@kernellogger @archlinux @fedora @opensuse thanks for the link!

I get the issue but sometimes you have to wait that few weeks because between rc's pull requests are more eagerly postponed to the next release. This is not a comment to disregard the issue as a whole :-)

@kernellogger @archlinux @fedora @opensuse Hmmm... what. Even for a Github issue one week is not a slow turnover time. Maybe I don't understand the context. People have other priorities, are sometimes sick, have holidays and unfortunately shit happens all the time :-)

I think this is the most time-standing IT book that I own. It was published in 1999 and I still check it from time to time.

E.g. when collaborating with hpa on arch/x86/realmode, this book was my main reference in addition to ELF specification.

It is also as prose very nice reading with cool stories embedded!

I wonder if this the most convenient way to reset #KDE #Plasma 6 panel settings:

rm -f .config/plasmashellrc && kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell

A recent demo "Backslide to Arcanum" by Cosmic Orbs included a mind-blowing fullscreen 50Hz rotozoom effect on Amiga 500. Having created a rotozoomer on A500 back in the day I knew exactly how incredibly hard it is to make such routine run fast. The effect has now been dissected and there's also author's writeup.

Despite yesterdays rant on #Intel #GPU I cannot wait to have the slice of time to test various things like drm-tip. My own computer failings gives a chance me to learn a tiny bit of new in #Linux #kernel :-) So I'm always excited when my computers fails.
