KDE is best Desktop Environment - Change my mind

I tried variety of DEs - GNOME/Xfce/Lxde.. but KDE beats them all. Simple things like

touchpad scroll speed adjustment, - is a simple UI slider (compare that to multiple commands on terminal for GNOME)
ease of multi monitor setup,
changing the wifi band to 5GHz was as simple as a few UI clicks. (simpler than windows!)
No bloat of a "top bar" that you have to use an extension to auto hide (and is super glitchy).
Taskbar that supports clean auto hide (even windows auto hide for the task bar is jittery)
Rarely have to open terminal for doing stuff - almost everything is available in GUI configs.

It lets me focus on my work and when I do open a terminal it is for my development work - and not to fix OS stuff!

I'm never going back to any other DE.

KDE Forever!

Detect spyware

I had this friend who was obsessed with me and several times he was alone in my room with my laptop unlocked when I would go to the toilet. He's been using linux for a long time so I'm worried he quickly managed to download something in my laptop to spy on me.

VoLTE - Linux Smartphone in Germany

According to this https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/billie/

>Calling over VoLTE is not supported, please check that this is not a requirement in your country.

As far as I can tell by searching the web, VoLTE is quite necessary in Germany. 3G has been disabled in 2021, 5G is mostly available, but 4G still seems to be the standard, while 2G is for emergencies. I don't feel confident with my research though.

I mostly use Smartphones for doing calls, text messages and threema/signal/telegram and the occasional internet research (I typically use way less then 1GB data per month).

Do all mobiles use VoLTE for normal calls?
Does anybody use a linux phone in Germany and can share their experience?

Practical vi Commands that has helped me so far

I have put together a simple guide to vi commands that actually helped me all these years when editing configs or noscripts on Linux.
Short, practical, and focused on real examples.

Let me know if I have missed some..would love to take feedbacks and make it an exhaustive list!

What's going on with the dislike of Ubuntu/Canonical?

Basically the noscript. I have been using Ubuntu Cinnamon for awhile for both school and home use (gaming, programming, vr, game dev, etc) and it seems to be a very well maintained, functional, and stable distro with good support through .deb packages for printers n such, and the apt repository seems well checked and stable. It also seems to have good peripheral drivers built in. Seemed a little silly for it to not include flatpack by default but thats easily fixed. Overall though, I am still a relative newcomer to Linux and haven't been in the community that much until recently, so I am a lil out of the loop.

SNMP on Linux stats without running the service.

Greetings,

Over 30 years ago (man I feel old), I had set up SNMP on Linux with Nagios and RRDTool.

While SNMP is hardly used anymore on Linux it had a lot of metrics that it collected, which was super useful for sending stats to either Nagios or RRDTool at the time.

Is there anything else out of the box that has a large set of monitors on Linux?

What are your favourite Linux out of the box metrics collection tools?

Best distros for older hardware?

So, I recently came into possession of some of my late girlfriend's things. Including an old Toshiba Satellite. I'm having trouble cracking into it, although using a live boot drive I managed to view at least the saved files. But, I'd still like to learn how to get into it eventually. Until that time, I've made a small project out of this little laptop. I've torn it down, wiped away some grime, repasted the chips, and swapped out the disk drive with my deceased gfs data on it for a sata SSD drive. It only has one ram slot filled so when I get the $10-20 I'll be getting another stick.

Anyway, I'm trying to push this little guy to perform it's absolute best it can. Maybe use it as a living room media PC. I have limited experience with Linux so I was wondering what distro people recommend? She used Lubutu and that's the live boot I tried using. It didn't seem the most intuitive to me but, what do I know haha?

The specs on the machine;
CPU: AMD Athlon Neo x2 L325
Graphics: Radeon HD 3200
RAM: Samsung 2GB 800mhz DDR2 SDRAM

The new drive is a 500GB Western Digital blue 3Dnand sata SSD.

I'd like to create a GUI that uses cryptsetup for creating, mounting, and unmounting luks containers

Using cryptsetup you can create luks containers, however running the individual commands is a bit cumbersome. This guide does a good job of explaining how to do it: https://michaelwaterman.nl/2025/10/14/secure-luks-container-on-linux/

But I think it would be helpful to have a GUI that simplifies this for you. I'd like to build one, it would be pretty similar to veracrypt but a much more light weight version that just uses the cryptsetup package and strictly just for managing luks containers.

What I plan to do is make a GTK app with C, because cryptsetup actually uses libcryptsetup, which is written in C. This way I can use the api directly.

Does anyone have any advice for this project? Please no obvious ones like "make sure it is safe and manages privileges correctly".

Safe boot

This is just a general discussion about a train of thought I have today. Yesterday i installed some software to try and disable extra keys on my mouse because i constantly press them by accident. After installing (and uninstalling) multiple packages i finally got it to work. Everything seemed fine until i rebooted.

Arch wouldn't boot, could not access tty's. The only lead i had were the changes i made the day before and my numlock flashing. I made a cachy-os livecd, arch-chroot into my arch install and step by step undid the changes i did the day before. After multiple uninstalls and reboots , checking pacman logs and bash history i finally booted in arch after removing libinput-config. Maybe because i don't know snapper, things could have been easier but the @ and "@home" etc directories didn't really make it simple.

I don't consider myself an expert, I guess i'm somewhat of an advanced amateur or something. But regular users who aren't tech savy probably would have given up and either reinstalled or go back to windows. What I did seems like such a small mistake and the consequences where so big compared to that.

So here is my thought, why don't we have a failsafe in linux in general for these kinds of things? If a livecd can be made that is roughly 2gb, surely there could be a safe mode like windows has that just boots the base system so users can troubleshoot? or some sort of a last 5 succesful boot snapshot system that can be easily accessed from the bootloader like windows system restore, leaving the files intact put disabling the programs/packages installed since the restore point? or even something easier to implement like a image containing the basics to run something like timeshift or snapper configured for your system since install, bootable from the bootloader to restore to an earlier snapshot?

The need for an extra pc/laptop to make a livecd to boot and fix your system would be almost non existent. Linux beginners would be safe, "unstable" bleeding edge systems would have a failsafe, and even expert linux users would save a lot of time.
