Brodie has a good read on the pulse of Linux, worth following if you want to keep up with linux news.

Fair enough.

Ça sera bientôt les vacances!

En effet. Bravo!

I get your meaning, but there are other “unpolluted” distros where the theming and arbitrary package selection is kept at a minimum. Debian comes to mind.

In fact, Fedora does take liberties with non-free drivers and configs for the sake of a sane and usable quality of life.

I’m not trying to start a pissing contest here, just highlighting that there’s a Linux for everyone, and that is the great thing about Linux.

I grew up en français, albeit in Canada. In our informatique classes, we had CSA standard layout keyboards (IBM, not Microsoft).

It’s essentially a QWERTY keyboard with built-in compose key modifier and silkscreened characters on the board for accented characters (capitals included). Not too bad to learn on, and considering that QWERTY would be so prevalent in my life, I think it’s a good compromise.

When I was in uni in the 90s and finally ran across an AZERTY keyboard, I literally couldn’t use it. Not only is layout different, but the character mod sequence makes no ergonomic sense to me.

NB: fun fact, y a pas de mots qui commencent en C cédille. C’est pas pour dire qu’on a pas besoin de majuscules cédillées. :)

NBB: ¤ is an end-of-cell marker, introduced at the advent of word processors to distinguish newline and carriage returns from the ends of cells in tables. Not sure if it had a meaning before then, but my memory is saying it had something to do with sub-paragraphs.

What do you mean by “least polluted”?

I’m not baiting you, I don’t grok what you mean.

I believe photoprism does its face recognition in the cloud, which is a dealbreaker for many.

Raspberry migrated away from x.org a number of months ago. You’ll need to install all the x and x forwarding components.

Docker isn’t required for automatic ripping machine. Theres a bare metal install.

I was just joking around, I hope you didn’t take it too personally. I’ve been hearing a lot of KDE enthusiasm lately.

And xfce is great, but it has its pitfalls.

I also get excited about projects, I’m no different.

I have a surface pro 6 and I love it.

You should, however, mention that the cameras do not work (yet), which makes this a no-go as a full laptop replacement.

Good stuff!

I just vi the systemd/system/fancyname.service files father than use systemd edit, but I think the result is the same.

There are two configs you can add to the [service] directive:

user=someuser

This should allow you to run the service under the credentials of your choosing.

Remember to systemctl daemon-reload after making changes to unit files.

That is not normal. I have much the same setup, sabnzbd, Plex, jellyfin, sonar, radar. They all run under a particular user and their /opt and /var/lib folders don’t ‘revert’ to their old ownership and permissions.

Either something is watching those folders and setting permissions, or some kind of immutability is in play, but permissions normally don’t revert like that.

Did you read my comment?

If you are referring to fastboot oem unlock, there are almost no phones that don’t have dual or even triple bootloader partitions, so that won’t work by itself.

I wouldn’t trust a chrome USB TTY permission to touch anything hardware of mine.

Flashing the phone’s bootloader and image is still done with adb and fastboot, but unlocking the bootloader is by now pretty much done with tools only made for windows.

Mostly this is because the exploits use factory flashing tools provided by manufacturers, which are nearly always windows.

Debian and xfce, generally. I’m happy to wait for features when they arrive, and xfce works fine.

However, Debian with gnome on my surface pro 6. Xorg just doesn’t handle rotation and touchscreen things very well.

On the other hand, several apps still behave very poorly under Wayland, so it’s a bit of a catch 22 at the moment.

The issue is that they are pushing their own version of flatpaks, some of which are broken, instead of contributing to flat hub and making that the default.
