Sorry, new to Lemmy - !debian

I want to be clear on my bias here: I firmly believe that open source would not be a ‘thing’ if it weren’t for Red Hat. Linus Torvalds himself once said (albeit 10 years ago) that the shares he received from Red Hat before their IPO was ‘his only big Linux payout’. I don’t think anyone would disagree with the...

I didn’t find this yet, but please downvote to hell itself and drop a link to the proper prior post in comments if you find it....

While I disagree with Red Hat’s decision to hinder source access, this move from Rocky (a commercial company!) seems even more disingenuous, imho.

Hi,...

I know snap is fairly unpopular in the Linux community, and I’ve seen mixed responses regarding Flatpak. I wanted to know, what’s the general opinion of people in this community regarding this 2 package managers?

I’ve been working on my boot time lately, but I realize I really don’t have a good handle on what it should be. I am hoping some of you will share yours so we can all get a feel for it. I’m including some HW specs here also because I’ve heard it can be relevant:...

I have tried my moms windows laptop and i hated it. I need a laptop for linux but i don’t know what laptop to buy so can anyone recommend a cheap laptop that works well with linux? I also don’t know what linux distro to use, Linux mint? Zorin OS? Ubuntu?

" It’s been a while coming, but the beta of Linux Mint 21.2, codenamed “Victoria”, is here with a new version of the Cinnamon desktop among other updated features to enjoy."...

Up until now, System76 only sold whole systems and onlyshipped them within North America. Now they will sell a variety of components to 60 countries. Including their Thelio desktop cases in three different sizes

With Manjaro’s Settings Manager I was able to install it before it hits Arch’s repositories as default, and I’ve been running it this morning. Manjaro has one of the cleanest ways to manage kernels or switch to real time kernels.

I am one of those poor bastards that had a hell of a time getting my Airpods working with Linux. Searches led me to going to /etc/bluetooth/main.conf and changing ControllerMode to “bredr”. This got the AirPods working, but then my bt keyboard and mouse wouldn’t connect....

I’ve installed Fedora 38 with an encrypted system partition since I’ll be traveling with my device. OS is running fine but now I’d like to have a more human readable label in dolphin for that partition. All renaming attempts in the terminal with “e2label” and “btrfs filesystem label” failed. The KDE partition...

SystemD is blamed for long boot times and being heavy and bloated on resources. I tried OpenRC and Runit on real hardware (Ryzen 5000-series laptop) for week each and saw only 1 second faster boot time....

I have grown up around Linux and have had people like my dad use it near me my whole life. I even booted a fedora version once on a very old machine when I was younger as a way for my dad to teach me about Linux. Sadly I never really caught on at the time....

I see all the drama around Red-hat and I still don’t get why companies would use RHEL (or centos when it existed). I was in many companies and CentOS being years behind was awful for any recent application (GPU acceleration, even new CPU had problems with old Linux kernels shipped in CentOS)....

All Red Hat had to do was stop talking and the problem would eventually go away, the problem is nobody ever stops talking and every time they do the RHEL problem only keeps getting worse and worse

I’m happy with Obsidian for taking my notes but I want to find something I can host myself to track web articles, pdfs, mp3 files that I reference as research. I suppose I’m looking for a replacement for DEVONthink or Zotero....

As a person raised by GUIs, an extra visual confirmation and an extra prompt is a nice touch. I also like when the system says “Oh, is that a directory? No problem, I’ll give you the usual treatment.” You know what I mean?...
