Feed aggregator

Version 0.1 of the Wayback project has been released:

Wayback is an X11 compatibility layer that allows for running full X11-only desktop environments using Wayland. It is essentially an X11 server backed by Wayland, leveraging wlroots and Xwayland. Our goal is for Wayback to eventually be a completely drop-in replacement to the Xorg binary, thus reducing maintenance burden for distro maintainers.

Ever since Wayback was announced on June 28, we have been making lots of progress to get it as stable and functional as possible, and while this is a preview release it is already daily-driveable by users with simple requirements, as long as they don't mind bugs.

The release is considered alpha-quality and is missing a number of features, including multi-monitor support and DPMS, but adventurous users can find the code here.

The 6.15.8, 6.12.40, 6.6.100, and 6.1.147 stable kernels have been released. Each contains important fixes throughout the kernel tree, as usual.

People tend to put a lot of trust into their phones. Those devices have access to no end of sensitive data about our lives — our movements, finances, communications, and more — so phones belonging to even relatively low-profile people can be high-value targets. Android devices run free software, at least at some levels, so it should be possible to ensure that they are working in their owners' interests. Off-the-shelf Android installations tend to fall short of that goal. The GrapheneOS Android rebuild is an attempt to improve on that situation.

Security updates have been issued by Debian (chromium, firefox-esr, and mediawiki), Fedora (firefox), Oracle (git, kernel, redis, and sudo), Red Hat (aardvark-dns, firefox, kernel, and thunderbird), Slackware (httpd), SUSE (php7, php8, and salt), and Ubuntu (linux-raspi-realtime and ruby-rack).

Our reviewer dives into Sparky Linux and discovers a distro bursting with choices, flexibility, and user-friendly features—making it a standout option for Linux enthusiasts at all levels.
