Honestly, I just disabled CUPS since I don't have a printer anyway. It was just wasting resources.
👍!
The best news was last, Valve Wayland and Valve working with Arch should be in the title.
🐧
Just based off of how you presented this info?…I've subscribed….ok so lets get some t-shirts….coffee mugs?….mousepads and pens going!…hahah.
As for the CUPS issue? would this pertain to a laptop that secured with not only encryption (prior to login) and with the su/sudo account disabled?….(not to mention the complex PW and inability to connect to a printer without su/sudo authentication first) I think depending on the user?…this might be an issue. In regards to those who might be tech-savvy? AS long as you stay up-to-date with your updates and patches?…you should be ok.
COSMIC is missing its most important feature: screen recording, not just screenshots! 🤔
I don't understand why it's not a higher priority to include this!
I love Linux Mint but do not print at home! When I have the rare doc that needs to be printed I save it to GDrive, go to the Public Library and pay them to print it out, I am not a business! They maintain the equipment and replace the ink, I just pay for the pages I need. In the past way too many ink carts have dried up on me and I have had to buy new ink just to print one or two pages, then the ink would sit and dry out. Also no one gets access to my hardware but me and the wife. So I feel that my system is safe, Linux Mint 22. Ubuntu 24.04 and 24.10 errors out like crazy on me during install! I have not been able to get it to install on my MSI450 with AMD 5 3400; 16gb ram; 11TB (4 drives); no GPU! On my Ventoy drive I 50 isos and distro hop every weekend or when something exciting comes along. I ALWAYS GO BACK TO LINUX MINT still the best distro running cinnamon. We are the new explorers.
New Ubuntu is so fast! Why it's so fast?
Tor/Tails merger makes total sense…. Cosmic alpha 2!? I just installed alpha 1!
I love these Ubuntu Easter eggs, 20 years is a big deal. I spent so much time playing with Ubuntu 4.10, installing it, breaking it, repairing it. Can’t wait to hear the bongo drums again🪘
Michael, I posted a quick and dirty how-to for cosmic on Tumbleweed, but YouTube hid it immediately. openSUSE has the Cosmic repo, but there are zero instructions.
Maybe someone knows, but what Linux distro is indestructible today (in terms of file system)? I have several cheap chinese SSDs which degrading just by storage (incredible garbage) and btrfs Ubuntu-type Pika Linux there failed miserably, it's died by corrupted certain symbols in the parts of code. This file system cannot restore itself or repair the code. Maybe someone made distro of self-repairable file system, i want to test that.
GNUS GNEWS 😅

Again, here's my Warty remastered wallpaper.
(For those of you people haven't notice yet)
I really like your this linux news show. ♥️
Valve is such a godsend to the Linux community! Thank you to everyone that working on Valve! <3
19:13. LOL! So now you’re breaking into comedy?? 😂
I have to say I did love the brown theme of early Ubuntu. It was such a warm, friendly, and kinda natural looking thing and I'm really sad that there's no good replacement for it on Plasma.
Value is seeing the trend. Windows days are numbered. Linux will be future gaming platform
9.1 CVE scale, not great not terrible (/j)
Looking forward to your video on COSMIC!
I think you might have underplayed the CUPS vulnerability a bit. The prerequisites are defaults on many popular distros, which means the user doesn't have to do anything but print. I think a vulnerability like this could be particularly easy to exploit at someplace like a university with public or semi-public WiFi and lots of shared printers.
The store seems to be down. I am already a patreon. I have been trying to buy a Das Geek TShirt for a little while.
Yeah, the rim shot sound bite would have gone really well right there ;o) That or "Pah-rum-pum"
So that's why so many cups updates landed in Ubuntu today 😅
I remember commenting on wanting to see a video comparing Rust to other Coding software.
Personally I just want to know what the best place to start with coding is for a noob.
TorTails sounds like a criminal's wet dream
Valve X Arch-Linux was the crossover I was expecting, but not to this level.
TOR + Tails?
You mean US Gov Project + US Gov Project?
Like CIA + Another CIA (Pegasus…)
"Internal invesigation proved that we are not the same"
Bruh, can't say macOS is Linux, eh?
Thanks. Is the membership only available on patreon? Any plan to open a youtube membership?
Steamos becoming to arch what ubuntu is to debian 😀
thanks for this Michael 🎉
Woohoo full wayland here we go
Your channel isn't that big yet. But this news format is great, and it will get big eventually. I already thank you for the work you do.
I have tor
I have tails
HAH!
TorTails!
first!
