In the entire history of computing, there has never been a more important time to teach people about #Linux than right now.
(And never a worse time for me not to be doing @Linux4Everyone -- so I hope my fellow YouTube and content creators will double down and show people the light!)
@killyourfm@Linux4Everyone@kevinctofel All the teaching in the world can’t make the average person understand Linux. If you don’t want Recall come to macOS, there’s a store nearby where they’ll answer all your questions 🙂
@PenguinToot@Linux4Everyone@kevinctofel macOS is certainly a good alternative to Windows, but I have to disagree with you. Many Linux distributions have made dramatic improvements towards usability and intuitive UI. (Many have not). Of course, neither of us can speak for every “average person” on the planet, but I know non-technical people from pre-teens all the way to elderly folk who use and understand Linux just fine.
Suggest some beginner-friendly resources for learning about Linux kernel features like LSM (SElinux, Yama Landlock, Lockdown), Netfilter, eBPF, Cgroups, Namespaces, and KVM :D
I'm interested in hearing about any #Linux projects that are targeting #sustainability ping me if you know of anything. Stuff like this from KDE etc https://eco.kde.org/
@concretedog@fershad Hmm Most on the Software Sustainability Work I know is focused on the web and cloud. And to be honest the field is still in its early stages: e.g. there is “Blauer Engel” a German certificate for sustainable and environmentally friendly products. They added a category for software last year and here’s the complete list https://www.blauer-engel.de/de/produktwelt/ressourcen-und-energieeffiziente-softwareprodukte
Partly because nobody knew how to define or measure sustainability for SW
@concretedog@fershad You sort of see this also in different research groups focusing on SW sustainability. A lot of them are still working on benchmarking and measurement systems e.g. https://s2group.cs.vu.nl/pages/software/
But if you find something let me know. I’m interested as well :)
