  • I built LinuxMate to kill post-install chaos (free repo + demo)

  • It is indeed with the help of llm. But reasoning is still solid and very curated.

    It isn't your reasoning and promoting it as such when asking us to read doesn't feel honest at all.

  • Try answering the questions I asked for yourself and see if anything comes up!

  • Why don't more distros use this method?

  • Debian has this (well, for sources at least) and I think it's somewhere between 20-30 DVD images for actually-everything. Maybe not something for the day-to-day but great to keep on hand for preppers and the paranoid (:

  • Linux MATE desktop is pretty established and I think has a similar audience. Pretty confusing name choice... "want to install mate on linux? Try linuxmate (no relation)"

    BTW are those actually your reasonings on the blog as you say? It reads very LLMy.

  • Digg is just a shallow VC play that acquired the name and brand I think. No actual relation to OG Digg AFAIK. At launch they had only closed Android and iOS apps, no web.

    OP: What makes you interested in thes and what's your own take? BTW please try to put a more descriptive title for future posts!

  • What makes you suspect the Nginx config instead of Lemmy? Do you have any failing requests (timeout or statuscode >= 400) in nginx log? What are the failing endpoints?

  • EDIT: BentoPDF version 1.16.1 now uses bentopdfteam/bentopdf and is the official account, and bentopdf/bentopdf is deprecated and not maintained anymore

    Jump

  • Both can be true.

    I think such character assessment and calling names is unnecessary and off-topic here though. Better engage with substance than judging by vibes and doing ad-hominem.

  • Thank you for sharing!

    Very timely. The userconfig prefs look a lot like what I have myself and I was just the other day struggling with getting aur icecat to build. Will give it a spin!

    I don‘t suppose you are considering getting builds running for Android APKs? IronFox needs some competition..

  • I guess they now have large enough number of users that it would be wise to shift some focus to supply-chain security from growth-hacking.

    This is growing pains.

    Jellyfin on Ubuntu

  • Please try to answer the questions already asked above. "The app" is not specific enough.

    Trigger a full Library Scan of Movies from the Jellyfin web UI and look at the Jellyfin logs.

    Jellyfin on Ubuntu

    Jump

  • Check your jellyfin logs. We need at least relevant parts of those in order to help you. You can anonymize things like filenames and usernames before you upload.

    How did you install Jellyfin? How do you start it?

    The TV and the server recognize the file, but the library file is empty.

    It is not clear what any of this means. How is your TV recognizing a library file...? Could you give some more details about what works and what doesn't? Expected outcome vs actual outcome. Include any error messages.

    I’ve been trying to get Jellyfin working on Ubuntu for days. I stupidly switched to Ubuntu from Windows thinking this could be fun. I was wrong and now I want to drop kick my laptop into the street.

    You are only a week in. It's too early to say this. It can still become fun. If it does depends on how you approach it moving forward. This includes managing expectations and being open to new ways of interacting with and relating to software. That said, you can safely ignore things like Docker for now or forever if you feel it's too much.

  • Cool! Keeping up with platform changes is a challenge for projects like this. I think to be successful beyond initial popularity you need an active community that can do this together. It's draining for just one person - especially once you get big enough that they might actively break things just to mess with your integration. Following maintenance of alternative YouTube clients as well as searx-ng is illustrative.

    Not to discourage but be prepared. Best of luck!

  • KDE Linux (Immutable Distro) Thoughts so far

    Jump

  • The concept is attractive.

    Since back before "atomic" and "immutable" were fashionable buzzwords, I've had a few Alpine installations running something like this. Their installer supports it. https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Immutable_root_with_atomic_upgrades

    I guess I'm also not alone in having been running OpenWrt with atomic upgrades for many years.

    Since then been running a ublue fork (Aurora) for a while now. Forking it and running the builds on my own infra instead of relying on their GitHub works after hacking up the workflow files but it's quite redudandant and inefficient with IMO one too many intermediate layers (kinoite -> akmods -> main -> aurora/silverblue/bazzite -> iso) downloading the same things multiple times repeatedly despite spending considerable overhead on caching. It's clear that building outside of their GitHub org is not really actively supported.

    Also tried openSUSE microOS (Aeon) a year or two back for a while. I want to like it but find zypper and transactional-update pretty uncomfortable and TBH sometimes still confusing to work with. Installing it on encrypted RAID was daunting IIRC. Rough edges. Enough out-of-date docs on the official site to make Debian wiki look like ArchWiki in comparison.

    KDE Linux looks promising but it was still in a very early and undocumented stage last I looked. Great to see the progress.

    More recently been looking more at Arkane Linux and been using it for some months now. It's an immutable with Arch base. Much easier to customize and maintain than the ublue options and a lot less time spent triggering and waiting for builds - while having less stuff pulled from third-party servers in the process and an easy way to fork packages by cloning and submoduling an AUR repo. Lot more straightforward to make work without relying on GitHub. If you're looking at rolling your own builds and are comfortable with Arch, I highly recommend checking it out. My fav so far.

    https://arkanelinux.org/

    https://codeberg.org/arkanelinux/arkdep

    Given the self-contained nature of Debian - cloning the Debian sources is enough to do a complete offline build of everything - I think it'd be the most interesting base for a sustainable immutable distro unless you go to the opposite end with "distroless" (no comment). Looking forward to one.

  • Drag and Drop is an absolute mess

  • It's not as black and white as they say. Flatpak is not a bad choice per se but not without tradeoffs and they can come with catches like this because of the security model. There is no one-size-fits-everyone here. If you want all your apps to have access to everything your user does and value convenience over the sandboxing, flatpaks might not be the best choice for your situation. Also like for any repo with external third-party uploads, quality varies a lot between apps and maintainers on flathub. Some are excellent and some are in a sorry state. Before installing from fllathub its a good idea to some basic due diligence on the package and maintainer before jumping in.

    I agree with the IanTwenty that the UX has room for improvement in making it more obvious what's going on and making it easier to manage customizations and overrides. For the time being, getting comfortable with Flatseal and learning more about Flatpaks seems like the best way for a user to make it work for them if defaults don't work out.

    Flatpak has tradeoffs and whatever is on flathub is not guaranteed to always be your best pick. That doesn't make it Bad. Going as far as calling them harmful in general is hyperbole. It can still be a great option for many users.
