In the old days you could solicit for remote sysadmin jobs by including the pitch in your distro's README

A video on this would be super cool @…!

With all my KDE, dwm, MangoWC, NixOS, Gentoo, FreeBSD, Wayland, immutably complicated stuff it is very refreshing to just download an MX Linux iso, install it in under 10 minutes and have evrything you might want up and running in no time.
Well curated, well styled, great tools, you name it. Documentation excellent.
What a great distro! A gem.

Canonical is doing a good job working with #Rust based #coreutils for their distro. Their work will help the #Linux community as a whole.
In the future, I would be interested in trying them …

> Microsoft will eventually cave and do the funniest thing imaginable: they’ll ship a Windows themed Linux distro that can run Windows executables out of the box using Wine, and discontinue support for Windows proper.

For all the distro-hoppers out there TuxMate can be a useful tool. You select the apps and it creates the command to install them. It can save you some time.

@… an immutable distro might do the trick? KDE Bazzite? It is fedora based.

The most up to date (according to Repology) Linux distro T2 Linux (https://t2linux.com/) will come out with a prosumer image before the end of this year. It will be KDE based and Rene Rebe and his team are doing a total cleanup of the code. Having done a 1000 hours already. It is so much fun to watch him. What a dedicati…

What I really hate is that the LTE modem built into my ThinkPad T490s absolutely does not work with Linux, no matter which distro, kernel, or workarounds I've tried. This is the first time I've ever experienced hardware built into a ThinkPad that is not compatible with Linux. It is recognized, but you can't establish a connection. And, by God, I've spent months on this problem and tried everything!
I've had the problem of newer hardware not always working with Linux…

I have a refurb Thinkpad incoming and I can NOT decide which distro I want to put on it. Paralysis of choice. Do I need to buy five more laptops? - Because you know a VM just doesn’t feel right.

So, let's suppose you'd want to roll your own distro. It's special, right?
Well. if you include KDE Plasma you might as well shelve that project straight-away.
Nothing you'll do hasn't been done before (and very good) by a shitload of predecessors. Let alone, if you base it on Arch. In 2026? That's stale, man. Give up and move on.

For more accurate results, replace zodiac sign with Linux distro.

if you like #qubes but don't have the computing power to run that many VMs, I highly recommend running plain #whonix on any linux distro with full disk encryption, whonix now has more features since I last used it including a non-persistent live mode which mirrors qubes' disposable VMs, the downside ofc is that you won't be making your host OS as virtually unhackable as you do with Qubes

Got home early today. Of course I had to geek out 🤣 KDE is under the bus, so I reached for VoidLinux (to add dwl to it later). And hey, other distro's: look at their documentation. Can be brief, but It Just Works. Diligently followed the disk encryption setup, very well written and laid out. A pleasure, I love runit.And VoidLinux, another great distribution.

So after all that crap yesterday to get my CM4 NAS onto a contemporary, distro-provided kernel, I am now back on my custom `5.15.92-v8-sata-sas-pericompatch ` trying to figure out why the box's power consumption increased by 10 watts over normal (25W instead of 15W) following the switch

@… I'd do some research to see if you can find a Linux distro that will work.

Well it's pretty unpolished, but it works. Made good progress on my web manager / installer for games.
Currently supports Debian and Ubuntu, (though technically works on any Linux distro in theory), and supports:

I have decided that running openSUSE on my pi5 is prima facie consistent with my policy and efforts to move my devices over to the distro, but ultimately inconsistent with the underlying motivation of reducing the amount of fucking-around I have to suffer to keep my grex functioning. Debian Just Works on the Pi series, while openSUSE functions, but does so balanced on a stack of compromises. Better to leave well enough alone while it's well enough.

Det var länge sen jag installerade en Linux-distro. Närmare bestämt 2009. Men nu är det dags igen. Den gamla ful-laptopen ska få bli det första experimentet. Målet är att min stationära från 2008 ska få nytt liv så småningom. Det är bara att ta ett djupt andedag och hoppa i.

I'm suffering from distro-hop burnout. Slackware is too good.
