Die geschmeidigste Version war, glaub ich, die 14. Ich bedauere, dass man danach den #Unity #Desktop aufgegeben hat.
Er hat m. M. nach ein innovatives Bedienkonzept gehabt. Schließlich möchte ich kein besseres Windows, weshalb ich mit dem #KDE Desktop oder #Linux #Mint nie richtig warm geworden bin. Das sind trotzdem gute Projekte.
Fedora 43 is expected to be released within weeks. I decided that the late stage of the beta process was a suitable moment to upgrade my server. Several days of debugging and configuration changes ensued, but not due to its being a beta version. The most complex problem was to adjust to the new (backward-incompatible) syntax of the Dovecot 2.4 IMAP configuration. Thanks to participants on the Dovecot mailing list for recognizing one of my errors, I was able to fix the configuration and return my email service to normal. #Fedora #Linux #DovecotIMAP
Vaxry has been known to harass trans ppl. If Framework is putting money towards that, maybe I won't put money toward Framework anymore. Maybe you shouldn't either, until they stop this.
Transphobia is not appealing, especially for the kind of people who would normally be interested in Framework's devices.
We're happy to keep sponsoring and enabling more of the Linux ecosystem! We've also just recently joined @linuxfoundation and become (maybe the first?) corporate sponsor of LVFS (Linux Vendor Firmware Service).
Yes yes. My bad. I'm running version 25.8.1.1. When I open a .csv file with LibreOffice Calc I see this Text Import window. The problem is that it doesn't fit to my screen size and for that reason the bottom buttons aren't visible.
If you haven't heard of #gnu #guix we're a free software project that's created a hosted package manager (think homebrew or flatpak) and a GNU/Linux distribution.
GNU Guix uses the functional packaging approach pioneered by #nix and adds a user-experience and system configuration system. It uses a DSL that's based on Guile Scheme. You can use it configure your home environment, dev environments or the entire system using a declarative and transactional definition.
We hope to tell people about the project and our latest news. We'd love to engage with people around #freesoftware #guile #scheme and more general #linux topics!
Normaalgezien zijn hun activeiten gericht op studenten informatica, maar voor de installparty zijn ook buitenstaanders welkom. Als je meer wilt weten over #linux , wilt testen of met hulp wilt installeren, wees welkom!
I heard that KDE could use some fundraising campaign artwork, so calling all artists who may follow me:
If you like KDE stuff like Krita or Plasma etc..
And if you like Konqi and Katie
We could use some artwork: Drawings of Konqi and Katie for fundraising efforts. Here is a good example: community.kde.org/File:Konqui-…
The promo folk will explain more what they need specifically, I'm mostly a messenger.
It is volunteer work (so very likely no payment) and the artwork will have to have permissive license such as CC-BY-SA. And I understand for many artists that's a lot to ask.. But you never know if you don't ask right?
There's different style campaigns for different holiday seasons. If you're interested, let me know here or my email, and I'll give out details how to contact the promo team. You can also chat with them directly through their Matrix channel: community.kde.org/Get_Involved…
How many people would I piss off if everytime I see someone complain about some kind of #linux thing falling over, not doing what they need it to yet or generally just being a nuisance, I suggest that this wouldn't be a problem if they were to just switch to #windows? More importantly, how funny would it be?
We held another #Fedora Installfest at the local university in #Brno today. In recent years, we have been dealing with fewer and fewer #Linux problems and more and more #Windows problems. Today, it was all "Fedora works fine for me, but I also have Windows in dual boot and VS Code there gives me an error when I try to compile."
One of my posts here gained popularity in the #Flathub vs. traditional #Linux distributions debate and I still stand by my claim that @flathub enforces its rules more strictly than Linux distributions and checks maintainers more thoroughly. None of my #Fedora packages have ever been held for review after being accepted into the repositories. Even though it's a complication for me as a maintainer, I approve it.
#Firefox unterstützt nun unter #Windows die Einrichtung einer Website als sogenannte #WebApp (support.mozilla.org/de/kb/web-…). Dafür gibt es rechts in der Adresszeile einen neuen Button: „Tab zur #Taskleiste hinzufügen“. Danach taucht die Website unten in der Taskleiste (und nicht mehr im Browser) auf und wirkt wie ein eigenes Programm. Wer das grundsätzlich nicht möchte, kann diese Funktion auch deaktivieren: about:config aufrufen, dann nach browser.taskbarTabs.enabled suchen und auf false stellen. 💡 Momentan gibts die Web-App-Funktionalität nur unter Windows. #MacOS und #Linux sollen aber folgen.
#Linux folks: I have a patch that I'd like to get merged into `Kconfig` - the GTK4 port I was working on while back. Sadly, it looks like the subsystem has went orphaned recently, and as much as I'd like to step up to maintain it I lack the deeper knowledge about the configuration subsystem (it's pretty out of my field of expertise). What do we think, is there still a way to get the patches merged? If I want to do so, do I send them to the general build system maintainers?
Also...wenn du mit dem Gedanken spielst dir einen #Asus Laptop zuzulegen und #Linux draufzuspielen...lass es.
Habe zwei Asus ROG und zwei Acer auf Linux gebracht, die Acer waren problemlos, die Asus haben mich das doppelte an Zeit sowie einige graue Haare gekostet und laufen heute noch nicht ganz sauber (Sound-In). Grund ist m.E. der absolut fehlende Support von Asus in Bezug auf Linux!

I think planned hardware obsolescence is usually bad. I have an iPhone XS. It can't be upgraded to iOS 26. Eventually, perhaps within the next year, it will cease to be eligible for security updates. Apart from this, I have no good reason to buy a new phone. With the latest iOS 18 and applications, its performance is fine, and it does what I want it to do. Disposing of it is obviously detrimental to the environment, but if I give it to someone else to use, it will be a security risk for them too. According to the articles I've read, Android devices have historically been worse in this respect. Some Android manufacturers committed to five years of software support, which is still worse than what Apple provided for my device. Of course, millions of Windows users are about to encounter a similar problem, as has been much publicised in recent months. One of my machines doesn't meet the minimum Windows 11 requirements, but it runs Windows 11 perfectly well after making Microsoft's official registry change to bypass the compatibility check. More importantly, it runs Linux comfortably, and will probably continue to do so until the hardware fails or the kernel community decides to stop supporting it. I suspect the former will occur first. We need a shift in values and policy that places greater value on hardware longevity. #hardware #Android #iOS #Linux #sustainability
Mám tu samou zkušenost. Včera jsem se taky napálil – zaplatil subscription, pak zjistil, že na #Linux SkyShowtime nejede.
Psali mi z podpory toto (copy-paste):
> “We regret to inform you that SkyShowtime is currently not supported on Linux-based operating systems. … If you still want a refund, please contact us, and we will initiate the refund.”
Takže oficiálně: Linux není podporován a jediné řešení je refund. Fakt nechápu, že SkyShowtime v roce 2025 nemá ani týdenní free plán na vyzkoušení. 🤷 Člověk zaplatí, pak zjistí, že na #Linux to vůbec nejede,
#SkyShowtime nefunguje na #Linux. Zjistil jsem to po zaplacení měsíční subscription. Tak jsem si pokecal s jejich podporou skrze překladač (nebo nepřiznali, že je to chatbot).
Nejprve mi doporučil, ať užívám chytrý telefon nebo TV, pak mi navrhl, ať si koupím novou smart telku. Tak jsem se mu vysmál a zeptal se, jestli na tu telku dostanu od SkyShowtime nějakou dotaci.
Pak začal mluvit racionálně a tvrdí, že mi refundují prachy.

I have finally moved over to Linux as my primary platform. In many ways it is like coming home, as I loved working on UNIX machines in the past. Of course, I have been using Linux as a secondary OS for a long time, but I finally made the switch. Microsoft cancelling Windows 10 and the direction Windows 11 is going was just too much for me.
@ruario helped the transition, by making it easy for me to work with multiple concurrent @Vivaldi installs. That is a must for me as I test a lot of builds at the same time.
Assuming the OS doesn't unravel like Bazzite did, I think I've settled on Pop!_OS. Would I prefer a start menu and a more easily communicable distro name? Yes. But, holy shit, everything works.
