Got a new used laptop and I'm about to free it from Windows.
Was thinking hard about which #linux distro to use this time (last was #manjaro and #kubuntu #ubuntu before that).
I like to try out "new" ones.

And now... well... why shouldn't I? Why not go back to where I once started.

Want to turn Ubuntu into a rolling release?

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Replace the development's code name with:

devel

The code name will vary depending on what copy of Ubuntu you're using

For example, Ubuntu 23.10 (Mantic Minotaur) is shortened to "mantic" while Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster) is shortened to "lunar"

sudo apt update

sudo apt dist-upgrade

sudo apt autoremove

sudo reboot

This places you on the developer branch. -- Use with caution

All right, got nVidia drivers and FFXIV happy with each other again, just in time for my lunch break to end.

"Fixed" by uninstalling/reinstalling the nVidia packages several times. This is some real Windows type nonsense here.

I've been on Kubuntu for a year or so now and just noticed that my session was X11 instead of Wayland. I could've sworn the default was Wayland these days.

So, a year or so later than I thought, I'm now trying Wayland. 😖

It wasn't as straightforward as I hoped, but after some trial and error I finally managed to dual boot on my main machine. So now Kubuntu will take the main stage and Windows will be there for compatibility reasons. Curious to see what Windows soundware I can manage to make usable in Linux 🤔

GNOME is shaping up really nicely for privacy

• Background App indicator
• App permissions
• Device Security Settings
• Mic / Camera* indicators
• Screen Sharing indicator
• Remote Desktop indicator
• Location indicator
• Incrementally better app sandboxing
• VPN (incl Wireguard) support
• Quick Network Toggles

Made possible by #Flatpak #Wayland #PipeWire and our talented community.

🥥 You've piqued my curiosity, Sonny.
Will these benefits being built into carry over into ? Or, as in my case, overlaid on Ubuntu? 🥥

I started a small survey in the LinkedIn group "The R Project for Statistical Computing" about #RKWard. The results so far:

  • Turns out that 83 % don't know it and
  • circa 8 % use it.

There were 139 people who participated in the survey. Given that RKWard is among the oldest #rstats IDEs and GUIs [1], it is somewhat surprising. I suppose we should improve the advertising of our tool.

Kali Linux has a new release.

Kali Linux is NOT designed for newbies.

I do not know if it is because of their interesting choice of logo or desktop theme and wallpaper. But the sheer amount of newbies who think to install and attempt to use, Kali Linux, is nuts, in my opinion.

If you are new to Linux, Kali Linux is not the distro for you. -- Trust me (and everyone who says the same).

#KaliLinux #Kali #Linux

Linux_Is_Best,

In close, if you're new to Linux, there are many user-friendly distros to choose from. For example:

  • Mx Linux
  • Kubuntu
  • Regata OS
  • Endeavour OS

But among the many user-friendly distros, I or anyone else here could suggest, please trust me, Kali Linux is not among them.

If all you wanted as the wallpaper and themes (styles), you can get them here without using Kali Linux.

Hat jemand Tipps zum Sichern alter E-Mails? Ich würde sie gerne durchsuchbar auf einem externen Medium archivieren, um sie von meinen Konten zu löschen. 🗑️🧹

#MailstoreHome wäre perfekt, läuft aber nur unter #Windows... 🤔

#MailPilar klingt interessant aber sehr kompliziert... 🤯 https://www.mailpiler.org/

Vielleicht könnte man das aber irgendwie über #Thunderbird oder #KMail einrichten? 💡

Been on #Kubuntu over a week now and it's pretty much rock solid. Happy times. #Linux

MattTheQuick, to ubuntu

Weird, #Ubuntu 22.04.3 is out but the #Kubuntu site still shows 22.04.2. Wonder when they’ll release things. I sort of always thought all the official flavors did things in lockstep.

Kubuntu is the best Linux distro for the desktop. #Kubuntu #Linux

MattTheQuick, to linuxmint

After seeing @lemba reply about #LinuxMint I’ve decided to fire it up in a VM and take it for a spin. I’m a #Kubuntu guy but I can see the reason why Mint might be a good start for someone who has been trapped in #Windows for so long. What other #Linux OSes would you recommend for a lifelong #Windows user who might be willing to switch?

davidbraze, to linuxmint
@davidbraze@mstdn.social avatar

Well, I updated #linuxMint to 21.1 and the cinnamon/mint menu became v slow and laggy

Turns out that somewhere along the line the screen reader was turned on and I didn't notice because I keep volume muted

turning off screen reader fixed menu responsiveness

Dem,

@davidbraze I have ended up giving #kubuntu a try and loving it! As a graphic designer the lack of thumbs in the file chooser was killing me! But in Kubuntu, I end up forgetting I am not in windows.

APT is completely broken and I don't know why. Whenever I try to install, remove, or upgrade, I get this error. My OS is Kubuntu 23.04. Any help would be appreciated!

What was the first distribution you installed / attempted to install?

For me - a Debian user - it was gentoo, around 2003, which was a mistake.

Frustrated in that I can't seem to get #OpenBSD to boot on my Thinkpad X1 Carbon (7th gen). It installs fine, but it seems no amount of bios fiddling will allow it to boot after install (with or without FDE).

I did buy the X1 7th gen because of @jcs's instructions at https://jcs.org/2019/08/14/x1c7 - and followed them, just get nothing, no matter what I try to boot to or what options in the bios I change.

FreeBSD boots and #Kubuntu boots. :\ Back to Kubuntu again for a while. Wasted time is sometimes just wasted time.

Another day, another set of nVidia drivers that can't do OpenGL. Really, really looking forward to trying an AMD-based system.

Trying to fix this shit is so much more fun than doing things I actually wanted to do.

Starting to think I probably should never try a rolling release cutting-edge Linux, my tolerance for broken stuff is basically zero these days.

ademalsasa,

This #poll about #ThinkPad is running for 4 days left with 70 people already participating (and is still counting).

Do you have a ThinkPad? I'd love you to share your experience here.

Once again, mine is T430 and it works perfectly with #Kubuntu.
