zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) obsThe problem stems from incompatibility of obs with the current libva-vdpau-driver that provides hardware accelerated video decode/encode.
A solution is to delete the libva driver and install the nvidia-vaapi-driver instead.

So the biggest difference according to the video is the presence of examples in the BSD documentation.
Take the dd command as an example:
FreeBSD manual pages:
The Arch Linux man page of dd has no samples of use: https://man.archlinux.org/man/dd.1

> sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target
Place your right index finger on the fingerprint reader
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/default.target → /usr/lib/systemd/syste
m/multi-user.target.
In order to reverse this cahnge and boot into GUI mode of your Desktop Environment
sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target

23.10 adds ZFS on root during the installation process and Gnome 45 as the default desktop environment.
I may write about Manjaro’s disorganization in another post…

Stable in about 2 weeks
There’s a fix for a kernel crash when unplugging Logitech USB receivers and various other changes regarding hung systems at shutdowns or reboots. This seems to affect various Lenovo, Sony, and Dell systems using Intel Alder Lake and Raptor Lake that were having problems at shutdown/reboot.

We have identified hate speech from a malicious contributor in some of our translations submitted as part of a third party tool outside of the Ubuntu Archive.
The Ubuntu 23.10 image has been taken down and a new version will be available once the correct translations have been restored.”

Things are back to normal, and we have a networking pull this week. And probably because of the missed week, networking shows up quite clearly in the diffstat, although honestly, that’s probably also because everything else has been pretty quiet. We’ve got other misc driver fixes, of course, and a few filesystem fixes. But network drivers, core networking, and some network-related selftests do account for probably about half of the patch this week. Apart from that, nothing in here looks particularly odd, Linus

I always have an LTS (6.1.56), a current stable (6.5.6) kernel and sometimes I am testing an RC as in this case the 6.6-rc4

“In 2017, the kernel jumped from two years of support to six. Now, six years later, it turns out that’s a lot of work. Linux Weekly News executive editor Jonathan Corbet announced the Linux kernel will return to two years of LTS support.
The plan to cut back down to two years isn’t instant.”
According to the article the currently LTS maintained kernels are 6 🙂
