play00:00

hey everyone this is Nick and welcome to

play00:02

the Linux and open source news show this

play00:05

week we've got one major piece of news

play00:07

which is the major outage that started

play00:10

yesterday and made Millions probably of

play00:13

Windows PCS blue screen of death without

play00:16

really letting them recover very easily

play00:19

and that was all due to a third party

play00:20

program that also actually runs on Linux

play00:23

but didn't crash Linux boxes for some

play00:26

reason who knows what that could be we

play00:28

also have soua asking the open Souza

play00:31

Community Dro to Rebrand change their

play00:34

name and change their logo to be well

play00:36

not as close to sua as they currently

play00:39

are and we have a lot of other Linux and

play00:42

open- Source news and we also have this

play01:48

website purchase so as you probably know

play01:51

there was a giant it outage on Friday

play01:55

causing Banks TV broadcasters Airlines

play01:58

train operators hospitals and basically

play02:02

every type of company or business or

play02:04

organization that uses computers to just

play02:08

stop working for a while the Swiss cyber

play02:11

security office blamed the crowd strike

play02:13

for the issue and it was then confirmed

play02:15

that the issue came from that crowd

play02:17

strike being a cyber security firm that

play02:20

provides a product called Falcon sensor

play02:23

which itself provides realtime

play02:25

monitoring and protection from cyber

play02:27

attacks and this thing seems used by a

play02:30

lot of major companies to try and

play02:32

protect their software and their servers

play02:35

the issue seems linked to a

play02:37

misconfiguration or a faulty update In

play02:39

Crowd strike which basically made

play02:42

Windows crash on a blue screen of death

play02:45

and it just could not reboot easily or

play02:47

at all after that it basically cost what

play02:50

I can only assume is billions of dollars

play02:53

worth of economic cost more than a

play02:55

thousand flights were cancelled by

play02:57

various Airlines payment systems were

play03:00

down for hours some hospitals couldn't

play03:02

work at all even the freaking Paris

play03:05

Olympics Games seemed affected now there

play03:08

was also an outage for Microsoft 365 but

play03:11

we later learned that this wasn't

play03:13

specifically due to crowd strike they

play03:15

had their own problems just as well

play03:18

other affected Parties By The Crowd

play03:20

strike problem included Visa Amazon the

play03:23

911.gov website that handles emergencies

play03:26

in the US and more now fortunately a fix

play03:29

was found a few hours after the issue

play03:32

was first reported you could just delete

play03:34

a file from the crowd strike directory

play03:37

in system 32 drivers on Windows and it

play03:40

just stopped windows from crashing all

play03:42

the time the problem is you had to

play03:44

actually have access to the drive and if

play03:46

you were already in the blue screen of

play03:48

death configuration chances are you

play03:50

could not do that without using some

play03:52

kind of live USB Microsoft also said

play03:55

rebooting a PC 15 times would fix the

play03:58

problem uh which apparently it did for

play04:00

some people crowd strike couldn't push

play04:02

an update remotely to fix the problem

play04:05

every system had to be manually fixed

play04:08

which means hours were lost simply to

play04:11

make PCS bootable and the real issue

play04:13

here is that there is one single system

play04:16

crowd strike in this instance which is

play04:18

deployed by 60% of Fortune 500 companies

play04:22

by eight out of the 10 Financial firms

play04:24

and eight out of the 10 top tech

play04:27

companies it is a single point of

play04:29

failure that most major companies have

play04:32

in common and that's always a bad thing

play04:35

and it is important to remember that

play04:37

crowd strik tool works on Linux and Mac

play04:39

OS but Linux and Mac OS systems just did

play04:42

not crash with that update it's entirely

play04:45

a Windows related problem due to a

play04:48

problem with that software and this

play04:49

raises two major problems the first one

play04:52

is that one single system being deployed

play04:55

on so many computers that has access to

play04:58

that lower level operating system to the

play05:00

point where a faulty update will

play05:02

actually crash the entire OS that's

play05:05

unacceptable no program should have that

play05:07

level of access to any operating system

play05:10

second how badly does your OS have to be

play05:12

designed if a thirdparty app can publish

play05:15

an update with one file and this makes

play05:17

your entire OS unbootable where are the

play05:20

fail safes the deactivation the safe

play05:22

modes the recovery partitions whatever

play05:26

this is just unacceptable I'm not saying

play05:28

it could never happen on Linux or Mac OS

play05:31

I'm saying it didn't now Souza the

play05:35

company behind soua Enterprise Linux

play05:37

apparently asked the open Souza

play05:39

Community to stop using the Souza brand

play05:43

name for their Community Dro now

play05:45

apparently they have asked very calmly

play05:48

very nicely there are no threats no

play05:50

deadlines they just said hey you know

play05:52

what we would be more at ease if you

play05:54

could just stop using the Souza branding

play05:57

because it really links this community

play05:59

effort with our Enterprise drro and

play06:01

we're not sure that's how we want things

play06:03

to go there are still implications to

play06:06

this demand because obviously if the

play06:08

open Souza Community doesn't comply or

play06:10

drags their feet chances are Souza as a

play06:13

company might withdraw a lot of the

play06:15

support that they currently offer to

play06:18

open Souza including infrastructure and

play06:20

a lot of developer time in the end what

play06:23

soua wants is for open Souza to stop

play06:25

using the chameleon and the Souza name

play06:28

which is reason able Fedora isn't called

play06:31

open rail for example or open red hat

play06:34

having a different brand is acceptable

play06:36

in my opinion it's probably more of a

play06:39

let's not let our potential customers

play06:41

think that open soua is just free soua

play06:44

enterprise Linux kind of thing this is

play06:47

also compounded by some worries about

play06:49

the governance of open Souza which

play06:51

apparently isn't super proactive the

play06:53

board doesn't really meet often enough

play06:56

to address the issues a drro faces on a

play06:58

daily basis it is apparently not

play07:01

structured well enough to handle this

play07:03

kind of stuff now reading through the

play07:05

discussions on open Souza's mailing list

play07:07

it does look like a lot of prominent

play07:09

open soua community members are in

play07:12

agreement with this demand basically the

play07:14

idea is hey you know what maybe let's

play07:17

not make so much drama about this and

play07:19

let's comply with what the community

play07:21

providing us with so many resources is

play07:24

asking of us it's kind of a good Common

play07:27

Sense practice thing and they are within

play07:29

their every right to demand that of

play07:31

course some people will paint this as

play07:33

corpo bad harasses Linux Community but

play07:37

this is well within Souza's perview to

play07:39

ask it's their branding and it's their

play07:41

resources that they're lending or giving

play07:43

to open Souza to help it grow so I don't

play07:46

think there's any drama really around

play07:48

this it's just a nice polite ask from a

play07:50

company to its Community effort and it

play07:53

it looks like it might just be followed

play07:55

now Solus the drro that Rose relatively

play07:59

Rec recently from its ashes decided that

play08:01

they would do away with app armor and

play08:04

snaps app armor being canonical solution

play08:07

to add security profiles to various apps

play08:10

and programs it's basically SE Linux

play08:12

that a lot of other disr use but for

play08:15

obuntu Solus developers decided to stop

play08:18

applying the app armor patch sets to

play08:20

anything other than their current LTS

play08:23

kernels because apparently it's just too

play08:25

much work and this in turn means snaps

play08:29

will be dropped in solos as well because

play08:31

snaps heavily depend on app armor to run

play08:34

with solid sandboxing and confinement

play08:37

and if you don't have up armor on your

play08:39

drro snaps run with partial confinement

play08:42

which is not as safe as snaps advertise

play08:45

themselves to be now the plan for Solus

play08:48

is to stop supporting snaps entirely in

play08:50

the future with users encourag to move

play08:53

to Flat packs instead and it's not an

play08:55

ideological choice either it is mostly

play08:58

because it is a lot less maintenance for

play09:00

the solo steam the app armor patch set

play09:03

seems pretty gigantic with 60 individual

play09:06

patches that have to be applied to every

play09:09

single update of the Linux kernel which

play09:11

might be very easy for canonical and

play09:14

their developers but it's probably way

play09:16

harder to do for a community effort that

play09:18

doesn't have that much Manpower it also

play09:21

means that without these patch sets

play09:22

solos can generate their ISO images on

play09:25

their own infrastructure which

play09:27

apparently wasn't possible previously so

play09:29

in early 2025 solos will no longer

play09:33

support snaps and will encourage people

play09:36

to move to either the native soless

play09:38

packages or two flat packs it's not a

play09:41

giant drro with a giant user base so

play09:43

it's not like oh Snaps are dead but it

play09:46

is an indication that slowly but surely

play09:48

most distributions are siding with flat

play09:51

packs or with their own packages and

play09:53

snaps is slowly being just limited to

play09:56

auntu gnome 47 has its first First Alpha

play10:00

out now it's pointed to be a big release

play10:03

with support for accent colors in the

play10:05

gnome shell and liit V apps meaning that

play10:07

all your applications from most other

play10:10

toolkits will at least share a color it

play10:13

can also now be compiled with whand only

play10:16

although this will depend on what your

play10:18

dis decides to go with Fedora will ship

play10:21

gnome by default without X11 but

play10:23

probably most other disos will retain

play10:26

the X11 session in the install Gom 47

play10:29

also adds support for VR headsets on

play10:31

Wayland with the DRM lease protocol it

play10:34

supports Hardware cursors even with KMS

play10:37

drivers it implemented the xdg dialogue

play10:40

protocol to handle how apps display

play10:43

modal Windows the shell has been

play10:45

slightly revamped to better work on

play10:47

smaller or bigger display sizes and gome

play10:51

software should have better performance

play10:53

thanks to asynchronous loading gnome 47

play10:56

also supports persistent remote login

play10:58

sessions you can also Force the remote

play11:01

computer to not go into hibernate when

play11:03

you're logged into it remotely gnome

play11:06

calls is now ported to gtk4 web has a

play11:08

few UI improvements and gnome tracker

play11:11

the thing that indexes all your files

play11:13

and Powers gnome searches has apparently

play11:16

been replaced with new modules that

play11:18

perform better you can already try the

play11:20

alpha using the gnomos iso it's not a Dr

play11:24

for daily use it's just for testing but

play11:26

it looks like it is going to be a pretty

play11:28

major release obviously I'll cover it in

play11:31

a dedicated video I think it's on the

play11:33

18th of September that it's supposed to

play11:35

come out and this is just the tip of the

play11:37

iceberg I'm pretty sure feature freeze

play11:40

is right before the beta stage so we

play11:42

might see even more stuff Landing in

play11:45

gome 47 before it has its stable release

play11:48

which is pretty big now the Linux kernel

play11:51

6.10 was released over the weekend it

play11:54

adds a new system call called M seal

play11:57

that can prevent changes to specific

play11:59

parts of the memory which should help

play12:01

with improving security for certain

play12:03

applications the first that really

play12:05

supports that and basically the only one

play12:07

right now is Google Chrome but there are

play12:09

plans to expand that to other

play12:11

applications there's a new profiling

play12:13

subsystem as well to let developers

play12:15

better identify potential memory leaks

play12:18

the Linux kernel now also adds encrypted

play12:21

interactions with the TPM chips most

play12:23

recent computers have so this thing can

play12:25

be used reliably and more securely

play12:28

networking performance should also be

play12:30

improved as well as Hardware support

play12:32

with improved sound drivers for some

play12:34

Asus and Lenovo thinkpads Microsoft

play12:37

Surface Pro devices should now support

play12:39

fan profile switching and thermal

play12:41

sensors as well there's more arm support

play12:44

as well for specific laptops improved

play12:46

camera performance and quality for Intel

play12:49

ipu and MPI cameras and we also have the

play12:52

usual pstate driver improvements for

play12:55

Intel and AMD CPUs which should give

play12:58

better performance and better battery

play13:00

life for most people there are also

play13:02

plenty of gaming Hardware improvements

play13:04

for controllers for handhelds there's

play13:07

better risk 5 support and better rust

play13:09

support in the Linux Colonels code base

play13:12

as well basically it is the usual big

play13:14

release with tons of improvements for

play13:17

virtually everyone now depending on your

play13:19

dis R you might get the update

play13:21

immediately you might already have it or

play13:23

you might never get it if you use the

play13:25

dis that stays to fix colal versions

play13:27

third party Repose exist for that but

play13:29

use them at your own risk and let's

play13:32

finish this with the gaming news first

play13:34

we've got a big update to pcsx 2 the

play13:38

Playstation 2 emulator first it should

play13:40

look much better because they have

play13:42

ditched the WX widgets toolkit in favor

play13:45

of cute which is a good choice sdl2 is

play13:49

now integrated as well and this will let

play13:51

users configure controllers much more

play13:53

easily even with autoc controller

play13:56

mapping plugins have been removed from

play13:58

the emulator for now but they have added

play14:00

a library of preconfigured game fixes

play14:03

you can also save per game

play14:05

configurations as well and they added

play14:07

support for retro achievements and who

play14:10

doesn't love throwing 50 chickens in the

play14:13

air and hitting them with a grenade all

play14:15

at once that's always the kind of stuff

play14:17

you really want to do in a game

play14:18

especially in an older retro PS2 game

play14:22

now I'm joking if you like achievements

play14:24

that's fine I don't understand you but

play14:26

that's fine and wine 9 13 was also

play14:30

released this week continuing the big

play14:32

rewrite of the command. exe engine which

play14:36

might be very useful for certain install

play14:38

processes and for various post install

play14:41

scripts that certain Windows apps use

play14:44

for people who want to actually use the

play14:46

Windows command line on Linux I don't

play14:48

know why but you can and they've also

play14:50

improved return codes for that so the

play14:52

commands will actually tell you if they

play14:55

succeed or not wine also supports odbc

play14:58

Drive drivers for Windows which is a

play15:00

driver used by a lot of systems that

play15:02

need to access databases there were also

play15:05

22 bugs fixed in this release including

play15:08

for Photoshop CC 2024 Victoria 2 Guild

play15:12

Wars 2 The Witcher 3 Assassin's Creed

play15:15

Revelations and more and it kind of

play15:17

surprised me to see Photoshop CC 2024 on

play15:21

this list because I was under the

play15:23

assumption that photoshop just did not

play15:25

run at all under why but the buck report

play15:28

said that the app closes down and

play15:31

crashes after a little while meaning

play15:33

that the app actually runs which is very

play15:35

surprising so I'll have to dig deeper on

play15:37

that because my understanding was you

play15:39

cannot run any of the Creative Cloud

play15:42

Suite with wine right now what you can

play15:45

run though is Linux on one of our

play15:47

sponsors computers tuxedo computers

play15:49

makes computers that run with Linux

play15:52

pre-installed they're based in Germany

play15:54

but they ship to a lot of countries in

play15:56

the world and all their computers have

play15:59

Hardware specifically picked because it

play16:01

works really well with Linux and if in

play16:03

their testing they encountered any

play16:05

problem with the hardware they actually

play16:07

submit patches upstream and they have

play16:09

packages in various repos so you can

play16:12

install those fixes that haven't been

play16:13

upstreamed yet onto a lot of popular

play16:16

distributions they have a wide range of

play16:18

devices that will cover every need and

play16:21

every price point with plenty of

play16:22

customization options and honestly

play16:24

they're all I use these days I run the

play16:26

channel on one of their laptops I do all

play16:28

my game gaming on one of their desktops

play16:30

they're just really really good and I

play16:32

haven't felt the need to even look at a

play16:34

computer that comes with Windows in the

play16:36

past 5 years so if you need a new

play16:39

computer you plan to run Linux on it and

play16:41

you want to support a company that

play16:43

actually contributes to Linux click the

play16:45

link in the description below and check

play16:47

out tuxedo computers they're really

play16:49

really good okay so thanks for watching

play16:51
