So, #Signal doesn't officially work on #Linux on #ARM, and it has no web client. What are people on #Asahi doing? I could try compiling it myself, but I really don't feel like maintaining my own package for such a complex node/electron monstrosity...
Il mio #LinuxDay2023 passato a insegnare fedora agli hacker cinquenni di casa su un laptop che ha quasi il triplo dei loro anni (abbigliamento scelto da loro, nessuna posa! 😄)
I'd like to write migration scripts to move data from the old laptop to the new one. It would move #flatpak app data over, reinstall flatpaks there, move #Toolbx containers, perhaps desktop settings, too.
But maybe something like that already exists and I don't have to start from scratch. Any idea?
@chris you’re making me tempted to try Pop_OS! Virtualbox is having issues with the #fedora 38 kernel so I really haven’t used my machine for a week or so.
Use @Cockpit to manage remote systems with a graphical user interface - without needing to install Cockpit on the remote systems themselves! (The secret is Python.) #Fedora#Cockpit#Python#Linux
I'll take a look at those three in VirtualBox for now to get a feeling for them.
Although Endeavor already left me with a black cursor on a black background during installation which is not exactly the best first impression ^^’
My dislike for Red Hat goes years back, when they screwed me over, as a paying customer.
The fact that they've also snubbed their nose at the open source community is just 1 in a long list of reasons why I do not use, or trust, Red Hat products and services.
Fedora is the upstream to Red Hat. You end using their free product (Fedora) as a glorified alpha/beta tester, so they can improve their Cent OS Stream branch, which then is used to improve, Red Hat.
Alrighty, we got a few neat things to share today.
First, welcome @ultramarine to the Fediverse! They are a Fedora-based distro similar to Nobara. They aim to be an (even more) 'just works' type of distro, so check them out and give them a follow! (1/3)
From the days when DVDs were still a thing. We ordered up to 10k DVDs for each #Fedora#Linux release and had them shipped to our office.
This picture is exactly 10 years old.
I bought a larger SSD to move my laptop to #Fedora#Silverblue (might later decide to use one of the derivatives, once it's just a "rebase and try it out" operation).
Can I choose XXHASH while installing Silverblue? I'd prefer a still fast, but more collision-resistant hash than CRC32C.
If I do btrfs, then I have to decide how to do space management. I'd kind of like at least to separate space utilization for / and /home (well, /var/home on Silverblue). Maybe /var/containers too.
Is the norm to have one big filesystem with subvolumes here, or to create multiple btrfs filesystems on separate devices?
Maybe I'm being a control freak and I should just make one big filesystem for / and lean into subvolumes for snapshots?
For VMs, are qcow2 files on btrfs actually a good way to go? This is a laptop, so VMs are not normally running, I just need to spin them up occasionally.
This week was pretty eventful! #Linux passed 4% market share on the desktop (more than 6% if you count ChromeOS), #Fedora decided to drop the X11 session for their #GNOME variant (but only for Fedora 41), and the European Union just wrecked Apple and curbed their malicious compliance to the Digital markets Act on the AppStore.
Meiner Meinung nach wird in der Open-Source Szene die IT-Sicherheit nicht versprochen, sondern meistens rasch umgesetzt und frei verteilt. Auch wenn das hier nun anders ist.
»Linux – root-Lücke wird aktiv missbraucht:
Die IT-Sicherheitsbehörde CISA warnt vor aktiven Angriffen auf eine Linux-Lücke. Angreifer verschaffen sich damit root-Rechte.«
I decided to try building #FreeCAD from source. I used a F39 toolbox on my #Fedora 40 #Silverblue and installed the prereqs; most from packages, but pyside2 from pip (inside the toolbox) since it hasn't been packaged in Fedora for years. The segfault I'm getting from libshiboken isn't illuminating to me. I could imagine a missing dependency on a package causing a segfault, or maybe no one is building FreeCAD on Fedora and it just doesn't work on F39. 🤔
Not clear that I'm close enough to the beaten path for this to be worth a bug report, though. Quite likely PEBCAK...
