  • Implementing Factory Reset Functionality for KDE Linux
I have asked for this for AGES. This should just be standard in every Linux! I shouldn't need to reach for a separate usb flashdrive to fix things! It's not like the concept is new - PopOS has been doing it for ages, they even have a whole GUI to make sure the recovery drive uses the most up-to-date ISO.

I just want a nice GUI to soft reset settings and packages without touching the rest of my files, with an option for a more thorough factory reset, and ideally could maybe work as a recovery environment but we can talk about improvements after the basics been implemented.

It still frustrates me that immutable OS would have all these fancy protections and not have, like, the most simple fallback option that every other OS have, of which has been implemented on Linux on a non-immutable place, despite immutable OS theoretically already having an entire image of the system.

Popular emulator Cemu was recently compromised with malware in Linux downloads

I actually found this out from Emudeck Discord which linked to https://rentry.org/cemu-security-psa [External Link] to see if you have a version which is impacted.

Discord is finally less of a nuisance to update on Linux

Honestly? I'm over it. I do try to be there, and try to make it so that I contribute to the amount of users Matrix, Fluxer, and Stoat/Revolt.

But it's, like, whatever. I'm using these things to talk to people. I'll be wherever the people I want to talk to are.

I will say that it actually IS annoying to listen to people who are pushing for alternatives act like most of us, fellow Linux users, haven't tried. A lot of us have, and we are open to moving if things if it gets better... But it's just not good enough yet, for one reason or another.

(I am very looking forward to Fluxer app for mobile tho, that's definitely a major reason why I haven't opened the GOL Fluxer server as of late)

Also, someone commented about Discord looking at processes. Here's the thing: if I open the Discord app, instead of a tab on my browser, it's because I do want to show what I'm doing to my friends. You might not be into that, but I like to show what I'm playing/watching because it can be a fun conversation.

Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash

Quoting: devlandLutris forces you to configure each game from scratch while bottles gives you one prefix aka bottle in which you can run things however you want.
Uh, no? I myself just uses the same prefix (and the same system Proton CachyOS) for Lutris, Heroic, and Faugus.

If I need to, I am able to make them use different prefixes, of course. Which, in a btrfs system, is honestly just pure positive - I get to enjoy different games that may need different protonfixes, and it doesn't take much space on my system.

Them being all UMU based makes it easier for me, actually. All of Bottles' own middleman to work around the "legacy tools" meant they're actually got blindsided when everyone adopted UMU (which is also where non-Valve protonfixes are centralized). I do have Bottles installed, but Faugus takes care of most of my needs with Lutris being there for the ones I want to add to Steam, and Heroic there for GOG/Epic.

Does Bazzite and CachyOS not get named labels on Steam's Survey?

A truly Yo Dawg moment as Steam running through Steam RT can run games through Steam RT.

Hopefully we can lay down the multilib requirement soon.

Didn't know about WiVRn. Well, I guess Meta Quest 3/3S is back on the table now as an option for use as a cheap XR screen.

Sounds like more Slopfield from Microslop-owned Bethesda (who recently proudly featured themselves on Nvidia DLSS5 slop showcase).

Manjaro Linux looks like it's in trouble with the release of the "Manjaro 2.0 Manifesto"
16 Mar 2026 at 12:26 pm UTC Likes: 2

My experience with Manjaro had been pleasant back then - there were some issues with libcrypto migration and some updates had had some issues, but never something more than a quick snapshot rollback + reupdate wouldn't fix (well, aside for an issue after 8 month of not upgrading as my PC was left at home but that's just a known Arch issue).

What made me stop was the way they removed, restored, and then removed some codecs without adequate dialogue and then not mentioning it in the updates announcement. Between that, and the various management mishaps, I just chose to move to Universal Blue, then Bazzite, and now CachyOS.

I think their community is right in wanting to break away, though I would say making a new distro without the associated branding of Manjaro that is just toxic now.
