  • Which distro would you install on a celeron 2gb ram laptop for a lay person to use?

    Jump

  • Fedora.

    It seems to be easy to manage and fast to install.

    SUSE is slow to run and self-update.

    Debian is far behind and Ubuntu seems to always have an issue during or right after installation.

  • Newbie Post: I have gone "all-in" with Linux Mint 22.1, wiping Windows completely. All good...with two nagging problems.

  • I don’t understand why Mint is chosen by people.

  • Forgejo v10.0 is available [git]

    Jump

  • Gogs is what became Gitea, is what became Forgejo. The fork history is a bit complicated.

    But if Gogs works for you, no need to change.

    I just run into a problem of Gogs not working well in Podman containers. I looked at Forgejo and it appears to have rootful and rootless setup configurations in docker. Gogs run well for me as a native Arch Linux service, but not so well under containers.

  • Linux distro for 14* year old laptop?

    Jump

  • 2 years old need to learn interaction with other people.

    That’s how they learn language.

    So, spend time with them, not the screen. Screen time will come by itself.

    In fact there’s data of development delays if kids are exposed to screen at early ages. That is because our eyes like movement, but screen picture doesn’t provide meaningful world context. Especially games.

    Only personal interaction gives words in meaningful action context.

    My wife is speech pathologist, so I am sharing what I wax told.

    We have a friend, who didn’t listen to no screen time. Kid is delayed in development. It is serious staff and yet so simple to prevent.

    Give your kids all the time you can in 1st several years.

  • I used Arch for years, but found that I got everything at the same speed from Fedora for fraction of effort.

  • There are more topics to cover than just encryption. Less on encryption, more on other topics.

    Is it p2p or server model? I happen to lookup and it seems to be server as intermediary.

    Is server side open sourced? Who is running servers? How does client choose the server to connect to? if hop server is tracking data, what will it see?

    With all that end address obfuscation, how user friendly is establishing a connection with a friend?

  • SSDs die suddenly.

  • Resume from suspend no GPU output I have any DE running

  • I use kvm switch and run into this issue.

    I am currently on Fedora 41, Gnome. I’ve seen this issue when running Arch on the same hardware without kvm switch to the point that I disabled suspend.

    The fix for me is Ctrl-Alt-F1. It simply brings display manager’s login screen. Gnome on Fedora 41 uses gdm.

    The rationale here is simple: the display manager should be resetting screen to display login screen.

  • [rant] everytime i give it a chance, btrfs lets me down

    Jump

  • I switched to XFS.

    The most important feature to me is support for file deduction which is supported by XFS through reflink. BTRFS supports reflinks as well.

    Snapshot in BTRFS seems like the most desirable feature, but in real life I ended up not using it.

    I usually prefer drive mirror setup, but it can give its own headaches.

    These days I simply have 2 disks and nightly rsync job copies content of one drive to another. This protects from drive failure.

    Rclone job sends most important data to offsite backup.

    The biggest loss is missing data checksums, but it is a unique feature of BTRFS that most filesystems manage without.

    I don’t have setup to expand partition beyond one drive. It comes with its own headache. I simply use large enough disks.

  • He was running long installation process from command line and lock warning was probably appropriate.

  • He was probably supposed to mark downloaded .run file executable. Instead he went to collect errors.

  • ~/projs

    I like ~/w or ~/p options

  • Linux Sys Admins, do you work on Linux or Windows office laptops?

    Jump

  • Vscode is installed on windows. Then you install vscode ssh plugin from Microsoft and open ssh connection from vscode to any Linux including WSL hosted Linux.

  • I am a software developer and work on Kubernetes based project.

    I was given a Mac laptop when I joined. It was a few OS releases behind, because corporate IT didn’t support newer versions.

    Macs have to run some sort of VM to do docker based development.

    VMs are not that great.

    When time came, I requested a Windows laptop. I installed Debian on WSL 2. Then got it to run systemd properly and installed Docker on WSL. Then vscode on windows host with remote ssh into WSL.

    Vscode ssh integration is probably best least known feature of vscode. However, initial connection setup always requires tweaking to get that best experience.

    By the way, official docker setup is through VM on windows. WSL is not a recommended route, but one can get it working.

    This setup beats Mac any day for me.

    I wish I could run Linux on work laptop, but corporate IT doesn’t know how to deal with it.

  • Corporate support for Macs is usually worth than on Windows.

    It is a very risky move.

  • Fedora atomic or not is nice.

    I got tired of manually installing Arch and was pleased with Fedora the most.
