Hi Robert, good question & one I don't know offhand (if anyone does, please share!) Looking on reactos.org/faq/#can-i-install… I found "Can I install ReactOS and run any software compatible with Windows on it?
Probably yes. However we highly recommend to check first if your favourite app runs in ReactOS. ReactOS is still an on-going project and not all the apps and drivers runs perfect on it."

Are any of our #FOSS / #Linux friends involved in #ReactOS able to share experiences please?


Ich habe jetzt mal die #App von #Thunderbird für #Android getestet.

Übernahme aller #Konten und #Mailadressen aus dem Thunderbird am #Linux Rechner per (in meinem Fall 4) #QRCode klappt super.

Dann allerdings fangen bei etlichen #Mailkonten, denen jeweils mehrere #Mailadressen zugeordnet sind, die Probleme an:

Vom Kontoname werden in einem farbigen Punkt nur die ersten 2 Buchstaben angezeigt. Zwar kann man die Farbe wählen, aber das reicht zur Unterscheidung nicht aus.

#Signaturen werden nicht übernommen, zumindest, wenn diese im Thunderbird am PC aus einer Textdatei eingebunden sind.

Wenn man unterhalb des #Posteingang (#Inbox) Unterordner hat, werden diese nicht wie beim Thunderbird am PC als Unterordner des Posteingang samt Hierarchie angezeigt, sondern jeder Unterordner in flacher Hierarchie in der Form "INBOX.Ordnername" aufgeführt.

Man kann immer nur einer einem Postfach zugeordneten Mailadresse einen #PGP Schlüssel zuweisen.

Der Ansatz für eine #Thunderbirdapp ist vielversprechend, aber noch ist gewaltig Luft nach oben.

Ich bleibe deshalb bis auf weiteres erst mal bei #FairEmail", das ich wärmsten empfehlen kann.


For the #linux #midi experts: When I connect two identical devices to a system, what does aseqdump -l or aconnect -i show as name for each single device. Retoot appreciated.


This is something that all Windows screen readers struggle with. Nothing touches a #linux terminal with either #speakup or #fenrir. Maybe the mac has something, but the linux terminal works rock solid.


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

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?

Is there a podcast series exploring #Linux through a blind person? Not for me, for others, but could be worth getting to listen and follow along. If not a podcast, I'll take YouTube, but the person likes podcasts because of RSS feeds. @mastoblind


@downey went from MSO to AOO to LiO right at the beginning and haven’t looked back. And with Collabora Office (though I’d prefer a straight-up iOS/iPadOS LiO) it’s nearly as seamless as iWork without the walled garden, which means I can use it on my recently #Linux-upgraded-from-Win10 old PC.


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.

So, since Windows this morning proved me again how incapable it is to handle my generic boring computer usage, I feel like I at least need to start looking into Linux. I mean maybe I like it, can't know if I never tried. So my question for all the #blind #Linux folks, what's the best way to get started with stuff like #Orca. Please don't flood me with some advanced whatever stuff. I just want to get something running on VMware to try around, to see how it's actually going. Of course I understand that there is a learning curve but I guess I'll need it sooner or later anyways, for whatever might come.

Why use any Apple product, though? Overly expensive, outdated and bloated OS, minimum control (like using the mail client you want)... Terrible consumer practices, programmed obsolescence, hardware implementation that doesn't make any sense... Step up to something better and more efficient, like #linux


Frage an die DJs da draußen!

Was habt ihr denn so für Controller rumstehen?

Da meiner gerade die Hufe hoch macht brauch ich was neues...

Nochmal den gleichen will ich eigentlich nicht...

Wenn der unter #Linux in #MIXXX läuft wäre mir das sehr recht, muss aber nicht sein.

Hi folks, I'm trying to jumpstart federation on my little gotosocial instance and get a more full feed of things to read and interact with.

I could use your help. If you could boost this, I would appreciate it. If you see this and favorite it, I will follow you if your interests seem to align with mine.

I'm not asking for follows... rather I'm asking for you to help me shout out into the ether that I'M looking for people to follow. My main interests are going to be hashtagged below.

By the way, the way hashtags work here is that currently, if I search, I only see what my server is already knows about... which would mean just the folks I follow, since I'm a single-user instance. Not very helpful 😂

I will also be using one of my apps that can load the main feed from other servers, to see if I see something interesting. If you see a follow from me and come here to check me out... I mean you no harm and I come in peace.

Thanks all!

Das Enkel wollte wissen, wie man #Linux #ubuntu installiert.. 🤔


« Pour un numérique inclusif, responsable et durable », tel sera le thème de la 4e édition de la Journée du Libre Éducatif qui se déroulera le vendredi 4 avril 2025 pour la première fois dans les Hauts-de-France et pour la première fois dans un établissement scolaire, le lycée Carnot de Bruay-la-Buissière.

Dernière ligne droite pour les inscriptions "visiteurs" à la #JDLE2025 (23 mars)

Chromium now has initial, experimental support for the xdg-session-management #wayland protocol, which will start shipping in canary channel in the coming days. I've implemented and tested it against Mutter 48, the only compositor supporting it atm - also experimentally - since version 47.

Quick demo at youtu.be/OG9ZLXzlwkQ

New in GNOME 48 is the necessary support for keyboard handling by the Orca screen reader in Wayland sessions. As I reported on the Orca mailing list recently, I have updated my system, and this support is so far working as intended. You need Mutter 48 and the latest AT-SPI installed.

Thanks are owed to the software developers responsible for this work.

How to Be a (Real) Linux User: The Ultimate Guide!


Ready to become a real Linux user? In this video, I break down the funniest and most stereotypical traits of a Linux enthusiast – from growing a beard to minimizing RAM usage (even when you have 32GB!). Whether you’re a Linux newbie or a veteran, this guide will have you laughing at the quirks of the Linux community.

(I may or may not be guilty of all of the mentioned traits)
