Breve, in What's your current favorite distro that isn't Arch, Debian or Fedora?

I’ve become a fan of KDE Neon. It’s based on Ubuntu LTS but with the the most up-to-date KDE release.

HobbitFoot, in Why more PC gaming handhelds should ditch Windows for SteamOS

I wouldn’t ditch Windows entirely, but I could see the business case of making sure your game can run on SteamOS.

I’m surprised they didn’t immediately go with Lizard Humping A Square en.opensuse.org/images/2/25/Oscover.png

isVeryLoud,

Missed opportunity 😔

lapommedeterre,

It’d be a good browser logo, if it was humping a globe

Does Dell… not offer a way to update the bios via flash drive or network? The fuck? Every board I’ve ever owned had the option to at least flash from USB.

They do. Even back in their pre-UEFI days, it was possible to flash BIOS from a properly-formatted USB drive by holding down a magic key combination at power on. But it was not exactly publicized as a supported method.

Quick, to the fainting couch!

More like form and whitespace… God knows how I try to like modern gnome, but it’s not easy.

Next time buy from vendors who use USB flash drive or bootable CD-ROM.

Next time buy from vendors which support fwupd.

Actually Dell supports fwupd very well.

drwho, in Something to ruffle some penguin feathers: The Unix Hater's Handbook

A classic! Way back when it used to be recommended on as a good introductory text (until O’Reilly started publishing books on Linux, anyway).

Frederic, in 32-bit distro suggestions for 2007 MacBook

Pretty sure you can run MX Linux 32bits on it

openSUSE Tumbleweed still supports 32bit x86.

nottheengineer, in Wanting to improve my Linux skills after 17 months of daily driving Linux

Installing arch is a great way to learn. Also don’t be scared of daily driving it, it’s not like it breaks twice a week. More like once a year, which is better than ubuntu in my experience.

kpw,

Less than once a year for me. I don't remember it breaking in the last few years.

Helix,

Breakage can be mitigated by root FS snapshots, e.g. with snapper.

Chewy7324, in Docker team is considering distributing Docker Desktop as a Flatpak and Snap

At first I read only docker without the context of the Docker Desktop client.

Making docker a one-click installation on all distros is great, altough I wouldn’t use it myself.

If they actually make a flatpak I wonder whether they’ll only support rootless docker or if it’ll ask for elevated permissions through polkit.

@TCB13@lemmy.world avatar

Let’s make mounts and permissions even harder to get right! But I’m totally up for a flathub release.

Drito, in Easy way to try out a bunch of different DEs?

You can use live isos. Some distros, such as Manjaro or Fedora spins, has several isos, one per DE.

Drito, in What's your current favorite distro that isn't Arch, Debian or Fedora?

Alpine was the most interesting for me. It goes against the tendency of complicating the systems. I have to use Arch because everything can work on that distro.
