Today I'm heading to #Berlin again with tiny sh0rky 🦈🤏 and some cleanup tasks left for the ride.
The intel_fw library turns out to be very rich and powerful already.

I will start my new job on Monday, and I'll be using #Arch btw.

Tänään kokeilin muutamaa uutta komentoa :tux: 📝

df -h
// Näyttää paljonko kiintolevytilaa on käytetty ja vapaana

top (paina q jos haluat pois listanäkymästä)
// Näyttää reaaliajassa järjestelmän prosessit, eli paljonko resurssia mikäkin toiminto vie. Siinä näkyy mm. CPU ja muistit.

ps aux tai ps aux | grep sovelluksennimi
// Näyttää paljonko prosessit vievät resurssia. Lista ei päivity reaaliajassa kuten 'top'ssa.

free -h
// Näyttää paljonko RAMmia ja SWAPpia on käytettävissä ja käytetty.

someone had put Collabora Office Desktop on #AUR or on some #Arch repo?

Whether you prioritize the cutting-edge packages of Arch, the stability of Debian, or the balance of Fedora, understanding Package Management is the single most important skill in Linux.

Ich habe hier einen #Odroid C2 gefunden, mit 2 eMMC. Auf einer ist #Arch #Linux, soweit, so unspektakulär. Das updated gerade, war sicher über jahre nicht in Betrieb.
Aber auf der anderen eMMC ist ein #Android drauf. Was zum Henker macht man damit?

year of the linux desktop – for the AI age.

The desktop pc and laptop market is in turmoil. As a sign of the times, Microsoft is leveraging the AI moment to determine how it wants to play in the consumer space. However, their plan is currently being rejected by their ardent users.

Let’s take a step back. Microsoft’s major AI play is Azure. A couple years ago, Microsoft was riding high. They invested early in OpenAI after seeing the potential. They leveraged their strengths to become the enterprise play for AI as a result of Azure and Office 365 and their major consumer play was – Bing.

However, OpenAI was the better product company and now holds a significant lead in both consumer usage and mindshare. This has changed the calculus.

https://youtu.be/3D8TEJtQRhw?si=f_OIKF0-5mhPf9Ci&t=2

It’s almost banal. OpenAI is no longer an open-source-sharing-research-startup. It’s a consumer juggernaut with the greatest momentum. Consumers would develop an entirely new habit than use bing. Google also finally seems to have gotten its act together (for now), to finally leverage the strengths it had to make wonderful, delightful utilities backed by the most well functioning infra the world’s seen.

At the same time, Microsoft’s been picking up AI executives by the dozen to develop a consumer play. However, the only consumer surfaces it has are: Xbox and Windows. So, it’s not a surprise that Microsoft would attempt to start with Windows – which is where its other enterprise lead might also be leveraged.

Except. The world’s changed a lot for consumer pcs and desktops. Windows has felt downside pressure from 2 sides – on the premium front, the profit’s been in the mac segment and in the non premium segment, Chrome OS provides a much simpler and accessible experience. As a result, an entire new generation grew up primarily thinking of Window as a gaming operating system.

This is not to take away the major strides Windows’s made to make itself into a better OS – WSL, VSCode etc have all made Windows a strong platform for development. Except, that’s not been where Microsoft’s focus and interest’s been and the product sense compounds over time. It’s kinda like Safari for Apple. After years of neglect (by way of less resources), Windows has some core features to catch up on in the form of stability, security etc.

Enter Steam Machine

There’s one name that’s been on the rise for gaming, even on Windows machines – and that’s Steam (and Valve). Valve’s continued to be a better product to buy PC games and it’s now leveraging the open vector – fueled by Microsoft’s own contribution to better linux / open source support – into a tremendous advantage. Valve is champing at the bit given the entry vector that Microsoft leaves behind with gaming.

Steam’s the primary source of games. Steam Deck has proven that Valve can make a good console like gaming OS. And Windows consumer users are increasingly gaming users.

Aside: I also believe that nvidia is currently leaving an open vector of attack for consumer level GPUs. There are currently not enough takers for this market and that surprises me. Apple seems to be making some inroads, but it is also trying to keep its lead as the premium consumer pc.

Valve opened its salvo with the Steam Deck. It is a well designed compact PC capable of playing games and proved the value of Steam OS. After honing that OS in a highly constrained environment, and with the continued rise of AMD as the only real option in x86 based heterogenous computing, Steam Machine is taking it to the obvious next form factor – the console like SFF PC segment.

The genius – it’s all Linux based, specifically Arch based.

So, it’s finally happening folks. Amongst the dev community, Linux always had a pull. Arch linux also dramatically rose in popularity over the last couple years. The purists will hate omarchy, but combined with the framework set of devices, Linux is on the up and up.

As someone who’s followed this since 2000, I want to say – it’s only been 26 years in the making. However, the age old trope might finally become a reality.

2026 – might just be the year of the linux desktop.

@escolalinux easy if #noob use #ubuntu otherwise use #debian unless you want the latest shit then #arch

Okay, so after making a big post about how I was looking for a new #Linux foreverhome and I was gonna stop #DistroHopping on my laptop and wanted something...

Look. Long story short, I put #GnomeOS Nightly on my laptop because who cares about production-stable?

I will say my new Browser Home (at least currently) is #Waterfox because it fit in my threat model, has a slightly tweaked interface that I feel fits in better on a Gnome desktop, and overall just seemed the way to go.

Still trying to figure out what to so with my Gaming PC (currently running Bazzite). #PikaOS maybe? #DraugerOS? Something #Arch based?

I dunno, but you can rest assured that The Owlbear will absolutely bore you with the details!

🕶️ A view of its user interface (v. 3.0.3, dark theme, on my Linux PC, in French) with several tabs open showing different screenshots of Linux games. The active tab is open on a screenshot of the "Gameplay Football" game. I chose this image because it allows me to illustrate the use of the “Motion Blur” filter and because I'm not good enough at drawing to show my work :). Nevertheless, I tested this tool and found it to be both simple and powerful. Excellent.

On the top right are the image layers (only one for now) and below that is the history (only one: “Open an image”), both simple and practical. On the left are the drawing tools, and at the bottom are the color palette, image characteristics, and zoom. At the top, in the title bar, are the edit menus and menus.

📚️ Pinta is a lightweight, libre & multi-platform bitmap image editor inspired by Paint.NET, allowing you to draw and manipulate images in a simple but powerful way. It offers the classic drawing tools (freehand drawing, lines, rectangles, ellipses, ...), adjustment and effect tools (35 tools), a complete history (allowing you to go back in time), layer support (to separate and group elements of your image) and a flexible workspace (fixed and/or floating windows).

Retour à #Debian . En fait, je ne l'ai jamais vraiment quitté puisque Raspbian tourne sur mes RPI. J'aime bien #Arch mais #Debian a un truc spécial pour moi. Je sais que j'"irai encore voir ailleurs et que j'y reviendrai encore. #Debian est tellement ennuyeux (entendez stable) que parfois je m'ennuie donc je mets un truc plus vivant. :D Bonne journée.

I installed #arch #linux with #hyprland on some old machines (Lenovo IdeaPad with an AMD A6 CPU and a ~2016 Mac Mini). I'm really surprised at how well it's playing with the Lenovo, but I wouldn't mind seeing if I can speed it up on the Mac before installing LXDE. I imagine the main problem is Wayland not playing well with the older/unsupported mesa drivers. Does anyone have tips or documentation I can read?
