🐧 I wrote a new blog entry listing all the changes I made to turn the Lenovo Yoga 370 into my mobile GNU/Linux digital painting device. It's long because it contains detailed instructions for beginners. I hope it is helpful.
For Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we want to recognize the work being done on accessibility by @matt as part of the @gnome Foundation. He is the lead for @accesskit and is currently working on Newton, a Wayland-oriented solution for assistive technologies that can modernize accessibility on the Linux desktop!
ThinkPad + Fedora is a killer combo, and it couldn't get any easier than having Fedora installed right out of the box.
You can get the latest ThinkPad X1 Carbon with Fedora Workstation straight from Lenovo! Buying in this way communicates to Lenovo that there is demand, so it helps a ton.
The Framework Laptop 16 will have in-house support and installation guides for Fedora! With its AMD CPU and GPU you will be teed up for success on Linux.
:fedora_old: It’s Fedora's 20th Anniversary and the start of Fedora Appreciation Week! :fedora:
Join us in celebrating 20 amazing years of the Fedora Project and the incredible community behind it. Throughout this week, we’ll be sharing inspiring contributor stories, photos, and more.
Earlier today at #almalinux we patched CVE-2023-38403 in iperf3 and released it prior to anyone else in the EL-ecosystem. We promptly submitted PRs with #centos and #fedora.
A lot was learned during this process so we can nail down the processes of doing our own patches while contributing upstream and ultimately deliver on our promises from https://almalinux.org/blog/future-of-almalinux/
After 2+ years of work she's ready for Beta. (Re)Announcing https://projectbluefin.io - our take at the next generation #linux desktop. Built on #fedora with Universal Blue.
We're striving to build the world's best cloud native developer workstation (and she's great for general usage too). She has a mission and a purpose. Find me at #KubeCon for the demo on my #framework. Tell a friend! (reshares appreciated!)
And I've got a Surface build just for you @squillace
Hello Fediverse! 👋 We're Universal Blue, a cloud native approach to building and delivering custom images of Fedora Atomic (Silverblue and friends).
We believe there is an opportunity to change the paradigm for how we consume and develop the Linux desktop by using everything we know about cloud infrastructure.
Our images are examples of what you can do, from staying close to stock (UBlue Main) to doing your own thing (Bluefin and Bazzite)!
It's my daughter's second birthday! I setup Sugar Labs on an old laptop MacBook Air. The laptop had a broken keyboard so I bought her a cheap fun keyboard and mouse combo.
Sugar Labs is neat, it's got a simple UI which will help her learn how to navigate and a few simple programs for her to play with. It has a simple Python IDE but it might be a little while until she's ready to play with that. It has a web browser too so I might setup some custom Home Assistant dashboards so she can change the lights, control her train, etc. And I'll see if I can setup Signal or alike so she can call her grandparents.
I remember playing on our family Amstrad CPC when I was 4yo. It came with BASIC and it was my first exposure to coding. I want my daughter to have the opportunity to be a creator of tech instead of just a consumer of tech.
LINUX community, we are looking at the problem of Flatpak'ing applications that require a system daemon to run or a new udev rule to be installed. I hope anyone reading this can reply with examples of this they know of so that we can understand the corner cases. #linux#fedora
Someone please tell me screen reader support isn’t broken on the major Linux distributions like Fedora and Ubuntu that ship Wayland as default.
(I can’t get the modifier key for Orca to work under the latest Fedora Silverblue and, according to the linked issue, it’s because… it just doesn’t work under Wayland? That can’t be right, right? It would mean the major Linux distributions are inaccessible.)
Wow, OK, so I wasn’t missing anything. It looks like the only available screen reader on major Linux distributions is broken and has been for some time.
Lack of accessibility not being a show stopper for an operating systems blows my mind.
We’re talking about distributions like Ubuntu and Red Hat Enterprise Linux with enterprise customers (aren’t there some accessibility laws that apply here? 🤔)
