The recent versions of are quite good - used it on a while ago for some time.
is alright for me.

is by far, for me, the gold standart. It just works.

Indeed, it fits any role quite nice. To be frank, I drive the default look since it fits the bill for me - no theming at all.
I'm more focused on the things I do with it than how it looks.

The functionality is top. And as you said, the stability of is amazing!

Just setup a 2nd hand bought T480s. Had it running with . Now runs 11, and

The efficiency boost is honestly mind blowing. And that is with so many keystrokes to wrap my head around. Absolutely worth the money and lets me work at least four times as fast as with the previous setups.

Would I have liked to keep on using Linux? Yes but at this point if one is doing more than just browsing the web and reading E-Mails it is very hard to recommend.

in the package has been sat at V0.12.2-2 for almost a year now. The latest version is stuck in the packages. I build alacritty myself using cargo crates and have had no issues with V0.13. I'm guessing it's the switch from YAML to TOML for the config that's the issue. But surely you can create a script to convert this? Poor stable is still at V0.11 :loading: .

Right, I've managed to compile UnrealEngine for Stable, which feels like an achievement. If only I could do the same for a reasonably modern version of Shotwell!

Not happy with the privacy nightmare Microsoft is introducing with 'Recall' in Windows 11?

Do consider installing Fedora. I am happy user for a while now. It works perfect and it looks the part!

@voorstad @jwijnings dat is een kwestie van smaak.

Persoonlijk zou ik geen op redhat gebaseerd systeem meer willen.

vind ik persoonlijk ‘makkelijker’, maar er zijn meer opties.

Voor is heel veel rete-goede documentatie.

Als je herhaalbaar en reproduceerbare installaties wilt denk ik dat een goede keus kan zijn.

How can I hide a service behind a proxy with #Apache ?
Like I have @navidrome running on standard port 4533 but I would like to Proxy it behind apache. So when I go to my website(dot)com/music I can reach it (as well with the apps so prolly websockets needs to be configured?).

I'm doing:
ProxyPass /music/ http://127.0.0.1:4533/music/
ProxyPassReverse /music/ http://127.0.0.1:4533/music/

But when i go to mywebsite(dot)com/music it goes to mywebsite(dot)com/app/

WTF?

Cool idea - #Xebian - a distribution based on unstable #Debian, polished XFCE with nice minimalist wallpapers + Calamares installer. Just why don't we have it on #distrowatch? Strange...

@kubikpixel @jensens strongly disagree.

I am using #Debian for decades (!) on the desktop!

But yeah, for others I had recommended #Ubuntu. Since latest changes in Ubuntu that exception is no more...

It is really great to have choices :-)

Question for #Debian users:

I'm running testing on my laptop, as I have been for a couple decades. I've been waiting for the t64 transition to settle out before resuming updating packages.

I think the transition is now (mostly?) done, but aptitude is still flummoxed when trying to resolve 1300+ package updates.

I've tried to find small groups of packages that I can manually select and upgrade, but with few exceptions pulling on one of these threads quickly leads to a tangled mess of broken packages.

Any advice for how to tackle this would be most appreciated!

You get spied on by Microsoft, any asshole in the world knows what to do: you get a Distro with a 25 year reputation, an indestructible economy shitbox laptop, you update once a week and that's your base, get me? That's your fortress of fucking solitude. That puts you, for the rest of your life, at a level of fuck you. Somebody wants to install malware, fuck you! Own your laptop. Have a couple flatpaks. Dont drink. That's all I have to say to anybody on any social level."

If you are curious and courageous, and run #Debian testing or unstable, you might like to try the latest snapshot of #Gajim by @gajim. It features message replies and message reactions.

Expect bugs! This is not a release version, but a snapshot. It's called "experimental" for a reason.

echo "deb https​://deb.debian.org/debian/ experimental main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/experimental.list

sudo apt update

sudo apt install -t experimental gajim

Okay, I'm doing it. I'm giving a fair shot for the first time in about a decade. You fediverse people convinced me.

@OrionKidder@mas.to avatar

@LouisIngenthron I have installed four(?) different distros in the last week, and they all went in fine except vanilla #Debian, which I don't know how I screwed it up, but I did. #Ubuntu, #LinuxMint, and #PopOS were all just as easy as #Windows was once upon a time: click "ok" a bunch until you hit a welcome screen. Notably absent was the requirement that I sign into their exclusive service to even use the software.

Just saying. Your mileage has clearly varied.
