My week with Linux: I'm dumping Windows … to see how it goes | Tom's Hardware
On a whim, thought I'd try upgrading my #WSL #Ubuntu instance to a later release in hopes that updating from #Python 3.2 would make #Marimo actually work. do-release-upgrade actually worked pretty seamlessly, and then the new bullshit Canonical decided was a good idea reared its head. pip3 install marimo? "THIS IS AN EXTERNALLY MANAGED PYTHON, install things through packages instead!" (there is no package).
Guess it's finally time to learn how to use #archlinux
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/
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 …

¿Sabías que partiendo de poco más de 700€ puedes tener hoy un superportátil linuxero a tu medida y con autonomía para usarlo todo el día fuera de casa?
Bueno, y en casa también 😀
Y con la distro de Linux que quieras, o con Windows11 (sólo o con arranque dual) si todavía no has abandonado el sistema de Microsoft.
Y puedes elegir hasta el color (plata o negro).

FLOSS #MaintainerLife public service advisory:
If you're filing a potential bug upstream in #GNOME, particularly on rapidly-improving apps like GNOME Calendar, please test the latest version, unmodified by third-parties. #Flatpak helps.
Don't come at me with a 4-years-old version cowboy-patched against our will by #Linux distros like Mint; I will send you downstream, like this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/1526#note_2640160

Good morning Fedi friends! 🌈✨
Made it back to France and now I’m at my in laws’.
I forgot a wired keyboard at my parents’ in Italy and I only have a wireless keyboard and mouse with me, which were never paired to my Raspi. Mother-in-law came to my rescue and gave me an old wired mouse… and with #Ubuntu’s accessibility setting and on screen keyboard I was able to log in and connect my gear. Ouf!
Happy #Linux / #Raspi week to me (till I get home to Paris) 🐧
Now I had some powerful epiphanies yesterday, with my rickety Sharkey instance.
Sad to say that because it locked me out, and recovery codes aren’t working either, its fate is now sealed. I lost all trust in it and won’t spend any more precious time on it.
But this ONLY relates to my self-hosted Sharkey, which has been cursed from the start, not the software itself, which is WONDERFUL.
I’ll stop putting my energy on it and carry on with my plan (a quiet corner of the Fediverse) on @ruud’s calckey.world — which worked perfectly for me last year, when I was test driving Sharkey. Time to resurrect the account and set up monthly recurring donations.
Anyway, wishing you all a fantastic day!
Fazendo limpeza na casa dos meus pais, mirai o que apareceu: CDs das primeiras versões de #Ubuntu há mais de 20 anos!
Dá-me mágoa tirá-los, mas não sei quem os quereria. Talvez alguma associação, por motivos históricos? Se seguro que já tenhem a varrer., que os frikis somos-che moi de guardá-lo tudo 😄
#CaliforniaLaw is written by people who are either very ignorant or very incompetent.

They have assumed that all operating systems are like Microsoft Windows 11, Android, or iOS; and have written legislation for operating systems where people download glorified WWW client 'apps', from 'stores', which use 'accounts' that they have with vendors or Microsoft/Google/Apple.
But the legislation *as worded* *also* covers everything from #Debian and #Ubuntu through #Arch Linux and #MobaXTerm to #FreeBSD and #NetBSD and #OpenBSD; where users anonymously use package managers or ports systems to install applications, written by developers, on operating systems, from 'publicly available internet website' repositories.
There is no age field in the GECOS data in master.passwd(5) of course, and the reality is that no BSD or Linux-based operating system has this concept of apps/stores/accounts.

Unbelievably annoying behavior. I guess that'll teach me to ignore an update notification rather than figuring out how to disable it forever.

Oh, if I could guarantee at least €750 per month in donations, I would happily quit my day job and devote myself full‑time to #FreeSoftware. I’d expand my current contributions to #Debian, #GNOME, #Ubuntu, #FDroid, and other projects that interest me but for which I currently have no spare time.
Any ideas on how this could work for an individual developer stuck in Iran?
htop regression on Kubuntu:
― tree view is blank (an empty list).
List view is OK.
Before I report I bug (I can't find a match in Launchpad): anyone else?
htop version 3.4.1-5build2.
Next step, installing #Linux on systems. Digital sovereignty doesn't stop at the office suite; the operating system is still a dependency underneath.
