Quoting: PikoloDo NOT try to run WarThunder with Proton. It will most likely work for playing replays, but you will get banned by Easy AntiCheat if you try playing PvP

Finally, a way to deal with War Thunder addiction.

And among the important additions, there is more soundtrack! The new song in the update is probably by favorite!

Quoting: Purple Library GuyGiven the actual plain meaning of the word "immutable" I think that's kind of understandable. What I find weird is deciding to go Humpty-Dumpty and use the word to mean something that's apparently completely different.

And the system still works according to the plain meaning, you just need to actually look at how state change happens. Deployments are immutable unless unlocked (we will ignore overlayfs for now). What is allowed is creation of new deployments, which can add, change or remove packages. Whether the user can affect how deployments are created or not does not affect whether the system is immutable. So, nobody is going "Humpty-Dumpty" here, the terminology is consistently applied, you just have a preconceived notion of what an immutable OS is like, which doesn't match the reality on the ground. I mean, it sure would be a bit awkward if SteamOS was "immutable" in the sense that not a single bit on the root filesystem was ever allowed to change. :)

Quoting: Purple Library GuyGotta say, this sounds kind of . . . mutable.

Not really any more than functional programming being able to represent a changing state despite immutable values. Some people just don't have a good grasp of what immutability in this context means, because it definitely doesn't need to mean that nothing is ever allowed to change.

Quoting: ToddLWould the removed packages come back if a new Bazzite update is available and installed on the PC? I know that Steam Deck likes to reset any of the changes you make on the immutable portion of the OS.

Nope, different kind of immutable. SteamOS fully swaps the root filesystem with a new image, rpm-ostree puts down a base image and then applies your overlays on top, including package removals and additions. So, you are fully free to install and remove packages as you need and want to, with the only caveat that if those packages cause conflicts, updates may fail to apply.

Quoting: kftXI wish it wasn't immutable so I could remove stuff I don't want like Lutris. That's the only thing stopping me from doing the Switch on my Steam Deck, really.

Just `rpm-ostree override remove <package>`. It's the same stuff as all the immutable Fedora variants.

Ah, what a coincidence, their release date landed right on my birthday. An excellent gift from the developers!

Quoting: KlaasI still don't know what's going on. Is it single player or multiplayer? If multiplayer – coop or last man standing or whatever?

Looks like either singleplayer or multiplayer co-op. It's a wave survival shooter, so shoot zombies until you die.

Quoting: elmapulits even possible to fix that without breaking the functionally of all existing printers?

Apparently the Foomatic printers require the kind of stupidity that caused the arbitrary code execution part, so when it comes to those the answer is probably "no". But I would guess that you can fix the issue while basically only breaking Foomatic and maybe making the necessary sacrifice of not getting automatic printer connections.

For most regular workstation users, this issue probably doesn't even really exist. At least in Fedora cups-browsed isn't enabled and the default firewall rules don't expose any CUPS services to the outside. Maybe Ubuntu does run it by default and exposes it, but then the question would probably be why?

I also don't really like how this thing was hyped to hell and back. Sure, it's a real issue in the sense that you can either DoS a CUPS install with the buffer overruns (a certified C language classic) or cause an RCE in some fairly narrow circumstances, but the hyping basically framed it as a damn apocalypse. There has to be some other way to get vulnerabilities fixed than by doing some kind of a salesman marketing spin campaign.
