My son bought a second-hand Windows 11 PC for games, and has been having BSOD issues with the graphics card since he got it. Out of desperation he tried installing Bazzite on it, which I encouraged, but was also trying not to get his hopes up, telling him that the some things might not work. But he reports that "absolutely everything works better than Windows".
I suggested he use KDE for the desktop, and he is blown away about how good everything looks, and how easy the user experience is. He has used Linux for a bit probably 7 or 8 years ago when he used a salvaged laptop at uni that had Ubuntu on it, and he remembers that being a bit janky and frustrating, but now he's decided that he'll wipe the Windows partition and stay with Linux.
So keep it up, clever people that are making Linux distros and software, you're winning.

We can say that it was a great pleasure to meet Emmanuele ( @ebassi ), a developer behind the GNOME project.
Last year, we had the opportunity to meet the developer of Niri, a very personal project that it managed by himself. This episode is about a very large project, GNOME. With Emmanuele's help, we gained insights into GNOME and learned how an open-source project with several hundred developers works. https://www.trommelspeicher.de/podcast/special-the-gnome-project

This week on Planet; #openSUSE Leap 16 lands on #Google Cloud, #governance discussions move forward, #Git packaging workflow evolves, and #Linux Kernel CVEs get clarified. From #cloud to #community, it’s all happening in the full roundup https://news.opensuse.org/2026/02/20/planet-roundup/

A few months ago, I asked for some fedihelp with switching from Windows to Linux. It all started with a simple question about saving my Adobe Lightroom edits. It ended with me deciding to get a brand new second Linux computer (with a virtual Windows machine). I had to make some difficult decisions....

Today, however, it was delivered... 🥰

So, I’d been looking for a docking station for home too. Searching online, there are many to choose from and I read that one from #Anker works with #Linux even though it is supposedly incompatible with it. There is also a newer model called #DL7400, which again, is only supposedly compatible with Windows and MacOS but I decided to take a punt and get it.

#Linux does it again. My #laptop has three #USBPorts and all those are #USB2 at best. That could be a severe restriction and limit the number of things I could attach to the #computer at once.

@GrapheneOS @attilax @LearnToLivePrivate @RustRaven @jmoupah @Yrrussaj @sebsauvage @jolla Hey Graphene OS folks.

First, it's really great that you guys have created a security focused deGoogled Android operating system.

Given the problems of American big tech, I applaud you for creating an alternative.

So full credit where credit is due.

That being said, constantly badmouthing every other non-Apple and non-Google smartphone maker and operating system is not a good look.

And jumping into any thread on Mastodon where there's a mention of another alternative smartphone maker or OS to badmouth them is not a good look.

You say Jolla is no good. SailfishOS is no good. Fairphone is no good. Murena is no good. CalyxOS is no good. Dumbphones are no good.

I'd imagine you'd probably win more people over if you talked more about why people should choose Graphene instead why they shouldn't choose one of the others.

Because right now, there are tradeoffs with every mobile OS.

That includes Graphene.

For example, there are people for whom limiting their exposure to Google and Apple is more important than choosing the most locked down option available.

For such people, needing to buy a Google Pixel phone to run Graphene is a massive negative.

That's even if the Google Pixel is the best hardware from a security perspective.

And in that case, yeah there are other options that may be a better fit for those people.

There's another issue.

There seems to be many Reddit threads and YouTube videos and blogs out there from people who were enthusiastic about Graphene, but have soured on it.

And the funny thing is there's a pattern to it. "Cult-like" and "toxic" seems to be phrases that tend to be used a lot.

I've also noticed a recurring pattern you put for why the other alternatives are bad is because people connected with those businesses or companies badmouth Graphene.

It seems to me like Graphene constantly bags those other projects. When anyone connected with those projects responds, that response is presented by you guys as evidence of bullying and harassment, without that context.

And the recurring line about how people should just stick with iOS or Google Android if they don't choose Graphene? Just shameful. And completely misses the point of why some people are looking for alternative platforms in the first place.

And the more people who choose an alternative OS, the more normal it becomes to do it, which ultimately leads to more people looking at alternatives like Graphene.

Den Kurznachrichtendienst X haben wir aus mehreren Gründen Mitte 2023 verlassen und sind zu #Mastodon gewechselt. Doch viele wissen noch nicht, dass es Alternativen gibt.

The Dank Case For Scrolling Window Managers https://lobste.rs/s/pou5h2 #linux
https://tedium.co/2026/01/29/niri-danklinux-scrolling-window-managers/

Found the culprit! It was the `max_id` parameter in `/api/v1/timeline/api/v1/timelines/home` endpoint.

The code inside Tokodon is as follows:

```cpp
// maintimelinemodel.cpp

if (!fromId.isEmpty() && !query.hasQueryItem(QStringLiteral("max_id"))) {
// TODO: this is an *upper bound* so it always is one less than the last post we read
// is this really how it's supposed to work wrt read markers?
query.addQueryItem(QStringLiteral("max_id"), fromId);
}

```

This code can be searched via `max_id` keyword. You need to comment out the `query.addQueryItem` line and Tokodon will work just fine.

I think this is a BUG for the following reasons:

1. `max_id` invalidation failure
2. Lack of retry logic w/o this query item when we know API response (`data` variable) is empty.
3. When user logged out, all such data should be deleted as well. A full logout from the app should've reset this data.

A part of me thinks this info was sent by Mastodon server as part of my account info.

What do you think of the duopoly for desktop environments on Linux?

#linux #desktop #environment #gnome #kde #preference

Considering that under Trump, the US is turning into a fascist terror state where opponents of the orange leader are simply shot dead on the street by his private Gestapo, ICE, or persecuted by his terror justice system, I am considering completely disposing of all US hardware and services that I still use to some extent.

In addition to Linux and Pixel with GrapheneOS, I unfortunately still use a few Apple devices such as MacBook Air, iPhone, Watch, and iPad Mini, and of course I also have a Google and Amazon account for some services. And it is precisely these that now need to be carefully deleted or replaced.

This includes the Pixel with GrapheneOS, both of which come from the US, and there's no telling what else the GrapheneOS team will be forced to do by this criminal government. Under fascism, there is no freedom, no privacy!

In the end, all that's left is an old dumb phone from Nokia. Apple, Amazon, and Google must go completely, and they can be replaced. It's purely for convenience that I haven't completely eliminated them yet. The planned Framework laptop is also canceled. Fedora/RHEL must be replaced by European Linux solutions. Signal, as a US service, also falls under the Cloud Act and is no longer acceptable.

I have a lot of planning and work ahead of me now...

Jeff Bezos is saying the quiet part out loud. They want to kill local computing.

You will own nothing and be happy. You will rent your computing power from the cloud. You pay a subscription for the privilege of using a computer.

AI demand is artificially spiking DRAM prices and Big Tech is pushing "AI PCs," the squeeze is on to force us into a rental model.

Jeff Bezos is saying the quiet part out loud. They want to kill local computing.

You will own nothing and be happy. You will rent your computing power from the cloud. You pay a subscription for the privilege of using a computer.

AI demand is artificially spiking DRAM prices and Big Tech is pushing "AI PCs," the squeeze is on to force us into a rental model.

Reject this future.

Keep your hardware local.

Run #Linux.

Own your data.

The "cloud" is just a landlord for your data.

I am raising $50 to pick up a pair of open-source security keys (SoloKeys or Nitrokey). I'd love to do a review or series about these!

The Mission: Kill off SMS based 2FA and move to hardware backed FIDO2 for my desktop and Proxmox logins. It is time to move my security away from a SIM card and into my own hands.

Testing Password Managers: Moving on from KeePassXC + Syncthing (it has served me well but can be fickle) to try out Proton Pass, which also supports hardware keys. I also had good experiences from Bitwarden and VaultWarden.

Which do you prefer for Linux?

I would greatly appreciate any support of the goal here: https://ko-fi.com/terminaltilt/goal?g=0

I also have a LibrePay (which is much more privacy respecting) here: https://liberapay.com/terminaltilt/donate

When I started experimenting with #Linux again in 2024, I was very impressed at how mature everything had become since I last tried it in the mid-00s. The biggest surprise, though, was #GNOME. It had a level of intentionality and clarity of vision that far exceeded my expectations of a FLOSS project. It made me feel welcome and comfortable.

To the developers of @gnome : Thank you for having the audacity to strive for simplicity in the face of continued criticism from the community. It matters.

@opensuse i did a #linux awareness session at work when Win7 was going EOL. a few people came, only because they liked me, and it was the first time they've even heard about #foss

but when i did one for #endof10 i had dozens of people in the audience, and some of them came to see whether i'll mention their favourite distro (and meme about arch btw in the chat)

seems even non-tech people are starting to care about #sovereignty , #resilience , #security , #privacy and i think that's awesome ❤️

Perfectly usable #computers are being trashed not because they're broken, but because of inflexible #software policies. With the end of #Windows 10 support, the waste cycle is accelerating.

Dear #linux users friends, I need your help.
À week ago, I've installed #opensuse #tumbleweed with #kde #plasma6 and when I want to shutdown I used the classic way (start menu -> shutdown) and the systemd command. But everytime, the computer is not really off, there is still a fan turning somewhere, the computer make the noise as if it was silently working. At the end I'm forced to turn off the electricity.
Any clue?

@opensuse Why is Wayland not the default with KDE Plasma on openSUSE? I recommended openSUSE KDE to two people recently and both of them had problems due to x11 being the default, and switching to Wayland — as i recommended them — fixed their problems. People that don't understand and don't have someone knowledgable would just uninstall openSUSE right away!
