Will antivirus be more significant on Linux desktop after this xz-util backdoor?

Real exploiters go bug hunting for zero days. The XZ thing was a humorous clown dancing a jig in a minefield. The clown spent 5 years on the sideline, then stepped on a mine immediately upon entry.

I like your last statement.

I agree that users should take responsibility for their system, I myself learned to fully encrypt my Linux with luks2 and things about secure boot, tpm2 or so.

That's why I'm making assumption of the need for non-tech savvy users, like most Windows users if they come to Linux world.

Wow, where are my free spaces have gone to? XD

Last night, I run pacman -Syu update and let it run overnight.

it failed when I woke up, I didn't notice it and restart for newer kernel. Then the WM (sddm) fxxked up. I try to reboot it into mutli-user mode and reinstall kde plasma. it shows bunch of corrupted libraries errors LOL.

I took some time on internet looking for solution, finally found one. Reinstall all dependencies + pacman update cache in ram. https://www.reddit.com/.../recover_system_from_crash.../

pacman -Qqdn > pkglist_deps.txt

pacman --asdeps -S $(< pkglist_deps.txt)


pacman --cachedir /tmp/pacmancache -Syu

Can we limit Window Manager to load Intel iGPU only? (hotplug Nvidia without stopping SDDM/GDM)

In the case of laptops with integtrated graphics + nvidia graphics (soldered) (so called “optimus laptops”),

my case is In the case of laptops with integtrated graphics + nvidia graphics (soldered) (so called “optimus laptops”)

I thought optimus laptops is old kind of laptop. Newer laptop, like mine (Surface Book 2) use another thing call Prime offload might be same thing? IDK

when I want to run apps with nvidia gpu, I will have to use environment variables, ex __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia osu
