@mtf Do I look like a cute girl like this😇😇

DmMacniel,

I would rate you cute girl/10!

DmMacniel,

It all started with SuseLinux with KDE2. Then a long while it was Windows only. In 2021 I dabbled with Elementaryos, because it damn looks beautiful. In 2023 then I took the plunge. Started with Garuda Linux. Then KDE Neon then Fedora, then OpenSuse, Fedora Silverblue, then Nobara Linux, Fedora Kinoite, then back to Mint, Garuda and now’ve I settled on Nobara KDE.

Amarok, KDE's legendary music player, is out with version 3.0.1.

@kde

DmMacniel,

Yeah but Rhythmbox is GNOME and Amarok is KDE :)

What are the differences between the 'base' of various Linux distributions?

I’ve been using linux desktop for a year or so now. One noteable thing i keep seeing is that one person will say I dont like XYZ distrobution because of its base. But I am still a little unsure what is meant by it. I am assuming the main difference between each base is the choice of package management(?). But what other...

DmMacniel,

Yes it is

DmMacniel,

Ain’t it glorious:D

DmMacniel,

Thanks, those are trying times when you offer me a glorious Eggroll. J/K Im running Nobara right now anyway :)

DmMacniel,

Keep in mind that Bazzite runs an entirely different approach as Nobara, as it is immutable. You won’t be able to use yum/dnf to manage packages and flatpak is the preferred way to add software. To add systemwide new packages/applications you need to use rpm-ostree instead of yum/dnf.

DmMacniel,

If it’s such a big security risk, how come the most popular and widely used operating systems in the world and their users seem to be unaffected by it?

Are they though? My corporate managed Windows machine either refuses an elevated command or asks me for my password/fingerprint. Same with macOS. Just because you don’t secure your Windows machine doesn’t mean other do the same.

I guarantee, most new users coming to Linux from Windows/macOS are going to laugh and look at you funny if you try to justify entering your password again and again and again.

the least pressing concern for any Windows/macOS user. Besides, you can install user-wide application without any password requirement, if you want to change something on system level (and lets face it, when does a regular user does that on a regular basis?) you need to have some sort of security.

DmMacniel,

Mhm I don’t see any sysadmining though. But I do see some cute crocheted socks.

DmMacniel,

Mhm, okay; then people will simply share codes and agree on a common url shortener.

But seriously, the only good idea Ursula came up with was agreeing on stopping admission of ICE by 2035; this one here is just utter bollocks and need to be stopped.

DmMacniel,

Kiki, Kritas mascot, is just so adorable! That sure was a wild ride. KIMP?

DmMacniel,

We all could use more queer and or linux friends in our life.

DmMacniel,

AI.... but using it to add missing Alt Texts. That's nice, but I still dislike AI being shoved down my throat. ^I wouldn't mind other things though^

DmMacniel,

certainly not shitty AI. And it has to be written by AI too, or why are Docker and Kubernetes on the same list when they aim to do the same?

Can I refuse MS Authenticator?

So my company decided to migrate office suite and email etc to Microsoft365. Whatever. But for 2FA login they decided to disable the option to choose “any authenticator” and force Microsoft Authenticator on the (private) phones of both employees and volunteers. Is there any valid reason why they would do this, like it’s...

DmMacniel,

Demand hardware tokens for authentication.

DmMacniel,

KDE Itinerary. To keep all your travel (rail tickets, hotel reservations…) documents and Infos in one place.

Tokodon/Tuba a great mastodon client for KDE and GNOME respectively

Lollypop a beautiful and useful Mediaplayer and Jukebox for GNOME.

Geary a great mail client by the same developer as Lollypop, also for GNOME.
