Mozilla has decided to completely overhaul Firefox interface once more.

They meant "luckily".

Poor Windows users have to reboot once a month. Linux users don't reboot. They run vulnerable kernels I guess :-)

Gentoo has just confirmed an open secret: kernel.org official kernel releases are unusable and now they even come with incomplete vulnerability fixes.

Running Linux ;-)

VMware is still alive.

> It's not in linus/master, so cannot be in stable. Once it hits linus' tree, stable will be poked to pick it up.

This is as asinine as it could be. And 6.19.x is choke full of critical security vulnerabilities.

That's Linux for ya. No one fucking cares about anything. Business as usual. I mean the Linux server business. No one gives a fuck about the Linux desktop.

Edit May 19, 2026 19:12 UTC: after I sounded the alarm someone submitted the fix to stable despite it being "unsuitable".

The perks of emulation/translation/what have you. Alternatively you could play on Windows from day 1 without any issues.

If only there were a proper bug tracker.

> Publishers would have to offer “independent” play patch or refunds after server shutdowns.

A major win for the preservation of digital history.

All the modern kernels are vulnerable, the patch hasn't been applied by a single Linux distro.

Any local user can read any local file (e.g. SSH private keys, browser profiles, /etc/shadow, etc.). Nothing is needed: no kernel modules, no extra utilities, nothing.

Get the exploit here.

If you are sharing your PC with someone else, apply the patch immediately.

A thousand eyes they said.

At Red Hat Summit 2026, we’re announcing Fedora Hummingbird — a new container-based rolling Fedora Linux distribution. This distribution provides access to the latest software as soon as it’s available upstream, which ensures that it’s up to date and secure.

Fedora Hummingbird primarily utilizes an image-based workflow, similar to containers, but also runs in virtual machines and even on bare metal. If you’ve been following Project Hummingbird‘s work on container images, or Project Bluefin’s work on the operating system, you already know the model. Fedora Hummingbird applies this model all the way down to the host OS.

The foundation for Fedora Hummingbird already ships today from the Hummingbird containers repository. You can pull and boot it right now.

What is Project Hummingbird?

The central goal of Project Hummingbird is to get as close to zero CVE reports as possible in every container image it ships, and to stay there continuously. The team made every architectural decision, including distroless images, minimal package footprints, hermetic builds, and the degree of pipeline automation, in service of that goal. “Distroless” means no package manager, no shell, just the application and what it strictly needs to run.

Why does this matter? When you pull a third-party container image today, you inherit its vulnerabilities and you’re on the hook for managing them. Pull a Hummingbird image and the team’s pipeline has already done the CVE triage, the patching, and the rebuild – you get to skip CVE hell. (If you’re curious, current CVE status across all images and variants is published live at the Hummingbird catalog).

Over the past eight months, the team has built a catalog of 49 unique minimal, hardened, distroless container images (that’s 157 variants including FIPS and multi-arch) covering Python, Go, Node.js, Rust, Ruby, OpenJDK, .NET, PostgreSQL, nginx, and dozens more. Distroless means no package manager, no shell, just the application and what it strictly needs to run.

>In other words, recent Fedora releases have been bad enough I literally can no longer pay my colleagues to run the distribution.

I've been running Fedora since ... RedHat 5.2 back in the late 90s', so I cannot confirm any of the issues identified by DistroWatch but then I'm an XFCE user, I don't use zRAM, and I only use dnf in console. I also vaguely remember that my past experience with dnfdragora hasn't been stellar.

Still, I don't think we can ignore this because a new inexperienced user may get it even worse, because they have no idea how to use console.

This bug affects Firefox 150.0.2, it's yet to be resolved.
