Ubuntu won't boot unless in very old VGA drivers

@mntmn i have to buy a #laptop. i have to make money with my work :( want do this with #floss design. My question is, has the #mntreform or next enough power? I use programs like #gimp, webdesign, #blender, videoediting #kdenlive (no cinema, but social media & peertube). My #thinkPad yoga 260 makes errors by video cutting in #shotcut bc is to weak i think

It should upgreadable, repairable & have free #bootloader. Last point why no #framework

Or is an old upgraded thinkpad for my case enough?

i take it nobody knows any methods to unlock the #bootloader of a north american #samsung galaxy a71 5g (sm-a716u) without paying some random guy on the internet $65 over paypal and talking with him on a telegram chatroom, right?

i just want this samsung bullshit gone, man

If nothing goes wrong, tomorrow I'll be able to apply for #bootloader unlocking. Sigh. #xiaomi #hyperos

Лечим загрузчик часов Redmi Watch 5 от падений

Разбираюсь с очередной моделью Xiaomi, отличная система, неплохой по железу девайс, но как всегда не идеален. Попытки обновить китайскую версию на глобальную, или перепрошивка демо часов вводят часы в состояние, которую обычный пользователь может назвать труп. Под капотом оказывается не совсем так, я покажу что происходит с прошивкой и почему выбранные архитектурные решения приводят к такому результату, а также покажу как исправить эту ситуацию.

Streamlining secure boot for 26.10

Ubuntu systems support secure boot using grub. grub contains a lot of parsers for file systems and other things which are a constant source of security issues. In 26.10, we’d like to propose removing the following features from signed GRUB builds: Filesystems for /boot Remove btrfs, hfsplus, xfs, zfs Retain ext4, fat, iso9660 (and squashfs for snaps) Image formats: Remove jpeg, png Retain none We do not use images, but using that in your grub.cfg locally is a massive security risk (if eve...
