Pleeaaasssee get kernel 6.14 in, or at least to Backports. I’ve been doing work to support the new dual screen Zenbook Pro in Linux, and I’m having to do it with Ubuntu 25.10 because Backports only goes to 6.13. Though my trusty remove-snap script still works.

fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•Progress update on the Ventoy blob problemEnglish2·20 days agoOne boot USB to rule them all. Just copy ISOs to it, and boot to a menu of ISOs.
Switched from Ubuntu to Debian this year. With one extra GNOME package install, its basically the same without snaps, so perfect for me.
@trk@aussie.zone @ing since you mentioned Ubuntu. I also switched from Ubuntu Server to Debian for the servers, too.

fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•What was your first Linux distribution?English2·26 days agoSlackware in the early mid-nineties. But of course there was other Unix variants before that. And what was it called, OS/2 or something like that?

You can point Immich to your photo uploads as an external library, too. Then make a cron job to rescan regularly.
That being said, I now have my old photos as external libraries and new stuff directly in Immich. After using it a while, I realized that it’s just that good.

fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•A big part of learning Linux is screwing up computers and starting over.English2·2 months agoEvery time I install or configure anything, it’s done via CLI and added to a script. Makes setup a breeze.
What? There are hundreds of thousands of FOSS projects with great presentation. GIMP is the exception these days, not the rule.
I make tons of aliases. For instance my quick “got log” and “git log <branch[SS]>”:
alias gl="git log --graph --abbrev-commit --no-decorate --date=format:'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' --format=format:'%C(8)%>|(16)%h %C(7)%ad %C(8)%<(16,trunc)%an %C(auto)%d %>|(1)%s' --all" alias glb="git log --graph --abbrev-commit --no-decorate --date=format:'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' --format=format:'%C(8)%>|(16)%h %C(7)%ad %C(8)%<(16,trunc)%an %C(auto)%d %>|(1)%s'"

I highly recommend reading the linked email, as it is both short and has valuable context.
fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•After almost half a century, I'm still doing it...English3·3 months agoYea, it was a really fun project to make back before there were any real options. And I’m glad the PiKVM team could expand upon it.
Somewhere along the way I lost the “based on” credit, likely whenever they fully modernized the stack. I wasn’t really keeping track, but did find it humorous when LTT said the creator complained someone based another project on them. I was like “Hmmmmmmm…” but just laughed because I didn’t make it for it to stagnate like it had been with me.
fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•After almost half a century, I'm still doing it...English3·3 months agoYup, I use PiKVM, too. Fun fact, PiKVM’s first content commit is a clone of my DIY IPMI repo 😉
Look, it’s’a me: https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm/commit/70eebd5c59da26dc3f6ad56730adbb616055f4e5#diff-b335630551682c19a781afebcf4d07bf978fb1f8ac04c6bf87428ed5106870f5R4

You clearly contribute to FOSS, which is fantastic, and while I and many others agree with you, someone who posted a comment about FSFE probably doesn’t need a novel on post-Stallman terminology…
I hadn’t considered Trixie. Regular Backports is at 6.13, is Trixie ar 6.14?
