Heads up: systemd v258 suspend/resume regression (tracked upstream)
/// 14 Dec 2025, 1:21 am ////// Reddit ///

If your Linux system suspends, then immediately re‑suspends after resume, you’re not alone.

This is a confirmed upstream regression introduced in systemd v258.

Symptom: after resume, logind re‑triggers suspend almost immediately (double suspend loop).

Confirmed by bisect: last good release was v257, regression introduced at v258.

Upstream bug report: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/40078

Workaround: downgrade to systemd 257.x until the fix lands (expected in v259).

Posting here so people don’t waste time chasing distro‑specific fixes — it’s upstream.

System76 Launches First Stable Release of COSMIC Desktop and Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS
/// 14 Dec 2025, 1:34 am ////// Slashdot ///
This week System76 launched the first stable release of its Rust-based COSMIC desktop environment, reports 9to5Linux. Announced in 2021, it's designed for all GNU/Linux distributions — and it shipping with Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS (based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS): Previous Pop!_OS releases used a version of the COSMIC desktop that was based on the GNOME desktop environment. However, System76 wanted to create a new desktop environment from scratch while keeping the same familiar interface and user experience built for efficiency and fun. This means that some GNOME apps have been replaced by COSMIC apps, including COSMIC Files instead of Nautilus (Files), COSMIC Terminal instead of GNOME Terminal, COSMIC Text Editor instead of GNOME Text Editor, and COSMIC Media Player instead of Totem (Video Player). Also, the Pop!_Shop graphical package manager used in previous Pop!_OS releases has now been replaced by a new app called COSMIC Store. "If you're ambitious enough, or maybe just crazy enough, there eventually comes a time when you realize you've reached the limits of current potential, and must create something completely new if you're to go further..." explains System76 founder/CEO Carl Richell: For twenty years we have shipped Linux computers. For seven years we've built the Pop!_OS Linux distribution. Three years ago it became clear we had reached the limit of our current potential and had to create something new. Today, we break through that limit with the release of Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS with the COSMIC Desktop Environment. Today is special not only in that it's the culmination of over three years of work, but even more so in that System76 has built a complete desktop environment for the open source community... I hope you love what we've built for you. Now go out there and create. Push the limits, make incredible things, and have fun doing it!

/// 12 Dec 2025, 8:00 am ////// Fedora Magazine ///
4 package to try from the Copr repos

This article series takes a closer look at interesting projects that recently landed in Copr.

Copr is a build-system for anyone in the Fedora community. It hosts thousands of projects with a wide variety of purposes, targeting diverse groups of users. Some of them should never be installed by anyone, some are already transitioning into the official Fedora repositories, and others fall somewhere in between. Copr allows you to install third-party software not found in the standard Fedora repositories, try nightly versions of your dependencies, use patched builds of your favourite tools to support some non-standard use-cases, and experiment freely.

If you don’t know how to enable a repository or if you are concerned about whether is it safe to use Copr, please consult the project documentation.
