🚨 ⚠️ Emergency PSA: A critical security exploit was discovered in the xz package recently, used for compression and decompression on nearly all Linux distributions.

Rawhide users ARE impacted and should immediately STOP using Rawhide until the package update is fully rolled back. (1/3)

Security Advisory: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/urgent-security-alert-fedora-41-and-rawhide-users

The vulnerability may be present in Fedora 40 but it is not believed to be activated. Fedora 40 users are advised to use caution and update their systems soon when the rolled-back version is available, for more certainty.

Fedora 39 and 38 users are not impacted. (2/3)

@arix that change proposal was withdrawn within a couple of months when it came in. No revised proposal has been brought forward so this is not on the docket as of today.

Testing opportunities keep rolling in. Next up, Linux Kernel 6.8!

Find the instructions for how to help with testing below.

Linux Kernel Test Days run from Mar 24-31.

fedora, to Kubernetes
@fedora@fosstodon.org avatar

Kubernetes is a household name in the cloud native world. OKD is a community distribution of Kubernetes, and you can run it locally with CRC! Great for playing with a more rounded out container platform than what Kubernetes does on its own.

The team behind the new Anaconda web UI installer is looking for more community feedback. If you're interested, read the latest update and discuss in this thread!
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/feedback-anaconda-web-ui-partitioning/108995

Unfortunately the new installer will be postponed to Fedora 41, but this is a chance to look at what else needs work so that we can be confident enough to push this out to users. If you're interested in contributing to Fedora, this may be a good place to do so.

Startup company Playtron is looking to be the default OS for future handheld PCs to rival Windows... but they're doing it with Fedora Atomic Desktops!
https://www.theverge.com/24090470/playtron-gaming-os-linux-handhelds-exclusive

Seems like it's early days and not a sure thing, but they are in talks with hardware vendors like Ayaneo.

It's great to see Fedora Atomic helping to pave the way for free and open source operating systems on handheld PCs!

You've heard of this little thing called Asahi Linux right? Don't miss your chance to see a demo of Fedora Asahi Remix in action tomorrow at SCaLE!

It's been in the works for a while, but more testing always helps. Join us for Test Days for DNF 5!

DNF 5 is targeting Fedora Linux 41 at this point, so to make things even smoother we want to start doing testing as of now. That means testers will get exposure to Rawhide as well, our development branch.

If you're interested in helping, testing will run from today, Mar 15, to Tue, Mar 19. Try it over the weekend!

Get started here: https://fedoramagazine.org/contribute-to-rawhide-test-days-dnf-5/

What do we have to share at SCaLE this year? How about three talks and two bonus talks from prominent contributors!

"A software profiler helps developers improve performance by characterizing what is happening on a computer over a period of time."

Using sysprof you can record what your system is doing and how it's performing in an easier way than before and with tons of granularity.

How interesting would 's Flock be to attend, for someone who is not a packager or OS builder, but purely an independent volunteer GNOME desktop contributor? I don't care about containers, cloud, embedded, or immutable distros, so I doubt I'd be attracted to presentations (I am rarely interested in listening to presentations in any conference). Friendlies I'd know are likely Red Hat community.

By train: 2x11 hours, 550$ for return trip 🤦️
By car: 2x6h total, 2x cheaper 🤨️

@nekohayo go through the talks we had at Flock last year and that will give you a good idea of what will go on. Topics may not be the same, but those are the areas we explore. And there's always the hallway track.

SCaLE 21x attendees, if you visit the Fedora booth you will have an opportunity to see the Fedora Slimbook 14"! We've heard great feedback, so be sure to check it out.

By the way, @Conan_Kudo from the Fedora KDE SIG has been trying Fedora KDE on it with good results! He'll be at @socallinuxexpo if you have questions.

@chriswood doesn't seem to be happening on our end, but we'll keep a lookout. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
