I would argue:

2022 was the year of the Linux Handheld 2026 will be the year of the Linux Console (putting my hopes on SteamMachine)

Now the year of the Linux Desktop is a finicky definition by tradition. To me its a personal distinction. Whenever Linux replaced* your previous desktop OS is YOUR year of the Linux Desktop.

* replaced is also not discreet but more of when you felt you replaced your Desktop

I had used duckdns for a while back in the day. Always worked great.

These days I have a domain at namecheap which provides a DynDNS feature as well so I’m using that.

And around here a lot of leftist spaces enable you to have fun while spending little to nothing. Dirty punk concerts for a low cover charge and beer almost as cheap as in the store. And most of not all of those prices are “pay less if you can’t afford it”.

Other than that if agree with other commenters. Knowing spaces/people to hang at/with. I’m perfectly fine spending time in my one bedroom if I’m not alone all the time there so having some friends over, even if it might be crammed, and just shooting the shit is a simple and affordable way to have a good time

No.

I’m an anarchist. I organize with Anti-authoritarian Communist though since most anarchist here are batshit 😅

The […] train […] left Sankt Poelten on time but arrived in Vienna with a seven minute delay

They had a 7 minute delay after performing an emergency stop and pulling someone inside.

Deutsche Bahn trains are 7 minutes delayed if everything works as planned

My first thought seeing this headline was “who cares I’m using Linux anyway” … My second thought was "Well I’m probably gonna start working in a mixed environment again soon and I’ll be the one who’ll have to disable Recall for the Users … So good to know

I’m biased, but Type F

Yup that’s my way to go.

Revanced on my phone for watching quick videos/on the go and SmartTube on the TV. If I find a longer video to watch I usually start it in Revanced and then play it from history in SmartTube

As someone who’s installed arch manually back in the day way before archinstall was a thing I tend to agree. Putting together your own install and seeing how everything fits together, to me, is the point of arch. If anything breaks I know what too lol at since I put it together myself and now how it goes together.

However sometimes we might need to reflect on gatekeeping and just because “back in my day we didn’t have a fancy script to help you” we might still let people use it for their first install (or let them use a arch based distro to get started)

I never use the “App Menu” on my laptop I don’t even have any favorites.

I hit the super button (windows key) to open the app overview and type the first few letters and hit enter.

So e.g. SUPER fi Enter Firefox opens with just 4 key strokes in 1 second

Well as someone who’s been using gnome since about 3.10 I might be able to explain my view:
Before that I’ve used plasma and Unity and a whole lot of Mate but then I started using Gnome for a pretty and smooth experience right out of the Box.
Now I’ve simply been using it for so long that it’s muscle memory all the way.
I don’t agree with everything the gnome devs decide and I definitely am annoyed that I have to use extension for small things that should just be a toogle in the settings but I’ve realized some time ago that if I did switch to plasma I would use all the customizability to make it work like Gnome … so I stay on Gnome.

Oh no! I’d have to leave the room for that. I cringe way to hard every time anyone (or even I myself) gets a window into option 1.5 it feels like things are about to break very bad.

Interesting. Been an Arch user for about 12 years now. Your posts made me curious to check my forum post history. I have 4 Topics I started where I never got any reply or the only reply is from myself stating that I found a solution and what it is. Then I have 3 Topics where people actually engaged with me, asked for some more info gave some tips and pushed me in the right direction.

For the uninitiated

You know who used to do that? Microsoft Teams. I would take photos with my phone and upload them via Teams, Teams would display them just fine but saving them teams would name them .png (even though they were jpeg) and I couldn’t open them with the gnome image viewer (this is also how I found out that the image viewer prioritizes extension over magic byte (which seems stupid to me).

For me (southern Germany) Pfannkuchen (literal translation is Pancake) is what OP showed. Thin rollable dough-circle. American Pancakes are just called Pancakes (in english)

Also Berliner are called Berliner not “Krapfen” and definitely not Pfannkuchen (as some weirdos would imply)

Have you tried gpodder? It basically does what it says on the tin it plays podcasts (and you can subscribe to them etc.) and if you have gpodder on desktop and a gpodder compatible app (like AntennaPod) on you phone it will not only sync over your subscriptions but even you listening status, so you can just pick up where you left off.

Honestly I just use AntennaPod on Android. I’ve used Gpodder Desktop before but I don’t really listen to podcasts on desktop… So I don’t really need the sync but it’s nice to have especially if you’re moving phones/OS

Regarding AntennaPod it’s honestly the perfect podcast app it does everything (chapters/chapter images …) I want from a podcast app and it’s open source

My selfhosted Nextcloud does:

• Cloud storage (including photo storage)
• Contact/Calendar/Task Sync (DAV Droid)
• Notes
• Podcast subscription and progress sync (gpodder)

While I use OSMAnd for offline navigation MAPS is still my go-to for navigation/discovering places.

My phone is currently running stock Android
