• PixieFail: Nine Vulnerabilities UEFI Implementations

  > is there any motherboards out there for AMD64/X86_64 that comes without UEFI/BIOS? Your computer needs UEFI/BIOS for hardware initialization. There is a open implementation tho, see https://libreboot.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Just about every Windows/Linux device vulnerable to new LogoFAIL firmware attack

  UEFI is just another M$ abomination 8-( In this specific vulnerability, I wonder how possible it is to modify that boot logo remotely? Wouldn't exploiting this vuln require local access? As in all things, open firmware is the way to go: https://www.linuxboot.org/ https://libreboot.org/ https://www.coreboot.org/users.html. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• GNU Boot sent a cease and desist to Libreboot

  There was the spat of drama in 2016, and the view of "always in the middle of drama" is IMO confirmation bias since then. Today's drama is part of larger culture wars going on in the community: - The pro-RMS vs anti-RMS thing going on since RMS's removal from the FSF in 2019, much amplified by his reinstatement in 2021 (the latter of which lead to most of the FSF staff walking out). Is RMS still fit to lead the... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Returning my ReMarkable 2

  I don't own a cell phone and my computer is entirely free, its BIOS replaced with libreboot running Trisquel, a 100% free-software operating system. Others can do this, too, if they really want the freedom. It is not hard, nor does it require expertise. It only requires the will to do it. Source: 11 months ago

• Yozora: Linux Configurator

  At some point all of us wanted to have a fully customized and flexible Linux configuration, not having a pre-configured system like Manjaro for example. There must be people out there, who are not a big fans of DE (Desktop Environments). Sure I also got into the arch world with Plasma's KDE, but after a while, it become dull, so that's when I started getting into configuring my setup, but when I had to do it every... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• what machines have you used for development, and what do you prefer?

  I use MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid-2014) with Manjaro as OS using i3 as a window manager. It isn't perfect, but I'm thrilled with it. I have been a Mac OS user for the last 15 years and wouldn't change what I have now for a Mac OS because I don't need more than what I'm using for development. Source: 10 months ago

• Can I rigg a Chromebook to install Linux on it? Not the virtual Linux they have an option for, I want to replace Chrome OS entirely with Linux.

  At any rate, you can try Breath, Crouton, Manjaro... Those are three of the distros people have found success with. It all boils down to the specific hardware involved... Which we know nothing about since you kept that to yourself. Source: 11 months ago

• [root@archlinux ~]# after login

  But if you were expecting to be able to complete the install and have a GUI available, you might be better off starting with something like Manjaro: Https://manjaro.org. Source: 11 months ago
