ULS 258: Leans the Wrong Way - Xorg, X86box, & X-ing AI

About this episode

The episode discusses various Linux-related topics including AI, vulnerabilities in Xorg, and improvements in gaming on Linux.

Flathub maintainers are sick of AI, Windows broke Jeff's laptop, and Xorg has even more vulnerabilities. Cloudflare covers in glorious detail a bug where Idle wasn't idle, Ardour gets even better with 9.7, and Valve is continuing to improve the gaming on Linux experience. Windows adds rust coreutils, and Ubuntu is looking to the future. For tips, we have Croft, a tui clone of vscode; cachy-chroot, an easier way to rescue your system; mv, the simple command to move files; and resolvectl, the best tool for peering into systemd-resolved.
