I've been trying a few Linux distributions (openSUSE Tumbleweed, Fedora, Debian, Mint) and I noticed how freaking difficult it still is to install Wine and DXVK.
Come on! It's been how long? Most Windows refugees will want to install Wine. It should be as simple as:
1. install wine package
2. double click .exe file
No wonder people love Arch so much.

This one definetively is in the right directiion, it only came 'a bit late' and is way too short.
There is no choice, if soneone wants me to use WhatsApp, AirDrop or AirPlay.
In my private environment I can say 'no, thanks' (and socially isolate myself), but when it comes to companys (e.g. discounts), communities (e.g. soccer for kids) or public services (e.g. schools), I have no choice. I simply have to use a device that supports it.
Still no chance for other manufacturers or data sensible devices.
When my school says (obviously it has the right to do so): we use AppleTV (they call it 'concept') then I can not use my #SailfishOS #LineageOS #PostmarketOS #Mobian Devices or my #Debian #Convertible. In this case even #Windows or #Android are useless because of #Apple patents and #walledGarden s.
So the 'digital market' still isn't abke to regulate itself and still is a game of monopoly.
Still no reason to celebrate #DMA
🛑 Serious Backdoor in Linux 🛑
Check if you're on xz utils 5.6.0 or 5.6.1. You should probably downgrade...
e.g. Red Hat recommending immediate cease of using Fedora 40 / Fedora Rawhide: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/urgent-security-alert-fedora-41-and-rawhide-users
Looks like Debian Stable & Ubuntu LTS is mostly fine by now? (thanks @penguingeek )
Debian nightlies and testing aren't:

Urgent security alert for Fedora Linux 40 and Fedora Rawhide users
Red Hat Information Risk and Security and Red Hat Product Security learned that the latest versions of the “xz” tools and libraries contain malicious code that appears to be intended to allow unauthorized access., (Red Hat)
Uhhh heads up everyone:

As far as Debian is concerned, seems like only Sid was affected (fixed):

Generally, XZ Utils versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1.
