Update 1: Thanks for all the responses! I’ve gotten a lot of very good comments saying I should stick with Mint, and that’s sitting comfortably in my top two picks right now. Between new distros, I’m most interested in Arch’s rolling release model, as it provides some benefits for me for reasons I didn’t really get...
Is there a non-dev oriented #Linux distribution that is as light weight as AntiX but has strong minimalist opinionated defaults (one app per feature, all consistent) ?
One that would be fine on a 2010 mini and to be used by people averse to tech (read mail, browse web, libre office and that’s it).
Hello. These questions are self-hosting related, but I feel they do partially belong here as they are also about fedora linux in general. I have a server which is currently running Debian. It has an arc GPU, and no matter what I do, video encoding refuses to work. I was thinking I might move it to Fedora, but have some questions...
my #iphone6 smashed on the floor. touchscreen is slowly degrading; some letters impossible to type; and some buttons impossible to click...
Starting to think i have reached my limit... (cc @limitesnumeriques )
@marieverdeil i'd look for something like a oneplus 6 or oneplus 6t. you should be able to find it used for an ok price, it has quite decent hardware, and was / is widely used, so there's a bit of momentum around it regarding driver support and stuff like that.
also, it's common to need to ask for vendor-approval to unlock your phone when installing other operating systems. this can get icky and annoying for various reasons. that's not the case with these models, you can just unlock it yourself.
Pytanie od totalnego #Linux.owego laika do specjalistow i osob oblatanych w temacie - prosze sie nie smiac, a jesli juz musicie to po cichu, tak zebym nie slyszal ;)
Jakie minimalne wymagania jesli chodzi o #procesor i #RAM powinien spelniac laptop, na ktorym chcialbym sie pobawic Linuxem, biorac pod uwage, ze to nie bedzie jakas najbiedniejsza, najbrzydsza wersja? Tak, zebym za rok - dwa nie musial niczego formatowac bo mi zacznie cos zamulac?
I jaki wplyw ma Linux na pozeranie baterii, zakladajac, ze to nie ma byc sprzet do grania tylko (komfortowego, podkreslam) przegladania internetu, pisania tekstow, poczty, itp. itd? No i do szeroko pojetych zabaw z Linuxem oczywiscie ;)
I keep seeing ads for suped-up laptops for #Linux, and that's great and all--I know a lot of people are really into just how damn fast they can download an update--but I'm way more interested in, "I got my MacBook 2007 to be perfectly serviceable with #DebianLight or whatever." I want to breathe life into an old piece of shit, not acquire yet another piece of tech I'll have to recycle someday.
ah, IT issues... yesterday I tripped a fuse when making dinner (the electric kettle somehow creates a power surge just before boiling, and when the oven runs at the same time it gets tripped).
When I put it back my small rpi server in the living room all of a sudden makes issues. It runs, and I can connect to it from the outside, but somehow not from inside my home network.
But I ping it and it seems to be on... but I just can't seem to ssh onto it anymore.
after troubleshooting way too long into the night this morning it finally dawns on me: when I tripped the fuse the rpi rebooted, but my laptop didn't. So when the network came back the laptop registered on the network first and by chance got the IP the rpi normally reserves for itself.
So all the time when I was trying to ping my little server I was pinging my own notebook and of course I saw it as online

@coffe
Everything comes to what do you need and like.
I3 is tilling, lightweigh and so much easy to configure
Awesome is bloated, to much things that nobody really uses in a wm
DWM is tilling, lighweight but it's configure in compile time, that means that you need to recompile it every time you want to change anything in you config.
Spectrwm is a fork of DWM with a config file.
Bspwm is the most complete, easy to configure and use that you can find.
Mini had strong specs for 2014 (1TB SSD and 16GB RAM) and is a bit overpowered for a lightweight distro which should run with just 256 MB of RAM.
The dual core i7 didn’t age so well though. Well you won’t notice until you launch a slow motion operating system simulator . I mean a browser on today’s shiternet.
I think I’ll settle on AntiX Linux for now on the mini. It’s Debian based, no systemd, starts with icewm. Very light out of the box. I wouldn’t recommend it for newbies as it feels more nerdy than say KDE Neon or plain Ubuntu. But as a nerdy person I like it. Seems fast stable and usable.
@kaia email me (webmaster@cyberciti.biz) or privately dm ray ID that is at the bottom of that page and I will look into it why WAF prompted for verification?
I’m currently following Linux & Open Source News from The Linux Experiment, and I know others like Destination Linux that I don’t like it at all, can someone suggest me some good podcasts? It fine to me if they just talk technical things or curious things, but I want to learn more things about Linux.
Got my first development environment (Jekyll website) running in NixOS on my Framework laptop using devenv. That makes this my first successful dev environment in nix. :) Nice work @domenkozar!
Is there any text-based, ideally distributed monitoring software out there? I want a TUI that shows me (e.g. with green/red highlights) the reachability of hosts (simple ping checks) while I'm doing network maintenance. Like a really simple, curses based nagios? It would probably look like a bloomberg terminal.. (I know this wouldn't be too hard to implement.. but I can't really believe it's not already out there...) #linux#TUI#monitoring#network#networking#sysadmin#software#curses
@jlsksr I know of several network or system command line monitors. Unfortunately I'm not aware of one similar for event monitoring for servers that is a CLI. I would love to see one myself.
Hi there, I will be taking, Red Hat Certified System Administrator and Red Hat Certified Engineer Certifications after the summer and am looking for some worthwhile resources to learn from. Anyone have any recommendations for this? I will get access to some “offical” resources from my work later, but want to brush up - up...
