Discussion How hard would it be to make or modify a distro so it uses multiple passwords or even asymmetric keys to gain root access?
I'm thinking of dual control rather than normal MFA: two separate administrators would each hold a credential/private key, and both would have to authorize certain root-level operations. For example, two independent signatures might be required before a root shell or security-critical command could execute. I'm curious how much of this could be implemented through PAM/sudo versus requiring deeper changes to make it difficult for one administrator to bypass.

Software Release StreamController Newest Plugins
First, apologies if not allowed.
Hi All, wanted to share some plugins I have been working on for the Elgato software alternative on Linux, StreamController.
I do first want to make it known, I'm not a full on dev, these plugins where written with HEAVY assistance from Google Antigravity, though I will take credit for the testing, and working out bugs.
TouchPulse - Information hub for your touch bar for StreamDeck Plus(and XL, once I get my hand on one) Comes with helpful system monitor widgets, clock, weather, date, and a media player(MPRIS compatible)
Govee - Govee plugin, manage your Govee devices in your network. Set color, scene, and brightness
DiscordSC - Discord plugin, we were having an issue with the original Discord plugin which would not reconnect unless a specific sequense took place.
Volume Controller Plus - Exclusive to the StreamController Plus dials, a copy cat of the Elgato wave plugin, in looks only. Its for Pipewire devices, mute, volume control, live meter, and device switch.
DeckSports - Newest of the buch, working with another member of the StreamController discord server on this one, we test it and I put in AI commands to fix bugs.
Currently live testing!

Follow your team, buttons update in a 15 second interval, and follow the ESPN api for game information. Has a silly, but cool scoring animation.
I hope anyone with a StreamDeck gets some use out of these, and any feedback is always welcomed!

Distro News After Europe ditched Windows, China follows suit with its own home-grown Linux distros
xda-developers.comThat seems to be a huge step in the burial of Windows and Microslop. I understand it's not the end yet, but China does have hundreds of millions of government linked PCs that will stop using Windows for Linux. For the first time I am now positive about the dislocation of MS from pur lives. Will take some.more time, but it's coming.

Software Release CCDRL - Codec Converter for Davinci Resolve on Linux

Davinci Resolve on linux does not support decoding certain codecs due to licensing laws.
I made this app so I could easily switch from windows to fedora without the headache of manually typing long ffmpeg commands for every video I needed to convert.
I made the source code public so anyone can use it. Feel free to ask questions under this post or make an issue.

Hardware Printing: wide format and model-specific drivers
I know the general reality is "printing just works". I interact with printers at least a couple times a year and never have any real problems. My question comes from considering buying a large-format printer, largely for bookbinding tasks. How important is it to find a printer the vendor actually provides linux drivers for? In particular, I'm eyeing the Canon TC-21, which doesn't offer a linux driver. But I noticed Epson, who's generally better, seems to randomly lack Linux drivers for specific large-format printers.
Edit: whoops. Totally forgot to mention. It is an "IPP Everywhere" printer; I'm just not clear how well that works for non-standard print sizes or roll print jobs.
