I found out what broke my system some weeks ago... /etc/grub.d/00_header contains non-POSIX compliant "function" keyword, and for some reason the files in /etc/grub.d were concatenated and replaced my /etc/default/grub, which caused the #grub reconfiguration to fail after a kernel update! Because #VoidLinux uses the dash shell by default, and for some reason that 00_header script, owned by the grub package, is written for #bash apparently.
I don't even know who to report this to, is it even a bug? A bug in GRUB2, perhaps? Or should Void packages be the ones to handle this? Why was my /etc/default/grub replaced in the first place (perhaps its something to do with #snapper??)

Anyway, the temporary(?) solution I've found is to copy someone's /etc/default/grub file from #AskUbuntu: https://askubuntu.com/a/829325

They had the same issue as me 9 years ago, but it was never explained, and I think I may have figured it out now. IIRC, Ubuntu also uses the dash shell.

[Hello #Linux J0] Presque trop facile... Le plus long a été de tout sauvegarder / recopier sur disque dur externe.

Bon ma carte wifi n'a pas suivi (Intel wireless 8265/8275 v.78). J'ai bien trouvé ça https://askubuntu.com/questions/1546725/intel-wireless-ac-8265-wifi-not-working-in-ubuntu-24-04-2 mais pas moyen d'écraser le fichier qui existe (répertoire lib/firmware en lecture seule). Une idée ? #askubuntu #ubuntu #help #aideubuntu

Update : carte wifi détectée au redémarrage ce matin ! 

#Linux users seem to love their #terminal. Yesterday I installed #ubuntu on an old Mac mini. Problem, as usual: #Drivers. So I searched the web. #askubuntu, #superuser, … all the typical places. Lengthy articles, all starting with: sudo apt update, sudo apt upgrade.
Sometimes I believe, when you ask a Linux specialists where to get a coffe you will get this answer too…. :-) SCNR
After some more digging and getting to used to the tools, I opened the update tool, additional drivers, found the missing #Broadcom, clicked, waited. Done. No reboot. No Terminal.

Additionally: Yesterday I went to an #Apple #Store with a mac issue (old MBP Intel). Went there, 30 min later fixed at no cost.
Where would I bring my Linux computer? Need the internet. There: sudo apt update, sudo apt upgrade …

If anybody has enough reputation on askubuntu to write a reply (I have not) please consider to add the following annotation to https://askubuntu.com/a/1541428/2200540

The line

> find ${DESTDIR} -name thunderbolt\* -delete

is dangerous because it will delete all files starting with thunderbold if DESTDIR is unset or empty.

It should at least be put in quotes to make find complain about a missing file:

> find "${DESTDIR}" -name thunderbolt\* -delete

Was there some TV show or comic book in the last 10 years that pimped #KaliLinux as a sexy OS to use?

I still poke my head into #AskUbuntu, and almost everyday there is some poor...user trying to install & configure it like a "normal" OS.

It breaks my brain & I feel that I am missing out on some meme.

@ColetteDiskette no, because those have dedicaded, beginner-friendly communities.

Hints towards #AskUbuntu and #UbuntuUsers aside, the #ArchWiki sometimes has better #documentation on #Windows than #Microsoft itself.

I.e. "How do I force #SystemClock to remain #Unixtime and not have Windows fuck around with local time?"

Recently I needed to use #passkeys. Both #chrome / #chromium and #firefox on #linux need usb security key (or a phone with google services). I checked whether #bitwarden browser extensions would do. TBH, it wasn't clear from the docs if you can create a passkey with them.

I tried it, worked. While researching, I found this #askubuntu #stackoverflow question: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1437604/does-ubuntu-support-passkeys-like-apple-google-and-microsoft-do. I answered, the way I'd like to find it. Moderators thought my "solution" is not good enough. What do you think?
