J'ai essayé pendant un temps #MandrakeLinux puis #Mandriva, mais jamais #Mageia

Je ne nierai pas ma préférence tout de même pour #Ubuntu (pas seulement parce que ça a été ma première distro à 100% et sans dual-boot) ou dérivée.

Certes, elle n'est ni Française ni Européenne, mais d'une part elle a un cycle de vie que je trouve à la fois clair (2 maj majeures/an en avril et octobre) et pertinente (LTS tous les 2 ans) ; et d'autre part #Canonical propose un support professionnel à celui qui le souhaite.

Le implicazioni di un cambiamento radicale

La transizione alle utility #Rust solleva interrogativi fondamentali sul futuro dell'#open_source. Da un lato, i miglioramenti in sicurezza e performance rappresentano un passo avanti indiscutibile dal punto di vista tecnico. Dall'altro, l'adozione di licenze più permissive potrebbe facilitare l'appropriazione di codice open source da parte di progetti proprietari senza reciprocità.

Tom's Hardware · La rivoluzione di Ubuntu: addio a GNU/LinuxBy Andrea Maiellano

in the past few weeks i've built a new personal server, and put a headless #debian system on it (my first debian install). got apache up and running, iptables, fail2ban, ssh authentication by security key only. quite proud of figuring all that out.
yesterday, i managed to resize the filesystem on my laptop's occasionally needed windows partition, resize the whole partition, and then smash debian as the third OS on this little book. somehow managed not to destroy anything except the #ubuntu partition's ability to secure boot. turning off secure boot in the bios allows me to boot just fine.
that ubuntu partition is going away anyways. i've been sick and tired of canonical's crap but as an adult (who doesn't work in tech) i don't often have/find the time to fuck around with computers like when i was younger. for example, i still can't get the wireless printer at work to be recognized by debian. so i have to boot into ubuntu in order to do my job.
but rest assured, i will conquer this hurdle as well, and that ubuntu partition is going straight into the volcano.
i've learned more about #linux in the last couple weeks than in the last 18 years of using ubuntu. and i love it. understanding how your system really works, recognizing a cli command versus an application, being more aware of your cli options, getting comfortable reading a manual page and actually understanding it... i mean this is way we should strive to use all the tools around us. lest, we become the tools ourselves.

a lot of this was thanks to comrades who showed patience and guided me along the way. a lot of if was me cursing my computer and taking frequent smoke breaks. but mostly comrades.

so to anyone who might be interested in revamping their own digital life, feel free to hit me up with questions. i'm not an expert on shit, but i've gained a lot of experience and i feel like i gotta pass on the good karma. for all the bad actors in #foss world, there's still a lot of really good projects, and sometimes you just need someone who has their head in current events to help you sort out the grifters from the real pillars of #community .

and fuck #canonical

#Ubuntu riscrive la storia con la scelta di Rust.

Il sistema operativo non è più tecnicamente GNU/Linux, perché le componenti fondamentali di GNU non sarebbero più presenti. Di fatto è questo ciò che ha in programma di fare #Canonical a partire da Ubuntu 25.10.
Le notevoli differenze tra la licenza GPL e la MIT sollevano importanti punti interrogativi sul futuro del software libero.

Fortunatamente non uso Ubuntu e co.🤦‍♂️

Right more than you know in one respect; but wrong in another.

#systemd came from #RedHat, not Microsoft; and the upstart was not Linux but a software package from #Canonical that was literally named "Upstart". (There's a whole backstory about the copyright licence that Canonical initially granted.)

Amusingly, Windows NT's Service Controller, its WININIT, and its Session Manager are three distinct things; not like systemd's architecture at all.

#uutils - #Ubuntu remplace ses commandes #Linux par du #Rust

Ces petites commandes Linux qu’on utilise tous au quotidien pourraient bientôt connaître leur plus grande évolution depuis des décennies. En effet, #Canonical (la société derrière Ubuntu) explore activement le remplacement des #GNU Core Utilities, écrites en #C, par ‘uutils’, leurs équivalents en Rust.

Ho letto la notizia pure io, con grande disappunto e tristezza 😞

#Canonical ha fatto una cosa, IMHO, MOLTO grave: cambiando le basi del sistema GNU significa di fatto dire addio alla viralità della #GPL che ha reso Linux quello che è. Molto male

Spero si ravvedano, ma se non lo faranno, devo cominciare pure io a trovarmi una derivata di #debian adeguata: la cosa mi pesa molto perché ormai mi ero abituato a certe cose di Ubuntu, ma sulle questioni di principio non transigo 🧐

How lucky #Gnome was that #Canonical abandoned Unity and came back to it, and just at the right time when Gnome was at it's lowest bottom. Remember, how unacceptable Gnome's performance was? It was unusable to a lot of people, an annoyance and hindrance to most users. My scars still feels itchy when I remember...

I just wanted to post to someone how easy it is to set up a bootable USB with Linux. Why has Canonical decided to provide a documentation with 'Rufus' where you should click through several warning and alert messages?!

That will scare people off!
