I would recommend no one doing this, but I like to really kick the tires...

Install Lubuntu 24.04
Upgrade to Lubuntu 25.10

Now you have a X11 LXQT ubuntu 25.10 desktop.

Install kde-plasma to get your wayland on.

Then install Waydroid.

Been a while since I did full distro upgrades in situ.

Went fine. Well sort of, KDE-Partition manager never managed a partition correctly even once. Gparted worked after testdisk repaired it, otherwise without a hitch

Note: always just wipe the NTFS drive.

Ok Now 2 days later I am actually even more Windows Free as I had a hell of a time reusing the NTFS partitions properly depending on the app. So swapped the data and killed it, expanded the base partition and viola NTFS and several more hassles free.

A new week has begun, and 2025 is getting closer to its end. The question we should all ask ourselves is this: what have we done, and what can we do, to make the Fediverse a better place?

The Fediverse is for everyone. The Fediverse belongs to everyone. We should not wait for someone else to do something. We can start ourselves.

- Follow people who post content that interests you. You do not always have to agree. Constructive disagreement helps us grow.

- Always remain respectful and civil. This is what can make the difference between the Fediverse and social platforms that profit from anger. Let us make it a place we want to go, not a place we feel forced to go just to prove someone wrong.

- Make it a better place for yourself. Our timelines are exactly what we choose them to be. This takes a bit more effort, but the result will be far more satisfying.

- Help administrators identify problems. Pointless criticism is useless. Doing your part, on the other hand, is priceless.

- Boost what you believe is worth boosting. That is how things spread. If quote posts are available, explain why you shared something. You can also share content you disagree with, if you think it may be interesting for the people who follow you.

- Do not approach people coming from other platforms with closure or arrogance. It takes time to understand and adapt. Acting like schoolteachers helps no one.

- The Fediverse belongs to everyone, therefore it belongs to no one. If you run your own personal instance, that is your kingdom, but you could be defederated by everyone and end up alone. If that is your goal, fine. Otherwise, remember that federation is, at the same time, an honor, a responsibility, and a privilege.

- Have fun. Grow. Live. The Fediverse is an extension of your life.

If you have questions, ask. You will find many people who will be more than happy to answer.

And to you, who are reading this, thank you for being here.

’Twas The Distance (Cake “The Distance” Parody)

YouTube

I don't "make Linux and FOSS work for me." Years ago, I *chose* to work with Linux and FOSS.

I just switched, and if things required Windows or a Mac, I didn't do those things. I did other things instead.

My priorities welcomed that choice. Yours might not. That's OK! But it doesn't mean Linux can't do it.

It'd be like saying "my bicycle can't haul a tractor, therefore bicycles are worthless." You'd sound absurd. That's what they do. Because rage sells.

I want to buy Phil Tippet a Ray Harryhausen memorial copy.
