A single, decent, maintained one for LVM.

Redhat had a couple of goes at this and they suck ass big time and rely on KDE (so no good for any other DE / WM). I’m not sure anything really works, so I’ll say: none exist.

Just a +1 for Open Camera - it’s a great bit of software.

Not sure if it’s the devs to blame when there’s statements like:

Kurtz therefore has the possibly unique and almost-certainly-unwanted distinction of having presided over two major global outage events caused by bad software updates.

So, I’m guessing it’s the business that’s not supporting good dev->test->release practices.

But, I agree with your point; their overall software quality is terrible.

I would add that a lot of attacks are done after a fix has been released - ie compare the previous release with the patch and bingo - there’s the vulnerability.

But agree, patching should happen regularly, just with a few days delay after the supplier release it.

No it’s Crowdstrike… we’re just seeing an issue with their Windows software, not their Linux software.

Uncheck the box labeled Allow websites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement.

And, we’re back to normal?

I tried using Enlightenment years ago - it looked amazing, and then… I found all the bugs, incompatibilities, etc… and it’s lackof progress was disappointing.

I tried Bodhi Linux and even they gave up, creating their own Moksha desktop environment too…

Whatever you do. Full backup first 👍🏻😉

Personally, I’d go with the clean Fedora install on the new drive and copy your data over as someone else mentioned, then expand Windows once you 100% happy with it.

(I did something similar with WinXP years ago… eventually dropping Windows, so that harddrive just became a data drive)

Follow the videos, the original developer shows what it can do, but it’s basically running keylogger software.

It’s come quite a way… O.MG Cable

Just a cable… complete with wifi man-in-the-middle abilities

I agree with this point: age isn’t the measure of usefulness, popularity is

Something might be 10yrs old and uaed by many people… and also something 10 months old is no longer used.

Also, just a thought, if it’s “old” it’s probably a standard too, so probably doesn’t actually need much (relative term) effort to maintain…

Checkout big-launcher:

big-launcher is a work-in-progress HTPC application launcher. The design is loosely based on the Roku UI, consisting of a sidebar menu on the left, and selectable apps on the right. This project is intended to be the successor to my other HTPC project, Flex Launcher. Compared to Flex Launcher, big-launcher will be more graphically advanced, but less customizable. The program will be written in C++ and utilize SDL for graphics.

I just read about it from the Flex Launcher page, so no idea what it’s like, just passing it on…

the recent influx of so-called ‘immutable’ distros springing up like mushrooms is undeniably linked to and inspired by NixOS.

This is the usual (only?) solution - the idea forks or inspires a different community to take it further.

There’s usually no fixing a toxic person / community in either real life or online.

If you like music have a look at

• Picard
• Puddletag

Also setup a bootable USB stick with a backup program like clonezilla to do full machine backups.

You’ll get the hang of OS vs data backups later, but for now, do a full backup, play around installing / removing stuff and if you break it, you’re back in business in no time

Ooh, nice, I didn’t know them - thanks!

Thanks, good to know… although I’ll do one other thing first… a full backup with clonezilla first ;)

That’s comforting to know.

I have kinda the opppsite: a machine that isn’t changing it’s hardware, but it hasn’t had updates in ~2 years (due to some issues with an AUR package back then…)

I wonder if it’ll upgrade…?

I’ve kept arch-keyring updating now & again… so it should work, but I know packages change dependencies so, it’ll be an interesting one (ie full backup first)

Do you have any other hardware between computer & monitor? (Ie a KVM Switch?)

The other post about display ID jogged my memory that KVMs (etc) don’t pass through the data (sometimes?), so just wondering whether there’s another factor here…

Not sure how it would only trigger this on updates, but just building a complete picture of the issue.

If you do find their site works on a other browser (and I mean, the browser, not due to an addon, etc.) then complain to the company / bank / etc.

If they take your complaint seriously then I’d persevere with them… if they don’t then they’re not customer focused and your business (money) goes elsewhere.
