In naher Zukunft, wenn ich mal an einem Wochenende einen Tag Zeit habe, werde ich mal wieder zurück auf #Linux wechseln. Favoriten sind aktuell #UbuntuMate, #Xubuntu und #Mint mit #XFCE oder #Mate Desktop. Wobei #Cinnamon auch einen Versuch wert wäre.

Aujourd'hui au boulot #3615mavie : en attendant des mises à jour d'os propriétaires qui n'en finissaient pas je me suis rendu compte par hasard, et avec ravissement, qu' #openwrt avait été porté sur les bornes #wifi de #Ruckus ZF7372. Il se trouve que j'en ai une vingtaine qui dorment sur l'étagère pour cause d'obsolescence (programmée ?) suite au changement de notre contrôleur WiFi.
Aller hop: un petit #FTDI, minicom et un serveur #tftp sur la #xubuntu. Le plus long a été de déclipser le boîtier sans le casser (5 bonnes minutes), 1 minute pour brancher les câbles Dupont et 3 minutes pour flasher.
Et une bonne dose de satisfaction pour cette journée :)

Libérer de l’espace disque avec Ubuntu / xUbuntu
https://grimoire.d12s.fr/2025/free_some_storage_space_on_ubuntu.html#_version_fr

Au groupe d’utilisateur de GNU+Linux Gebull.org à Bressuire on a récemment eu plusieurs demandes d’utilisateurs ayant une machine, sous GNU+Linux, qui arrête du jour au lendemain de fonctionner correctement. Dans ces cas là, il s’agissait de la distribution Ubuntu et c’était le disque dur qui était plein. Les utilisateurs ont été surpris car il n’avaient pas copié eux-même trop de fichier sur leur disque. Puisqu’Ubuntu à tendance à remplir le disque, voyons comment faire de la place.

#Ubuntu 24.04.2 "#NobleNumbat" (#LTS) has been released (#Linux / #Canonical / #UbuntuLTS / #UbuntuDesktop / #UbuntuServer / #UbuntuCloud / #UbuntuCore / #UbuntuBase / #Kubuntu / #Lubuntu / #UbuntuBudgie / #UbuntuKylin / #UbuntuMate / #UbuntuStudio / #Xubuntu / #Debian) https://ubuntu.com/

So schöne #Nachhaltigkeit. Heute ein #X230 von #lenovo mit einem #Xubuntu 24.04.2 LTS bespielt. Upgrade von 22.04 LTS ging leider nicht.

Dafür ließ sich sogar #LDAC Blauzahn-Audio einrichten.

Soweit zufrieden.

Sure, February's almost over. But you still want a monthly @xubuntu update... right?

In this exciting update*:
- Xubuntu 24.04.2 was just released!
- Xubuntu 25.04 Feature Freeze is now in effect!
- RISC-V support for the xubuntu-desktop package!
- Print Preview works for the first time in years!
- Lots and lots of package updates!

Marseille: Install Party GNU/Linux, Le samedi 22 février 2025 de 14h00 à 18h00. https://www.agendadulibre.org/events/30472 #cercll #foyerDuPeuple #installParty #gnuLinux #logicielsLibres #ubuntu #xubuntu #debian #linuxMint #mageia

I remember in the late 90s installing Red Hat #Linux for the first time, booting into X, and thinking "OMG I'm in love".

That feeling has never dissipated.

I hopped from Red Hat to Mandrake and then to Ubuntu and loved every minute. Then I discovered gaming and, to my regret, I had to use Windows.

Nowadays, my life is very different - I became more and more disabled over the years - and found myself having to survive on benefits.

I have 2 machines: a 2014 MacBook Air and an 8 year old PC. The laptop cannot run MacOS and support for Windows10 was being withdrawn. Being on benefits, buying a new machine is out of the question. Money is just too tight. So, once again, I was drawn to Linux.

I installed #Xubuntu on the laptop and #Kubuntu on the PC. It has breathed new life into both computers. They run flawlessly and am incredibly grateful for them.

If and when the time comes where I can afford a new PC, I won't be effing around. Linux will be installed on it.

M$/Apple are my past.

Do you have a few minutes to spare in the next few days? Mind testing a @xubuntu point release?

#Xubuntu 24.04.2 is ready for testing on https://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/465/builds

It features #Linux kernel 6.11 (formerly 6.8) and numerous bug fixes, including the obscure xfce4-panel crash on close: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-panel/+bug/2064846

For an in-depth look at the package changes, you can take a peek at our manifest diff: https://github.com/Xubuntu/xubuntu-manifest/compare/24.04.1...noble-daily-live#diff-24e130eca188654ec3287ec9ba8d0473192ef822b12d48148254c7f357e5e4b1

Thanks for any testing you can provide (and record in the test tracker)!

My bad boy HP Stream 14 got a new battery. After 8 years of honorable service he's got a little exhausted. But after this refreshment he's as bright as ever.
It's been probably a dozen books that I have translated on this laptop since 2017.
He saw #Xubuntu , #Manjaro , #FreeBSD , #OpenBSD and now runs #Slackware (not sure for how long, though).

I'm happy I solved a #Linux problem myself, without the internet's help.

Couldn't successfully "sudo snap refresh firefox" on Xubuntu 24.10 without a couple head-scratching errors. I had a typo in /etc/fstab (fixed) and needed to install hunspell (why? It seems to be a dependency now that wasn't getting pulled in? ). But all's well now.

Großer #Upgrade Abend: #Dell E5500 #Laptop #Xubuntu #Linux 22.04 -> 24.04 && #Google #Pixel3a #Smartphone #Lineage OS 21 -> 22.
Noch sieht alles gut aus :-)

Dopo Debian anche Xubuntu si è ufficialmente lasciato alle spalle X(Twitter)!

https://mastodon.uno/@xubuntu@floss.social/113945660341189821

Se utilizzate ancora X, condividete l'aggiornamento per diffondere la consapevolezza che anche Xubuntu ha abbandonato l'ex Twitter.

Continueranno a portarvi il meglio di Xfce e Linux tutto in un unico posto, su mastodon:

@xubuntu

daje, svuotiamo X!!

Today, I am grateful for the technology I have surrounding me.

I have an 8 year old desktop running #Kubuntu and a 2014 MacBook Air running #Xubuntu. Both run flawlessly. My needs are not too demanding and these two machines do the job nicely.

I do wish I could afford new equipment but as a disabled person living in the UK under 45 years of successive right-wing governments, I'm not holding my breath.

I remember years ago before my illnesses/disablities fscked me over, I always had the latest tech. They were good days.

This year, my dream is to buy a refurbished Thinkpad because I know #Linux runs so well on them, but, for now, I'm satisfied with what I have :)
