have a strong feeling the #steam machine is going to be a really good platform for doing #gamedev at some point. a lot of people who've never used #linux will buy them realize they can do this and that is going to be very interesting indeed.

Not to self-promote, but I have a list of useful resources for Linux music production on my website, feel free to check it out: crosleybendix.xyz/resources

... And thus we have reached the season of witches, d[a]emons 😈 and zombie [procceses] 🧟! Checkout KDE's fundraiser as it enters its spookiest 👻 phase yet, and help us ward of tech hobgoblins and proprietary waifs that threaten your rights and freedoms. kde.org/fundraisers/... #fundraising

youtu.be/t1eX_vvAlUc?... something all dual booting #linux users might want to hear

let’s go!

on it boss!

still enjoying KDE linux

As someone else said, one distro of Linux won't affect your experience elsewhere. The most Windows familiar distro is Mint and they aren't doin' any of that. I'm sorry that all the art folks gotta learn about Linux this way, ontop of creating new art workflows. Be not afraid.

before this is all over there is a good chance your favorite project will have utilized AI in some way. how they use it will make all the difference. Windows will become AI while Linux will have AI. a subtle distinction. something to consider.

KDE Linux has me arch crazy. i’m going back to arch and you can’t stop me! 🙀

I keep seeing friends who aren't thrilled that Word is newly enshittified. At the risk of sounding like one of Those Guys, there is a magnificent, full featured, entirely free alternative called Libre Office that works on all platforms. I've used it exclusively for over a decade.

just want to draw some attention to this since some of you might need a new pc for linux www.minisforum.uk/pages/2025-h...

O woah, I didn't know KDE is working on their own OS! I'll keep my eye out for it. Maybe they'll be going silver when I get more adventurous with linux than just Ubuntu. Both will take a while. And 6.6 is impressive since 6.5 just got released today

Of the 12 games I loaded up in Ubuntu Linux Steam they all ran. I've not gotten far enough into them to see how performance is, but nothing at the intro screens indicated any particular issues. I've tried Stellaris, Total War 3, Metro Redux, Starfield, Rimworld, Silent Hill F, Godot, etc.

I sold a laptop some months ago and installed windows on it and, come to find out, w11 does not have WiFi drivers for it and the keyboard touchpad didn’t work. I had to do more work getting that machine connected to the internet than I’ve had to do with a Linux laptop in…basically ever?

i find it interesting that all the main linux distributions wine has a binfmt package available but most don’t install it by default. this one integration literally gives you PE executable support by launching the exe via wine. click exe and it runs is wha im saying.

make it stop! glad i’m not alone but also holy wow just wow youtu.be/hksVvXONrIo

youtu.be/nj8RO74JdSw?... cat is out of the bag i guess but gl.inet and also cudy are building their platforms on openwrt (which is linux) with custom gui

this is such a great idea if you have a local repair shop i bet they would love your business and installing linux for you.

KDE Plasma 6.5 arrives with rounded window corners, automatic theme switching, enhanced clipboard tools, networking upgrades, and improved accessibility support buff.ly/wU3j5vo

amen

i love KDE Linux ❤️

you could too btw #linux

KDE Linux is a fun ride if you like arch and KDE. i wouldn’t say it’s arch though. the images are built using arch which does make it compatible. but you won’t find any pacman here. unless you count pacman-static which is here for unknown reasons.

no offense to ubuntu users but you might want to look closer at the relationship between canonical and microsoft before using it as a windows replacement.

this mint is a slightly more stable and sane ubuntu. the best mint is LMDE based on debian.

the operating system formerly known as windows

from here on out windows died with 10 and whatever microsoft labels as “windows” we just refer to it as “that os they make”

if you’re still waiting for linux to suddenly become literally windows where all your windows applications just work maybe stick to windows. they are in fact different operating systems. the fact that linux can run some windows applications doesn’t make it windows.

the first amendment protects you from your government. it does not ensure that you have an audience. here on bluesky everyone may be welcome but not everyone deserves your attention! block a fascist today!

if you’re still looking to get off windows and hop over to linux it doesn’t get simpler than this!

please consider krita if you use Clip Studio Paint

if you’re waiting for your favorite windows software to be available from your favorite corporate vendor on linux don’t. there are ways to make it work but alternatives are better here. linux isn’t a clone of windows and your windows software won’t run here. it’s its own operating system(s).

this video has a lot of merit for new #linux users so far youtu.be/MeRbUFehjrU

This is a fresh article from a few days ago, even if you dont make the switch it's good reading: uk.pcmag.com/linux/124238...

you don’t have to be technical now to enjoy linux. however if you are even mildly technical and you are wondering hey should i jump in? the answer is yes absolutely why are you even waiting?

For real though if you have the stomach for an alpha release distro highly recommend you start playing with KDE Linux.

the funniest part about microsoft wanting you to talk to your computer is they mean talk to Windows. lol. they mean talk to your desktop operating system that requires a keyboard and mouse to operate. this will end well for them.

Microsoft currently doing a great job of educating several generations of people as to how to use their own PC for the first time ever. #linux

in case you’re curious even if you have to install an nvidia driver the proprietary one instead of using the open NVK driver it’s never been simpler on most linux distros even ones that aren’t there to hold hands.

KDE linux might be a bit all over the place at the moment being in Alpha. but man this is definitely the future of KDE right here.

Microsoft wants to beat apple to star trek communicators. they want it so bad they are willing to burn down other business silos to get it. this is just the beginning.

decided to switch to KDE Linux. KDE Plasma 6.6 here i come!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=C44i... Install #Linux now! It is not that hard!

#linux we are having a bit of a party over here come join us

bro is hilarious

once you get settled into your new desktop linux environment today i highly recommend continuing education by learning more about self hosting. you can run your own cloud and rescue your data from the corpos.

here is what i recommend you switch to if you are brand spanking new to linux: fedoraproject.org/atomic-deskt... specifically kinoite if you want something gaming ready then choose bazzite instead it’s still a fedora atomic comes in KDE and nvidia flavored install iso.

fortuitous

all i want for the digital rapture is KDE linux to release a stable version.
