@… vielleicht einen Blick wert. Basis #ubuntu für den #Windows Ausstieg #linux

Getting gpg-agent-ssh to work properly on #Arch #Linux is/was quite a pain. These things just worked on #Ubuntu derivatives out of the box, here one really needs to understand what is going on.
But it was an int…

g'damit. why is it that even #ubuntu 25.10 still only has #libsodium v1.0.18? 1.0.20 is even getting stale (actually i just checked v1.0.21 is out since two weeks) and all i need is only 1.0.19, breaks my CI/CD pipeline.

Really is wild how much little memory Ubuntu uses.

Schnell noch die Weihnachtszeit bei Muddi nutzen um ihr Kubuntu 25.04 auf 25.10 zu updaten bevor es in 36 Tagen keine updates mehr bekommt.

This meme is probably going to trigger the #Ubuntu purists, you know, the so-called Snap elitists.
I oppose Snap and Ubuntu, and as a Debian and Secureblue user, I consider Snap unnecessary bloat.

Wenn ich mal #Linux auf Rechnern ausprobieren wollte, habe ich zu #Ubuntu #Mint gegriffen, zuletzt auch mal #RaspberryOS

OKAY. back to windows it is. Installing KDE on ubuntu and it being super laggy and then trying to uninstall it has my my Ubuntu no longer loading a UI at all. it's just a console input.
I tried. now I probably just need to reinstall Ubuntu to get back to a baseline.

Friday was an adventure in tech futility. Started with a gifted laptop, Dell Latitude, and the simple task of wiping its poor excuse for an OS and installing something sensible.
#Ubuntu wasn't it. OMG Ubuntu, what HAVE you done?! Tried first #UbuntuStudio then stock Ubuntu, 24.04, 25.04, 25.11, all the installers simply hung, no log, no journalctl, CPU chugging but nada detectable action, even hours later, just "Preparing…"
Net advice is old, of course, but points to the snap bootstrap service, fix has no effect but Kee-riced look at the mount table?! Snaps crackle and pop all over! Wtf, why? 🤯
And it is tedious. These 'DVD' iso files are 7GB, so, after 6 hours frustration, I thought, let's try something smaller to cut the turnaround time. #Debian13 simple bare-bones net-install seemed a good candidate …
And it was. Seemless install. 😊

A not-so-boring talk on #ubuntu touch at #openalt

Love it when Ubuntu/Debian frees up space like this:
#apt #ubuntu #aptitude #debian

A new puzzle: normally in #XOrg I can blank the screen with "xset dpms force off" and with KDE/Plasma I could bind this to a hot key, but in Gnome #Ubuntu 25.10 using #XFCE4 it will work from inside a terminal, but as a hotkey it blanks, pauses, then refreshes the screens. Why would this be? Or perhaps, is there a prefered method to instantly blank all screens in XFCE-4? Not to lock, just to turn them off.

I take so many screenshots. My keyboard doesn't have a print screen button so I had to remap screen shot to control home

So, wieder ein #Ubuntu unter das Volk gebracht.

Today I installed #ZorinOS on a Thinkpad which initially came with #Ubuntu, but was never upgraded beyond 20.04... It worked like a charm! Really appreciate the Zorin dev's work! This is a good OS for family and friends in need of Windows like OS!
The fingerprint reader even just worked out of t…

TBH I don't really understand what gnome is. I guess it's the UI ubuntu uses?
but the Dash To Panel gnome extension feels great as someone who is coming from windows.

I used to recommend #Ubuntu, and as of 2024, I started recommending #LinuxMint, especially #LMDE to the many (almost no people) who ask me for

Do yall have a cloud backup service on linux/ubuntu?

hmmmm okay I tried to install KDE on ubuntu.... but I did it on X11 instead of wayland?? when I switch to wayland on the login screen and login it's not KDE though.. and trying to reinstall it doesn't do much.
also KDE is super laggy and runs badly.

What's up with #Remmina on #Ubuntu? I have weird typing issues (duplicate characters, etc.). Switched to plain #FreeRDP and then all is well.
It did take me a while to find out what the command line is…

🛡️ #du_setup – Automated Server Setup & Hardening Script for #Debian & #Ubuntu #opensource

According to #FreePG right now: #ArchLinux, #Debian, #Fedora, #NixOS and #Ubuntu. Now #Gentoo joins that list, except that instead of silently making intrusive patching on top of GnuPG, we provide it as a separate package (app-crypt/freepg), and mark appropriately:
$ gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.5.13-freepg

They say a change is as good as being arrested, or something like that, and being reckless (and retired) I upgraded my vintage laptop to #Ubuntu 25.10 because why not, it was already broken from a few upgrades ago, and it was already clear #plasma on #x11 with my Radeon 570 was, well, not fun.
So down the list I go. Those of you on Mac or that other O/S ("little&soft"?) won't understand, but I went through each of the various desktops, just to see, not expecting a lot given my hardware.
Well, Ubuntu on Wayland works now, but, egad, it is ugly. Gnome and its Classic look, well, almost the same. One of the others is just a blank screen, but remember, my machine was already broken.
I ended up in #xfce which I hadn't used in, omg, never mind, only I'm thinking, hey old man, learn some new tricks! Need to add panel and some widgets and…
why is my panel's outline slowly blinking red? (left it in Add mode and buried the dialog box)
