The Linux Thread - The Autist's OS of Choice

I think it only made it into Arch and Debian sid
With it getting into Arch, the intended backdoor wouldn't have really worked anyway because of differences in structure and how openssh actually links up to other shit. Taken from the news page (archive):
Arch does not directly link openssh to liblzma, and thus this attack vector is not possible. You can confirm this by issuing the following command:
Bash:
ldd "$(command -v sshd)"
 
Notice how 100% of the pushback is coming from other gender freaks? Every time, without fail. TT fucking D
Perhaps they feel "attacked" and by that I mean that they are shitting themselves because someone rightfully criticized the behaviour of a tranny. If the bully was a straight cisgender white man, no one would have cared because of fucking course it's like that.
 
Nothing has made me seriously consider dropping open source, not the troon infections, not the severe autism, not the infestation of redhat bullshit into every corner of userspace, until the last few pages of this thread. God has abandoned us.

Ain't that the truth.

Drop tech altogether, live in a shack in a forest and farm potatoes. Genuinely the best option at this point.

Isn't there already a thread for shock imagery somewhere, other than the furry freakshow one?

Imagine if he got banned over wanting to do a shitty gayop on trannies. What a way to go.

Yeah, but it raises the question why Arch would just let it in since it was throwing valgrind errors. That's why it didn't get into Fedora.

Not sure Canonical ever commented on it but it wouldn't have been considered so late into the 24.04 release cycle unless it was a critical bugfix. Weird timing overall.
 
I said it before somewhere but I have the feeling this wasn't some random "exploit now and see what we can hit later" attack but they probably had a very specific target in mind. They might've even got lucky for all we know. It might also have been a test how viable this strategy is in general. The investment is very low (especially if we are talking state actors) and the potential payout is high.

Doubt it. The backdoor slipped into the binary if you were building a deb or rpm package. The goal was to get it into every repo. If you were targeting somebody specific you'd narrow the activation requirements more so you'd have less eyes on it.
 
Ubuntu 24.04 beta and it's shitload of *buntu clones has been released. The installer has more hoops to jump through even just to test drive it. Lubuntu 24.04 is looking good though but it's only been a day. Trying to see if I can crash them.

Just my initial opinion, no need to update from 22.04 to 24.04 unless you got new computers that need a newer kernel

I've been trying to install Linux Mint on a laptop with an i5-6300u but media playback is choppy when plugged into a 4k screen using a mini display port to HDMI cable. Is there anything I can do about that or is the computer a potato?
 
Does it have a dedicated video card? Is so, could be your video driver, especially if it is propitiatory like Nvidia which are 3rd party and closed source and often not installed out of the box. If it is nvidia, try this which should install the 3rd party hardware drivers. Open up a terminal

sudo apt install nvidia-driver

Linux Mint XFCE edition is a big lighter on resources vs the stock Cinnamon.
 
It's the iGPU so Intel graphics. There's plenty of ram and processor space, it just seems like it's not properly accessing the iGPUs transcoder
 
Okay, that should work out of the box with your specs but I'm not that geeky either as I have never tried to do what you are doing. I don't like to refer to another website but the Linux Mint reddit are really good and live, eat, and crap this stuff all day. They were helpful to me and very active. I hope they can help you. Mint is a great distro and I use it on my laptops.

EDIT: What is your kernel version? Just goolging, updating to 6.5 seems to have helped people.

Have you tried different programs? VLC? mpv? ffplay? web browser? Kodi?
Something with configurable codecs/output drivers like mpv or VLC should tell you if it's being accelerated properly in the logs.

Doesn't that have its own binary blob or even a firmware requirement? I don't think it's natively supported.

I have iGPU with Intel and baseball, sports, and videos plays well on the laptop themselves with Mint, but like I said, I've never tried HDMI on a 4k TV (don't even own a 4k TV to be honest). PeaFUCK TV though doesn't work on any linux distro.

OP. If you get an answer, let us know how you did it in case I do get an 4k TV
