A similar bug, but featuring a different file and checksum, from today.

What are Linux developers going to be doing to address the new code being slow tracked which addresses BlackLotus attacks which eventually will be disabling current boot loaders with the vulnerability?
The more user-friendly distros have support for updating the UEFI secure boot dbx (forbidden binaries) database via fwupd, but due to the circumstances around this update, they currently don't/don't do it correctly. MS isn't doing it automatically themselves yet either so we're not any worse off. There's an open issue around handling this. I suspect it'll take a couple of months before this to-be-written support finds its way into distros. It's complex, annoying and the result of it going wrong is a system that can't boot Windows and can't boot from preexisting Windows recovery media. Distros will want to be very careful with it. I suspect they'll roll it out in stages with single-boot systems getting patched first and possibly interactive user confirmation.

Got this baby (T480) with my own money for $180
Use fwupd

I just installed Pop OS on my Lenovo Thinkpad T480, i see a bunch of firmware updates... any watch out here as someone completely new to linux? safe to update them all? Thanks!
These updates are coming from fwupd and LVFS. The frontend is Gnome Software. Lenovo is pushing their firmware updates to LVFS, so you're updating with vendor code. Its a lot like getting device drivers and what-not through Windows Update.

Rethinking Window Management in Gnome
If you use gnome, I can recommend Pop-Shell
https://github.com/pop-os/shell
- Why can't we have window management on a desktop environment ?
- Help. I’m using the PopOS tile windows extension(not on popOS) and most apps when opens after boot opens in a weird zoomed way as shown.

Best extension to mimic tiling windows manager?
Pop Shell is what I use, and it works really well (not available on the GNOME extensions store, get it from here, installation instructions are present near the bottom). Forge is another great option. If you want to completely change the look of Gnome, and have a completely different experience, try Material Shell, another awesome tiling extension.

Exterminate your desk: How to remove your mouse
I quite like Pop!_OS Shell (https://github.com/pop-os/shell) for tiling on Gnome, it feels like the right compromise for me of tiling while still having access to a full DE. Seems that installing it on other distribution should be easy enough.

Tiling speed
Is there a config of speed in PopShell https://github.com/pop-os/shell/tree/b5acccefcaa653791d25f70a22c0e04f1858d96e where we can adjust the speed of tiling? Just saying that extention like impatient only adjust the speed of animation, not the actual tiling or windows pops up (example would be archive manager pop-up).

Vanilla OS 2.0 Orchid base is changing from Ubuntu to Debian
One of my best friends uses the Pop Shell [1] GNOME extension to bring in an i3-like experience. It seems to lag behind a few GNOME versions, but system76 has instructions on how to use it on other distributions if you don't want to use Pop!_OS [2]

Why KDE Plasma was chosen as the default desktop environment for Asahi Linux
I am actually a pretty happy GNOME user -- granted, it is due to being able to tweak my experience with GNOME extensions and managing the aspects I care about with dconf settings managed with Home-Manager/Nix.
These are the GNOME extensions I find critical to me enjoying the UI:
- PopOS' Shell[0] for tiling windows
- Just Perfection[1] for making the appearance even more minimal/removing elements I don't use
I think if the GNOME team removed extension support altogether, I would absolutely switch to KDE. But for now, I get an extremely minimal desktop, and I really like it.
That being said, I typically live in my terminal, so I don't spend much time actually using the tools provided with my desktop environment.
(Just want to vocalize that there is at least one person who enjoys GNOME's approach of visually staying out of my way, but giving me a robust backend when I need it)
