  1. A mí me parece que la iniciativa, especialmente adaptada por #Canonical con su #Ubuntu, de sustituir #GNU #Coreutils con su versión escrita en #Rust es más una excusa que otra cosa. Creo que la motivación principal es extirpar la base de GNU. Es decir, las licencias #copyleft.

    Rust es más seguro por diseño / abstracción de compilador y tal. Pero, a ver, C no "te obliga" a escribir software inseguro. Coreutils es un conjunto de herramientas tan probado que no hay problema de seguridad.

  6. While everyone is looking at #Omarchy now and telling people not to use it: Don't forget to also tell people what a shitty, unethical company #Canonical is and that they should not use #Ubuntu. People have been ignoring that for much too long. Nazis are one of the most dangerous, but by far not the only problem around tech and #Linux.

  7. Learn what Ubuntu telemetry collects, including Ubuntu Report and Insights, how to disable telemetry, and how to harden Ubuntu Linux.

  8. @pedersen oh I believe it. has gotten orders of magnitude better at this.

    My bit is more of precautions than anything.

    Funny enough, my daily driver used to be until 24.04 release. 😅 and before that, was or . 🫠

    But for stable platform, I've always targeted . I like the bleeding edge to test limits, yet build for production with things that are boring. Makes those migraines disappear. 😅

  9. I've been running Ubuntu 26.04 'Resolute Raccoon' on my 'Streaming Fortress' PC
    NUC7 - Intel J5005 - 16GB DDR4-2400 RAM - 120GB SSD (2013 Hardware)
    for the last two months now.

    I put this machine through the wringer: heavy streaming on a bit ambiguous shady sites films and tv series, and running custom 'Fortress' scripts to isolate it completely from my home network.

    Despite the hardware being a bit old and the heavy workload, it’s been a flawless experience so far. Even the major updates didn't break my custom scripts or security structure. Well done, Ubuntu team!! 🐧 🫶

  10. Ubuntu Linux firmasi rahallistakin säästöä ja vakautta lisääväksi voimanpesäksi Windowsin tilalle?

    Canonical (yhtiö Ubuntun takaa) on hiljan päättänyt että laitetaan sitä tukea kokonaiset 15 vuotta. Ei ole kiire eikä hätiämitiä.

  11. @wimpy I voted 20+ years, should be something which more or less filled your (professional) life time. But I am one of the few persons which actually have done a "life's work", #OpenPrinting and it is actually more than 20 years old already ... And in both my jobs, #MandrakeSoft from 2000-2006 and #Canonical from 2006-now my job was by 80-90% managing OpenPrinting ...

  12. So, #Linux users of #Mastodon, what is your recommendation for a #distro for a techy person who used to use Linux ( #MEPIS was my favorite flavor back when I was using #Nix regularly, but I did run #Mint, #Ubuntu (12.04 or 12.10 was the last version I ran exclusively as the main OS on one of my PCs...which, was, 11ish years ago? Rude), #Xubuntu, #Lubuntu, #Kubuntu (getting the picture?), #PuppyLinux, #ArchLinux, #Slackware (is that still a thing?), #KaliLinux (Started using it when it was #BackTrack, though), #FreeBSD, #FedoraLinux (12 or 13?), #RedHat (#RHEL) etc.

    You get the picture...I used mostly #Canonical / #Debian based OSes, but had a sprinkling of #RPM based, and others. I did some small modifications to the #Kernel and such, Almost got MEPIS running on an old #IBM #ThinkPad, and was able to salvage a lot of data from "dead," machines thanks to 'Nix.

    These days, however, I just want one that works. I have way too much going on to mod and have to mess with it constantly to keep it working.
