Linux-specific tweaks include better naming of PulseAudio streams from media elements ensuring KDE users choosing CSD decoration get correctly-sized minimise/maximise buttons in the titlebar when using fractional scaling and there are balms for errant Wayland woes that (sometimes) caused flickering in context menus.įirefox is free, open source software available for Windows, macOS, and something called Linux (no, not sure either). The browser also introduces supports color(), lab(), lch(), oklab(), and oklch() CSS options, just not (yet) by default.
Mozilla say Windows users will find that native notifications are enabled by default (which is great for them, I guess), and that users of Firefox Relay can ‘opt-in to create Relay email masks directly from the Firefox credential manager’ (which is great for them too, I guess).Įlsewhere, web apps used in Firefox can, should developers care to, take advantage of a new, sandboxed file-system storage API for storing data securely. Shocked? Course you’re not! The latest release arrives bang on schedule, one month to the day of the Firefox 110 release (which was notable for featuring WebGL improvements on Linux).Īlas, the change-log this time around is a little (perceptually) leaner. It will also update Firefox.Mozilla Firefox 111 is available to download. This will update your whole system, making it way more difficult for you to get hacked. The next thing you should do is click the Application Menu in the lower-left corner of the screen, hover over “Preferences”, and click “Apply Full Upgrade”. Once the installation is complete, you can boot from the USB containing the installation, rather than booting from the live ISO. Lubuntu will install itself to your flash drive as if it were installing to any other drive in your system. Here’s a picture of the screen where you need to make the changes:
Use the “Erase disk” installation option, and change “Swap to file” to “No swap” for the sake of flash drive longevity. When you get to the “Partitions” screen of the installation, click the dropdown next to “Select storage device”, and select your blank flash drive. Just boot up the live ISO, plug in a blank flash drive of a sufficient size, and then follow the Lubuntu installation process.
However, if you’re booting from a live ISO for the sake of having an OS on a USB drive, you can install Lubuntu to a USB drive the same way you’d install it to a hard drive. A live ISO should be used for testing out the OS, offline maintenance, and installation.
I’ve believe I’ve gotten hacked from failing to update my system regularly (yes, even on Linux). Even if Firefox is up to date, there’s lots of software on a live ISO, and there have been a lot of security updates between now and 6 months ago. I hate to have to say it, but the setup you’re describing is a very bad idea from a security standpoint.
