Hey all, new to Linux so bear with me here.

I was on plasma wayland and I updated my Nvidia drivers to version 550.163.01 on my 3050 (confirmed after running the 'nvidia-smi' command in konsole) the other day, and I can only boot into the plasma x11 desktop environment. Whenever I try to to log into plasma wayland, the screen will go black for a second and then automatically return me to log in screen.

After running uname -r, my kernel version is 6.12.74+deb13+1-amd64

The system runs okay on x11, but some programs don't work as they should, and the whole system seems a little sluggish. Any ideas to get back into wayland?

🔹The report says operatives posing as representatives of a fake British investment fund called “Stockard Capital” lured Slovenian political figures into meetings and secretly recorded them, including former Justice Minister Dominika Švarc Pipan, during staged business meetings in Vienna and other locations.

🔹Mladina also reports that senior Black Cube figures met right-wing opposition leader Janez Janša in Ljubljana on December 22, 2025. Then, roughly ten days before the election, edited videos of government figures began appearing anonymously online on a site called anti-corruption2026(dot)com.

🔹Black Cube became internationally notorious for working on behalf of Harvey Weinstein, conducting covert surveillance of journalists and attempting to gather damaging information on women who accused the convicted rapist. This operation to target government figures echoes their previous efforts.

🔹The scandal lands in the middle of an election where Slovenia’s stance on Palestine has been a significant dividing line. Prime Minister Robert Golob’s center-left government has taken one of the strongest pro-Palestine positions in the EU. Slovenia recognized the State of Palestine in 2024, imposed a total arms embargo on Israel in 2025, has announced intention to join South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the ICJ, and banned imports from illegal Israeli settlements. 🔹Janša’s right-wing opposition opposed recognizing Palestine and maintains close ties with Israeli leadership. Black Cube is often described as a “private Mossad” because of its links to Israeli intelligence networks (it was founded by former members of Israeli military intelligence Unit 8200) and to figures close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The firm’s alleged role in the election is likely to raise questions among European leaders about what Netanyahu knew about the operation

Bluetooth not working at all, internet not working at all, and even the setting for HDMI audio output is gone. The settings page is just empty.

I managed to load an older kernel(?) and got Bluetooth and internet working again, but still no audio. I'm as much of a novice at running Linux as you can get. I've been trying to troubleshoot this with the help of an LLM, but I have no idea what I'm doing here.

Any help, please?

"This war has nothing to do with NATO. It's not NATO’s war," Stefan Kornelius, a spokesperson for German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, told reporters in Berlin on Monday. "NATO is a defensive alliance, an alliance for the defense of its territory," he added.

I have a few cheap Roku tvs, turns out they have developer mode and you can sideload stuff onto it. Unfortunately, DDG just gives me a bunch of guides on how to activate developer mode, each one ending with "go find it yourself on github" when it comes to what to actually put on it.

Anyone have experience doing this? Do you have suggestions for what to load on it? We only really use it for jellyfin at the moment but this feels like a fun little thing to play with.

Hi, i'm looking for a VPN that:

• is easily deployable via a docker-compose
• has an Android App and it doesn't drain the battery too much
• hides as regular HTTPS traffic so it's not blockable by Firewalls. (I don't need strong censorship resistance; it just has to work in offices and hotel WiFis.)
• Bonus: A server like caddy can also accept HTTPS traffic for some regular websites next to the VPN server.

https://github.com/TrustTunnel/TrustTunnel sounds interesting, but the PR for docker compose was closed.

Do you know something else?
