Transcripts

play00:00

hey everyone and welcome to this week's

play00:02

edition of the Linux and open- Source

play00:04

news and this time we have Linux Mint

play00:07

disabling any non-official flatback app

play00:11

which does come with a few problems

play00:13

we've got the new windows recall feature

play00:15

already being hacked and Microsoft

play00:17

deciding that it won't ship it by

play00:19

default or at least it will be turned

play00:21

off by default due to all that backlash

play00:24

we also have KDE asking you for feedback

play00:27

on the goals they should work on for the

play00:29

next 2 years and we have Linux passing

play00:32

the 2% market share on Steam and a bunch

play00:35

of other things and we also have the

play00:37

usual segue to our sponsor this video is

play00:40

sponsored by protonvpn the encrypted and

play00:43

private VPN from the makers of proton

play00:46

mail protonvpn lets you access anything

play00:49

on the internet while bypassing

play00:51

censorship and region locking by

play00:53

connecting to a server anywhere in the

play00:55

world so you can stream any content you

play00:58

like from any service without resp

play00:59

restrictions or access parts of the

play01:02

internet your country doesn't want you

play01:03

to have access to protonvpn implements

play01:06

both VPN accelerators to keep your

play01:08

browsing really fast and netshield which

play01:11

will block ads malware and trackers on

play01:14

top of that proton VPN doesn't keep any

play01:16

logs meaning they don't record your

play01:18

browsing activity at all and they can't

play01:20

disclose it to anyone it can even

play01:22

integrate with the tour Network and it

play01:24

has apps for Windows Mac OS Linux

play01:27

Android and iOS plus browser extensions

play01:31

and on top of that they keep adding more

play01:33

and more available servers so things

play01:35

stay fast for everyone they already

play01:37

added more than 2,000 servers this year

play01:40

only and they passed the 5100 server

play01:43

Mark already protonvpn is free and if

play01:46

you want even faster speeds and more

play01:48

features you can upgrade to a paid plan

play01:50

as always I left the link in the

play01:52

description below so you can check out

play01:54

protonvpn so Linux Mint is making some

play01:57

moves on their software store and repost

play02:00

first they've implemented a bit of

play02:01

anonymous tracking on the repost to see

play02:04

where the bottlenecks are so everything

play02:06

is as fast as can be but more

play02:08

importantly they have improved their

play02:10

software manager a lot it should now

play02:12

load much faster and they've disabled

play02:15

unverified flat packs in that store

play02:18

meaning that in your Searchers you will

play02:20

not see anything that hasn't been

play02:22

published by the official developers

play02:24

unless you take a trip to the settings

play02:26

and enable that manually you will get a

play02:28

little warning telling knew that these

play02:30

apps aren't official and could be

play02:32

maintained by anyone even when enabled

play02:35

unverified flatbacks will have a red

play02:37

warning under the app name and they

play02:39

won't display any reviews and they won't

play02:41

have a score now as per their move away

play02:44

from gnome apps to build their own gtk

play02:47

versions they're apparently talking with

play02:49

a lot of involved parties including

play02:51

gnome developers and they're saying

play02:53

everything is very constructive even

play02:55

though they haven't reached any big

play02:57

decision on how to proceed just yet so

play02:59

so it's really cool to see that they're

play03:01

talking with gtk or gnome developers and

play03:03

that they're just aiming to do this the

play03:05

right way instead of just duplicating

play03:08

work all over again now as for the

play03:10

unofficial flatbacks why not hide them

play03:13

by default but also if you decide to

play03:15

display them yourselves you probably

play03:17

should leave the reviews and the scores

play03:19

because at least it lets you know if

play03:21

this specific application is well

play03:23

maintained wellb built and trustworthy

play03:25

judging from what other people said uh

play03:27

if you don't even have those reviews

play03:29

then you're just just installing things

play03:30

completely blindly and that's not great

play03:32

also apps from the repos are also not

play03:35

official and not maintained by their

play03:37

original developers so should they have

play03:39

the same warnings and limitations now

play03:42

someone already hacked recall windows's

play03:45

new horrendous feature that will take

play03:47

screenshots of your screen regularly and

play03:50

pass them to an AI so you can find stuff

play03:52

you've done in the past the tool that

play03:54

allows for this hack called Total Recall

play03:57

can pull everything that recall recorded

play03:59

because apparently the database is not

play04:02

encrypted and available in plain text

play04:05

now the hacker said recall is basically

play04:07

you built- in Trojan and they shared the

play04:09

tool publicly to incite Microsoft to fix

play04:12

that feature before they release it to

play04:14

everyone Total Recall can automatically

play04:17

find where the database of screenshots

play04:19

is located and then copy it while it

play04:22

passes its content and it can even

play04:24

extract data from a set time range and

play04:27

it does so in 2 seconds for a day worth

play04:30

of screenshots you can even search for

play04:32

specific terms in the database to find

play04:35

anything the user might have done in any

play04:37

app no matter how protected encrypted or

play04:40

secure this app is because it's a

play04:42

screenshot it has all the info and with

play04:45

all that negative press and the

play04:47

potential risks Microsoft even decided

play04:50

they would not enable the feature by

play04:52

default you will have to enable it

play04:54

yourself during your computer setup

play04:56

process when buying what they call a

play04:58

copilot plus p PC and it will require

play05:01

Windows hello this being the biometric

play05:03

authentication feature for either face

play05:05

or fingerprint unlock with this they

play05:08

will also Implement just in time

play05:09

decryption to make sure the screenshots

play05:11

cannot be viewed if the user doesn't

play05:14

authenticate still I would not enable

play05:17

this feature if at any point you buy

play05:19

what they call an aipc because right now

play05:22

Microsoft says they do not send anything

play05:25

to the cloud but they never said they

play05:27

wouldn't send any conclusions or AI

play05:30

training data generated from the

play05:32

screenshots and honestly we know Windows

play05:35

is a moving Target it will change

play05:37

settings for you without your input it

play05:39

will change things from under you so

play05:42

yeah don't enable something that takes

play05:44

screenshot of your desktop all the time

play05:45

it's just nonsense now KY is asking you

play05:49

and all the community to help them

play05:51

Define their goals for the next two

play05:53

years they created a board where you can

play05:56

open a ticket to explain your idea

play05:58

active KY contributors will then analyze

play06:00

every ticket ask questions to refine the

play06:03

goals and generally just tidy things up

play06:05

and then they will vote on which goals

play06:07

they want to pursue and those goals will

play06:09

be announced at Academy in early

play06:11

September this process is open to non-kd

play06:15

contributors and also to non developers

play06:17

although the person submitting the goal

play06:19

is expected to Rally people around it to

play06:23

ensure it can get done you have until

play06:25

July the 5th to submit your goals there

play06:27

are already a few in there like adding

play06:30

better rust and Swift support improving

play06:32

KD's user documentation reworking the

play06:35

workspace and tiling window management

play06:37

features or having better integration

play06:39

with mobile devices so if you have a

play06:42

good idea for KD let them know about it

play06:44

it can be a small feature or a giant

play06:47

let's rewrite this entire thing goal and

play06:50

you don't even have to code things

play06:51

yourself although you will have to be

play06:53

involved you cannot just drop the

play06:54

feature and expect someone else to do it

play06:56

for you you will have to Rally your team

play06:59

and support that goal and make sure it

play07:01

happens now there are some interesting

play07:03

updates for Elementary OS 8 first they

play07:06

will let you choose between X11 or

play07:08

Wayland in the lock screen uh they had

play07:10

said they would move to Wayland by

play07:12

default but they hadn't really talked

play07:14

about the future of X11 at all so it's

play07:16

good to know that they will still offer

play07:18

the option the doc will also gain the

play07:20

ability to launch ABS directly by

play07:23

pressing super plus a number like most

play07:25

other docks out there the system

play07:27

settings also received more work work

play07:29

and judging from the screenshots they

play07:31

look pretty nice and pretty legible like

play07:34

gnome settings but more visual with like

play07:36

higher quality icons and just more

play07:39

visual flare they also receed the page

play07:41

to select your additional drivers like

play07:43

NVIDIA drivers for example so these

play07:45

things are no longer located in the App

play07:48

Center meaning that the app center will

play07:50

no longer handle anything other than

play07:53

flat packs because it doesn't offer apps

play07:55

or packages from aun's repos and more

play07:58

importantly El inventory OS will now

play08:00

offer flathub as a remote meaning you

play08:03

will actually get some applications to

play08:05

install out of the box instead of having

play08:07

to manually download a flatback ref file

play08:10

from flathub and install it manually to

play08:13

add the repo to your system as per the

play08:16

Elementary OS developer platform to make

play08:19

Elementary OS apps they released a

play08:21

version that os8 will use in their own

play08:23

flatback remote meaning developers can

play08:25

either start working on or start

play08:28

updating their application it is based

play08:30

on the gnome 46 platform and it includes

play08:33

all the things that makes Elementary OS

play08:35

apps Elementary OS apps with their

play08:37

stylesheet the granite widget library

play08:40

that is sort of lib advit but for

play08:42

Elementary OS and lib portal to work

play08:45

properly with system features so that's

play08:47

one big mistake in Elementary OS that is

play08:50

finally fixed previously you only had

play08:53

access to about a 100 Elementary OS apps

play08:56

in the app center after you installed

play08:58

your system and none of of those were

play09:00

apps you would actually require you had

play09:02

no office suite no choice of browsers

play09:04

none of the popular well-known

play09:06

applications didn't have stuff like

play09:08

that so finally this is fixed and I

play09:11

think it's a great decision from

play09:12

elementaryos to finally correct that big

play09:15

big usability problem now hopefully

play09:17

Elementary OS 8 releases not too late

play09:20

this year and I will definitely give it

play09:22

a shot on this exact Channel Thunderbird

play09:25

is also making good progress on a bunch

play09:28

of cool features the first one is

play09:30

exchange support it's now almost

play09:32

finished with the main workflow being

play09:34

implemented you can set up an account it

play09:37

can grab all your folders and messages

play09:39

it can display messages as well and they

play09:41

still have some work to do to make sure

play09:43

messages are properly sent and stored

play09:46

and then there will be a broader call

play09:48

for testing before things go out to

play09:50

everyone another highly requested

play09:52

feature will be support for the system

play09:54

tray on Linux for people who still use

play09:57

that thing this is apparently due to

play09:59

their using rust to build certain

play10:01

modules in Thunderbird I don't quite

play10:03

understand how this was a limitation

play10:05

because plenty of ABS that don't rely on

play10:07

Rust actually managed to have a system

play10:09

try icon but apparently it made things

play10:11

easier other things include letting you

play10:13

choose an accent Coler in the app

play10:16

hopefully it will integrate with the

play10:17

accent color portal as well they will

play10:20

add multi folder selection and folder

play10:22

compaction to save some space and for

play10:25

Windows users they will add native

play10:27

notification support as well and there's

play10:29

no two ways about it exchange support is

play10:32

definitely a big big plus for

play10:34

Thunderbird and it will allow more

play10:36

people to move away from Windows and to

play10:38

use Linux because Outlook will no longer

play10:41

be a mandatory application if your

play10:43

company uses exchange so pretty cool and

play10:46

let's conclude this with some gaming

play10:48

news first Nvidia users will get some

play10:51

good stuff in the kernel 6.1 the novo

play10:54

drivers which will also be used if you

play10:56

go with nvk as your vcon driver those

play10:59

will gain support for using the command

play11:01

line to pass options and interact with

play11:04

the GPU system processor firmware the

play11:06

thing that lets you control your Nvidia

play11:08

GPU things like changing the display

play11:11

brightness through the GPU or changing

play11:13

performance levels should thus be

play11:15

possible meaning that anyone at some

play11:17

point could develop a graphical tool

play11:19

that lets you manage your GPU properly

play11:22

at least for recent Nvidia gpus RTX 2000

play11:25

series and newer also desktop

play11:28

environment power profiles could

play11:30

Implement support for this if they

play11:32

detect an Nvidia GPU to automatically

play11:34

switch the performance profile of the

play11:36

GPU itself and so you would use less

play11:39

battery life or actually get the best

play11:41

performance when you're in high

play11:42

performance mode it would also give

play11:44

access to all of these options under

play11:46

whand because right now even with the

play11:49

proprietary NVIDIA drivers uh the tool

play11:51

Nvidia provides just doesn't have any of

play11:54

the options the X11 version has so yeah

play11:57

that's just great news all around

play11:59

and still on drivers there's a new

play12:01

Vulcan driver for Apple silicon Max

play12:04

which was really missing from the aahi

play12:06

experience it is called honey crisp with

play12:09

a K and it's apparently derived from nvk

play12:12

the open- source Nvidia Vulcan driver

play12:14

it's been started by aahi and Mesa

play12:17

developers although it hasn't been

play12:18

upstreamed yet because it's very early

play12:21

days the driver already conforms with

play12:23

Vulcan 1.3 but it does need a lot of

play12:26

work to support dxvk and vkd 3D at some

play12:30

point though this driver should let

play12:32

people run Steam games or just Windows

play12:34

games in General on Apple silicon

play12:36

devices running Linux using an x86

play12:39

emulator like fex which proved it was

play12:42

quite capable already now the reason

play12:45

they base this on nvk is that it has a

play12:47

lot of Vulcan code that isn't

play12:50

specifically tied to Nvidia and probably

play12:53

at some point that code will be moved

play12:54

into the common Vulcan runtime of Mesa

play12:57

that all drivers could take advantage of

play13:00

they still had a lot of work to do to

play13:02

remove Nvidia specific stuff and to

play13:04

rewrite stuff that is adapted to Apple

play13:07

silicon Graphics but it did give them a

play13:09

pretty big head start pretty fantastic

play13:12

work here even if you don't really game

play13:15

having access to the Vulcan back end of

play13:17

most ABS that rely on your GPU will be

play13:20

much more efficient than using their

play13:22

potential open GL back in which is as

play13:24

far as I understand it a way older and

play13:26

way less capable API and finally Linux

play13:30

passed the 2% market share on Steam and

play13:33

by a big margin it's now at

play13:36

2.32% this growth is fueled by your loss

play13:39

of market share for Windows even though

play13:41

it still had more than 96% Mac OS also

play13:45

progressed a little bit but it stays

play13:47

almost a full point under linux's market

play13:50

share of course this might not last for

play13:52

long steam market share tends to

play13:54

fluctuate wildly as more or less devices

play13:57

from China are counted each month month

play13:59

which mostly run Windows and can either

play14:01

boost windows's market share or make it

play14:03

drop in terms of dis Ros this market

play14:06

share is fueled by the steam Deck with

play14:08

Steam OS grabbing 45% of linux's market

play14:12

share Arch is almost 8% and

play14:14

interestingly the steam flatback is 6%

play14:17

now let's be honest it's still insanely

play14:20

small in terms of market share we are

play14:22

the second biggest PC gaming platform

play14:25

but that doesn't mean much when the

play14:27

first one has 96 % market share still

play14:30

more market share and More Steam decks

play14:32

sold mean developers will take more of

play14:34

an interest to support at least the

play14:36

steam deck and proton and does to

play14:38

support Linux in general now we only

play14:41

need to solve the anti-cheat issue

play14:43

hopefully valve some has something uh in

play14:46

their boxes somewhere or a developer

play14:48

trying to incite other game developers

play14:50

to enable support for antie not sure

play14:53

this is still the major issue that we

play14:54

need to solve hopefully they can do

play14:56

something about it and hopefully you can

play14:58

take take a look at our sponsor tuxedo

play15:00

computers they make computers that ship

play15:03

with Linux pre-installed which is very

play15:05

interesting because it means that the

play15:07

device will just work perfectly under

play15:09

Linux you can either pick from a

play15:10

selection of popular disos or you can

play15:13

install your own and they offer repos to

play15:15

get access to a few tweaks here and

play15:17

there if those changes haven't been

play15:18

upstreamed just yet they have a big

play15:21

range of devices that should cover every

play15:23

price point and every need from Office

play15:25

laptops all the way up to Giant

play15:27

workstations Gam laptops gaming Towers I

play15:30

only use their computers these days my

play15:32

channel runs on one of their laptops the

play15:35

Infiniti Book Pro 16 and all my gaming

play15:37

is done on a tuxedo Cube which is one of

play15:40

their medium to small form factor PCS

play15:43

you can open all the laptops repair them

play15:45

upgrade them and you have a big choice

play15:47

of components for any of these devices

play15:49

so if you need a new computer you want

play15:51

to run Linux on it and you want to

play15:53

support a company that actually supports

play15:56

Linux and develops drivers click the

play15:58

link in the description below and get

play16:00

yourself a tuxedo PC they're really good

play16:03

okay so thanks everyone for watching the

play16:04

video I hope you enjoyed it if you did

play16:06

don't hesitate to like to subscribe to

play16:08

play16:16

of cool perks so thanks for watching

play16:19

there won't be any news video next week

play16:21

because I will be on holidays uh but

play16:23
