I can report back that I have listened to the whole #HardFork / #SearchEngine episode and it *is* worth finishing. Sure, it could have been better if instead of making it an experiment to run their own vibe-coded instance, they just signed up for accounts on existing instances, but I still find it encouraging that the #Fediverse is being talked about more widely. It takes me back to the time (showing my age) when the Internet was new, and URLs were only understood by geeks (of which I am one) and I saw one written in its full glory (http://…) on the side of a rally car at a Motorsport event. That rocked my world, and I knew right there and then that the Internet would go mainstream. Will the Fediverse also go mainstream (and what challenges would that bring), or will it be forever in the same bucket as the year of #LinuxOnTheDesktop? -

As I build my new home desktop workstation (the previous one was 10 years old), I'm realizing that I've now been using #Linux on the Desktop for over 31 years, since mid-1994.
The fastest way for me to check how long it has been was to go and look for the "XFree86 P9000 Server Release Notes" since I had to write a driver for my Diamond Viper card before I could get out of terminal land and into X11.
Linux has come a long way since then, and my new machine is a few thousand times more performant than the one that I started with.

KDE Fedora 43 upgrade was so smooth 🤩! Some companies are famous for trying to make things that "just work", but this particular FOSS, maintained-by-volunteers OS raises the bar to "you don't even know something substantial happened" levels of just works.

Oh well, choosing a #filesystem and partitioning scheme is as deep a rabbit hole as choosing a Linux distro...

Job done. My Mum and her partner’s PC upgraded from Windows to Linux. One less PC going to the landfill. One less Windows device on the Internet. #Linux #LinuxMint #LinuxOnTheDesktop

Shout out to the annual developer event #akademy of @kde taking place this weekend in Berlin. You are truly pioneers of #LinuxOnTheDesktop and offer the strong shoulders that allow #EU_OS to make a compelling offer to replace #Windows in the public sector. Shall millions of new users benefit from your labour and creativity in the years to come! 🤘🚀🐧

Ich hab über Weihnachten verhältnismäßig lange Urlaub gehabt und Überstunden abgebaut.
Ich war zwar unterwegs, aber unterwegs hab ich n Netbook mit #Linux #Mint / #Nobara, was ich halt gerad vorziehe. 😅
Daheim hab ich vor allem gezockt, auf meinem Nobara Desktop.
Bis die GraKa starb und ich den 10 Jahre alten Notfallrechner ausm Keller holte, auf dem ein seit 6 Monaten nicht geupdatetes Mint lag. Eingeschaltet, 10 min Updates, läuft.
So. Und nu musste ich letzte Woche zurück zur Arbeit, wo ich einen #Windows Rechner hab. Der natürlich n Monat aus war und erstmal Updates installieren musste, bevor ich mich am SSO anmelden konnte. Damit war 3/4 des ersten Tages weg.
Und dann kam er an und wollte mir Win11 aufzwingen, für das er erstmal 40 GB (!!!) runterladen muss. 😳
Ich hör auf über Linux zu jammern, versprochen! 🫣
Linux is toll und ich will nicht wieder weg. Für mich war 2024 schon das Jahr des #LinuxOnTheDesktop 😁 -

Since my previous laptop still works, but is physically wanting, I decided to wipe it out and set it up as my "occasional #Windows" machine.
I couldn't get the touchpad or an external mouse working during installation and struggled to use keyboard navigation since it is so poorly supported. I can't remember the last time I experienced such poor support for hardware with #Linux. Just reminded of the person posting here that #LinuxOnTheDesktop couldn't be taken seriously because of... flaws...

Someone repurposed the crazy repeated Princess of the Crystal transformation / plot exposition sequences from Penguindrum to be about... the Year of Linux on the Desktop. And I can't stop laughing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4FlL1FCbvA
