I am now a monthly contributor to Garuda Linux.

Support the open source projects that you use!

Open source beats proprietary solutions time and time again with little to no funding, comparatively. Imagine what could be done with even modest investments!

It doesn't have to be a lot of money - collectively we can more than adequately fund great projects like Garuda Linux.

Support your favorite FOSS project TODAY!

Y’all, the new XeroLinux website is 🔥!

If I could code like that, I’d still be in I.T. instead of tromping around construction sites in work boots.

@nprofile1q... FANTASTIC work. I love EVERYTHING about the design. Really well done. Congratulations!

Two free services which I used are #DuckDNS to give me a #URL and #LetsEncrypt to provide #SSLCertificates. I had to open up a #Port on my #Router for #PortForwarding and to make sure that the #HomeAs...

@nprofile1q... I could never manage to get any external access stuff working with reverse proxies and certificates and authentication (this was pre LLM-days), so I just installed Tailscale. Wow was that easy!

My homelab services are for me and my family anyway, so I just put Tailscale on their devices and added them to the same Tailnet. Done. I can even host my own control server with Headscale and not touch any Tailscale servers.

A couple weeks ago, I took someone's older windows 10 desktop that was taking 10 solid minutes to boot and was painfully slow after that... And converted it to #nixbook #linux This is a non technic...

@nprofile1q... This is intriguing. I’ve not heard of nixbook until I saw your post.

I’ve installed #NixOS on a spare laptop about a month ago, but I haven’t touched it since because of other projects, work, life, etc., and I haven’t been able to get my brain into learning mode.

Definitely going to check this out!

It’s been a good ride, #UltramarineLinux, but #Fedora has dropped support for the old broadcom-wl driver that Hardcase needs, so now I get “tainted kernel” errors.

I’ll be moving Hardcase all the way back to one of the very first distros that I used in the beginning of my Linux journey: Linux Mint. @nprofile1q...

I recently installed #LinuxMint on an old MacBook for a friend and was pleasantly reminded of just how easy and friendly and COMPATIBLE it is. 😉

All USB-C cables are NOT created equal! My solution? Color-coded cable ties.

I test a cable by attaching my external SSD and running `lsusb -t` in Linux, which reports the negotiated speed:

480M: USB 2.0
5000M: USB 3.2 Gen 1, 4.8Gb/s
10000M: USB 3.2 Gen 2x1, 10Gb/s
20000M: USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, 20Gb/s

I assigned a color to each speed, wrote it down in #Joplin, attached my cable ties, and now I no longer have to worry about a USB-C cable turning my SSD into an HDD.

The number of mainstream Debian-based #Linux disros with KDE 6 that aren't Ubuntu is remarkably small. Enter @nprofile1q... #TuxedoOS. Even though it's optimized for their hardware, it runs well on two of my old computers - quite a bit faster than my current favorite, #Fedora based Ultramarine Linux. I'm guessing its due to Fedora's use of SELinux, but I'm no expert.

Looks like another distro hop might be coming.

Wolffe sporting the COSMIC Alpha 6 desktop with COSMIC DROID icons by SethStorm666 (and a few I threw together for this screenshot).

I could get used to this pretty quickly. It looks like COSMIC is shaping up to be a nice middle ground between GNOME's austere rounded-corner aesthetic and KDE's option-heavy business-suit aesthetic.

Hey, #KDE devs: have a look at how #COSMIC is doing tiling and COPY IT.
