#2yearlinuxchallenge Check In. Haven't done a #nixos Check in here in a long while. But I'm still going strong. Won't say I'm loving it, but it's good and I'm mostly happy.

I'm super proud to see COSMIC hit its biggest release yet. When I worked at System76, I was the senior-most (by experience) designer on the team, and I'm excited to see my ideas and our work come to this milestone. I encourage everyone who is interested in desktop Linux to take a look at COSMIC. […]

it's truly amazing what LLMs can achieve. we now know it's possible to produce an html5 parsing library with nothing but the full source code of an existing html5 parsing library, all the source code of all other open source libraries ever, a meticulously maintained and extremely comprehensive […]

Underrated feature in Fedora Workstation and GNOME:

After pairing my iPhone with my two laptops via Bluetooth, there is a tether button that appears in the System Menu that allows me to quickly use the mobile hotspot feature without having to remember my dingus hotspot Wi-Fi password 😅

Have to reboot an M4 Max because Tahoe, even with all this ludicrous computing power, can’t play audio without dropping frames as soon as anything hits the CPU.

Wow, @jolla isn't fooling around, they want to bring back "The Other Half" with the new #jollaphone, an absolutely amazing attachable-backplate concept that already made the 2013 Jolla phone stand out. It'll be fully open source and will make […]

Looking forward to it.

"Oh, but they're unobtrusive, you don't have to use the features if you don't want them" isn't good enough. My baseline is "I don't want that crap in programs I use AT ALL". Period. Full stop.

We've been on like a 5+ year campaign to try and convince the boss types to let us install Linux on our laptops but, ironically, they tout "security" as the reason we can't. Meantime in the usability department...

Is it cool that Linus Torvalds uses Fedora Linux? Yes!

But the really cool thing is to use the Linux distro that works best for you. :)

Having Linux get covered on LTT is such a big win for the open source community as more techies realize there is another way!
