GNOME 47 Can Now Be Built With X11 Support Disabled (www.phoronix.com)
 

For those wanting to build a Wayland-only Linux desktop experience without carrying any aging X11 baggage, GNOME 47 will be able to optionally offer Wayland-only support without carrying X11/X.Org support. This Mutter merge request landed today that allows compiling Mutter with X11 support disabled. That landed today along with this GNOME Shell merge request for being able to disable X11 support too.

Either Connect to VPN > Download the Add-on.

Or, on the GitHub or Gitlab page, provide a copy of extension and the instruction to install it locally.

Canonical Announces Availability of Real-Time Kernel for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS - 9to5Linux (9to5linux.com)
 

To get started with the real-time kernel for Ubuntu 24.04, check out the official documentation. One thing to keep in mind if you’re an NVIDIA GPU user is that the real-time Ubuntu kernel does not support the proprietary NVIDIA graphics drivers.

Apple limits third-party browser engine work to EU devices (www.theregister.com)
 

The Register has learned from those involved in the browser trade that Apple has limited the development and testing of third-party browser engines to devices physically located in the EU. That requirement adds an additional barrier to anyone planning to develop and support a browser with an alternative engine in the EU.

It effectively geofences the development team. Browser-makers whose dev teams are located in the US will only be able to work on simulators. While some testing can be done in a simulator, there's no substitute for testing on device – which means developers will have to work within Apple's prescribed geographical boundary.

... as Mozilla put it – to make it "as painful as possible for others to provide competitive alternatives to Safari."

For What application you face issue? I’m curious as XWayland should provide backward compatibility.

Used Mainline to install it on Ubuntu 23.10. Together with Nvidia driver v550, it is working without an issue for me.

Starting with Firefox 127, we're enabling a new anti-tracking feature in Nightly: Bounce Tracking Protection. in c/[email protected]

We’re working on a new anti-tracking feature: Bounce Tracking Protection. It works similar to the existing Cookie Purging feature in Firefox, but instead of a tracker list it relies on heuristics to detect bounce trackers.

It’s based on the navigational-tracking-protections spec draft in the PrivacyCG[1]
