DistroSea is a Linux resource I didn't know. It lets you try out in a browser combinations of over 80 distros and 500 versions. This article introduces the use of DistroSea.

do people actually favor the "app is ready" notifications in gnome? is there some hidden benefit to it that i'm not seeing? I'm annoyed with them for some apps, such as thunderbird email notifications and firefox links

Believing the shop managers blaming delivery truck drivers, the supermarket's customers order chips delivered by a "Large Lorry Model" :psyduck:Meanwhile, a group of anarcho-syndicalist farmers are building entire farmers' markets to replace the established supermarkets' management by Very Small Shell Scripts™ just to prove a point, filling immutable shelves with flat-packed goods and a JIT fast-moving inventory.

Bazzite may not be the best distro for tinkering, unlike CachyOS is. I guess one could find a way to tinker, but that wouldn't play to it's strength.
It's strength for me was how quickly I could get everything up and running, and how stable it's been. I haven't found a single Flatpak that didn't just install, and work as intended.
I've got bazzite GNOME running on my media computer, and bazzite KDE on my main computer. So far, both are just AWESOME.

Is It Panic Time? Linux’s Big Bad ‘Copy Fail’ Security Exploit ~

🚨 Breaking news: #CopyFail, a #vulnerability with a name so uninspired it could only have been cooked up by a committee, was shockingly not disclosed to #Linux #distros. Who would have thought that a problem involving a laundry list of irrelevant tools and acronyms, like 'John the Ripper' and 'yescrypt KDF', would need actual #communication skills? 😂

Hey Fedipeeps, is Debian an okay choice for modern desktops?
Does it still have ancient versions of programmes on the repos?
Does it at least allow Flatpak for up to date software?
Can one play Steam and games on it with nvidia drivers?
Does it support two monitors?
What are the downsides?
Ubuntu going ai is making my skin crawl..
What are the sane distros going forward?
ETA: Thanks for all the great answers. Think Debian will be the winner!

@FediFollows you ought to include the contacts of #opensource champions like the #developers of #linux #distros like #mxlinux #linuxMint #debian #archlinux, #developers of some prime #mastodon instances, #piefed instances, #codeberg , #github and email services like #mailo and #proton.
That way, we would be able to reach out to them through #socialmedia whenever we need their support.
This informal channel is oftentimes better than your regular email.

🙄 Oh look, yet another "tiny" OS for your Raspberry Pi that nobody asked for. Apparently, it's soooo flexible and modern, but you still need a PhD in #Linux to get past the intro. 🚀 Wow, running in RAM and no installation? Groundbreaking! Just like every other obscure distro no one uses. 🥱

Ya está disponible Trisquel 12.0 “Ecne”, basado en Ubuntu 24.04 LTS y con soporte hasta 2029. Entre otras, incluye mejoras clave en empaquetado, seguridad y software disponible: en el plano del kernel, se volvió más modular para reducir fallos durante la instalación y se endureció la seguridad mediante reglas más completas de AppArmor; en cuanto a navegadores, ahora ofrece varias alternativas 100% libres como GNU IceCat, ungoogled-chromium además de Abrowser; el sistema de backports sigue estando disponible y permite disfrutar de versiones actualizadas de varias aplicaciones. Las ediciones se mantienen: la principal con MATE, Triskel con KDE, la Mini con LXDE para hardware limitado y una educativa basada en Sugar, junto a una imagen de red pensada para despliegues más técnicos.

Topic: Linux distro development
I've just completed a full rebuild of my Linux distro, Laclin, and I thought I'd comment on a worthwhile point.
Today, the vast majority of 64-bit #Linux #distros support 32-bit mode primarily as a set of 32-bit libraries, referred to as "multilibs", that are used to permit the builds of 32-bit components.
Relatively few 64-bit distros permit the user to boot into a true 32-bit desktop, 32-bit kernel plus 32-bit applications, that might run on 32-bit boxes that are decades old.
I haven't seen a reason to drop support for true 32-bit mode. It's only a little more work compared to "multilibs" to build a complete tree of 32-bit executables. So, my distro does precisely that.
#Laclin is able to boot into any of the following modes: 64-bit kernel plus 64-bit programs, 64-bit kernel plus 32-bit programs [this mode is useful for 32-bit cross-compiles as compilers are able to use more RAM], and 32-bit kernel plus 32-bit programs [true 32-bit mode].
In true 32-bit mode, most things work normally. You can read email using Thunderbird, edit documents using LibreOffice, play videos and music, edit images using The GIMP, and browse the Web using the WebKitGTK mini-browser [which works even with modern websites].
The main things that are missing are support for Chromium and Firefox derivatives and all programs written in Rust.
So, why not support this mode?
Illustration: The attached JPEG is a screenshot of Laclin Linux booted into true 32-bit mode. The applications shown are 32-bit versions that will run, in some cases, on boxes that are decades old. -
I'm inclined to think that those in power within #systemd have zero interest in what anyone says or thinks at this point.
#MicroSlop, #Meta, #IBM, and many of the project's 'supporters' have their #proxies inside being pushed/pulled into #compliance. The privacy door on Pandora's box is open, and many want to see it stay that way.
Looks like nothing has been pushed to a release - yet. What then? Trusted #distros go scorched earth or split into even more factions?

The other day, I booted up a #Ubuntu #2510 just to see how things are on the #Gnome #desktop. That #DestopEnvironment is not for me. #Kubuntu #2510 looked great and felt great, made me excited for #2604 #LTS. We are so lucky to have so much choice for pretty much everything. I think it is about time to fire up #virtualbox and take other flavours and #distros for a spin. It has been years since I have used #Xubuntu and longer for #Lubuntu. #OpenSource is just the best 😀

I am getting ready to start my new job, for which I expect to get a work laptop. I can’t decide what distro to use but I’m thinking of going with an immutable one this time around because I don’t want to futz around with system package management.

Zorin OS 🐧is slated as an excellent pick for anyone switching to Linux right out of Windows | Zorin OS 18 passed *1 million downloads* in a month 📈
◉ Zorin OS: based on Ubuntu and purposefully designed for new comers to Linux
◉ Over 78% of these downloads indeed came from Windows users
◉ Zorin OS is free but one can support the project via Pro license (+advanced features) -

Was würdet ihr sagen ist die beste #linuxdistribution für alte Laptops (i5 6.gen, 8gb ram, gtx 960).
Ich glaube von mir selbst aus hätte ich #Linux mint installiert, aber vielleicht probiere ich auch mal #fedora
Es muss wirklich nur für Libre Office, browsen und ab und zu mal Streaming reichen.
Aktuelle habe ich Ubuntu drauf, aber das funktioniert nicht so gut und ich glaube mit anderen #distros könnte es besser laufen.
