It's time to talk #migration. At #FOSDEM, "The Great Migration" explores why now is the moment to push for #Linux desktops across governments and institutions. Politics, cost, sovereignty; it's all on the table. #Endof10 #openSUSE #opensource https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/PHKFZF-great-migration/

Hello #Linux people 🐧 from #Edinburgh, #Scotland and beyond! 💖
Anyone interested in trying their hand at in Dell Inspiron 7373?* I've tried various distros / GRUB (and other) things but I could not get the sleep mode working.
Would be willing to give it away for free if someone would use it with Linux (though I'm tight on money, so any 💸 would be appreciated).

A mountain of discarded PCs is a wake-up call. These machines still work and can run #Linux. Public institutions must stop wasting money on forced upgrades and embrace #opensource alternatives. #EndOf10 #openSUSE https://news.opensuse.org/2026/01/12/software-policies-can-fuel-waste/

Hat hier eigentlich schon jemand ein schönes *einfaches* Poster welches ich in einen Kundenstopper tun kann wenn ich beim Reparatur Café versuche den Leuten den Umstieg auf Linux schmackhaft zu machen?
Es muss für DAU sein. Und auf deutsch. Ich erwarte ein Publikum, dass nicht weiß, was ein OS ist.
Gib's da schon was?

I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows
https://www.theverge.com/features/861968/year-using-linux
> One year on Linux, two distros, a few tears, four desktop environments, and zero regrets about leaving Windows.
2 distros and 4 DEs, well I guess there were a bit more than a few tears. Ending with Fedora and KDE which is what I install at install party.
