Quoting: constAs I switch locations quite often and have some dedicated devices for specific jobs, repairing these issues cost me days in the last years.
I've run into the issue several times, but so far it could always be fixed with a quick pacman -S archlinux-keyring

Did you try that?

I don't think I ever installed cups-browsed on any system, partly because I don't care about the convenience of automatic discoverability of a printer and mostly because I don't want to have automatic discoverability due to security concerns.

Iteresting… “our goal is not to push any specific agenda”… “focusing on (…) GaaS-native experiences”.
Focusing on GaaS is an agenda, right?

Interesting timing.

“Joining forces is exciting on multiple levels… we don't know if we can keep working on our projects without meddling and we don't know when we will be closed like our predecessor.”

Steam Deck - SteamOS 3.6.15 Beta: Zoomer Edition released

Quoting: tmtvlI guess even with identical hardware specs and the same software machines can behave differently still.
I've switched about a month ago and experienced a partial breakage. No chance booting into game mode, due to an infinite logon spinning wheel, but switching to desktop mode worked reliably. But Steam was completely broken in desktop mode as well. I ended up renaming the Steam folder in $HOME – that fixed the problem. Later I moved back my data from the broken Steam installation to the working one piece by piece.

So the issue I had was not related to hardware at all, but to the Steam client since it is so heavily integrated into SteamOS.

Quoting: mrdeathjrmpeg (case melty blood act cadenza, resident evil 4 2005) work
Does it work with gstreamer as well or is this something new?

I had hoped for some (more) examples of things that suddenly work, but nevertheless I think that ffmpeg will be a more reliable option going forward.

Quoting: PenglingThere's some irony there, I'm sure.
Like Disney, re-using public domain stories for (almost) everything while lobbying for longer copyright protection (for their own stuff).

Don't expect Flatpak's sandbox to protect you – is my modus operandi.
