Elementary OS shows my connected headphone battery percentage alongside my laptop battery. This is very useful as I can use it to check my headphone battery percentage.

I'm on elementary OS. I see there is a "color deficiency assistance" filter in display setting. I was surprised by it because today is my second day using eOS, and I never heard of a Linux distro being very user-friendly and as humane as having this option.

In Woche 8 war in der FOSS-Welt einiges los. Von Cosmic über Elementary OS zu CoMaps.

get in losers, we're distro hopping 🚙
(this is my big ""Black Friday Week"" purchase. A three pack of 64 GB USB drives. The largest (!!) I've owned so far, which is a decade old at this point, was 8GB. 😂)

How do you lure your kids off iPhones?
Give them MacBooks…running a "cool" version of Linux. Snagged 2 old Airs for just €50 each.
Wiped macOS, & installed @elementary - a clean, distro that feels familiar to macOS users but comes with a lot less bloat.
Now they’ve got "cool" Apple gear, with the the rich world of #Linux that respects their freedom and sparks curiosity.

Here it is!

I’ve got a feeling that 2026 might finally be the year of the Linux desktop. With that in mind, here’s my list of Linux distributions I’d recommend going into the new year, ranked from 1 as my top pick to 10 as still absolutely worth exploring.
1. https://linuxmint.com
2. https://debian.org
3. https://archlinux.org
4. https://secureblue.dev
5. https://fedoraproject.org
6. https://elementary.io
7. https://bazzite.gg
8. https://qubes-os.org
9. https://tails.net
10. https://paldo.org
Every project on this list brings something distinct to the table. Secureblue takes inspiration from GrapheneOS and focuses heavily on security. Bazzite is a Fedora-based distro built with gaming in mind. Tails routes all traffic through Tor by default. QubesOS isolates different parts of your digital life through strong compartmentalization. Paldo continues to push its Upkg package management approach further than most.
And before anyone starts complaining about what is or isn’t beginner-friendly: I never said this was a beginner list. These are recommendations, my recommendations, as we head into 2026.
Happy New Year!

Dado que acabo de mudarme, creo que es un buen momento de hacer mi #presentación (luego de dos años en el fedi equisde).
Me llamo Luis; aunque aquí ya todos me conocen como Manchita, también me pueden decir ink, no hay problema.
Soy de la Ciudad de México, y trabajo desde casa gracias a la pandemia. 
Mi sueldo es por cortesía de las tecnologías de la información.
Me interesa el anime, los videojuegos (sólo tengo 
), los libros de ficción; el rock, jazz, ópera (no el navegador), y alternativa; Linux 
, en especial #ElementaryOS; y los atardeceres lluviosos.
Estoy muuuy en el mundo del fitness, tanto en alimentación como en ejercicio; aunque, de momento no entreno por una cirugía, y ya sólo me faltan cinco meses para volver.
Soy totalmente #Slytherin 
Prefiero los comics de Marvel, en especial X-Men.
Soy hetero, casado, y aparentemente con mucho tiempo libre (por ahora) para escribir este texto, así que fin.
elementary OS 8.1 ist da ✨
Wayland wird Standard, erstmals ARM64-Support für Apple Silicon und Raspberry Pi, fraktionale Skalierung und über 1.100 behobene Issues.
