Special Thanks to @riscv64 for doing the work to make this possible. I just got it booting with pmOS.

Does anyone know a port of the #X11Basic #X11_Basic Interpreter for 32 Bit #Linux (XUbuntu), ideal is a standalone executable file

Doesnt matter if its most recent or something older

Ok! The Linux Install Party is done!

I am declaring it a success!

So we only had one week to prepare for this and notify folks in town about it.

Last week we:
- Reserved a room at the local library
- Created the website (just a digital flyer site)
- Printed out release forms
- Made a handful of install USB ISOs with Linux Mint on it
- Made a post on the town's subreddit, a couple local discord channels, and told people to tell others

Not a lot of advertising at all.

But!

We had:
- 7 volunteers show up
- 5 groups of people who got Linux installed on their laptops (including one family: a mom and dad who were updating an old laptop for their 8 year old to use)
- And a good handful of people who stopped by to see what it was about, ask questions, and try out our demo laptops running Linux

All installs went chill. We even popped open one laptop to try and repair it (the keyboard and touch pad were borked. It turned out to be a hardware issue. We determined that an external keyboard and mouse were the quickest and cheapest fix. the laptop itself and linux install worked great)

When we werent installing things, we were hanging out, discussing linux and various open source projects and town groups and events and getting to know each other and generally just having a great time. I met new people from town and had some wonderful conversations. No masking, just being myself.

Folks really wanted this to happen again. We even had a librarian come in and ask when we were doing it again so they could bring their laptop to get Linux installed! Some of the volunteers were from the local college and said they had a great time and want to do these events at college and in town again.

We're shooting for next February (in conjunction with a repair cafe) and will try and hold it every month thereafter. Once its a regular monthly event and word of mouth and proper advertisement and posting flyers up in cafes etc, more people will show up and it will grow!

We also think we can make it an official library event (and not just a community event using library space). Once that happens it gets into the town events notification and really attracts folks!

That was awesome.

All set up for the Linux Install Party!!!

(This is the first one. And it was on short notice. There will probably be more volunteers than actual folks getting Linux Installed. BUUUUUT!!!! It'll be a good way to work out any other things that we can think of)

1st lesson already... bring a power strip and extension cords....

🚀 Slackware on the Raspberry Pi 5

Just finished building a development spin of the Slackware Installer for the #RaspberryPi5 and successfully installed #Slackware on it.

For now it’s running the Raspberry Pi kernel fork since LTS doesn’t yet support the RPi5 — we’ll switch to the upstream LTS once that lands.

Everything’s looking solid so far! 🐧

Right now, it is very historically interesting, but hopefully it will be practical in future too and receive some modernization!

#Linux question

Does apparmore make sense on a developer machine for a teenager? Or does it make the development experience too frustrating?

Context:

I'm just preparing a Linux laptop for my daughter. Installing the ROBO Pro Coding (programming environment for the fischertechnik TX4 controller) appimage I noticed it didn't work because of a missing #apparmor profile.

The proposed fixes i found were to disable apparmor (but creating a profile shouldn't be too hard either).

My question is now, should o disable apparmor to avoid future questions? Especially as it wasn't trivial to figure out that it was apparmor which stopped the application from working and i expect future problems and frustration.

Problems I have with Nvidia and Linux is so annoying that I'm considering AMD GPU next. This time when I woke the computer from sleep, #KDE had colors of the rainbow. They did clear up a bit after moving windows, but had to reboot.

I don't know is it because I have old GTX 1070, would newer Nvidia work better with Linux?

I was about to upgrade to RTX 5080, but if Linux support is as poor, it's not good upgrade, given that I play games once a year approximately.

Arvon parviäly, pari kysymystä! Yritän auttaa Linuxiin vaihtamista harkitsevaa yliopisto-opiskelijaa, mutta en ole varma tiedänkö tarpeeksi siihen tänä päivänä liittyvistä erikoistarpeista, eikä hänkään niistä kaikista välttämättä ole tietoinen ennen kuin tulee ongelmia.

Vieläkö esim. Zoom ja Teams toimivat Linuxissa hyvin päivittäisessä käytössä? Onko jotain muuta huomioitavaa, mitä tulee mieleen? Yliopiston VPN?

hey, Linux boffins, a request: we want a book.

we know how to use a computer. we know how to crack open a wiki. we know how to structure a web search. but when it comes to Linux, we're missing the *basics.* the bits that don't go in the wiki in the same way that *how to use a mouse* doesn't go in the wiki, because why would you explain that.

is there a book we can get – from our local library or said library's Libby subscription or, idk, the archive dot org anization or whatever – that can shore up our understanding? like the catalog lists book titles but we don't know how to judge them, so we'd like to be able to just type a title *y'all* name into the box and see if it comes up.

Is there any "network device" simulators out there that would allow me to host 20+ network devices on one host to troubleshoot DHCP issues?

I would like to spin up a VLAN between some infrastructure switches, a DHCP server and a host. The host will just request a bunch of DHCP operations over a few hours simulating multiple devices. I prefer using it on #FreeBSD but would accept #Linux, macOS, and if I have to Windows.

The BSD community comes up with the best tee shirts.

✅ Specs & price match
☑️ EU based, but hardware is manufactured by TongFang a Chinese OMD.
✅ Allow customization & DIY repairs
✅ Offer support & share fixes
❓ Seem to support Linux ecosystem & local community
❓Sustainability is a bit vague

@frameworkcomputer was considered, but fell short:

❌ Price & spec didn't match
❌ ☑️ Sustainability is a bit of a ruse; components can only purchased at #Framework & replacement boards are expensive; ✅ Still easier todo diy repairs
❌ US company, hardware is manufactured by Taiwan Compal Elec though
❌ VC capital funded
❌ Questionable handling of sponsorships
❌ Promoting Omarchy - distro by extreme rightwing techbro David Heinemeier Hansson

I recently install #linuxmint (#linux) on the relatively new laptop of my SO, and after that (really totally frictionless) experience and the enthusiastic reaction to the new system, I am going to try and slip this to relatives as "Windows XE (Extra Edition)" and see whether I ever get caught out.

(My father has been using Linux for years now, installed by my brother-in-law and still hasn't gotten aware of it ...)

People, out there, don't let anybody tell you that "Linux is not mature for the desktop". It's just not preinstalled.

Our fundraiser to "Sustain and Strengthen" GNU Guix has been running for a month. Time for a post on how we're doing:

https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2025/update-on-the-guix-fundraising/

We're at about 40% (€6562) of our €15000 annual goal. And, over 100 people have become recurring supporters - pledging between €10-€30 each month. This is a great start and we really appreciate everyone who's donated to Guix! 🙏

People have contributed through both our @fsf hosted funds and through Guix Foundation. Every donation help!

Excited to see how it goes through the next few weeks and what it means for the projects sustainability. 💪

# "Using LibreOffice and other Free software for documents as a lawyer"

I was asked recently about how I get on using LibreOffice for document-related legal work, and I promised to write down some thoughts.

The short answer is that I use a mix of LibreOffice and other FOSS tools, and I’m very positive about it, with no particular concerns.

If you have questions, please do ask!

Is anyone here using ZFS as their daily driver file system of choice on Gentoo? I like FreeBSD's ZFS integration and want to replicate some of that. It seems more polished than BTRFS.

Unfortunately, it looks like the Gentoo wiki is a bit out of date when it comes to ZFS knowledge.

Hello, decided to log back into Mastodon as the bus to my town seems to have stopped a minute away from here for 20 minutes now. I have a few status updates regarding my tech adventures to share.

Firstly, I installed postmarketOS on a Samsung Galaxy S9 a few months ago, and with it, I moved to Alpine Linux on my laptop and desktop. The experience has been wonderful, but bumpy. It works really well on my laptop, but my desktop has faced some issues which I am happy to post on their mailing list once I am back home.

I also installed Arch Linux alongside my Alpine Linux installation as a redundant backup option in case one ends up broken by an update, or a mistake of my own. This has proven handy twice now, the second time ending up with my main system still under maintenance as of today. I also have a reserve Linux Mint USB, if it gets really bad, but I remain hopeful that it won't get that bad. Just for assurance, my ego has not inflated after installing it.

I still love using OpenBSD and FreeBSD when I can, but I deemed it more logical to use the operating system based off the kernel I want to develop for in the future. I plan on using OpenBSD on systems that I find to be not essential to use all the time, such as my brothers desktop, but I'm kind of bringing myself to use Alpine Linux on my daily drivers.

Sorry for disappearing for a while, this is a new phone which I forgot to install Mastodon on. My old phone drowned after my water bottle leaked during a walk, which meant I had to start over from scratch. I'm still addicted to Pixel phones however. Thanks for making a great operating system, #grapheneos team.
