So, I'm facing a weird issue with my #fedora workstation. The filesystem goes "read-only" at random times and I dont know why. I've do a reboot to fix it. Do you have any idea about this and how to fix it ?

My week with Linux: I'm dumping Windows … to see how it goes | Tom's Hardware
#FOSS is all about options:
- I chose not to use #RedHat systems 28 years ago.
- I chose not te use #GNOME 15 years ago
- I chose not to use #SystemD 6 years ago.
- I choose to accelerate the migration of all the #Linux based systems I can to #BSD systems because:
- I choose to keep up with the #UNIX way
- I choose to use stable systems which don't change for the sake of change
- I choose to be part of healthier communities, that don't promote monoculture or fall so easily into arrogance

#Forgejo, #NextCloud, #Phanpy and #BSSG updated. New Icons set and Cursor theme in #Gnome. #Snikket server cleaned.
It was a good day.

hey everyone,
you may have guessed reading between the lines, but I lost my job in the recent tech layoffs…
also burnt out and realised I need to go back to working on stuff I care about.
I hope to gather enough small monthly sponsors to at least cover the bills, so I can:
- 🖥️ create beautiful apps for #Linux / #GNOME
- ✏️ provide free #design support to #OpenSource projects
if you like my work, please consider $1/month to make this possible?
thank you. :)

#Nextcloud Desktop is working perfectly as a sync client between my #Bluefin (#GNOME) Linux desktop and https://thegood.cloud.
Presenting Fedora Linux 44!
This release brings @gnome 50, @kde Plasma 6.6, tweaks to the Anaconda installer, and more!
Thank you to all of the contributors for another successful release. We hope you enjoy it!
I made some progress on solving my graphics issues for #Electron apps on #Flatpak in #Debian 13 with #GNOME and #Wayland on my 2011 #iMac 27-inch:
Note: All of these problems also go away in an X11 session, but that breaks suspend/resume on this iMac, so I'm committed to staying in Wayland.
More details when I do a post on this.
- For Spotify, turning off GPU acceleration in Flatseal
- For Signal, copy the contents of the
.desktopfile into a new .desktop file in the local directory where those go, and modify theexecline to add--disable-gpu
Note: All of these problems also go away in an X11 session, but that breaks suspend/resume on this iMac, so I'm committed to staying in Wayland.

Project #Bluefin just revved to #Fedora 44 and #GNOME 50. Now's a good time to jump into the immutable/atomic Linux pool. Bluefin is a lot more forward thinking than I am. That's one of the reasons I've stuck with it this year. Calling Bluefin #Silverblue with a whole lot of batteries included wouldn't be wrong. So many batteries -- but most are optional. @jorge@hachyderm.io wrote a bunch of blog posts on it. Start here: https://docs.projectbluefin.io/blog/bluefin-spring-2026/

After some reflection... I've decided to stick with #ubuntu for another two years and have upgraded all my machines (3 desktops, 4 servers) to 26.04 by doing:
$ sudo do-release-upgrade -d
On the desktop side, things went pretty smoothly and I only had to do the following after the update completed:
1. Resolve some configuration file conflicts, notably rsnapshot, nginx, and grub. For these, mostly used vimdiff afterwards to merge the maintainer's version into the local file.
2. Update apt sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d. During upgraded, all third party repos are disabled and so afterwards, I had to go and re-enable or update them. Fortunately, I only had a few: google (chrome), steam, and weechat.
3. After updating, Ubuntu pro was not enabled for some reason (though I was enrolled and registered). To fix this, I did: "sudo pro enable livepatch" which also enabled the ESM repos.
That said, not everything was perfect:
1. On my laptop with a 1080p LCD, the default scaling was set to 125% instead of 100% due to it being a smaller screen (14in physically). I did not appreciate this... but I think once you set it to 100% it will be remembered.
2. The OSD for switching inputs is too small and so the text is truncated as shown in the video
3. Epiphany (aka #gnome web) was only version 49 and the font rendering was... blurry. Because of this, I switched back to #firefox (crazy I know) both on the desktop and mobile.
4. I am not a fan of the new default terminal ptyxis, so I installed #ghostty and am using that instead. My issues with ptyxis is that the window decoration does not follow the default color scheme and that it tries to do a bit too much. I did make a custom palette for ptyxis but it still did not behave right (ie. dimming), so I'm just using #ghostty (despite it having a bug with opening off centered with custom window width/height).
On the server side, the upgrades appeared to be fine... until I realized things were not working. In particular a few services stopped working due to #apparmor
1. I had to write a custom apparmor profile for mbsync as shown below.
2. For wireguard and znc, I could not figure out how to write an appropriate apparmor profile, so I installed apparmor-utils and then did "sudo aa-complain" on the corresponding apparmor profiles to put them in complain mode (ie. audit but don't enforce)
I think this last part (the stricter apparmor profiles) will probably bite a lot of people... particularly if you tend to use custom file locations for data and configs, so be warned!
Despite these hiccups, things appear to be running smoothly for now... :}

I'm proud to release my first public app for #GNOME: Stencil, a powerful file renaming utility. Written in Rust and using #GTK4 / #libadwaita. I'm going to put it onto Flathub eventually, for now grab the flatpak from the Releases page and install manually. Let me know what you think. Contributions and improvement suggestions are very welcome! Get Stencil on its Codeberg repo: https://codeberg.org/fouquet/Stencil
#Stencil, my file renaming utility for #GNOME, is now available on #Flathub! Get it while it's hot.

Okay, hi everyone
This weekend, after a random toot from @alice in my TL, I found myself in a rabbit hole to enhance and create an iOS 6 theme for GTK4. It's not much, it has some rough edges, but damn it looks so cool, and I'm so proud of this!!
If you wanna help with design or add icons, please feel free to do so!

🌗 GNOME 50 劃下句點：X11 時代終結，Wayland 邁入新紀元
➤ 告別 X11，迎接 Wayland：GNOME 50 帶來桌面顯示技術的重大變革
✤ https://linuxiac.com/gnome-50-ends-the-x11-era-after-decades/
GNOME 50 版本標誌著 X11 顯示伺服器的時代正式結束，GNOME 專案在歷經漫長的演進後，已完全遷移至 Wayland 作為預設的顯示協定。雖然 X11 核心程式碼已從 Mutter 和 GNOME Shell 中移除，但透過 XWayland 相容層，傳統 X11 應用程式仍可在 Wayland 環境下運作。此舉讓 GNOME 團隊能更專注於 Wayland 特有的功能開發，如 HDR、色彩管理和輸入處理等，預計將為使用者帶來更佳的桌面體驗。
+ 標題有點誤導，GNOME 50 並不能結束整個 X11 時代，GNOME 的影響力也不是那麼廣泛，它頂多隻能結束 GNOME 自己對 X11 的支援。
+ Wayland 終於要成為主
