#Tuxedo switches for #TuxedoOS from #Ubuntu to #Debian. Similar reasons why I swtiched from #Xubuntu to #DebianStable:
https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/A-new-foundation-for-TUXEDO-OS-Switching-to-Debian.tuxedo

Unfortunately, Tuxedo chose the IMO most problematic Debian flavor: #DebianTesting.

@gnulinux asked Tuxedo how they are going to handle the #security issues because of delayed or missing security patches:
https://gnulinux.ch/tuxedo-os-wechselt-auf-debian-testing-und-beantwortet-die-si (German)

In short: Tuxedo is monitoring security patches released by others and maybe chooses to publish the corresponding unstable package in their repository if necessary.

However, this means that they add manual effort by Tuxedo as well as a delay to the overall process so that users of TuxedoOS get patches not as fast as with Ubuntu or Debian stable/unstable.

Let's see how that goes.

@luca Coming from #Xubuntu I prefer #Debian stable these days but to be honest: almost any #Linux distro will do. I'd choose according to the community rather than the distro.

I guess you already know that you can test most distros by booting from USB thumb drive. Use that.

More important for the user is the desktop environment. KDE (with Wayland) would be my recommendation.

Miracle! I just fixed a kernel panic problem on my stone-old Acer notebook following a well written comment from an Ubuntu forum. This feels like too easy to be true. Thank you, internet! <3

Xubuntu 26.04 LTS: Quando il gatto non c'è il topolino balla! 🚀🛠

Xubuntu non è solo 'Ubuntu con XFCE'; è una filosofia di utilizzo che mette al centro l'utente e le prestazioni. Vedremo come questa versione LTS si comporta nel 2026, analizzando tecnicamente la gestione delle risorse e la fluidità del desktop environment più amato dai puristi.

Wahrscheinlich gelöst: es war gar kein richtiges Einfrieren, sondern eine kaputte Maus.

Irgendwelche Probleme mit Ubuntu Desktop aktuell im Umlauf? Hab ein 22.04 LTS, das einfriert und ein Xubuntu, das ebenfalls einfriert.

First trial install of Xubuntu 26.04 successfully done.

There was no need to change my standard method, so it remains as described in my articles - see https://dev.to/geraldew/running-linux-purely-on-a-usb-drive-3mfg

The steps were:
- Download ISO and make thumb drive
- Go to spare laptop and remove hard drive
- Boot thumb drive
- Plug in target USB SSD drive
- Run installer
- Shutdown remove thumb drive
- Boot on SSD
- Re-install GRUB as removable
- Reboot
- Install rEFInd

Thus making a portable full Linux system.

It's #ubuntu 26.04 LTS release day. Just checking on the state of the #xubuntu release which happens to feature one of my photos as the stock wallpaper. This one was taken from a clifftop on the isle of Portland in the UK.

#Linux adventures... After my last "successful" attempt to install the latest version of kdeconnect by using the #kde neon libraries. And getting left with a very broken #xubuntu...

I'm now attempting to install inside #distrobox, which is a tool I'd never heard of till today. It's unfortunate that the version available for #Ubuntu is so old and that there is no #AppImage or #flatpak alternative.

This process is.... not fast.

Installing a tool shouldn't take so long that I could post this.
