Pipewire freezes after initial login or screen blank
For a few months now, Pipewire has been acting in weird ways. Before I upgraded to Plasma 6, after a screen blank (not suspend) no media can be played. For example, YouTube player is in the loading state for a long time, eventually playing without sound, VLC doesn’t start for a few minutes....
Weird ass line in the middle of my screen sometimes (Fedora Linux)

The exception being that every time something moves, there is a weird line in the middle of my monitor that almost “splits” the screen in half, like it’s off by a pixel or something. this isn’t really present in static images though. it’s pretty...

Sandboxing Applications with Bubblewrap: Securing a Basic Shell (sloonz.github.io)

Open-Source-Mouse based on an Arduino Pro Micro utilizing the PMW3389 sensor (github.com)
The project has nothing directly to do with Linux. But I think it’s interesting and you should be able to use the mouse under Linux. In my opinion, it is therefore an alternative to normal mice.

XPipe status update: A new fast terminal launcher, a better file browser, performance improvements, and many bug fixes
I’m proud to share a development status update of XPipe, a shell connection hub and remote file manager that allows you to access your entire server infrastructure from your local machine. It works on top of your installed command-line programs and does not require any setup on your remote systems. So if you normally use CLI...

This might be a real stupid question but why is discover updating to a lower version? Is there any place I can read up why this is the case?...

Flatpak apps won't respect font-manager changes. Help?
I disabled non Latin alphabets using font-manager, because I don’t use them and 99% of my font list is just other alphabets. Unfortunately, flatpak apps don’t respect that. I tried both regular font-manager and flatpak one - neither affected the flatpak apps (I’m talking about GIMP and ONLYOFFICE). I don’t have any...

New to Linux—Epic Games compatibility? (Plus more)

Opensuse kde plasma 6 upgrade
Plasma 6 landed in opensuse. However, I recommend to do it in tty because if you do it in plasma the upgrade will be incomplete because the shell will crash in the middle of update without installing all. In case this happen to anyone, just reinstall plasma 6 pattern and it will go without problems
This hasn't been fixed, at this point should I just reinstall? {Solved}
