  1. The screenshot is actually a different distro, not PClinuxOS, but starts with the same name.

    Turns out 'PClinuxOS Debian' is a modification of Devuan with the PC Linux OS tools.

  5. Stepped into _Generics crap again. Previously it was related to u8"strings", but now they broke L"strings" They might have always been broken, idk.

    So, L"fuck" is treated as int* in _Generic
    I can add (char32_t*) in front of it, but I better wait for both #clang and #gcc hive minds to catch up.

    Yet another crap comes from #gcc and incarnates in buggy code generation for a pretty innocent function. That starts from -O2 onward. Specifically, it's GCC 14.2.0-19 in Excalibur, #devuan

  6. My Sunday challenge: installing #Devuan in place of #OpenBSD on my laptop so I can install #postmarketOS on an old tablet, because for some reason I only have a blue USB port on that laptop (my SFF PC has a whole bunch of USB ports, but none are blue). Let's see how well restoring the backup will work once I reinstall OpenBSD.

    I wonder how many years worth of work would it take to create a #NetBSD / #smolBSD based mobile distro after #postmarketOS has done more progress...

    I'm not leaving Linux, but I am leaving systemd. I've been in the process, slowly, for quite some time, but took some real concrete steps more recently. Then the systemd age field BS popped up and erased any remaining doubts I had.

    So, unless Debian brings back a non-systemd option, I'll be switching the remainder of my machines to Devuan.

  8. GTK2 Gets an Unofficial Revival Fork for Legacy Linux Apps

    A Devuan community developer has launched GTK2-NG, a fork designed to maintain compatibility for legacy GTK2 software on current Linux systems

  9. Por si no os habéis enterado probablemente te toque actualizar tu sistema GNU/Linux ya que ha aparecido un bug importante: copy fail

    Aunque en la lista no sale, ya hay parches en Devuan y Debian también.

  10. @edlinks No le daría mucha importancia. La propia #Devuan tiene un recorrido muy limitado. La usan, literalmente, cuatro gatos. Así están entretenidos ellos, je je.

  11. @ClancyParliament

    I'm using Devuan on a fleet of old Lenovo X-220 laptops. Very pleasing.

    Devuan is a systemd-free distro, which removes quite a bit of cruft searching for a problem to solve.

  12. There's some good distros out there. Lots to try.

    I also want to make my own distro... eventually.

    If you are looking for init options, I highly recommend at least trying Devuan and Artix.

    #Linux #Devuan #Artix
  13. - Veo: alguien está intentando resucitar GTK 2.
    - Me pregunto: para qué cojones...
    - Respuesta: está alojado en un git de #devuan.

    ¡Nada más que añadir!

    En el mundillo hay un grupito de matados (en mi opinión y por los hechos) reaccionarios, nostálgicos de un gran pasado que no existió. En sus cabezas, sí, claro.

  14. "Ubuntu going all-in on AI slop? Come back to Debian. Well, at least just long enough to then switch to Devuan."

    #Ubuntu #Debian #Devuan #systemd #snark

  15. @nivex I’ve had no regrets since I switched from #Ubuntu to #Debian years ago. (#Canonical was already bloating the OS and giving us hints that they might not be the good guys after all.) The systemd stuff has me a bit concerned and so I’m thinking about another shift to #Devuan… or maybe #NixOS if I’m feeling super-adventurous.

  16. KDE Plasma 6.6 introduces the ability to extract text from screenshots taken using Spectacle, KDE's default screenshot-taking tool, similar to Snipping Tool in Windows.

    In some Linux distributions with KDE as the default desktop, Spectacle sometimes doesn't show the "Extract text" button that enables this. Descriptions on how to fix the issue in OpenSUSE, NixOS and Arch are easily discoverable on the Web, but for Devuan (and presumably Debian) fixes are much harder to find.

    I'm running Devuan "freia" (based on Debian testing). In a terminal, run:

    sudo apt install tesseract-ocr tesseract-libs

    Type y when prompted to install all dependencies and restart Spectacle if it's already running. Voilà. For me this worked; your mileage may vary.

  21. Тільки що поставив на свій старий ноутбук #devuan. Яку б ви вибрали систему ініціалізації як гарну альтернативу #systemd?

  22. Getting a ThinkPad X13 (AMD Ryzen) ready for someone to look at. He is wanting a replacement for his Chromebook, but heard that I sold ThinkPad laptops.

    I installed KDE desktop, then applied a ChromeOS theme. I think it looks okay, but really isn't much different than the default Breeze themes, though it does have an annoying (to me) Google logo that flashes on the screen between login and displaying the KDE desktop.

    I installed both the Brave and Chromium browsers.

    I may try other KDE themes, but all in all I think this would be a powerful replacement for a Chromebook.

  23. For Linux newbies, the Debian installer may be a bit challenging (at least it used to be). So mxLinux wins there.

    The Devuan installers are also not Linux newbie friendly, but I really like the TUI based Devuan Server installer and then choose a desktop environment as one of the last steps.

    I chose Devuan because I am interested in not having SystemD.

    Debian is also good, but for ease of use and installation I would usually recommend Linux Mint Debian Edition to a Linux Newbie would wants to run Debian.

    So I am guessing the reason is that some Debian derivatives have an an installer that is easier to use and understand than Debian itself.

    #Debian #LMDE #Devuan #mxLinux
  24. As an former Ubuntu fan boy, for well over a decade, I second the recommendation of MXlinux over Ubuntu.

    Lighter weight and Debian base is great. It is also friendly to Linux newbies with helpful tools, community and documentation.

    I use Devuan on many of my computers, which is also based on Debian.

  34. So, I rescued a 12-year-old Macbook Pro, given up by its owner because Apple had orphaned it from security updates, and also it was suffering from Apple High-Qwality Spicy Pillow Syndrome.

    I replaced the battery and installed Linux on it.

    And I gotta say, this was the most satisfying thing I've done with a keyboard in years:

    # apt-get purge systemd libnss-systemd

    #Devuan Excalibur installed/upgraded from Debian Trixie like a champ. Now I don't have to deal with extraneous horseshit when Lennart adds systemd-mountd, systemd-sshd, systemd-bourne-shell, systemd-emacs, etc, etc...

    Thanks to @landley for the post that finally convinced me to give Devuan a go. I'd been thinking about it for years, but didn't feel like setting aside a bunch of debugging time which I assumed would be needed.

    Now to figure out how to switch to s6 from runit. ( @ska )

  35. Identificar y limpiar Kernels desde la terminal

    Existen muchas maneras para identificar nuestro Kernel en el sistema Gnulinux, tanto de manera gráfica, como usando la linea de comandos en la terminal, hoy te comparto una que a mi me da muy buen resultado. […]

  36. Okay, if today is a day of morons, I must mention #systemd, #netplan, and maintainers of #nftables who specified network-pre.target for Wants and Before in nftables.service.

    Just think: network-pre

    They are happily unaware of tunnels created by netplan.

    And netplan cannot create tun interfaces, LOL.

    #ifupdown and #sysvinit worked like a charm but which VPS provider offer, say, #devuan ?

    Modern developers drag us back to the stone age.

  37. The maintainers of #Vendefoul Wolf Linux added #SonicDE 6.3.5 packages to their stable release based on #Devuan 6 Excalibur. They also announced to stop releasing any ISOs with #KDE Plasma and solely focus on SonicDE. Please see their announcements at x.com/vendefoulwolf/status/203 and x.com/vendefoulwolf/status/203.

  38. No entendía por qué mi máquina virtual con #devuan andaba tan lenta, y claro, el problema fue capa 8: yo mismo le configuré 512MiB de RAM 😅

    Sí, estoy haciendo pruebas de estrés en el sistema, análisis de memoria libre, disponible, load average, y PSI.

    El video que estaba preparando sobre estos temas se está extendiendo mucho... creo que van a salir 2 videos, para poder sumergirnos más en algunos detalles 😃
