  • Aurora Spring 2026 Update - Latest Stream now based on Fedora 44 [workstation sibling of Bazzite]

    Jump

  • fedora is still clinging to their curated and much smaller flatpak repo, but it's easy enough to disable theirs and add flathub.

    but yea, having common drivers configured 'out of the box' is a huge bonus that most derivatives have.

    i've been doing a lot of testing here on a newer system to see what works best on it. even debian is easier to add proper intel alchemist support than fedora.

  • not difficult at all, snapraid's online documentation is very good.

  • i have three snapraids here. one with (what was at the time) new disks, and two made up of old salvaged disks like you've got--pulled from systems and laptops headed for the recycle bin.

    US government pays $900 million to exit wind projects

    Jump

  • he bought land in scotland for a golf course in 2006... near where an offshore wind farm had been in planning for several years.

    he either doesn't know what due diligence is, or him being himself thought he could muscle the local and national government into nixing the wind farm (or both).

    he objected to the project's formal application. he lost.

    he sued. he lost.

    he appealed. he lost again.

    the wind farm was built, not completed until 2016.

    he's been on an extra salty vendetta against wind power, and basically all renewables, ever since.

  • twitter (or rather, a bunch of little mini-twitters that can talk to each other), but without the billionaire poop-stain in charge of it.

  • What Lemmy Client are you Android users using in 2026?

    Jump

  • same. only because it was the only one i could remember the name of when i was setting up the 'mini tablet' (which is just someone's old phone. has no sim or service). it's an old and slow phone, so it doesn't get used often. i'd much rather be on a desktop.

  • Donut Browser - any opinions?

  • agreed. shady af.

  • have you tried this simple technique to bypass censorship?

  • that local server still has to get the data from somewhere.

  • To End 'New Gilded Age,' House Progressives Unveil Bill to Raise Federal Minimum Wage to $25 Per Hour

  • it wouldn't be.. once the rich crooks that own everything jack all the prices and rents and rates up to 'compensate'.

  • Ubuntu to CachOS; What to pay attention to?

    Jump

  • kubuntu 26.04 minimal install: keep the ubuntu and apt you're familiar with, skip the unnecessary or unwanted junk (including snapd) at install time, and get the option of using btrfs filesystem (which is not possible with the main ubuntu installer).

    one note: you won't even have a web browser out-of-the-box, and snap-powered 'firefox' package exists in ubuntu repos. so if adding mozilla's deb repo, do not forget the step where you adjust your sources priorities so 'sudo apt install firefox' pulls from mozilla instead of ubuntu.

  • the people behind the appimage spec at https://appimage.org/

    .. have a listing of available software at https://appimage.github.io/

    note that this isn't a curated repository like your os repos, but rather a directory of community-provided submissions that pass some basic automated tests.

  • Ubuntu 26.04 Allows "sudo apt install rocm" But It's Months Out-Of-Date

    Jump

  • 2 months. lts or not, ubuntu's freeze date is and has historically been about two months before release.

    if the 2 year cycle between lts is too long for someone, they don't have to stay on that ride.

  • Kubuntu 26.04 LTS (Resolute Raccoon) Released

    Jump

  • just a reminder, kubuntu uses a different installer than ubuntu--one that offers btrfs (timeshift compatible configuration) out-of-the-box, as well as a choice of install type.

    the 'minimal' option is not much more than the base kde environment. no snaps, no snapd installed. hell, it doesn't even have a web browser (instructions for mozilla's own repository is here
