Powered by the latest Linux 6.11 kernel series, Ubuntu 24.10 features the latest and greatest GNOME 47 desktop environment for the Ubuntu Desktop flavor with additional patches for Mutter and GNOME Shell to enhance stability and performance. In addition, the Ubuntu Dock now visualizes Snap refreshes and includes better handling for PWAs installed via the Chromium Snap.
...
Under the hood, Ubuntu 24.10 comes with an updated toolchain that includes GCC 14.2, GNU Binutils 2.43.1, GNU C Library 2.40, LLVM 19, Rust 1.80, Go 1.23, OpenSSL 3.3, systemd 256.5, Netplan 1.1, and .NET 8. The Ubuntu Desktop installer was also updated with support for local file paths for autoinstall import.
...
Ubuntu 24.10 will be supported for only nine months, until July 2025. If you’re looking for long-term support, you should download and install Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat), which is supported until at least 2029.

Has anyone else encountered missing fonts in games using WINE before?
First of all, yes it's a hentai game. You can believe it's for my girlfriend or not.
I asked her if she'd like a Steam Deck and she said it fits how she'd probably play games, but she wants to play a bunch of games she got off MangaGamer and she wants to make sure they'd work on the Deck.
I have a thinkpad running Fedora so we installed one through WINE to try it out. Everything is working but all the text are these squares for missing characters.
Is there any easy way to install fonts and characters for WINE, or will we need to look at something like the ROG Ally instead?

Exclusive: Musk's X to dodge requirements of landmark EU tech rules, sources say
BRUSSELS, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Elon Musk's X will not be designated as a gatekeeper under landmark EU tech rules known as the Digital Markets Act which would have subjected it to an onerous list of obligations, people with direct knowledge of the matter said on Thursday.
The European Commission, which opened an investigation into online social media platform X in May, will announce its decision next week, the people said.
The EU competition enforcer declined to comment.
X, formerly known as Twitter, had previously told the Commission that even though it met the criterion regarding the number of users to be classified as a gatekeeper, it does not qualify for the other criterion as an important gateway between businesses and consumers.
Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, TikTok owner ByteDance and Booking.com, have been designated as gatekeepers, among others.

Actually because Elon. Really.
The act requires a certain market position from a company. Which Twitter once definitely had - but does no longer have.
A lot of companies have turned their back on Twitter due to Musk (not only advertising wise but especially communication wise). And that does reduce the impact it possibly can have on the market. (Remember: The DSA is a market equalisation act)
Israeli troops fire at 3 UNIFIL positions in southern Lebanon, U.N. source says
BEIRUT, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Israeli troops opened fire at three positions held by U.N. peacekeepers in southern Lebanon on Thursday, according to a U.N. source who was not immediately able to specify the type of fire.
The source said one of the locations fired at was UNIFIL's main base at Naqoura.
There was no official statement from UNIFIL or immediate comment from the Israeli military.
UNIFIL had said on Sunday that it was "deeply concerned by recent activities" by the Israeli military near a peacekeeper position in southwestern Lebanon.
In a letter to Israel's military dated Oct. 3 and seen by Reuters, UNIFIL had objected to Israeli military vehicles and troops positioning themselves "in immediate proximity" to U.N. positions, "thereby endangering the safety and security of UNIFIL personnel and premises".
here we GOOOOOOooooooooooo
In 2006, during the last major confrontation, a UN Observation Position (OP) came under Israeli artillery and aerial bombardment.Despite repeated appeals to the IDF to stop firing, throughout 25 July, the OP on the outskirts of the village of Khiam was finally destroyed.
Four UN military observers from Austria, Canada, China and Finland were killed.
Israel’s ambassador to the US, Danny Ayalon, said “Unifil obviously got caught in the middle", and suggested that the deadly fire could have come from Hezbollah.
A UN investigation concluded that the base had been destroyed by a 500kg precision-guided bomb dropped by an Israeli warplane.
Israel concluded that human error was to blame.
In 1996, during an earlier round of fighting, Israeli artillery shells hit another UN compound, at Qana, where around 800 displaced Lebanese civilians were sheltering.
106 civilians were killed and four Fijian peacekeepers were injured.
IDF firing at Irish peacekeepers with no response from the administration would be a fitting capstone humiliation for Biden.

Sweden: police investigate shooting near Israeli-owned arms company
Swedish police said on Thursday that they are investigating a shooting near an “Israeli target” in Gothenburg, which the national broadcaster said was a unit of Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems, Reuters has reported. There were no reports of any injuries.
A young suspect was apprehended at the scene and a preliminary investigation into suspected attempted murder and serious weapons crime has been initiated, added police.
A police spokesperson declined to comment on the suspected target. Elbit Systems in Sweden did not immediately respond to a request from Reuters for comment.
Bolivia joins South Africa’s ICJ genocide case against Israel
Bolivia has formally joined South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), according to the court in The Hague.
The South American nation filed an application on Tuesday to intervene in the case, which accuses Israel of perpetrating “genocidal acts” in violation of the Genocide Convention in its war on Gaza.

Israel subjects northern Gaza to one of the most violent campaigns of its genocide
08 Oct 2024 - Israeli occupation forces have intensified their siege of the Jabalia camp and the surrounding neighborhoods, including Tal al-Zaatar, al-Sikka, Beit Hanoun, and Beit Lahia. The Israeli forces have also taken up positions in the western region of the Gaza Strip, advancing as far as the Jaffa Cemetery and the Tawam Junction.
With airstrikes, fire belts, and artillery shelling—including bombing homes over the heads of their occupants—the Israeli occupation forces have been occupying large portions of northern Gaza since Saturday evening, 5 October. Dozens of people have been killed and injured as a result of this ongoing invasion.
Initial reports confirmed that five citizens—including a woman, a man, and his son—were executed by the occupation forces for trying to escape the Jabalia camp while waving white flags.

"I think you ran into this as well?"
I only recall the situation you just described, when I received a mention without being included.
But I have seen others run into similar situations when they just didn't know that tagging people adds them to a group conversation.
I've been pretty aware of this myself, but for some reason, on a few occasions I've replied to posts I thought were private, and were in fact public.
Nothing embarrassing though! It helps to just be nice to people privately *and* publicly.

Apple is one of the biggest liar in term of privacy, juste watch some of their ads to see the "privacy focused" company as they said :

That's really a joke to see the apple logo at the end. They don't about YOUR privacy, they car about THEIR profit.

Debian is what I use when I need Ubuntu-tier support.

in reply to utopiah • • •I greatly prefer Debian and run it on my home servers, but I want something more cutting edge than Debian for my work PCs but not quite as bleeding edge as Arch that I have to pay more attention to for my daily updates in case it breaks. I kind of end stuck at Ubuntu as I don't want something obscure and harder for me to fix due to a smaller user base to crib solutions to common problems from.
I just use it as a relatively up to date, tested and supported base as I run Sway instead of the packaged Gnome, I disable snaps and all the other Ubuntu pro type garbage, even my Firefox is via PPA. Could I roll my own or use something else? Sure, but would I have the same trust over its reliability on the PCs that I use to pay my bills?

in reply to tankplanker • • •In what aspect? How about Debian Unstable?
I'm personally on Stable but I do also have some AppImages (and recently discovered AM github.com/ivan-hc/AM thanks to someone here), my own ~/bin directory and quite a few tools. I feel that there are very few things from an end-user standpoint that needs to done only through the distribution package manager. I believe having a stable OS but "cutting edge" specific apps (say Cura, Blender, etc) is a good compromise. As you mention Firefox over a PPA (which is also have I have) is such a good compromise. So I'm curious (genuinely, not trying to "convert" you to Debian on desktop) what is better on that front on Ubuntu rather than Debian.
Edit: to clarify I both pay my bills (literally, and work too) and play (including recent VR Windows only games) on my Debian stable on desktop.

For some reason I really don't like RPMs and that caused some hesitancy when I thought of switching, but really I never deal with RPMs directly. Zypper is ok and I've made peace with Flatpak. I update the whole distro every weekend and I've tested out reverting using Snapper.
In the year and a half of using it I can think of two problems I had from updating - one is fixed by removing the
GPUCachedirectory of an Electron app when Mesa gets updated, the other is with Zoom which I mostly fixed by moving to the Flatpak version.MonkeMischief
