Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka is now available with the Linux 6.17 kernel and GNOME 49 desktop. It uses Wayland only by default, and brings suspend & resume support for NVIDIA's graphics driver. https://9to5linux.com/ubuntu-25-10-questing-quokka-is-now-available-for-download-this-is-whats-new #Ubuntu #Linux
Which distribution of #Linux is the most similar to #Windows and works from scratch, without needing to use the command line? Does that even exist?
Context: I have mostly used Windows my whole life, but I'd like to use #win10eol to move some of my computers to Linux. I have tried Linux before (mostly #Ubuntu) and kept having problems, whether big or small, that wasted a lot of my time. I want to try again but do not have time to try dozens of Linux distributions. I know that if it works like Windows (i.e. same keyboard shortcuts, same settings), it will probably work for me. Any suggestions? 🙏
@hexaheximal I'm sold 😅 https://ersei.net/en/blog/niri
@hexaheximal gotta hand it to you, it's been a long time since I wanted to try something enough to compile it myself.
FWIW the dependency hell on #Ubuntu / #PopOS 22.04 only went as deep as: #Niri -> libinput; the rest was up-to-date enough to come straight from Synaptic.

This has modern #linux problem been annoying me for so long...
Under a Wayland session in #Ubuntu 24.04 my keyboard is en-US but under X11 its en-GB (which is correct)
I have searched, even asked Gemini and done everything (including XKB, XBB, gsettings etc ) but can not find a solution to set my Wayland session en-GB as default or even change it once logged in.
Its deeply annoying, any help or pointers would be great

I was going through a backup of files (tedious job 😅) when I came across my old Ubuntu comics, I remember making them for the magazine but they were all rejected if I remember correclty, or maybe one made it? I don't know, any way, the funny thing is that now that I don't thinker much with my PC, I really forgot many of these terms I was making fun of 😄,
I have about 20 of these.
And yes, "El Criollos" was for a little bit my nickname 😄

🦀 Ubuntu 25.10's Move To Rust Coreutils Is Causing Major Breakage For Some Executables - Phoronix
｢ Sure enough, once replacing #Rust #Coreutils with GNU Coreutils on #Ubuntu 25.10, the same exact files now ran successfully without MD5 errors. Looks like some subtle differences between md5sum from GNU Coreutils and Rust Coreutils is breaking files from at least Makeself ｣

@seanbala @filen @fedora @gnome My main worry is that removing it will cause some problem with my laptop that me, as someone with limited tech skills, can't fix!
Using #LinuxMint and #Ubuntu. For files been using @syncthing and just keeping things locally.
@sjvn Just gave my 12-year-old #Apple #MacBook Pro a fresh life with Linux Mint. 🚀
On newer machines I go for #Ubuntu, but here I happily skipped #GNOME and went for #KDE. Smooth, fast, and still rocking ~2h battery life. Proof that old hardware can shine again! 💻✨

Which alternative to Ubuntu?
I feel like Snap packaging takes too much resources on disk, and may be on CPU.
#ubuntu
@Tutanota @GrapheneOS on Pixel 8 - no more Google malware. An other good choice may be #Volla phone https://volla.online/en/index.php with #Ubuntu touch. If #Chatcontrol will come at #EU, any messaging app will be dead if its source code is not available.
