Right, question for Linux users - I'm getting some surprise money and I'm thinking I'll invest in a colour printer so that I can make my own art prints at home.

I had an Epson Eco-Tank in South Africa but was having a hell of a time calibrating the colours.

Suggestions for printers that work well on Linux (I know Brother are good), that are good for colour art prints?

@projectanchorage I would look at multiple options.
- If you're strictly stuck with i386 (not even i486) that means #NetBSD is propably the only choice.
- Depending on your goals, you may want to consider #OpenBSD or #386BSD (today's #FreeBSD).
- Not shure if #OpenSolaris / #illumos supported anything beyond #SPARC(v9 / SPARC64) & #amd64.

The question to me is whether or not old #BSD versions emcan even be built with midern toolchains and if choosing them isn't going to bite one in the ass down the line.
- The reason I choose #Linux for @OS1337 is because it's mature toolchain, drivers and hardware support.
- Tho you may rightfully argue that #OS1337 is just taking the #toybox / #musl + linux "distro" #mkroot and basically tries to make something out of it.

Being able to finally fully remove the remaining Xorg packages from my computers after upgrading to Fedora 44's Wayland-only GNOME is such a satisfying moment, after decades of carrying this cruft around!

The command I used:
dnf remove xorg-x11-server-Xorg

I guess the drivers really are in the kernel / Mesa nowadays, because my computers are still working fine after a reboot.

@TomAoki @tfb understood. And I’m not insensitive to the real deps here. As one who’s been “forced” to consider more minimal libs/deps (by virtue of choosing #OpenBSD on #PowerPC), I have appreciated adjusting my expectations. I expect that as more perfectly good tech / frameworks are deprecated, we’ll see people rethink these things — for the positive. (Like, will the #Linux #486 deprecation bring people to #NetBSD? ;) )

I can't decide whether I prefer z over regular cd.

z is "smart" it remembers what directories you've been to and will take you to what directory you want, even if you don't specify the path.

If you aren't in ~/ and type z Documents, you will go to ~/Documents, assuming either that's the only Documents, or it's the only folder with that name you frequently visit. It saves you from having to navigate up, or typing the whole absolute path.

I worry that with continued usage maybe I'd be prone to forgetting where things are though.

Been playing with Solus Linux recently. I like that things like installing Blender also pulls in AMD rocm clr and friends and gets Cycles support working without any real futzing around.

The Solus installer doesn't give a lot of filesystem options, err, perhaps more fairly, options that I like. No zfs and simple btrfs. I converted the root disk into a btrfs raid1 mirror after the fact but it would be cool if that was possible in the installer. Maybe I missed it. I can live with btrfs, I guess. Ha.

Running the Plasma spin (for now?). Will take a hard look at Qt based Budgie 11 when it comes out.

Very nice, polished distro. Thinking about putting it on my main box since I've got btrfs retroactive mirroring figured out. First time using (i.e. trusting) btrfs so maybe I should let some more water go under Solus' keel before going 'all in'.

Too bad Alpine doesn't have the same level of rocm support. I get it. It is what it is.

It is interesting that this is on the flavour of Windows, DOS+Windows, that was not even designed to have subsystems and personalities. That was Windows NT.

Amusingly, the screenshot is not using the correct terminal type. Yes, there is in fact a terminfo entry that should be correct for this, that has been there for 30 years, waiting.

This #ThinkPad so far has been great. #OS and #firmware #updates are regularly available. Performance is snappy and smooth and it handled my long uptimes just fine.

Except I do have one peculiar issue when scrolling down on a webpage the action becomes stuck. ALL webpages just scroll on their own to the very bottom of the page. No key presses, combinations, or even the ESC key fixes or interrupts this. Clicking on a menu item like File causes the selected options to cycle infinitely. The *only* fix is to reboot the laptop.

I've never seen this on any other distro or laptop.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I thought these functions are part of the #linux libbsd package, is that not the case ? I would think if you add libbsd as a dependency that would remove a lot of "OpenBSDisms". From what I have seen on #linux, many pkgs do not care if they have lots of dependencies, what is one more small library :)

TIL about #jemalloc, a scalable concurrent malloc(3) implementation for #FreeBSD and #Linux, only to find out it had its 20th birthday a few days ago! 🎂

Check out the original paper on https://papers.freebsd.org/2006/bsdcan/evans-jemalloc/

I was recently in a study skills workshop where speech to text software was discussed as helpful if you can say words more easily than you can type them.

Obviously being mainstream education, there were recommendations for Windows and macOS, but nothing else.

I want to go back to the accessibility team with suggestions, because if I complain they didn't have any they'll most likely say something insincere and then never do anything about that.

So, if you have #recommendations for free or low cost Speech to Text software for #Linux users, please could you share them with me?

Never mind just Linux; this would seem to raise serious issues for any group producing their own kernel without an army of lawyers on staff e.g. *BSD, RedoxOS, Graphene, ReactOS, Haiku, illumos and perhaps even plan9 and operating system textbooks and learning frameworks like FluxOSKit. There is furthermore some significant scariness about packets crossing borders rendering ppl liable for violations of all this when passing through spaces wherein USA agents may apprehend them.
