[$] Modernizing swapping: the end of the swap map https://lwn.net/Articles/1057102/ #tech #linux
#Proton abandoned their @protonprivacy mastodon account. And they're ignoring #Linux OS support in their products. I don't know who their target audience is.
Looking at a European VPN provider. Too bad not many make it clear which OS's they support. Without Linux support they're not useful for me.
Hat wer eine Ahnung, wo ich noch mehr Themes etc. herbekommen kann für Linux Mint?
Gibt es irgendwelche "seriöse" Homepages etc? Innerhalb von Linux Mint kann man ja schon zwischen manchen auswählen, aber ich hätte gerne eine größere Auswahl. Vor allem da viele der vorgegebenen Themes, die man installieren könnte, gar keine Anpassung für alles haben (Ordner, Explorer etc.).
Critical React Native Metro dev server bug under attack
A critical vulnerability in React Native's Metro development server is being actively exploited to deliver malware to Windows and Linux machines. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2025-11953, allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands through OS command injection. Researchers discovered exploitation attempts as early as December, with attacks disabling Microsoft Defender protections and delivering a Rust-based payload with anti-analysis features. Despite its severity and ongoing exploitation, the vulnerability has not received widespread public acknowledgment. The bug affects the React Native Community command line tool, a popular npm package with millions of weekly downloads, highlighting the potential impact on developer tooling and the need for increased awareness and security measures.

Uff... Linux Mint auf meinem alten MacBook zu installieren war ein Kinderspiel. Boot-Stick erstellen, installieren, fertig.
Das ganze auf dem alten Acer-Laptop (Windows 10) meines Mannes ans Laufen zu kriegen hat mich ganz schön Zeit und Nerven gekostet. Aber ich glaube jetzt läuft es endlich...!
#linux
Wenn ich mir Fernsehprogramme anschaue - dann nur noch über das Internet.
Unter #Linux problemlos - soweit meine Erfahrung.
Die Unterstützung von Windows mit dem ganzen Hardware Treiber Gedöns ...
... mit - neues Windows keine Treiber mehr - das ging mir sowas auf den Keks ...
Okay, heres a question for the #linux crowd from a newby:
What are the different methods of installing stuff?
Ive seen that there is .deb, .appimage, .tar.xz, etc...
Is there a good page that describes the different methods i need to use with each one?
Ich habe die letzten Monate auf #linuxmint gezockt.
Zocke jetzt seit ca. 2Wochen auf #Linux #bazzite
Hatte erst kurz noch gezögert, da Arch und nicht Debian, aber alles Top.
Das System ist noch mal ein richtiger Gamechanger. Allein schon was Optik und Bedienung angeht. Manche Sachen wirken einfach schon durchdachter oder einfach nur angenehmer auf mich.
Auch #worldofwarcraft zu installieren mit #battlenet über #steam ist kein Problem mehr.

This one'as a mixed bag, kids: Gaming on Linux, Affordable Housing...ya know...stuff. [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
My day was pretty much a wash. Got up late, made a small store run, and played a Yesterday, I got City of Heroes: Homecoming up and running on my Minty fresh laptop via Lutris. I really need to throw some money their way. Their gaming platform for Linux is a real labor of love. I installed CoH via an install script on their site. It opens Lutris on your system (asking permission to do so, of course), Lutris runs the script, and about 20 minutes or so later, I'm creating my first Hero. Fucking Laundry will have to be done tomorrow. On the really good news front: My small, very old apartment complex was recently bought. This initially distressed me, because with the way things go in this town, either a) our rents would get jacked up to market value, or b) The complex would be razed to the ground and some new "luxury" whatevers would be built on the site. Nope. We have been purchased by a non-profit called the Pathway Housing Fund. They are dedicated to maintaining affordable housing throughout Tennessee. We got to meet the rep who will be in charge of our property this evening, and he assured us their goal was to keep our rents below market value. They are keeping our awesome property managers and handyman on staff as well. This is huge. These folks have been so integral in making this a better community. Looks like my tiny apartment is going to be home for a good while longer, and that is fine by me.

What Adobe is doing with the cancellation of Animate should be illegal. Animators are livid atm.
Unfortunately most foss tools aren't as good as Animate to replace it (no, Grease Pencil doesn't quite do the same and Krita/Synfig/Pencil2d/OpenToonz aren't as feature-rich), but Moho is an excellent piece of software. First created for the #BeOS back in 1999, I remember using it back then. In 2007 it even had a #Linux version.

Moho on BeOS back in the day. Now the app is leaps and bounds more feature-rich.

DID YOU KNOW?
Without Linux, we wouldn’t have Git. When the Linux team lost free access to their management tool, BitKeeper, in 2005, Linus Torvalds built his own replacement in just weeks. That tool now powers almost every major coding platform. Linux didn’t just give us an operating system; it built the foundation for how the world collaborates on code.

I don't distro hop much these days. For the last 6 years or so I've been on @pop_os_official with it's Gnome DE. Its a system I'm comfortable with. Today I successfully upgraded to @system76 new release, 24.04 LTS with a Cosmic DE. This was a painless upgrade for me.
Have to say, its a very clean and fresh looking desktop environment. I like it. Nowhere near the amount of customization that KDE has, but at first glance its going to suit me well. I prefer things familiar and simple. Thanks to the developers.

Ein älteres Apple-Notebook, auf welchem Linux Mint läuft.
I always feel torn between two worlds with my primary laptops. Either I'm optimizing my tiling and keyboard navigation experience on my Thinkpad or trying to create a smoother touchscreen tablet environment on my Surface. I usually only take one when I travel for work and feel weird trying to get back into using the other later.

I just learned that Ubuntu automatically disables all repositories except the Ubuntu official one when you upgrade it. WTF. (Apparently there's a little note it passes to you, but still.)
Thanks, but no. If I added a repository I want to manage it myself.
I like the Ubuntu Studio project, but I'm going back to Debian next time I need to make changes to my system. The excessive hand-holding, it is not for me.

Sudo maintainer, handling utility for more than 30 years, is looking for support
https://www.theregister.com/2026/02/03/sudo_maintainer_asks_for_help/
The last year I’ve been making a conscious effort to pivot away from proprietary/american tech, for a mix of reasons. I’m increasingly worried about #privacy, data collection, data sovereignity, that kind of things. Not wanting to have more or less my entire life stored on servers inside american privacy and data laws jurisdiction. Wanting to support #european tech. And, where possible, a preference for open source #foss #floss #libre software. I’ve been quite in the «apple fanboy» category for the last 20+ years, and deeply buried in the whole iCloud ecosystem. Partly because of Apple’s traditional stance on privacy, and the whole «if a service is free, you’re the product» thing. I used to look forward to #apple event keynotes like others do to football matches. The last handful of iterations of #macOS, #iOS, macs and iPhones has sparked steadily decreasing amounts of enthusiasm from me though. Anyway, the last year has seen me replace most iCloud services with @protonprivacy , my macbook pro with a @tuxedocomputers infinitybook pro running #linux, and my iPhone with a #Fairphone 6 running @murena /e/OS. And a patchwork of other services and apps to replace what I used to have. Here's a summary, and some questions to others. 1/n

Henry the Frog from Animal Crossing Pocket Camp is wearing a blue plaid flannel shirt and holds a mochi treat. He wears a dreamy expression as he sits on a tatami bench beside my avatar (a girl with a brown ponytail wearing a wool peacoat and brown-framed glasses, holding a to-go coffee cup). I am also staring off into the distance with a self-pleased, dreamy expression. We are surrounded by vibrant pink azaleas and a grassy background.

Asensin viime vuoden puolella Heroiciin ilmaisen Hogwarts Legacy -pelin. Aiemmin peli lähmäsi ihan kunnolla taistelukentällä ja pelkäsin, että GPU oli syypää tähän JA HDD-levy.
Nyt peli on siirretty SSD:lle ja äsken pääsin testaamaan peliä taistelukentällä ja nyt se toimii smoothisti, mitään ongelmaa edes ollutkaan.
Onni on uusi SSD-levy

Any GUI Linux directory comparison tools that work?
I tried KDIFF3, it crashes partway through comparison. I understand that v1.10 has a bug and crashes when a directory has symlinks in it, as my home folder does.
I tried KDIFF3 v1.12 via the abomination called Flatpak, but it also crashes partway through scanning.
I tried MELD, it just hangs there "scanning" but uses no CPU and is doing nothing...
Ideas?

To backup Home directory or anything else, someone just recommended me a GNOME app with a very nice GUI.
I am going to try it soon. Their webpage looks nice and they list what the app does:
- Create backups locally and remotely
- Set a schedule for regular backups
- Save time and disk space because Pika Backup does not need to copy known data again
- Encrypt your backups
- List created archives and browse through their contents
- Recover files or folders via your file browser

Ok, #Linux people! I’ve pretty much decided on my distro (CachyOS since my pc is only used for gaming), but I’m not sure what desktop environment to use. I’m not particularly fussed about getting a Mac-like or Windows-like environment (honestly, I think I’d like something completely different so I don’t get frustrated when it DOESN’T act like the OS it looks like), but I’d like to know what people are using and why.

Sain tuossa SSD levyn käsiini ja @rolle laittoi sen koppaan. Nyt siirtelen tiedostoja uuteen levyyn. Vanhasta tulee varasto.
Sit oon myös vähän askarrellut omaa työpöytä widgettiä tähän KDE Plasmaan. Askartelu jatkunee huomenna.
Debian alkaa vähän jo näyttää samalta kuin CachyOS. Vielä riittää työtä ja testaamista. Kivaa se on ja kivaa kun on tekemistä.
