Hope today is a great day for all.

KDE discontinues Plasma LTS releases, reduces feature update to 2 in a year instead of 3, offers extended bug-fix support period:
https://news.itsfoss.com/kde-plasma-lts-discontinued/
(Well done, KDE! In my experience, the biggest issue with Plasma has always been the amount of annoying bugs and crashes, which kind of negated the experience for me, despite the cool extra features and the extensive customization options. However, this new strategy might pay off in the long term, and make Plasma a more stable experience.)

Oh no, Linux kernel 6.9 is chaotically adding 16 extra bytes to the stack! 😱 Quick, blame Fred—whoever he is—for this unspeakable horror. 📉 Ubuntu 24.04 users can now enjoy an unparalleled #debugging experience as they discover the joy of dealing with "garbage" data. 🎉

OBS project threatens Fedora with legal action because the 3rd-party OBS Studio package in the Fedora Flatpak repo is broken, poorly maintained, users report issues to OBS instead of Fedora project because they think it's the official package, the Fedora project refused to do anything about it:
https://news.itsfoss.com/obs-studio-fedora-feud/
(This whole software distribution thing is pretty broken on Linux in general, it isn't just an issue the OBS Flatpak on Fedora. There should be some indication for the users if a package isn't maintained by the original devs, e.g. including "unofficial" in the package name. Flathub's approach to verify package maintainers is also pretty good approach. Of course this would be hard to implement in the whole Linux platform because of its fragmented nature but would be nice towards the devs of programs if they wouldn't need to deal with packaging issues they can do nothing about.)

Looking for a little help. A few weeks ago there was a post from a #Laptop builder that was security focused. Physical kill switches and what-not. I think they're based out of #germany ? Offering really good specs and a wide variety of #Linux OS such as #kubuntu , #linuxmint , #Ubuntu2404 and many others. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks to all that boosted and replied! I think I was looking for @tuxedocomputers

Ubuntu 24.04.2 Noble Numbat is Progressing

Ubuntu 24.04 Noble Numbat was released on April 25th, 2024, to give you the latest LTS version of Ubuntu, packed with awesome features and improved desktop user experience. Since then, the first point release of the LTS versions was released to bring more bug fixes and to bring general improvements to maximize your productivity.

The second point release of Ubuntu 24.04 Noble Numbat according to the status tracking live document has seen some progress, including backport bugs and other tracking bugs. Currently, it says that the second point release is in progress at this time, with the release of 24.04.2 slated to be released on February 13th, 2025.

The document also has links to both the outstanding bugs that may or may not delay the release of the point release and the release checklist that makes sure that the release is to be out at the highest quality the Ubuntu team expects.

• Ubuntu 24.04.2 outstanding bugs
• Ubuntu 24.04.2 release checklist

Today, we’ve seen bugs that track the release status, with 4 new bugs that are yet to be worked on, 4 confirmed, 2 in progress, 8 fix committed, and 1 fix released. The most prominent ones include:

• [SRU] tracking bug for plasma LTS 5.27.12 bugfix updates for Noble
• Backport packages for 24.04.2 HWE stack
• Update cd-boot-images-* for Noble 24.04.2
• Merge apache2 from Debian unstable for oracular
• noble/linux: 6.8.0-53.55 -proposed tracker
• noble/linux-lowlatency: 6.8.0-53.55.2 -proposed tracker

Alongside the bugs, we’ve seen two current blockers for this release:

• Kubuntu and Ubuntu Studio are blocked by Bug #2093184.
• Raspberry Pi 500 support is blocked by Bug #2092216.

This means that yesterday, the appropriate Ubuntu teams, including the SRU team, have started working on this point release of Ubuntu to meet the expected deadline of February 13th. Should there be any delay planned, we’ll update you.

Btw: To update to the latest version of nvim on ubuntu24.04 I had to remove it with apt and install it with brew because latest version in apt was 0.9.something?
Why is that?
Or did I do something wrong? #linux #ubuntu2404

Оновив систему до нової версії (Ubuntu 24.04.01). Довелось посовати розділи на диску, почистити від великих завих файлів (viber_downloads, snaps та інші), зробити копію домашніх тек, і нарешті перевстановити. Звичайне оновлення все поломало і система не хотіла завантажуватись. Взнав i використовував efibootmgr -v, baobab, rsync, gparted, boot-repair Досліджував BIOS UEFI settings (дуже цікаво, що нічого незрозуміло).

Гарний форум https://discourse.ubuntu.com, зареєструвався і пробував вирішити там проблему;

Враження від системи позитивні. Побачив новий магазин застосунків, нову програму для встановлення системи (мені вони цікаві так як написані на Flutter, це те на чому пишуть мобільні застосунки)

Since then, the first point release of the LTS versions was released to bring more bug fixes and to bring general improvements to maximize your productivity.

Today, we’ve spotted the second point release of Ubuntu 24.04 Noble Numbat according to the status tracking live document. Currently, it says that the second point release is in progress at this time, with the release of 24.04.2 slated to be released on February 13th, 2025.

Since the Discourse status thread was created, the checklist currently lists the status thread task to be done, along with a list of to-dos that are expected to be done prior to the final release, which is expected to be on February 13th, 2025.

Should there be any blocking bugs, the Ubuntu release team may decide to delay the release, but we hope that there will be no such bugs that cause the delay.
