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

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.

Would be good to put some pressure on them to use this.

Fedora Atomic Desktops
I'm using Silverblue 39 for about 2 month coming from NixOS Unstable. It's working very well for me. I have some packages layered like Nvidia and fish shell and https://github.com/CheariX/silverblue-akmods-keys for AKMODS modules work with secure boot. Things like neovim, pyright, helix, starship, LSPs and CLI applications I install with brew (brew.sh). For desktop things I use Flatpak.
I had a problem with some Flatpak applications (like Steam and Discord) and brew because brew puts its folder in the $PATH before the default ones (/usr/bin ...) and those Flatpak applications tried to use SSL keys from brew instead of the system ones. I just changed the order of the $PATH to make brew bin path to be after ther system ones.
For VSCode I'm not using the Flatpak I'm using the tarball one I just extract in ~/applications and symlink the code binary in the ~/.local/bin. It's working well, I don't have problem with VSCode not executing LSPs and lint things. The only problem is VSCode from tarball cannot updates itself, so I need to download the newer version and extract to ~/applications. There is this VSCode CLI version (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/?dv=linux64cli) but I was not able to make it use the wayland backend.

The New Big Picture Mode Does not Seem to Work Well with Nvidia GPUs on Linux clients

- Hello dear community, I have another question about Fedora Silverblue, Nvidea and Secure Boot. Is it possible to install and use the proprietary driver with active Secure Boot?
-
Do NVIDIA drivers still need to be signed manually ?
On workstation, no. On Silverblue, yes. There is a package on Github that will help you if you are on Silverblue. Link here: silverblue-akmods-keys

Nobara Linux
It works, but only with a hack where you manually have to overlay a self build package that provides the akmod keys.

Fedora is way better than Ubuntu
Unfortunately I can't test it, as this feature is currently still broken (workaround) on Kinoite/Silverblue and Silverblue is the only version of Fedora I use.
-
Tip: if you're not on F37 yet, you can check your security level using the 'fwupdmgr security' command
Kinoite and Silverblue have problems signing akmods, though https://github.com/CheariX/silverblue-akmods-keys is a completely functional workaround. Non-rpm-ostree variants of fedora should work according to what I have seen online.
