Yesterday my father (84 years old) switched from Windows to Linux (@pop_os_official), thanks to the bullshit policies by Microsoft that would not support a perfectly fine Laptop to be upgraded to W11, but also due to the fascist shit in USA.
I think it’s just badass cool.
Special shoutout to #Pixum the German fotobook company for bringing their software to Linux. Otherwise my dad would not have made the switch 😀

Frage zu AppImage. Vom ZEN Browser werden unterschiedliche AppImages angeboten.

zen-x86_64.AppImage
zen-x86_64.AppImage.zsync

was macht man mit dem .zsync? Kann ich damit das Image automatisch aktuell halten?

Rebooting TROM! These are our goals if you can help:

We can increase the storage space for TROM Files up to 50GB for each user. We can start a new video series, bring back TROMnews, make an app for VideoNeat, and more.

We only need a minimum of help. A handful of people willing to donate 5 Euros a month.

Since we do not bullshit you with "you send us money and we will give you a special treatment" then it is harder to find people to help us since everyone is used to being "rewarded" for their help.

But we want to keep everything that we do trade-free for EVERYONE.

We could easily say "If you donate we will give you more storage space on TROM Files" or more advantages for any of our services.

But we NEVER did that, and NEVER will.

Therefore, if you see the value in what we do - and please see here https://www.tromsite.com/donate/ all of what we do (scroll down to see it all), then please support us with this campaign.

The hopes are low, but then the surprises can feel a lot better.

It is finally time to take care of TROM. The website got a bit updated/fixed here and there. We also updated the Donation page. There are 89 people who donate 5 Euros a month. Thank you so much!

Soon we will add goals to the donation page, and if we reach those we can release some new stuff and/or increase the storage for TROM Files for everyone and so forth.

If you can donate and support the so many projects we do, see https://www.tromsite.com/donate/

Ich habe nen ollen #Laptop. Auf dem würde ich gerne mal dieses #Linux ausprobieren.
Gibts jemanden im #Fediverse, der oder die physisch zwischen #Dessau und #Köthen wohnt oder von da gut mit dem #Fahrrad zu erreichen ist und mir das #installieren , erklären und später helfen kann?
Boost erwünscht


Total respect for Alyssa Anne Rosenzweig, @lina@vt.social and all the other developers from Asahi Linux for reverse engineering Apples M1 GPU architecture to the point where they surpassed Apple by providing Vulkan support.
That is so unbelievable outstanding!
No one else of all those other senior developers in the whole wide world didn't even bother to try. Meanwhile someone born 2001 (like Alyssa) did – I think the others are mostly in the same age range.
I can only repeat, this is outstanding!
Congratulations and thank you all for your incredible work!!

Weil grade wieder jemand schrieb, #Linux auf #Desktop sei ein Fehlschlag:

Seit 2008 steigt der Anteil von Desktop Nutzern, die Linux nutzen, stetig schneller als linear:
https://www.draketo.de/politik/gnu-linux-desktop-share

In einem Monat füge ich die Juli-Daten diesen Jahres hinzu. Wäre spannend, was da der baldige Tod von Windows 10 ausmacht.

A plot of GNU/Linux desktop share, plotted as number of Linux users per 1000 Windows users.

It shows two lines, one for each datasource: netwarketshare from 2008 to 2023 and statcounter from 2009 to 2024. Each is sampled every July.

Both start at 10, then go up to about 20 in 2018. THen netmarketshare jumps to 40 in 2020 while statcounter just keeps rising. In 2021 netmarketshare dips to about 15 again, but statcounter grows to 30.

Netmarketshare ends at 30 in 2023, while statcounter grows 42 in 2023 and then to 60 in 2024.


Games are the last defence for running Windows. Were.

Were the last wall to running Linux.

New Headline.

"Lenovo Legion Go S gets better frame rates running Valve's free operating system"

The End (of Windows 10) is nigh!

On 14 October, #Microsoft will end support for #Win10.

This will turn hundreds of millions of computers that cannot upgrade to #Win11 into security risks and #eWaste.

Yours may be one of them!

But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

I want to give #Mastodon a proper go this time, but it's hard to connect with people when no-one follows you, and hashtags only get you so far. 😞

It is once again time to give thanks to Brian Fox, the Black American programmer that has given us BASH and echo! Thank you for your INCREDIBLE contributions to open source software, Unix, and Linux. It literally would not be the same without you. BASH is still absolutely foundational to all computing today. Happy Black History Month to an absolute icon!

He was born in 1959 and is a GNU hacker, programmer, entrepreneur, consultant, author, and free software advocate.


Hello, Mastodon family! It's been a long time coming, but Xubuntu has officially left X behind!

https://x.com/Xubuntu/status/1886754277177123276

If you're still using X, consider sharing our update to spread awareness. We'll continue to bring you the best of #Xfce and #Linux... all in one place.

(edit: because everything is confusing and nothing makes sense... we're leaving X, formerly known as Twitter, not X11. Wayland is still very much in the future!)
