I like my little home lab and my tiny #snac instance but I'm trying to simplify my home mindspace / meatspace so thinking of burning it all down this weekend (which starts in about two hours). That likely means decommissioning my instance, exporting my @readeck stuff, and wiping my lab NUC.
My lab NUC is faster than my desktop and uses about a third of the power. I'd swap SSDs between the two (better SSD in the desktop), install #AeonDesktop, run Readeck in a local container (probably behind @tailscale) and staying on this Mastodon instance for a while. Then, offering this (tiny, Xeon-based) desktop to my co-worker for free to replace her Pi in her home lab, and voila: Marie Kondo Home Lab.

Friday, before the start of the week-end I received the @frameworkcomputer #framework12 laptops for my parents.
They will be installed with #Linux of course.As they won’t be delivered before some time, I ’m playing a bit with them. One have been installed with #fedora #silverblue, the other one with #aeondesktop.
So far I like what I’ve seen with the #gnome desktop:
* When the screen is rotated, the keyboard is disabled.
* When in tablet mode, the screen orientation follow the device orientation.
* The power draw in sleep mode looks ok.
* BIOS/UEFI update are supported with #lvfs.But I also have some issues:
* The virtual keyboard in tablet mode, is only in qwerty, even if the system is configured with another layout.
* When the virtual keyboard appears, some windows content is not moved above the keyboard, which might make it difficult to see what one is typing.
* On the Aeon install I had to `sdbootutil --ask-pin update-predictions` after installation to have the #tpm2 unlock working. -
The #Aeon Desktop's GTK4 graphics issue making some apps unusable has been resolved in the snapshot I installed today.
Nautilus/Files is among the apps that now work as expected.
This also goes for OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, which is where Aeon gets its packages

There's a bug in #OpenSUSE Tumbleweed that is kind of wrecking GNOME on the #AeonDesktop.
Luckily the BTRFS setup enables me to boot from an old(er) snapshot and keep on working. I'm running on the 11/14 image until this gets fixed in Tumbleweed and flows to #aeon.
This is the first bug in Aeon to affect me in a couple of months. I'm looking for a quick fix, which should come in the form of a newer GTK4 package.

@Canageek if I were going to direct completely inexperienced windows users at something based on openSUSE, it would probably be #Aeondesktop https://aeondesktop.org, but some folks don’t like the idea of “immutable” or GNOME. My personal project, shipping the Plasma Desktop #Kalpa just isn’t there yet for me to recommend to “new” users

I like #AeonDesktop. It's an immutable system from #OpenSuse that starts you with a very clean and minimal #Gnome desktop.
The system is responsive, with automatic updates that happen invisibly in the background. In the event of a bad update, it automatically rolls back to the last working state, which is good.
Software is provided primarily through #Flatpak, but it comes with a preconfigured #Distrobox/#Podman setup for OpenSuse #Tumbleweed if you need not-flatpak stuff, and you can add other OSes, so if you really need it, you can pull something from the AUR or whatever (although I question why you're using an immutable OpenSuse system if you need something from the AUR).
It comes without bells and whistles, assuming you can pick out your own. There's not even default wallpaper.
So if you're a beginner, a lazy developer who wants a system that just takes care of itself, or otherwise want a stable, secure #Linux system that just kinda works, Aeon Desktop does the job.

es la norma desde la aplicación de las políticas de austeridad en el año 2010.
Si la #UniónEuropea quisiera sustituir a Windows, su plan debería ser mucho más ambicioso y apostar fuerte por empresas cuya sede está en la UE y tengan a #Linux como el centro de su negocio.
Dentro de la informática en general y de Linux en particular, la apuesta que tendría que hacer la UE está muy clara en mi opinión: el ecosistema #SUSE, abarcando también a #openSUSE y proyectos derivados como #AeonDesktop -
Finally reinstalled my laptop to Aeon Desktop. Just added nerd fonts. Enabled fingerprints unlock. Ptyxis looks like a great terminal too. And love GNOME 48 and the new font.
The saddest part was when the brand new Seagate HDD suddenly died during the backup restore process. 😖

Ich bin ja großer Fan des #AEONDesktop und habe nun auch auf meinem #NAS inzwischen überall #OpenSuse #MicroOS installiert.
Default-Einstellung: Die Updates werden zu festen maintenance-window gefahren und dann muss neugestartet werden, um sie anzuwenden (stabiler: während Ausführung, fähig zum automatischen Rollback).
Inzwischen gibt es die Option #SoftReboot, so dass das geupdatete OS-Image eingespeist, aber kein kompletter Reboot/nur der userspace betroffen ist: https://microos.opensuse.org/blog/2024-06-13-soft-reboot/ -
@izzy Ablauf der Distronutzung: 4 Jahre #Ubuntu, 10 Jahre #ArchLinux, 1 Jahr #Debian #Testing und seit diesem Jahr #opensuse #microos und davon der Spin #aeondesktop (rolling release, immutable, failsafe durch btrfs snapshots, aber leider noch release candidate).

Phew, I am pretty thankful for #aeondesktop based on #opensuse 's #microos and #tumbleweed .
A faulty update occured ( https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1228659 ). That wasn't great, but because it uses #btrfs #snapshots for the #immutable os, I just changed back to a working snapshot and had a working #linux system again.
At first it didn't want to boot into the last working snapshot. But I found out in the forums, that you have to press "F8" while booting (after the #uefi was ready).
Big thanks to @sysrich ! -
Hey @thelinuxEXP,
Recently, #AeonDesktop RC3 got released, which according to @sysrich is pretty much feature complete and might be an interesting video idea. It supports FDE by default, boots with SystemD boot, the installer can auto-backup existing systems during reinstallation and lot more.
