  • Does anyone choose Debian?

    Jump

  • In my understanding, Linux distros have different flavors and play in different arenas. For instance, there are "community-driven" distros like Debian, Arch, or Gentoo, and there are other "industry-driven" distros that are developed by companies, such as Fedora or Ubuntu. Another aspect to consider is the support for new software. With Arch and similar distros you get support for bleeding edge software, whereas Debian supports more stable releases and officially supports older version of softwares that have been tested and reliable. Then there are a myriad of other things to consider, including the Desktop Environment, using X11 or Wayland, SystemD, support for graphics cards, etc...

    I wouldn't care much about who uses it, but about who takes the decisions. In this case, Debian has a very open system that you can check on their website. I think that corporate interests such as what Google or Microsoft want don't have a space in the Debian decision-making processes. I tend to trust more the community-driven distros and stable releases, so Debian does the trick for me.

  • Hi, I didn't created the chart, and you're right, Signal is not federated. But I think the big aspect several people have missed about this initiative is not which FOSS option for messaging is the best (which I understand is a big matter of concern for a lot of people already aware of the problems of proprietary apps), but making people completely unaware that there are options know that they can use something that respects their privacy and treats them as humans, not just "users"/"consumers", which is from my point of view, one of the main strengths of FOSS and Fedi apps.

    Which FOSS options do you recommend for online surveys?

    What is the best FOSS alarm clock app?

  • “Something has gone seriously wrong,” dual-boot systems warn after Microsoft update

    Jump

  • I use Debian and I also was affected by this Windows update. I was able to boot by disabling secure boot. I also found this option that apparently fixes the problem by changing the sbat policy using mokutil. But I haven't tried it out yet. Has anyone got any luck with something else besides disabling secure boot?

  • Thanks for the info!

  • Thanks! I didn't know about CodeCompanion, I'll look into it more!

  • Thanks! I didn't know about continue. It seems interesting. I was interested in codeium since I saw it can run in nvim too, which is my preferred editor. But running it with a local ollama setup seems very cool, and would definitely be better. Thanks!

  • I have to do some Lua scripts, and I don't know the syntax very well, so I was looking for a tool that could help me with some code suggestions until I get more used to Lua.

    Then, you have a great point regarding the need of large amounts of data to work. In that sense, likely non of them respect privacy during their development.

    My question was more about privacy regarding user data and the prompts you use. I believe that running something locally like ollama (as others suggested) is the best option for what I'm trying to achieve, which is simple feedback about the code.

  • Sorry, I'm too ignorant and didn't know about the marvels of ed. It seems absolutely superior compared to everything else I've tried so far. It truly deserves being the Standard editor.

  • I would like to give a proper try to a tiling window manager. I would like to try QTile, but I haven't gone through the documentation to understand how to customize it properly. Currently, I use GNOME (and actually, I like it a lot). Also, I love TMUX, and the idea of having the same flexibility and keyboard-centric experience on a broader level makes me think that I will love a tiling window manager when I try it. I'm interested in QTile because I know it's configured in Python (which is a programming language I already know), and apparently, it can be used on either X or Wayland. Have you ever tried using it on Wayland? Does it work properly? Besides QTile, what else would you recommend?
