At our local library doing an introduction to GNU/Linux presentation. Had an old donated HP laptop with 4 GB of memory waiting for me and it now has a fresh install of Mint Xfce. Woot!

If you’re on Linux, there’s a good chance you use GNOME: it’s the default experience across Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora Workstation, Endless OS, and more. If you’re on another desktop, you still likely use components developed by GNOME contributors—or maybe you get apps from Flathub.

Think Linux desktop market share isn't over 6%? This 15 million-system scan says otherwise

The #Linux desktop has finally taken off.
Not only did I exit Apple in February (My first computer in 1993 and all since were Apple made) I've started a program at my local library to help others exit big tech, save money and continue using older hardware. Computing without #Apple, #Google, #Microsoft is entirely possible. Using #GNU#Linux#FreeSoftware has been a better #computing experience.
We can help one another do this. We do actually have a choice. They do not get to control everything. Make the effort.

So what are everyone’s excuses for Tim Cook’s behavior this time?
Wake up. He’s an overt Trump supporter, and has been the entire time.
Computing is entirely possible without them. It takes a bit of effort to detangle from iCloud, etc but it's well worth it.
GNU/Linux is much better than I'd previously thought. It's actually been fantastic.
Get real about it. And begin a real migration away from their products. It's totally doable. I started in February and Apple went from my only hardware/OS to my back-up. Paid iCloud is now free base iCloud. All data local. The others are no better.
WE/YOU can take real control of your computing.
@tekphloyd I've written a series on the process of migrating from Apple to GNU/Linux. Apple users seem to have a very out-of-date perspective of the quality of the Free Software ecosystem. I know I did.
Not only is it doable but in the end users not only save a lot of money but have far more control over their data and their computing life. Honestly, it feels fantastic to be free of their shit.
Avec la fin du support de Windows 10 par Microsoft, j'ai décidé de passer sous #Linux (#ArchLinux), bah c'est beaucoup plus facile que je pensais, si vous voulez faire pareil (si c'est pas deja fait) et que vous hesitez, dites vous que vous avez réussi à comprendre Mastodon

Thanks to @s3phy again for helping me understand another area where IPv6 is broken in Linux desktop networking configuration tools: connecting to a SSH server to create a SOCKS proxy using the NetworkManager SSH plugin. That thing only checks if the gateway address is a valid IPv4 address 
I reported the issue here: https://github.com/danfruehauf/NetworkManager-ssh/issues/130

I have tried everything:

Can somebody who understands this stuff help me?
