@CatherineBabault If you feel you have to replace your Windows 10 PC for Christmas as it cannot run Windows 11 try to find a Repair Cafe to help you install Linux.

It can save you money and stop you putting more money in the hands of the corporations. It will also save a perfectly usable computer from being sent to the tip.

My remaining elderly parent, soon to turn 87 has been using Linux for over ten years now.

Linux might work for you too.

"Just ran the numbers and, by time cost for the team (counting mine at $0), we're at over $10K of time for setup, prep, research, discussion with developers, and testing for this. Wow! It's well worth it though and hopefully this sets a foundation for us to do more of this going forward, especially given the true cost of using Windows. "

Has anyone ever heard of a phono jack connection detection that works in windows with headphones and a sound system, but only works in linux in the headphones?

This issue breaks my understanding of how phono detection works. How the operating system would have any way to distinguish between the two. And it sounds like some physical weirdness.

Anyone else seen anything like this? Please boost.

This is attempting to connect to a Fedora 43 Plasma laptop. Trying to support a family member that's clear across the country, RIP me lol.

No, I can't just use VNC/RDP and tailscale. If I had thought of it when I was setting it up, that would've been great. XD

Any ideas, #HiveMind?

@ajlewis2 @stefano Microsoft's anti-Linux #FUD was probably the #best #marketing and #advertising and #promotion for #Linux.

At the time, if memory serves correctly, Windows XP/2003 were the current OSes then. It wasn't like they were stable or secure. MS poured millions into those ads. 😂

I wish more people would understand this.

The Linux "folks" (whoever they actually are) play patty-cake with constantly changing APIs and standards, and users are bewildered that other projects are falling behind.

This model of governance (for lack of a better word) leaves much to be desired.

@stefano The *perception* that #Linux is anti- #Windows or #MacOS was understandable back in the day when Steve Ballmer was running the show and #Microsoft pumped out no shortage of anti-Linux FUD and propaganda.

It's also important to note at that time the OS landscape was very different.

I'm taking a chance on this LG monitor for the new #Linux workstation.
Curved? Check! HDR? Check! 180Hz? Check! 1440p? Check! Great specs for the price.

I've been using my 4K Samsung TV for pretty much everything, and that stops this week. I need to have a physical partition between "content consumption" and "content creation."

(Also, 4K is still too damn demanding - 1440p is the sweet spot!)
(Also also, please never buy a Samsung TV)

As I'm getting more and more into desktop #linux, I seem to be liking #gnome the most. However, I'm trying to shy away from Ubuntu for the reasons of snap, though I'm not experienced enough to know whether snap is "just fine" for me or I should avoid it.

The other toggle point is the use of the dock. I like the persistent dock, but trying to get used to vanilla Fedora Workstation at the moment, sans dock.

What are you running for #desktop?

I just realized that Hetzner does not treat #FreeBSD as a first-class OS, offering only #Linux distributions for its VPS products. Can anyone recommend a good hoster for a small (experimental) FreeBSD instance?

Edit: Thanks to everyone pointing out that it is possible to install FreeBSD on a Hetzner VPS. I would like to support a native FreeBSD hoster.

Ubuntu get 15 years of support, Google finally releases Android source code and backs down on “sideloading”, more steps to move on from X11, IKEA launches a range of Matter IoS gear, and more.
