What's your favorite linux os you suggest to beginners who wish to learn linux? Just wondering as ive been told many os’s online and then told to not use certain one aswell, i feel confused on what linux os to try someday. i come from windows 10 and i always find i need windows on atleast 1 device, and put linux on the “outdated” devices, but i keep hoping around, i cant seem to make up my mind.

Here is how I wasted the last 30 minutes with #mozilla #thunderbird Suddenly, the "add attachment" dialogue window stopped appearing. I could not attach memes to my emails anymore. I messed a bit around, unsuccessfully. Nothing appears anywhere in logs. I also checked #bugzilla , but that bug tracker is a huge mess and I can't wrap my head around it. Defeated, I tried #ai , which, I have to admit, helped. But not immediately. It went carefully through discarding possible culprits one by one, starting from the most common issues, until it found the cause. The culprit, in my case, is a ridiculous #bug (anyone feel free to report it, I won't touch Bugzilla with a stick) I deleted the last directory which I had last used to attach a file from. This path remains stored as default "last used" directory. Thunderbird did not find the directory anymore and decided to FREAK OUT SILENTLY instead of doing something sensible, like defaulting to my home, or at least alerting me that the directory could not be found. I want my 30 minutes back :( #rant #linux #opensource #foss #floss

Mein erster richtiger Fehler unter Linux war ein gelöschter Bootloader. Ich hatte damals keine Ahnung, was GRUB eigentlich ist, und dachte, ein paar Dateien in /boot wären Ballast. Der Rechner startete danach nicht mehr, und ich saß vor einem schwarzen Bildschirm ohne Plan B. Was mir damals geholfen hat, war die Gemeinschaft. In einem Forum hat sich jemand die Zeit genommen, mir ruhig zu erklären, was ein Bootloader macht und wie ich das System von einem Live USB wieder zum Laufen bringe. Ich habe eine Nacht dran gesessen und dabei mehr gelernt als in den Wochen davor. Heute weiß ich, dass genau das Linux für mich ausmacht. Fehler sind kein Weltuntergang, weil es fast immer einen Weg zurück gibt und jemanden, der ihn kennt. Aus meinem schlimmsten Moment wurde so einer der besten. Hattest du auch schon so einen Moment, bei dem ein Fehler dich weitergebracht hat? #CachyOS #Linux #OpenSource #neuhier

Calendar-validators/checkers for Linux? cross-posted from: lemmy.ca/post/71997210 Some events in my self-hosted calendars (CPanel) seems to have incorrect formatting, which gives problem to some calendar readers. Does anyone know of some calendar-validator or calendar-checker software for Linux? Cheers!

Hello. This is the account for Mise, a privacy focused browser I have been building, mostly for my own daily use. It has workspace isolation, a built in ad blocker, tab hibernation, split view, a PDF reader, dark mode, and a userscript engine among other things. Close to a 1.0 release now. Happy to answer questions, and always interested in which sites trip the fingerprint protections if anyone runs into that. https://rakosn1cek.github.io/Mise-browser/ #Introduction #FOSS #OpenSource #Privacy #Electron #Linux

I can't get rootless xorg to work Nvidia, voidlinux, sddm. It doesn’t get past plymouth (I can still get to the console with ctrl alt functionthing ofc) I’ve tried setting the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 (i did xbps-reconfigure -fa after that) in console thing in /etc/default/grub. I’ve enabled elogind as a service. I obviously did /etc/sddm.conf.d/rootless-x11.conf [General] DisplayServer=x11-user sddm doesn’t work after that until i change x11-user for x11. I also did /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config needs_root_roghts = no allowed_users=anybody But that one doesn’t really seem to change much. I also removed the execs from some part of the xinit ig.
