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

@jhx Yup. I say to myself I don't actually mind the elitists and -generally speaking- trolls, but then I have often seen myself justifying, for example, why I use Ubuntu, or why I like Java or PHP, which are usually targets for some "superior" minds. This is why I posted this: https://fosstodon.org/@array/112360125565817471 ;)

@array
I like to recommend the distros I use BUT I do not force them on anyone. Everyones needs are different, that is a fact of life.
I totally do not care what distro/coding lang/etc. anyone uses.

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.

@agx @deedend @devrtz @purism even if the phone's software works well, mobile Linux is not the same platform as desktop Linux, for apps.

For example, I use Signal to communicate with people, and Matrix to communicate with communities.

Both Signal and Element are Electron apps, which aren't optimised for phones.

There's Flare and Fractal of course, but neither are ready to replace Signal and Element at this point.

Therefore, mobile Linux just isn't an option for me at the moment.

@julianfairfax @agx @deedend @devrtz @purism well, you could also use @dino for both, people and communities without any electron bloat

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” 」

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.

@unixviking

Even if you use RHEL there is still configuration that needs doing, system updates need applying, etc.. Ansible, Chef & Puppet exist to automate and simplify this process.

IMO Ansible is the best simply because it doesn't try to build clever plans. You outline what actions you want to perform, files to copy and dependencies to run first and it will quietly run each sequentially.

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.

@Haijo7 no... now btop is lagging when trying to search processes...

Try atop instead, it includes a daemon which will help you to rollback what happened on your system during the event. Including IO/memory/cpu/network usage.

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.
