Wow guys, I am absolutely overwhelmed by your participation and also the diligent sharing! And one thing first: after reading every single post - I was surprised by certain tendencies. But after the end of the survey, I will evaluate all the answers again and then comment! Thanks again to EVERYONE who took part! You guys are great, and that's what makes the Fediverse what it is!

It’s #linux time. Since Windows and Mac OS are moving in a questionable direction and my laptop was getting slower, I tried #popos.

If you're interested in trying #Linux, feel free to ask me any questions about it. I've been on it since the late 90s, so there's a decent chance I can answer your questions.

After a great week for Linux, with the releases of Fedora 40 and today Ubuntu 24.04, I would be interested to know which operating system the Fediverse in my "bubble" uses? Linux? Windows? Or macOS or even a BSD? More than one?
Please write in the comments which distribution or version! Thanks for participating and SHARING!

So, my 1000th post (or "toot") here on Mastodon is dedicated to my decades-long passion: Linux!❤️ :linux:

Or, as Richard Stallmann would insist: GNU/Linux. And of course to its brilliant creator Linus Torvalds and all the many thousands of people who have made the world's largest community project possible since 1991!

I've recently had to come up with a way to do incremental backups of a block device. This wouldn't normally be my chosen way to back things up, but the block dev belongs to a VM that I can't tamper with.
I can snapshot it easily enough so I can write off an image without it changing under me while I'm doing it, but I didn't want to store a copy of the whole device every time.

I set up a local Ubuntu mirror for 22.04 LTS and 24.04 LTS and it's definitely paying off today. I'm happy that my audio setup changed enough that I could get back onto Linux again, and not having to worry about Windows has been pretty nice. I've handed most of the small issues so it's definitely time to enjoy a few beers, watch some videos, and just relax. #linux
