But its software freeze was a couple of months ago.

This is the one where most core-utils are switched to rust based uutils, right?

Or did they roll that decision back after some not being done in time?

Sure. But you have to figure that out first.

I'm just saying. It's not for everyone. I feel too limited when trying immutable stuff, so I stick with my classic. 😀

But a simple thing like "install a random cli tool to run on host" is often not easy on immutable distros, so it's usually just more convinient with an oldschool distro in those cases.

To be honest. Immutable distros are not for everyone. Tinkerers especially would not be suited to use them, because of all the "restrictions" in place.

Better to find another distro in that case.

I believe it also generates menu entries (.desktop files) for them.

My biggest concern with such an approach, is that companies will be more likely to choose a not completely open source licens, just to get around this. Like a code-available licens and argue that it counts as open source and should therefore be excluded.

I'll do you one better. Why's Facebook?

Wouldn't Finamp do this for you?

It's noted in the release notes that they release a new major version every 3 months.

To be honest, I'm for this change.

To often have I pressed the back button and not actually gone back to the page I was on before, like I intended.

What OS do they maintain? Linux is not an OS, but a kernel that powers many different OS's, even Android.

 

Not properly released on kernel.org yet, but 7.0 has been tagged on the kernel git repository.

 

Just found this today.

Someone started making an activitypub enabled alternative to LinkedIn.

You can use your existing fediverse account, log in, set your job title, experience, education etc.

It's pretty new, so not a lot using it yet. Not even any jobs posted yet. ;)

Disclaimer: It does look like it's mostly written by an AI bot.

 

This seems to be a pretty great release.

If they are to be believed:

  • Federated chat using Nextcloud Talk
  • Performance optimizations for most things
  • Circles enhanced to Teams with lots of new features
  • Assistant 2.0 brings new AI features for productivity

I'm most hyped about the performance improvements. 😁

 

My work place is a Microsoft shop through and through, so all their stuff is based in Azure, Active Directory, Outlook, O365 and Citrix. And they provide my with a Windows laptop for work, which is really great.

The only issue I have with it, is the Windows part. So I took it upon myself to see if I can use a Linux install for work in a Windows environment. So I took my already installed private Linux laptop to work and it seemed to be going alright, expect that it's an old laptop at this point, so the GPU was not good enough to run the screens and the Bluetooth version was to old for the peripherals.

So this weekend I took the plunge. I cloned the Windows drive with CloneZilla (in case of emergency, you know) and installed Arch Linux on my work laptop as the only OS.

And so far, everything has worked. Except for 1 small detail that I totally forgot about! Printing. Specifically label printing, as we do ship some stuff around the country. The printer in question is a Zebra label printer G420-something and is set up on the internet Windows network at work.

I've been at work all day and I haven't been able to setup this printer at all.

This is mostly a rant and acknowledgement that running Linux in a Windows work environment is possible, but it's also a small whimper for help to see if anyone has managed to be able to connect to a network Windows printer.

I've setup a default Samba and Avahi system, but it won't "probe" for the printer. I don't know the exact name/hostname/IP of the printer either.

 

It really has...
