Re: Lenovo = a piece of crap?

For free, MacBook Pro. My oldest daughter has a MaccBook, it lasted all through college and still runs like new. I received a Macbook Air circa 2012 from a friend and was able to get Debian GNU/Linux running on it almost painlessly. The only issue was needing non-free wireless drivers which I obtai...

Re: Incompatible with Intel integrated graphics

processors contain what is called microcode (sort of a hybrid between software and hardware). This is used for certain functionality and may not be available in the "free as in 'freedom'" repositories on Debian GNU/Linux. What are you talking about? It's literally available as a package i...

KDE Plasma in Bullseye

I have to admit I'm really pleased with the improvements in KDE Plasma which were released with Bullseye. For example, there's an incredibly helpful add-on for adjusting the color temperature of your monitor based upon your latitude and longitude information. While my glasses have a blue light filte...

Recommendations for Timeline Generation Software

Hello! I'm working on a novel and would like to organize plot elements with a timeline. So far I have found the creatively named "The TimeLine Project" as a multi-platform GPLv2 Python software Source Also, there's a LaTeX option known as tickz-package which I may toy around with, an examp...

This story, "Nine traits of the veteran Unix admin," was originally published at InfoWorld.com.
And that was in 2011 long before the fork when we were all happily using Debian.
Fair enough; I was basing this off of something someone offline had mentioned to me in conversation.

Re: "A House Divided...": Preventing the breaking up of Deb

My dislike of the "Veteran Unix Admins" has to do with the Network World article's citations of what constitutes a "good admin." As someone whom works with end users directly it is incredibly insulting to immediately assume that it's always the end user's fault for an issue, or ...

Re: "A House Divided...": Preventing the breaking up of Deb

Anyway, IMHO there is no "house divided". If you're raising/educating children, I think it would be prudent to raise them in such a manner that open source software also means that different people have differing opinions about how software should function. Agreed; that's why I'm educatin...

Re: "A House Divided...": Preventing the breaking up of Deb

If your effort is distro-specific, then it's already a failure. I disagree. I'm planning for vertical and horizontal scaling. By focusing on hardware compatibility for software this makes scaling less time and cost intensive in the long run. Sounds like you made up your mind long ago. Mkes one wond...

Re: "A House Divided...": Preventing the breaking up of Deb

Concurrently, the elitist attitudes of the "Veteran Unix Admins" mindset seems counterproductive towards creating a solid foundation of cooperation. After all, why would people opt out of one tyrant (Lennart) for the smugness of another? So how did you come to that conclusion? I see you j...

With that being said is it better to work within the system of Debian GNU/Linux or pour efforts into a fork like Devuan? The correct answer is: (E) None of the above.
