I have a theory about 6-month Linux and BSD upgrades having their own kind of "stability" because there's not as far to go between releases https://zola.passthejoe.net/blog/six-month-stability/

LnxInx posts gameplay videos of games running on Linux, so people can see what the Linux versions are really like. You can follow their account at:
➡️ @lnklnx
They've already published over 50 videos. If these haven't federated to your server yet, you can browse them all at https://pt.lnklnx.com/a/lnklnx/videos
(In case anyone's wondering, the specific distro used is Debian as this indicates compatibility with many other distros too.)

COSMIC Beta 9 is LOOKING GOOD!
Still a couple of features I’d like to see, (the ability to pin network shares to the sidebar in Files, an option to view advanced Wi-Fi connection info like KDE, customizable clock settings) but I’m very impressed with what’s here so far. Simple, organized, easy to use.
Good stuff.

Dear friends of the BSD Cafe,
This idea has been in my mind since the very beginning of this adventure, almost two years ago. Over time, several people have suggested it. But until recently, I felt the timing just wasn’t right - for many reasons. Today, I believe it finally is.
So I’m happy to announce a new service:
The BSD Cafe Journal - https://journal.bsd.cafe
At first, I thought I’d use BSSG for it (I even added multi-author support with this in mind), but in the end, it didn’t feel like the right tool for the job.
The idea is to create a multi-author space, with content published on a fairly regular basis. A reference point for news, updates, tutorials, technical articles - a place to inform and connect.
Just like people in Italy used to stop by cafes to read the newspaper and chat about the day’s news, the BSD Cafe Journal aims to be a space for reading, sharing, and staying informed - all in the spirit of the BSD Cafe.
What it’s not:
It’s not here to replace personal blogs, or excellent newsletters like @vermaden 's. And it’s not an aggregator.
What it is:
A place where authors can write original content, share links to posts on their own blogs or elsewhere, publish guides, offer insights, or dive into technical explanations.
The guiding principles are the same as always: positivity, constructive discussion, promoting BSDs and open source in general. No hype (sharing a cool new service is fine, posting non-stop about the latest trend is not), no drama, no politics. The goal is to bring people together, not divide them. To inform, not inflame.
Respect, tolerance, and inclusivity are key. Everyone should feel welcome reading the BSD Cafe Journal - never judged, offended, or excluded.
The platform I’ve chosen is WordPress, for several reasons: it’s portable (runs well on all BSDs), has great built-in role management (contributors, authors, etc.), and - last but not least - supports ActivityPub.
This means every author will have their own identity in the Fediverse (like: @stefano ) and can be followed directly, and it’ll also be possible to follow the whole Journal.
Original and educational content is encouraged, but it’s also perfectly fine to link to existing articles elsewhere. Personally, I’ll link my technical posts from ITNotes whenever I publish them there.
The goal is simple: a news-oriented site, rich in content, ad-free, respectful of privacy - all under the BSD Cafe umbrella.
Content coordination will happen in a dedicated Matrix room for authors. There’ll also be a public room for discussing ideas, giving feedback, and sharing suggestions.
Of course, I can’t do this alone. A journal with no content is just an empty shell.
So here’s my call for action:
Who’s ready to lend a hand? If you enjoy writing, explaining, sharing your knowledge - the Journal is waiting for you.

Switched to strawberry from Swinsian to manage my iPod.
Overall I like swinsian’s interface better, but strawberry is a great player!
Either way I was already using my library to mpd so that doesn’t really hit my day to day.

Introducing the Tinker WriterDeck OS!
Convert any laptop and most chromebooks into a writer deck: A device designed solely for writing.
No distractions.
No internet.
No apps. No games. No social media.
Just writing.
The Tinker WriterDeck is very light weight and specifically seeks to lower the barrier of entry to creating writer decks. It converts older, reused, refurbished, or inexpensive laptops into a dedicated writing machine.
A digital typewriter.
The Tinker WriterDeck sits on top of a "headless" Debian Linux image and boots directly into a console based text editor.
We're using the Tilde Text Editor because it is a simple text editor, has an intuitive User Interface, and allows for customized color schemes for light and dark modes.
Operating System download and instructions on how to convert your laptop into a dedicated writer deck for free are found here: https://tinker.sh
See below for an example of the writer deck in light mode and dark mode.
If anyone has any questions or needs any help setting your laptop up, let me know here!

Can this become the European Union's own Linux Distribution?
SDDM, KDE Plasma, root-on-OpenZFS – simple. On Linux.
Yes, I'll install the theme snaps.
Will I install zectl – a ZFS boot environment manager for Linux? Maybe …

Yo os convoco, linuxeros:
Me he puesto a instalar Linux Mint mediante un pendrive en un ordenador y se me ha quedado congelado hace 50min (la pantalla está bloqueada, no se mueve el cursor y me aparece la hora de las 21:10 fija) con la barrita de carga que no habrá llegado ni al 10% (pone “Copiando archivos...”). Había seleccionado la opción de que me formatee el ordenador e instale Linux Mint sin partición de disco. ¿Qué puedo hacer? :(
