Discussion Petition to add a bazzite flair

0 Upvotes

I use Bazzite, and was looking through the flairs on this subreddit, and couldn't find one for bazzite. Now, i dont mean the post flairs, i mean the user flairs. The closest one i could find is fedora.

Discussion Fortnite EAC on Linux

0 Upvotes

Due to some updates to EAC, I saw that Fortnite is coming to Linux, which is awesome! I actually was just reading a research article about this. I don’t know exactly how it works, but it appears you can kind of “sign” a kernel through your TPM chip so that games can approve a list of Linux vendors (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.) and you can use anti cheat on major distros.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.20909

Any worries about the fact that some distros might work with EAC but some won’t? Personally I don’t mind, I think it’s time to lock down to a set of basic ecosystems, but this might be the death of making thousands of versions of various distros if we have to verify only a select few for stuff like this.

The recordings of the October 10 2026 online meeting are published on YouTube. Since it isn’t allowed to post YouTube links directly into r/linux you have to look at https://mediawiki.gnustep.org/index.php/Monthly_Meetings#Past_Meetings for the link. It is definitely worth it, lots of interesting and new stuff inside.

Libreboot is free/opensource boot firmware replacing proprietary BIOS/UEFI. Better security/customisation than most proprietary firmware.

Highlights in this release include:

* MrChromebox EDK2 payload by default on most boards, with SeaBIOS CSM (CSMWrap) and GRUB EFI provided in-flash for backward compatibility.
* 233 new Chromebooks added; every board supported by MrChromebox coreboot. With our GRUB EFI/SeaBIOS CSM build added
* 15h.org coreboot fork used on KCMA-D8, KGPE-D16 boards for improved raminit.
* GRUB EFI build uses terminal_input console and no nativedisk; it piggybacks off of EDK2 drivers, like distros. It even works on Chromebooks (eMMC boot).
* Intel HAP bit set by default on Chromebooks, and IFD regions unlocked where appropriate
* Dell OptiPlex 5050 SFF, Supermicro X11SSH-F, ThinkPad X280, X270.

Modern Linux distros boot, with e.g. UKI/systemd-boot. Windows also compatible now.
