One of the nice touches of @linuxmint file manager is that when you open a folder as root, the window displays a nice red banner on top that says "Elevated Privileges".

I tend to like Gnome better, and I wish it had something like that. #Linux #Gnome #ubuntu


Ich habe große Sympathie für @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz und nutze sie seit, ich denke, ca. 10 Jahren gern (selbstgehostet).

Aber der #Desktop #Client bzw. das #Interface für #Linux (#ubuntu 24) stellt meine Loyalität und Begeisterung seit Jahren arg auf die Probe.

Seit Monaten stürzt er beim Computer-Start ab, von Update zu Update bessert sich das nicht und mit dem Neuesten ist das Hauptfenster jetzt "Nextcloud Desktop öffnen" genannt, und die Nautilus-Integration zur Freigabebearbeitung gar nicht mehr nutzbar ...

#Linux beginner question: what is the best way to update LibreOffice in #Ubuntu? Can this be done via bash?


Hey, Linux people: a LOT of folks are screaming off Windows right now.

Be. Kind. To. Them.

They don't know much yet, so they are going to ask really basic questions. If you're KIND, you might get some to give it a try and stick to it bc they know they can ask for help. If you're unkind, you're showing them using Linux will be *worse* than Windows. If you can't bring yourself to be kind, then SAY NOTHING. Let others pick up that slack.

Ein #update eines de-snapifizierten #ubuntu 22 auf 24 scheint keine so gute Idee zu sein... 😑
#Linux


@debian

I have been using #trixie in testing mode for a couple of months. Its been very stable and I'm so impressed that we are moving the company across from the snap-infested Kubuntu

#linux #debian #ubuntu



I did it! Today I switched from #Windows 10 to #Ubuntu on my Surface Pro and it mostly works. I still have to work out a few kinks, but I'm really happy.
I also managed quite a feat at work and, thanks to a random internet person, learned that there's something called PMDD.
Overall, it was a pretty successful day.


Hi @fireborn ! Is this your blogpost?

fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/you…

If so, I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I love #linux and always have. I have literally made my career with it ever since I first booted the H.J. Lu boot/root floppy set on my 486 DX2/66, but I'm partially #blind, and my vision is getting worse as I age.

And at times the amount of negativity and crap I get when I say that I generally run #WSL on Windows or a Mac? It's huge, pointless, and speaks to some ways in which parts of the Linux community are its own worst enemy.

When screen zoom broke for 2 years in #ubuntu and many of us kept signposting how important this is to us, over and over, and one of the Canonical engineers wrote in the issue saying that, due simply to the very limited number of engineering hours available, this was a low priority fix? That was a wake up call for me.

There's no malice there. It's not that anyone in the Linux community is doing an evil laugh and thrilling to the number of disabled users who can't reliably enjoy Linux on the desktop, it's about the reality that a tiny, rag tag group of engineers working for a handful of companies are doing the vast majority of the work keeping the Linux desktop world moving, and they BARELY have the bandwidth to keep development going at all much less catering to the myriad accessibility needs folks like us (Not comparing the nature of our didabilities, mind you. Everyone's different!).

But people like the guy your post responds to can make us feel not smart enough, not good enough, or not motivated enough to thrive in an environment that throws up HUGE obstacles, and that's just not right.

Pardon the length, I have Strong Feelings about this stuff as you can see, and thanks again for posting!



#Ubuntu 25.04 will be released today (maybe it already is), so here is my look at this new update!

The TLDR is: I thought it wouldn't have that much, but it turns out that between #GNOME 48, APT 3.0, Nvidia dynamic boost, and a new default app, there's a lot to cover!

Also, props to Xubuntu for the move to XFCE 4.20, that's going to be a big change for Xubuntu users!

Does anyone know where to report #a11y issues with the #Ubuntu Mate installer? I just tried to install ubuntu-mate-25.04 and sadly, it's pretty much a no go with Orca. Alt+Windows+S works to bring up the screen reader. The first screen of the installer appears to be the language selection screen; but after that, Orca is pretty much dead in the water, utterly unable to read anything else except "next" buttons. Pretty sad. Looks like they're not a11y testing this at all.


Ubuntu 25.04 arrives today, filled with fresh new features, essential updates and other welcome improvements. Will you be trying it?

#Ubuntu #OpenSource #Linux


Certain models of Lenovo laptops now ship with Fedora and Ubuntu Linux. This is done to keep costs low and cater to developers or IT professionals who heavily rely on Linux. Another reason could be the increased unpopularity of Windows 11 in recent times due unwanted features like "AI" or "Recall", but that is just my own wild guess ;) LOL. Would you buy it?

Nimm #pipewire, haben sie gesagt. Damit wird alles einfacher, haben sie gesagt.

Naja, man ist da sicher auf einem guten Weg. Aber das Jonglieren mit config Dateien und Einstellungen erinnert mich doch etwas daran, wie es vor reichlich zehn Jahren war, wenn man #jack und #pulseaudio zusammenbringen wollte.

Zwar muss jetzt nicht soo viel konfiguriert werden, aber man muss schon ein wenig herumsuchen...

Mit meinem install #Script für das #Audio Zeug hab ich es nun ohne jack versucht. Mal sehen ob es sich mit #ubuntu 24 #Linux bewährt:

Dankbar bin ich für Ideen dazu und für Hinweise auf Fehler.

Developer applies at @ubuntu, goes through extensive hiring filters and many interviews, gets an offer in hand, accepts the offer, quits their job, only for Canonical to retract the offer.

Don't work for Canonical.

Přijďte na #linuxdays a stavte se u mě na #ubuntu stánku. Mám tu samolepky, placky a nějaké telefony s #ubuntutouch na vyzkoušení. Rád si popovídám a můžu i pomoci s nějakou novou instalací.


20 years of Canonical #Ubuntu #Linux ubuntu.com/20years Long-time Linux user here, currently on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Daily driver for managing VMs, K8S, Docker, etc. on AWS and other providers. Ubuntu is a great intro to Linux, with a rich dev experience. Congrats to Canonical. Keep it up the good work.


Mit der Umstellung von #Thunderbird auf #Snap in #Ubuntu hat sich #Canonical echt ein Ei gelegt:
Nach dem Update auf 24.04 sind einfach alle Mails und Einstellungen weg. Es gibt keinen automatisch Import während des Updates.
Ich konnte das Problem damals glücklicherweise schnell lösen, weil das Profil natürlich nicht gelöscht war.
Ich habe darüber gebloggt und bekomme inzwischen fast täglich dankbare Kommentare, weil verzweifelte Anwender*innen ihre Mails retten konnten.

probably #mint as last time I ran Linux it seemed fairly stable and user friendly. #ubuntu is another one that gets recommended for ease of use. Way back I remember using #centOS for a uni project.


No need to switch, here.

My Family has been using either #Ubuntu (2 computers) or #OpenSuse #TumbleWeed (5 computers) - for some years now.

#Yast enabled my family members to do a lot of things for themselves without great further knowledge (or - gasp - the command line), e.g. installing a printer.


Ty jo, pěkný 👍👍👍
2011 😳 to jsem o Archu asi ani moc nevěděl. To jsem měl Ubuntu. To byla zlatá éra české komunity #ubuntu.
