However that something must be untrustworthy for there to be a threat. Most of what you use is from distro packages, so should be fine. Steam games aren't (closed source), so you just have to cross your fingers and trust the developer.
What you should never do, is download random binaries off of the internet and run them (because what is this, windows?)

Quoting: EhvisIt means someone has to run something locally, which you the single user do all the time.Quoting: EikeNo, but someone still needs to have a local user account. So this is a big problem for multi-user systems. But I imagine most of us operate their home machine for themselves only, so for most of "us" it's not immediately exploitable.Quoting: MakiNote that both vulnerabilities are for a local user to gain root access.Isn't that what privilege escalation is all about?
You got to local user, then you enhance your rights and become root.
I mean, it's not like "local user" means someone has to sit at your keyboard...

Microsoft in the 90s were at their absolute worst. I grew up with this stuff too, of course, but once you learn the damage they caused it's hard to look back at it with love.
Multics (predecessor to unix) in the 60s had shared objects (dlls), filesystem permissions, multiple users, multiple processes etc, everything that is "modern" in windows. DOS in the 80s had nothing. Remember the viruses? Vista 35+ years after multics was the first windows to actually support multiple users.
They set back operating systems by decades. Maybe if Gates had actually stayed in school and took an OS course...

Quoting: BrandonGiesingI get your point, so this is more of an FYI:Quoting: ShabbyXI mean, there's many people that don't hate Windows entirely, they just hate Modern Windows so they can definitely still have a nostalgia for the classics.Inspired by the old Windows 95 theme and classic PowerPointThis is one game that's not going to be popular here, lol

Experimental code ready for testing to enable HDMI 2.1 FRL with AMDGPU on Linux

Do they want a member fee or something? If Valve wants this, paying for that on behalf of Linux seems like such an easy thing, I couldn't believe that would be it.

Quoting: LoftyNo I'm serious, what benefit does HDMI get from disallowing Linux supporting it?Quoting: ShabbyXMy question is why HDMI is being such an ass?you asked the wrong question. The question is when is it Not being an ass.

It's not like managing descriptor sets is easy :/ But he does have a point that we need more of these API shattering extensions to make the rest of Vulkan more coherent with heaps.

Quoting: razzeIMO mikes take on https://www.supergoodcode.com/unpopular-opinion/ [External Link] is at least something to considerBear in mind that half of Mike's beef is usage in Zink. Being an opengl driver forces you to implement things most apps will never have to.

Quoting: Purple Library Guy. . . There are things that still use OpenGL?Lots? Outside the API translation layers, Vulkan is not popular at all. It's orders of magnitude harder to use than OpenGL.
