Re: Fedora 40 is out.
I ran up Fedora 40 Silverblue edition in a VM. Since it is an immutable system using the Gnome DE and flatpaks for applications it is very very similar to Endless OS. The big difference is SilverBlue is based on Fedora while Endless is based on Debian. Endless is focused a lot on education and famil...

Re: Ubuntu 24.04 released
I installed Ubuntu 24.04 in a virtual machine. The install was straight forward and hassle free. The system ran well. I just fired it up from time to time to play and it worked just fine, doing what I expected from an OS. Then this morning I fired it up and decided to check the App Store to see if t...

Re: COMBAT CHRONICLE
Trump is an embarrassment. If we can get past this my guess is history will not treat him kindly. But getting past him is proving to be a real problem. Generally you deal with petulant children by ignoring them until they grow out of it. We have had no luck with that, his foolish antics seem to have...

Re: Microsoft intends to record everything you do on your PC for “AI” processing
You bring up a good point, Chris. I have kept journals for decades, and it is clear reading them, that all my recorded thoughts on events are about how things affect me personally. While I think I am objective, I do acknowledge that my take aways are different than others. I am still surprised thoug...

Re: Microsoft intends to record everything you do on your PC for “AI” processing
Sometimes when talking with the boss, the boss will say; “I am planining on giving you a raise on the 1st of June.” To which you knowing the boss well, respond with; “Can I have that in writing?” And of course come June 1, the boss has no recollection of anything like that. So perhaps the AI thing w...

Fedora 40 is out.
Fedora released version 40 out into the wild yesterday. As near as I can tell all versions are available. They can be obtained at <https://getfedora.org>. I have not tried it. From what I have read this release focuses on optimization is a solid bump in performance. Fedora Magazine <https://fedorama...

Bodhi Linux on an old laptop.
I found an old 2009 C2D non functional lap and was able to bring it back to life. Looking for an age appropriate yet modern distro I installed Bodhi Linux on it. It is a very convoluted desktop on which at this point I can not do much of anything without referring to the manual. It is a small distro...

Re: The weather has been crazy
That sounds a lot like the topography of our area. We are near the end of the glacial advance from the ice age, which dumped a several foot deep layer of gravel and rock. As the glaciers melted a giant lake formed and the silted up bottom became rich farm land, but there is the gravel a few feet bel...

Re: NAS setup question(s)
In my case the simple and most straight forward solution is to simply turn on file sharing on Endless. Endless is my main OS and has been for several years now. The machine is always on, although it sleeps 23 hours a day. So when I need to grab a file I just need to walk over and tap the mouse to wa...

Re: NAS setup question(s)
Sorry Chris, I get confused easily. I added the line 'server min protocol = NT1' to /Home/wove/.local/etc/. . . which is where Endless OS (an immutable OS) stores the user config files. When you log in Endless will replace the default system configuration normally stored in /etc with changes you mak...
