#SURF will be handing out a new laptop model for employees. So I was asked if I could check if #Linux would run on it. I first checked if it was an Ubuntu Certified laptop. That was the case. Then I installed #Ubuntu on it and everything worked OOTB. Which is really cool because now the service desk will be handing out laptops that are checked beforehand if they run Linux which will save employees the frustration of having to figure out themselves how to get it running properly.

Hiya! I'm an over-the-road #trucker, originally from the #Midwest. I'm gay as fuck, (still) single as fuck. When I'm not criss-crossing the country, I like to explore #technology (I'm a #Mac, but also #Ubuntu,) eat lots of comfort food, take in a #baseball or #hockey game, and other random things including visiting #Canada often. I'm a bit reserved and #introverted, and like to enjoy things at my own pace. I'm trying. I sometimes pretend I'm a #coyote. #introduction

I take so many screenshots. My keyboard doesn't have a print screen button so I had to remap screen shot to control + home

Really is wild how much little memory Ubuntu uses.

bon sinon Masto qui est fort en #linux et #ubuntu j'ai un souci.
J'essaie d'utiliser yabridge pour utiliser des VSTs windaube via Wine dans #reaper Ca fonctionne dans l'ensemble, mais y a des problèmes d'UI sur l'affichage, ce qui est quand même pas mal handicapant. Le problème vient a priori de la version de wine-staging qui est installée.
J'ai suivi les étapes d'installation et j'ai installé wine-staging comme demandé (https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge) seulement ça installe la version 11. Je voudrais revenir à la version 9.21 (https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge?tab=readme-ov-file#downgrading-wine), comme recommandé. Seulement je n'arrive pas à faire ça.
Visiblement la version 9.21 n'est plus dans les dépôts (?).
Quelqu'un aurait une idée de comment downgrader ?
Je suis débutant, et pas très à l'aise avec les make/build etc.

le repouet encourage à ne plus faire de #MAO sur Windows. :)

Hey, vous voyez ce que je vois ? C'est l'écran du lecteur de carte qui gère l'entrée d'une des déchèteries de Nancy 😁

On dirait une bien vieille version, genre avant Gnome Shell. Non ?

In Ubuntu 24.04, if LibreOffice Writer looks hideous, like a Windows 98 program, do this:

$ sudo apt install libreoffice-gtk3 libreoffice-gtk4

... and upon relaunch the interface will look modern and sleek. Why it's not by default is beyond me.

@rysiek i was talked into dualbooting #linux a decade ago by my then 11-yo student.

an 11-yo. running #ubuntu and #libreoffice like nobody's business. a decade ago.

i guess he was too busy doing the homework i gave him to notice #foss is "unintuitive".

OKAY. back to windows it is. Installing KDE on ubuntu and it being super laggy and then trying to uninstall it has my my Ubuntu no longer loading a UI at all. it's just a console input.

I tried. now I probably just need to reinstall Ubuntu to get back to a baseline.

#ubuntu

hmmmm okay I tried to install KDE on ubuntu.... but I did it on X11 instead of wayland?? when I switch to wayland on the login screen and login it's not KDE though.. and trying to reinstall it doesn't do much.

also KDE is super laggy and runs badly.

#ubuntu

TBH I don't really understand what gnome is. I guess it's the UI ubuntu uses?

but the Dash To Panel gnome extension feels great as someone who is coming from windows.
