I am trying to learn and become proficient in Linux. We use RHEL a decent amount at my work and I know a minimal amount. I have Rocky Linux at home to play around with as well. 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.

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

To be continued

Thanks Linux, I can use my Bluetooth Headphones again

I've been using Linux for a couple months now, and something I keep thinking about to this day, is that I can finally use my wireless headphones on my laptop again.

Sounds like something so simple, or at least it should be, but when I was on Windows I just couldn't get them to work.
Ok, I may be lying, my old wireless headphones used to work fine, I used them a lot to play, but someday they just started to sound like shit, it was like hearing everything from a phone call. When I went to the game settings, my headphones were labeled as "hands-free" now for some reason, and of course it was the same on the Windows settings.

I did everything in my power to fix this, I deleted drivers, reinstalled them, deactivated the device, deactivated the "hands-free service", reactivated them. I spent hours and hours looking online if someone had the same problem, I tried solutions given on the official Microsoft forum, I even reinstalled Windows, but nothing worked. Someday I fixed them somehow doing a lot of messy stuff that I couldn't even remember, but after rebooting my PC the problem was there again, I just gave up, I could only use my headphones on my phone. Someday I just ended up buying new headphones thinking the problem was fixed, "Maybe the old headphones were the problem", but nothing changed.

When I tried Linux, I didn't even think about those for a couple days, I was used to not being able to use them on my laptop, but one day I remembered and I gave it a shot, And they just worked! I was so happy, it was that easy, just connect them and use them, is that simple.

Maybe I'm overthinking it? Idk, I think things should work as intended, if I plug headphones to my PC, I should be able to hear sound using them, right? Is not that complicated. And thanks Linux for not using 6gb of Ram on idle. Thank you for reading 👍

Nouveau is... actually really good now???

Last time i used Nouveau (Fedora 40 i believe), Nouveau kinda sucked, atleast for me. Dont get me wrong, its a good project and i wanted to support it, but it just didnt do the trick for me. Now? Its freaking amazing!! NVK is one of the best open source projects ever! Thanks a lot for every hand that coded this amazing project!!! (Also, dont get me wrong, i never hated this project)
