I have no idea how this site works. Complete muppet. But always keen to hear people talk with kindness and expertise on #Auspol #linux #basketball and anything else. Feel free to explain Masterdon to me like I'm 5, because I set up an account when Twitter died and then have mostly bluesky'd.

There is a subtle, almost sadistic pleasure in what I’m doing right now: I open boxes of brand-new ThinkCentre PCs, unpack them, hook them up to a monitor, keyboard, and network cable. I boot from USB and replace the preinstalled Windows 11 (never even started) with my Debian 13 golden image, using Clonezilla.

As of today, the setup is based on Debian 13, but I’m already working on a variant based on FreeBSD and jails.

Haack's Networking

The PubGLUG Nextcloud is live and open for registration. All accounts are manually approved and users must be 18 years of age and/or older. This instance is a community effort and part of the greater set of offerings that Haack's Networking provides.

🔗 The PubGLUG Nextcloud: https://cloud.gnulinux.vip
🔗 All PubGLUG Services: https://haacksnetworking.dev

It is my hope that in offering a community Nextcloud with open and moderated registration ... that this will result in more users choosing #selfhosted and/or #floss offerings for groupware (contacts, calendars, etc.). Those interested in setup notes and/or seeking assistance are encouraged to come chat on Matrix (link above). This instance has the following features:

▶️ Server-side encryption ensures that content on External Storage will be encrypted whether users set it up or not
↪️ E2E encryption provides users an easy way to use the Nextcloud sync client to create shares that even the sysadmin cannot see
💾 Users are given 50GB of storage from a large btrfs platter-based pool; users may request more in DMs with valid use-cases; users may attach their own external storage.
🔦 This instance is designed to assist in pulling people off iCloud, Google, etc. and teach/persuade them how to self-host NC themselves

✨️This is early registration. Some policies are not yet finished, some bugs remain, and we might find that some things don't work. Please be patient. With that said, feel free to sign up and let me know when you've joined. We are at the mall all day, but I've got access for approvals on the phone.

> Linux didn't win the way anyone expected. There was no dramatic moment where Ubuntu overtook Windows on the desktop. No press conference. No champagne. Linux won the way open source always wins — gradually, relentlessly, by being better at the things that matter most to the people building the future.

Hi friends, I could use your input!
My mom has asked me to install Linux on her laptop, which distro should I pick?

- Dell Latitude 7320 Intel Core i7-Gen 11 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD
- Has to be stable, good hardware support
- Sysadmin tasks will be performed (remotely) by me, so doesn't have to be "beginner friendly" per se in that area (she won't be added to the wheel group 😅)
- Support for Xfce desktop (I guess most distros have that)
- Ideally support for encrypted root on ZFS

No: Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL (or derivatives) please.

Given my recent fascination, I'd go with FreeBSD, but I'm afraid the hardware support isn't quite there yet. Voting and boosts are appreciated!

What should I pick?
