Online Accounts has been removed from GNOME Initial Setup and it now uses the default web browser for authentication, which is a more secure method to log into your favorite accounts.
This is great to hear! Geary has been locked out of my university email for almost two years now because of a lack of support for TOTP in online accounts.
Artistic modelling i use Blender but Parametric modelling I used FreeCAD.
Despite having worked with CAD software, both were a little hard to wrap my head around initially, but I watched like 2 hours of video tutorials each and I figured it out enough for my needs.
What is your background. “A job using Linux” is super broad and remote work only narrows it further. If you don’t have plenty of experience, it’ll be hard to get a remote position.
On the Fediverse with micro-blogging like Mastodon, Pleroma and similar there is a hashtag which is related to work. I forgot what the exact hashtag is but I saw other people recommending it whenever people ask for job opportunities. If you get a match you may be able to contact them directly via email. Good luck!
If you hate job boards then you need to find individual company “Careers” pages and go from there.
How you go about this varies a lot by skillset and industry, but I’ll just throw out a random example: lots of Linux jobs exist in the DevOps space (think Kubernetes, Ansible, Chef, NixOps). It just so happens that lots of medium-sized software companies need DevOps people, so you can pretty easily find companies looking for DevOps hires just by browsing Y Combinator’s Startup Directory
With that being said, I get the impression from the way your post is worded that you’re looking to break into a new career without having yet established a concrete plan. My advice would be to step back and consider specific options first. Almost all jobs like these require industry-specific certifications (e.g.: CompTIA, ITIL, AWS, Azure, Cisco, etc.). You need to look at your options, pick a certification, earn it, then go job hunting. Certifications are great for securing entry level jobs and the standards body issuing these will often provide an online directory of partner companies who are currently hiring.
It depends on what you need to upgrade/do. I usually upgrade stuff, but at the same time I also have templates in case I quickly need to spin up something new.
If that’s the case, I seed the new instance whatever conf files are needed and I am up and running quickly. Consider that in my work environment we rarely use containers (more of a philosophy at this point than a real reason, since we also have a relatively big K8s cluster for big data).
Maybe this package isn’t installed either, since I get some sort of error message: Usage: /usr/sbin/update-icon-caches directory [ … ] I tried assigning some directory to it like this: sudo update-icon-caches /usr/share/icons But this didn’t change anything either.
Your experience may depend on which distro you use and how you install things. If you use a distro with a stable upgrade path such as Debian and stick to system packages there should be almost no issues with upgrades. If you use external installers or install from source you may experience issues depending on how the installer works.
For anything complex these days I’d recommend going with containers that way the application and the OS can be upgraded independently. It also makes producing a working copy of your production system for testing a trivial task.
Well… they don’t like the design of a “system tray”. To be fair, it’s a very Windows centric idea, and the notion that they must provide one because Windows has one seems… similarly questionable to me too. Speaking personally I hate the idea, and always have. It’s a real dumpster fire because:
Lots of drivers (on Windows) assume you don’t know how to launch programs, and force a permanent launch shortcut on you.
Programs assume you don’t understand how to minimize or hide a window, and put themselves in the tray instead. (launchers, chat programs, etc)
Some programs seem to use them just to put their logo on the screen. You can’t really do anything with the tray icon.
Few icons match stylistically, and even on Windows, they don’t match the system style. (White icons on a white taskbar? FFS)
Programs often don’t provide an option to disable their tray icons, and it’s rare that I want them.
I guess I found the lack of them to be a breath of fresh air when I first tried Gnome 3 a few years ago. The current iteration doesn’t quite work though… 99% of the time I just want an option to kill the damn things, but I’ve have had some programs that only provide functions through the system tray. It’s dumb, and I hate it, but it is what it is.
No, it’s the same on the Windows side. Personally I like to build a new one in parallel, then migrate. I do plenty of upgrades on desktops, but I don’t think I’ve ever done one on a server (except stuff like CentOS 7 to 8 where it’s not really that significant of a change).
Migration is the safe option, but if it’s a huge pain to migrate, I might do the in-place upgrade with a rollback plan ready if it really goes poorly.
