Can any desktop #Linux users offer recommendations for a low- to mid-grade image editing program? I'm looking to replace Paint.NET when I migrate from Windows. I want something with multi-layer capability, effects, etc., but let's face it, I'm not a professional artist; I'll mostly be using it to stitch together memes.

I know of That Program Whose Name Is a Slur. I'm dubious about it partly because of that, and also bc I've heard its UI is awful. There are better options, right?

#LinuxHelp

Advice needed: I want to set up #Linux Kiosk PCs. Users must log in with a card ID and password that are verified via a PHP webservice against a MariaDB.

The challenge: I need the Linux desktop login (e.g., via a Display Manager like LightDM/GDM) to authenticate against the custom remote service.

How can I implement this? Custom PAM module? Python-pam? Scripts?🤔

#Authentication #webservice
#PHP #Sysadmin #Python #foss #OpenSource

throwing a handful of hashtags on top of this thread for visibility's sake... hopefully snarky "reply guy" comments will be kept to a minimum *sweats

thanks, y'all!

Can’t connect to public WiFi via Linux

I am using Fedora 42, and I am unable to access the captive portal of inOui TGV. I can connect to the WiFi with no problems, but I can’t get access to the Internet.

I have tried everything:

1. Connecting to 192.168.1.1, to http://neverssl.com, to http://wifi.sncf via browser
2. Running sudo dhclient -r and rebooting the device
3. Running systemctl restart NetworkManager
4. Also other stuff I tried in the past with other public WiFis. I am sure there is something wrong with my specific device configuration, it’s not this network.

Nothing works 😩

Can somebody who understands this stuff help me?
