TuxTuxđđ§ââïžHab eben nen tollen Hashtag entdeckt... anlĂ€sslich der geplanten "Hardware-Verschrottungs-Aktion" namens #Windows11
Darum jetzt ĂŒber #Linux nachdenken, anstatt #Elektroschrott zu produzieren. đ

Diese #Petition fordert, dass die #EU ein freies, unabhÀngiges #Linux basiertes Betriebssystem verwendet. #DesktopOS und #MobilOS:

Ian K TindaleIâm mainly macOS and have been Mac entrenched since they came out (I have a 1984 one rotting in the attic) but I do use linux, a lot during the early 2000s, less so since but always had a linux machine running eg ubuntu and more recently Raspberry Pi OS (on my Raspberry Pi 400, my remaining linux computer until the past few weeks)
Now Iâm trying out many Linuxes on a decade-old MacBook Pro A1502
None of them handle being installed to an external thunderbolt SSD very well, many of them don't work the next day.
Of the bunch I think the most usable so far is EndeavourOS (which is Arch based). Iâm mostly used to Gnome but now this is KDE Plasma, which is new to me, and I think I can get used to it but itâs a bit technical in places.
Anyway the point of this post â lots has changed since the time I used to use a non Raspberry Pi OS linux, and lots hasnât
# What hasnât changed and bloody well should have by now
Passwords â why am I still unable to see my own fucking password, thereâs nobody else in the house, my wife doesnât care about seeing my own password if sheâs passing by (she doesnât care about computers full stop), seriously, this utterly stupid paranoia about evil people being nearby and seeing my password every single fucking time I type my password in and after several attempts, getting it probably correct, is infuriating â itâs my fucking computer, in my fucking house, thereâs nobody here but me, just show me what Iâm trying to fucking type in normal actual letters, itâs perfectly safe, just fucking do it â fucking do it â do it
# What has changed and whereâs it gone
I canât âshareâ (stupid word) a folder from one machine to another â nothing is working like it used to, a decade and a half ago the linux computers I had needed a tedious and illogically confusing error-inducing page of samba configuration, then about a decade ago they all got better at that and it just worked
Now it not only doesnât work, thereâs pretty much no working samba there at all so why canât a modern linux on a computer I own just make available a folder (or my entire home folder) to another computer I own in my own fucking house â the only way is to copy things onto a usb stick now, and this is idiotic, it was better a decade ago
