BIG ASK: Could a few people build fwupd from the git main branch and then run "fwupdmgr report-devices" please. I need a bit of real world data to work on the server side report pages.

Checking out the code, then doing ./contrib/setup sets up all the build stuff you need -- and you don't need to replace your system fwupd at all. Thanks!

I made an app for Windows to automatically check Linux compatibility with all installed Windows programs. Useful for switching from Windows to Linux.

Facing a phaseout of your slightly older but still functional #Windows operating system? Want an easy solution? Migrate to #macOS or #Linux. Windows 11 is actually losing users who are switching BACK to Windows 10, and the latter will be losing support next year. #Microsoft is NOT making good choices right now, and it’s unclear they will do so again any time soon. Take back your freedom now!

After #Fedora multilib let me down, #Arch #Linux let me down, but at least I managed to build all 32bit gstreamer plugins myself! I only had to manually fix all of the following AUR packages....

And then I found out that the combination of latest KDE Plasma 6 and gamescope that arch uses is completely broken x(

Linux never stops giving (you shit).

Maybe I should just buy a PlayStation and leave my collection of 90s and 2000s cover-discs behind...
