The Arch Linux AUR had over 400 packages compromised with malware

It seems I'm unaffected, but WOW what a disaster. With all the newbies flocking to CachyOS and other Arch based distros, there are definitely going to be some bad outcomes here.

I hope the Arch community comes up with something that isn't just victim blaming newbies for not having their security dialed. The AUR is universally easily accessible and recommended with caveats that disavow responsibility. So Arch fans gave their fair warnings, sure, but then threw newbies to the wolves.

This will go down as AURgate

This and the auto-HDR CachyOS update may just get me to boot this game up to play from the couch with my steam controller...

This is incredible. I recently had to set my 144hz 4k monitor to 120hz due to the limitations of not having access to HDMI 2.1 . I understand it's critical for the Steam Machine too.

Firefox 148.0 arrives with AI controls

Quoting: BrokattMan the comment section on GamingOnLinux is one of the few places in the internet were I don't regret scrolling down. Amazing that we can still be civil even if we disagree.

OT: I think Mozilla did themselves a disservice calling it "On-Device AI" features. I think few people have an issue with local machine learning features. Calling them 'AI' just associate them with something completely different in my view.
Yeah, it's definitely an underhanded way of making the AI haters look more unhinged for opposing translation and accessibility features.

Just to add another voice here...

I'm happy to see responsiveness to the community and what seems to be a measured middle ground. I've been a happy Firefox user for a long time and will continue to do so.

Syncing my browser data across devices and powerful extensions on Linux + Android, love it.
