Este finde probé Fedora 44 Workstation y va de fábula: rápida, pulida y muy estable. Aun así, mi corazón es de Tumbleweed con GNOME 💚🐧

If you are into heavy use of the terminal, #dmenu is an essential piece of software to include in your system. (you can even use it to display qrcodes)
https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/
Emacs has a similar function as well:
(ido-completing-read "Select your Distro: " '("Debian" "Fedora" "OpenSUSE"))

@vernius yo llevo tiempo con MicroOS y para mi las inmutables son el futuro. Más estables las actualizaciones,sin problemas ni conflictos con las dependencias. A nivel terminal uso #distrobox y para mi es ideal. Completa flexibilidad sin poner en riesgo el sistema.

Last night, I set up the new workstation for my father-in-law. He was using a roughly 10-year-old computer with Windows 10 and an old monitor. It has been replaced by an Intel N150 MiniPC and this HP monitor, which was on sale at the shopping center near his house.
The total cost for the setup shown (excluding headphones but including the monitor) was 240 euros.
It's running openSUSE Slowroll, which I'll update occasionally when we visit him.
He started working and exclaimed, "It's super fast!"
You don't need a lot of money to have a valid and performant workstation, especially if you choose the right OS.
My only regret is not being able to use one of the BSDs, as none of them were perfectly supported by the MiniPC.

La ligne directrice de Microsoft reste donc la même dans l’immense majorité de sa communication : il faut changer de matériel. Parallèlement, des campagnes ont lieu depuis plusieurs mois pour sensibiliser le public à la question et orienter les personnes concernées vers d’autres produits comme Linux. Si l’option est tout à fait envisageable, elle implique d’avoir dans son entourage quelqu’un capable de réaliser les opérations et de fournir les bases dans le maniement quotidien.🇬🇧
Microsoft’s guideline therefore remains the same in the vast majority of its communication: you have to change equipment. At the same time, campaigns have been taking place for several months to raise public awareness of the issue and orient the people concerned towards other products like Linux. If the option is quite possible, it involves having someone in their entourage capable of carrying out operations and providing the basics in daily handling.#EndOf10 #Windows #BanMicrosoft #BanGoogle #BanChrome #BanGAFAM #NoGAFAM #Linux #OpenSource #Firefox #ZenBrowser #FloorpBrowser #Privacy #RegainPrivacy #NoSpy #Debian #Fedora #LinuxMint #Solus #Ubuntu #Gnome #KDE #Xfce #openSUSE #LibreOffice #FOSS #FLOSS #Environnement #FreeSoftware

Heute habe ich OpenSuSe Tumbleweed installiert. Einrichtung des Nvidia-Treibers war dank der Anleitung im SuSe-Wiki ohne Probleme durchführbar. Aber warum nur unter SuSe der HDMI-Port kein Sound ausgibt, muss ich nicht verstehen. Zum Glück kann man das einfach fixen. Es gibt eine Udev-Rule für den Nvidia-Treiber.
Einfach in der Datei nach dem Eintrag für Audio device suchen und auskommentieren. Reboot und Tada... Sound über HDMI. -

Mailserver-Migration weg von #Communigate in #eduBW.
Von gut 40 Behörden müssen die Daten aus altem System ausgelesen / exportiert werden.
Nach "nur" 3 Tagen 😟 (Freitag-Morgen bis gerade eben) einige Skripte fertig die den Admins das Leben hoffentlich leichter machen.
Vielleicht kann es sonst noch jemand brauchen. Nicht schön, quick & dirty, aber hilfreich!

Zum angeblich "alternativlosen Office Paket" aus Redmond geht es mir immer so, dass ich die ganzen Alternativen gar nicht alle testen kann. Seit Jahren fällt mir aber schon #SoftMakerOffice auf. Verfügbar für Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android. Aktuell als Beta frei verfügbar - https://www.softmaker.de/softmaker-office. Ich "häng" bei LibreOffice fest und bleib dort, aber vielleicht will sich jemand mal diese Alternative anschauen.

Bé, em resulta molt difícil trobar els post que vaig fer sobre la meva instal·lació de #OpenSuse #Tumbleweed, així que continuo aquí:
De moment molt content. Venint d' #Antergos (#Arch), vaig pensar que trobaria a faltar el AUR, però Tumbleweed també té repositoris "privats", de l'estil dels PPA d'Ubuntu, si no ho he entès malament. So far so good. Només que poden haver mogudes si algun d'aquests repos manuals té biblioteques base de versions posteriors a la de la versió actual... #LinuxPorn -
Tenía aquí unas radiografías en formato #DICOM en un lápiz USB¹ y #Aeskulap² no las abría. Así que tuve que instalar #dcmtk³. El repositorio comunitario desde el que instalé Aeskulap no tiene dcmtk como dependencia para su instalación automática.
#PhotoQt no las abre de ninguna de las maneras. Da cosa que #Aeskulap no se actualice desde el año 2007. Pero sigue funcionando.
¹ Escribible. Perfecto para colar virus en la casa del paciente con un ataque de malware.
² En #openSUSE instalación con un clic desde un repositorio comunitario aquí: https://software.opensuse.org/package/aeskulap

#pikaos auf meinem #xps9305 installiert. Soweit ich das sehe ist pikaos die einzige Distribution, die ein #niri Image anbietet.
Die Installation war etwas anstrengend, da der Installer encryption + #BTRFSSnapshots nicht unterstützt.
Letztendlich ist es auf eine btrfs-Rootpartition und eine verschlüsselte ext4-home-Partition hinausgelaufen. Immerhin. Snapshots waren mir auf jeden Fall wichtig, da ich #debiansid nicht ganz vertraue und ich der Meinung bin, daß jede Rolling Release Distribution snapshots out of the box mitbringen sollte.
Optisch ist pikaos sehr ansprechend. Vor allem #quickshell sieht toll aus!
Es gibt eine Art Willkommens-Menü für das erste Update. Es bietet die Möglichkeit Codec-Unterstützung zu installieren. Wieso bekommt #opensuse sowas nicht hin?! -
Lust auf spannende Vorträge rund um #DigitaleSouveränität, #FLOSS von hier bis nach Afrika, #KI, ... und hast auch Lust auf das schöne Dornbirn, dann los.

I’m Aleksandra, a 32-year-old Russian now living in Europe. Back home, from a young age, I felt state control tightening every day—surveillance cameras proliferating from almost none to nearly every street corner, social-media scanners mapping our conversations, and personal data weaponized to crush anyone who dared speak out.
Walking away from my family and the only life I knew was agonizing, but in Europe I discovered the freedom to think, to question, and to connect—liberated from constant eyes and hushed whispers. Yet even here, far from the Kremlin’s reach, I’m haunted by the knowledge that technology in the wrong hands can all too easily become a tool of oppression.
My journey—from underground activism in Kurgan Oblast*, where I bypassed state propaganda in search of the truth, to building a new life in the EU—revealed a terrifying reality: digital surveillance and data manipulation are not confined to a single regime. A handful of U.S.-based tech giants dominate the platforms we use every day—social networks, messaging apps, operating systems, and cloud services. If autocrats or rogue leaders learn to exploit these global networks, none of us, anywhere, can consider ourselves safe.
*In country of the former Soviet Union, an “oblast” is an administrative division roughly equivalent to a “region” or “province” in other countries—so “Kurgan Oblast” simply means the Kurgan Region.
Worse still, Europe’s political institutions—paralyzed by lobbying, bureaucratic inertia, and inconsistent regulations—have failed to push back. Time and again, EU policymakers have green-lit Microsoft, Google, Palantir and Amazon to embed themselves in our energy grids, healthcare systems, and manufacturing plants. Each new data center or “strategic partnership” deepens our vulnerability and erodes the very idea of European digital sovereignty.
This is no distant threat. As geopolitical tensions escalate and state-sponsored hacking grows more brazen by the day, our reliance on U.S. technology leaves us exposed—politically, economically, and personally. Every email, photo, message, or document we entrust to American servers becomes a potential entry point for manipulation, censorship, or outright sabotage.
That’s why I’m raising the alarm: we must stop treating our digital lives as a mere convenience and start treating them as the frontline in a battle for our very freedoms. It’s time for us to ask—why are we so bound to Silicon Valley’s giants, and how do we break free before it’s too late?
Why Sovereignty over Software and Hardware Matters
- Privacy and Data Ownership
• U.S. services routinely gather vast amounts of user data under legislation like the CLOUD Act, compelling companies to hand over information stored on their servers—even when that data belongs to non-Americans.
• When you upload your thoughts, photos, or messages to U.S.-based platforms, you lose control over how that data is mined, shared, or exploited by corporations and government agencies. - Resistance to Geopolitical Pressure
• Software supply chains dominated by a single country are vulnerable: sanctions, export controls, or political disputes can instantly cut off entire populations.
• True sovereignty means having access to homegrown or regionally diversified hardware and software that cannot be remotely disabled or weaponized through back-doors. - Economic Independence
• Tech royalties and subscription fees paid to U.S. companies drain capital from local economies.
• Cultivating and investing in indigenous tech ecosystems keeps talent, jobs, and revenue at home—fueling innovation and reducing reliance on external giants. - Digital Security
• Centralizing so many critical systems—cloud hosting, operating systems, productivity suites—with a handful of U.S. providers makes them prime targets for large-scale cyberattacks.
• Diversifying our software and hardware suppliers, including open-source alternatives, shrinks the attack surface and empowers communities to inspect and harden their code.
How to Move Away from U.S. Services and Software
- Embrace Open Source & Local Alternatives
• Replace Google Workspace with a self-hosted suite such as Nextcloud.
• Swap Microsoft Windows for Linux distributions like Linux Mint or Ubuntu—many are beginner-friendly and supported by vibrant global communities but do not forget to priorise those without export control law based on US (yes i talk about you both Fedora and Opensuse (see their license for download).
• Choose web browsers (Vivaldi, Mullvad, Iridium) over Google chrome or any other chromium completly controlled by an US compagny.
• Move from Google photo and Apple photo to Ente Photo or if you self-host Immich (or self hosted Ente Photo).
• Use End-To-End encrypted service only to remove any ouce of trust in the service you use (like Tuta, Ente, Tresorit, etc). - Host Data Locally or Regionally
• Use European or domestic cloud providers that comply with local privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR in Europe).
• For critical data—back up on your own server or NAS (Network Attached Storage) at home or in community-run data centers. - Support Regional Hardware Makers
• Where possible, buy laptops, smartphones, or IoT devices assembled or designed by regional companies. Even if components remain global, diversifying sources helps reduce single-vendor dependencies.
• Encourage local governments and institutions to invest in home-grown hardware labs and fab-less design. - Advocate and Educate
• Talk to friends, family, and colleagues about digital sovereignty. Share how easy it is today to switch core services.
• Contribute to local meetups or online forums on privacy tools, encryption, and alternative software. Community knowledge is our best defense.
Conclusion
Escaping the Russian government’s digital grip led me to see how easily any population can fall under another power’s technological dominion. For those of us outside the United States, reliance on U.S.-based services might feel inevitable—but it doesn’t have to be. By prioritizing privacy-respecting, open, and locally governed technologies, we can reclaim our digital sovereignty, protect our personal data, and foster sustainable economic growth closer to home. It’s a collective journey—and one we must begin today.#Apple #Dependency #Europe #Facebook #FOSS #GAFAM #Google #Meta #Microsoft #Privacy #Russia #Security #Software #Soverignty #Technology #USA
