"'[…] This seems to be a regular-sized release, maybe even slightly on the smaller side. All the stats look fairly normal […]
We don't have any new filesystems, and the xfs online repair work means that the bcachefs fixes aren't even the biggest filesystem change any more. But all of that is dwarfed by all the usual driver updates […]
It's surprisingly difficult to find options for laptops shipping #Fedora or any other supported non-ChromeOS flavor of #Linux from the #Lenovo website.
it is very close to AntiX (of which it derived) so same tips usually work
in the end it’s not different from what you could get of Debian but it’s a good set of presets to start from quickly to get a lightweight XFCE (my choice) or LXDE desktop
it is really great to salvage old hardware you feel like trashing on Mac OS as they get slower / unsupported
i have been asked to explain #Linux: it's a fork of #Google#Android intended for virtualized use on #Apple#macOS and #Microsoft#Windows desktops, although lately it's seen some uptake in datacenter applications
I’ve been doing some scouring and my search results are coming back confusing. Usually either incomplete information, or some kind of sales spam, so I’m reaching out in the hopes of recommendations for actual linux users and fans. I am looking for a very small, tiny even, security/privacy focused distro. I don’t mind doing...
I’m sick of Windows, and especially what it’s become, and the way its trending looks like it will only get worse. I’ll be building a brand new PC this summer and want to choose a Linux Distro instead. In preparation, I’d like to try out a virtual machine with a Linux distribution. I am solidly familiar with Ubuntu, but I...
clean install: you make a backup, nuke the computer, install a fresh upgraded copy of the distro you want from a live usb, copy your data again to the computer....
hey #linux users on the fediverse, is there a way to tile windows on KDE Plasma 6? I've seen some stuff about Bismuth but it doesn't look like it's functional anymore, is there anything similar?
If you are attempting to try out a #Linux desktop for the first time because you've had enough of Microsoft's shit but are feeling a need to scream in order to express just how frustratingly weird and annoying this operating system is...
I'm here for you. I promise to do my best to both validate your emotions and guide you towards the knowledge you need to be free.
@jpaskaruk and for anyone getting into Linux, remember that any desktop that you like and which works for you is perfectly fine, and don't let anyone pressure you into using a different one unless you're curious about others.
@jpaskaruk that being said, also don't be afraid to try new desktop environments! I didn't know how much I would love a tiling window manager until I installed and booted up #Hyprland!
Looking up guides on how to install wine can vary. Some say, “sudo apt install wine” and others have you install the 32 and 64bit versions. My machine is 64 bit, but some guides tell you to enable 32bit....
Tbh I am a messy person, I trained myself to be organized but I still struggle to not lose my keys and I want something like the apple tag but FOSS, I’ve thought of an ESP32 or ATTINY with a bluetooth module but I don’t think apple uses that? It has to be durable and friendly with LineageOS, samsung stock and my dad lol.
