Bitnami just killed off their free Docker images and I'm scrambling
I've been using Bitnami images for years in my homelab setup, mostly for stuff like PostgreSQL and Redis because they were straightforward and kept up with security patches without much hassle. Now Broadcom decides to pull the plug on the free tier and shove everything behind a paywall? It's frustrating as hell, especially since a lot of my deployments rely on these pulls not failing out of nowhere. I've got a couple of weeks to fix this before things start breaking. Anyone got solid alternatives for these? I'm looking at official images but worried about the CVE counts spiking. What's everyone switching to?

Ubuntu Studio for music production?
I found an old laptop that I wanna transform into a portable workstation for creative works. I found Ubuntu Studio as a lighter weight OS geared towards creativity, and with my minimal Linux experience, is it worthwhile? Does anyone have experience using it with music software like audio workstations? Do I have to do a lot of tricky stuff to get it to work? And how does compatibility fare? Thanks.

Over 10 years of using Linux, and I think I'm done
Not in the way of "I'm done with Linux", oh no no. It's just...
I think in the life of every Linux person (or maybe it appeals to other hobbies/passions) there comes a time, when you're just simply DONE. Done reinstalling the system every couple of weeks. Done finding the best, newest trend there is. Done spending hours and hours troubleshooting and fixing issues with your extremely customized setup. Done scouring the forums and Reddit looking for answers on why this absolute newest, bleeding edge RC kernel is causing you problems. Just DONE.
I've been distrohopping since I can remember. I had a brief year of using Arch (but not really, I was hopping between all Arch-based distros), then about a year or two using Fedora, but still trying out everything new that was coming out. I was in awe with all the new and shiny.
But now I'm in my 30s. I don't have time, nor headspace to wonder if my system will boot today, if the update won't break anything, if this new kernel won't cause me some weird, unexplainable issues. My OS has to boot and get out of my way. It's my terminal to the work, not my work.
So here I am. Writing this on Waterfox (basically Firefox ESR) from Linux Mint 22.1 with LTS kernel, installed on absolutely ridiculously powerful gaming machine. Do I care if I don't get new bells and whistles that come with newer kernels, newer DE versions, newer Firefox releases? No. I absolutely do not. I value the fact, that in about a year of having this Mint installation, I have NEVER had to reinstall it or fix anything. It just works. I feel no incentive to change anything here. I even use the default theming.
So, what's your story? Am I the only one, who came up to this mindset? Or maybe there are more of us? I leave the comments to you.

Switching to Linux - A comprehensive guide
I’ve been seeing a lot of people wanting to switch to GNU/Linux(shortly just Linux) recently, owing to various reasons including Windows 10 EOL, forced integration of AI tools, screenshot spying, bloatware, etc. and I thought I’d make a comprehensive guide based on my experience.
Please feel free to correct me when I’m mistaken and add inputs/suggestions.
Hope it helps.

Been using Linux for 20 years, this is my story.
I pick a mainstream distro that “just works”, then I forget about it and just use my computer.
I might revisit my decision in 4 or 5 years if my system needs a wiping or the OS reached EoL and/or has trouble updating to the latest version… or maybe not.
The end.

Linus Torvalds Marks Bcachefs As Now "Externally Maintained"
Linus Torvalds has finally come to a decision following his plans to part ways with the Bcachefs file-system and then not merging any Bcachefs updates for Linux 6.17.
Been using Linux for 26 years, this is my story.
Switched from horrible inoperative systems, to something called "Linux" a friend told me, tried a few distros from floppy disks, tried Debian Potato and stayed with Debian Woody, configured my screen modelines in order to make the graphical system work, didn't like the window managers so I came back to the pure console, liked the Knoppix technology concept but didn't like the graphical experience (again), so I ended up developing my own distro - "because in Linux you can"
And this has been already 20 years of Elive Linux
