  1. I'm currently a little desperate. I'm on #Xubuntu #Linux with #zsh and #tmux. I'm using the resurrect plugin for tmux, and I've also installed "Oh my tmux!" from here: github.com/gpakosz/.tmux

    Maybe that's a little over-configured ... .

    What I'm trying to get is the resurrect plugin to restore my previously saved session with all running apps in their panes/windows.

    What I get is the restoration of all my tmux windows and panes with the previously started applications in there (bmon, qalc, htop, nvim). But ... unfortunately htop is the only application running when the restoration is finished. bmon, qalc and nvim seem to crash. I can see the "UI" of the application (for example nvim) and underneath the prompt of my shell.

    I've played around with several configuration options but nothing helped. Is there any good tutorial for noobs like me? And is this even possible what I'm trying to achieve?

  3. Got #debian installed on my wife's computer. Been running #Xubuntu for years, but / ran out of space and I couldn't upgrade; could barely update. And, I am not a fan of snaps at all.

    Anyhow, back with Debian after about 20 years or so --- after #Gentoo and #MandrakeLinux (yeah, it was a while ago), Debian was one of my go-tos. Often one of the first I would recommend.

    Problem now is: I set up #Japanese input for my wife years ago. No idea what I did. Need to figure out again.

  5. Dites les utlilisatrices et utilisateurs de #Linux (pardon : #gnulinux :), , et particulièrement ceusses qui utlisent #debian13 ou #xubuntu 26 : c'est x11 ou Wayland ?
    🤔

    (Nân, mais, paske sans xpenguins, je survivrais pô 😁 )

  6. I've always been too afraid of tiling window managers and also too lazy to learn new behaviors. I've tried it many times but I failed again and again because of my laziness.

    Yesterday I've installed #herbstluftwm on #Xubuntu on a low end Fujitsu U727 notebook and played around for while with the configuration. Well, I think I fell in love this time. 😍 Very smooth! And I think replacing xterm with #alacritty was also a good idea.

    Is there anything I should definitely try?

  11. #Tuxedo switches for #TuxedoOS from #Ubuntu to #Debian. Similar reasons why I swtiched from #Xubuntu to #DebianStable:
    tuxedocomputers.com/en/A-new-f

    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:
    gnulinux.ch/tuxedo-os-wechselt (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.

  16. I've used #LinuxMint in the past, but for the past several years have been on a #Xubuntu distro made specifically for #HamRadio (i.e. Andy's Ham Radio Linux).

    Given the news I've seen thrice this morning, I asked Junie why I should care about this #Wayland thing in #Cinnamon

  27. @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.

  32. 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
