Ich muss mal die #Linux Bubble um Hilfe bitten: gibt es einen Weg einen alten Apfel Laptop (MacBook Air) mit M1 Chip aus 2020 zu befreien? Hab mir über EtchDroid einen bootable USB stick mit Kubuntu drauf erstellt, aber der Stick an sich wird nicht erkannt..
Hab von Apfel keine Ahnung, wäre auch für Tipps und Ideen sehr dankbar 
If you haven't tried #Linux operating system during the last decade, you should definitely try it. Get a #ThinkPad or another supported device and give it a shot. Maybe you don't need #WindowsEleven at all.
As a daily Arch user, I’m usually skeptical of 'eye candy' prioritizing form over function. But the #Hyprland trend finally got to me.
Spun it up in a VM to isolate the chaos. Honest verdict: It’s not just distinct visuals; the fluidity actually improves spatial context in the workflow. It feels like a genuine modernization of the Tiling WM paradigm, not just a flashy skin.
Might be time to refactor my dotfiles...

Попалось на глаза интервью с Matthew Dillon основателем #dragonflybsd. https://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2022/258/Distro-Walk-DragonFly-BSD
В нём встретил отличную формулировку, которую я на 100% разделяю, относительно пути Linux (ядра).
Over time, though, Linux, DragonFly, and FreeBSD all came to nearly the same place. Not quite the same – Linux focuses a lot more on the ultimate performance, but its kernel mechanisms are considerably more fragile because of that.

KDE Linux: 62% pe drumul către versiunea beta – o nouă eră pentru distribuția oficială a comunității KDE

I've got bored and put #Debian with #KDE #Plasma on my laptop 😆
I'm using a cherry-picked distraction-free environment based on #niri and #ArchLinux on my PC and used similar setup on my laptop before. Nobody except me is able to use it (fully keyboard driven, no title bars, no apps' chrome) but sometimes somebody else needs to use my computer. I'm not gonna evangelize anybody to start using #Linux but it doesn't mean I want to make bad PR for my favorite OS by showing my friends my super-hard-to-use custom environment. Not having to worry if I configured everything correctly, before going for business trip, is also an extra perk!
I must say, I'm impressed by the current state of (not really current, it's Debian) KDE and Debian. Everything I need just works, and many stuffs I never bothered properly configuring on the custom environment work too!
I'm lucky enough to have 2 computers and I like having both Debian and Arch, because they are complementary. Debian gives me stability, so I have one machine I can always trust and which never surprises me, but is a little bit boring in result. And the other machine is where I'm getting all fresh features I'm reading about in news and I can unleash my inner control freak and ricer on it.
I want to develop software on the go. In the metro, bus, cars. I'm looking at a lot of alternatives like having a mini #Linux #handheldPC, a setup with a computer in my bag with a keyboard and #AR glasses, using my phone to code on #githubworkspaces. I'm already keyboard first so I could potentially work on #nvim in a terminal but I also love #jetbrains IDE and I'm fine with #VScode. I would like feedback from other devs that achieved that goal. I want to know what setup you have and how comfortable it is. My ultimate setup might be that AR glasses one maybe, the github workspaces are unusable on my small phone. The handheld PC looks nice for how easy it would be to start but looks uncomfortable. IDK. I've been thinking about it for a while.
I've added a page of software recommendations to my website: https://aten.cool/software.html
I often find that I post on Mastodon either asking for recommendations or recommending software myself. This can be helpful, but these conversations are ephemeral. I also sometimes want to post «I'm having fun using Geany!» or something similar, but that doesn't feel worthy of a post on its own.

Did you know that Wi-Fi 7 is not technically the same thing as Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7?
It is important to understand the difference between "Wi-Fi 7" and "Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7" when shopping for networking hardware. Wi-Fi 7 (or the non-hyphenated WiFi 7) is a marketing term for IEEE 802.11be. This label is often applied to "pre-standard" or "draft" hardware. While these devices utilize 802.11be technology, they are not strictly required to implement all of the features to use the name.
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7 is the official designation from the Wi-Fi Alliance. This certification ensures a device has passed interoperability testing and supports mandatory features like Multi-Link Operation (MLO) for simultaneous data transmission across 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands, and Preamble Puncturing for selective channel utilization to bypass interference.
Hardware marketed as "Wi-Fi 7" may omit mandatory certification features or optional enhancements like 320 MHz channels and 4K-QAM. For production environments or stable homelabs, the CERTIFIED logo is the only guarantee of compliance with the finalized standard.

I'm in the market for a new (or newish to me) laptop. My budget is roughly $800-1.1k USD. I think I've narrowed it down to a few but would love to hear the community's input.
This will be used for light development, studying, coding, and some light gaming.

"I went back to Linux and it was a mistake"

Christian Hergert, a Portland-based software engineer and prominent GNOME developer, is relocating his family to France to escape the escalating instability and federal overreach under the Trump administration. He cites the traumatic shooting in Portland involving CBP (Customs and Border Protection) agents as a definitive breaking point, viewing the event as clear evidence that the United States is no longer a safe or stable environment for his mixed-race family. Facing a denied relocation request from Red Hat, Hergert is prioritizing his family’s physical security and sense of belonging over his professional career, leading him to scale back his decades of technical leadership in the open-source community. https://blogs.gnome.org/chergert/2026/02/06/mid-life-transitions/ #uspol #orpol #pdx #linux

For anyone on Debian 13 or newer, using nVidia drivers from nVidia's repo, this quick blog post shows a workaround to fix SHA-1 not being accepted by APT. I'm having errors with driver updates because of that, so adding the policy (unsecure), can make it work.
Debian 13 hasn't published newer drivers for nVidia GPUs yet, hence the conflict here.
SHA-1 is obsolete, so proceed at your own risk.
This survey is from last week. It's important to note that the market share for Linux remains small not because it's "geeky," not because it has some hardware incompatibilities (some of which are serious), but because major peripheral manufacturers don't support it. Your printer or mouse or graphics card might get a generic driver under Linux, which might or might not work properly, but you're unlikely to get an official app to control it. Peripherals like subwoofers, for example, can be completely overlooked, In some cases, there are limited offerings to get them to work, but mostly, you're on your own. And most average users just won't bother.
For the market share to grow, Linux needs to collaborate with major hardware manufacturers to get them to support their peripherals, but that's a tall order.

#Windows11 #AI push, and #Recall. Microsoft is reevaluating its “AI everywhere” strategy in Windows 11 and Recall (that awful spyware they added that periodically screenshots your activity). This is the result of user and enterprise backlash about bloat, UX clutter, and privacy. WOW! I am glad to see Microsoft finally deciding to actually work on a product with features that people want (still will never use it, go #Linux).

Hop, autre question #Linux
Sous Linux #Mint #linux_mint pourquoi de temps en temps Nemo plante t-il ? Et surtout, est-ce qu'il existe une commande console pour le rebooter plutôt que de devoir redémarrer ?
Please stop trying to get people to "Use Linux"
Linux is not a singular thing. People are likely to already use Linux, in the form of Android on their phones, and various embedded versions on their appliances.
Likewise, two different desktop distros are not the same thing.
Otherwise they'll try some random shitty ancient distro that doesn't fit them and conclude "Linux sucks" when that has nothing to do with the kernel and everything with all the other packages the distro uses.
It's new #laptop time and my natural inclination is to order from @tuxedocomputers but I haven't bought from them since the full shitshow of #Brexit kicked in so I'm wondering if the #LazyWeb / #LazyFedi know if/how I might get stung by having a laptop imported to the UK from Germany?
So I was installing #ubuntu 24.04 on a new test computer to see if I can run my research lab on #Linux yet. One of the options in the installer was to use hardware backed (#tpm) encryption like bitlocker.
But what is this? It doesn't ask me a passphrase like #LUKS always did. If it's automatically decrypting at boot what attack is it preventing?
I guess I never understood #bitlocker either; is it just for trying to mount the disk from another computer?
Linux-matka otti eilen uuden askeleen, kun asensin Linux Mintin pöytäkoneelle toiselle kiintolevylle. 🤩 Se on ollut käytössä jo läppärillä ihan testailuun ja oon ihan tykännyt, vaikka läppärin käyttö onkin aika vähäistä. Tein sen myös dual-bootiksi eli voin edelleen käynnistää Windowsin tarpeen mukaan. (Linux Mint toisella kovalevyllä ja Windows 11 toisella.)
Tässä kesti oikeastaan niin pitkään mitä kesti, koska varmin tapa asentaa Linux toiselle kovalevylle on irrottaa Windows-kovalevy koneesta kokonaan. Tämä on omassa koneessa hiukan hankalaa kovalevyn mallin takia, joten etsin ohjetta, miten se tehdään ilman kovalevyn poistoa.
Noudatin sitten tämän Youtube-videon ohjetta: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDt9OND4wis
Teknisenä huomiona: Videolla kerrotaan, miten Linux Mintissä tehdään kovalevyn 'ositus' (partition) asennusta varten. (Jostain luin, että) tämä tehdään siksi, että Linux Mint muuten asentaa käynnistysosionsa (boot partition) Windowsin määrittelemälle käynnistysosiolle ja Linux Mint pyyhkiytyy sitten Windowsin seuraavan päivityksen aikana pois.
Tämä osa showsta voidaan välttää, jos Windows-kovalevyn irrottaa kokonaan ennen Linuxin asennusta.
Raportoin tähän jonkin ajan jälkeen, että toi dual boot ei kyllä toiminut ihan oikein, vaan piti käyttää Linux Mintin "boot repari" -työkalua. Jotenkin (päivityksen tai jonkin vastaavan jälkeen) aukesi jokin 'grep' -viesti, enkä oikein ymmärtänyt mitä se tarkoitti.
Työkalun käyttämisen jälkeen on taas toiminut hyvin, vaikka koneen käynnistyessä ei voikaan suoraan valita aukaisevansa Windowsia, vaan se pitää tehdä BIOSin kautta.

Un créateur de contenu met en lumière un jeu d'aventure indépendant de 2007, illustrant la vitalité de la niche du jeu sur Linux.
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?
