I'm betting someone included the desktop file in the upstream and it has nothing to do with the distro.

Please don't recommend Mint. It's slow to merge upstream and I find noobs installing it all the time then complaining about features missing that were already in upstream for two years.

OpenRC on Gentoo works great. I have a full bleeding edge Wayland KDE Plasma with Pipewire setup that I game on. OpenRC recently added user "units" aka services running as a user after a session start. Something that many new GUI

If they actually did this they would vendor lock you into a custom DM after one or two iterations and then anyone not using that DM would be locked out of any real software. It's a Trojan horse.

The problem is as soon as you run something new and it doesn't scale properly in X11 you're gonna be making a bug report instead of using what everyone else is using. Currently just with the screen sharing thing it's not even

We're gonna be using this to validate someone didn't move your login to another device. Which will protect you from session hijacking. Your work stuff will start requiring it. Your media accounts will too. Or else linux will simpl

X11 has basically no development anymore. That means regressions are entirely ignored. I switched my Gentoo box from X11 to Wayland three years ago at this point. It's shocking that people still install X11 as a default in 2026 except

That's cause you're using a distro like mint which is using older builds of stuff. Get yourself a most recent plasma 6 Wayland setup with pipewire for audio. It even has rdp server now. What's most likely happening is your us

Remote attestation is just generating a random blob on the remote side and then making the tpm 2.0 module on a computer sign the blob with a private key. You then provide the signature and the public key to the remote for verification. That

Secureboot is something else. It verifies the boot loader at the BIOS. This can be broken by the system itself (like if it's hacked). So it's protecting you against modifications to the boot loader. This is where kernel modules ca

Yea I was looking at this for work. We require full disk encryption for all operating systems but linux is the one where it's a passphrase or a yubikey. In my personal life it would just make managing my PC more annoying. Imagine a mot

Aren't you guys actually talking about a TPM 2.0 device being present on the machine and not a CPU specifically? Cause the whole Windows 11 thing was (I thought) full disk encryption with TPM 2.0 attestation booted from a secure boot B

The profit margin has to be significantly higher than simply plopping that cash straight into an index fund. The risk of a project failure is simply too high.

Tpm isn't designed for this use case. You can use it for disk encryption or for identity attestation but step 1 for id attestation is asking the tpm to generate a key and then trusting that fingerprint from then on after doing a test s

The bpf api isn't the only telemetry source for an anti cheat module. There's a lot of other things you can look at. A bpf api showing blanks for known pid descendent trees would be a big red flag. You're right that it's

Well yeah but then eBPF would not work and then the anti cheat could just show that it's not working and lock you out. This isn't complicated. Even the Crowdstrike falcon agent has switched to bpf because it lowers the risk that a

The Linux kernel has eBPF now so if they wanted to start spying on everything you do they can just do it.
