Tried something new again: installed a fresh copy of Debian 13 and then immediately upgraded it to Debian Sid. I have to say: so far, it’s running remarkably stable and smoothly. Kernel 6.19.14 and GNOME 50—very nice!
As usual, for privacy and data protection reasons, I’m trying to keep the system lean, with only the absolute essentials: Firefox/Librewolf, LibreOffice, Signal, Nextcloud, Localsend, Tuta, Mullvad VPN, and Freetube as an anonymous YouTube client.

Ich hatte neulich das Glück einen gebrauchten MNT Reform Laptop ergattern zu können. Das Gerät ist zwar recht teuer und hat ein paar Ecken und Kanten, aber funktioniert ziemlich gut. Ich hatte auch schon lange nicht mehr so viel Spaß mit Computern: Freie Hard- und Software laden so viel mehr zum Probieren ein, Probleme lassen sich mit Schaltplänen und Quellcode verstehen, Debian mit Gnome ist echt brauchbar und die Flatpak Apps von Flathub sind super schick!

They tried. Make me go crazy (and I did). Everywhere the Colloid icon theme showed up. Except in Nautilus. Of course. It's Gnome, the T-Ford of DE's (any color as long as it is black). Then I installed Nemo. All is good, for now. The experiment with me and Gnome entered a 3rd day 😆

Content warning: Gnome, genAI/LLMs, RedHat
Uhhhhh so GNOME will no longer accept security reports for its own projects that don't allow LLM usage???
What kind of self-boycotting bullshit is this?
Is this FashHat RedHat using their control over the security team to try to force all GNOME (sub)projects to accept "AI"?
If I'm getting this correctly, if you have a project there that doesn't allow LLMs it might be a good time to fork it away from under GNOMEs wings?

There was this one nagging application, Filen (encrypted cloud in Germany), that I need for work and couldn't get to run on either Chimera and Casuarina. Needed it this morning. Already have the rpm (and some) to use with Slackware. Grabbed Tumbleweed and did a custom install. Need to turn that into a blogpost. Super lean, before we get that Agama atrocity.
Systemd-boot, secure boot, LUKS. No flatpaks 😜 Extension-manager in the repos. And great theming.

does anyone know a good app for personal todo list apps on desktop? web apps are acceptable as long as they only store data locally.
it doesn't have to be very fancy, and it should have a low barrier to entry. if it's a desktop app it should have a flatpak available. preferably no gnome-y ui, and obviously nothing proprietary.

It's a me thing. There is sth in the (hardly existent) combo of Gnome and ricing that invariably leads to rage explosions. Terminals have no opacity, color schemes need git clones. Extensions, a hot mess that needs to be searched manually, if they work or not anymore. Worse than the AUR. Distros providing that DE suffer. I clearly need to separate both, the message and the messenger. Doesn't work yet 😆

In around two weeks I’m migrating from iOS to a postmarketOS phone. Please leave app suggestions, I’m definitely going to need them!Waydroid is… fine, but not preferred Please avoid android apps unless it’s something that is like confirmed to work well on waydroid, is proprietary or something so has no alternatives or something like that. I’m not launching waydroid to listen to music, to read my e-mails or to use xmpp.
Some examples of what I’m looking for, probably for Plasma Mobile:
And also just anything y’all find useful in your daily life with a postmarketOS daily driver, I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot of stuff here.
I know some of those exist for desktop Linux, but I’m obviously looking for stuff made with phones in mind (so like… apps made for gnome should be automatically fine maybe?)
(Also, has anyone managed to get nix’s system-manager to work on postmarketOS? There’s no way I’m configuring all of this by hand every time I need to flash it lmao)

The unspeakable has happened. I've installed Aeon, the immutable Gnome by OpenSuse. Although KDE and WM's (dwm, mango) are at the core of my nerdiism, that ThinkPad deserved something else. Can't have an opinion without actually using it.
First impressions: clean, no fluff. Very good security (TPM encryption et al). And Suse was my first distro many years ago (the 2 books and 6 CD's boxes). Network shares very smooth, tomorrow some extensions. And forget about my usual …

In general the first day on Bluefin was pretty nice. The approach is way different, and tweaking requires jumping through hoops. Interestingly enough hardly anyone of endusers like to tweak. But the rest 'just works'. In that sense Aeon is possibly better suited, what I adjust is very basic. Fresh and kitty were only available (via homebrew) for macOS. And removing the logout option from the top right hand menu is silly. Although ctrl-alt-del gets you there. A bootc Gnome, with a Cac…

Content warning: GNOME bullshit
Wait apparently it’s even more hilarious than that? They removed it 14 years ago (for a completely nonsense reason, as usual) but it still showed in 48 because of X11 and in 49 due to a bug? So technically the logout button is a bug, but in practice to any reasonable user that won’t care about how their code is written yeah they just removed the logout button.
Also even some GNOME devs didn’t know this was a thing.
Oh and the issue asking them to NOT remove the button that has always been there triggered a fucking “design review” with a bunch of overengineered worse solutions. Instead of like… just keeping the button that was literally already there for everyone… and that didn’t get a “design review” to be removed…
