Welp it finally happened. After a successful year on #Fedora #linux my grandmother's computer has rebooted into `emergency mode `
Ran her through the 3 different backup kernels to no avail. She still has Windows on the machine, so I'll be trying to get it repaired remotely through WSL if possible. Sounded like she may have turned it off during a kernel update, but I would've thought the other versions in grub would've fixed it
Any advice as to where I should look for the cause of it dropping to emergency mode, assuming I can get chroot from WSL?

*ugh* Initially read (about) "pwd" (command option on a mailing list); thought that was related to password management.
When a reply mentioned the term "location", then realized that that was actually about current working directory.
So, after wrangling for 2 weeks I switched operating systems.
Finally off of the #Windows train.
Hello #Fedora #Linux on #Wayland!

VirtualBox receives experimental KVM support
In current developer builds of VirtualBox, KVM support appears for the first time. The function is experimental and only available through manual source builds.
New hardware (GMKtec K11 Mini PC) and a new install of Alpine Linux. On this setup, I'm going with the (rolling) Edge repositories + testing.

I just cant get over post from people complaining how terrible Windows is now, and that they cant even access notepad, but yet refuse to move to some other OS. Like, Linux is right there.
#NixOS Update: I've got nearly anything set up. Now I am trying to get #StarCitizen running again. The lug-helper is not usable, because NixOS cannot run "normal" executables. I will now try the flatpak variant and hope it will work.
I still not understand, what the difference between the configuration.nix and flakes is. Are flakes simply module loader? And why are so many NixOS users using Home Manager? What is special about it?

Good morning, Mastodon!
Now that I have completed Bastion, I'm back to playing Silent Hill f on both PC and my Legion Go. Definitely intrigued with what the game has to offer and im in the mood for something spooky.

I have set up my Thunderbird to use plain text and "interleaved, quote under" style, which is also what the Linux Kernel recommends. By default, it doesn't quote at all. I'm sick of throwing huge chunks of HTML back and forth where any long conversation grows into a formatting mess.
Do you have the feeling that #Linux desktop systems are more unstable nowadays? I have the feeling that around 2000 it was very uncommon for the desktop to get stuck, and when that happened it only affected a specific window and not the whole desktop. Now it usually happens that I get the whole desktop and system stuck.
You don't have to be perfect, but every step you take in the right direction helps:
X, Insta, TicToc -> 
https://joinfediverse.wiki/Fediverse_projects
Microsoft -> Install Linux on it
AI -> ask intelligent humans instead, e.g. #AskFedi
Google -> https://noai.duckduckgo.com
GoogleMail -> @Tutanota
iPhone -> jailbreak it, use it until its dead, get a Fairphone with @e_mydata
Amazon video, Disney+, Netflix, Spotify, etc. -> Torrents
Google/Microsoft/Apple calendar -> physical calendar
Zoom -> meet friends IRL, or use @signalapp
Whatsapp -> Signal, or better yet @mollyim
omnivorism -> vegetarianism, veganism, freeganism, flexitarianism, ... (just consume fewer animal products and save food)
car -> public transit, bike, car-sharing
flying -> discover the beauty of your closer surroundings by train
job -> general strike
consumerism -> sufficiency
despair -> collective effectiveness & empowerment

I thought Linux app distribution was weird until I met Mac OS:
The standard way to distribute apps from websites (i.e. not the official store, not homebrew) is to package the app in a disk image (DMG, as it can hold the needed file permissions) then users download it, mount it like a CD from the 90s, then drag it to the applications folder (which, I guess, is how app installing worked since the 90s, but there isn't any hint in the UI explaining that to a first time user). If you open the app from the virtual drive (aka, without installing) it will work in a sandboxed state (seems useful IMHO).
That's weird. Mac OS users say it's simple. It isn't simple. That's fucked up. That's not intuitive at all. Apple surely doesn't care because they have their store.
Someone take my sysadmin license away from me please.

Any Debian folk out there explain why a fresh install of Debian 13 won't run USERMOD, ADDUSER, or CHECK, even though PASSWD is installed?
It must be me, no doubt. This is the second MacBook Pro I have had this problem with.
Thank you.

Knife Cutting the Edge: Disclosing a China-nexus gateway-monitoring AitM framework
Cisco Talos uncovered 'DKnife', a sophisticated gateway-monitoring and adversary-in-the-middle (AitM) framework comprising seven Linux-based implants. Used since 2019, DKnife performs deep-packet inspection, traffic manipulation, and malware delivery via routers and edge devices. It targets various devices, including PCs, mobile devices, and IoT, delivering ShadowPad and DarkNimbus backdoors. The framework primarily targets Chinese-speaking users, with evidence suggesting China-nexus threat actors as operators. DKnife's capabilities include DNS hijacking, Android application update hijacking, Windows binary hijacking, anti-virus traffic disruption, and user activity monitoring. A link to the WizardNet campaign was also discovered, indicating a shared development or operational lineage.

Today I'm playing with my Raspberry Pi 5 16GB, and the new-fangled "AI Hat+ 2". I don't really like docker, but will play along, following the documentation provided, to get a nice "Open WebUI" web interface for the chats:
https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/ai.html#step1-llm
I'm curious if any of the models they provide are any good:
- "deepseek_r1_distill_qwen:1.5b"
- "llama3.2:3b"
- "qwen2.5-coder:1.5b"
- "qwen2.5-instruct:1.5b"
- "qwen2:1.5b"
Can anyone vouch for these models?
RE: https://mastodon.social/@itsfoss/116018939437877311
Is it just me, or has "It's FOSS" lost their way on the "FOSS" part? 
I find it incredibly frustrating for FOSS resources normalizing the use of proprietary tools like Vivaldi and Chrome.
Looking at their recent "Better Linux User" graphic and half of the named options are proprietary (Chrome, Vivaldi). It feels like the brand is becoming a superficial site for Linux-lite rather than a resource for software freedom.
This is not the first time they have done this. Actually, they regularly post articles promoting proprietary tools. Here are a few I found just doing a quick search:
How to Install Opera Browser on Ubuntu: https://itsfoss.com/install-opera-ubuntu/
WPS Office: https://itsfoss.com/wps-office-linux
SoftMaker Office: https://itsfoss.com/softmaker-office/
InSync (Proprietary Google Drive client): https://itsfoss.com/insync-linux-review
How to Install Slack on Ubuntu: https://itsfoss.com/slack-use-linux/
How to Install Microsoft Edge Browser: https://itsfoss.com/microsoft-edge-linux/
They also promote the use of AI tools, like in these articles, which should have no home on the Fediverse:
Generate Linux Commands from English Text Using ChatGPT AI: https://itsfoss.com/linux-terminal-ai/
5 Open-source Local AI Tools for Image Generation: https://itsfoss.com/local-ai-image-tools
Also, that penguin art looks suspiciously like AI generation (I understand, I could be wrong about this). If you look at their recent social media and featured images, I think you can see the shift from human made graphics to AI-generated images with typical artifacts.
It is disappointing to see such a popular presence on the Fediverse prioritize clicks over principles.

NixOS offered ZFS on root out of the box too.
In my case, as an opensuse user on non-servers (specifically its rolling Tumbleweed) - it's a fully manual non-standard install and then very careful upgrades (with locking the kernel version at times), but it's still better than not having ZFS, for the root FS screenshots included.
But yeah, it's a marginal "expert-ish" group within Linux users at all.
