  • I am going to leave out Intel for compute as I know little about the state it is in.

    I forget which community it was posted in, but iirc, Intel just lost a bunch of their Linux devs (Fired? Quit? I forget). Arc had some dedicated dev time put towards it, but unless something has changed, it’s likely still a hanging question as to what the future of Arc driver updates will be on Linux.

    So you are probably safe to recommend people avoid Intel GPUs for now.







  • That depends on your threat model. For most people, the attack is probably unlikely to affect them, but I would recommend reading about the flaw yourself. It’s not hard to understand.

    Also, this was not the fault of Yubico but a supplier, and instead of waiting for the supplier, Yubico patched the flaw themselves by providing a custom library.

    Whether you should replace your current Yubikey 5 is up to you.


  • They’re not entirely un-auditable, either. A security flaw was discovered in the Yubikey 5 in one of the IC modules from a supplier, and they patched all of their keys from that point forward.

    Unfortunately, all the 5’s from before May 2024 are unpatchable (by design to prevent thieves from having an easy way into the key), but any key purchased now should be fine.









  • I am not familiar with I/O stuff, but I didn’t see you mention if you tried doing an rpm-ostree rollback.

    Since you said it happened after an update, did you already try that to see if it fixes your issue? Another thing to look at is topgrade. It’s the underlying tool for Bazzite upgrades, so perhaps that can give you some clues as to what went wrong.

    ETA: Have you tried asking in their discord? The community and devs are really nice and generally pretty helpful.
