J'ai réussi à :
- Installer Linux Mint (dual boot)
- Installer WayDroid
- Installer une app Android fonctionnelle
- Installer une poignée de jeux Windows et un émulateur Switch pas dégueu (25-30FPS sur +sieurs jeux)

…Maintenant, je suis prêt pour le saut 100% Linux !

Il ne me manquerait plus qu'un shell pour lancer correctement WayDroid sans ligne de commande.

"How it all began"

I saw an ad for this CD set at a very low price in a computer magazine. I decided to give it a try, enticed by the low cost and this 'alternative solution to Windows', and in late 1996 I ordered this set.
When it arrived, I was fascinated (having never used a Unix or Unix-like system before) but a bit daunted by the lack of support for the main applications I knew. A few months later, though, I decided to give it another go and from that point, I never looked back. Whether it was Linux, one of the BSDs, or something similar (but Unix or Unix-like), I was not going back to systems like Windows.

My #ThrowbackThursday today is probably one of the most significant in my computing life.

This is a photo of a 6-CD set case for "InfoMagic LINUX Developer's Resource". The CD case cover has a whimsical cartoon character on the front, which appears to be an anthropomorphic penguin dressed as a wizard, complete with a wizard's hat and a magic wand. The character is standing on a stylized representation of the globe. The background is blue and there is a yellow banner on the top right corner that says "QuickStart Guide inside". The packaging suggests that this is a software resource kit for Linux developers from the era when software was commonly distributed on CDs.

This is a photo of the back cover of the "InfoMagic LINUX Developer's Resource CD-ROM" case. The cover lists the contents of the 6-CD set, including distributions like Red Hat 3.0.3 "Picasso", Slackware 3.1, Debian GNU/Linux 1.1.4, and others, with various kernel sources up to version 2.0.12+. It mentions the inclusion of a "QuickStart" installation guide and additional software like X-Free86 Version 3.1.2, with references to online resources. There's also information about the included on-line documentation like "Installation & Getting Started Guide" by Matt Welsh and "Network Administrators Guide", as well as file format details. Contact information for InfoMagic, including telephone, fax, email, and web address, is listed, along with the company's address in Flagstaff, AZ. A barcode is present on the bottom right. The text indicates the product is from 1996, providing a glimpse into the distribution of Linux software in the mid-1990s.

... but I'd also like to install Devuan Linux with KDE Plasma on a ThinkCentre Tiny.

Which is also productive work, as I want to test it out as an option to pre-install for customers who want Linux, but not urgent at all.

"Debian vs Ubuntu Server: Which One Should You Use?"

"Side-by-side comparison of Debian and Ubuntu Server covering release cycles, package freshness, security, cloud support, and ease of setup to help you pick the right one."

https://linuxize.com/post/debian-vs-ubuntu-server/

#Linux #Ubuntu

I liked "The #Git Commands I Run Before Reading Any Code" post[1], but during the part that contains "Reverts every couple of weeks means the team doesn’t trust its deploy process. They’re evidence of a deeper issue: […]" something in me yelled: "This is more nuanced, and people will be drawing the wrong conclusions if they believe this blindly".

Because for the #Linux #kernel reverts often are a good thing for two entangled reasons:

* No "deploy process" can prevent all bugs, so some will only be found in the wild. This, sadly, is especially true for the #LinuxKernel, as its mostly drivers which are impossible to test properly in a deploy process; the hardware they support furthermore is messy and full of hidden bugs innocent changes can suddenly expose.

* A quick revert can be the fastest way to ensure that mainline usually remains usable and is tested by people, as "fixing a bug through a follow-up commit" often takes more time than "reverting and reapplying later with the bug fixed"[2].

[1] From Alex Piechowski: https://piechowski.io/post/git-commands-before-reading-code/

[2] Can also be better in case people have to use "git bisect" later for other reasons, as the bug then won't interfere while in the range where it's not yet resolved.

The realisation just hit me that besides my work laptop I no longer use #Windows. I switched to #Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop a while back on my PC and I don't miss it one bit.
The few PC games I play run on #Linux with #Steam just fine but I think the real eye-opener has been how effortless Linux on the desktop is these days. If my sister ever throws out her #Chromebook I will put her on a distro with #KDE.

Oh nice! The developers of Little Snitch have made a version for Linux. Like they say at the start of the post, I never found an alternative I was happy with when I switched from macOS to Linux. Although, with vastly more open-source software in my workflow it was also less necessary.

Separate from, but related to, my previous question ...

My work machine boots into Ubuntu. I'm trying to get to the BIOS to ask it to try first booting from the USB, but I can't work out how to get to the BIOS.

I've tried various keys while powering on ... ESC, F1, F2, DEL ...

What do you need to know to help me work it out?

I'm going to bed now, but I'll be back in about 9 hours. Let me know how stupid I've been, and what I should be doing.

Or alternatively, let me know what info you need to be able to help me.

Thanks in advance ... and good night.

wayback is a stub Wayland compositor that hosts a rootful Xwayland server, letting you run your full X11 setup unchanged on top of Wayland. Built from source, wrote a small launch script and dwm came up fine with st.

Still experimental and needs some tweaking but the core concept works — keep your dwm, st and all your suckless tools, just drop Xorg underneath.

Termux

If you want a nice to great full linux stack for your android, seek for Termux.

do not install the playstore version!

Alphabet {google} sabotages OpenSource projects on Android. Get termux straight from the home page

Termux is a full linux ENV:

termux installs minimal

• download
• shell spawns with instructions
• you have to follow them!!!
• once familiarized (easy when you know Debian)
• start your commands, install them individually if their'e not in the default install
• enjoy a free Linux ENV: in the hostile (google) Android ENV
• keyboard assistance is at the bottom of the bash window
• CTRL
• ALT
• cursors
• PaGeUP
• PaGeDOWN
• Home
• End
• Esc
• /
• -
• tab
• are all keys to assist you in fluent linux sh typing
• you may install any sh supported in linux bash csh ksh zsh fish

caveats

• There are a few, however you will still be able to work there
• check your internal ssd space, termux works there by default
• filesizes can be surprising
• I just install Midnight Commander on one of my Androids and the supporting libs (including clang took a massive 540MiB while mc itself is small)
• I only noticed because on a default debian install those libs are already there for other elf binaries
• on the Slitaz distro those libs are also installed, when mc is invoked / installed

Termux is Linux joy on Android

Earlier I complained I can't move to Wayland because it does not support the keyboard configurations I use, and refuses to. But even on Xorg, lately whenever I try to customise mod1...mod5 with any commands (e.g. clear mod4, add mod4=, remove mod4=), xmodmap always gives me this obscure error:

X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 118 (X_SetModifierMapping)

this happens on every Debian trixie. and the prebuild keyboard settings you get with setxkbmap options and Gnome interference make a huge mess of assigning Super, Hyper, Meta and Alt to the same keys, which makes Emacs unusable. Trying to do M-x results in M-s-x.

to make it clear, what I want from a keyboard is:
- Meta key is a Meta key. it's not Super, it's not Menu, and it's most definitely not Alt. Just a Meta key that when you press returns Meta_L and triggers a modN that includes the Meta modifier and nothing else.
- Alt key is an Alt and not a Meta. No modN Meta_L or Meta_R modifiers listed on the same table entry as Alts.
- An input method like uim-xim or ibus is functional and able to input Japanese, Arabic, IPA, pīnyīn etc. on all apps.
- I can customise my XCompose sequences.
- There are working Compose and ISO_Level3_Shift keys (and they are not Metas, Alts, Supers etc. etc. but only and exclusively Multi_Key and ISO_Level3_Shift).
- *None of those bullet points break another.*

the fact that the inability to customise modifiers with xmodmap made it into debian stable and nobody cares and there's no solution makes me feel quite lonely, like I'm the last person in the world who still customises her keyboard to do multiple non-Western languages on Emacs in Linux.

I suppose the only way forward is to write my own xkb files from zero… well I did get my unicode combining keyboard distributed with X11 back in the day, I can do it again, I just resent that I *have* to reinvent not just the wheel but the entire car just because no one cares to ship a manual gear anymore…

2. They won't do down-payments (start for free).
3. They want complete copyright ownership of code from day one and she works on their org's github pushing code (IP ownership before payment).
4. They quoted her last year's currency conversion rates when she said USD.
5. They won't allow her to showcase the final public facing website on her portfolio.
6. No deemed acceptance clause.

One thing I’m learning in a non-systemd distro: you have to be the architect of your own service tree. Using Dinit on Artix means if an app (like Mullvad) can't find its daemon, you just gotta check the waits-for dependencies. Sometimes it's a simple pacman -S, other times it’s a quick edit to a service file. It’s more manual, but it is worth it.

I have been interested in Linux distros without SystemD for quite a while. Been using Devuan on a few systems for quite a few years, so has my oldest son.

Trying Artix Linux again and really liking it. Truth is that I haven't yet spent significant time with it, though.

I was an Ubuntu fanboy for nearly 15 years, so most of my Linux experience has been with GTK based programs and desktop environments (typing this from a Cinnamon desktop now, as it is the DE on my laptop along with the i3 window manager).

Possible big step: Yesterday I installed Artix Linux with the latest KDE Plasma desktop environment on a computer for family room use (mostly videos and music).

My children have been using Krita for art and Kdenlive for video editing for years.

Successfully migrated the login to my Forgejo Git-Forge from an outdated installation of Authentik to a containerized Keycloak 26 with Passkey (WebAuthN) authentication 🥳

Getting the users from my FreeIPA LDAP via a secured Wireguard tunnel that only allows port 636 to the IPA replica server in my DMZ.

Works like a charm. Once the handful of users on my instance have linked their new Keycloak identity with their Forgejo account, I can disable the old OIDC with Authentik 🙂

Linux sysadmin question (since it's no longer possible to find actual answers via search on the Internet):

How can I configure the PATH to *always* have a specific directory in it when a shell (Bash) is started, regardless of whether the shell is login/non-login, interactive/non-interactive, etc.?

The normal steps (adding a file in /etc/profile.d which adds to the path) work for login/interactive shells, but not for shells opened by sshd with a command to execute (no pty).

Running Podman in production for years now, and I don't miss the Docker daemon one bit.

I just published a deep dive on managing OCI containers the Unix way: daemonless, rootless, and natively integrated with systemd via Quadlets.

I cover:
- Real secrets management
- Auto-updates via systemd timers
- The Docker compatibility layer

This is the guide I wish I had when making the switch.

Read it here: https://blog.hofstede.it/podman-in-production-quadlets-secrets-auto-updates-and-docker-compatibility/

#Podman #Linux #DevOps #Systemd #Homelab #Sysadmin #Containers

I run 21 OCI containers with Podman (and Quadlets!) on my ARM aarch64 server on Netcup with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10.1. Memory utilization is a bit high, but the system is working absolutely stable for months.

TLS certificates and ingress-routing is handled fully automatically by Traefik and labels, attached to the containers.

Having everything containerized, makes it really easy to clean up 🙂 There's some applications, that I don't even use anymore. Time to clean up.

Then I'll continue, replacing the old Authentik installation with Keycloak for my OIDC applications (Forgejo, Wallos etc.)

You know these dreams that start out nicely, then gradually get more and more hectic, until you wake up?

Last night I dreamt I was going to install Linux. 😃 I was all excited about that adventure. Then I had to choose a distribution. Promptly, a random stranger entered my room, telling me I had to go for Linux Mint. Before I could say anything, more and more random people started filling up my room, arguing their distro was better, until I woke up, heavily breathing. 😆

Oh noes! Not to worry. Some friends have finally reached the end of their Windoze useful service life, and are asking about Linux. Yay!🎉 I remembered that I still had the spare laptop I lost my virginity on, when I transitioned it from W7 to Mint, so I decided to send it their way. I want them to be able to get used to it, while their Win shit is still available to use. I'm swapping Mint over to Zorin, because that's what I mainly use, so it'll be easier for me to help remotely.

#Linux won, and nobody noticed

Linux a déjà depuis longtemps écrasé la concurrence dans la bataille des systèmes d'exploitation, mais peu de personne en ont vraiment conscience.
La totalité de la vie numérique de la planète entière repose aujourd'hui presqu'exclusivement sur Linux : serveurs Web, Cloud, supercalculateurs, systèmes embarqués, téléphones mobiles Android, objets connectés, systèmes bancaires, recherche scientifique, Intelligence Artificielle, etc.

Alt...

Capture d'écran de l'introduction de l'article, en anglais : « The tech industry has failed to properly acknowledge this for years: Linux won. Not "Linux is doing fine." Not "Linux is making progress." Not "maybe next year will be the year of the Linux desktop." No. Linux won. Decisively. Overwhelmingly. In nearly every category of computing that actually matters, Linux is the dominant operating system on the planet — and it happened quietly that most people, including many who use it every single day, have absolutely no idea. »

"Discontinuing support for #Windows10 has left millions of devices less secure than they were before, and many people may not even realize that their perfectly functional Windows 10 laptop is a cybersecurity risk now. If you have one of these devices and can’t or don’t want to replace it, #Linux could be the solution. Linux has become significantly easier to learn and use as a daily driver over recent years, especially more beginner-friendly distributions like Mint."

@nielsa no, that's not what I'm telling you.

I prefer to believe that most people will be thoughtful.

＂… a huge number of bugs. I have so many bugs in the Linux kernel that I can't report because I haven't validated them yet. I'm not going to make some open source developer validate bugs that I haven't checked yet. I'm not going to send them potential slop … I now have … several hundred crashes that they haven't seen because I haven't had time to check them. We need to find a way to fix this …＂

Ok! Initial build script for writerdeckOS v2.0 is done.

I even coded a menu to allow for easy change of default word processor / text editor.

The Terminal Edition defaults to using wordgrinder, but the follow word processors and text editors are loaded into the system and its easy to swap over to them:

- WordGrinder
- Tilde
- Word Perfect
- Joe
- Emacs
- Vi / Vim
- Nano
- Micro

And it's easy to install and run a custom app (text editor or otherwise!).

Also, I added nmtui - a Terminal User Interface for Network Manager to connect to the internet if needed (eg to install a new app or to configure synced cloud folders).

I need to run a couple more QA tests for this and then I'll start putting together the installation media. After testing that on a couple of laptops, I'll push it out officially!

Troubleshooting boot problems on my #Debian #Linux laptop is always fun.

Rebooted to a newer kernel and UEFI couldn't find my boot drive.

I have 2 drives in RAID-1. The RAID is further partitioned, one of which resides a LUKS container, which is LVM and has my root filesystem.

Because UEFI doesn't support RAID, I have an external USB drive permanently plugged in that is my boot drive.

I hate this setup and would love to fix it, but I'm too damn lazy.

Linux-Nutzer in der Webstatistik

Bei Caschy ist die aktuelle Betriebssystem-Statistik erschienen und dass Linux eine Verbreitung von knapp über 3% in der Desktop-Nutzung besitzt. Die Server-Nutzung lassen wir hier aus der Diskussion mal raus.

Mal abgesehen davon, dass Webstatistiken von StatCounter so semi sind, beachtet ja kaum jemand, dass Linux-Nutzer oft deutlich mehr Wert auf Privatsphäre legen und daher eine überdurchschnittlich hohe Anzahl der User die Web-Trackings blockiert und somit nicht in die Statistik zählt.

Die Zahl der Blockierer ist auf anderen Betriebssystemen mangels Interesse und Möglichkeiten deutlich geringer und deshalb werden sie viel häufiger gezählt. Eine Messung mittels der User-Agents auf Abruf-Ebene wäre unter Umständen genauer, weil deutlich weniger Endnutzer ihre User-Agent-Kennung ändern.

#XZ Utils 5.8.3: Sicherheitsupdate mit unklarem Risiko | Security https://www.heise.de/news/XZ-Utils-5-8-3-Sicherheitsupdate-mit-unklarem-Risiko-11244419.html #XZutils #Patchday #Linux #OpenSource

Heavy drama in the open-source world of...

...Office Document Software.

Nextcloud, originally a fork of ownCloud, has launched Euro-Office, a fork of OnlyOffice (pissing off OnlyOffice). Collabora is weighing in and issuing comments against both OnlyOffice and Euro-Office while, itself, forking Collabora Office Desktop from the Document Foundation's LibreOffice. Document Foundation has now resumed LibreOffice Online which competes against Euro-Office and OnlyOffice.

(I think I've got all that right 😅 Correct me if I haven't! 😂)

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 I unironically love this!!!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Document software may appear boring on its face, but Microsoft Office is a big reason why folks still stay with Microsoft OS and don't (can't...) move to Linux. MS Office 365 is often used as a bridge to allow folks to move to Linux while still using Microsoft products in the browser but that solution still keeps them tied to closed source solutions.

Development of Free and Open Sourced Software (FOSS) office products, both desktop apps and online web apps, is a core and key element to allowing FOSS solutions to thrive - both for individuals and organizations.

This level of drama and fighting is indicative of a lot of effort and attention being thrown into this arena. I'm confident over time it'll settle and different projects will merge back together or at the very least borrow and build upon each's efforts.

Read and get your fill of the drama here: https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/02/eurooffice_forks_onlyoffice/

L’impossible est arrivé : Linux franchit la barre des 5 % sur Steam et #Windows tremble (enfin)
https://goodtech.info/linux-steam-5-pourcent-record-historique-gaming-2026/

C’est une nouvelle que beaucoup de technophiles attendaient depuis des décennies. En ce mois de mars 2026, #Valve vient de publier les résultats de son enquête #Steam Hardware & Software Survey, et le verdict est sans appel : #Linux a officiellement franchi la barre symbolique des 5 % de part de marché sur la plateforme. Un bond de géant qui marque un tournant définitif dans l’histoire du jeu vidéo sur PC.

Letzte Woche hatte mich das #Kdenlive #Inkscape #FreeCAD Universum komplett verschluckt.

Ich habe viel gelernt. Insbesonders die Rückbesinnung auf das Wesentliche.

Allerdings gibt es auch Dinge, die ich mir komplett abschminken kann.

Erkenntnis:
Das große Einmaleins baut auf dem kleinen Einmaleins auf und erweitert sich durch cleveres Weiterdenken.
Und:
Man muss den Inhalt interessant gestalten, dann wird die Verpackung unwichtiger oder sogar überflüssig.

Mit Tools wie Cilium oder Tetragon holt man sich Netzwerk-, Security- und Performance-Metrics ohne nennenswerten Overhead. Wenn ihr noch nicht drin seid: Fangt an!

@serigala_tropis Look, the problem with #gentoo is that the OS expects an unusual (however sensible) amount of RTFM, which even most #Linux "influencers" these days clearly cannot be bothered with. I don't mind in most ways, but it's hard to take anything seriously when it starts with a wrong assertion about e.g. compilation.

Jahresplan für mehr digitale Souveränität!

Monat April 2026

Backup & digitale Notfallvorsorge

Resilienz beginnt dort, wo Daten nicht mehr vom Zufall abhängen
Es gibt Monate, die sich nach Technik anfühlen. Der April gehört nicht dazu. Der April ist ein Monat der Resilienz. Ein Monat, in dem es nicht darum geht, das nächste Tool zu testen oder den hundertsten Workflow zu optimieren, sondern darum, eine Frage zu beantworten, die wir alle viel zu lange vor uns herschieben: Was passiert eigentlich, wenn plötzlich alles weg ist?

Diese Frage stellt sich niemand gerne. Sie ist unangenehm. Sie riecht nach Paranoia, nach dem Gefühl, man müsste sich auf Katastrophen vorbereiten, die wahrscheinlich nie eintreten werden. Aber dann gibt es diese Momente. Der Laptop startet eines Morgens einfach nicht mehr. Das Smartphone rutscht aus der Tasche und ist weg, vielleicht im Zug, vielleicht auf der Straße, vielleicht für immer. Ein Wasserschaden in der Wohnung macht nicht nur Möbel unbrauchbar, sondern auch das Gerät, auf dem alles war. Oder es trifft einen ganz anders: Diese eine Schadsoftware, die sich einschleicht und plötzlich jedes angeschlossene Laufwerk verschlüsselt, als wäre jemand gekommen und hätte einen Schlüssel herumgedreht, den nur er besitzt.

I really don't get this interaction between "sync" and "rsync". Tried it a few more times and it doesn't happen always but sometimes the "sync" gets stuck until rsync is finished completely. Even if it has yet to touch e.g. 3TB of data.

WTF?!?

Anyone seeing similar things or is there something else at play too?

Veronica Explains bringt ein neues Video, wie man Linux auf einen alten 90'er Jahre #PowerMac installiert. Da musste ich an meine Erfahrungen mit dem PowerMac G5 denken. Da hatte ich nach dem #OSX eine ganze Zeit lang #Gentoo Linux drauf laufen. Das hat mir am Anfang echt viele graue Haare gebracht. 🧓🍏🐧

Aber last not least lief es dann sehr flott auf der alten Kiste, bis mit dann das ständige Kompilieren zuviel wurde und ich die Hardware verkaufte.

Fehlstart…

Morgens den PC hochfahren, geht es nach dem Filecheck nicht weiter (Bild 1). Stillen Start deaktiviert, zeigt Bild 2 das Ende. Vom USB-Stick ein Live-System starten wollen, um nach möglichen Fehlern zu suchen, zeigt nur einen Unterstrich.

Im Kalender steht nicht, dass der heutige Tag für die Müllkippe vorgesehen ist 🤬

Monitor zeigt die Zeile: /dev/sda1: clean, 292228/4177928 files, 3496829/16711424 blocks Darunter der blinkende Cursor. Weiter geht der Start nicht.

Monitor zeigt den Startprozess. Letzte Zeile lautet: [ OK ] Reached target Graphical Interface. Danach passiert nichts mehr.

Neuer Laptop ist heute angekommen. Habe mich für einen Dell Pro Max 14 MC14250 entschieden. Ein paar Eckdaten:

* Intel Core Ultra 7 265H (16 Core)
* 32 GB RAM
* 1 TB SSD

Es waren auch noch einige andere Modelle von Dell, Lenovo (ThinkPad) und Framework in der Auswahl, aber der hier hat die beste theoretische Performance im Verhältnis zum Preis geboten. Allem voran wegen der CPU.

Ein anderer wichtiger Punkt: Offizieller (!) Linux Support mit Ubuntu ab Werk. Aber was mit Ubuntu läuft, läuft noch viel besser mit Fedora 😉...

In diesem 🧵will ich von meinen ersten Erfahrungen berichten.
