ULS 166: Update At Your Peril - Microsoft Breaks Grub, Torvalds Talks Kernel, & Linux LLMs

AUG 25, 202485 MIN

Description

The gang is back, and the big, weird news is that Microsoft is fixing Grub, and it may break your Linux dual boot. Then Torvalds talks about kernel work, AI, Rust, and more. Ubuntu is late, but will be fresher; Libreoffice ships 24.8; and Winter is coming for GIMP 3. For tips we have no more secrets for fun movie-style faux decryption, ProtonUp-Qt for managing Proton versions, brew for installing isolated software stacks, and crtlaltdel for managing what exactly your machine does in response to the classic three-finger salute. You can find the show notes at https://bit.ly/3ADKZiu until next week!
