Three years ago, I experimented with introducing automated build testing for RISC-V in Linux GPU drivers. Back then, it was a bit hacky due to the older Debian version used in CI [ https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/19917 ]
Recently, Mesa3D CI was upgraded to Debian 13, which supports RISC-V out of the box — and we’ve already been testing basic RISC-V builds for the past two days!

Hopefully, Imagination will start testing on real hardware soon!

Bonjour,
Un titre qui fera sourire certaines personnes car il fait référence à un film humoristique sorti en 1980 ainsi qu’à l’outil Copilot que Microsoft tente de nous imposer partout, comme c’est le cas avec la plupart des IA génératives. Cela dit, plus je suis l’actualité autour de Microsoft, plus je me pose la question.
Microsoft est l’une des sociétés informatiques les plus connues dans le monde, notamment grâce à son système d’exploitation Microsoft Windows lancé en 1985 et à la suite bureautique Microsoft Office lancée en 1990.
Difficile de passer à côté car la plupart des ordinateurs professionnels et personnels tournent sur Windows depuis des années. La suite Office (Word, Excel, Power Point etc…) a également été très largement utilisée et le reste encore notamment en milieu professionnel (aujourd’hui principalement avec l’offre Microsoft 365), même si de plus en plus concurrencée par des alternatives comme Google Workspace, OnlyOffice ou encore LibreOffice.
Capture d’écran de Windows 11 avec Excel ouvert
Côté système d’exploitation, Windows se porte bien et est toujours massivement utilisé. Cela dit, depuis la fin officielle du support de Windows 10 (il est possible de prolonger gratuitement le support pendant un an pour les personnes en Europe) et les prérequis matériels pour passer à Windows 11, il a perdu un peu de sa superbe.
Des PC parfaitement fonctionnels ne peuvent pas migrer dessus, ce qui force à l’achat d’un nouveau PC si on veut continuer à utiliser Windows (certains diront qu’il y a des méthodes de contournement ou des systèmes alternatifs comme Linux 🤫). Cela dit, ce n’est qu’une des causes.
D’autres s’ajoutent et certaines sont liées directement à des choix faits par Microsoft. Si on s’arrête uniquement à Windows (que j’ai la joie de subir au niveau professionnel), voici quelques points que l’on peut noter et j’en oublie sûrement :
Source Reddit
Certains de ces points se retrouvent dans d’autres services Microsoft mais vu que je ne compte pas faire une encyclopédie sur le sujet, je vais m’arrêter à la liste concernant Windows.
Dans les autres grands produits de Microsoft, on a leurs consoles Xbox qui ont réussi à rentrer dans la danse avec la première du nom lancée en 2001, suivie par la Xbox 360 lancée en 2005 qui sera la plus vendue (85 millions d’unités) chez Microsoft. Les consoles qui sont venues après n’ont pas eu autant de succès, la Xbox Series X s’étant vendue à moins de 30 millions d’unités, reste que pour cette dernière, elle est sortie l’année du Covid-19 et des confinements et que les ventes ont été impactées par des ruptures de stocks.
Photo d’une Xbox 360 par Mahmoud Yahyaoui
Le problème n’est pas lié aux capacités des consoles mais plutôt à la communication autour de celle-ci par Microsoft. Par exemple, pour la Xbox One, il avait été annoncé que la Kinect serait obligatoire avant de faire marche arrière devant la réticence massive des joueurs. On peut ajouter à cela qu’il était prévu que la connexion à internet soit obligatoire et également de restreindre l’accès aux jeux d’occasion… Autant d’annonces qui ont mis à mal le lancement de la console.
Autre exemple plus récent, Microsoft s’est lancé le 16 Octobre 2025 dans les consoles portables ROG Xbox Ally avec ASUS (pour concurrencer la Nintendo Switch ou le Steam Deck) avec un Windows 11 personnalisé afin de rendre la navigation plus agréable. Un test complet de la Asus ROG Xbox Ally X a été réalisé par 01net.
L’un des arguments mis en avant est l’accès au Game Pass. Seulement, en plus du prix assez élevé de la console, peu de temps avant la sortie, le prix du Game Pass augmente fortement… Nouvelle bourde niveau communication…
Sans compter que ce type de consoles a encore sa place à trouver. La Switch (1 ou 2) bien que portable est souvent utilisée sur une station branchée sur une TV pour jouer à plusieurs à Mario Kart par exemple. La cible en termes de joueurs n’est clairement pas la même.
Et comme si cela ne suffisait pas, des personnes ont installé sur cette console la distribution Linux Bazzite taillée pour le jeu vidéo et offrant une interface à la SteamOS. Cela a grandement amélioré l’expérience en jeu ! Dans certains cas, ils ont pu avoir 30% de performances en plus que sur Windows, ce qui fait une sacrée différence et ne met pas à l’honneur Windows ou le travail réalisé par Microsoft sur la partie logicielle.
Il semble bien que l’œuvre de Microsoft fasse actuellement un grand gagnant ! Linux qui était quasi inconnu du grand public et vu comme un truc que seuls de sombres barbus ou des OVNI utilisaient (uniquement en lignes de commande évidemment) grimpe en flèche. Cela reste minime comparé à Windows mais il a atteint les 5% en Juin 2025 alors qu’il était bien en dessous des 2% en 2020. Une autre statistique intéressante, c’est le fait que Steam a enregistré un record de 3% de joueurs sous Linux. Reste à voir si c’est une mode passagère ou une tendance qui va s’installer sur le long terme.
Pour finir, tous ces éléments me donnent l’impression que Microsoft n’a plus de pilote à bord et peine à rester en vol grâce à son Copilot. Reste à savoir pour combien de temps ou s’ils vont réagir positivement avant le crash ?
L’avenir nous le dire ! Merci d’avoir lu jusqu’au bout ce long pavé.

Slackware was my first Linux distribution 30+ years ago. I've now come full-circle and it's running again on my laptop. It's like nothing has changed and I think that is awesome! Of course, things have changed, but I think you know what I mean.

Bon, je VEUX essayer linux (mint ou zorin, de préférence, pour pas être trop paumée par rapport à Windows)
Je n'ai plus d'ordi "à jeter" pour tester.
Je me souviens avoir vu passer une petite entreprise (association ?) spécialisée dans la remise en état de vieux PC, qui les vend pas cher.
Si vous me retrouver un lien, ce serait sympa !
Ah ben v'là aut'chose.
Mon Toshiba sous Windows 7 ne peut pas booter sur une clé USB, puisqu'il ne détecte pas les clés (elles ne s'allument pas) tant qu'il n'a pas lancé windows.
J'ai même réglé le bios/uefi pour démarrer en priorité sur clé, ça marche pas.
Windows 7 ne semble pas disposer de fonctionnalité permettant de redémarrer sur clé (ça marche pas shift+redémarrer).
C'est compliqué d'installer #linux dans ces conditions ^^°
(Cette clé a très bien fonctionné sur un autre ordi)
Pas si simple, mais j’ai réussi a installer #Linux sur mon vieux laptop ASUS X52J. J’ai suivi la fameuse vidéo de Darty. Avec l’aide de ChatGPT et Gemini pour l’accès au Bios et la configuration de la clé USB (finalement via Rufus car erreur avec Balena), Zorin OS 18 tourne. C’est beaucoup mieux que sous Windows 10 mais pas rapide non plus, pas de miracle sur une vieille machine. Plus qu’à explorer cet univers maintenant

@culturepoub oui mais bon.
Le but d'une "entreprise" dans le système capitaliste c'est de faire du profit. Donc #microsoft ne va pas payer des salariés sans raison.
Donc au lieu de demander n'importe quoi, pourquoi ne pas utiliser #Linux?
The Debian #Linux project plans to introduce hard dependencies on the Rust lnag into core components, specifically the APT package manager, starting no earlier than May 2026. The developer strongly urges maintainers of Debian ports for different architectures to ensure they have a working Rust toolchain within the next six months. In sort, Rust lang (toolchain) becoming a mandatory component of Debian's core infrastructure.
To everyone who says ‘install Linux’ as a solution to Windows problems (or ‘install LibreOffice’ as a solution to MS Office problems), imagine how you would react if you posted about Linux problems and all of the responses were ‘install Haiku’. Would it work? Maybe, but the person saying it has no idea what you do on Linux, whether the apps that you use run on Haiku (or have alternatives that you could switch to). Neither of you have a clear understanding of how much time and effort the switch would take, or what the network effects are that make switching hard.
If you have actually engaged with them, understood their requirements fully, and have a migration path outlined for them, great. If you’re just being a dick, think about how that makes people perceive Linux users: Maybe that isn’t a great way of driving adoption.

I once installed popos on a huawei notebook and ran into two problems: Hibernation did not really work and in sleep the battery drained like crazy and with the encryption of popos it sometimes didn’t boot anymore because it could not find a bootable drive. Without encryption it worked.

Alright! Our town has our first Linux Install Party scheduled for next Saturday!
Plenty of volunteers to help out. We got a free meeting room at the library. We're installing Linux Mint as a default (but will be able to install other distros). We're putting together demo laptops this week.
Going to use this as a "first event" to iron out how to do it. Will set up to do it on a more consistent basis next year. May even make it part of the repair cafe and an official library event moving forward.
I'll let y'all know how it goes!!!
Yesterday I completed the migration from Authentik to Pocket ID on all of my homelab services!
I also included Tinyauth to link OIDC to a service without a login page.
Today, there was a part of me that silently made me think that get rid of my secondary domain and buying a new one was a good idea.
So here I am. Melting on the sofa after 10 hours of Ansible, OIDC clients, creating users, tweaking config files, VPN, Jenkins security and jobs configurations, plus your regular system administration.
Oh, did I mention that it was supposed to be my day off? 😅

Juste pour dire que j'ai testé #handy, logiciel libre, qui fait de la reconnaissance voix vers texte en LOCAL STRICT (oui oui !) pour pas un centime sur #Linux (et tous les OS) et que c'est absolument merveilleux de résultats !

Oui parce que dans la très grande boîte où je suis, t'as même pas un soft au catalogue pour utiliser ton scanner et sortir un pdf... alors un truc comme handy ...

Copying 20yr old backups onto the RiscPC via vsftpd running on Slackware AArch64 (HoneyComb LX2). Just another step toward getting the StrongARM RiscPC running Slackware again!
I definitely forgot how slow half-duplex 10Mbit Ethernet is:
~250 KB/sec feels like time travel 🐢💾
Fortunately I had a 100Mbit hub stashed in the loft, because the RiscPC's NIC wouldn't negotiate on the Gbit switch.
At this rate I might it might be finished for next week!
So, the first test of updating something on my now permanently offline recording studio PC (Win10) came up, and you know what? It was no aggro at all. Must have taken less than two of your earth minutes to plug/unplug/plug/unplug/plug the USB stick between the Win10 PC and the (safe online cuz it's Mint!) everyday laptop, to activate the new (V9) Moddart Pianoteq. Oh, I had to copy/paste something! Such a chore!! 😎

I'm running some tests on my old and trusted Raspberry Pi A+.
I've installed Raspbian - latest release, lite version. At the prompt, it's using 92 MB of RAM, mainly due to systemd and NetworkManager. As soon as you use it (even just for apt), it starts swapping and becomes almost unusable. It took 5 minutes just to install Python.
I tried NetBSD (on the same memory card): 35 MB of RAM used (including Postfix!) and it's totally usable.

I use #Linux. If I may, a word of advice to fellow #Linux users, fan boys and zealots.
When someone toots about problems, or otherwise, in #Windows, unless you have something constructive to add, shut the fsck up about "just install Linux".
It makes you look like a dickhead, doesn't solve the problem, and probably gets you blocked. Not everyone has the ability or need to install #Linux. Regardless of how much better it is.

I've steadfastly resisted doing this since I hate to do #Linux sysadmin work on my server and don't want to do it on anything else. But Windows has gotten ridiculous and Macs Just Don't Work.
Assuming I want to do this:
1) which distro is the least work?
2) what hardware should I get? I started with Macs in the first place because of zero fan noise so that's #1
3) what cell phone(s) should I get?

Puisqu'on parle Linux, j'ai une question
J'ai actuellement un Mint 21.3, avec support jusqu'en 2027. Il existe un Mint 22.X avec support jusqu'en 2029, mais le 23.X doit sortir en 2026.
D'où ma question : est-ce qu'il vaut mieux mettre à jour maintenant en 22.X ou attendre le 23 ? Corollaire : Est-ce que le 23 pourra s'installer sur un 21 ou faudra-t'il de toutes façons passer en intermédiaire par un 22 ?
Je ne connais pas les habitudes de Mint. #linux #mint
Bij mijn poll over #PeerTube geeft 1 op de 5 aan het regelmatig te gebruiken. Dat is hoger dan ik had verwacht en voldoende reden om te kijken of ik ook daar wat van mijn #Linux video's kan gaan publiceren.
Wel goed om te realiseren: mensen op een decentraal platform zoals Mastodon zijn wat kritischer en de poll is niet representatief voor "de gemiddelde persoon".
End result: perfect, as far as I can tell.
What I thought was a bug was, in fact, an enhancement. For VirtualBox, it's no longer necessary to blacklist a module:

Think NetBSD is just some spooky, complicated thing for old-school hackers? Nah.
But all that legendary portability and rock-solid reliability? That doesn't happen by magic.
Every stable update, cool new feature, and wild new platform it supports (yes, even your toaster) comes from the hard work of the NetBSD community. And honestly, they're powered by support from people just like you.
When you donate to the NetBSD Foundation, you're directly helping to:
Keep NetBSD's code clean, secure, and ready for whatever's next.
Supercharge the build systems and infrastructure that our devs live on.
Cook up more docs, guides, and resources for new users and seasoned pros.
Make sure "Of course it runs NetBSD" stays a free-for-everyone reality.
Your contribution is what keeps NetBSD stable, modern, and running on (almost) everything. Pitch in to support the work that keeps #NetBSD awesome!

Google Docs has a handy “Copy as Markdown” feature where you can paste rich text and then copy it out as (at least mostly reasonably-formatted) markdown. This is handy for quick and dirty conversion of a web page’s content, e.g. to quote in a blog post.
Is there some native app on Flathub I can use to do something similar? The perfect scenario would be just pasting rich text into a text field and it immediately converts it and spits out the Markdown into the text box.
Good morning Fedi friends! 🌈✨
Made it back to France and now I’m at my in laws’.
I forgot a wired keyboard at my parents’ in Italy and I only have a wireless keyboard and mouse with me, which were never paired to my Raspi. Mother-in-law came to my rescue and gave me an old wired mouse… and with #Ubuntu’s accessibility setting and on screen keyboard I was able to log in and connect my gear. Ouf!

Now I had some powerful epiphanies yesterday, with my rickety Sharkey instance.
Sad to say that because it locked me out, and recovery codes aren’t working either, its fate is now sealed. I lost all trust in it and won’t spend any more precious time on it.
But this ONLY relates to my self-hosted Sharkey, which has been cursed from the start, not the software itself, which is WONDERFUL.
I’ll stop putting my energy on it and carry on with my plan (a quiet corner of the Fediverse) on @ruud’s calckey.world — which worked perfectly for me last year, when I was test driving Sharkey. Time to resurrect the account and set up monthly recurring donations.

At the end of the day, I have these 2 #ZFS raidz6 pools that are spinning rust. I have a SAS SSD that I can use to help speed up. I thought using it as a SLOG would help, but that doesn't sound like it will.
So can it help improve performance? (a) what role do I give it? and (b) is there a way to use the same drive to do this for both pools, or will that just create an I/O bottleneck that defeats the purpose?
So … while this is obviously nice for virtualized gaming, what about video decode/encode acceleration?
Is there a way to give a #Linux guest access to the host #GPU's video codec acceleration without GPU passthrough?
Just like it's possible to pass /dev/dri into a container, can I do a similar thing with a #QEMU / #KVM virtual machine?

"Linux has also been ported to itself. You can now run the kernel as a userspace application - this is called UserMode Linux (UML)."
"Today, we’ll explore how you can start an unconventional VM by running a Linux kernel as a process within the Linux kernel itself. This approach doesn’t require installing virtualization software like QEMU, nor does it need root privileges, which opens up some intriguing possibilities."

Any #ZFS folks want to offer me an opinion on the following? I have 2 ZFS pool of raidz2 with 7 2TB SAS drives each (about 11.5T). I want to add a LOG drive. I have a single SAS SSD that's 300G. When I suggested using a 1TB LOG drive earlier, someone said that was way too much. (which is why I picked up a used 300G SSD)
My question is whether it makes sense (is possible) to partition that drive into 2 partitions and have one pool use 1 partition as a log drive (e.g., 150G) and the other pool use the other partition as a log drive on the same physical device.
Is this going to be worse because it's just too much IO on one device? Is it reasonable? Any other ideas?

#Fedora 43 is out today! Come and get your love!
Fedora Linux 43 was released: fedoraproject.org 
I run the beta/rc since early September and so far, it's absolutely rock-solid and stable!
Did a "dnf distro-sync" and a complete SELinux relabel today (running my system in enforcing mode) just to ensure, everything is clean.
Amazing release. I tip my fedora for all the people at @fedora

Linux Question... (I welcome all responses and advice):
Debian 13.x Trixie (and beyond presumably) no longer supports 32bit architectures (no x86 / i386 etc).
While Debian Bookworm LTS does and is still supported for now, are there any other distros that maintain a supported 32bit version of linux?
(I'm developing and maintaining OS's that run on 32bit CPUs. Yay permacomputing!)

NVIDIA GP107M GeForce GTX 1050i Mobile
I installed an NVMe SDD a while back so the hard disk isn't a limitation.
It took two tries to get it installed. I went with KDE for a more Steam Deck like experience.
I'm having some issues.
I can't figure out how to add custom repositories due to the read only / filesystem.
Why would I need to do this?
I use https://www.insynchq.com/ to sync with OneDrive. It's how I keep Obsidian synced across devices. It's also where I keep my password safe that I load into KeepassXC for use with LibreWolf and that doesn't work with FlatPak installs.
I either need custom repos or a simple way for cross-FlatPak communication.
Docker introduces experimental nftables support in version 29.0.0.

From my "crushingly dull obligatory tech history" in BSD Cafe wiki:
❮ Former Mac user (1992–2014; AppleSeed programme member 2009–2014). The GUI of OS X 10.10 Yosemite drove me away from Apple. I gradually switched from OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks to PC-BSD. Then TrueOS, then FreeBSD-CURRENT. In the midst of all that, something with FreeBSD in September 2012 … probably toying with 9.0 on a PowerPC iMac with failing graphics hardware. Not because I was a glutton for punishment (like, the horror of a command-line loader, and the certainty that hardware was failing) – because there was nothing good to be done with the Mac, and I was curious about non-Apple alternatives to Microsoft Windows.
Essentially: KDE Plasma on FreeBSD-CURRENT from around 2015 until 2025 … ❯

Ma pensée du jour...
Adopter #Linux, c'est une chose ; y persévérer, c'en est une autre !
Nous voyons beaucoup de personnes annoncer fièrement avoir franchi le pas.
N'oublions pas que, pour l'instant, Linux jouit d'un certain effet de mode.
Le simple fait de prononcer le mot "Linux" ou de l'insérer dans une conversation confère une aura de connaissance ou de distinction.
Attention au retour de bâton !
It's apparently time for my semi-annual "I wish I had a #Linux #ARM build system" post. But, as usual, I can't actually find a good solution to my problem.
I'm ~12h into compiling #VyOS for ARM right now, running on a system with 4x A73 cores. That's way, way too slow.
Moving it to a Pi 5 would help slightly (~2x, maybe?). There are a few 6-8 core SBCs or similar with faster CPUs for under $250. After that, I *think* I could piece together a 80 or 96-core Ampere Altra system for $1500 or so.
Surely there's *some* ARM system that will run Linux and fits between (say) a RK3588 and an Ampere server, righjt?
Presumably it'd be possible to run Linux on a M1 or M2 Mac mini, but driver support seems dodgy.
Or maybe ARM Linux in a VM on a new er Mac mini? That'd probably sidestep a lot of the driver issues with M3/M4 CPUs and Linux.
I could probably try qemu running on my x86 desktop; it's almost certainly slower than running natively, but it'd probably still outperform a 4-core power-constrained system.
Or I could farm this out to AWS/GCP/etc. That'd certainly be cheaper up front, but I'd end up paying to sling multi-GB images back and forth all day.
Anyone have any other suggestions?

@bestiaexmachina a live image is a bootable image that launches a full desktop (instead of just the installer) and lets you use any compatible computer with #Linux without installing. It can be used to test compatibility without installing too :)
Dual boot is when you reduce the disk used for one OS to install another OS on the freed space, and then be able to choose which to use at boot time.

Okay, fedi hive mind, an actual Linux question!
If I have manually installed packages on Debian/Ubuntu, not tied to any repository, and they are marked as ‘obsolete’ by apt, is there any way to override this, and mark them as not obsolete?
It’s a legacy system that will never be upgraded beyond this, and we want to be sure that these packages remain firmly in place, and cannot be accidentally removed by an overly broad purge command. Everything I have tried so far, including putting a hold on them with ‘apt-mark’, and pinning that specific version for that specific package, does not seem to do the trick.
My search foo seems to be failing me on this. Is this simply not possible? Or am I missing something?
Boosts welcome.

🤔 Je tourne depuis une bonne semaine avec #Ubuntu2510 sur mon #Asus #Zenbook.
Tout fonctionne bien, sauf une chose : je note des pics d'utilisation CPU par moments, jusqu'à 80%, pendant quelques secondes (et ça "freeze" le bureau Gnome).
C'est toujours lorsqu'une vidéo est lue, que ce soit depuis Youtube (donc en streaming) ou depuis Totem (vidéo téléchargée). Lorsque je lis les mêmes vidéos avec @FreeTube ou depuis VLC, aucun pic CPU à noter.
I am planning on creating a video channel about #Linux named Linux Lorem (https://linuxlorem.com/). Now #PeerTube came up a few times. So that raises a few questions, including on how to use it in the future.
Now the big question for you: How often do you watch videos on PeerTube 📽️?
Would appreciate a boost 🚀 to get as many people responding and get a better picture.
| 10+ videos for sure: | 5 |
| Just a few videos so far: | 3 |
| None: | 1 |

Today I learned that in #Linux you can restrict users' ability to view processes owned by other users. Just add the "hidepid" mount option for /proc. In many systems /proc is handled automatically by systemd, but can be overridden by adding it to fstab. I just used the "mount" command to see what mount options were already being used and added a "hidepids" mount option, and added that to fstab.
There may be disadvantages to this, so be careful and watch for unexpected breakage.
If you complain that you have a problem with #Windows and are unhappy that people on Fediverse always bring up #Linux when you come here to post your complaint, I have a question: instead of here, have you tried the #Microsoft support or forums?
I mean at some point the "I just want Windows to work" is a fair and understandable point, but it will just be shouting in the wind if you don't bring your complaints to the people and company making it.
And I say that as an IT tech, I know how it works: if there's no support ticket about a problem, there's no feedback proof, and therefore the problem officially doesn't exist.
EDIT: to be very clear, I'm not writing all this with the intent of presenting MS forums and support as the best way to solve your problems with their products.
It's more that, as someone who deals with how tech support is handled on a daily basis, as I mentioned above, companies have processes for all that, and I can guarantee you that when it comes to handling feedback, they follow them strictly, especially when it comes to being held accountable for unwanted features or overall problems.
Users are being unhappy with ads or AI features and complain they can't deactivate them all? "Where are the tickets at our support to back that up?" is gonna be their answer. And we all know most of us, most of the overall user base never bother with that, leaving the gates full open for Microsoft to be like those aren't issues for the majority of users.

""Things feel fairly normal, and in fact the numbers say it's been a bit calmer than usual, but that's likely just the usual fluctuation in pull request timing rather than anything else. The diffstat certainly is pretty short and flat, I think the biggest change is from some smbdirect fixes (both client and server side), the rest really looks pretty minimal.
The high-level stats look very normal too, with half the patches being drivers (counting devicetree bindings there too), and the rest being pretty random and spread out. So we have the aforementioned smb fixes, some xfs fixes, and then random noise elsewhere. See the shortlog below for details.

Just rescued an Acer #chromebook circa 2014 from being binned.
Wiped chromos and installed #xubuntu 20.04
Went for an older version of Xubuntu out of caution. Gambling that a 2020 OS would be new enough to easily handle the hardware/driver setup but not be too 'big' for the Celeron 1.4GHz and 2GB of RAM to cope.
Result! It absolutely flies along!
And everything works 100%
So my question dear peeps is do I bring the Xubuntu bang up to date or "not fix what ain't broken"?

I do have #openbsd as dualboot option together with #linux installed. My only problem with that is that a sysupgrade overwrites my grub and i then have to boot the linux installation once with a live-system to run a grub-install again.
I wonder if it is possible to avoid this annoying little step every 6 months.
Late-night hacking session, migrating from U-Boot on the Raspberry Pi to the native bootloader as part of our push for full RPi 5 support in Slackware.

I chose to use my trusty wget to download the image of Recall Box.
Getting it up and running is as easy as writing the image on a microSD card and booting the SBC from that card.
Apart from the SBC you also need to connect a USB game controller, since that is the primary mode of interaction in most games
There are a lot of systems available and for some systems you of course need the ROM.
For the Amiga I have the ROMs for the A4000T the A500 the A1200.
Having the physical ROM doesn't mean that you can already use them, because you need to be able to boot the machine after 20 to 30 years, have a video output that works in 2025.
Only then can you extract the ROM and put it in a file which should then put in the correct directory on your recall box
There are many gaming systems which do not need a separate ROM. On those you can execute games immediately. Just scrolling through the system directory will take you many minutes that's how many systems there are available.

@serge @Lilliana_S Yeah that's a good point. While one certainly *can* get somewhere with a generic introduction article or video (or book), I suspect the experience of learning to use #Linux is going to be most engaging and rewarding if you can approach it from the angle of "I want to do <X>. How do I do it in Linux?"
@Lilliana_S There are more than a few. Linux for Dummies, perhaps.
If you want something more cheat sheet oriented that moves past stuff for newbies:
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/linux-unix/30-days-of-linux/
That's probably more than most new users want to learn in 30 days, lol.
I recommend Linux Mint (I use it, and I'm not a new user.) It defaults to the Cinnamon UI, which feels very familiar to users of other operating systems. If you're not using the command line, it feels like Windows or (somewhat) MacOS.
Read on for some more geeky stuff, all of which is about the command line, that you probably didn't ask for.
Some things to remember about the command line that get some new users frustrated:
The command line has quirks because of how key characters are interpreted. It also handles filenames differently than in the GUI.
Linux lets you use shortcuts at the command line, which is very helpful to programmers. It's a powerful scripting language. However, with filenames, it isn't conventional. In general, if something has spaces in its name, it works best to quote it. An example from ssh:
ssh 'my cool song.aif' me@other.computer:/home/me/Music
That successfully copies 'my cool song.aif' to your Music folder in your home directory tree on another PC.
ssh my cool song.aif me@other.computer:/home/me/Music
That will throw errors because it cannot find the files "my" "cool" and "song.aif". Quotes are your friend.
There are many Linux users who still use underscores instead of spaces in filenames because they "just work".
Single quotes mean 'literally this'. Double quotes call on the operating system to interpret text, some of which may be those shortcut commands to the operating system I mentioned above. If you are putting quotes around the name of a file, either will suffice, weirdly.
Oddly, a backslash, used in directory names in Windows, is used in Linux to indicate that the next character is to be taken literally, and not interpreted by the operating system. In single quotes, that won't work - it takes it as a literal backslash. In double quotes, it will.

Si t'es libriste/linuxien militant c'est maintenant ou jamais. Va au plus vite au #repairCafé du coin. J'en sors : des hordes, DES HORDES de mamies en galère, prêtes à t'écouter et recevoir ton aide bienveillante
Donc au lieu de tenir la nième permanence du club #linux entre convaincus qu'ont déjà migrés pré-calvitie ou de troller sur LinuxFR. VA VERS ELLEUX faire triompher la cause pour de vrai. SORS DU MILIEU LIBRISTE.
En 20 ans, y'a jamais eu une telle opportunité
Petite question aux nouveaux arrivant sous #linux
Qu'est-ce qui vous embête le plus ?
A diffuser svp, afin de pouvoir mieux aider et faciliter la migration.

The Swift project announced the availability of a cross compilation Swift SDK for Android development (you can install it on #Linux apart from Windows and macOS), allowing developers to build Swift packages for various Android architectures.
Hello!
Je vais installer #Linux à quelqu'un qui a presque toujours été sous #windows
Personnellement j'utilise Archlinux avec mate depuis des années.
Évidemment je ne vais pas lui mettre Archlinux mais ça me fait hésiter : dans tous les cas je pense partir sur #linuxmint. Mais plutôt Cinnamon (plus stable ? mieux intégré ?) ou Mate (ce que je connais moi sous Arch) ?
Merci pour vos avis !
@tecnoysoft exactly; a talking point … thank you for being part of a gift.
What is FreeBSD? The Foundation's page no longer makes a distinction between FreeBSD and Linux. Before and after:
― <https://web.archive.org/web/20231031173434/https://freebsdfoundation.org/freebsd-project/what-is-freebsd/> (October 2023)
― <https://freebsdfoundation.org/freebsd-project/what-is-freebsd/> (October 2025)
It is what it is 🙂
What is a Linux distribution?
Good question.
FreeBSD – up to position 26 (seen in this Linux Renaissance video) is:
― a distro
― a talking point
― a gift.

Winux – Thème Windows sous Linux
Un nouveau venu pour aider les personnes qui souhaitent essayer les logiciels libres et open source sans perdre leurs habitudes visuelles
Aucune limitation matérielle, aucune exigence absurde. Inspiré de Windows 10 et 11, le système d'exploitation Winux est rapide et sécurisé, comme tout système d'exploitation basé sur Linux devrait l'être. Winux prend en charge nativement plusieurs programmes Windows (.exe et .msi) grâce à Wine préinstallé. Il prend également en charge Android et PlayStore via PowerTools.
Configuration matérielle requise pour Winux :
Architecture Intel ou AMD 64 bits
3 Go de RAM (4 Go recommandés)
25 Go d'espace disque (disque SSD de 50 Go recommandé)
*Pour les machines virtuelles, il est recommandé d'installer les modules complémentaires invités et d'activer la prise en charge 3D.

I understand that using #Linux for #privacy is like the boy plugging the holes in the dike with his fingers. Everything I do online is monitored by one or more of the #faang no matter what I do (or I guess the acronym should be #manga now that Facebook is now Meta). It's just the principle of having to log into your own hardware like it was a website is so abhorrent to me. I should not have to beg #microsoft or anyone else for permission to use my own computer!
RDSEED is failing on AMD Zen 5 CPUs under certain conditions.
I disagree with the conclusion of the devs here.
You do not disable an entropy source just because it's failing. Flag it on boot that it shouldn't contribute to the entropy estimation, but keep it enabled.
It truth, you shouldn't be relying on any single entropy source, but several. Losing one source that is sending zeros to the entropy pool should not be concerning.

I want my #JellyFin server to be served over HTTPS.
I had nginxproxymanager running, but it has stopped working with Let's Encrypt.
What's the *simplest* way to add HTTPS to #JellyFin? It's an Ubuntu box with the default Jellyfin installed (no Docker or anything complicated like that).

but seriously, i would like to ask everyone:
do you use your OS/GUI's "save/restore session" feature?
it's the one where during shutdown, the computer remembers which apps and windows are open, and tries to recreate that layout upon next boot
i personally liked it very early on, but stopped using it after i realized that it's practically just a worse autostart that makes startup even slower

Today I discovered that systemd supports what are called "drop-in" files to modify systemd services at start time. So if you want to make modifications to a systemd service that persist thru package upgrades (which may changes you've made otherwise), you can use them. The easiest way to do it is with:
systemctl edit SERVICENAME --drop-in=SOMENAMEYOUWANT
It'll create a drop-in file that gets loaded and will pre-empt other directives in the service.
Link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd#Drop-in_files
Brainstorming the easiest and most hands-off way to avoid manually editing my systemd service files to keep services inside their chroot jail even after updating a package, and at least with the Debian package version of #Jellyfin, there's a config file at /etc/systemd/system/jellyfin.service.d/jellyfin.service.conf that allows you to override the systemd service's default settings. So I just added my custom RootDirectory directive here.

apparently, Fedora has decided to allow LLM-generated code contributions given some requirements in regards to accountability of whoever submitted it And that sucks. and I guess I won't be supporting them as much anymore.

Dear #Linux people:
A friend with a flaky internet wants to migrate to Linux. They can't download the ISOs with just the browser. Remote help is hard too. They tried BT, but the binary they tried didn't work.
I'm looking for a no-thrills just-works install-less download-EXE-and-run download manager for #Windows that works on any ~current windows version (say, XP onwards? :). This last requirement is because I plan to suggest the same tool to other people who wants to migrate.
Boosts welcome.

Es ist sehr schade, dass man #SAP als europäisches und in Deutschland ansässiges Unternehmen nicht als Verbündeten in Sachen Digitale Souveränität betrachten kann.
Für den Erfolg von #Linux und #OpenSource haben sie in der Vergangenheit viel beigetragen.
Je suis à l'aise avec #linux, j'ai déjà installé des tas de versions (et de distributions — toutes dérivées de #Debian ) sur mes ordinateurs personnels successifs, et j'aimerais me rendre disponible sur cette carte, mais je n'ai pas d'idée des bonnes pratiques pour accompagner une migration (la mienne est bcp trop ancienne)
Existe-t-il un document, quelque part, qui donne des pistes (et des checklists) sur comment aider à une migration vers Linux ?

I'm definitely looking for things that connect to NextCloud, but, whatever else you think I should check out, please - lmk! ...and mention what it does, pls.
There is one question I need answered before I can really explore that. How TF do I connect to wifi in #Linux without a GUI? I'm tentatively planning to install arch on it without a GUI.
Is anyone else finding that their network connections are VERY slow this week? I'm trying to decide whether the slowness and browser timeouts are still the aftermath of the big outage (so likely to improve) or an effect of my awful internet connection (so I need to yell at someone at my ISP.
DNS is probably involved, since the worst problems seem to happen when I try to follow links to servers I'm not currently accessing.
Does anyone have root DNS servers they favor?
