No relation to the sports channel.
If you’re looking for commercial games on Linux, Steam has pretty much solved this with the “Steam Play” compatibility feature, which uses a customized version of WINE to run Windows games. For example, Baldur’s Gate 3 runs perfectly. It should work anywhere Steam does.

Here’s the actual security advisory, which contains much more information than the fluff article about it.
Ubuntu on Desktop I can understand.
Not anymore. A whole extra, unneeded, proprietary, locked-in package system. Ads in the default install.
There’s Mint, Pop!, and plenty of other options that actually respect the user.
People pay for this?
Other way around. Unsupervised OTA updates are dangerous.
First: A car is a piece of safety-critical equipment. It has a skilled operator who has familiarized themselves with its operation. Any change to its operation, without the operator being aware that a change was made, puts the operator and other people at risk. If the operator takes the car into the shop for a documented recall, they know that something is being changed. An unsupervised OTA update can (and will) alter the behavior of safety-critical equipment without the operator’s knowledge.
Second: Any facility for OTA updates is an attack vector. If a car can receive OTA updates from the manufacturer, then it can receive harmful OTA updates from an attacker who has compromised the car’s update mechanism or the manufacturer. Because the car is safety-critical equipment — unlike your phone, it can kill people — it is unreasonable to expose it to these attacks.
Driving is literally the most deadly thing that most people do every day. It is unreasonable to make driving even more dangerous by allowing car manufacturers — or attackers — to change the behavior of cars without the operator being fully aware that a change is being made.
This is not a matter of “it’s my property, you need my consent” that can be whitewashed with a contract provision. This is a matter of life safety.
Remember SOAP? Remember XML-RPC? Remember CORBA?
Those were not very good.
1993 or so, before kernel 1.0. Slackware on floppies, then Debian, then Ubuntu, then Mint, now Pop!_OS.
I got a rather profitable career out of it: went into IT during/after college, then got hired into a big Silicon Valley company, stayed in that area for several years, then quit during COVID.
This is a spam blog. The real report is here:

Nazi furries have been a thing for years. The regular furries don’t like them.
Then it’s probably just more. Again: your post did not contain enough information for anyone to provide an answer to your question.
Antivirus doesn’t do what it promises. The only general solution for a compromised system is a clean reinstall. (This is true in Windows too.)
A process can change its name. If I wanted to make sneaky malware for Linux, I’d have it call itself more or something innocuous too.
The correct answer is “this is not enough information”. Why should a real more process eat ¼ of a core for any substantial amount of time?
If only we could be sure that $400 drones will only ever be used to kill tanks, and never to kill neighborhoods …
If you log out of websites & delete your cookies on Windows, random browsing may be more inconvenient there.
Fake headline.
That’s the main advantage of parted over fdisk + mkfs, really.
Sure, but if I were recommending a Linux OS to a first-time user, I wouldn’t recommend today’s Ubuntu as it is likely to lock them into a proprietary single-vendor system, which is contrary to one of the main points of promoting free software.
The first-time user might not immediately notice the difference, but it’s (unfortunately) bad for free software to have more new users starting on today’s Ubuntu.
This is pretty sad because Ubuntu used to be the obvious choice to recommend to new users.
Mint and pop are basically ubuntu.
Big difference: Pop, at least, does not push Canonical’s proprietary “Snap” nonsense. You can use it if you really want, but it’s not installed by default. No snapd on my system, thanks.
This is what Debian is for.
Why Linux is portrayed as a Penguin?
I quit software but I still grow beans!
