Cool idea - #Xebian - a distribution based on unstable #Debian, polished XFCE with nice minimalist wallpapers + Calamares installer. Just why don't we have it on #distrowatch? Strange...
I'm running testing on my laptop, as I have been for a couple decades. I've been waiting for the t64 transition to settle out before resuming updating packages.
I think the transition is now (mostly?) done, but aptitude is still flummoxed when trying to resolve 1300+ package updates.
I've tried to find small groups of packages that I can manually select and upgrade, but with few exceptions pulling on one of these threads quickly leads to a tangled mess of broken packages.
Any advice for how to tackle this would be most appreciated!
You get spied on by Microsoft, any asshole in the world knows what to do: you get a Distro with a 25 year reputation, an indestructible economy shitbox laptop, you update once a week and that's your base, get me? That's your fortress of fucking solitude. That puts you, for the rest of your life, at a level of fuck you. Somebody wants to install malware, fuck you! Own your laptop. Have a couple flatpaks. Dont drink. That's all I have to say to anybody on any social level." #linux#debian#copilot
If you are curious and courageous, and run #Debian testing or unstable, you might like to try the latest snapshot of #Gajim by @gajim. It features message replies and message reactions.
Expect bugs! This is not a release version, but a snapshot. It's called "experimental" for a reason.
echo "deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/ experimental main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/experimental.list
@LouisIngenthron I have installed four(?) different distros in the last week, and they all went in fine except vanilla #Debian, which I don't know how I screwed it up, but I did. #Ubuntu, #LinuxMint, and #PopOS were all just as easy as #Windows was once upon a time: click "ok" a bunch until you hit a welcome screen. Notably absent was the requirement that I sign into their exclusive service to even use the software.
hmmmmm ... unter #debian lassen sich mit Paket "android-file-tansfer" sehr einfach und schnell Dateien via ISB-Kabel von einem #android-Telefon holen. 👍
if you install #Debian with #XFCE, you get the xfce4-goodies package, which means you get xfburn. LOL, CD burning. I don't even have an optical drive in this machine.
I think maybe #Debian 12 with #XFCE is literally perfect for me. And that's without doing anything in terminals, only clicking around in GUI settings. I didn't even have to install any additional packages.
Wie kann ich in /etc/network/interfaces in #Debian es einstellen, dass auf allen Interfaces #DHCP gemacht wird, auch wenn ich jetzt noch nicht weiß, wie das Interface in Zukunft heißen wird?
Jetzt steht da halt:
iface enp1s0 inet dhcp
Aber auf einer anderen Hardware heißt das Ding ja vielleicht eth0 statt enp1s0...
Also was tun?
Brauch ich ein Startupscript, dass die Config generiert?
And of course, thank you to the free & open source projects & communities of Linux, Debian, and GNOME for many of the improvements we’re shipping in Endless OS 6. We strongly believe in open source, and would not be able to have the impact we do without standing on the shoulders of the projects we build upon. 🧡
I gave up because pipx refuses to install urwid, and I think Debian's version is drumroll way too old. ;)
I wish pipx just had scli. There's an scli package in PyPI, but it's literally an empty placeholder for nothing.
Infuriating.
