🐧GNU Linux-libre 6.14-gnu Deals With New Firmware Blobs From AMDXDNA & Other Drivers
@phoronix

「 Building off yesterday's Linux 6.14 release, the GNU Linux-libre 6.14-gnu downstream is now available for this flavor of the Linux kernel that strips out support for hardware/drivers depending upon non-open-source firmware/microcode as well as the ability to load proprietary kernel modules and other tainted code 」

GNU Linux-libre 6.14 is out, with new artwork showing me zapping away proprietary blobs to keep your kernel squeaky clean because your system deserves nothing less! Run free, compute with confidence that no sneaky binary blobs hitched a ride, and let's keep the world libre! Download, upgrade, and enjoy a fully free kernel. No blobs, no worries! 🚫👻🎵 Who you gonna call? Blob Busters! 🚫👻🎵 fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linu #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #GNU #Linux #LinuxLibre

Vou, finalmente, converter uma primeira máquina virtual no centro de dados da universidade de #GNU/Linux para GNU/Linux-libre! :gnu:

Pretendo seguir a ótima dica postada numa #TerSoftware por um dos próprios autores do projeto, @lxo@snac.lx.oliva.nom.br, para aproveitar os pacotes .deb (para #Debian e derivados) já disponibilizados com o kernel Linux-libre compilado para uso geral para diversas arquiteturas:

A parte mais "difícil" parece ser decidir: linux-libre-lts ou o convencional... 😅

phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.43.0
(Idk how about you but I'm not that excited for desktop Linux updates, or most mobile updates, but I'm always excited for Phosh updates because there's some update in each version which makes my experience better (currently waiting for the next postmarketOS update to get Bluetooth quick setting status page so I don't need to open settings to connect my headset each time. The built-in screenshot feature is pretty weird, idk why someone would prefer saving screenshots to clipboard instead of as a permanent file, currently I use GNOME Screenshot because of this, even if it's not fully mobile friendly, will probably ditch it if I get Phosh 0.43.0))
