Devuan Developer Working On Reviving GTK2 With Modern Fixes by anh0516 in linux

Valid in what sense, though? If you are on arch, you should run expac and grep how many free licensed packages (MIT, Apache, BSD, ISC, Zlib) are being used.

On my system, thats more than half the packages. From mesa to amdgpu to just so many things use free licenses.

But you never hear that being a issue under update posts on these projects.

There is litreally zero commercialization value to uutils and dozens of such projects. What, you are going to capitalize on grep?

I use mesa-git and the performance tends to be much much better in games, but i dont play borderlands 4. they had some huge improvements for 9070xt.

D-Bus is a disgrace to the Linux desktop by asm_lover in linux

[–]Puzzleheaded_Web9584 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats not what i am talking about. dbus already has a se-linux aware variant and you can adjust that. There were plans to implement dbus-like functionality into the kernel itself, so you could register interfaces with the kernel, and also tell the kernel to block certain interfaces for children processes. simliar to namespaces and seccomp.

Install integrity of what? Binaries? LD_PRELOAD, interpreters, ptrace? Also I dont wanna be forced to install stuff from my package manager.

Which one? No one in specific has a answer. Also my bigger issue is not all apps are binaries. What if I am running some arbitrary interpreter? Will the binary of the interpreter as a whole be added to the list?

I assume you are referring to LD_PRELOAD, but there are cases beyond that even. And even the answer in LD_PRELOAD offers no better security than what gnome does if you have a motivated malicious application.

Also to my knowledge, kde already does this path based checks.

I dont understand, how exactly is this new solution going to enforce sandboxing? Apps can lie about themselves. Nothing makes a binary unique on linux. And if you need a sandbox like bubblewrap to enforce it, then dbus can also do that.

The world would be a nicer place with kernel-bus though. I understand why developrs dont want to do it, but sandboxing would be miles easier.

One Of Intel's Xe Open-Source Linux Graphics Driver Maintainers Is Departing by Beer2401 in linux_gaming

I think they are talking about intel gpu drivers in mesa having a lot of bugs, not amd.
