Outside of this I am a Psychology and Counselling student with The Open University. I'm also a researcher, writer and avid reader.

My new #MicroSD card has just arrived. This will, hopefully, make flashing distros to my #PinebookPro much easier. πŸ™‚

I know 128GB is overkill, but I'll probably find a use for that. πŸ€”

Question! Why should local governments use taxpayers’ money to buy proprietary, closed software from a single vendor? And what happens to citizens' data? A solution is to move to free and open source software like #Linux and #LibreOffice – which is exactly what Schleswig-Holstein is doing: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/04/04/german-state-moving-30000-pcs-to-libreoffice/ #foss #OpenSource #privacy

Following a successful pilot project, the northern German federal state of Schleswig-Holstein has decided to move from Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office to Linux and LibreOffice (and other free and open source software) on the 30,000 PCs used in the local government.

Just ordered a MicroSD card, which should be here by Monday. Though that'll be my weekend project, if it's here by Friday. πŸ™‚ πŸ™

Before I work on that, however, I need to figure out how to install #Armbian onto my #PineBookPro?! From what I understand, it's a lot different than the usual way I install distros! πŸ€”

I have an old machine that I'd like to revitalise as my work from home device, that I haven't used for a while, especially for meetings.

Got my first true #KDENeon issue to try and fix. My external monitor wakes up just fine, when waking my laptop from sleep, yet the internal monitor is completely black. This will be a test of my research and technical ability. πŸ€”

Been configuring my new #KDENeon installation, on my #Entroware Athena! πŸ™‚

I wanted to give this a try, as a way to experience #Plasma6 as the @kde devs intended.

I have Pop installed on my main machine and it’s started to become too full of junk. As I am seriously thinking of trying another distro, till Cosmic is production ready, I am wondering which stable distro would you recommend?

#Linux

Just removed #Grammarly from my browser. This is due to the fact that, while they kept saying I've made grammatical errors, that I'd have to pay them money to show me how to correct those errors. 😠

Can anyone recommend me, please, any viable alternative? One that's #OpenSource, if at all possible!

Does your list match ours? come find out. Friday at noon eastern!
