Na, nothing. Did an update today. Nothing bad happened at al, Because why would it?
It doesn’t. It will require you to reboot for every god-damned line of code that has changed.
Firefox kept crashing because of explicit sync. Nothing new for an nvidia user such as myself. Still never going back to xorg.
The new nvidia driver has explicit sync, wayland perfect for me since I updated it a week or so ago.
Thanks, I wish the same for you friend! I use arch so they’re pretty fast at fixing stuff. Yesterday they pushed an update that minimized the crashing but it’ll probably be totally fixed by today or tomorrow unless it’s a driver bug.
I was a terrible citizen and ignored the problem instead of reporting the bug. I just wanted to get some coding done so I just clicked the restart Firefox button over and over. That minor fix did wonders though! It only crashed two more times to my recollection.
Set MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 before starting Firefox and it doesn’t crash anymore
God, I love Read-only Friday where nothing bad ever happens before the weekend.
Speak for yourself. I am preparing for a high school camp on Monday and all our sound system isn’t working. Stupid proprietary crappy sound boards.
Just another boring day on Linux huh
You can get notified when they make progress on *BSD Derivatives
Guess you chose the right platform to run to,
I’ve found it funny how many people think they need to defend windows by saying " this could’ve happened to Linux too!!"
Okay, sure. Yeah you’re right about Linux being just as insecure as windows too 😉
Something similar did happen on Linux clients with CrowdStrike installed not too long ago lol
Sounds a bit like its a bad idea to install CrowdStrike regardless of the system 🙃
checkbox compliance – companies are required to have something in place that checks the box so they can pass the audit
To those many Linux users who took a look at their circumstances and said “I definitely need antivirus software!”
CrowdStrike does more than anti-virus and yes enterprise Linux installations need a lot of security controls that average Linux users don’t need.
I think people are missing the point here. The biggest problem was not that the update was bricking the machines, that could’ve happened to Linux/macOS/BSD etc. The problem is that the solution to the problem is to MANUALLY access the machine, get into safe mode and type some commands. This is insane. And you should be able to EASILY disable automatic updates for apps like that on Windows Server.
Nothing much, just getting far fewer client emails for some reason…
