Here is this week's #Linux and #OpenSource news video!

Update on buying a #Linux #computer. Pulled the trigger last night on ordering a #System76 #Pangolin #laptop. #AMDRyzen9 96GB of RAM (probably overkill) and two internal 4TB SSDs. Did get the 3-year warranty in case I need it. Did set it to come with #Pop_OS to try it out but might choose a different distro if I don’t like it. Excited to leave the #Apple ecosystem, though.

Heya folks! It's sync day, and that means it's time for the weekly Solus roundup!

The scrollable tiling window manager #Niri is now in our repository! Read all about it on our forums: https://discuss.getsol.us/d/11805-sync-updates-for-week-30-2025

After two weeks of writing, revising, and trying to make everything as digestible as possible, I finally published "GNOME Calendar: A New Era of Accessibility Achieved in 90 Days", where I explain in detail the steps we took to turn GNOME Calendar from an app that was literally unusable with a keyboard and screen reader to an app that is (finally) accessible to keyboard and screen reader users as of GNOME 49!

And another Server migrated over from Hetzner to @netcup . Again, absolutely flawless and working great :-)

Services now migrated to Netcup:
- Uptime-Kuma
- BIND (secondary authoritative DNS for my zones)
- Forgejo (Git forge)
- Librespeed (Speed-Test Node)
- Bsky PDS (Personal-Data-Server for BlueSky)
- Atuin (Shell-History Sync server)
- Anubis (Anti AI Crawler protection)
- Authentik (SAML/OIDC SSO Server)
- Wallos (Subscription tracker)
- stepCA (x.509 PKI CA)

All running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 (RHEL) ARM (aarch64) with Podman and behind a traefik reverse-proxy. All containers managed via Systemd and quadlet files (/etc/containers/systemd/*.container)

Services remaining on Hetzner:
- OpenShift LAB
- Mastodon instance burningboard.net
- Ansible RHCE Lab/Learn environment
- freeIPA/IdM Server and Red Hat Satellite

Step by step getting my (vast) infrastructure sorted and onto energy-efficient ARM servers at Netcup :)

How many #Linux distros do actually use on a daily basis?
Kinda curious to see what the results will be.

Bonus points:
Commenting which ones you use! 😎

Second day using Linux, my thoughts are such:

There's a sort of intangible but noticeable difference between software made by people who fucking love computers and can't help themselves but make things for them on them, and software made by people trying to make rent and bonuses because a boss said so.

Sure, not everything instantly works, but a whole lot of people have collaboratively tried!

Trying to puzzle something out. I want to self host some full length movies I've downloaded / ripped (legally of course) but want to have my kids be able to stream them on their iPads. And want it to remember the position in the movie they were at.

What's the best way to do this. Is this a job for #Jellyfin ? #linux #SelfHosting

I’m looking for anyone in my circles who:

• is a front-end web developer
• has some design sense
• understands the allure of buying a Linux computer
• is open to paid work

A Linux computer company reached out asking if I was available for paid work on their website and while I would love to, I’m just not able to find the time right now. But they’re a great company and I would love to connect them with someone!

If I want to test out some Snap Store stuff but am on Fedora Silverblue… should I even attempt that, or just spin up an Ubuntu VM/install Ubuntu on another machine?

To be clear about my use case: I’m not looking to actually use Snap apps on alongside other apps on Silverblue, so nice integration is not important; I just want to check out how things are presented and progressing over in the world of the Snap store/App Center thing.

`vet` is a CLI tool that acts as a safety net for the common but risky `curl | bash` command. It lets you inspect remote scripts for changes, run them through a linter, and require your explicit approval before they can execute on your developer or production machine.

Repo https://github.com/vet-run/vet

#security #unix #linux #opensource

Alt...

The Problem: We've all seen this pattern for installing software: This is convenient, but you're blindly trusting the remote script. ``` curl -sSL https://example.com/install.sh | bash ``` This is dangerous. The script could be malicious, the server could be compromised, or a transient network error could result in executing a partial script. The Solution: vet vet wraps this process in a secure, interactive workflow: Fetch: It downloads the remote script to a temporary location. Diff & Review: It shows you what, if anything, has changed since the last time you ran this script. Lint: If you have shellcheck installed, it automatically analyzes the script for potential bugs or malicious patterns. Confirm: It prompts you for explicit approval before executing anything. The new, safer way: ``` vet https://example.com/install.sh ```

Would anyone be interested in hearing about our #FOSS adventure? We''re a feminist non-profit in the midst of migrating from Windows to #Linux: servers and desktops! We try to be as #opensource as possible, for ethical, security and privacy reasons.

Ugh, #Linux devs who only offer their software as "build it from source yourself"... Do I look like a compiler to you? There are Flatpaks, and Open Build Service (OBS) by OpenSuse to easily build for a plethora of distros.

“I’ve been switching to Linux on my desktop because it runs Windows 10 & I refuse to bin the entire computer because it can’t run 11! I'm not techy so I was a bit worried but so many people have helped!

People from all over the world walked me through it & offered advice, even when I had some install problems & couldn’t get it to work.

It’s now all set up & working perfectly & I am so grateful for the kindness from everyone who helped, it made such a huge difference to me.”

There are 250 Billion dollars worth of laptops that are not "capable" of running Windows 11, and Windows 10 is NO LONGER getting virus, zero day, hacking fixes.

250 million laptops that can be tech waste, or a much faster Linux computer.

Because linux runs on almost anything, much faster than Windows, and its a friend, not a spy, or handcuffs.

Even though EPEL is primarily used downstream by RHEL, @centos, @rockylinux, and @almalinux, it's actually part of the Fedora Project.

Random #Debian hint

If you want to install some package and remove another one you can leverage "+" and "-" while using apt. 😎

Example:
$ sudo apt install package1 package2-

This will install package1 and remove package2

All the countless hours spent on the #Linux Desktop Migration Tool are finally paying off! My wife got a new laptop yesterday. I installed #Fedora #Silverblue on it, created a user account, connected it to the home network, and left the migration tool running overnight. She could start using the new laptop without any interruption in the morning, and the whole thing took like 15 minutes of my time.
