Untitled Linux Show 61
Getting Grubby with 5.19
Kernel Release Hype, Firmware Freedom, and Rootkit Terror
An extra special guest joins the show this week! Jonathan Bennett, Jeff Massie, and Ant Pruitt talk kernel release and what's likely to come in the 5.20 merge window, maybe enough to justify Linux 6.0.? Then it's on to the Fedora and Debian distributions wrestling with their software license rules -- who uses CC0 for software, anyways? And then there's the security angle, including reasons not to run 32-bit Linux, as well as the terrifying Linux Rootkit, Symbiote. Command line tips rescue us from the madness, from 'sysstat' for system statistic collection, to a high-level coverage of Grub, to a useful Photoshop alternative called Photopea.
