Tjek gerne min lyd-dokumentar FåRk The System ud. Den handler om Fri software, som et bud på en løsning til nogle af den digitale verdens problemstillinger. Og om at det slet ikke er så svært at have med at gøre, som man måske kunne tro.

If you do NOT currently use a desktop #Linux OS but are curious (or hesitant) about it: what questions or concerns do you have?
I built my own computer from scratch just so I could install Arch #Linux. It took me three days to get the WiFi working, but the sense of accomplishment was totally worth it.
When you start learning Linux commands and realize that the best resource is the man page. 😌
Apparently someone can't say "Linux" without getting a lecture about "No, it's GNU/Linux, you stupid!"
And people wonder why Linux is only at ~5% market share on Desktop...
It's all about how welcome you feel: If you feel like you've just "invaded" someone's "holy place", then this doesn't feel so welcome, does it!?
#Linux mavens, I need your help!
I’m an inveterate Apple user since 1979 … got my first Mac two weeks after release in 1984.
My studio runs on Mac, and that’s not going to change … but I would love a dedicated laptop to leap wholeheartedly into open source computing.
I’m looking for recommendations on hardware and distro, Linux-newbie friendly, future-compatible, powerful yet still affordable.
Don’t need Windows or Mac for this – I want to discover a new world. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I managed to run OpenWrt on my Xbox 360.
(EDIT: For those who don't know, OpenWrt is an open-source operating system for network routers. In theory, it might also be possible to use an Xbox 360 as a Wi-Fi access point.)
I have an old chromebook that I want to de-google. I need the friendliest easiest OS that will just fucking work (my issue with using anything Linux in the past has been inability to get it to connect to wifi or printers, and like dudes, I need that basic computer function!). Not a coder. Dont want to deal with command lines or writing things into kernels or whatever the lingo is.
So, dude-bros and sassy- lasses of Linux, what do I use? Talk to me like Im your 80 year old grandma trying to do this on her own. And if you cant reply kindly then fuckoff because Im not dealing with meangirls. (I know theres plenty of kind folk in these spaces but the rude as goose people sure talk over everyone else!! My banhammer is ready!)
I'm over 45 years old, live near #Tours in France, a dad of 2 kids, one with #FOXP1 syndrome.
I'm thirsty for knowledge, passionate about science and technology in all disciplines.
I try to take photos 🤣.
Aware that infinite growth isn't compatible with a finite world.
First contact with computing in the 80s: Logo on TO7…
I've been working as a #sysadmin #Linux, #Debian for over 20 years 👴.

Linux desktop voice control has a gap. Talon costs money. Other tools are X11-only or cloud-dependent.
So I built EasySpeak.

Kaidan 0.10.1 was released. This version brings media sharing and new message marker fixes.
Kaidan is a user-friendly and modern chat app for every device. It uses the open communication protocol XMPP (Jabber). Unlike other chat apps, you are not dependent on one specific service provider.

If you have a potentially (probably) dying SSD with BTRFS on it, would you rather:
1. Try to copy out data first
2. Try to use BTRFS repair utilities first, and then try to copy data
For reference this is from a used Thinkpad X390 which lately has been running extremely slowly and now not being able to boot properly (not reaching login screen). btrfs check found some errors (but FS was in use), UEFI diagnostic found no errors with the disk nor other hardware.
