Geez, I just updated my @system76 #Gazelle that I bought in 2013 and that's been sitting on a shelf for three years to #Ubuntu 22.04 #LTS (up from 18.04 most recently, but it started life on 13.10, IIRC). Sure, the graphics card is dated after a decade, but the thing still runs. These things are tanks!

I'm putting a shiny new #Serval on my list for an upgrade sometime soon, since it may cost a bit, but these things definitely last long enough to be worth it.

I'm giving up on , it's just too much work! 🤣

Well, with systemd, piperwire, wayland, gnome, etc, that was already kinda true, but you too Linux Foundation?

All I really wanted is to have simple and long-term stable devices in the field.

@gnutelephony I feel this one from both sides. On the one hand, I love the stability of ; it's so stable that unattended-upgrades is possible and trusted. OTOH, as a FLOSS developer, maintaining old branches of things has no enjoyment for me and is not something I would do on something even close to the scale of the voluntarily.

The real problem here is, I think, that there is nobody willing to pay for staffing for .

I wish , & all OSes had official public online calendars for planned stable releases dates, (& ) EOL dates, so we could subscribe to such calendars in apps like / @EvolutionGnome

In we have such links in https://wiki.gnome.org/Schedule ; would be better on the main website.

It should be front & center on projects' websites. It's a planning, QA and marketing tool for users, peripheral contributors, upstreams.

Hier ist ein Totalausfall der Microsoft-Sicherheit beschrieben, ausgenutzt durch russische Hacker. Auch NGOs sollen angegriffen worden sein. Da könnte man ja eigentlich vorschlagen, die Datenkraken zu löschen und gut?

Nicht ganz. Wer sich mal einen Eindruck verschaffen will, in welchem Zustand Windows inzwischen ist: Seit Windows 11 werden Nutzer zu einem 365-Konto genötigt. Der Sinnlos-Browser Microsoft Edge lässt sich selbst mit Aufwand nicht mehr deinstallieren.

Ernsthaft, einfach mal @ubuntu herunterladen und ausprobieren...

Kostet nix und taugt mehr als Windows und kommt dafür in der Fassung mit 5 Jahren Support ab Release...

Ich lese ja via nitter.net bei einigen ausgewählten Accounts immer noch beim X vorbei, und inzwischen bin ich regelmäßig irritiert über so selbstverständliche Dinge, die sie dort nicht haben, wie z.B. >400 Zeichen und einen Edit-Button.

Diese Selbst-Antworten, die nötig sind, um ein Wort oder einen einzigen Buchstaben zu korrigieren, ganz, ganz furchtbar.
Und dann weißt du, dass die nichtmal die Beiträge von Leuten sehen, denen sie folgen, wenn der Algorithmus das anders entscheidet.

kkarhan,

@viel_zu_negativ ...die größten Painpoints ist eher die und andere -Schrott welcher konsequent mit minimalsten Updates nativss bricked, weshalb ich hoffe dass auf oder andere #c-libs umgdstellt wird.

Ansonsten funzt ganz gut - es bräuchte natürlich Feinschliff vgl. / -Integration in .

Ansonsten dürften , & Co. bereits besser unter bedient sein, weil's anders als nicht halbjährlich bricked.

oh, you're a couple? which one of you runs bleeding edge operating system builds and which one of you refuses to update anything?

What is an actually controversial Linux opinion you hold?

kkarhan,

@bitpirate @gamingonlinux
So for any that isn't locked to a specific and -Version if not Hardware (i.e. Version of required proof of eligible System [i.e. HP z-Series] & Supported OS [Subscription] i.e. [ Workstation 5.0]) before you can even purchase any the most stable are those supported by ( + )...

AND i wished this wasn't the case and we'd not have to rely on / to get shit done.

limepot, to random

imagine if i tried to convince a windows user to use linux and the reasoning i gave was "windows is dumb".

kkarhan,

@dushman @limepot that's another benefit, but for the most part, just want shit to work and they don't care what they use....

All they want is being able to get shit done...

And good distros will provide them with ~ 5yrs peace of mind post-release...

Enough so they don't have to care at all...

kkarhan,

@Shinoa @limepot yes and no...

If a company can backport stuff to #EoL Windows like #Windows XP and #Windows7 they certainly can support the major #LTS distros like #RedHat #RHEL / #OracleLinux, #SUSE #SLES / #SLED / #OpenSuse and #Ubuntu #LTS...

And whilst I don't expect every tiny company to do so, I expect it from anyone who wants to see professional IT Equipment,,,

So back on Firefox.

Did an update and got this in @Vivaldi

Your updates can't break things completely. Especially not on the stable branch.

kkarhan,

@fuchsiii @thelinuxcast @Vivaldi yeah, #glibc makes long-term support outside of #LTS distros like #RHEL, #SLES / #SLED, #OracleLinux and #Ubuntu LTS basically impossible unless one is a hardcore #Stallmanist and hates everything not #GPL-licensed and would rather want to see #Users suffer than accept that #CCSS is as valid to exist as #FLOSS...

OK please explain to me the update process. I did apt autoremove nothing is left. When attempting move to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS it still says there are ~50mb to remove from boot. What is stopping the installer/updater to find out what that is and either move it or make /boot bigger? Or take just a little bit of another partition? Or guide me to mount a temp external drive? Or something else?

I've never removed a distro VM faster than with #NixOS.

Never seen something that convoluted, what in satan's name…

kkarhan,

@twoolie @Natanox How about staying with the defaults and not fucking around?
Shit like this like the "Church of [ haters" aka. ] is why didn't already overtook the and dominated it more than it does the market.
People just want to shit work, and who besides a handful of people doesn't want to have the sane defaults?

But yeah, I guess this is why I'll stick with maintainable distros and would rather pay cuz for the $$$$$ they cost they do sth.
