It is pretty bad when even your server wants to install Snaps when using Ubuntu.
That is both pathetic and sad.
Here marks my end of support for Ubuntu, because I am not going to be dealing with what is becoming the Microsoft of Linux.

FLOSS #MaintainerLife public service advisory:
If you're filing a potential bug upstream in #GNOME, particularly on rapidly-improving apps like GNOME Calendar, please test the latest version, unmodified by third-parties. #Flatpak helps.
Don't come at me with a 4-years-old version cowboy-patched against our will by #Linux distros like Mint; I will send you downstream, like this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/1526#note_2640160

They have assumed that all operating systems are like Microsoft Windows 11, Android, or iOS; and have written legislation for operating systems where people download glorified WWW client 'apps', from 'stores', which use 'accounts' that they have with vendors or Microsoft/Google/Apple.
But the legislation *as worded* *also* covers everything from #Debian and #Ubuntu through #Arch Linux and #MobaXTerm to #FreeBSD and #NetBSD and #OpenBSD; where users anonymously use package managers or ports systems to install applications, written by developers, on operating systems, from 'publicly available internet website' repositories.
There is no age field in the GECOS data in master.passwd(5) of course, and the reality is that no BSD or Linux-based operating system has this concept of apps/stores/accounts.

Good morning Fedi friends! 🌈✨
Made it back to France and now I’m at my in laws’.
I forgot a wired keyboard at my parents’ in Italy and I only have a wireless keyboard and mouse with me, which were never paired to my Raspi. Mother-in-law came to my rescue and gave me an old wired mouse… and with #Ubuntu’s accessibility setting and on screen keyboard I was able to log in and connect my gear. Ouf!
Happy #Linux / #Raspi week to me (till I get home to Paris) 🐧
Now I had some powerful epiphanies yesterday, with my rickety Sharkey instance.
Sad to say that because it locked me out, and recovery codes aren’t working either, its fate is now sealed. I lost all trust in it and won’t spend any more precious time on it.
But this ONLY relates to my self-hosted Sharkey, which has been cursed from the start, not the software itself, which is WONDERFUL.
I’ll stop putting my energy on it and carry on with my plan (a quiet corner of the Fediverse) on @ruud’s calckey.world — which worked perfectly for me last year, when I was test driving Sharkey. Time to resurrect the account and set up monthly recurring donations.
Anyway, wishing you all a fantastic day!

What's the common wisdom regarding #Ubuntu #Linux and systemd-resolved, dnsmasq, and NetworkManager?
Had a weird thing happen where a #Wireguard tunnel didn't go up but DNS was still trying to connect to the DNS server over the WireGuard tunnel and was failing.
Is there any way to stop the DNS madness? It looks like they're both clobbering each other.
Das #Ubuntu-Projekt wird stolze 20 Jahre alt - ein guter Grund zu feiern! 2004 hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, ein Betriebssystem zu werden, das von allen benutzt werden kann und hat somit viel für die Verbreitung von #Linux auf dem Desktop getan. Neben der frühen Geschichte des Projekts besprechen wir auch zahlreiche Highlights vergangener Versionen, zwischenzeitlich vergessene Software und natürlich unsere persönlichen Anekdoten.
Really trying to install latest daily build of #ubuntu Studio Raccoon. It won’t install. I’ll give it a few more days and try another build.
¿Sabías que partiendo de poco más de 700€ puedes tener hoy un superportátil linuxero a tu medida y con autonomía para usarlo todo el día fuera de casa?
Bueno, y en casa también 😀
Y con la distro de Linux que quieras, o con Windows11 (sólo o con arranque dual) si todavía no has abandonado el sistema de Microsoft.
Y puedes elegir hasta el color (plata o negro).

The Snap Store needs to be better!
C'est parti pour une soirée/nuit de #selfHosting avec un bon démarrage : installation de #Ubuntu sur le nouveau SSD du #m720q .
L'idée, c'est ensuite d'activer l'accès à distance, pour être peinard, et installer via docker/portainer/dockhand tout ce dont j'ai besoin.
My week with Linux: I'm dumping Windows … to see how it goes | Tom's Hardware
The choice of which Linux distribution to use is not particularly important. However, selecting a distribution is always a necessary step for those new to Linux. In my opinion, #Ubuntu is still the best in terms of completeness of software and ecosystems.
Pretty great to see this (via @gombang)
Seems like #Linux has seen some significant (300%) growth since 2021. In that time, I've gone from using just #Windows + #ChromeOS to now running Linux (#Mint + #Ubuntu Cinnamon) my laptops.
