@rl_dane I empathize completely. #Documentation is one area where #Linux falls behind #FreeBSD by several orders of magnitude.

I love #Debian. It's my favorite OS but oh my gods the documentation is, at best, an afterthought. And yes, other distros are not that much better.

It's actually *the* reason why I've been using FreeBSD more and taking the time to learn it.

Troubleshooting on #Linux:

You try something new, and it probably works without having to do anything.
If it doesn't work, you enter into an eldritch horror of complexity and incomplete/conflicting documentation. You give up and just hope that the next version of Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora handles "X" automatically, because you just can't be arsed anymore.

Troubleshooting on #FreeBSD:

You try something new, and it probably doesn't work out of the box.
You fire up the handbook PDF, read through the two pages of pertinent documentation, install a pkg or two, tweak a config file, and bob's your uncle.

Linux bretheren, it need not be like this. It didn't use to be like this. We used to have documentation. HOWTOs. Now they're all obsolete because of needless drastic changes, politics, and empire-building.

*sigh*

Sway is great and continues a steady growth trend, while Niri is a welcome alternative!

DID YOU KNOW? In 2000, Steve Jobs offered Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, a position at Apple on the condition that he discontinue his work on Linux. Torvalds declined the offer, citing his dislike for the macOS kernel and his commitment to open-source development; he continues to actively lead the Linux project to this day. FOLLOW US IT’S FOSS

Just two weeks left to reserve your spot in our upcoming "FreeBSD for Linux Users" training course. Seats are limited!

In this course you'll learn how to use FreeBSD through hands-on lab exercises in a secure environment, utilizing Bastille to experiment in jailed sandbox environments.

You'll become a pro with the most advanced filesystem in the wold, ZFS, and soon wonder how you ever used anything else!

RE: https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/115767245843883385

this is going to destroy so many systems built on MSWindows that if you are a CTO and not making contingencies to freeze further development on that OS & chart a path to migrate out to #Linux, then why are you even in that job.

Microsoft is gonna use an autocorrect on amphetamines to rewrite their O/S? this is absolute madness.

may they go down in flames but not before y’all moved out of their poisoned ecosystem.

Any tips for improving color fidelity when #printing using #cups on #Linux? I use a #Brother printer (of course), and usually only print B&W, but I have a need to print color flyers and my greens look blue. I don't expect perfect output on this (my model isn't made for that), but I expect better than this.
Yes, my Yellow ink is on the low side, but it hasn't run out.

Please #boost !

In OS 8 we kept the Classic Session as default with the option to try a Secure Session. Since then we’ve released updates fixing issues, app developers have updated, and hardware makers have fixed issues in their drivers. The Secure Session now provides a better experience for most people and supports a broader range of modern hardware

In OS 8.1, the Secure Session is now the default session, with the option to fall back to the Classic Session if you still need it

When we ran our desktop survey 75% of you told us that you expected to see background apps in the Dock, so we now have support for the Background Portal!

You can always manage app permissions in System Settings → Applications and choose which apps are allowed to run in the background

This year @zersiax joined us again for another round of accessibility testing. Installer views should all have much improved accessible labels. Thanks to this feedback, OS 8.1 can be installed and set up completely blind in most cases.

Thanks to feedback from @fireborn, Notifications and the Shortcut Overlay both added screen reader support. We’ve also improved screen reader labels in Calendar, In System Settings → Firmware updates, and in AppCenter to name a few cases.

For the first time we now also offer ARM64 builds for devices that boot with UEFI. This means you'll be able to run OS 8.1 on M-series Apple Silicon and devices where you can load UEFI-supporting firmware like Raspberry Pi. This version of Linux also supports certain Qualcomm and Rockchip processors, for example

Elementary OS 8.1 released

Elementary OS, the user-friendly Linux distribution with its own unique desktop environment and applications, just released elementary OS 8.1. Its minor version number belies just how big of a punch this update packs, so don't be fooled here.

We released elementary OS 8 last November with a new Secure Session—powered by Wayland—that ensures applications respect your privacy and co

🎄 Advent of Donations - Day 9 🎄

Today I'm going back to my terminal to find a project to sponsor. I'm sponsoring bat, the cat clone with syntax highlighting and git support. I've aliased it to cat for years now and therefore am using it every single day.

I came by an unused laptop. Some low/mid-tier Acer machine, ca. 2018.

It’s not going into production use immediately. I can play a bit. I have Debian Stable on all the other machines in the house, but I’d like to take a look at what else is out there.

What #Linux distro do I slap on it? Suggestions?

One thing people often miss is continuity.
Slackware isn’t just technically stable , it’s culturally stable.

The same person, Patrick Volkerding, has guided it for 30 years with the same philosophy: don’t change things unless there’s a real reason.

For many users, that long-term trust matters more than new features.

You know what Slackware will be next year, and that’s rare today.

#Slackware #Linux #UnixPhilosophy #FOSS

Caution: according to my own experience, this is an oversimplification. Sure, it installs AN operating system - with the developers' preferred default settings.

But finding and customising feature settings, or installing missing tools (ex: basics like dropbox, 1password, on-screen keyboard) may take you days of scavenging the web for a trustworthy app or instructions that work. Just so you know.
