A little rant about why I stopped distro hopping :linux:

@array
Even if you need newer stuff: There most likely is a repo, package, container, etc. available to get it 😉
I for example get Ansible directly via pipx - just because I like to have the newest release.
2 years old should be totally fine for
New hardware also mostly works - it rather is bleeding edge tech that get's fiddly.
(Besides, building a kernel if nothing else is available is also not too hard)

This posting is intended to function not only as a tutorial but, also, as a review and commentary on my ‘long-term’ use of spectrwm as my primary window manager (long-term, meaning at least one month of daily use).

Honest question: Which country are you from and which distribution do you use?

I'm in the United States, and run personally and administer professionally.

I recently upgraded to bookworm from bullseye.
I have /etc/exports:
# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported /mnt/storage/medialibrary/tv/ 10.0.0.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,insecure) /mnt/storage/medialibrary/music/ 10.0.0.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,insecure) /mnt/storage/medialibrary/movies/ 10.0.0.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,insecure) /mnt/recordings/ 10.0.0.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,insecure)

As a client running on a Vero 4K+, OSMC, mt /etc/fstab:
#nfs mounts 10.0.0.38:/mnt/storage/medialibrary/tv/ /mnt/tv nfs auto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=10,timeo=14,hard,intr,noatime 0 0 10.0.0.38:/mnt/storage/medialibrary/movies /mnt/movies nfs auto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=10,timeo=14,hard,intr,noatime 0 0 10.0.0.38:/mnt/storage/medialibrary/music /mnt/music nfs auto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=10,timeo=14,hard,intr,noatime 0 0 10.0.0.38:/mnt/recording/ /mnt/recordings nfs auto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=10,timeo=14,hard,intr,noatime 0 0

from the client:

Explicitly label the IP

Has something changed in bookworm in regards to nfs mounts?
Thanks

Honestly, I dislike Grub. If you have UEFI / EFI and want to boot faster (and fewer dependencies)

sudo apt install systemd-boot systemd-boot-efi

sudo apt --allow-remove-essential purge grub-* shim-signed

  • sudo apt reinstall systemd-boot systemd-boot-efi

  • In some Debian based distros, this forces it to refresh after removing grub. It isn't needed most of the time, but I see no harm in doing it anyway

Visual boot menu? Edit

sudo nano /boot/efi/loader/loader.conf

Un petit soucis. Je suis sous 12 fraîchement installé. Je voudrais connecter mon iphone dessus et il ne se passe rien. Mon ne m'affiche pas la fenêtre se fier et je ne peux donc pas y accéder sur mon pc. C'est la première fois que ça m'arrive, sous ubuntu ou mxlinux pas de soucis, je pouvais sauvegarder mes photos sans problème. J'ai vu de la doc mais en anglais (je maîtrise pas suffisamment) et assez ancienne. Une idée ?

🥂 Debian 13 Will Officially Support 64-Bit RISC-V
➥ OMG Linux

「 Debian 13 “Trixie” will be the first version of the Linux distro to officially support 64-bit RISC-V hardware. That “officially” is an important qualifier; while it’s already possible to run Debian on RISC-V hardware those efforts have hitherto been “ports” 」

Back on @fedora 38. Debian was pretty solid, but I like access to the latest apps. Specifically the latest version of Firefox, which performs much better.

hell yeah!!!
It was a nightmare to get the nvidia drivers working (or a working display for that matter), but I've made it to .
It's probably not that hard, but I've lost some hair on this one.
Thx Internet for the help, thx for the fun.
Next might be but for now, while empowered, I also feel like a drained battery.

Speaking of Debian: don't misunderstand, Debian is one of the greatest Linux distributions ever! So is the community. But if you are used to everything working out-of-the-box for such a long time, and you have a good dozen computers to look after, then the hours of setting up basic functions after the fact can be very tedious.

Anyone else on with a system that struggles to navigate its home folder? I'm so confused. Can't decide if its a system issue or an issue with my user.

Most Linux users continue to opt-out of any data collection, by keeping the default privacy setting to "disabled."

I, wanting to help improve the experience for others, voluntarily opt-in all the way.

The difference between Windows and Linux here is:

  1. It is off by default. - You don't have to remember to turn it off, it's off from the start. You have to make the conscious decision to opt-in if you want.

  2. It is a personal choice.
