Welcome to the monthly update for openSUSE Tumbleweed for April 2024. This month began after addressing last month’s supply chain attack against xz compression library for the rolling release. An explanation of that XZ Backdoor, how it was address and what was learned can be found on news.opensuse.org....
There is a growing problem of documentation being locked into walled gardens. Most particularly, Cloudflare and to a lesser extent hosts like gitlab·com where several demographics of people are discriminated against. The discrimination manifests either as an outright blockade or as a CAPTCHA which often requires non-blind users...
Hi all, please help me figure out this weird issue I’ve been having. Any time I leave my laptop idle for a long time, when I come back to it, it’s back to the log in screen as in the laptop rebooted....
I had a dream that the NVIDIA drivers in the OpenSUSE repo for Tumbleweed were already compiled for kernel 6.5.4. Where can I read about the reasons why it’s still only for 6.5.3?
KDE packages were just renamed from {package} to {package}5. If you're on unstable you'll see a big update replacing a lot of KDE frameworks, but it's just a rename....
I understood the point of having a clean break, but I've always thought that dnf was really a downgrade from a human-centric name like yum. I know that I can still use yum from the command line due to the built-in alias, but does anyone else think that we should just move back to making that the default command, and simply...

Hey everyone. So Last night there was a general problem with my building’s network connectivity. This morning my landlord let me know it was fixed, which it was. I verified this from my mobile phone as well as the laptop I am using right now to write this post. However on my fairly new and hence barebones desktop running arch,...
It’s great to see people face to face after a long time. Kicked off the first day with an ADHD trip of a talk. Rather than putting links in my slides, where nobody has the chance of actually follow, I’ve assembled them here. Enjoy!
Multi windows/sessions support landed in Workbench. 🛠️ You'll be able to consult Library demos while working on your prototype. This is also a requirement for future on-disk folder projects support in Workbench. Following up @bilelmoussaoui footsteps, here is a totally unnecessary screenshot of all Library demos open....
I have this Debian server that won’t stop crashing. It crashes once every 2 or 3 days. Everything’s up to date, the cpu is good and prime 95 never finds any problems. The ram is good and I’ve run every ram test there is and never found anything wrong. I just can’t get it to stop crashing and it’s driving me insane....
2023.07.01 is listed at being 813.3 MB in size. This may just be me, but it feels like only a couple years ago it hit 600 MB, when it could still fit on a CD. It makes me wonder when we’ll see it cross a gigabyte in size, and also which modern 64 bit distros can still fit on an actual disc....
