Klingt nach viel Idee und Motivation aber ich versteh nicht wie "ja" oder "nein" (daumen hoch, daumen runter?) sie verbessern sollen.
Wir brauchen perspektivwechsel.
Logische Fehler müssen aufgezeigt werden und Aussagen dann nicht bewertet sondern als ungültig gekennzeichnet werden.
Es müssen Fakten von Meinungen getrennt werden, und der Grad an "Meinung" in einer Aussage muss gekennzeichnet sein.
Dann kann man rational reden.
Richtig gut, dass auch Religion nicht immer alt und verblendet sein muss.
The Term
The issue is that, no Ubuntu is not "the Windows" of Linux.
First of all this statement makes no sense. You could say "the Samsung of the Android world" as Samsung Android is a Distribution that looks nice and many people think it is nice to use (leaving out that it is the most spyware-riddled software on locked devices with horrible customer treatment)
Windows is just one OS. Android is an easy variant of Linux, and Ubuntu was one too.
Nowadays, uBlue Aurora/Bazzite would be my "best Desktop Linux", because they implement all the great, easy and modern stuff of Fedora Atomic Desktops, while also removing stupid opinionated things, and adding packages they legally simply cannot ship.
Updates & Upgrades
Ubuntu is not easy anymore. Distro upgrades are a mess and break. I had 12 laptops, all had the same 3 issues and updates took forever.
Ubuntu requires a sudo account for them to even work, a nonsudoer gets an update message but clicking it does nothing.
I.e. they dont use polkit, unlike Fedora for example.The paradigm of
- Needing a user with sudo rights to use a system, otherwise an admin needs to login every week and do the GUI updates
- Updates and upgrades being a privileged action that requires root permission
Is just bad. Android works without root since forever, and I would say it is the easiest Linux distro out there.
Style
They have their own strange icons, which look worse than GNOMEs. They have their own strange store instead of using and improving GNOME Software.
Their design sucks in comparison to Manjaro if you ask me. Most personal point of this list. Many other Distros just ship GNOME, do the packaging and leave the Branding to small changes, and the upstream DE.
Snaps
Snaps are not cross platform, while Flatpak exists and is cross platform.
Ubuntu doesnt even have uptodate flatpak and dependencies in their repos so the Flatpak project maintains like 6 PPAs just to run them on Ubuntu.
Snaps are not cross platform because they rely on AppArmor for sandboxing, and afaik custom AppArmor patches that are not in upstream.
This means Snaps on Fedora and others would run Snaps unsandboxed.
Technically they are fine. Pretty normal approach. But their repo hat big malware issues and they only allow a single one, which is a total nogo for any opensource project.
Snaps installed by other users with sudo cannot be opened by other users. You need to install them per-user, no other option possible.
Flatpak requires wheel/sudo too, I need to make a Fedora Change request to fix that, my previous one got rejected...
Variants & LTS
They only ship KDE on the LTS variant, which means by now it is very outdated. KDE is the most windows-like desktop, and also has the most features, by far. I tried GNOME and made a writeup on Fedora discuss.
Bloat
They bloat (at least) their (LTS) variants with tons of deb packages.
Safety & Snapshots
They dont integrate timeshift or other backup systems. Linux Mint and OpenSUSE are better here. Fedora Atomic Desktops too, while traditional Fedora not.

Zusammen ändern wir das Hamburger Klimaschutzgesetz! Wenn wir jetzt handeln, erhalten wir unsere Lebensgrundlage und unser Zuhause: Hamburg
Hamburg hat ein Klimaschutzgesetz erlassen.
Aber das ist viel zu lasch!
Bei Jura geht es um feine Wortunterschiede, und schlaue Menschen haben sie gefunden, damit das Gesetz auch Wirkung bekommt.
Dafür wurde eine Volksinitiative gestartet, die 10.000 Stimmen sammeln sollte, um ein Volksbegehren zu stellen. Das hat sie mit über 23.000 locker geschafft.
Jetzt gibt es das Volksbegehren, dafür werden 70.000 Stimmen benötigt!
Nur dann wird es einen Volksentscheid geben, zur nächsten Bundestagswahl, in dem alle Hamburger*innen über unsere Zukunft abstimmen dürfen.
91% sind für einen nachhaltigen Umbau der Wirtschaft, sie dürfen nur nicht entscheiden!
Helft mit, das zu schaffen! Es ist extrem wichtig für alle, weil das Klimaschutzgesetz sonst einfach ignoriert und verschlafen werden kann!
Hier könnt ihr Unterschriftenzettel ausdrucken, die per Brief verschickt werden
Sammelt zusammen, in eurer ganzen Familie, lasst Freunde unterschreiben, verbreitet es in der Schule!
Lasst uns mit einer deutlichen Stimmenanzahl zeigen, dass wir es ernst meinen!
Die Gesetzesänderungen
Hamburg soll nicht versuchen, klimaneutral zu werden, sondern muss.
Und das nicht 2045, sondern 2040.
Der Prozess soll nicht 2030 überprüft werden, sondern sofort, jedes Jahr am 15.7.
Sind Fehler aufgetreten, müssen diese in 3 Monaten behoben werden, indem die richtigen Maßnahmen eingeleitet wurden.
Die Ziele sind pro Sektor, also können Sektoren ihr Versagen nicht einfach mit der Arbeit anderer ausgleichen.
All diese Punkte sind extrem wichtig!
May use a little more memory but may be fine. How do you do this? Ctrl+N always?
Yes I would love to have mail notifications etc for security updates.
Currently setting up a server, CentOS installer didnt boot so my lazy ass just rebased to securecore (Fedora IoT -> uBlue uCore -> secureblue) which is very nice but rolling.
With LUKS encryption, which I want and need, this is problematic, as I need to manually type the password afaik. TPM unlock didnt work even though I have a Nitrokey with a TPM integrated afaik.
Like a VM emulating their exact hardware? Didnt know that was a thing
Because they have Slowroll and working, automatic BTRFS snapshots.
I have no idea what dnf Fedora is doing, using BTRFS but no snapshots.
Would be fun to buy and host a good site on
I think Silverblue is the perfect distro for random computers you never manage.
Actually uBlue silverblue as they fix the like 5 issues there are, like an intelligent and actually automatic updater, flathub, drivers etc.
You can use dnf on OpenSuse, and it actually uses the correct /etc/dnf.repos.d !
zyppers UI is horrible, no idea at what internet speed those animations make sense, not on an even 2,4GHz wifi.
I used QGis as a Fedora Distrobox didnt install the language package, because it installs only the one from the OS. on Tumbleweed all languages were always installed, but it had some issue where no plugins worked or something.
Same with RStudio, which works creat with iucar/cran COPR and the R-CoprManager app that makes it use dnf underneath.
Rstudio should absolutely install them as libs though, into /var/lib. Then the Flatpak could be made working too I guess.
Edit: please just use KDE. LXQt is such a usability mess, I have no idea who actually uses this daily.
KDE needs a debloat but is really fast and pretty light.
The thing is package management, resettability, rebasing/redeploying with a config file, and avoiding config file creep.
I broke 10 distros before, and of course I also learned, but I simply didnt break Fedora Atomic Desktops in 2 years or so.
But I layer about 20 packages, which is not a really nice process on Atomic, while it works for sure.
Yeah mine is less beautiful but
alias off='shutdown -h now'
alias update='flatpak update -y ; flatpak remove --unused --delete-data -y ; distrobox upgrade --all ; rpm-ostree update'
alias upfin='update ; off'
My firmware is write-protected so fwupd is not in there.
I recently got a zipbomb + trojan through a Github comment. Was removed very quickly and unrecoverably, crazy that they can even so this, not even the repo owners see it anymore.
I had this thought.
Many IOT devices, including local devices like printers, streaming boxes, cameras etc. may be outdated.
Those may use Wifi but only support WPA2, which can be easily cracked using Kali Linux, a kernel module integrated in Kali, and aircrack.
Many of these devices have an Ethernet or at least USB jack. Ethernet will always work, USB over usb-tethering should work often.
Couldnt you just use a tiny sbc, with a wifi antenna and support for WPA3, and serve the connection via Ethernet or USB to the device?
Like a small plug-in adapter.
Should be rock stable and update atomically and automatically (waiting for you, CentOS bootc, Alma bootc, Rockylinux bootc).
Do you know if this exists or have some caveats in mind?

Hey guys!
I want to convert my now corebooted Thinkpad T430 into a Nextcloud server and possibly more (Syncthing, maybe Tor, maybe more)
1 500GB SSD, 1 1TB SSD
Currently runs Fedora Kinoite, I could rebase to something like secureblue uCore, Fedora IoT, uBlue uCore, ...
Not sure if those would have broken configs though.
Maybe I would prefer something with slower pace, but tbh the pace of CentOS bootc becoming a thing is quite frustrating. This would likely be the perfect 'install and forget' distro for many, a KDE Image would be there in no time.
I wouldnt want to use a traditional distro, even though a base Debian or AlmaLinux/ Rockylinux (what the hell was that of a hydra? Cut off one head, spawn 2? what are the differences??) could just be fine. I used Debian in the past, it really just works.
I would like
- Nextcloud AIO docker image, maybe with podman? It is supposedly more secure but the world runs on Docker, and all is fine. Podman is a pain quite often.
- some nice management like Cockpit
- dyn DNS, for example with NoIP, best free
- secure ssh, that should be no issue
- btrfs? or zfs? with backups to a secondary drive
- automatic updates with snapshot creation. Atomic system would be easiest here.
- easy to use and secure reverse proxy, with DynDNS for reliable address on the internet. NGINX, Traefik, Caddy, what is the best here??
Here I am not sure if I should use 1TB + 1TB, or 500GB used and 1TB backup. BTRFS backups can be incremental.
while I made a list of BTRFS tools I still have no idea what the best tool for this job is.
How to have separate session profiles in #KDEPlasma #Dolphin Easy concept, works perfectly fine, very simple. I love KDE Plasma. https://github.com/boredsquirrel/Linux/blob/main/Desktop%20Entries/org.kde.dolphin.desktop

Ich würde gerne meine Räume besser kontrollieren.
Temperatur und Wassersättigung ist sicher recht einfach, CO2 wahrscheinlich eher teurer oder ungenau.

Should be a very common issue
KeepassDX + KeepassXC, Android to Linux.
Synced with Syncthing.
I do a change on the password manager on one device and on another, Android killed Syncthing again so now I have 2 files, one called "sync conflict".
Both files have some new change, I need to keep both.
When using the import feature in KeepassXC, I think everything is duplicated. This would be the best place to do this.
Any idea how to merge them or at least show the diffs?
Displaying all entries, without folders, sorted by date, could also already help.
kinda-solution
In KeepassXC, bottom left, "all entries". Alternatively, search for "*".
Then sort by date.
This helps to compare the most recent changes, and copy them over to the want-to-keep version of the file.
This is a combo of 2 tricks.
Based off this german guide, a bit outdated and not suited for the Flatpak
Goal
a signature like
Firstname Lastname Role _____ <fancy logo> Company name Contact info including website and mail
This is probably really easy in Outlook, and kinda linux-y (bundling together parts that only make sense if you are a programmer) on Thunderbird.
1. The Sandbox
When attaching an image, Thunderbird Flatpak needs to have permanent access to that location.
By default it uses portals, so if you use "attach image" it will use some /run/doc/... folder that is gone after restarting the app.
For some reason, using the KDE Plasma Flatpak settings or Flatseal, granting the app access to a certain location, doesnt work, even if you use the real location of the image.
So instead:
- Create a directory in the internal Flatpak's folder
mkdir ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/SIGNATURE
- Copy the attachment image there (company logo etc.)
- Copy the path to the image (for example in KDE Dolphin, no idea about GNOME)
2. The HTML Signature
Just write a new mail (Ctrl+N) and write exactly your signature in there.
You dont need the
> > -- >
As that is automatically inserted below the last line.
Add the picture, but replace the path with the real path, not the /run/doc/... one of the portal.
Then the image is inserted, you can resize it.
Now instead of sending, in the menu under "File" use "Save to..." and instead of .eml use .html.
If you want to add a clickable mail address, in the mail compose toolbar, behind the "picture icon" there is a menu, select the "link" icon.
You can add a normal http/https link there. But using mailto:name@server.com you can make it a clickable mail link!
(Whoever needs that in a mail)
3. Sandbox again.
Save that file to the same ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/SIGNATURE folder.
4. Account settings
Navigate to these settings, in the first page of your account, instead of writing your signature, use "use HTML file".
Select the file or paste the exact ~/.var/app/... location in there, again, dont use the portal.
---
Done!
Once figured out it makes sense. That directory in the Flatpaks storage will not be deleted or interrupt anything. So this is a clean way.
flatpak remove --delete-data thunderbird would purge that entire folder and all it's contents.
Rasierhobel
Die klassischen Rasierhobel bekommen ein Comeback, und sind mittlerweile "zero waste Klassiker".
Ich habe 2 verschiedene, einen von Gilette, den schönen mit Bambusgriff gibts von verschiedenen Anbietern mit verschiedenen Namen.
Die einfachen mit einer zentralen Schraube sind eventuell haltbarer als die mit einer komplexeren Aufklapp-Mechanik.
Die Schraube sollte man evtl manchmal fetten, da hier ja oft Feuchtigkeit reinkommt. Hier kann man Fahrrad-Lagerfett benutzen, oder einfach irgendetwas.
Die Klingen sind billig, und das Rasieren funktioniert top. Ab und zu tauschen.
Flexible Köpfe und schmalere Rasierer etc sind eventuell bei konkaven Flächen wie Achseln oder Schambereich besser. Da sollte man sich aber oft sowieso nicht rasieren, wenn man Juckreiz vermeiden will ;)
Zungenschaber / -reiniger
Eine neuere Empfehlung sind Zungenschaber aus Edelstahl.
Es gibt verschiedene Modelle, dieses hat einen rechteckigen Blechstreifen, der extrem gut alles von der Zunge schabt.
Es ist krass, was man damit wegbekommt.
Durch das Edelstahl bleibt es lange "scharf" (rechteckig) und lässt sich fast schon steril reinigen.
Es gibt 3 gängige Modelle, aber nur eins taugt etwas.
Die beiden rechten hier sind nur ca. 30% so effektiv, sehen hübsch aus aber sind komplett sinnlos. Man muss sehr viel mehr rumkratzen, absolut nervig!
Ich suche eine Uhr mit folgenden Eigenschaften
- recht klein, angenehm zum schlafen (bin da sehr empfindlich, trage selbst Uhren deswegen kaum)
- akkurate Herzfrequenz/Puls und evtl. Blutdruck
- einfache Technik
- Verbindung zu Smartphone über Bluetooth oder USB-c
- keine Internetfunktion, keine Sorgen
- App sollte komplett ohne Internet gehen
- App sollte ohne Play Services und auf GrapheneOS funktionieren
Optional:
- lange Akkulaufzeit (muss absolut nicht sein)
- andere Features
Verwendung: Schlafqualität messen, anzeigen lassen. Sport und Puls bei Anstrengung ist glaube ich weniger relevant und anfälliger für Fehler.
Quellen
Den Youtube-Kanal "The Quantified Scientist" habe ich gefunden. Ein deutscher Bio-Student, der Smartwatches testet.
Er bewertet die Genauigkeit vieler Uhren sehr genau und wissenschaftlich, jedoch sind ihm die anderen Faktoren ziemlich egal.
Ergebnis
Das Xiaomi Mi Band 8 soll mittlerweile das beste der Serie fürs Sleep Tracking sein.
Zudem scheint mindestens ein Gadgedbrige-Entwickler es zu haben, denn die Xiaomi-Band Unterstützung wurde daran getestet. Gadgetbridge ist eine OpenSource App zur Verbindung mit Smartwatches, und hat sogar wirklich viele coole Funktionen, inklusive Schlaftracking.
Man kann sie sehr günstig kaufen. Die App wird wohl zur ersten Einrichtung benötigt, mal sehen wie invasiv das ist. Ab da geht Gadgetbridge alleine.
Update
Das Mi Band 8 funktioniert super mit Gadgetbridge. Auf der Website wird bald eine aktualisierte Anleitung sein.
Es hat viele coole Funktionen, Schlaftracking ist beim Tiefschlaf okay, erkennt Schlaf aber schnell als zu leicht und damit zu viel REM Schlaf.
Wetter-Synchronisation mit KleineWettervorschau geht auch top! Genauso wie Musik-Steuerung, Handy finden, intelligentes Wecken (wenn der Puls höher ist), stoppuhr, taschenlampe, schrittezähler usw.
Ohne permanenten Druck ist Pulsmessung wohl immer eine Herausforderung, da es mit Licht geht, und das dann beim Verrutschen oft ganz falsche Ergebnisse bringt.
