One week after we kicked off our year-end fundraiser, we’ve reached 800 #FriendsOfGNOME!

Our goal is a bit more ambitious, though: 1,500 by December 31. Help us out by joining today: https://donate.gnome.org

If you’ve already joined or are unable to right now, you can still help by sharing this post with friends and colleagues: https://blogs.gnome.org/foundation/2025/12/01/join-friends-of-gnome/

Let's secure the future of GNOME together and enable us to do even more great work next year.

Do you want to run a Linux or Unix/macOS program directly after some other process has ended? Use the pwait as follows:
```pwait pid && new_app1```
For example, for demo run sleep for 1200 and wait to end and then run the app2:

```sleep 1200 &
pwait pid_of_sleep_here && app2```

See the `pwait` man page for more info as syntax changes slightly between Linux and BSD version. This is very handy utility and not well known to many:
`man pwait`

#unix #linux

Alt...

a screenshot of the pwait manual page from Linux. The screenshot reads: NAME pwait — wait for processes to terminate SYNOPSIS pwait [-v] [-c] pid ... DESCRIPTION pwait waits until each of the given processes has terminated. The options are as follows: -v Print the exit status when each process terminates. -c Return 111 if any process exited non-successfully. EXIT STATUS The pwait utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. Invalid pids elicit a warning message but are otherwise ignored. ERRORS Check these prerequisites if you see this error: binding sk_nl error: Operation not permitted pwait requires special permissions to run, either root or the Linux CAP_NET_ADMIN capability. pwait only works on Linux kernels with the kernel options CONFIG_CONNECTOR=y CONFIG_PROC_EVENTS=y

Today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent is a double whammy of shell-based "checking" utilities.

linkchecker (https://linux.die.net/man/1/linkchecker; probably get it from your distro) checks websites (recursively, as you wish) for broken links.

shellcheck (https://www.shellcheck.net/; available in browser or as a terminal tool) checks bash and other shell scripts for bugs.

Very simple, single purpose, very useful, tools.

On another topic, I think I am moving to NixOS for everything…

After discovering nixos-anywhere and colmena, it seems like a much easier path than maintaining my own Debian based image, and applying ad-hoc conversation via ansible

I will still need ansible for Wireguard and k3s credentials, but that makes the whole infrastructure much more unified and deterministic

Soon, a flow of machines abstracted in a big cohesive lump, what a dream

i have reached a new #linux level;
installing it on my old macbook

... i love it

I'm so close to being done with #Linux users. They do not understand: if you are comfy with what Linux demands, including command line use, then you are not an Average Computer User.

Let me say it again, louder.

IF YOU ARE COMFORABLE WITH WHAT LINUX DEMANDS OF YOU, YOU ARE NOT AN AVERAGE COMPUTER USER.

Does this speak ill of the Average Computer User? Kinda, yeah. But I'm sick of Linux people thinking they are the benchmark and being snooty about it.

Yay!! #nixbook 25.11 is finally released with a new installer and upgrades!

https://github.com/mkellyxp/nixbook/

- New installer is a true live session of nixbook with cinnamon

- Installer and OS have built in broadcom wifi support.

- Installer and OS now have better VM support

- Faster updates, reboots and powerwashes

As usual, if your on Nixbook, just wait about a week for the auto update or manually run Update and Reboot from the menu.

Elkjøp, likely the largest Norwegian based electronics store, is now running ads for Copilot where they speak about how great Recall is. Likely the ad is paid for by Microsoft.

They show the picture below and they talk of how great it is that the machine remembers everything you have done with it (and has the pictures to prove it!).

I guess when you make something that most people do not want, you just push it harder.

Remember that you have a choice to move away from Big Tech.

Honestly, the #Linux kernel is just such an amazing accomplishment.

I don't understand why userspace has to be such a gigantic ball of wax, and constantly changing, and subject to such insane politics and infighting*.

Meanwhile, #OpenBSD is like, "Well, our kernel doesn't have a modern filesystem, or bluetooth, and it may just panic if you poke the wrong thing, but the manpages will make you weep with joy, and everything is more or less sane and nicely laid-out, and we don't change things unless the change is an improvement."

* To be sure, right or wrong, I consider the constant push towards systemd-kitchensink to be very much political. And by "political," I mean "stupid office politics," not "your discussion of inherent issues of justice and ethics makes me uncomfortable in my privilege."

Does anybody have a guide for switching from Debian "stable" to "testing" that is literally beginner-level? I've found some, but they appear to presume a level of Terminal skills that I don't yet possess, and I would like to maximize the chances of not having to reinstall from scratch.

Any of y'all tried using SteamOS as a primary OS?

Where Windows 11 is rapidly and increasingly enshittifying, we're curious whether it is currently -- or might become next year -- a viable replacement

For context, we:

• Are not a coder or dev, and haven't ever worked in an IT-based job or field.
• Consider ourselves an intermediate user.
  • i.e., we can troubleshoot issues, research problems for solutions, follow guides, etc.
• Don't have any experience of any Linux-based distros on a primary desktop.
• Can use a terminal or command line, but only ever if no decent GUI is available.
• Are a neurospicy mess 😅

We'll probably want to test it in a virtual machine environment... once we've found one that's free, ideally open source, and not at all aligned with evil corporations (especially Oracle).

Genuinely asking, but no reply guys please 🫶🩷

If you’re curious about switching to Linux, and especially if you’re curious about Linux for music production — this might be a blogpost for you.

I haven’t been blogging for years, but now seems right to share some of the thoughts I have about Linux and Linux Audio.

First up is getting to know Linux, a thing about OSes, what’s up with all the “distro” talk, and what to expect from yourself if you consider switching, depending on your needs.

interesting interview and pretty much confirms my suspicions that Steam's goal is to create an ecosystem of its own rather than cheap plug-and-play Linux hardware alternative for PC gaming https://www.theverge.com/report/820656/valve-interview-arm-gaming-steamos-pierre-loup-griffais

the problem is that right now Steam Machine is an overpriced hardware with pre-installed SteamOS, and it may spook people who want high-end PC gaming experience (similar to building custom PC with top hardware)
