Want to get ArchLinux running on your shiny new clicky Raspberry Pi 500+ with KDE Plasma and BTRFS subvolumes instead of ext4?

Turns out, it's not very difficult.

Check out the forum thread (remember those?) here on Interfacing Linux:

Don’t fall for #microsoft extending #windows 10 support in the EU. Kicking the can down the road doesn’t change anything.

They want you to throw away working hardware, pay to upgrade, and accept intrusive new advertising, AI and privacy violations on your desktop. It will cause the biggest pile of e-waste ever and increase the environmental impact of AI data centres.

Remember, upgrading your old #windows hardware to #Linux costs you exactly nothing. If you try it and you don’t like it, you can still donate or sell the old computer and buy a new one like you’d have to if you don’t try it. #endof10 is still coming!

For most folks Linux is going to work perfectly (yes, even you gamers) get perpetual, free upgrades, provide better security, privacy and more control than either Windows or #MacOS.

You have literally nothing to lose.

I tried #ChromeOS Flex. I installed it on a spare laptop, and while everything worked, I couldn't help but notice that this OS doesn't seem to have a purpose. The desktop has major UX flaws, it lacks the advantages of ChromeOS, and so there is no use case where a #Linux distro wouldn't be a better choice. Let's take a look!

👋 Hello! GNU Guix is on @hachyderm - yay!

If you haven't heard of #gnu #guix we're a free software project that's created a hosted package manager (think homebrew or flatpak) and a GNU/Linux distribution.

GNU Guix uses the functional packaging approach pioneered by #nix and adds a user-experience and system configuration system. It uses a DSL that's based on Guile Scheme. You can use it configure your home environment, dev environments or the entire system using a declarative and transactional definition.

We hope to tell people about the project and our latest news. We'd love to engage with people around #freesoftware #guile #scheme and more general #linux topics!

This has modern #linux problem been annoying me for so long...

Under a Wayland session in #Ubuntu 24.04 my keyboard is en-US but under X11 its en-GB (which is correct)

I have searched, even asked Gemini and done everything (including XKB, XBB, gsettings etc ) but can not find a solution to set my Wayland session en-GB as default or even change it once logged in.

Its deeply annoying, any help or pointers would be great

Does anyone put there have a recommendation for a USB->25 pin serial port cable?

Specifically I have a Stag PP39 EPROM burner which works fine with a DOS program and I want to be able to use it with Linux and the only physical port on the Stag is a 25 pin serial port.

TIA.

How to choose the perfect #Linux #Distro for you

This guide may be a bit different from what you know. Linux offers a ton of choice, and there are some factors you might want to think of, rather than using #DistroWatch or #DistroChooser for a half-baked recommendation.

Dont hesitate to try them out! But for a longer investment, make a good decision!

Hmm.. found an odd thing in Linux.. On my laptop which is an Intel AX201, Bluetooth audio works fine but on another laptop with Intel AX200 the audio is all distorted and choppy.. I've ruled out the wireless headphones since I used 2 separate ones and both worked perfectly fine on the AX201 but were horrible on the AX200.

Just wondering if there's anyone who has an AX200 chipset and has used Bluetooth audio on Linux with it before?

How are all the cool kids installing Linux on old Windows systems these days? I've got a USB stick and an interest in installing Mint on some old Dell hardware so that my parents can escape the Windows 10 deadline.

Edit: live around the corner from them, already Family Tech Support ™️ maintenance is not an issue.

Hmm…

I switched back from using #X11 with proprietary #Nvidia drivers on my #Debian13 machine with #KDE to using #Nouveau.

Everything works fine, except for #Vivaldi.

I have to start it with the following flags: '--ozone-platform=wayland --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --use-cmd-decoder=validating --use-gl=desktop'. Then, I need to go to the settings and disable hardware acceleration. Otherwise, it starts with a gray overlay (screenshot), which renders it unusable.

Any ideas?

@omgubuntu I use this as a strength.

Things are changing around the modern #linux desktop and some people are not going to be joining us. They just self select themselves out.

It's amazing because the people who DO stick around are amazing and do work. People who write things like that to you don't contribute anything to anyone.

Don't let non-contributing assholes dictate to you. _You_ have a proven track record. Why do we care about people who don't help?

The EU is pushing to scan ALL private messages, even encrypted ones, endangering privacy, security, and fundamental freedoms across 450 million people.

This is mass surveillance disguised as child protection, and it breaks encryption, risks false accusations, and threatens democracy worldwide.

I heard that KDE could use some fundraising campaign artwork, so calling all artists who may follow me:

• If you like KDE stuff like Krita or Plasma etc..
• And if you like Konqi and Katie

We could use some artwork!

It is volunteer work (so very likely no payment) and the artwork will have to have permissive license such as CC-BY-SA. And I understand for many artists that's a lot to ask.. But you never know if you don't ask right?

There's different style campaigns for different holiday seasons. If you're interested, let me know here or my email, and I'll give out details how to contact the promo team.

Here's examples of various artwork we have: https://community.kde.org/Promo/Material/Mascots

Edit: I don't think there's participation limit either. :)

And yes, this makes you a contributor to KDE! :)

There are all kinds of people nowadays.
TBH, IDK why many of them have to create their story about how things actually happen, and then follow it and consider they are the only who have the truth and all the others are deaf silly ones. When actually, they are the #narrowMinded ones…

BTW, I hope you won't give up cause of messages like this.
Yes, it's true that #OMGUbuntu doesn't seem to have as many members as other #Linux-related blogs, and yeah, #OMGUbuntu **is** more focused on certain topics, but it doesn't mean it isn't interesting and worth it. I always like your articles, as they're often funny, and often with interesting #POVs, so you sometimes make me understand the things in other ways.
So yeah, keep up the fantastic work!

BTW, are you planning to provide #paid-only articles and others? In order to support the #blog?

Maybe an unpopular opinion. But as someone who was very skeptical at first, I believe that #Flatpaks have been a net positive for #Linux in terms of making a new users choice of distro less crucial and therefore easing the barrier to entry for curious windows users.
