Fellow #Linux, #KDE #Plasma, and #Solus users, I was trying to play #Jackbox games on #Steam but I'm getting a lot of screen flickering. I tried tweaking the #Proton a bit, but there are a lot of options. Anyone else deal with anything like this?

Na, gaaanz toll: Solus Linux zeigte mir vorhin vorhandene Aktualisierungen an, darunter "sicherheitskritische". Die habe ich gestartet. Währenddessen drehte der Lüfter mal wieder im Dauerbetrieb und das Tuxedo-Notebook schaltete sich ab. Gerade startete ich das Notebook neu. Ergebnis: Es bleibt im Boot-Screen, mit dem Tuxedo-Logo stehen, bootet nicht mehr in Solus. Mehrmals neu gestartet, keine Veränderung. Edit: Seltsamerweise höre ich, wie es beim Booten versucht, auf die interne SSD zuzugreifen (?), das ist mir vorher noch nie aufgefallen. Was mach ich 'n jetzt? Bitte um Hilfe! /o\ #Linux #Solus #FediHilfe #Followerpower

This week's Linux and FOSS news: LINUX NEWS Manjaro lead dev plans to implement age verification, other team members don't: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/will-manjaro-implement-age-verification/186816 (Aragorn for Manjaro lead! lol) Solus says they don't have plans to implement anything, but aren't sure if the laws affect them, they are monitoring the situation: https://getsol.us/2026/04/solus-and-age-verification/ Vipnix (a Gentoo > Funtoo > Macaroni-based, Systemd-free distro) rejects implementing age verification, excludes Brazil (their own country!) and California: https://vipnix.com.br/site/livecd-vipnix/ https://github.com/BryanLunduke/DoesItAgeVerify/pull/73 (They are pretty brave that despite being a Brazilian company, they decided not to comply, respect to them. Idk if I would personally trust them though, because they include some Google and Cloudflare stuff in their website, but their stance is respectable regardless) Mobian will do whatever upstream Debian does: https://social.linux.pizza/@fosserytech/116370129667947301 I made an age attestation/verification tracker to track which FOSS OSes (Linux, BSD, others) comply with the laws, which oppose: https://odysee.com/@fossery-tech:4/Linux-BSD-age-attestation-verification-tracker:7 Debian's APT 3.2 Released with History, Undo, Redo, and Rollback Support: https://9to5linux.com/debians-apt-3-2-released-with-history-undo-redo-and-rollback-support You can now enable Ubuntu Pro from the OS setup tool: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/04/ubuntu-pro-initial-setup-tool Bazzite Linux gets some major upgrades for the April 2026 Update: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/04/bazzite-linux-gets-some-major-upgrades-for-the-april-2026-update/ Trisquel GNU/Linux 12.0 LTS Released with GNU Linux-Libre 6.8 Kernel, MATE 1.26: https://9to5linux.com/trisquel-gnu-linux-12-0-lts-released-with-gnu-linux-libre-6-8-kernel-mate-1-26 Deepin 25.1 launches with Linux 6.18, UOS AI upgrades, and new immutable system features: https://alternativeto.net/news/2026/4/deepin-25-1-launches-with-linux-6-18-uos-ai-upgrades-and-new-immutable-system-features/ TrueNAS 26 Beta Brings Linux 6.18 LTS + OpenZFS 2.4 Combination For NAS Devices: https://www.phoronix.com/news/TrueNAS-26-Beta GParted Live 1.8.1-3 Released with Linux Kernel 6.19.10 and GParted 1.8.1: https://9to5linux.com/gparted-live-1-8-1-3-released-with-linux-kernel-6-19-10-and-gparted-1-8-1 (more Linux and FOSS news in comments) #WeeklyNews #News #Linux #LinuxNews #AgeVerification #Manjaro #Solus #Vipnix #Mobian #AgeAttestation #Debian #APT #Ubuntu #Bazzite #Trisquel #TrisquelGNUlinux #Deepin #TrueNAS #TrueNAS26 #GParted #GPartedLive #NAS #LinuxDistro #DistroRelease #FosseryTech
