Agreed it’s great that they provide firmware support and (hopefully) upstream it eventually. But I also hope they have well documented steps somewhere on how to install it on another distro, because it’s likely many people install their own anyways.
In the past, the winner would write history. Now it’s Wikipedia editors.
You can easily do that manually. The “mesh” part is either awareness of other routers for using 802.11k or awareness with wireless backhaul.
If you don’t need 802.11k or easy wireless backhaul, you don’t need mesh routers.
Hollow Knight, though I don’t really listen to it outside the game.
Cyberpunk has some great songs on the radio.
The VLC thing is specifically about software patents on AVC, HEVC and other codecs. Most of Europe doesn’t recognize software patents, so anyone can implement an AVC or HEVC encoder and decoder if they want to.
One could compile pacman and all the build tools if they really wanted to.
No IMAP/SMTP support with ProtonMail. You have to run their bridge application locally to get that functionality.
IMAP/SMTP does make their encryption at rest impossible, AFAIK similar providers like tuta don’t have those either.
I know Phoronix comments, but what’s up with the Linux Mint hate?
Podman supports auto updating natively by setting a label.
I use systemd service files for running containers, but you can add the same label on the command line or in quadlet files.
When I started my new job I got a pretty unrestricted Windows machine, so I decided to try and use that. WSL is pretty impressive and I managed to work with Emacs and some other tools installed in it until Windows decided stuff should run way slower now. Magit got especially slow doing any git operation.
That weekend I installed Linux (with permission) and it’s perfect now.
You can access basically everything O365 through Teams, this is one of the factors making Teams such a shitshow.
Appending 12ft.io is not dangerous. Prepending it however is.
I used to do that with my previous install (all ext4 though) and eventually ran out of space on my root. Now I use BTRFS with subvolumes. They appear as separate mountpoints and allow separate snapshotting, but all live on the same actual partition and share space.
Only other partition I have left is /boot. (I encrypt my root and GRUB was the only bootloader which supports encrypted BTRFS with an /efi mountpoint instead of /boot last I checked. I don’t want to use GRUB and it also doubles your boot time having /efi only instead of /boot on a separate partition.
I was concerned when I saw Lunduke report on finding out Drew (very likely) hosts the Stallman report. (All while alluding to previous ““attacks”” on Hyprland and NixOS)
Of course DistroTube has to make an even worse video about it.
It feels like most people here are only reacting to the title. If you actually look at the article, it talks about commonly mentioned advantages and examples of Linux.
It’s really not that interesting to me as an article, but from scrolling through some others there might be more interesting stuff here. Or am I missing something?
Never heard of that store before, but now I’ll have to try it.
Surprisingly civil Phoronix comment section
