I wanted my Android phone as a second monitor on Linux. Most tools I tried mirrored the screen into a browser tab or only worked over USB, so I built my own over the last few months. Tandem adds a real virtual monitor to your desktop. The GPU encodes it as H.264 and the phone decodes it in hardware, so you drag windows onto the phone like any other screen. - About 30 ms of lag over USB tethering, 30 to 60 ms over Wi-Fi (you barely notice it in use) - Hyprland and GNOME on Wayland, with one-command install on Arch, Ubuntu and Fedora - Encrypted, paired with a QR code Check it out here: https://saharshbaiju.github.io/tandem/ Repo: https://github.com/saharshbaiju/tandem It's free and open source. If you try it, tell me how the lag feels on your setup and what breaks. If you like it, star the repo ⭐ and share it with someone who'd use a second screen. It helps more people find it. submitted by /u/titansb-_- [link] [comments]

To be clear, I had assumed that 7.4 would be released the first week of January if we had had a 3 week -rc1 cycle, so am planning on 7.3 to be the next LTS kernel, which would have put the 7.4.0 release on the 27th if everything had gone "well". But now the scripts say: current status: 7.4-rc1 --- 7.4 window open : 2026-10-19 7.4 window close: 2026-11-01 7.4 rc1 : 2026-11-01 <-- you are here 7.4 final : 2026-12-20 --- That being said, if people are trying to "force" stuff into 7.4 that's the best possible reason to NOT have it be the next LTS release as we have had this happen in the past and suffered greatly for it. So let's just count on 7.3.y to be the next LTS unless something really crazy comes up with it that would prevent that from happening. thanks, greg k-h submitted by /u/unixbhaskar [link] [comments]

Finally, after three days of continuous experiments, I managed to get a working Linux on my old Redmi 3s! As you can see, it is running EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma mobile, msm8937 chipset. Of course, it is still quite buggy and laggy for now, and the performance isn't great, but it's a huge milestone. I really hope that in the future, after some optimizations, it will become fully usable submitted by /u/spectral_tears [link] [comments]

We have published our latest blog post detailing our project updates over the last couple of months. There is a new ISO with this blog post as well. aerynOS is still heavily in development so not yet recommended as a daily driver but it's coming along nicely. submitted by /u/NomadicCore [link] [comments]

Videostrong Technology had pre-installed malware backdoor in devices, and access was sold to criminals who used that for various other things. If user cleaned the system the malware would reinstall itself from oem-data. submitted by /u/ilep [link] [comments]

For those also getting annoyed with vendors not deploying a fix after giving a 9.8 rating, I found this great article with a generic NFT command that drops ip-options. The article also analyses the issue. I have managers in a state of panic who want to rip Linux out of the company because of Anthropic and their lab discovered vulnerabilities. https://almalinux.org/blog/2026-10-30-cve-2026-98432/ Works without impact on Ubuntu 22 and 24 Here is the relevant section; please read the article before using. Temporary mitigation if you cannot reboot yet The bug can only be triggered by a TCP connection request that carries IPv4 options. Normal traffic almost never uses IPv4 options, so dropping incoming IPv4 TCP packets that carry them blocks the trigger without affecting regular connections. This command adds an nftables rule that does this. It works alongside firewalld and is safe to run more than once. We tested it on AlmaLinux 8, 9, and 10: connections with IPv4 options are dropped while regular connections keep working. This table does not survive reboots. sudo nft -f - <<'EOF' add table ip cve_2026_98432 delete table ip cve_2026_98432 table ip cve_2026_98432 { chain prerouting { type filter hook prerouting priority -300; policy accept; meta l4proto tcp ip hdrlength > 5 counter drop } } EOF submitted by /u/McDeathUK [link] [comments]

Hello everyone! Over the past week I have managed to get very far in my adventures of porting Linux kernel 7.3.0 to the OnePlus 9 Pro! Many of you may have seen my post of my OP9P running FastFetch in a terminal—that has since been removed by the automoderator. However, many in the comments wanted the repo so that they may try it out for themselves, and I did not want to disappoint. So without any further delay, here is my very first repo! ​https://github.com/LuCiLuna/oneplus9pro-arch ​This runs native Arch Linux ARM on the OnePlus 9 Pro (lemonadep, Snapdragon 888 / SM8350) with a mainline Linux 7.3 kernel (110 patches), the Phosh phone interface, and zero Android underneath. !!!!! ​STERN WARNING — READ BEFORE YOU TOUCH ANYTHING !!!!! I am not responsible in any way for bricked devices, lost data, or any damages caused by attempting this. If you are not comfortable debugging the Linux kernel yourself or working alongside an LLM to troubleshoot the inevitable issues that will arise, please do not try flashing anything, as I cannot help you. ​This wipes Android and everything on the phone. There is no prebuilt image or installer—you must extract your own proprietary firmware, cross-compile the kernel, and build the environment yourself. ​Back up your partitions first, especially persist, modem, and the EFS partitions (they contain calibration and MAC/IMEI data unique to your specific unit). Never write to xbl, persist, modem, EFS, or param. ​Tested Hardware: Only tested on a single T-Mobile LE2127 (project 2085A). Other variants (LE2125, EU, IN, etc.) may require different device tree IDs or firmware adjustments. ​The install steps were written from how my phone got to this state and have not been replayed from scratch—expect to troubleshoot. ​What Works ​Display & Touch: Full 1440x3216 and 1080x2412 at up to 120 Hz with 10-point multitouch. ​GPU Acceleration: Full OpenGL 4.6, OpenGL ES 3.2, and Vulkan 1.3 support. ​Wi-Fi: Working up to 6 GHz (160 MHz channels). Bluetooth: Working! Tested Searching, Discoverability, and paring. ​USB-C & Video Out: Device and host modes at 5 Gbps (USB 3), plus HDMI over USB-C via adapter (note: some docks don't work). ​Power & Charging: USB-C PD charging at ~25W (configured to stop near 95% by choice), plus DDR, LLCC, and L3 memory scaling with load. Audio: Speakers and microphones work. Earpiece call audio is also working! ​Sensors: Accelerometer, ambient light, proximity, compass, NFC, vibration/haptics, flashlight and auto-rotate. ​Hardware Video Decoding: H.264 and VP9 in hardware up to 4K60, including inside Firefox via a custom FFmpeg patch/shim. Modem / Cellular: Calls (VoLTE), SMS/MMS, and Mobile Data (LTE) all functioning! GPS: Working via a patch to ModemManager! ​Partially Working / WIP ​Cameras: Main, ultrawide, telephoto, and front sensors work with autofocus (using patched libcamera, software processing, and basic tuning; mono sensor is raw-only). ​Sleep / Idle: Sleeps and wakes reliably drawing ~40–44 mA, though the SoC doesn't hit its deepest sleep state yet. ​What Doesn't Work Yet ​Biometrics: Fingerprint reader. Runs through a Qualcomm SecureApp. Will be the most challenging of everything yet. ​What's in the Repo The repository includes the 110+ kernel patches on Linux v7.3, kernel config, build scripts, an initramfs with a USB rescue shell, rootfs services, and userspace patches for libcamera, hexagonrpc, iio-sensor-proxy, phoc, wlroots, and firefox. ​Huge shoutout to Nia Espera, Caleb Connolly, and the sm8350-mainline project for the foundational port, David Heidelberg (CAMSS C-PHY series), Vsevolod Nevorotov (Synaptics TouchComm driver), and the wider postmarketOS / linux-msm communities! ​If you try this on another model or firmware version, please open an issue on GitHub with your model number and findings! My ears are also open to any suggestions you might have, as this is my very first serious project ever. Thank you all, and goodnight! submitted by /u/fuckedupnachos [link] [comments]

It's Sunday afternoon, two weeks have passed, and I've pushed out -rc1. I still have two pull requests in my inbox that I'm still thinking about, but I didn't want to delay -rc1 just because I'm vacillating, so they may or may not end up showing up in rc2. This is a *BIG* merge window. I think the reason is the by now obvious one, but I'm actually taking it as a good sign: I'm *much* happier with the flood of AI triggered work going into the merge window than it showing up mainly as extra fixes during the -rc period. So I'm hoping that this merge window being larger than usual is a sign that the AI fixes are becoming more part of the "normal development" than a flood of fixes that go into the whole stabilization phase. I think that's a much healthier model. But we'll see how the -rc's look. That said, a small part of the "this is a big merge window" may also be that people are expecting 7.4 to be the next LTS release, which is another independent reason why some releases tend larger than others. So it may not *just* be the flood of AI patches. Whatever the reason(s) for a big release, it's huge both in commits - almost 20k commits vs the more common ~15k - and as a diff. Although the diff is large partly for the other traditional reason: yet another AMD hardware register dump into huge headers. A full third of the patch is just AMD GPU register offsets and bit masks. We've been here before, and I'm sure we'll see it many times again in the future. Just ignore the noise. And if you *do* ignore that noise, it all looks fairly normal. Large, and full of fixes for issues found by AI (and more and more the patches have been suggested by AI too, although they often get rewritten). But not otherwise looking very strange. About half drivers (again, ignoring the AMD GPU headers - if you don't, it's more like 2/3rds drivers), with the rest being spread all over, and in the usual places. Architecrture updates, filesystems (both core vfs layer and individual low-level filesystems), tooling (mainly perf, and also a lot of selftest updates). and core kernel (networking, rust, bpf, mm: a little bit of everything). And even more than usual, you don't want to see the shortlog. Being a large merge window means that just the "shortlog" is 24k lines and 1.2MB total. So below is my usual merge summary, which will act as a kind of high-level overview of the areas that have changed. You'll need to get the git tree for full details (or more likely, to then look at the particular areas you are interested in). Linus submitted by /u/unixbhaskar [link] [comments]
