The new SecureDrop Inbox is coming

A new SecureDrop Inbox will be released in the next few weeks, the result of work begun by the team in July 2025 to redesign how journalists process submissions. SecureDrop Workstation users will receive it automatically during a system update.

SecureDrop

SecureDrop Inbox, the new window into the SecureDrop Workstation, has been rewritten from the ground up to replace the previous client application for existing journalist users.

Improving upon the core functionality, it also includes bug fixes, speed improvements, and a range of new features.

This week's Linux and FOSS news:

LINUX NEWS

Vendefoul Wolf Linux (Devuan-based) rejects age verification:
https://xcancel.com/vendefoulwolf/status/2035441292520386852#m
(Never heard of this distro before, but it's always good to have some more options to go to, especially distros which reject most of the mainstream stuff which are more prone to age verification and other forms of corruption.)

Qubes will do whatever upstream Fedora does (so likely comply):
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/10744#issuecomment-3997244349

CachyOS also refuses compliance:
https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/age-verification-systemd/26316

Garuda Linux plans to "comply" in the least invasive way possible, only with some checkboxes:
https://forum.garudalinux.org/t/a-statement-on-age-verification-the-state-of-the-community-discourse/47652

Parrot will only comply if legally forced to, it's implementation will be easy to bypass:
https://parrotsec.org/blog/2026-04-02-our-statement-about-age-verification/
(I wonder what they mean under being forced. When they receive an email from the authorities, or what? 🤔)

OpenMandriva won't implement age verification, but won't remove it from Systemd, stating it can be useful for other things:
https://forum.openmandriva.org/t/systemd-adds-age-verification-are-you-serious/8793/75?u=xseagdc
(The comment right below describes pretty well, what the problem is with this...)

CuerdOS (Debian-based distro) rejects age verification:
https://skyview.social/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbsky.app%2Fprofile%2Fcuerdoslinux.bsky.social%2Fpost%2F3mikopwmbyk2r

HyraxOS (Linux Mint-based distro) also refuses age verification:
https://hyraxos.weebly.com/age.html

Fluff Linux (Arch-based) also says no:
https://xcancel.com/flufflinux/status/2033885428030575025#m

And Athena OS (Arch and NixOS-based ethical hacking distro) too:
https://github.com/BryanLunduke/DoesItAgeVerify/issues/42

Debian Is Figuring Out How Age Verification Laws Will Impact It:

Freeport project aims to strip Linux packages from age verification:

Big question

Has anyone here gotten an nvidia single gpu passthrough setup working in QubesOS?

today i won the lottery (: #qubes #qubes_OS @QubesOS

We dropped the #fwupd side in https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/commit/575b0f08281799962e8fbf6ac2ff570066fa3fe7 -- and #LVFS will stop signing with GPG when we release 2.1.1 in a few weeks time.

I think the only people that will even notice are those using #qubes to deploy updates.

Drop support for GPG signing of metadata and firmware · fwupd/fwupd@575b0f0

The design of gnupg and libgpgme are completly upside-down; the library calls a binary and then screen scrapes the output. It's also impossible to support PQC in a backwards compatible way due ...

Seitdem mein #Qubes wieder lauffähig ist, habe ich mein Artix (💙) kein einziges Mal mehr gebootet... Ich liebe dieses Betriebssystem so fucking sehr, ohne war ich nichts

Upgrade SSD without reinstalling Qubes OS

Resize with parted before LUKS. gparted is the GUI version which dom0 does not include. Resize LUKS. I believe it has to be unlocked. There are no filesystems here to resize.

Qubes OS Forum

Thinking about going over to #Qubes #QubesOS again given the way the worlds going.

Anyone using it as a daily driver? Any pitfalls?
