@Itsfoss Isn't that a bit clickbaity and overstatement? 😅 It would take all of the Linux kernel to be rewritten in Rust. Even if it was, wouldn't unsafe code be necessary to write kernel code? AFAIK unsafe code is not protected against memory safety bugs.

Rust Could Eliminate 80% of Linux Kernel CVEs! itsfoss.com/news/linux-ker…

@Terry_Hendrix @system76 Completely agree. I'm totally done with Ubuntu. The last version I will use if I will use it is 24.04

@system76 Hard pass on rust-coreutils. That entire project was poorly thought out and implemented poorly.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is now available pre-loaded on @System76 hardware. DDOS attacks hit Ubuntu's infra and slowed us down, so we built our own and dropped the Launchpad dependency entirely. Faster releases from here on out. When you configure your next machine, you can now choose from: • Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (new!) • Ubuntu 24.04 LTS • Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS with COSMIC DE (our favorite!) #Linux #Ubuntu #system76

There are #XLibre packages available for #OracleLinux. You can find them at the Fedora Copr XLibre group copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/xlibre…. The sources are available at github.com/xlibre-fedora-…. A big thank you to Anders RH @andersrh_rh and Kevin Kofler for creating and maintaining them!

The best software you’re using was never sold to you. VLC plays every file format you throw at it. No codecs to install. No subscriptions. No “upgrade to unlock.” It has worked this way since 2001 and it still does today. It runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS. It plays corrupted files, half-downloaded videos, obscure formats that nothing else touches. Media players have come and gone. VLC is still here. Brave rethought what a browser should do by default. Native ad blocking. Built-in fingerprint protection. HTTPS upgrades. No data collection pipeline feeding back to an ad network. It is built on Chromium so compatibility is not a concern, but it ships with privacy baked in rather than bolted on as an extension. Two completely different tools. Same principle. Built by people who believed software should serve the user first. Both are open source. Both are free. Not free with a catch. Not free until the trial expires. Free. Most of the infrastructure people rely on daily is quietly owned by companies with misaligned incentives. VLC and Brave are the exception. They exist because communities and developers decided some things should just work for everyone, regardless of what they can pay. That matters more than most people realize.

@SonicDesktop Awesome! Keep up the good work!

We forked the #KDE Plasma Login Manager. It now runs on #X11, drops privileges after init, and supports #systemd-free too. We tested it on Artix Linux with OpenRC, CachyOS with systemd, and on the #FreeBSD-based GhostBSD. #SonicDE sonic-login-manager youtube.com/watch?v=rTnV7-…

@LundukeJournal We have also fixed it in the CachyOS kernel for Fedora and EL.

Fixes for Dirty Frag are beginning to be released for some Linux Distros.

The CachyOS kernel for Fedora and EL has been updated to fix the dirty frag vulnerability. pc-rytteren.dk/blog/en/cachyo…

Linux distributions are scrambling to secure against the serious “Dirty Frag” Linux exploit, which was unveiled before fixes were in place. AlmaLinux, which aims to be binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, is taking the unusual step of deviating from Red Hat and “patching ahead of our upstream”. “Security is a top priority at AlmaLinux, and the severity of this flaw — combined with how trivial it is to exploit — meant we did not want to wait. Patches are not yet available from Red Hat, so our core team has built patched kernels.” almalinux.org/blog/2026-05-0…

Impressive

Seriously. When did we forget how to make “a cord that doesn’t break in a week”? We used to endlessly fidget with that telephone cord. Then we used it as a whip. Then we tied things up with it. And the darn thing still worked for another three decades before we bought a new phone. Not because the cord (or the phone) was broken… just because we wanted a new wireless one that didn’t need the (apparently indestructible) cord.

X11Libre 25.1.5 has been released in our COPR repo. pc-rytteren.dk/blog/en/x11lib…

I'm excited to see someone making MATE, Xorg, Compiz etc. available for EL10. copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/skip77/M…

@blink2xifnok @XLibreDev Yes I agree. When we applied for a group account I was ready to accept a rejection.. But they accepted 😅 But considering that they may not like our project it would be wise to have a backup repo in case they might end up changing their mind..

@andersrh_rh @XLibreDev i'm frankly surprised they let you have the repo on COPR given the hostility toward XLibre

We released the #XLibre Xserver 25.0.0.22 and 25.1.4 on Apr 21 containing #security fixes for CVE-2026-33999, CVE-2026-34000, CVE-2026-34001, CVE-2026-34002, and CVE-2026-34003 of the X.Org Server. We recommend everyone update ASAP. #CVE github.com/X11Libre/xserv…
