The best time to learn a new Linux tool is when nothing is on fire.
Pick one command you use often and go one level deeper this week.

Already use grep? Try grep -r, grep -v, grep -E.
Already use find? Add -exec to actually do something with the results.
Already use systemctl? Try systemctl list-dependencies.

You don't need a course. You need 20 minutes and a test machine. man is still the best documentation that exists.

I think about setting up a linux desktop with main partition of btrfs. What should I use for snapshots?
I know about snapper, btrfs-assistant and timeshift

Huh. Surprised by the fact that Linux users aren’t the rabid text expansion users I’d assumed they were.

I’ve got Espanso installed now, but there don’t seem to be many (Wayland) options other than that.

First experiences with @nixos_org on Raspberry Pi:

• Documentation is just *bad* at explaining things in a way that I understand
• Got confused abt the image download
• Learning Nix has been a struggle

.....but:

I LOVE the experience of declarative service definitions on the server!

It's just SO GOOD...... :D

Blog post about my new cluster setup, just as soon as I've finished building it :P

#learninglinux one step at a time. Today I needed to #zip up some stuff and had to look up for the details, so here's a link, just in case :]

Learning linux is a great career goal. But how to get started? Well you need some basics, but you also need something to do with linux, otherwise its just this thing that you don't have a reason to use.

I think step one, should be to build a #homelab that will let you run systems to learn on. So, In the first episode of my practical Learning Linux it's all abou thow to turn an old Laptop into a basic Linux based Homelab hypervisor!

Got stuck for about 2 hours when my #opensuse #tumbleweed installation has gone to the emergency mode. Imagine the look in the eyes of a #linux #newbie haha...
Luckily, I've found out there is an ellegant one-line solution.
In the end, data saved, system is working again, all good.

I tried to install #BatoceraLinux on my laptop yesterday. Alas, the gz archive is apparently corrupted, I can't extract the image file from it.
Or is the error on my side? Might be.

Since I've found LINUX MAGAZINE - @linuxmagazine - along with, obviously, LINUX FORMAT, I got hooked up a lot! Just got a latest issue of the Linux Magazine, again, it's terrific, half of the things I have no clue about (lol), which makes further researching and learning so much fun!
I'm gonna miss those mags in print once I move back home...

Hmm...I see YT videos about why people quit #linux and go back to Windows. OK, I see the point with gaming. Also for, say, very specialized userbase.
But nope, for using browser, #libreoffice and #audacity and a few other common apps, I definitely don't need to use Windows.
I still need to learn loads of things, but for what my work requires, I am more than comfortable.
People just need to leave their comfort zone...for something better.

After trying out #antix on an old HP Mini 210 Netbook, I dug out an old and dusty HP Pavilion Slimline previously used by my parents. It's a #32bit Intel Pentium E6500 @ 2.93GHz, 2GB DDR3 1066MHz, ATI Radeon HD 4350 with Windows 7. I did a backup of their personal files and unplugged the HDD. I installed the Samsung #870Evo SSD and decided to install #DebianBookworm #debian12. It went successfully! I just used the i386 CD iso image from the Debian site on the #Ventoy drive. #learninglinux
