Okay more thinking about #Debian #Linux. I'm thinking of using #Plasma rather than #GNOME. Is that a good idea?

What container environment should I run? I see there are several.

Should I have the containers on a separate partition, and also another separate partition for data storage?

I'll also be running Windows 10 and Windows 11 virtual machines. Anything I should know about that?

How does disk encryption work? I've been using Bitlocker with Windows. What should I do in Debian?

#LINUX #HELP #DEBIAN .. what's the easiest way on a Debian linux to set the 'eth0' to a static IP ? .. I have the ethtool package and then net-tools pacakge installed .. basically I just want to give it a static IP, a subnet mask and a gateway/dns .. IPV4 .. so classic 192.168.0.xxx

Ich bin mir nicht bewusst, bei dieser Installation von #Debian irgendwas anders gemacht zu haben, als sonst, aber diesmal hat der Installer die Windows-Installation nicht erkannt. Sie ist noch da, aber ich muss jetzt den fucking grub manuell konfigurieren. Verdammte Hühnerkacke!

Continued thread

The above linked article explains the current status of the #PureOS development. It starts with the foundation and infrastructure. It describes how packages are synchronized from #Debian, how some packages are improved (for #MobileLinux), and it describes newly identified issues.

Another #poll for my #Debian peeps:

When in the stable release lifecycle do you upgrade from stable to testing?

Please leave a comment if none of the options apply, like if you upgrade to testing after a certain number of freezes take place, or just right before the stable release, or whatnot.

playing around with #BSSG. It is much more mature than I expected and amazed me about what bare #Bash scripts are capable of. I am really considering migrate! But I am seeing an error with scripts/edit.sh:

sed: can't read s/^lastmod:.*/lastmod: 2025-04-15 21:21:19 -0500/: No such file or directory
Seems like #BSSG requires #BSD flavored #sed ? I am using #Debian so #GNU flavored #sed (GNU sed) 4.9

Weil der Installer von #LinuxMint keine Verschlüsselung bei manuell(!) konfigurierter Partitionierung ermöglicht, hab ich vor einiger Zeit angefangen, alle Rechner auf #Debian umzustellen. Nun bin ich verunsichert, ob das eine gute Idee war, weil ich inzwischen über einige Software und Tutorials gestolpert bin, die zwar mit Ubuntu (und Derivaten) funktionieren, aber nicht mit Debian.

About 25 years ago, I disliked that so many Debian tools were written in Perl because the language allowed too many ways to do the same thing. Now, I consider Perl 5 mature and predictable compared to Python 3.

Windows 10 will no longer receive free software updates, technical assistance, or security fixes after 14.10.2025.
