Shoutout to fwupd for updating device firmware (github.com)
It updated a Thinkpad dock with no issues while on Windows, I had to find specific drivers and sketchy update utilities. Awesome!

It’s mostly libinput. Why the hell can’t I easily change scroll speed on Gnome and not on KDE? Why does gnome have a simple tool (gnome tweaks) to change the trackpad cooldown to change the time trackpad doesn’t work as a substitute for good palm rejection and KDE doesn’t? Why is it a bit of a pain in both to change...

nirogu, Run command as not-root
Hi everyone
At work, I have to run a command in an AWS instance. In that particular instance only exists the root user. The command should not be executed with root privileges (it executes mpirun, which is not recommended to run as sudo or the machine might break), so I was wondering if there is a way to block or disable the sudo privileges while the command is running. As mentioned, the only user existing there is root, so I suppose "sudo -u" is not an option.
Does anyone know how to do it? Thanks in advance!
What solutions out there can package software in the native package format? I only found fpm (effing package management) and OBS (Open Build Service) so far....
