We’re simultaneously in a place where there are more options than ever, and yet it’s become increasingly clear there are really only 4-5 options.

I know he’s just selling the platform to AI companies, but it’s an odd take considering they’ve been moving away from being a message board and towards being just another content feed for years now.

Fedora Kinoite.

KDE Plasma (very Windows-ey) and it is “immutable” which means you can’t break it.

Someone else said Kubuntu which aesthetically will look the same and is also a good choice but if you want to start with a “just works” I recommend an immutable distro.

Wow, it (1.3mb) can fit on a single 3.5" floppy.

If you’re using HAOS (ie not running in docker), there is an official add-on called “File Editor” that allows you to edit the config.yaml and upload files from the UI. It’s not perfect but gets the job done.

HA has a “www” folder that by default that is accessible to the network. Anything in /config/www appears at http://yourhassaddress:8123/local, so your images will be at http://homeassistant.local:8123/local/image.jpg

Exactly, otherwise it’s just, well, scrolling.

Just to be safe you may want to copy important files to a cloud storage AND usb drive before formatting the drive.

Also don’t overthink this and there is nothing wrong with Kubuntu, but Kinoite is going to be very similar and a little more resistant to n00b tinkering mistakes.

Bazzite is a custom image of Kinoite, but I’m not surprised it’s taking off, it’s great.

This is cool but why can’t we change the whole theme😖

There’s no need for hostility, your characterization of what is happening does not reflect reality.

Reports go to:

• Moderators of the community
• Admins of the community’s instance
• Admins of the reported user’s instance
• Admins of the reporting user’s instance

A Fedi instance requires a time commitment, there are some good suggestions in here but I recommend some alternative frontends.

I love being able to have the small-forum feeling of my home instance but also feeling connected to communities elsewhere.

I agree re: Fedora, especially the atomic varieties. I do think Zorin is good at what it is but it has a pretty specific use case.

Also, had no idea you were also in this community. Pleasant surprise.

Had the same thought, it’s always nice to encounter a civilized person of distinguished taste and culture out here in the wilds.

Turns out good web design skills does not always translate into other skills.

It’s not a scam at all, Zorin is a good distro.

10/10 this is the future of Linux

Totally agree

People are talking about privacy but the big reason is that it gives you, the owner, control over everything quickly without ads or other uneeded stuff. We are so used to apps being optomized for revenue and not being interoperable with other services that it’s easy to forget the single biggest advantage of computers which is that programs and apps can work together quickly and quietly and in the background. Companies provide products, self-hosting provides tools.

I’m very familliar with the “Year of the Linux Desktop” joke but I also can’t remember a time previously when Linux was getting this level of mainstream attention.
