Devs of which project? I thought it was in Kernel 6.14 and wine 11?

Holy shit, that takes this post to another level.

Good luck to everyone involved.

There is the Mint version that is based directly on Debian, instead of Ubuntu: LMDE

I haven’t used it myself, maybe someone with actual experience can comment on it.

Not at all, if you actually read the article, in which the connection to Signal is laid out clearly.

What’s reason we are talking about Signal here.

That’s very easy to answer. Signal comes up here because that’s what actually happened in the case that brought the bug to light.

The FBI recovered message content from the Apple notification service that happened to come from Signal, and used it to secure a conviction against people who used Signal in planning their anti-ICE activities

Unlucky for Signal from a PR perspective but that’s just what actually happened, so people write about that rather than hypotheticals where other encrypted messaging apps would have suffered the same issue.

That’s not what I read unfortunately. When booted in secureboot, the kernel enters lockdown mode which disables all hibernation, regardless of the swap being encrypted or plain text.

It seems there are two kernel patches available to enable hibernation in lockdown mode, but not in mainline.

This one is more of an admin override, where you take the risk of root replacing the swap contents

And this one is complicated but uses the TPM to ensure only the kernel, not root, can write the hibernation image in a way that causes it to be trusted on waking, so there is no reduction in assurance compared to clean booting a signed kernel with secureboot:

But that’s all too much for me, I intend to turn it off again.

I recently learned that the option to hibernate goes away when Fedora is booted with SecureBoot. It was surprising to me, and might be good to know for you, that’s why I’m mentioning it.

It’s right there at the top:

Wow it’s almost back at feature parity already! Only 4.5 years after release!

The content is hard to believe. But it seems the tweet is real. I have no idea if Mahdi Khanalizadeh usually has such insider access to information.

my workflow does not work at all with the secondary screen switching in sync with the primary screen

Same here. My workaround so far has been to put the windows that belong on the secondary to the “Keep Window on All Desktops” mode.

Microsoft is being a dick. Booting from an external USB-attached SSD works fine once you work around the installer limitations.

When I did this I ended up basically partitioning the disk manually with diskpart and installing Windows manually using the command prompt. I used this blog post to guide me:

But I remember I had some issue that made me start over… what the heck was it. Something like the modern Windows 10 image being larger than what the author had encountered. Ah - I think the issue was the WIM file was over 4GB and wouldn’t fit on the authors 4096 MB “Recovery Image” partition. So make that one larger (check the iso for the wim file’s size) if you plan to create a recovery partition.

Another bookmark I made at the time was this, I think it was mainly for the command listing the SKUs supported by the WIM file, but no guarantees, it’s been a while: https://gist.github.com/Alee14/e8ce6306a038902df6e7a6d667544ac9

Good luck if you decide to try!

That’s for MBR partitioned disks, where they fight over the first sector of the disk which is used as the boot sector.

Computer models starting from around 2013 should support UEFI boot. If you boot in UEFI mode you use a GPT partitioned disk with an EFI System Partition. In there Windows does not overwrite grub. In mine for example grub was in the ESP under /EFI/fedora/ and Microsoft found the ESP and put its stuff in /EFI/Microsoft.

The worst I’ve experienced is that Windows puts the Windows Boot Manager back on top of the UEFI boot order, to fix that, I wrote a comment before, that I’ll just link here, if it’s really just the order you can also just change it back in the UEFI menu.

Another bad thing is that some laptop UEFIs, especially early ones are utterly broken. They ignore your boot order, or your entries in the UEFI boot manager, sometimes they just load the fallback path defined in the UEFI spec, which is \EFI\Boot\BOOTX64.efi, but that’s the OEMs fault. I’ve seen both Fedora and Microsoft write their loader to the fallback path. I’m not sure if they clobber the other ones if it exists already, because I never boot from that path, so I wouldn’t notice.

you can only run executables on the primary boot partition

lol

Have you tried asking ChatGPT or Gemini ?

lmao

Emergency thermal shut-off is a very common function in various pieces of computer hardware. And if throttling doesn’t help it should indeed shut down, rather than cause damage.

Two that I run for our little group outside the ones you mention are Space Engineers and Valheim

Edit: Space Engineers is a little annoying though, you either have to use some emulated / translated setup, (I think I saw some being cobbled together by others), or you have to run a Windows Server VM.

Yes there is also device managment for them. Our company uses Jamf. Not sure how it compares to AD group policies in power but some restrictions, settings and updates get pushed on the regular.

So much.

• Window Management, especially fullscreen
• Alt Tabbing Behaviour
• Default Keyboard Layout
• The Dock with its forced defaults (Finder leftmost, Trash rightmost etc)
• No volume control over HDMI
• Power Management (no manual hibernate, closing lid always sleeps)
• File System Support
• The reactions that auto trigger on webcam
• The Global Menu
• Unchangable limit to virtual desktops
• Default apps being hard to change in some cases (mailto: links for example)
• The weird software installation process with dragging icons to a special folder
• That I can’t temporarily disable a system management profile
• The way the BSD tools are slightly different than the GNU ones, with grep slower for certain patterns
• No Package Manager by default (unless you count the App store with forced accounts)
• Weird filesystem setup, far from FHS

I have installed various pieces of third party software to fix some of them, but still, those are things I dislike about macOS.

No, instead I’m forced to use macOS at work.

And Microsoft Teams, which is terrible, but somehow still better than Cisco Webex, which we had before.
