cognitive, in Red Hat refuses Alma's CVE patches to CentOS Stream; says "no customer demand"

Alma should use this as advantage for them. Now market it as “Alma Linux is more secure than RHEL”.

hare_ware, in My little brother loves the dualboot setup I installed for him. He says "It's like iOS"

He also keeps explaining to me why Fedora better than my “nerd OS”

Complaining about what works for other people? It is tradition. It’s innate Linux user behavior.

gerdesj, in I feel called out

My wife uses Arch (actually). She calls it the internet, when she really means Facebook. She knows it isn’t Apple but it gets a bit vague after that!

The last time I had to fire up the Mesh Central client to sort something out on her desktop from work was around three months ago. Every couple of weeks I ssh into it, update it and schedule a reboot for 03:00.

why arch and not something with more stable updates like debian?

because Arch is more lightwheight than Debian, and also more stable than non-arch users think it is

Debian is sometimes frustratingly out of date for daily apps like the web browser. I’d rather recommend something with a bit more updates like Mint.

Thank god for Valve and how awesome they’ve been to Linux users

crow,

They’ve done such amazing work for Linux. Linux gaming wouldn’t be the same without them.

zer0,

So awesome they run a monopoly on videogames through their useless closed source spyware.

Well, their position is what allowed them to do so much for Linux. And their desire to distance themselves from Microsoft, which I’m absolutely on board with.

Stillhart, in Steam On Linux Usage Spikes To Nearly 2% In July, Larger Marketshare Than Apple macOS

Count me as one of those new Linux users. I’ve been trying to switch since the 90’s and Linux gaming is finally viable. I know this is in large part thanks to Valve, so thanks, Valve!

zer0,

If the games you are playing don’t run on linux than you are mostly playing crap designed by people who’s main goal is to empty your pockets and who think that you are stupid

s20, in Rhino Linux 2023.1, how we made the distro

So… is it Snap infected err… Snap based, like Ubuntu? Because otherwise it looks kinda neat.

It does not use snaps, according to First Look at Rhino Linux, a Rolling-Release Distro Based on Ubuntu and Xfce:

Ubuntu fans who don’t like Snaps would also love to hear that Rhino Linux doesn’t include Snap apps, nor Flatpak apps.

s20, in Systemd-Free Immutable Distro Nitrux 2.9.1 Is Out Powered by Linux Kernel 6.4

I went to DL it and try it out, and… dude, I hate Sourceforge. I know how privileged this sounds, but I’m not spending a half hour DLing something that I can DL in a minute and a half somewhere else.

Anybody got a line on a torrent?

no_priority, in zsh or fish for an intermediate Linux user?

I use fish because I have better things to do than tweak my shell configuration and debug shell plugins.

When I tried oh-my-zsh and prezto (I think?) they came with tons of plugins that performed badly and made it hard to get things done (specifically, they ran git status synchronously on every new prompt, which does not work well in a moderately large repo). Fish had similar features but wasn’t horribly slow, so I use it.

techwizrd,

Same. I’ve written a fish plugin, but other than that I just fish pretty much stock. It works and just gets out of my way.

Imagine giving a shit about what strangers use on their own computers

CAPSLOCKFTW, in Why Are Arch Linux Users So TOXIC?

So I’m an Arch user since 2013 and I don’t think I’m toxic. I am not really offended by this post but a bit worried. Why this hate against Arch (users)? I use Arch, btw is a meme that may has some truth, but like every good meme it is exaggerated. Arch users may have some pride in tunning Arch but most of the time they’re (in my expierence) helpful and inclusive. The OS itself fits right to my expectations: community driven, pragmatic, highly customizable. And I think the community is doing a lot for the overall Linux community with the Arch Wiki and for the Arch-based family with the AUR.

Edit: I didn’t seek help in the Arch fotum myself but read some threads there. Haven’t encountered any bm there.

You don’t need your own server to use Joplin. You can select a local directory to store your notes and sync this directory with Syncthing between devices.

I am not sure if this works with iOS though.

Minty95, in Recommendations for a FOSS Cross-Platform Note-Taking Application

For note taking, Joplin is pretty good, in fact I went from Simplenote to Evernote (over kill and not free) to Joplin using Dropbox for the syncing (syncing is done by Joplin, so you don’t need a ‘syncing’ app) between my PCs, all Linux and my Android phone. Simple to set up and free. I do not use it as a Journal as that is extremely poor, but for notes, it’s perfect
