This worked for me to get IBus to behave
Another solution is to run im-config → OK → Yes → do not activate any IM from im-config and use desktop default → OK and then reboot.

Pretty soon we're PRing Bazaar to #flathub -- we're likely going to need some guidance as we go through the review process.
So I'd like to put some background out there to share our experiences shipping Bazaar in Bazzite, Bluefin, and (soon!) Aurora.

I've never hidden my admiration for #illumos-based systems. I have a few setups based on #OmniOS and #SmartOS, and they're solid as a rock. I like them both: OmniOS is more "malleable", while SmartOS is more of a hypervisor like #xcp-ng or #xen - meaning you install it on the host and delegate everything else to the zones.
I also love #FreeBSD jails, but zones sometimes cover use cases that jails can't (and vice versa). For example, imposing RAM limits in jails works, but it effectively "denies more ram" to a process when it requests more memory. The end user doesn't see this directly. On illumos, the user sees everything. I have some `lx` zones with Debian and Virtualmin, and users have never noticed that they aren't really on #Linux. A free or top will show only the assigned RAM.
And that's one of the biggest problems with open-source operating systems: they all have something good, and I always feel the urge to use them all! 🙂

Following a #FreedomOfInformation request, I can reveal that in 2005 — almost two decades ago — the #EuropeanCommission trialled the deployment of an Open Source stack (#Linux desktops with #OpenOffice) and that trial was mostly successful.

Yet Another White Guy demanding 'no politics' from #FOSS, when really they prolly just don't want their favewet #Linux distwo (#NixOS, in this case) two be gay :'( Fucking hell - even if you're homophobic, who cares and who are you to determine what a FOSS project should or shouldn't do/be? It's FOSS lol, let the people who run the project decide what their project 'sides on' or entails, and YOU decide what you wanna use or better, fork it and run your own garbage project. There's no excuse for this type of shit - shit's not commercial or proprietary, son. The power is in your useless hands.
A new Debian version is out and it’s the end of the 32-bit x86 era, an AWS user almost found out the hard way about the need for proper backups, GitHub is finally fully swallowed into Microsoft (having gone all in on AI), and a quick KDE Korner.

If you're running Nextcloud on top of Apache2 on Debian 12 server and after upgrading to Debian 13 server it refuses to start up again, do the following:
a2dismod php8.2
a2enmod php8.4
systemctl restart apache2
At least that was what I needed to do.
