Ever feel like Microsoft was plotting a grand escape plan for you? 🤔 "Switch to Linux," they said. "It'll be fun," they said! 🐧 Now, I’m navigating this wild open-source jungle, and let me tell you, it’s a whole new world! 🌍✨ Who knew the command line could be so... *invigorating*? Whether you're a seasoned penguin or just dipping your toes, let's bond over our newfound freedom! #LinuxAdventures #TechTwists

ContentPulse - What Should You Create Today?

So today's installment of #LinuxAdventures was interesting - I had to install a piece of software manually following a Python script, because for some reason sudo read $HOME and understood /root so obviously there were permission issues everywhere. I wasn't even running the script as root. What
Trying now to boot from an SD card which is inserted in a card reader which is connected to my USB port via USB-Mini-B to USB-A cable. I'm excited 😅😁 #linuxadventures

Welp, I re-installed everything two times more. 😬

First trying a Fedora Mac ISO which didn't work quite right.

Then I used the https://t2linux.org ISO and this worked perfectly. Everything - including the TouchBar(!) - is now working! 🎉

The #canon #laserprinter #LBP2900 doesn't like #linux

- the 64 bit driver doesn't work by itself: a lot of magic is required, including installing the 32 bit driver
- the 32 bit driver won't install on Ubuntu 22.04 due to non-solvable dependencies.

Enter #docker .

I'm using a #32bit #ubuntu_18 docker image as a base, installing the 32 bit Canon driver there, and using a modded CUPS configuration based on https://github.com/anujdatar/cups-docker/blob/main/Dockerfile

Schwiegervater kann nun endlich eID - auf Fedora XFCE und trotz diverser Fallstricke: Der 20-Euro-Cardreader und Open eCard machen es möglich. Die (ältere) RPM-Version der AusweisApp2 meldete Fehler, da sie sich nicht (mehr!) mit dem Server verständigen kann. Die Flatpak-Fassung probieren wir dann das nächste Mal. #linuxadventures #eid #digitalisierung

Hi, and thank you for letting me try this instance! I'm not new to #mastodon, but I appreciate that not everyone who follows my general account will want to here all about my #linuxAdventures.

I only recently switched to #linuxDesktop recently, but i've been using #ubuntu and #debian on servers for quite some time.

I can't wait to meet wonderful people in the #FOS world! #introduction #introductions
