Two keychains showing Sanrio characters Tuxedo Sam and Badz Maru. The former is a friendly, cute-looking penguin wearing a bowtie and hat. The latter is a "not amused"-faced one.
@RaymondPierreL3 Agree, but I'm far from "there are alternatives". Alternatives for whom? #Linux?
Person that is happy to compile a kernel and webcam drivers to make the most basic things work somehow until they break again with next release? Been there, ran #Gentoo on all my machines and #Ubuntu on relatives for ~decade.
Would not choose to do it again. Time is the ultimate finite resource of mine and I'd rather have "works ok-ish now" than "could work eventually if I spend more time on it".

My first company, Opera, was built on word of mouth. The same applies to my 2nd company, @Vivaldi. We have never had the means that Big Tech has. In the case of Vivaldi, we have even avoided investors, to not end up like Opera.
We have also made it harder for our selves. We likely could have generated more funds through adding stuff like Crypto, AI or just plain old data collection in the browser, but we choose not to. We are also not an Ad company like most of our larger competitors. Instead we have added a wealth of features and customization.
Now people are starting to understand that just going with Big Tech may be easy to start with, but ends up not being worth it. In fact we now have governments and companies thinking that they need to move away from Big Tech and quickly.
We welcome you all.

I find it quite funny that while people moving from Windows to #linux struggle with their apps not working, I have the opposite problem, when using Windows my favourite linux apps don't work or don't work well.
update: it did not work.
I'll try flashing a version of Linux I'm more familiar with, next.

Linux Phone update:
I messed around trying to flash Mobian (mobile Debian) on my PinePhone, but I got a flashing light error code, and could not find any documentation for error codes in TowBoot.
"But, Edward!", you say, "If lack of documentation stopped your project, why not see if the famously excellent Arch Wiki can solve it?!"
Well, I tried that too!
And what happened is - I now have a snappy responsive Linux phone running Arch!

Here's some #vintage #tech for you. This is the Data General Nova 2. These 16-bit #minicomputers were very popular in the 1970s. Coincidentally this #photo was taken in the office of my last job, the #basement of a #government #research facility. I didn't take the photo but the link to the post is below.
I spent just over two years here managing #Linux and #Solaris servers. My #cubicle was just around the corner from these #machines, below flickering fluorescent lights. Exactly what you'd expect from working in the basement of a government building.
While these systems haven't been in use for decades and should have been in a museum, they were still on the books and inventoried annually. 🤦♂️

Preparing a laptop to give to a friend to introduce them to Linux. They want to run a custom software package they’re used to at work, but they only know Linux as the OS running cryptic commands from Windows PuTTY.
My hope is that they will enjoy using Linux. I’ve been daily driving Linux for 20 years, so I forgot what new users like. What distro should I pick? For compatibility with their work program it must be Debian-based.

Noget jeg synes er rigtig fedt ved Linux, er jeg får lyst til at lege og eksperimentere.
I weekenden begyndte jeg at "rode med computere" - primært for at få lidt mere fart & fut i min gamle Acer-bærbar fra 2012.
Mange timer senere endte jeg med XFCE (Linux Mint) og har nu XFCE på min Acer Aspire OG min Lenovo Thinkpad fra 2015.

Hey #Linux-side of Fedi,
I had toyed around a little with WLMaker and WindowMaker lately, and while I have set it aside for now, I have been thinking...
Are there any other Desktop Environments out there that are "unique" in some way, or could even be described as "novelty DEs", that y'all could recommend?
Ideally ones with HiDPI support, as 2440x1920 on 13 inches tends to make stuff look really small without a bit of scaling.
Linux audio help? I’ve never tried a toot like this before, and maybe no one will even see it, but worth a try…
I have a lot of FLAC files, mostly ripped from my CD collection, though recently, as better than CD quality files have become more available, I sometimes do buy album downloads.
Anyway, I would like to copy a bunch of tracks to my phone to listen to on shuffle, but they have varying volume levels. I tried copying some to a folder on my Debian workstation, from recent Kpop (very loud) to New Wave ripped from CDs that I bought in the ‘80s (very quiet), and everything in between. I then ran normalize-audio on them, which did, indeed, normalize the volume levels nicely.
It also stripped out all existing tags such as Artist and Title.
Does anyone have any suggestions for normalizing the volume while retaining the existing metadata? Thanks in advance for any tips! (And boosts are welcome.)

"Artists and technical staff had broad access to both personal workspaces and shared production directories. The studio's animation pipeline at the time ran across a network of Unix and Linux machines holding hundreds of thousands of production files."

Where to get tips and advice for someone new to linux
I would class myself as reasonably computer literate but have always used windows (since win95 so that dates me). I’m looking to get used to Linux and have stuck mint onto an old notebook to get used to the system.
We’ve been up and running for a couple of months now and I’ve got the basics going but I’m starting to collect questions on how to do this, best ways to achieve that etc, in times past there would probably be a good forum community I could start posting on to learn but I don’t know where to go these days.
Where do you take your open questions to, to learn and improve.
Why Drawing Tablet Brands Won't Collaborate on Linux FLOSS Drivers
After investigation; Gaomon, XpPen, and Huion won't collaborate on open-source drivers because of outdated naming conventions. Here's what I learned from direct contact with their technical teams, and what I plan to do to move forward.

Okay, #lazyfedi: I like NixOS, and my battery life is somehow better than on Arch, but the differences from a standard system are killing me.Also I'm a little worried about Arch, given I extensively used the AUR and it recently got pwned pretty hard. I like the rolling aspect of Arch, though! What distribution should I drop on my Framework 13 (and, soon, 13 Pro) next, friends? Is Arch actually okay again? Is there another distro that I might dig, or am I just hosed?
Bei Software aus dem AUR gehen die Meinungen stark auseinander. Die kürzlichen Angriffe auf das Community-verwaltete Verzeichnis geben aber sicher allen zu denken. Ein Überblick und wie ich an Software-Installation herangehe:

#linux im Bildungsbereich:
- Klett Lernen läuft in der aktuellen Version nicht mehr mit WINE
- GeoGebra Suite gibt's nicht als Programm für Linux, die PWA läuft nicht uneingeschränkt offline
- außer Westermann hat KEIN Verlag eine Linux-App
- keine Wörterbuch - App
Mit Goldendicct und Wörterbüchern von freemdict kann man sich ein super Wörterbuch zusammenbasteln, nur legal ist das nicht.
Man kämpft da gegen Windmühlen, es ist traurig.
