ULS 190: A Fedoraish Direction - Controversies Abound, NTSYNC Lands, and OpenSUSE Pivots
This week the Rust controversy continues, and a kernel maintainer stirs up some political drama on the way out the door. NTSYNC and Wayland HDR finally land... and you can't use them yet. KDE Plasma pushes 6.3 out the door, OBS threatens to sue Fedora, and OpenSUSE surprises us all by moving to SELinux. For tips we have etckeeper for versioning your /etc files, pw-config for querying your Pipewire config, and a more detailed guide to using jq to manipulate JSON data.

ULS 189: Rustrated By Frust - Canonical, Rust, and Risc-V
It's apparently not always safe to apply to Canonical, Nvidia pushes drivers to go with its new hardware, and apparently Linux now runs inside PDFs. Then there's a bit of a flame war to cover over Rust in the kernel, at least one maintainer leaves, and there's the normal churn of application updates to talk about. For tips, we have EasyCron so you don't have to use Google every time you write a cron job, dig for abusing DNS to check if your local Internet connection works, pw-dump to get excrutiating details on your local Pipewire environment, and rocm-smi to make sure nobody's mining bitcoin on your GPU.

ULS 188: We Don't Talk About ChromeOS - Thunderbird, CEF, and GTK
We're celebrating the 1.7 release of Gparted, the new hybrid approach to a queueing problem in the Linux kernel, and musing over the news that GTK5 won't have any X11 support. Then there's KDE news, a Thunderbird update, OpenAI's troubled relationship with that "open" element of their name, and the kernel's maintainer worries. For tips we have pw-v4l2 for Pipewire fun, certbot for HTTPS certificate wrangling, and rocminfo for examining your system's ROCM status. You can find the show notes at https://bit.ly/3Emasia and happy Linuxing!
