I am not sure if it will work out well to make a linocut from this design, but I guess I want to learn from mistakes? Also all the lines are thinner as I expected.
I learned how to set up a printer in linux (easy peasy) but I'm not satisfied with the built in pdf viewer. (Suggestions welcome.)
I transferred the picture with acetone. Not perfect but well enough.
Also what's the best practice for cutting a lino plate in several usuable pieces? @linocut

Printed and mirrored picture of a sphynx cat vs. the design transfered onto a lino plate.
The cat is sitting in the corner of a rectangular picture and looking grumpy.
The transferred design is less detailed than the template but most lines are visible.

currently installing alongside Windows 11 on my daily driver laptop (finally)

As a Linux newbie I found verifying the ISO image to be the most confusing part. But I must say @linuxmint does provide excellent installation documentation so I never got completely lost ;)

Ich habe Linux Lite auf einem uralten Laptop installiert. War keine Hexerei sondern eigentlich ziemlich einfach. Für mich war es trotzdem etwas Besonderes, denn ich bin noch ganz neu in der Linux-Welt. Bisher gefällt es mir gut, Linux Lite ist ein schönes und leicht zu bedienendes Betriebssystem.

Frage an die #Techbubble hier:

Ich brauche privat einen neuen Rechner und möchte dabei von Chromebook auf #Linux umsteigen. Bevorzugt ein Gebrauchtgerät (zB bei AfB afb-group.de/shop/?L=0)

Anforderung: bißchen Textverarbeitung und Tabellenkalkulation (einfachere Berechnungen), Internet natürlich und Bildbearbeitung (Darktable). Eher klein und leicht, externer Monitor vorhanden.

Ich hab vor vielen Jahren schon mal Linux verwendet, aber nie installiert o.ä.

Further steps on my #linuxNewbie journey, courtesy of the #plex #enshittification

Decided to switch my media server to #jellyfin. The installation was no problem but the TV couldn't see the server, so I had to learn about IP addresses and how to open ports on my firewalls (ok not actually Linux related, but still) before it would work.

With that under my belt, I wonder if I could get our mobile devices talking to the wired network. Any pointers would be much appreciated

I just started to add Hyprland to my Linux Notebook. That is a lot of tooling and customizing involved to get it working.

But after around 5 hours I think most stuff I do want is there and working. Now I just do search for an Conky alternative to list my system information to the background.

Last step is ricing, this will be fun without any css knowledge 😂

If I ever install another Linux what is your suggestion for the boot partition size?

Let's say I want to install 3 kernels 2 I use active and an LTS one if I do stupid stuff once again.

If I have seen it correctly each kernel does place around 200mb of data into the directory so 800mb should be enough, right? If I understood Linux correctly the Kernel itself is installed somewhere to the root directory.

I just installed a second Linux kernel, the lts kernel will be a backup if I ever destroy the default one.

Now I also did want to test the zen kernel but my boot partition is not big enough 😔

Continuing my #linuxnewbie adventure and this weekend's hurdle was my Plex server. I was expecting it to be a cunt and I was not disappointed, but not for the reasons I thought.

Installing was a breeze, but then I had to learn about users, groups and permissions - and there was no getting away from using the console. Yuck. I also discovered that directories have sizes - wtf?

#bash has a bunch of built-in shortcuts and key commands that help you get around the #linux command line. Some may be a little antiquated , but others are REALLY useful.

Today, on Into the Terminal, we're going to show you some of these shortcuts, come join us! Maybe you'll learn something new! We'll be live in a bout 20 minutes!

Went to try to install endeavor os on my laptop alongside Windows the other night... The only drive i had enough free space on was my secondary drive. And it still only will boot to Windows, even when i try to have it boot from the other drive to load endeavor. Sounds like it's time for me to just back up my windows-side files and just go all-in on endeavor on there. #endeavouros #linuxnewbie

[probleme réglé ] Coucou masto, j'ai une question Linux. Je suis sur Kde /Kubuntu et bien que tout marche mais y'a un soucis où certaines application refuse d'appliquer la disposition de clavier du système. Genre steam, signal etc mais parcontre firefox pas de soucis. J'ai essayé de fouiller sur des forums mais je comprends pas trop le language des devs x) et pas envie de toucher à des choses sensibles et tout casser.
J'utilise Plasma / wayland. Le fichier qui liste le profile est bien en Fr donc je comprends pas l'insistance du qwerty.
C'est un peu relou mais je peux quand meme utiliser le pc trql.
Merci d'avance si vous avez des conseils / d'avoir lu. 🐇
