Hey #Linux peeps. What is the best wifi enabled printer that works well with Linux and #NixOS

I'm replacing this old brother printer and want some recommendations on a replacement.

I first learned about Clear #linux with the announcement that it was being discontinued.

The sad reality of the AI crawler bot arms race, the baddies seem to be obsessed with Xorg, but Wayland will soon be a reality for older smaller desktops (hopefully). Plus controlling a silly Red Dwarf thing, software releases with feature flags, a massive list of cheat sheets, another way to avoid the likes of Reddit, old skool CPU monitoring, and an update on Joe's KDE experiment.

If, like me, you've ever been annoyed at people just saying to grep the output of ifconfig for inet, and the likes, to get the assigned IP address of a network interface.

I got annoyed one time too many.

Have a *proper* solution.

May or may not also work on for example the *BSDs, but should definitely work on any modern typical-userland Linux.

I'm always reminded of how much I miss #BSD and #Linux when I boot my #Windows 11 install for some gaming...
Microsoft seems to think that memory and cpu power grows on trees.

No bashing here, just crazy how heavyweight there OS has become over the years (Not even starting with AD's and backdoors etc.)

Guess I still live in the XP/98 days - resource wise.

It feels/behaves sluggish.
Quite different to my #Debian #KDE install - where everything is snappy.

Well, it is only for gaming anymore.

Heya, folks! We are getting very close to a new #eopkg release: https://github.com/getsolus/eopkg/milestone/2

As such, we are asking for the wonderful translators in the community to help update the localizations. If you want to get involved, please head on over to the eopkg project on Transifex! https://app.transifex.com/solus/eopkg

If you request to join the translators, please let us know! It is easy to miss the email notification.

Attention #nix #nixos nerds who want to help an open source project that will enable more people to use and enjoy #linux at a VERY critical time.

I need your help!

I have have a repo for a #nixbook installer that I want to customize to make it much easier for newcomers to install.

I believe this is possible but outside my expertise.

I've broken up what I'm looking to do in 2 separate issues.

If you can help, I (and the world) would be so grateful!

I think we will see quite some systems being sold on eBay in the forseeable future given the planned obsolescense of systems not being "capable" of running Windows 11....

The amount of e-waste will be insane sadly

Hopefully most systems find a new home running #Linux or #BSD

If there is one thing I truly despise about using #Linux, it has to be the fact that if you have a question about some unexplained "feature", and you ask in a forum (like, say, for instance, the Linux Mint forums), you can be pretty much sure that you will receive a bunch of answers that have absolutely *nothing* to do with the question you are asking, and if you point that out, you will get indignant responses to that.

It is extremely rare to actually get a correct answer to the question.

SSHFS in fstab or a user cronjob?
Or something else?

The first version of Ubuntu Linux 4.10, codenamed "Warty Warthog," and it was released on Oct/2004. Ubuntu brought the Linux desktop experience to many developers and IT folks for the first time espcially forlks coming from Win/NT/2000 days. They were an early distro to support ease of installation for proprietary firmware and drivers for network, wifi, and sound/video, and that made them very popular as compared to other distros. They also used to send discs by post. #Linux #Ubuntu #OpenSource

KFediViewer (Preliminary name): An application for KDE Plasma, to view the personal data export of a Mastodon instance in a timeline-like manner.

Usefor if someone has exported the personal data as a .zip file from a Mastodon instance and want to view it locally.

Will be published sometimes 2025 on Codeberg under a free (FOSS) license 🙂

PuTTY, the renowned FOSS SSH client for Windows, is not the same people as those behind the PUTTY.ORG website." – and now putty.org is spouting anti-vaccination propaganda "because a bunch of communists hate me."

"An unfolding controversy over the contents of a website that contained links to several different pieces of SSH-related software has escalated. At the time of writing, the owners of the website have replaced this content with anti-vaccination propaganda." #Putty #SSH #Linux

Next-generation brick building sandbox Brickadia is out with Linux / Steam Deck support https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/07/next-generation-brick-building-sandbox-brickadia-is-out-with-linux-steam-deck-support/

For those who don't know the size of the problem:

In 2006 I bought a new [entry level] Computer with 256 MB of RAM and a single-core P4 Celeron with 2,8 GHz.

• This thing ran #WindowsXP and #NeedForSpeedMostWanted just fine.

• Nowadays it would crash trying to open #Slack even on a minimalist #Linux distro like @bunsenlabs even when using @dillo ...

And now imagine that some folks have to use #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, #Telegram, #Signal, #WhatApp, #WeChat, #QQ and #LineMessenger at the same time, and you can imagine that this will make entry-level desktops already scream harder than if someone were to loop the Lost Coast benchmark on them...

• The #bloat of modern #WebApps is just the socially accepted equivalent to #Cryptojacking desktops and driving some phat #SuperUselessVehicle just to get less than a kg of groceries at a walking distance supermarket.
