So considering Win10 is dying, what's currently _the_ way of installing Linux on an AMD+AMD gaming PC, with Steam/Proton and all the goodies? Just go with Ubuntu and install Steam somehow? Arch Linux? Or some distro/installer that would come with everything preconfigured?

You may not be aware, but bzip2 is a patent-free version of bzip 0.21, written by the same developer.

bzip used arithmetic coding which was patented by IBM at the time (1980s-1990s). To avoid lawsuits, it was replaced with Huffman coding, thus the name change to bzip2. However, this also broke backwards compatibility with bzip.

Multikernel architecture proposed for Linux

A very exciting set of kernel patches have just been proposed for the Linux kernel, adding multikernel support to Linux.

This patch series introduces multikernel architecture support, enabling multiple independent kernel instances to coexist and communicate on a single physical machine. Each kernel instance can run on dedicated CPU cores while sha

A nice quality-of-life feature I've been working on today in Graphs. You can now change the axes limits by clicking on the ticks/numbers.

It automatically determines what axes you clicked, and whether you were closer to the minimum and maximum limit, and then preselect the appropriate field based on that.

#Linux users I'm begging you, if someone brand new to the ecosystem comes asking where to start, please don't start listing desktop environments and packaging formats. They don't care about that shit. Just recommend a good user-friendly distro like Mint, and let them come to you if they have more questions. Otherwise you're just going to overwhelm and/or irritate them.

"This Week in Plasma" brings Plasma 6.5 beta to your desktop. May the bug-fix-a-palooza Begin!

Stuff to look out for include an even smarter KRunner, easier access to System Tray actions, and a more informative launcher menu.

#Wayland has been around for quite a while now, but I never really cared much about the whole topic.

Recently, out of curiosity and because I had a feeble old laptop collecting dust, I decided to install a fresh #Debian13 on it, without a DE, and added Wayland and #Sway afterwards.

Eliminating the need for a graphical login manager by starting Sway at login from TTY1 (via .zlogin) actually makes for a really nice and lightweight setup! #impressed

LinuxMint really spoils me. The fact that you can double click a .deb file and it launches an installer just like a Windows .exe is *chef's kiss*

Anything to keep me out of the CLI is a win in my book. And dramatically lowers the barriers to entry for the #LinuxCurious and #Endof10 crowd.

Via @paternoster - An interesting experiment, though not suitable for me. I'll be installing some flavour(s) of Linux on an old laptop to get to grips with it, before Microshaft finally stops me using Windows 10. (Haven't they got the message about Win 11 yet? Really? Oh, I forgot - they just don't give a fuck.)

Fedizens! I have an old Lenovo mini PC that I want to revive as a home media server and maybe a Plex server. It might find other uses too. It's 4th Gen core i5 with 8GB RAM and 500GB spinning drive.

Is it worth throwing $70 at it for budget 1TB SSD ($50) and 16GB of RAM ($20) for this use case? It'll be running Linux - probably Mint or Ubuntu, but open to distro suggestions as well.

I only just learned you can use the mouse in the TTY! (The Linux text-only console you get to by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1, F2, etc.)

Some applications that enable this are gpm and consolation.

consolation worked better for me, especially when in tmux; however, I still can't get scrolling with middle button and trackpoint to work, which is what would be the most useful for me. I don't know if it has to do with consolation, tmux mouse bindings, my particular ThinkPad model, etc. I can't find anything online about this, so if you've also dabbled in this, please share your experience!
