Untitled Linux Show (Audio‪)‬ TWiT

Nvidia continues to amaze, Thunderbird is getting rusty, and Proton is about to go 9.0. Then there's a Flathub redesign, a shiny new QEMU release, and maybe the year of Linux in the car. For tips we have awk, the number and string wrangling do-all tool, more spring cleaning with dpkg, how to get tmux set up just right on a new install, and ydiff for much better diff highlighting.

This week the crew starts by looking at a KDE throw-back distro, then followed that up with a bunch of April Fools news, and a few April first stories that check out. FFMPEG puches out version 7, LXC mints 6.0 LTS, and EEVDF is about feature complete. Then the XZ SSH backdoor gets an update, and that conversation turns a bit philisophical regarding how nice Open Source should really be. For tips we have the awesome selfhosted list, vim, xz --version and zstd, and then some xfs tools for resizing a partition. See the show notes at https://bit.ly/4aqmu5a and we hope to see you next time!

The big news is the SSH backdoor, introduced by a mal-maintainer of the xz project. The rest of the news is happier, with coverage of FlyOS, Intel finally planning to move away from family 6, and Blender minting a new release. There's a compellng alternative to Broadcom's VMWare, Canonical is toying with x86_64-v3, and The Linux Foundation has forked Redis as Valkey. For tips, we have ladder for your bash gaming obsession, lvchange and file for dealing with logical volume filesystems, three different ways to count directories, with three different results, and gdu, the Go alternative to ncdu.
