Cuando entras a para ver si hay distros nuevas, y te encontrás con una que parece interesante hasta que entras a su página y te das cuenta que tiene el Google Chrome instalado y usa los formularios de esa empresa. Además me da a un poco turbia la página.

Das ist blöd. Bei #distrowatch funktioniert die Suche nicht mehr, weil dort offenbar die Technik ausgelagert wurde, worauf #uBlock und #uMatrix jetzt mit sehr vielen roten Blockaden reagieren.

Schade, noch ein Langzeitbegleiter weniger. #Linux

I listened to the full uncut version of #TuxJam episode 121 "Kumander & Keyboard".
A full 2 hours, 6 minutes, & 27 seconds of my life.
Wonderful banter and discussion by @kevie , @mcnalu, @thelovebug, & @mralc
They discussed recently released #Linux distros from #DistroWatch, reviews of #Kumander Linux and the #FUTO keyboard for Android.
The episode contained excellent Creative Commons licensed independent music and permission given music tracks.

Thirty years of using Linux and not turning back!

In 1995 I started my Linux journey with SUSE. I had an old Compaq SFF and Windows 95 crawled. There was a Linux magazine with a CD and decided to give it a try and was amazed at the difference is performance.

I did a backup of my files to a CD and installed it. Faster, no crashes and it just worked. It was a bit of a learning curve using the package manager and where all of the tools were.

Over the years I moved from SUSE to MANDRIVA to PCLINUX to ANTIX and now MX-Linux. About fifteen years ago my wife wanted to migrate and we went through the migration. She absolutely loves it as it just works and has never crashed on her. I set it up to be as much in look-and-feel to her Windows95 setup. I love it as she doesn't call 1-800-tom-help very often. Most of the times it is asking where a specific tool is and only once!

Over the decades we purchased only used machines. They worked and much more inexpensive than the latest and greatest shiny computers. Only two machines were new. One was from my prior work, they gave me a bonus and I broke down and bought a tower. The other was a gaming laptop. I do play some games, but I was doing a lot of photo editing of family documents along with a few family videos and needed a machine with enough to handle that.

The gaming laptop is now on the list to convert to Linux as MS is stopping support for Windows 10. The only thing from stopping me earlier was the tax software was windows only. They now have a web version so that limitation is now gone!

If you are thinking about migration to Linux check out DistroWatch as they have a great list of distros and you can search for what you are interested in. Create a bootable USB stick and give it a try before migrating.

Foi só o #pewdiepie mostrar que estava usando #Linux , sendo mais preciso, que está usando o #linuxmint que estourou a bolha e várias pessoas estão buscando conhecer o #Linux, pode ver pelo #Mint alcançando ao top 1 do #distrowatch (distrowatch.com) #OpenSource

I'm installing on my old for experiments because I noticed it was in second place on . Let's see what it is; they promise a performance boost, and I'll test it on my 12-year-old laptop

Dat iemand zegt: kijk eens naar Linux, op distrowatch.com. Nou, vooruit. En dan wordt je geconfronteerd met een website die zo uit het jaar 0 lijkt te komen. 🤣🤣🤣
Ik ben direct genezen. Misschien helaas, maar het is niet anders.

@kerritheskunk I would recommend using #Ventoy (ventoy.net/en/index.html) and download the top ISOs from #distrowatch (distrowatch.com/)
And you can use #distrochooser (distrochooser.de/en) to get some recommendations.

#distrowatch no es ningún ranking fiable, la manía de usarlo como norma.

"Starting on January 19, 2025 Facebook's internal policy makers decided that is and labelled groups associated with Linux as being "cybersecurity threats". Any posts mentioning and multiple groups associated with Linux and Linux discussions have either been shut down or had many of their posts removed. " distrowatch.com/weekly.php?iss is this madness still going on?

In the wake of #unplugTrump, I asked #Distrowatch which #Linux distributions originated in #Europe. I confess that I left out the eastern countries. There were only six results, five of which were based on #Debian. Whether #Arch #Debian or #Fedora, how strong or extensive is the American influence anyway? Isn't it more about individual software or services themselves, such as #Firefox or #Google? #Microsoft and its #Windows should of course be banned in principle. But as an #ArchLinux user, should I change my system because of this?

Im Zuge von #unplugTrump habe ich mal #Distrowatch befragt, welche #Linux-Distributionen ihren Ursprung in #Europa haben. Ich gestehe, dass ich die östlichen Länder dabei ausgelassen habe. Es gab nur sechs Ergebnisse, wobei fünf davon auf #Debian basieren. Egal, ob nun #Arch #Debian oder #Fedora, wie stark oder umfassend ist der amerikanische Einfluss überhaupt? Geht es nicht vielmehr um einzelne Software oder Dienste selbst, wie z.B. #Firefox oder #Google? #Microsoft und sein #Windows ist natürlich grundsätzlich zu verbannen. Doch sollte ich als #ArchLinux-Nutzer mein System deswegen wechseln?

Seeking the latest in #Linux ? There's a right way and a wrong way to use @distrowatch. The website does a great job 'talking about, reviewing, and keeping up to date with #opensource operating systems.' Here's why #Distrowatch is often misunderstood.
