I know people love hating on #systemd but there are so many things that are great about it. The journal is among the best (and the one that people seem to hate the most for reasons I find hard to relate to). Building a service with good logging is literally free, no code required, STDOUT/STDERR goes to the journal, you're done. Ingesting those logs into something like Loki is also free. #linux
My laptop screen broke, so I figured I could use my #SteamDeck as replacement. Didn't want to loose Steam OS, though, it's a gaming device after all.
So I bought a SanDisk SD card for 35€, and used #mkosi to flash a #fedora workstation disk image onto it. Took a few days to understand what #fedora packages I need for the full workstation experience, but in the the end the process was surprisingly smooth.
Our goal is to make GNOME OS a daily driver for QA and finalize the migration, but this work will be fundamental to the future of all secure image based / immutable Linux distributions.
#systemd v256~rc1 is out! You know the drill, download it, run it, find all the bugs and report them - possibly to somebody else, I'll be at the nearest pub

Credit where credit is due! I'd really like to take a minute and thank Jia Tan how they helped us to finally get sd_notify() support merged into OpenSSH upstream!
My number one wish from the fallout of the xz backdoor is that it kills autoconf/configure/autohell. That shit is illegible and watching for compile failure is a shitty way to test for features
