OBS Studio 31.0.4 video production suite fixes crashes related to media sources with no video size and improves stability for macOS 13 and Linux users.

While a number of Linux desktop users have expressed disappointment over Intel and AMD not providing any GUI for their GPU driver settings and similar functionality like they do under Windows, there are a number of third-party open-source GUI programs for managing graphics driver settings. One of the most capable solutions is LACT for GPU configuration and monitoring. Out today is LACT 0.8 with more features now in place...

As of now just straight forward following directions provided by https://github.com/mylinuxforwork/hyprland-starter?tab=readme-ov-file didn't bring me to success . An exact sequence of steps which allowed me to get the work done follows below. I understand that Hyprland Starter would be built for Fedora 42 with no issues by Stephan Raabe some time later. Posting this approach I consider it only as a workaround at the moment , which may be reproduced and verified.

The Alta board, launched in 2023, is based on the Amlogic A311D SoC, which combines four […]

Coccinelle is a tool for automatic program matching and transformation that was originally developed for making large-scale changes to the Linux kernel source code (i.e., C code). Matches and transformations are driven by user-specific transformation rules in the form of abstracted patches, referred to as semantic patches. As the Linux kernel—and systems software more generally—is starting to adopt Rust, Coccinelle for Rust aims to make the power of Coccinelle available to Rust codebases.

The NOVA-Core driver as the basis for a modern, Rust-written open-source NVIDIA GPU driver for the upstream Linux kernel and eventual successor to the reverse-engineered Nouveau DRM driver has a new co-maintainer...
