I've seen a few app maintainers lately mentioning that bleeding edge libraries are required and that distro X in version Y isn't supported.
This is why you should have a Flatpak manifest in your repository; not just on Flathub.
It lets contributors easily build and test the development version without having to worry about the host.
Upgrading or downgrading your OS shouldn't stop anyone from working on your app.
Friends of energy efficiency - the Light Video 0.1.0 #Flathub update is out, build with #gtk4 4.14 and #GStreamer 1.24.1.
This should be the first app targeting the #linux / FDO desktop enabling Wayland video offloading (think zero-copy playback) by default. In many cases (actually more than I expected) this can improve battery lifetime - and on low-end devices even playback performance - significantly.

Someone in the IT department of my bank (Komerční banka) is acting smarter than they should be.
When I tried to log in to the Internet banking, I got a message saying that "OS Linux is no longer secure" and recommending that I use an up-to-date OS, e.g. Windows 11.
I thought we were past these times. 🤦
Time to let the cat out of the bag.
I've been working on a new app to use your #Linux phones and tablets as secondary wireless "side displays" (not mirrors). This is based on #GStreamer, x264, #Mutter APIs, and low-latency UDP streaming, and will be designed to work on both ARM and Intel, regardless of hardware acceleration support. (Testing on a #librem5)
This is still at an early stage, and will take some time to become usable. Thoughts and feedback?

Dear #Linux friends. How do you talk about new versions of DEs to non-Linux friends?
Like #Gnome 46 has been released and you want to tell someone how much better their Linux experience will be now if they try, or there's a specific feature you feel they would appreciate that you want to tell them about. Or something. How do you talk about it?
"Gnome is, like, this way for Linux to look and feel and now it's got this new..." is reeeal clunky. Not sure you'll win anybody over like that, or?
Workbench 46 is out! 🛠️

Actually it was a couple of hours ago before GNOME 46 but I didn't want to steal the show 😎
Here are the highlights 💡
Inline diagnostics for #Rust and #Python
New Library demos: 📚
"Snapshot" to demonstrate one of GTK4 coolest feature.
"Dialog" and "Message Dialogs" to demonstrate libadwaita 1.5 new responsive dialogs.
26 demos ported to Python
5 demos ported to Vala

You know it's interesting that I think @thunderbird is probably the one piece of software I have been using since Windows XP as a kid and still use it to this day. I even pay $10/year for a plugin to make Thunderbird work with my Office365 I use for my content creation so I can use it seamlessly on #Linux for contacts, calendar, and mail integration.
Despite all the email providers I have hopped between I still have used Thunderbird since around 2005 or 2006 #infosec #cybersecurity #opensource

:paru: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory<br>
Many folks on the internet suggest fixing this by sym linking an older version of
libalpm
, but a better solution is to compile the latest version of paru

I put together recording setup guide for Fedora Linux using OBS Studio. Only GUI, not messing with config files.

Yeah switching to a #linux based system is a huge improvement if talking about #privacy. Today most of the software is easily accessible on Linux and works great. Even if there's no dedicated #linux version there are still something like Wine or awesome free and open source alternatives. I can recommend #debian and #popos.
For messaging apps I love #signalmessenger and I can also recommend Session.
For browser as well as a search engine I'd pick Brave.
Librewolf is also great

So @gnome is removing the x11 session, leaving just the Wayland one.
If this goes out before Orca, the GNOME screen reader, is fixed to work on Wayland, it will mean that people who rely on screen readers will have no way to use one on GNOME. And thus on the major Linux distributions.
So I’m hoping the plan is that this change will not land until GNOME has a working screen reader.
