“Free Software” is a defined term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software

Git/Linux

Oh, yeah. If it’s your primary work environment I can see how you could use such features. I use the terminal maybe 1-2 per day, so it’s not a priority for me. Thanks for clarifying!

Is it crazy that I just use the default provided terminal emulator (Fedora/Gnome)? Why would I use something like this?

I bought a cheap one in 2012 and it has an Ethernet port.

I do this too. Folders in the bookmarks toolbar. If I’m not done with a topic I just drag-and-drop these tabs into a folder. If you middle click one of these folders every bookmarks opens in a new tab for quick access.

I was searching for this a few days ago and was stunned that you aren’t able to just create an empty file in the gnome file manager.

In the terminal you can use touch file.txt to create an empty file, but it should be possible to do this in the file manager.

I think Bitlocker isn’t even supported on Windows 11 Home. I was shocked when I wanted to set up disk encryption on my wife’s notebook.

It’s funny, the areas dashboard is pretty much what I build for myself. It’s a great new addition.

Thank you for pointing it out.

People just don’t learn.

Don’t worry, I’m using an over 10 year old on-board Atom Mainboard, and it works fine with several services running.

The page probably gets currently much more traffic than usual.

Reminds me a bit of the MNT Reform: https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-reform

Yeah, I’m not sure what happened. I reinstalled it now, maybe it won’t happen again.

Atomic distros should be good in that respect, including atomic Fedora distributions (Silverblue/Kinoite/…)

I’ve now tried Fedora Silverblue in a virtualbox VM. After the first update, GDM wouldn’t start. I tried to restore to the older installed version and then updating this version, but now both versions are borked. Oh well …

Ok, that’s great!

My concern is has more to do with metadata, wich can be collected. If there’s a local alternative or a self-hosted one for something, I’m more inclined to use these than something that depends on a third party.

No, thanks:

It uses a WebRTC peer-to-peer connection. WebRTC needs a signaling server that is only used to establish a connection. The server is not involved in the file transfer.

If your devices are paired and behind a NAT, the PairDrop TURN Server is used to route your files and messages.

Which distro? I’ve upgraded Mint on the weekend. The installer failed with an error where i couldn’t get good infos about online.

Then i just rebooted the system out of frustration. Surprisingly it seems to work fine.

Is there a distro where upgrades just work? Maybe Fedora? Or i just install arch on the system, it works great on my server for the last 10 years without reinstall.
