Why Drawing Tablet Brands Won't Collaborate on Linux FLOSS Drivers - David Revoy

22 juin 2026 à 14:36
Et ben on ne peut pas dire que les fabricants de tablette collaborent vraiment pour faire tourner leur matériel sous Linux.
(Certes sous Linux la plupart des packages dédié à la gestion des tablettes portent le nom d'une marque - Wacom - ce qui refroidit les concurrents.)
C'est quand même du gâchis.

Someone Forked systemd Over Its New Birth Date Field

22 juin 2026 à 01:48
The blog Linuxiac reports: A new systemd fork has appeared with a specific purpose: removing systemd's recently added support for storing a user's birth date in JSON user records. The fork, called Liberated systemd, published its first tagged release as v261 shortly after the official systemd 261 release. In other words, the fork follows upstream systemd while reverting the change that added the new optional birthDate field. Importantly, this is not a new init system, a wider redesign of systemd, or a general-purpose alternative to the upstream project. Its stated purpose is to remain close to upstream systemd while removing what the author describes as "surveillance enablement"... The author recommends testing the fork in a virtual machine before using it on real hardware and warns nightly builds are more likely to be unstable than named releases.
