Classic meme of a guy with bulging head veins

I feel the Linux community has missed a great opportunity to get the Windows10 users to migrate prior to the EOL next month.

They should have been blanketing the airwaves over the past year with the message that users can keep their current hardware and move to a modern and secure operating system akin to Windows.

Maybe it because of the fragmented ecosystem or that the Linux community is bad at promotion. There are hundreds of millions of Win10 machines that are soon to be obsolete.

The world does not have to be beholden to Microsoft because of inertia.

@hector One word - Packaging.

People often hate on #linux #packaging. Dependency hell is real. But that hell exists in all software in some form, not just RPMs & .debs. ;-)

Centralized #distro packaging lets us aggregate the hell into one place to make it somewhat manageable. The other OSes let everyone navigate their own personal dependency hell.

Centralized pain vs. Distributed pain. The inverse of profitability in some respects.

Why can't updating Windows and Mac be as easy as it is to update Linux and FreeBSD?

#Tech #Linux #MacOS #MSWindows #OperatingSystems

@vaurora

For starters, use Linux.

I just installed Trixie on a new laptop. I wiped the drive. Never let Windows 11 ever see daylight.

Apparently, the only way to update the BIOS is to use Windows. Not happening. The BIOS is good enough to boot Linux as is.

Interestingly, I tried Bookworm, but it had issues with graphics (firmware issue). Laptop too new.

You never know what interactions may be occuring between the BIOS (UEFI) and Windows. I do not trust that it will not install a backdoor in the EFI.

Give them MacBooks…running a "cool" version of Linux. Snagged 2 old Airs for just €50 each.

Now they’ve got "cool" Apple gear, with the the rich world of #Linux that respects their freedom and sparks curiosity.

So I just rebuilt my personal #python venv in my home directory on my #linux daily driver laptop. I did pip freeze > requirements.txt to capture all the packages I had installed. Then I took away all the ==a,b.c versioning so I'd install the latest compatible version.

Then I ran uv pip install -r requirements.txt. This blew me way:

$ time uv pip install -r requirements.txt

As I have written in the past, I am not a Linux lover. But I do occasionally try to use it, just to see what the fuss is about. Normally, I am very disappointed. Yesterday, I tried two new (to me) versions with mixed results. These are Elementary OS and Accessible Coconut. I wrote reviews of both here. Note that in each case, my experience has been preliminary. I have not delved deeply into either of them. If nothing else, the paragraph in which I explain the general problems with Linux and the blind is very much worth reading, particularly for those who think that Linux, of any variety, is the answer to everything. It's not, and such people need to learn this.

https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/257482.html

I intend to write more about Accessible Coconut once I have used it more, but the problem of shared folders and removable drives still remains, and if I cannot solve it satisfactorally, it will severely hinder both my opinion of, and my productivity with, this system.

First attempt at B&W reversal in #darktable via #negadoctor. Don't remember offhand which camera/film stock this was (likely #IlfordHP5 or #KodakTriX) but it was scanned via #NikonD850 and I edited straight from the RAW file. This is from a few months back.

I used negadoctor and the monochome module, then because the image was pretty flat I cranked up the contrast. I may have overdone it, but I really like high contrast B&W so others may disagree.

I also took a digital camera out and about today, and I think that will be my first foray into a digital RAW workflow with darktable.

Clearly, I have a lot to learn - but I'd love to get away from Adobe. If #NegativeLabPro fulfills their goal of making a standalone, that would also be a big step - I love how NLP renders my negatives so having that happen on the front end (either on my MacBook or via WINE on my Linux machine) would also be a game changer.

As always, open to suggestions!

A dilapidated wooden door to a utility shed. The shed is clad with galvanized metal siding. It's a black and white film image, the contrast is relatively high and the grain present, but in my opinion pleasantly so.

I have finally moved over to Linux as my primary platform. In many ways it is like coming home, as I loved working on UNIX machines in the past. Of course, I have been using Linux as a secondary OS for a long time, but I finally made the switch. Microsoft cancelling Windows 10 and the direction Windows 11 is going was just too much for me.

@ruario helped the transition, by making it easy for me to work with multiple concurrent @Vivaldi installs.
That is a must for me as I test a lot of builds at the same time.

🙅 Goodbye Forever OPNsense 🙅

It displeases me to finally and heartily say GTFO to OPNsense; to abandon a solid decade of use.

I've had it on everything from embedded arm64 experiments to baremetal with ranges of 10, 25, 40, and 100GbE NICs. I've used all of the core features, built complex global service meshes, H/A systems, etc. I used to love it. I used to pay for it.

OPNsense was great, until it wasn't (starting around the time they axed their use of HardenedBSD), and with each release it gets more convoluted, out of date, tedious to debug, and generally a source of disappointment. The command line controls are anemic, inconsistent, and the lack of unified and useful system state tracking is a source of sailor level obscenities. Also, dear gods get rid of XML configs, no one can parse it without going blind! What is this, SOAP and XML-RPC era nonsense, really? 😠

I do not have time to waste, and I do not say that lightly.

I am never debugging OPNsense ever again, especially not for four hours on a (yesterday) Saturday, and especially not putting off updates in a colo for TWO YEARS because their team decided to break admin group SSH controls, hamper CARP flapping controls, breaking IPMI fencing, and the list goes on. I am done.

What now? Three realistic options.

1) BSD Router Project: I've built custom BSD-RP releases with Poudriere, loved just about everything it offers.
2) VyOS: configurable via CLI in a fraction of the time that was wasted on debugging OPNsense. Solid product, enjoying it more every day.
3) OpenWRT: I build custom releases for NanoPi and Meraki rooted WAPs and SOHO boxes, it's fun, though it's not running my 100G infra.

I’ve been checking out the secureblue project recently, and it’s actually pretty interesting.

I’ll admit, online privacy feels like a straight-up meme in today’s world of surveillance capitalism, but secureblue is pushing out some genuinely unique projects that are absolutely worth looking into.

From what I can tell, secureblue feels a lot like the desktop version of GrapheneOS, taking that same security-focused foundation and bringing it into the Linux desktop space in a meaningful way.

Looking for #Linux distro suggestions! My wife's Windows 10 PC is about to be unsupported. We're migrating her to Linux soon. She's comfortable with computers, but not a tech head. I think a UX experience that's as familiar as possible to her as a Windows user would be the way to go.
