAC failing file validation when running the game from the launcher (holy butts 6+ year old bug)
  • added protonfix for Warhammer 40k Darktide to skip the launcher -- this prevents a bug where sometimes the game would launch as an audio-only background process when run from the launcher.

KaOS Linux 2026.02 was released today as the February 2026 ISO snapshot for this independent GNU/Linux distribution, which uses Arch Linux’s pacman package manager, and the first release to ship with the Niri Wayland compositor.

After using the KDE/Plasma desktop environment by default for more than 12 years since its initial release under the name of KdeOS, the KaOS Linux distribution will no longer ship with its unique Plasma desktop setup, as the devs do not want to use the systemd init system anymore in the distro.

Instead, they put a Niri/Noctalia setup into the KaOS Linux 2026.02 release, while retaining the distribution’s unique look and still offering users access to popular KDE applications that were shipped with the Plasma desktop. However, this release still ships with systemd as the default init system.

“We are sailing to Cuba, bringing critical humanitarian aid for its people,” the flotilla organizers said on their website. “The Trump administration is strangling the island, cutting off fuel, flights, and critical supplies for survival. The consequences are lethal, for newborns and parents, for the elderly and the sick.”

“That is why we are launching the Nuestra América Flotilla, setting sail from across the Caribbean Sea in solidarity with the Cuban people,” the organizers continued. “And we are asking for your support, to help us prepare the mission and purchase the food and medicine that we will bring to the Cuban people.”

so I don't have to connect to it.

I actually thought of this before and besides making sure to maintain crossposting, I think for just image URLs it's kind of draining of resources (however small but built up over time...) without any "reward" (engagement) with the actual post on their instance

[-] cm0002@mander.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

Because it's part of my .ml cross-posting, I could but doing so would break the crosspost, which some people don't like already when it happens accidentally

I can edit it if you want me to and break crossposts here going forward

Howtogeek has real articles? I thought it was an SEO scheme.

Surprisingly, they do, they have some low quality misses sometimes but overall I think they have some fine articles lol. Def not in-line with their name though lmfao

That's good you have admitted your wrongs, unfortunately, you are still required to repent upon the altar of nix

I told you already, it was fucking Q playing his dumb pranks!

Lol generally I'll refer to the OS builtin tooling (XProtect/MS Defender) and EDRs as "Antivirus" otherwise the non-techies will freak OmG wE hAVe NO aV! And then the "anti"-viruses like mcafee and Kaspersky mysteriously spawns

And also on-demand AV software can be good for spot checks or if you're sus of something.

It's the "Real-time" shit that hooks into the kernel that needs to be avoided like the plague
