One thing that Linux and OSS often gets wrong

One thing I think a lot of open source software gets wrong is fun and joy of use. For example, I hate Microsoft Office with their addition of CoPilot and adding features no one asked for. However, it looks and feels approximately 10x better than Libre Office which is touted as the ultimate replacement. I have similar feelings with most software packages found on Linux when compared to their Windows (or especially macOS) equivalents. They are usually “better” in some way, but feel like the human aspect of it was left in the dust, and sometimes that has to count for something.

I’m sure a lot of people will point out how “customizable” a lot of this stuff is and I get it but I’m speaking more about the general vibe of using OSS vs. paid or proprietary software on other operating systems. Not your pretty KDE theme.

Few of the notable Kernel improvements will be landing/visible in next release i.e., 7.2

\+- strscpy() when the destination must be NUL-terminated.

\+- strscpy_pad() when the destination must be NUL-terminated and

\+ zero-padded (e.g., structs crossing privilege boundaries).

\+- memtostr() for NUL-terminated destinations from non-NUL-terminated

\+ fixed-width sources (with the `__nonstring` attribute on the source).

\+- memtostr_pad() for the same, but with zero-padding.

\+- strtomem() for non-NUL-terminated fixed-width destinations, with

\+ the `__nonstring` attribute on the destination.

\+- strtomem_pad() for non-NUL-terminated destinations that also need

\+ zero-padding.

\+- memcpy_and_pad() for bounded copies from potentially unterminated

\+ sources where the destination size is a runtime value.

Release Nuvio Desktop v1.1.1 - Experimental Linux Support

[Release\] Nuvio Desktop v1.1.1 - Experimental Linux Support

Hello everyone,

I am sharing an experimental v1.1.1 release of Nuvio Desktop. This is an unofficial build focused on testing the new player and library loading across different Linux distributions.

Improvements:

Integrated mediamp/mpv for direct video playback.
 Added Screen Wake Lock (Linux: dbus-send).
Optimized runtime detection and library loading.
 Resolved black screen issues.

Installation:

Debian/Ubuntu: nuvio\_1.1.1\_amd64.deb
 Generic Linux: Nuvio-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage

Technical Notes:

Corrected java.library.path for better compatibility.
 Fixed LinuxDisplayWakeLock using asynchronous dbus-send.

Project Link: https://github.com/aelrased/NuvioDesktop/releases/tag/v1.1.4

I have submitted a pull request (#58) to the main repository to add native Linux support and am currently waiting for review. I would appreciate any feedback on stability and performance on your specific setups.

# Thanks for your support!

Linux and Security: How do you all do it?

Personally, I've been doing quite a bit of security-hardening with my setup on Linux. I use Fedora Linux, I keep it up to date as much as I can (usually when Discover tells me it's a security update), and I've been following the playbook from https://secureblue.dev/ for further tweaks. I enabled Secure Boot in UEFI. I enabled IOMMU and Pre-Boot DMA protection. For the most part, every supported feature in my board is green on fwupgmgr security with the only one that's red that isn't something I couldn't find in my BIOS being "Platform Secure Boot" and I suspect that is because I chose to enroll the Ventoy Secure Boot key. I'm running SELinux in enforcing mode, I blacklisted the modules that Dirty Frag exploited prior to it getting patched, and I took some sysctls from this config, specifically disabling kexec and io_uring. I'll be testing more of these and seeing if they are worth it. I use SecureBlue's browser as well, Trivalent, on Fedora.

I know some are very old-school "common sense is your best security", and I used to be like that. I thought I would be good just by ignoring sketchy links. But I do feel like doing more for your security profile is generally better.

EDIT: I also explicitly avoid NPM, I masked sshd and block SSH on my firewall, and only have a few ports open that I explicitly chose to open.

Tauon v10 released

Tauon is a cross-platform desktop music player, primarily made for Linux.

Now I know what you're thinking, yet another vibe coded slop music player to add to the pile. Hear me out, its actually been in development for over 10 years. We have a small but dedicated user base. You probably just never heard of it because I suck at marketing.

Since I last made a post on Reddit we've added support for milkdrop visualisations (very cool), Jellyfin support, more UI customisation and improved theming support.

If you're in the market for a new music player then check it out!
