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. 😞

So, if you like one of the hashtags below, please consider following me, and if you do, I'll follow you back! Thank you. 💗

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!

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!)

Debian have announced that they will no longer be posting on X as per their micronews: https://micronews.debian.org/2025/1738154246.html

They can be found on the Fediverse @debian - It's a non-official account maintained by @larjona #debian #fediverse #linux

Happy GNU Year!

Kleine Erinnerung: Bis zum 8.1. könnt Ihr Vorträge und Workshops für die Chemnitzer Linuxtage im März 2025 einreichen.

Da in diesem Fediverse schon die Rede von wenig Nachwuchs war und ich (Cis-)Männer dort immer noch etwas überrepräsentiert finde, möchte ich anbieten: FLINTA*s, die gerne etwas einreichen möchten und sich Unterstützung von einer erfahrenen Person wünschen, Ihr könnt Euch gerne per DM melden.

Starting to do the TROM work now 😀 - I am in Romania for a month or so before we go back and start the TROMhome adventure. A new TROMjaro ISO is out https://forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-2024-12-18-pikas-back/242 ! More updates to follow!

Users need service, service needs labour, labour needs money, money needs coercion, coercion needs control, control needs ownership, ownership leads to abuse.

This is how the great chain of software abuse happens. Free software has for too long focused on breaking the chain at money, instead of breaking it at coercion. We can fix this.

We need to talk about Kdenlive video editor on Linux.

Kdenlive is open source software that runs on multiple platforms. Also, Kdenlive does NOT requires a additional graphics card, is not intense on system resources, supports multi-track video editing, supports advance features like audio and video plugin support, supports nested sequences, supports proxy editing, imports most file formats, and is easy to learn.

We will soon update our TROMjaro theme switcher to support some 160 unique theme styles with a very simple interface 😀

A complete theme switcher application 😀.

So Russia blocked Signal - https://www.reuters.com/technology/signal-messenger-blocked-russia-says-roskomnadzor-ifax-2024-08-09/

"Access to the Signal messaging app is blocked in connection with violation of the requirements of Russian legislation which must be complied with to prevent the use of messaging apps for terrorist and extremist aims,"

So thankful that Russia goes after those extremists using Signal! Russia already has enough on their hands dropping bombs on hospitals and supermarkets and invading other countries! Fuck off extremists!

By the way we ship TROMjaro with a trade-free VPN to bypass these stupidities.

Also: Signal Settings > Privacy > Advanced > Censorship circumvention (on)

A big thank you to the anonymous donor who sent 500 Euros for @Rokosun to buy a laptop. Roko has been helping with our TROM projects for a while now. TROMjaro would not be possible the way it is now without him. He is the one coding our layout and theme switchers and a lot more.

Roko got TROM's "legacy" laptop a year ago 😀 but unfortunately the motherboard died 🙁. So he ended up using an old laptop that barely worked. He could barely test stuff for TROMjaro. So he really needed a good machine.

Now he will buy one and will be able to more easily help with the TROM project. We have a lot of plans! Follow us on the fediverse ;)

TROMjaro is alive and well. And we keep it up to date and relevant - https://www.tromjaro.com - I love our Linux distro! 😀 I love when it is stable and just works. And we also ship with so many tweaks you can simply use it. No ads, no trackers, all apps available in Linux from one single place - click and install. I love it. A very positive project indeed 😀

For the past several months no one could install flatpaks from our Trade-Free TROMjaro app Library - https://www.tromjaro.com/apps/ - and now we finally fixed it thanks to @Rokosun ! One click installs 😀

We have curated around 700 trade-free apps for the library and we plan to add a lot more the following months. Check it out!

I really really REALLY wish that when I comment about #Linux DE #UX people would understand:
1. This is coming from a place of love for Linux, I want it to get better
2. I'm fairly new here and WILL make mistakes
3. I'm very welcome to be corrected
4. I'm not attacking anyone

I'm a #UX expert, not a Linux expert. I'm absolutely going to say stupid things. Could I possibly go a bit slower and be more diplomatic? Sure. Could people also not freak out and assume the worst? Please.

In 2020 I checked some old backup disks of mine and found to my utmost joy a copy of my former UT2003 installation. This is a Linux native 32bit build that is now over 20 years old. Well, LinuxGaming is hard because who can support 500 distributions, right? This worked just fine in 2020 on Fedora 31. Today I gave it another spin in 2024 on Fedora 38 on Wayland with PipeWire 😀

Hell yeah, the muscle memory is still there 🤘🤓🤘

(tbf the SDL1.2 compat lib rocks most of this but it's really all still there)

I have tried to switch from white-on-black xterms to black-on-white, since it's told to be a less strain on the eyes, but it's kind of impossible due to everyone defaulting their color schemes on WoB. It feels like a hopeless fight.
Otherwise it's really eye-soothing, but it's definitely not mind soothing the guy need to reconfigure everyfuckingthing.
