Good news!

No, it's not a Dacia Sandero. But, I was able to boot off of the KDE spin of Fedora 40 Beta ISO on my Microsoft Surface Pro 3 without any modifications!

#Fedora #Linux


After backing up my files, I decided to do a clean install of the KDE spin of Fedora 40 on to the Surface Pro 3.

Everything went smoothly and starting to get everything restored.

More info on how I set up my Fedora machines and the fun that had been getting the installer of Fedora 39 working on the Surface, checkout the two articles on my blog at: https://blog.linh.social/tag/fedora/

GNOME Workbench

Die Workbench bietet ca. 100 Code-Beispiele für GNOME-Anwendungen. Die kleinen Apps sind vollständig und ausführbar.

Should there be a desktop font service for the libre desktop? https://barefootliam.blogspot.com/2024/03/desktop-font-server.html

Thinking especially of graphic design and page layout uses.

Anyone in my network interested in research and prototype network portal for Flatpak?

In the long run we are interested in:

• Give more control to users over app network access
• Allow apps that need network access to be considered “Safe”

We expect something like unsharing the network namespace and a bridge on the host for permissions / monitoring.

Boost welcome :boost_love:

How many CPU cores (including threads ) and RAM are in your PERSONAL system? Are you happy with that? #linux #unix #desktop


I've seen a few app maintainers lately mentioning that bleeding edge libraries are required and that distro X in version Y isn't supported.

This is why you should have a Flatpak manifest in your repository; not just on Flathub.

It lets contributors easily build and test the development version without having to worry about the host.

Upgrading or downgrading your OS shouldn't stop anyone from working on your app.

GNOME 46 už je v Arch Linuxu 👍

Kromě rozšíření Dash to Dock, které jsem musel přeinstalovat přímo ze zdroje, funguje vše bez problémů.

Friends of energy efficiency - the Light Video 0.1.0 #Flathub update is out, build with #gtk4 4.14 and #GStreamer 1.24.1.

This should be the first app targeting the #linux / FDO desktop enabling Wayland video offloading (think zero-copy playback) by default. In many cases (actually more than I expected) this can improve battery lifetime - and on low-end devices even playback performance - significantly.

Someone in the IT department of my bank (Komerční banka) is acting smarter than they should be.
When I tried to log in to the Internet banking, I got a message saying that "OS Linux is no longer secure" and recommending that I use an up-to-date OS, e.g. Windows 11.

I thought we were past these times. 🤦

I'm just going to say it, and we can agree to disagree if you do in fact disagree...

systemd has categorically made Linux better in basically every way imaginable

It's earnestly cool if you don't agree but it's really really good

Time to let the cat out of the bag.

I've been working on a new app to use your #Linux phones and tablets as secondary wireless "side displays" (not mirrors). This is based on #GStreamer, x264, #Mutter APIs, and low-latency UDP streaming, and will be designed to work on both ARM and Intel, regardless of hardware acceleration support. (Testing on a #librem5)

This is still at an early stage, and will take some time to become usable. Thoughts and feedback?

Thoughts on Plasma 6 which just released end of February? I'm considering trying the new KDE Neon #Linux distro :breadthink:


Dear #Linux friends. How do you talk about new versions of DEs to non-Linux friends?

Like #Gnome 46 has been released and you want to tell someone how much better their Linux experience will be now if they try, or there's a specific feature you feel they would appreciate that you want to tell them about. Or something. How do you talk about it?

"Gnome is, like, this way for Linux to look and feel and now it's got this new..." is reeeal clunky. Not sure you'll win anybody over like that, or?


Workbench 46 is out! 🛠️

https://flathub.org/apps/re.sonny.Workbench

Actually it was a couple of hours ago before GNOME 46 but I didn't want to steal the show 😎

Here are the highlights 💡

Inline diagnostics for #Rust :rust: and #Python :python:

New Library demos: 📚

"Snapshot" to demonstrate one of GTK4 coolest feature.

"Dialog" and "Message Dialogs" to demonstrate libadwaita 1.5 new responsive dialogs.

26 demos ported to Python
5 demos ported to Vala

You know it's interesting that I think @thunderbird is probably the one piece of software I have been using since Windows XP as a kid and still use it to this day. I even pay $10/year for a plugin to make Thunderbird work with my Office365 I use for my content creation so I can use it seamlessly on #Linux for contacts, calendar, and mail integration.

Despite all the email providers I have hopped between I still have used Thunderbird since around 2005 or 2006 #infosec #cybersecurity #opensource

GNOME 46 should release very soon, so here are my impressions on this new version of this #Linux desktop environment:

Today #GNOME 46 is released and as it has been a tradition for 16 years, I wrote an article about the release for @rootcz (in Czech).

Thank you stranger. The work required to review Flatpak is very much appreciated.

Received my first automated email from Flathub to inform me that the permission change in our app "Biblioteca" is under review.

Love to see it!

Well done @flyingpimonster, @barthalion and @razze

For Arch users getting an error when running paru:
paru: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory<br>

Many folks on the internet suggest fixing this by sym linking an older version of libalpm, but a better solution is to compile the latest version of paru:
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/paru.git<br>$ cd paru<br>$ makepkg -si<br>

What #mud client are people using for #Linux these days? Something that can play .ogg would be perfect. I am really going to give this OS a try.


Over the last few years, we have tried again and again to produce our Buddhas music with a Linux OS. With Pipewire, Bitwig (thanks to @polarity and his videos) and Renoise we are slowly reaching the point where we can happily say, Linux here we are and we are here to stay. #pipewire @pipewire #renoise #linux


Yeah switching to a #linux based system is a huge improvement if talking about #privacy. Today most of the software is easily accessible on Linux and works great. Even if there's no dedicated #linux version there are still something like Wine or awesome free and open source alternatives. I can recommend #debian and #popos.

For messaging apps I love #signalmessenger and I can also recommend Session.

For browser as well as a search engine I'd pick Brave.
Librewolf is also great


A VM vending machine at #SCaLE21x! You put in a dollar, select your distro, and it creates a VM you can ssh into.

Would pay monay to have all flatpaks support mdns domain resolution? Is there a fund I could contribute to for that? As far as I can tell it's been broken for years. #flatpak #flathub #linux #avahi #bonjour #rendeszvous #mdns


Wrote a blog post talking about the developments with PipeWire camera support in applications and also the FireWire FFADO support. If you read my previous tweets about this there is not to much new in the blog post.
