I started using Linux back in January or February 2020, and my first distro was Elementary OS 5.1. It felt like the right choice from the start.

Since then, I've tried a bunch of other distros like Arch, Fedora, Alpine, Linux Mint, Manjaro, and Paldo. But in the end, I fell in love with Debian stable.

Arch and Fedora didn't really sit with me, but I might give Arch another shot someday. Out of all the ones I tried, my top picks are Debian, Elementary, Mint, Alpine, and Paldo.

Today, I run Elementary alongside Debian on my laptop, and Debian on both my desktops. I love what Elementary does, but for me, Debian is number one, and Elementary is a close second.

Linux Mint op een USB-stick gezet. Ik wil een bejaard (Intel-) MacBookje omsmurfen tot een Linux-Bookje. Hopelijk bevalt dat, maar eerst moet het nog even lukken.
Mijn nerdspieren zijn nogal uit training. Maar tzt (snel?) lijkt onafhankelijkheid van de grote Amerikaanse techreuzen noodzakelijk.
Apple fangirl sinds de jaren tachtig , dus doet ook pijn. 🍏 #LinuxMint #DeApple

friends i recently installed weston in linux mint debian edition faye
i was trying to get waydroid to work but gave up after i was unable to get the weston waydroid window to connect to the internet
is it better to make a new clean installation of linux mint DE than to try and remove weston?
i have not noticed anything bad, but have read that installing new desktop environments can cause problems and weston installed wayland

I've got the absolute CRAZIEST thing going on with my #Linux workstation right now. (#LinuxMint 22.1 Xia)

I am
#hearing #WATER like waves crashing ashore every 10-15 minutes. It's a #short clip, 3? Maybe 4 seconds long?

For the life of me I can't figure out what in the hell is generating this noise! I don't have THAT many apps running or windows open.

Terminal

Xed (text editor)
Signal Desktop
Firefox (all tabs are muted)
Zen Browser (1 tab, on

I seriously wonder if I've got malware (unlikely though - I only install software from reputable sources). Not to mention I've never heard of malware that plays an audio file every 10-15 minutes of fucking
water.

Do any users of #GIMP on #Linux know how to install the in-development version of the Resynthesizer plugin, called the "resynthesizer3 branch"?

Despite being a Linux user, I've maybe "cloned, built and installed" two things since 2019...so I need instructions-for-dummies.

I'm just missing a couple of the healing functions from Resynthesizer as it was far better at it than I am doing it manually.

Thanks.

Waarschijnlijk kennen jullie de blog van @mboelen al: linux.vooreenbeginner.nl/
Hieraan ga ik een kleine bijdrage leveren, ik maak video's van de hoofdstukken / onderdelen die Michael behandelt, als ik ze tenminste ook begrijp, zelf ben ik geen ICT-er. Enkele video's zijn reeds gereed, zie: tube.spdns.org/c/uitleg_videos.

Linux: voor een beginnerLinux: voor een beginnerLinux voor een beginner is een reeks aan artikelen (gratis en vrij) om beginners beter bekend te maken met Linux en de mogelijkheden.

Ich kann mich (noch) nicht entscheiden, womit ich ein Notebook für mich neu aufsetzen möchte.

Auf der Shortlist stehen
- GhostBSD
- Linux Mint
- Void Linux
- Windows 11

Ich hätte am liebsten ein System ohne systemd, mit aktuellen Paketen, einigermassen schnell und einfach aufgesetzt, mit Festplattenverschlüsselung und mit einem stabilen Update Prozess.

Was würdest Du nehmen?

Jetzt geht es.

Musste im Boot-Manager den ganzen Block "Legacy boot" deaktivieren, im UEFI-Bootmenü steht Ubuntu oben.

Jetzt kommt beim Hochfahren ohne USB-Stick direkt das Grub-Menü:

Linux Mint
Linux Mint (recovery?)
Win
(...)

Das Fenster mit der Eingabeaufforderung grub> kommt nicht mehr.

Wichtig jetzt noch: Software für Angebote, Rechnungen, Produkte, Kunden etc. auf Linux umstellen.

Taugt Fakturama?
