Up to now I’ve made an effort to use cash to not broadcast my every movement to my bank. But as I see cash being phased out around my area I become more motivated to make an effort to contribute to the adoption of crypto, because that’s a potential solution....
I’m new to Crypto-currency system and found Monero only logical way to move forward, if I would want investment I would go to SP500. Seems like for most bitcoiners it’s an investment and not a way to buy-sell, it’s not a currency for them, so what’s point? It becomes ponzi/pyramid scheme that way. Also noticed that...
Bitcoin maxies hate everything. Especially the most prominent competitors. They only embrace enemies of their enemies sometimes promoting even pure scams.
People sometimes need no a reason but a pretext to create a coin fork. After the BTC/BCH split the general concept of chain hard forking was discovered and many pointless forks was created.
NixOS learning curve maybe is not so hard. You can start with default configurations and installed Calamares what is as simple as on other distros. Than look for options and try.
Otherwise, Flatpaks are reproducible (build with flatpak-builder as on Flathub).
I’m sick of all the attempts to whitewash the recent Red Hat move. This makes things only worse. Fedora will not be affected, Alma has a bright future, CentOS is open to all, “rebuilders”, clones…
Since Red Hat made their recent decision, there has been a lot more talk about people wanting to focus on communiy-based distros instead of corporate-backed distros....

I switch between apps from overview or by typing in search, or by sliding between workspaces. It is more convenient to me than classic desktops with a taskbar and minimized windows.
Maybe it’s just a general habit of mine that I keep minimum things open at time and close everything after use: desktop windows, android apps, browser tabs. So I use up to 3-5 dynamic workspaces most of the time.
BTW there was a nice idea behind the only close button in early GNOME 3. Apps were intended to save the state on exit, so one doesn’t need to minimize windows, they can close it and reopen at any time and see the exact content of a window. But GNOME completely has failed to deliver that idea.
What makes things worse, there was no clear way to keep apps on the background when the main window is closed. It was seemed as antifeature. But that was a different world where weren’t so much of internet service applications running on the background 24h a day. Now there is a background portal but with quite minimal support in the DE.
In case you missed it, Red Hat announced they will no longer be providing the means for downstream clones to continue to be 1:1 binary copies of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Very quickly, both Jack and I shared some initial thoughts, but we intentionally took our time deciding the next right step for AlmaLinux OS. After much...
I don’t believe it will work. To do so it requires to maintain their own repository of RPM specs for a stable release distro. In this case Alma will became an active independent distro downstream to Fedora and CentOS Stream, and could steal the focus from RHEL. I don’t think RH will allow that. Not to say I requires significant effort and Alma is a small community funded project. It’s to good to be true and I have skepticism about the positive attitude of the blog post.
I guess RH tries to “embrace” Alma and Rocky as it was with CentOS.
I think RedH at will fight in any case. Independent alternatives are more dangerous for them than clones. If Alma becomes full-fledged downstream of Fedora it could offer features not presented in RHEL. They also can push those features through the Fedora upstream and it be useful for many people. It is like to have Debian as an alternative to Ubuntu LTS. But I don’t think RH will be glad as it can lead to forking RHEL off their own ecosystem. RH keeps control over the Fedora restricting them to seek independence funding. That why I don’t believe in such future of Alma but I’ll be glad if I’m wrong.
But to be fair, openSUSE was my first linux distro after Windows and YaST had been helpful to me before I learned how to use console commands. And then I switched to another distro.
That’s right, I don’t see anything wrong with federating with Threads, at least for now. I believe doing so can help the fediverse go mainstream. Meta can’t access personal data in other instances by design anyway.
I am currently using Linux Mint (after a long stint of using MX Linux) after learning it handles Nvidia graphics cards flawlessly, which I am grateful for. Whatever grief I have given Ubuntu in the past, I take it back because when they make something work, it is solid....
I use flatpaks mostly. Flatpak dependencies (runtimes) are stored separately from the host system so and don’t bloat my system with unwanted libraries and binaries. App data and configs are stored separately and better organized. Everything runs in sanboxes. I use overrides extensively. All these are very convenient for me.
Hello! I’m thinking about switching from my beloved fedora to a rolling release distro, because it really intrigues me, but I’m a bit scared of Arch, it’s still too soon for me to go down this rabbit hole XD...
There are more idealistic people in the community that technical. It is hard to discus technical blockchain things: consensus, state, contracts, zkp and how those could be useful for the further improvements of the protocol and the ecosystem. The development is slow as the result with a lack of community vision about the future of the protocol. The situation is slowly changes as the coin gains more popularity.

Choice on Linux is a JOKE. Here's why. (onion.tube)
Linux users brag about all the choice they have, but most of those choices are just flat out bad. This might anger old fogies.
