From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah. I use Aurora on my laptop, but, to be fair, I don't reboot it as often. Maybe every 2-4 weeks I guess.
I saw the announcement about the failing updates, tried to update my system, and that went as announced, failing to verify.
I then executed the script, updated my OS successfully and rebooted.
The system worked fine now for a few days. Yesterday I shut off the device, and today I got greeted by the failed secure boot, having to resort to the image before and fix it.
On my gaming PC I use Bazzite, but I didn't turn the PC on the last days. I only executed the update-fix-script, installed the pending updates, played for half an hour and then shut it off again.
I will keep you up to date with the results once I come home.
Btw, I asked my partner about her opinion on this. She said that problems like this may happen anywhere, no matter which software, and as long as the devs announce that and offer a simple fix, there's nothing one can do about it.
She only suggested a small "news channel" built into the OS.
Do you think that might be possible to integrate, for example into the MOTD in the terminal? I don't know if there are possible solutions out there.
Yeah we're working on that here: https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin/issues/1485
The failure with secure boot afterwards is news to me, we'll investigate, thanks!
