I'm on this #linux thing since autumn 1999. Being able to break out of the windows hellscape was such an unbelievable breath of fresh air back then. And it continued to be for a very long time.
Seeing what they're doing to my beloved computering backyard garden, invokes a feeling of somebody setting my secret lair of comfort on fire.
2 days of running #OpenBSD as a daily driver has been smooth as silk. I fixed the touchpad issue on my thinkpad and getting a linux VM setup for my web dev build and deploys was way easier than FreeBSD.
I am absolutely loving this operating system. it's solid, doesn't eat resources, and is simply a joy to use. I'm now seriously considering nuking my nixos partition and just putting debian or bazzite on it for only gaming.

I just accidentally discovered that my N150's USB-C port also supports video output, and it works perfectly on Linux.
Not only that, but over Type-C it drives my monitor at 120 Hz, whereas over HDMI it's limited to 60 Hz. I had no idea!
Don't get me wrong I love #Linux I love most of the various distros, i've used them all, they're all great and whatever you use is the right one (except Ubuntu).
but now I've dove deep into the #BSD world....Sorry I kinda like it better. it's more fun. Sure it's behind, it has it's quirks but it's just...it's interesting.
Honeslty at the end of the day use what you want. But I will tell you once you escape the Microsoft ecosystem computing becomes fun again. Computing takes you back to the late 90s when everything was new and interesting. Leaving Microsoft made me fall in love with Computers again.
Firefox on Kubuntu recently lost sound (audio output – input is OK, at a glance).
Anyone else? A regression with an update to 154.0 (64-bit) Snap for Ubuntu, maybe?
Pages that are silent in Firefox are audible in Microsoft Edge.
I have sought a bug in a few places, but not yet in Reddit. I'm unashamedly lazy at the moment (trying to prioritise other things). TIA for any help.

Hi Mastodon! 👋 As a developer of Parch Linux (https://parchlinux.com), I need some advice. Does anyone know how DistroWatch tracks updates, or how to properly reach out to Linux news sites? It's FOSS reviewed us once, but we’ve made massive changes since: new custom tools, a rewritten installer UI, and more!
Tomorrow marks our 5th anniversary! 🎉 But despite publishing our updates, we're facing total radio silence. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but after 5 years, it honestly feels like a media boycott simply because of our project's origin (Iran). I didn't choose my nationality, and despite heavy restrictions, our team has built something we're proud of.
We even have Server and Mobile editions in active development, yet the mobile efforts seem ignored even here among FOSS enthusiasts.
How can we break this silence? Any advice is appreciated! 🐧❤️

After Bluesky, Threads, and so on, the whole #WSocial thing is another reminder that it was never about the #Fediverse being "too complicated" or "just for nerds".
A bafflingly large amount of people genuinely only act on a gut feeling telling them that only commercial products with fancy marketing owned by a for-profit corporation can be trustworthy, 'official' and 'legal', for the lack of a better word.
If something is a commercial offering by a competent-looking, rich family man in a suit, it's clearly an official, legal, trustworthy product. You can be proud of using such a fancy-looking service.
When they see a community-run open-source project or a grassroots initiative, their first instinct is that it must be shady, illegal, complicated, broken or predatory in some way. It's probably some aftermarket grey area bootleg made by weird tech nerds, political groups with an ulterior motive, conspiracy theorists or some naive teenage hackers. They'd also be embarrassed for using it in front of their peers and neighbours; who uses some free back-alley software, are you poor or something?
The same people are the reason why Google is using the word 'sideloading', why scammers love wearing fancy suits, why people suddenly act childishly helpless in front of LibreOffice, or why DIY HRT is so demonised.
They trust any kind of 'official approval' over their own senses. If someone does something that isn't 'approved', they're a bad person or clearly endangering themselves and others. No idea why exactly, but psh, it must be wrong somehow, or everyone would do it, right?
If people on the Fediverse understood that the whole "it's all so complicated and clunky" thing is just a thinly veiled excuse for a general disdain for non-commercial software, we could finally stop making all our software imitate their corporate equivalents in a futile attempt to appease people who never gave us a chance in the first place.
You'll never convince them to treat it in good faith no matter how much effort or money you put into UX or 'ease of use'. All you're doing is making the software worse, e. g. through things like dot-social, verified accounts or begging brands, corporations and politicians to join and give your product some kind of 'official' validation.
Static Web Hosting on the Intel N150: FreeBSD, SmartOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD and Linux Compared

This Isn't a Battle
After reading a post describing the FreeBSD community as 'toxic', I share a different perspective. This isn't a battle. It's a reflection on coexistence, the original Open Source spirit, and the quiet richness of taking a different path.

UPDATE: I haven't seen Recall in action there. I was just asking the doctor how they'll deal with it.
This morning, I went to the doctor for a scheduled appointment. While she was looking at the results of blood tests from two years ago on the screen (and suggested repeating them for a follow-up), I realized she was using Windows 11. A detail came to mind. The doctor is extremely polite and friendly, so I asked her, "How do you handle the feature called Recall?" The doctor was taken aback and had no idea what I was talking about. I was about to drop the conversation, but she, being a serious professional, immediately called the technicians who manage their PCs to ask for clarification. They downplayed it, saying it's not an issue and that it's a feature "on all PCs, so we can't do anything about it." She started to express that she didn’t like it and wanted it deactivated. No luck: they won’t proceed because, according to them, even deactivating it is "a hack that could compromise future updates." She’s furious and will talk to her colleagues and the decision-makers. She wants secure systems because "there’s patient data involved."
In reality, patient data is stored on servers (which I haven't investigated), but everything that appears on the screen is, in my opinion, at risk.
I’ve offered to help them find a solution—because, if I'm right, all they need is LibreOffice and a browser. In that case, I’ll suggest one of the *BSD or Linux systems and do it for free.
I don’t want to make money off my doctor. I just want patient data to be (sufficiently) secure.

If you are thinking of moving from Windows to Linux and are not sure where to start, here's the software that I am using day to day:
https://decoded.legal/blog/2024/09/running-a-law-firm-on-free-software-2024-edition/
(Work-focus, as that is where I spend most of my (computing) time, but I am Linux-only for personal computing too.)
And don't forget that many Free software programs have Windows versions too, so you can test before you leap.
Good luck!
