GNOME je izgleda rešio da sebi zakuje poslednji ekser u kovčeg! 😁

Odreći se X11 u korist Wayland-a, menjati nešto što radi lepo ljudima, za nešto što je tako bagovito, pa to je čista ludost i samoubistvo! Šta Vi mislite o tome? :)

A šta je to XWayland? Imam ga u programmima u Sinaptiku, inače X11 mi je glavni displej menadžer, šta će biti ako bih instalirao XWayland? Inače, koristim Debian 11 MATE.

За Елбрус знам но за конкретан модел нисам сигуран. Међутим, за оперативни систем „Эльбрус“ не знам. Видео сам неке руске линуксе који имају посебну варијанту за Елбрус али ово не.

Stigla nas je karma, jer smo se kezili Window$ korisnicima! 😂
Video sam, to je samo da ti prikaze iz log fajla emergency logove. Nije kernel feature, nego systemd, i ako
te nervira, mozes da dizejblujes. No, mislim da je ovo kad nece da butuje ili kad nesto nece da se startuje...

Calamares 3.3 Released as the Next Generation Graphical Installer for Linux​


After more than a year and a half in the works and coming more than five years after version 3.2, the Calamares 3.3 installer is now available for GNU/Linux distributions that want a universal, independent, and fully customizable graphical installer.

Calamares 3.3 brings numerous changes, including support for more options in the Bootloader module when building the kernel command line, revamped fstab configuration, and support for skipping the bootloader installation in the Partition module in more scenarios.

It also introduces a new module called zfshostid for copying ZFS-generated /etc/hostid, support for LUKS or LUKS2 disk encryption in the Partition module, support for a configurable kernel name in the Dracut module, as well as modernized UI for both Keyboard and Locale modules.

Calamares 3.3 also updates the Netinstall module with a new non-checkable option for groups to prevent a group from being checked or unchecked as a whole. The devs note the fact that users can still check individual items in the group though.


Furthermore, this release allows the localization of the progress percentage during installation. It also strengthens the password security in the Users module by longer allowing for an empty password field, offering suggestions for other password-requirement schemes, and supporting stronger password hashes.

On top of that, the machineid module has been updated with support for several variations of writing the /etc/machine-id file, the unpackfs module now uses the -S option to rsync for sparse file support, and the packagechooser module now supports the latest AppStream 1.0 API.

Last but not least, the Keyboard module has been enhanced to be explicitly configured to use X11 keyboard
settings or the FreeDesktop locale1 DBus service, the latter being useful for Calamares as an “initial setup” system in a Wayland session. It also supports keyboard switch configuration and the ability to write X11 layout configuration with variants for all non-ASCII layouts.

The new Calamares release will be part of major Linux OS releases coming in 2024 and onwards, including Lubuntu 24.04 LTS. If you’re a system integrator, you can download Calamares 3.3 right now from the official website. This release is compatible with the latest Qt 6 and KDE Frameworks 6 frameworks.

Mission Center Now Shows Intel GPU Usage, Available as AppImage.​


Though on the resource usage point (as I see it come up) Mission Center isn’t the only graphical task manager-type app that uses a bit more CPU and memory than you’d expect whilst, but remember: it’s not the kind of app you run 24/7, so those demands are fleeting.

Sticking on the subject of things people mention: it hasn’t gone unnoticed that this app bears a passing similarity to the modern Task Manager in Windows. Personally, I’m not bothered by what this app is (or isn’t) inspired by: it runs on Linux, Windows Task Manager doesn’t, so that’s all I care about.

Using Mission Center you can:

  • Monitor CPU usage (overall, or per core)
  • Monitor RAM and Swap usage
  • See detailed system process info
  • See a breakdown how memory is being used by the system
  • Monitor storage usage and disk transfer rates
  • Monitor network usage and transfer speeds
  • See network interface info, including wireless speeds and IP address
  • See a breakdown of resource usage by app and process
  • Minified summary view for at-a-glance monitoring
  • Monitor GPU usage, memory, and power consumption
GPU monitoring for NVIDIA cards is powered by present for a few releases, powered by the NVTOP. But, interestingly, the latest version is able to monitor Intel GPUs as well. This gives Linux users a GUI alternative to the intel_gpu_top package.

A GPU memory usage column has also been added to the Apps tab in the latest release, making it easier to see how much GPU resources running apps are consuming.

These and other changes:

  • Updated to GTK 4.12 & libadwaita 1.4
  • Performance tab is now adaptive
  • Initial Intel GPU monitoring
  • GPU memory usage column added to Apps page
  • Host virtualisation features shows in Performance tab
  • Logical CPU graphs re-arranged in a ‘more pleasing manner’
Finally, if you don’t want to install this app as a Flatpak— you’ll be pleased to hear you can now download a Mission Center AppImage from the project Gitlab.

The addition of an alternative packaging format is undoubtedly going to help broaden the appeal of this (already appealing) tool.

GNOME 44.7 Optimizes Shell Application Search and Improves Performance.​



The GNOME Project released today GNOME 44.7 as the seventh maintenance update to the GNOME 44 “Kuala Lumpur” desktop environment series to fix more bugs and performance regressions.

GNOME 44.7 is here for users who are still using the GNOME 44 desktop environment series and promises to optimize application search in the GNOME Shell, whose performance was improved thanks to the devs addressing a performance degradation caused by a repeated signal leak.

GNOME Shell’s on-screen keyboard has been improved as well in this release by fixing the stuck backspace issue. Moreover, this update includes a fix for the Calendar pop-up to no longer shrink on date changes, as well as a fix for the Activities Overview and fixes for some crashes and other minor bugs.

GNOME 44.7 also comes with an updated version of the Nautilus (Files) file manager that improves Sushi integration, tree expansion in search results, reordering of bookmarks using drag and drop, connecting to remote servers, unmount detection on some non-native mounts, and fixes several crashes.


Just like the GNOME 45.2 release that arrived earlier this week, the GNOME 44.7 release includes gnome-bluetooth 42.7 to fix the bugs that prevented the Obex Push server from automatically accepting files from paired devices, which could cause the Connection switch on attached devices to look out of sync with the connection state.

Other than that, the GNOME 44.7 release improves Wayland support in the Mutter window and composite manager, improves HTTP/2 performance and adds support for building libnghttp2 as a subproject in libsoup, and fixes bugs in the libadwaita, GSSDP, libgsf, tracker-miners, and GUPnP components.

If you’re still using the GNOME 44 desktop environment series, you should update to the GNOME 44.7 release as soon as it lands in the stable software repositories of your GNU/Linux distribution. However, at this point, it’s highly recommended that you upgrade to the latest GNOME 45 release.

Tako reči nezvanično moj komentar na neke novine koje sam pročitao u vezi opertivnog sistema Linux generalno.
Tako sam pročitao napominjem neznam da li je tačno da se radi plavom ekranu smrti a vezano samo za Linux opertivni sistem za više komercijalnih distroa.
Ja lično sam skeptik povodom toga - pored toga radi se na implementaciji MS za sam Linux prvo u cloud varijanti a kasnije kao standardni dodatak koji ide uz opertivni sistem.
Glavna karakteristika linuxa je sloboda i pravo izbora sve što je nametnuto jednostavno no pasaran ni u kakvoj varijanti.Gledaju da provuku mnogo toga radi se ispod žita vezano za razne zakone i ograničenja na polju IT.
U suštini strogi nadzor i cenzura pogotovo onih koji po njihovom mišljenju ne poštuju MSM - diktaturu.
Sva nepodobština dolazi iz centrale - EU.
Nažalost naša država ih sve primenjuje bez obzira na posledice istih.

Darik's Boot and Nuke.​

Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot image that securely wipes hard disk drives (HDDs). DBAN is appropriate for personal use, bulk data destruction, or emergency data destruction for HDDs, but is not recommended for solid-state drives (SSDs), sanitization that requires auditable compliance documentation, or technical support.

Firewalld: An Easier Way to Manage Linux Firewalls.​

Tired of iptables? With firewalld, you can easily open ports, block IP addresses, manage zones, and even add a GUI for easier management.
If you use either Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux as your server operating system of choice, you’ll find them as powerful as it is flexible. And thankfully, they are not nearly as complicated as they once were.

Take, for instance, the firewall. Back in the old days, working with the firewall required you get to know the highly complicated iptables utility.
