EU OS: A Bold Step Toward Digital Sovereignty for Europe
—@linuxjournal

｢ While Fedora is a solid and reliable distribution, it is backed by the United States-based Red Hat. Some argue that using European-backed projects such as openSUSE or KDE's upcoming distribution might have aligned better with the EU's goal of strengthening digital sovereignty ｣

Snowflake proxy update 14.5

Testing this new format. This uses vnstati.

Just a question though for y'all; do I need to add alt-text for each images? I'm kinda.. lazy.. haha

Bloody love computers.

Imagine being forbidden from scheduling a shutdown on your very own computer.

What kind of decisions led to this horrid mistake to happen?!

Someday I'll take the time to solve this recurring keyring issue in #Fedora, but every time I search for info, it quickly becomes one of those "I'll do this another day" things.

Happens whenever I open VSCodium or Chrome. I just cancel it (three or four times) and it disappears.

If there are any Intel Mac users running #Fedora might want to help test that the mactel-boot continues to be supported in #Fedora 42, you can test it and report feedback from here:

@ublue What is the status of your dependence on GitHub? I want to make my own custom image, but I don't use #GitHub or plan on starting. #Fedora #GNU #Linux #FreeSoftware

Tried updating my @starlabssystems #Starlite5 to #Fedora #Silverblue 42.

Wifi doesn't appear at all; the Aeroplane Mode toggle appears for a flash every couple of seconds, but there's no wifi.

And since upgrading to Silverblue 41, every startup has taken several minutes. Resuming from suspend doesn't always work. There's no way to make the media keys be normal F1-F12 keys.

(Meanwhile my 2012 ThinkPad has none of these problems.)

Is this normal for a tablet designed for Linux?

Do I have to throw it away once Fedora 41 is end-of-life?

I didn't expect hardware support to get gradually worse, and if I'd known I wouldn't be able to upgrade past a certain version, I would never have bought it.

Thank you #RedHat for your contribution to the #OpenSource community. https://access.redhat.com/solutions/145833 Then reason I will never run #Fedora for personal use. #Linux

Ugh, Bazzite upgrade just borked a bunch of my Flatpak `.desktop` files and icons. Naturally it's in the one part of my setup that's _not_ atomic, and a rollback didn't fix anything 🫩

With the new Fedora 42 upgrade coming up next month…A small part of me is thinking about staying on GNOME, just because I installed all the stuff I wanted already. It would be a matter of backing up my data before applying the system upgrade; keeping all the RPMs I needed to run certain programs.

As I use the Flatpak for Vintage Story, my primary annoyance of not having a system icon when installing from the tar.gz via a .sh command is solved. Switching to KDE doesn’t make sense, but, it’s also easy to setup my system again…

I’ve been waffling back and forth about this choice. ROFL I thought I made up my mind.

Trwają prace nad własną dystrybucją Linuksa dla Unii Europejskiej. Za stroną projektu:

"EU OS to Proof-of-Concept wdrożenia systemu operacyjnego #Linux opartego na #Fedora ze środowiskiem graficznym #KDE #Plasma w typowej organizacji sektora publicznego. Inne organizacje o podobnych lub mniej rygorystycznych wymaganiach również mogą czerpać wiedzę z tego Proof-of-Concept.

Pomimo nazwy, EU OS nie jest technicznie nowym systemem operacyjnym. Distrowatch wymienia obecnie ponad 250 systemów operacyjnych Linux ("dystrybucji"), a ich różne smaki, odmiany lub podwarianty nie są nawet wliczane. Wartość dodana EU OS jest inna:

- wspólny system operacyjny Linux jako baza dla wszystkich użytkowników EU OS z opcjami nakładania modyfikacji (warstwa krajowa, warstwa regionalna lub sektorowa, warstwa specyficzna dla organizacji)
- wspólne środowisko graficzne
- wspólna metoda zarządzania:
- użytkownikami i ich danymi
- oprogramowaniem
- urządzeniami"

tl;dr Fedora + KDE Plasma

The European Union has its own Linux Distribution and it's Called EU OS https://news.itsfoss.com/eu-os/
