I'm looking to replace an older machine and install Linux.      (Linux)

I've used many different versions of Linux but I thought I'd ask and see if there's something else I might be interested in. I'm looking for a secure way to access the internet. Does anyone have any experience with Qubes-Whonix?

Please list any good Linux OS's you recommend.

I've used red hat, ubuntu, mint, whonix, and I tried installing Arch. I probably installed others but that's all I can think of right now.

I've been using Affinity 1 with Wine, but it was finicky and sometimes crashed. I tried a bunch of other programs and found Lunacy by chance. Its actually pretty good and has tons of free assets. Another good program is BoxySVG.

A little something for Linux Newies: How to Install LibreOffice 7 on Linux (Well explained & Easy to follow)     (www.youtube.com)

We go through the steps to uninstall the previous version of LibreOffice and install the new LibreOffice 7 using Linux Mint. This tutorial likely would apply to Ubuntu and other Ubuntu-based Linux distros as well.

Can be adapted to other recent versions of LibreOffice.

Where do I find the apps I install? Devaun Linux.     (Linux)
submitted by Monica to Linux 9 months ago (+3/-0)

I finished installing Devaun and wanted to install brave browser. That took a while to figure out then it finally looked like it installed. Now I wondering where the is it? How do I launch it. The install instructions said to use the app launcher.

I found 'app finder' and brave browser was not in the list. I have no idea where this installed to.

Edit:
Can't change the title: *Devuan

I really hate dealing with Linux developers     (Linux)

Every single time I need something, I always get
" Here's a pile of completely disorganized poop, everything you need is right there". And of course, every single time I shift through the poop and organize it into something useful, it is missing multiple critical pieces. To which they respond by shoveling even more disorganized piles of poop.
It just never ends.
Every Linux dev I've worked with does this, without exception.

sixos: A nix OS without systemd [video]     (media.ccc.de)

Slides: https://cfp.cccv.de/media/38c3-community-stages/submissions/...

On NixOS, either the initrd "secrets" or the software that decrypts them is stored unencrypted on writable media. Ownerbooted sixos closes this loophole without any "trusted computing" voodoo, eliminating all unencrypted storage except for an eeprom whose hardware write-protect pin is connected to ground... coreboot [loads] an immutable pre-kexec kernel from write-protected SPI flash... authenticate the user, decrypt writeable storage, kexec into the post-exec kernel... The speaker runs ownerbooted sixos on his workstations, servers, twelve routers, stockpile of disposable laptops, and on his company's 24-server/768-core buildfarm.

Linux without Microshaft taint     (Linux)

I have been out of the I.T. scene for a while. My machine recently died, and I am looking for a flavor of Linux without "improvements" from Microshaft.

Any thoughts on an O.S. that would be more old school Linux than the recent version of Ubuntu?

Mint 21 is best Mint     (Linux)
submitted by totalitariat to Linux 2 years ago (+2/-0)
4 comments last comment...
I just upgraded the storage on a ~10 year old Asus laptop from HDD to SSD, and installed Linux Mint 21.1. I had Mint 19 on the old HDD. I was prepared for the ass-pain of trying to get all my stuff reinstalled, but unlike 19 everything I wanted just installed with little fuss and only a little troubleshooting. GQRX-SDR, CHIRP, ProtonVPN, LibreWolf & FileZilla were all included in the software manager so I didn't have to go search on a browser. Didn't have to go hunting for drivers or configurations to connect to the SDR. Even HPLIPfor my also ~10 year old printer installed with no problems, which may possibly be the first time I've had HP software run correctly on first install on Linux or Windows. I had a lot of trouble getting stuff to work on 19, but I also have learned more since then, so I wonder how much of that was just newbie incompetence.

I keep this laptop out in the barn and just leave it there to mess with radios or listen to videos while I work, and I had largely written it off as outdated, but this SSD is fast as hell and it boots and opens things almost just as fast as my new laptop. It's amazing how the only thing that's really progressed in consumer electronics is graphics.

Question to all you other Linux-Tards out there...      (Linux)
submitted by iSnark to Linux 1.1 years ago (+2/-0)

So, I started with Mint in about 2016, had brief stops at Parrot & Kali, Passed "GO", collected 200 Bucks! Went on to Manjaro, Artix, Garuda, & Endeavor, Then settled on Debian for quite a spell... What would you Autists recommend my next stop be? I'm really impressed with Debian, so I'm looking for something that has that same level of GUI-based performance and durability. This is just tooling around, Daily Drive bullshit... No specific need like running high level databases or anything like that. Eager to hear what you guys come up with. Give your reasoning behind your choices.

Which browsers are viable in 2021?     (Linux)
submitted by Wahaha to Linux 3.7 years ago (+2/-1)
12 comments last comment...
I'm still on Firefox, for lack of anything better. Tried out Brave, but it wouldn't even let you move tabs to the bottom or allow for vertical tabs. Immediately uninstalled that garbage. Also using qutebrowser on the side. It's only downside is that it isn't feature complete, yet. But it is good enough to handle most of my browsing just fine and is philosophically in line with what I expect from a browser.

Firefox with the new proton nonsense has become completely unusable, though, so my plan to hold out until qutebrowser is ready was thwarted. For now I disabled updates, but that's not going to cut it for very long.

Is there a filesystem that, given a simple hierarchical layout of files and directories (ignoring links and whatnot), can answer basically instantly the question of the contribution of a subtree to the total FS usage? Say it's an average server root FS of 2TB full.
