@Luigi311 @austriancoder Not for crimson, but dawn will get these recent improvements backported soon.

It's funny how Flathub says that an application is "potentially unsafe" because of such things as "can access hardware devices such as webcams or gaming controllers", "can read and write all data on the file system" or "can access the contents of the screen or other windows".

Without knowing what it's exactly talking about you would think that "this application is potentially powerful" would be a better wording 🤪

I have finally checked out MaSzyna - Polish MPL-licensed train simulator - recently and it's pretty cool 😎 🚊 It's going to celebrate its 25th birthday soon! #maszyna #eu07 #train #trains #trainsim #floss

@agturcz @kbob It's a different frontend for the same engine. apt was created to make changes benefiting humans without breaking tons of scripts that rely on apt-get.

"apt-get upgrade" only upgrades packages, never installs new dependencies or remove old ones.

"apt upgrade" installs new ones but doesn't remove old ones.

"apt-get/apt dist-upgrade/full-upgrade" both installs and removes packages as needed to perform the upgrade.

Under normal circumstances I just always use "apt full-upgrade" 😜

Not leaving the house combined with a nightly ventilation regime was a pretty effective way to deal with crazy heat this week, but with the minimum peak of 25°C at night it's reaching its limits...

My brain starts thermal throttling harder than my computers.

@Luigi311 There's still plenty of room for improvement! Several things there I've definitely half-assed 😂

@madargon

@grymas1000lecia vsync?

@janvlug @austriancoder @etam Nope. This was an ancient GTK3 issue.

@etam There were recent changes in Mesa by @austriancoder that sound like they could be related: https://christian-gmeiner.info/2026-06-10-fixing-the-rb-swap-the-right-way/

Worth checking whether all of these fixes are present in the version used in this pmOS release.

@nima Jokes aside, I don't think the place where Valve messed it up is actually FLOSS; my informed guess is that this is part of their EC firmware and AFAIK it isn't free (they did mention doing some groundwork for opening it up eventually, but that was years ago already) 🤔

So this was already fixed in a later version, but cherry-picking the fix back to 257 isn't trivial, ending up with huge conflicts as the patch refactors some stuff that were also touched by earlier commits that fix eight issues at once, co-developed by Claude 🤮 So I just rewrote the fix myself in three lines of code...

Both Librem 5 and Steam Deck aren't the cheapest pieces of hardware around, for some good reasons. However, did you know that you can easily get your return on investment by harvesting free power? It's easy, just connect them to each other and both devices will be charging at once. Use this to recharge the batteries, so you can then plug something else in to feed of the free energy you just collected. Follow for more tech tips!
