Täytyy sanoa, että olen vaikuttunut siitä, kuinka käyttäjäystävälliseksi hiottu tämä Linux Mint on. Tämän mun hyvin lyhyen kokeilun ja muiden ihmisten kokemusten ja suositusten perusteella voin itsekin lämpimästi suositella tätä jokaiselle, joka ei tykkää säätää tietokoneita tai Linux ei ole entuudestaan tuttu. Mulla on toki vielä kokematta, millainen tämä olisi pitempään päivittäisessä käytössä, mutta tietojeni valossa on vaikea keksiä, miten Mint voisi poiketa muista Linux-jakeluista ainakaan huonompaan suuntaan.

Asennus oli todella helppo ja selkeä. Heti sen jälkeen kirjauduttaessa ruudulle avautuva avustin (Tervetuloa!-ikkuna/aloitusnäkymä) on oikeasti tosi hyödyllinen ja ohjaa käyttäjää tekemään tavallisimmat ja tärkeimmät asetukset sekä opastaa muutenkin alkuun.

Kuvakaappaus Linux Mintistä. Olen siirtänyt työpöytäpalkin näytön vasempaan reunaan pystyyn ja lisännyt siihen liitännäisen, jolla voi seurata tietokoneen resurssien käyttöä. Ruudulla on avattuna Libreoffice Writer -tekstinkäsittelyohjelma, jossa testaan suomen kielen oikolukua.

Welp, #PewDiePie has opened the floodgates to the #Linux community now that he's actually done a full video explaining his move to Linux, why he did it, and why he thinks others should ditch #Windows.

I honestly expected a nothing burger video with not much meaning/input to it, esp to someone who's already on Linux, but his points were pretty interesting. Some of his takeaways:

- He was tired of #Microsoft's bullshit concerning ads, #AI slop, and bloat - and how he really supports the idea of #FOSS, and gave the example of how cool it is that #Valve saw the issue on putting all of their/our eggs (shares) in Windows' basket and addressed that by building on top of an existing FOSS project, #Wine to then develop #Proton, which as a result has unlocked and enabled the expansive #gaming scene that we have today, not just for the #SteamDeck but all Linux users as a whole.

- He, surprisingly loves the customisation aspect of Linux and how everything is modular - which meant we could change things like the GUI (desktop environment) and customise it as desired. He even (appropriately) used the term, ricing lol.

- He, even more surprisingly, loves the fact that there are many Linux distros to choose from - when some find this to be somewhat a hurdle. He highlighted how you should just pick one and move forward, which is often true - this choice doesn't really matter as much these days (if ever). His choice was #LinuxMint, the distro he's tried 15 years ago.

- He noted how, like anything, Linux isn't perfect and there may be sacrifice(s) needed - like how some apps may only be available on Windows, for #macOS, and likewise for Linux. His sacrifice was #Adobe #Photoshop, but he was happy to ditch the thing (which costed him 60 USD just to unsubscribe), and his chosen alternative was... #GIMP - I know some might not agree, but he liked it 😂

- He mentioned how searching (locally) on Windows is garbage, and everyone knows that's just... objectively true. Like him, I too was amazed how local search actually JUST WORKS and is super fast on Linux, unlike on Windows or macOS.

- He noted how goddamn easy and intuitive installing/updating/managing apps are on Linux by using the system's package manager (app store), rather than having to look up the app installer online and dodging all of the shady sites with malwares and so on.

- As if this wasn't enough, Pewds really went down a fucking rabbit hole, almost putting to 'shame' for most, all average Linux users (incl myself) by literally installing/using #ArchLinux on his laptop, which is normal, 'cept he's not using a regular DE like #KDE or #Gnome but he instead, opted for a tiling manager, #Hyprland with #Rofi, #Waybar and all lol.

Anyway, it's a pretty cool video - and I underestimated Pewds' love for tinkering and using the terminal, so much so that I hope his users don't think that they actually need to use the terminal for the things he did haha.

For those who run Linux as their primary lap/desk top OS, which base distro is your preferred distro based on?

To expand upon my previous post:
tech.lgbt/@Tourma/114395266121

I have another question. What is a good, full image backup that will run on Windows and Debian-based Linux?

My current thought is that I will turn my machine fully into a Linux Mint one with no Dual boot. But. I still want a 100% backup of my current machine in case I fuck things up. Something that I can load and it will fully replace my "C:" / "/sda1" with what is saved.

Like, I install Linux Mint, and something isn't working right. I can boot this software, hit load or install or something, and it will put Windows back on my machine just as it was.

I hope to never need it...but.

LGBTQIA+ and TechDawn Tåke 🌙 :sparkletrans: (@Tourma@tech.lgbt)Thinking about having to move to Windows 11 again. On one hand, I'd like a dual boot with Mint. On the other, I'd like to just buy a really fast thumbdrive use this program I've seen than makes a portable Win11 boot and just have Mint on my good PC. The downside I've been thinking of thus far if using the portable is that I wanted to do that *and* minimize the spying Windows can do on me. But thinking atm, if it's only plugged in when I need it, do I give a shit on the few things they're spying on me for? In all likelihood, Steam or EGS already know what I'm doing because those are the few games I have that are Windows-only. Hm. #Windows #Windows11 #Win11 #Linux #LinuxMint #TourmaLinux

Linux Cafê Esslingen

Am 12.04. hatten wir das mit Abstand best besuchte #LinuxCafe; die SSDs waren schnell ausverkauft, und sage und schreibe 21 Gäste konnten mit wenigen Ausnahmen einen funktionierenden #Linux Rechner mitnehmen; bei etwas schwacher Besetzung.
❤️Vielen Dank an alle Helfer!❤️

Es gab Besuch von Abgesandten der #repaircafes aus #renningen #Kaltental und #winterbach die alle ebenfalls Linux-Installationen anbieten wollen und von unseren Erfahrungen profitieren möchten.

I'm about to install #Fedora42 on a neighbours new computer.

I know, I'm a glutton for support complexity.

But I think, having tried a bunch of OSes last year, while I didn't personally like Fedora for some specific reasons. It seemed really stable and suitable for end users compared to many Debian based systems that seemed to be falling all over themselves recently.

Maybe it's money. Perhaps it's organisation. not sure.

Wish me luck!

Das letzte Mal, dass ich mir #linuxmint angeschaut habe, war schwierig. Die Übersetzung ins Deutsche war lückenhaft und das System lief noch nicht immer rund. Hat sich das mittlerweile gebessert? Was funktioniert gut, was hakelt immer noch?
