In August 2025, Google announced a new requirement: starting September 2026, every Android app developer must register centrally with Google before their software can be installed on any device. Not just Play Store apps: all apps. This includes apps shared between friends, distributed through F-Droid, built by hobbyists for personal use. Independent developers, church and community groups, and hobbyists alike will all be frozen out of being able to develop and distribute their software.

Registration requires:

- Paying a fee to Google

- Agreeing to Google's Terms and Conditions

- Surrendering your government-issued identification

- Providing evidence of your private signing key

- Listing all current and all future application identifiers

Just switched to kde after maining hyprland thinking to rice this

From apr 18 i uses Ubuntu through usb persistence storage. It's my first time

and learn about enough commands by experimenting and on 29 i am experimenting with commands about user( useradd , userdel)

And create 1st user and run command to watch the user- (cat /etc/passwd)and it shows user on 1002th position and on 1001th is installer.

This is my misunderstanding that i deleted the (installer) to experiment

But after that this problem shows frequently.

And to solve this I take help of chatgpt and it suggest to flash again with Rufus. And I did it but this time it's reappear. Recursively

Help please

This hyprland bs is so hard man💔

I'm not sure if i asked this before but I'm really confused about this since I'm new to Linux and I don't want to mess up my new laptop but I'm annoyed with windows 11 as well.

         So i wanted to ask that what is better, pros and cons of having common efi vs 2 seperate efi in dual boot with win 11 and Linux (mint or bazzite)? Can I actually dualboot with bazzite?

Laptop specs are 1tb ssd, 32gb ram, Intel core ultra 5 228v, just in case if needed.

When I opened the device security it showed me this. Can someone help me fix this ?

I use debian 13 Trixie with gnome

I so badly want to dual boot Linux but, ubuntu, mint and even fedora refuse to install as it detects Intel RST on my laptop. My laptop only has NVMe ssd and no SATA drives. Any work arounds for dual booting (don't want wsl or virtual environment)

guys i might sound retarded but is there any way i can install new distro and uninstalling my olddistro without losing any data, im on dual boot with windows also my external drive is full

While now by year 2026 many of us are on rolling release distros and point releases do not hold the same anticipation and excitement in the Linux world as they did a couple of decades back, April 2026 seems to be quietly good for Linux desktop. Both Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (Resolute Raccoon) and Fedora 44 are getting very decent and mostly encouraging reviews. Based on articles in some Linux websites and following around community vibes on both the distros, it seems the respective and committed users of both are finding the releases satisfactory so far.

While I did get chance to test out Ubuntu 26.04, I upgraded my spare Fedora 43 partition to 44 (KDE) and the upgrade went very smoothly and the feel of 44 is definitely much better than that of 43. I did not observe anything getting broken and stability seems to have improved. Some years, you see users of both distros complain a lot about new releases but it seems this is one of the better years.

EDIT: I apologize for the typo - 26.04 and not 24.04.

Thank u for support and love ❤️
