I've installed just about every tiling compositor / Window Manager for #Wayland, and am slowly eliminating the ones that have showstopper issues.
* #Sway is good, and I love that all my i3 configs can be used, but scaling the display on my high-DPI monitors was just unusably awful,
* #MiracleWM just flat-out refused to run, and I'm not motivated to put the time in to fix whatever is wrong
* #hyprland is another of the mainstream WMs (as much as a tiling window manager for #Linux can be called mainstream), and works really well, in terms of having the most bells and whistles—like really good scaling with the option of leaving XWayland windows unscaled—but at the cost of a pretty greedy amount of CPU usage even when it's not doing anything.
* #RiverWM looks like a good contender, though it feels like it's a small project and early in the development process. Best thing: they use good ol' IRC for the user forum, rather than reddit. I think I've found my people.

@nixCraft Sorry to destroy you the pseudo-sensation, but the gendarmerie in France works with GendBuntu since 2014! (The police just migrated to Win 11!)
https://www.lemagit.fr/actualites/2240206478/La-Gendarmerie-devrait-avoir-migre-72-000-postes-vers-Ubuntu-a-lete-2014
They adopted OpenOffice already in 2004, changed more software to open systems in these years, and began the migration to GendBuntu in 2008.
Greetings from France!

🆕 blog! “Convert Shotwell Photo Metadata to Digikam Metadata”

Mostly notes to myself.

Shotwell stores most of its information in a database. Which I lost. Because I'm an idiot.

But a bunch of metadata is also stored in the image's EXIF metadata!

Most importantly is the "Original File Name" which should become the "Description" in DigiKam. Unfortunately,…

France quietly deployed 100,000+ Linux machines in their police force - GendBuntu is a silent EU tech success story

From Reddit post: France quietly deployed 100,000+ Linux machines in their police force - GendBuntu is a silent EU tech success story I wanted to spotlight a quietly massive success story in European digital sovereignty: GendBuntu — France’s custom Ubuntu distribution used by the National Gendarmerie. The GendBuntu project derives from Microsoft's decision to end the development of Windows XP Back in 2005, France’s Gendarmerie began switching from Microsoft products to open-source software — starting with OpenOffice. Fast forward to 2024, and GendBuntu(Linux) is now running on 97% of their workstations (over 103,000 computers!). France has shown what’s possible when a government actually backs open-source, in-house, and EU-grown solutions. More countries should follow suit.

Steam just added screen reader support in the latest Big Picture Mode beta. On the Deck. On SteamOS. On Linux.
Not hacked in. Not community-patched. Built-in. From Valve.
There's an accessibility tab. There's a screen reader. There's high-contrast mode, UI scaling, color filters, reduced motion, and more.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but: I need a Steam Deck now.
Accessibility isn’t just coming to gaming — it’s here, and it’s official.
Let’s make some noise so they keep going.

How long have you been using Linux?

System76 Founder @carlrichell sits down for an episode of "Nerding out with Viktor" to chat about open hardware and building a Linux-first future. Check out the episode! @vpetersson and @Screenly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiMaL8e1tAU

I didn’t plan to write about Wayland yet. But Xorg is dying — not eventually, but now. GNOME’s dropping X11 support. RHEL already removed it. Ubuntu and Fedora are next. And if you rely on accessibility, you don’t get to wait this one out.
So here’s Post 4 of I Want to Love Linux. It Doesn’t Love Me Back.
I’m using Wayland now. Primarily. Not because I love it. Because the fallback is disappearing, and I want to be there helping fix what comes next. GNOME with Orca actually works. KDE and COSMIC are making progress. I’ve talked to the people involved. They care.
But a lot is broken.
MATE — the desktop most blind users preferred — isn’t on Wayland.
ocrdesktop doesn’t work. xdotool is gone.
wlroots compositors still don’t reliably support Orca’s keybindings, especially on laptops.
This isn’t GNOME’s fault. They’re the only reason accessibility on Wayland works at all.
But the old excuses are gone. “Just use Xorg” isn’t going to be an option much longer.
So yeah. I’m a Wayland shill now. Because I’m using it. Because I have to.
And I want to make sure we’re not excluded from what comes next.

From Collaborators to Consumers: Have We Killed the Soul of Open Source?

The Open Source community is becoming increasingly polarized. From the "distro wars" to Wayland vs. X11, the spirit of collaboration is fading. Are we shifting from "collaborators" to "consumers", and what can we do to build bridges instead of walls?

For the past week, I've been so angry and disappointed in the Linux community for being quiet in regards to any kind of celebration to advancing accessibility, but suddenly becoming vocal and supportive when privileged people start writing about how bad accessibility on Linux is while portraying contributors as the devils who don't care about anybody.

I'm so exhausted. I'm so demotivated. The Linux community really doesn't care about accessibility on Linux. No wonder accessibility on Linux sucks. No one wants to work on it because they keep getting bullied and pressured.

Hey my #NixOS #Linux peeps. I have finally got a Flake based config that I can push from my central "build" VM to my test laptop. All is well, and things work. But I still dont know what the official method is for enabling non free stuff on Flakes. I want steam and a couple other things like that. Theres a bunch of conflicting stuff about it on the web. One thing that doesn't work is using nixpkg-nonfree because it doesn't track the latest stable release.
