Installed #Ubuntu 12.04 on this ThinkPad a while back, then upgraded it to 14.04. I wonder if it can go all the way through 16.04, 18.04, 20.04, 22.04 and successfully end up on 24.04...
I need to specify my preferences for a work station setup. I have been using Kubuntu for both my professional and personal machines for the last 7 years, so I'd been thinking of getting a Dell laptop and installing Kubuntu. I would just accept that things like Outlook and Teams would only work in the browser, and that I may have to use a virtual machine in the rare cases that I really need to run something on Windows.
However, I am now considering a MacBook, instead. An advantage would be that all my employer's office software would just run, while the OS is still Unix-like. Potential disadvantages include 1) having to get used to a new OS, 2) maybe having less freedom?, and 3) all my external hard drives with backups and data from earlier projects are using the ext4 file system, and I hear that macOS doesn't like that.
Are there any people out there who have experience using both Linux and macOS, and can share some insights on which they prefer and why? Thanks!
~ Twenty years ago, I used Kino on BrownBuntu to capture our honeymoon video footage from the Maldives using a Sony Handycam. I should probably edit that video at some point...

I think I've whinged here before about my difficulties with #Shotwell after switching from #Ubuntu to #Debian. Well, I've fixed it, and I've published a gist in case anyone wants to do the same.
Je suis assez déçue du comportement de Canonical (Ubuntu) et leur manière de forcer à utiliser leur propre store en rendant beaucoup plus complexe l'installation de fichiers qui devraient s'installer en un double clic (cf https://news.itsfoss.com/ubuntu-24-04-disappointment/), du coup j'essaye Linux Mint.
We continue advancing with the development of our VPN client that will be available within Midori web browser, this is a short video about how it works.
I installed the PPA of LibreOffice because the Snap version is garbage. However, thankfully, the other Snaps I use aren't terrible. I will continue to vary the ways I install programs, using the best versions of each. As this is a good way to approach installing software on Ubuntu!
1/4 Accéder à une grosse collection musicale (MP3 et FLAC) stockée sur serveur distant depuis #Linux#Ubuntu ?
J'ai 280 Go d'albums, accumulés depuis des années. Au départ fichiers stockés sur disque local, puis sur Google Music Manager (c'était avant Youtube Music), puis migrés sur le Onedrive de Microsoft, et maintenant sur le kDrive d'Infomaniak.
Comment j'y accède "simplement" (le plus simplement possible en tout cas !), depuis mon ordi perso... et aussi depuis mon smartphone ?
I was watching a video on YouTube about VR design when in the middle, a couple of frames showed an Irssi screenshot of some #ubuntu channels from around 2008. Weird.
