A sensible choice! I love k9-mail despite its flaws on Android, and I love #Thunderbird on the Desktop. But, what am I going to use on my #mobile #linux desktop... mmh

📢 📢 📢 Today we publish an Open Letter from developers to the #Linux #community regarding shipping unfinished patches to users.

Shipping unfinished patches harms the user experience and slows down the review process in #FOSS projects to improve the patches.

You can read our Open Letter at: do-not-ship.it

If you agree with this letter, you can support it by signing it, see: do-not-ship.it/sign

A Letter to #Discord for not Supporting the #Linux Desktop

I rewrote the whole article because I sounded extremely rude before. It's not nice to be rude to developers, whether you like them or not; whether the application is open source or not. Hopefully this revision is respectful and doesn't sound like I am shaming them.

Neat :) Not being POSIX that doesn’t work for me in Fish shell but Alt+left-arrow goes to the previous working directory and Alt+right-arrow goes to the next.

#fishShell #cd #linux #unix


From a POSIX shell `$OLDPWD` holds the name of the previous working directory:
cd /tmp
echo You are here: $PWD
echo You were here: $OLDPWD
cd $OLDPWD

#Unix #Linux #Shell #cd



Warning: There’s an app for blurring out sensitive information in images called Obfuscate being featured on #GNOME Software right now.

Please be careful.

The default blur setting can easily be reversed.

The default should be to replace the areas with a solid colour or a pattern not derived from the underlying information.

This really should not be a featured app in its current state.

HP to release laptop running Pop!_OS. Could System76 be an acquisition target?

(Here’s hoping this doesn’t go down the webOS route.)

Whoever implemented this security feature in GNOME really didn't think it through. #security #linux #gnome


So this is one of the coolest things about Fedora Silverblue (apart from the excellent stability, speed, and gorgeous stock GNOME 42): the first entry you see is today’s operating system. The second one is yesterday’s. If I wanted to, I could revert to the latter with a single command.

Linux life hack: say you have a page open in Firefox on your Linux machine and you want to view it on your phone (and you don’t have some fancy integration between the two)…

Instead of typing in the URL, get the FxQRL extension that shows you a QR code of the current tab’s URL and aim your phone’s camera at it.

Boom! :)

One of the good inpact of #Microsoft is pushing a laptop #security features that can be benefited also by #Linux.
For example #TPM2 can securely unlock your encrypted root linux drive without entering a password every time.

NVIDIA Transitioning To Official, Open-Source Linux GPU Kernel Driver

The day has finally come: NVIDIA IS PUBLISHING THEIR LINUX GPU KERNEL MODULES AS OPEN-SOURCE! To much excitement and a sign of the times, the embargo has just expired on this super-exciting milestone that many of us have been hoping to see for many years. Over the past two decades NVIDIA has offered great Linux driver support with their proprietary driver stack, but with the success of AMD’s open-source driver effort going on for more than a decade, many have been calling for NVIDIA to open up their drivers. Their user-space software is remaining closed-source but as of today they have formally opened up their Linux GPU kernel modules and will be maintaining it moving forward. Here’s the scoop on this landmark open-source decision at NVIDIA.


Q: Will Thunderbird get a “minimize to tray” option?

A: This feature exists on Windows, but we regularly hear from our #Linux users they want it too. The problem is that the concept of “tray” on Linux is not a consistent or standardized thing. But how about a workaround? If you're on Linux, check out a Flatpak app called "Birdtray:" flathub.org/apps/details/com.u…



Is it just me or can’t Fedora Silverblue install Flatpaks downloaded from the web (flatpakref) in GNOME Software?

(This is a valid, decentralised way of distributing software that doesn’t require centralised services like Flathub, etc. and should be supported as a first-class citizen in free and open operating systems.)
