Obviously there's more at stake than distro hopping here, given the #Linux kernel itself is now pro-LLM, and also considering there's a wide gulf between "won't accept direct LLM contributions to distro-specific docs/tooling" and "won't package upstream software using LLMs".

Not that the latter sounds in any way feasible, even as it sounds vaguely pleasing to consider, and would doubtless garner instant word of mouth.

But personally, I'd take "the distro's own docs and packaging toolchain will stay slop-free" + assume my own burden for deciding which upstreams to use, pin, boycott, whatever.

Just running Unreal Tournament 1 under GhostBSD and linuxulator.
The only issue is avoid the linux script, download instead manually the assets (iso and patches) and dump everything in a folder.
I have a small monitor, at least on my screen the performance is perfect; after all is also a 25 years old game at this point.

I should try to put some mod if I found those which I used, some are hilariously fun.

Perhaps I should leave a small guide.

Wondering which other #Linux distros have already voted to ban slopcode besides #Gentoo. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Council/AI_policy

Sounds like #Debian is in the middle of voting on the subject and we won't know which way they swing til near end of the month.

#ArchLinux still has no policy that I can find, though the continued attacks on the AUR are making me consider leaving anyways (or at the least, reevaluate how much of a package-building freeloader I intend to be).

#Fedora, not that I really like RPM-based distros much anyways (personal preference! that family tree does lots of good work, just not my thing for hobby shit) seems to have an explicit-allow policy.

Bets on whether someone else already has a page up with a table on this subject? 😅

An AI-generated image drawn by ChatGPT in response to a single prompt: Draw Beastie (the mascot for BSD, typically drawn with green baseball shoes). Instead of wearing the shoes, he has taken them off to casually reveal animal hooves instead of feet, as if it's perfectly normal for human footwear to conceal animal hooves. Beastie is using one of his two hooves to type delicately on an archaic Olivetti daVinci handheld PDA, you'll find a photograph at https://www.osnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/PXL_20260814_175241196-scaled.jpg In one of his human hands, he's holding a 1920s-style long (perhaps extendable) cigarette holder. In the other, a glass of brandy. On a stylish table to one side: an extraordinarily beautiful crystal decanter, from which Beastie's brandy has been poured. It's beautiful but not gaudy, just enough for the viewer to be convinced that there's nothing, absolutely nothing tasteless about this AI-generated image, dahling. In a far corner of the tall, elegant room, not immediately obvious: Tux (the mascot for Linux) is stood. The implication is that he is the perfect butler for Beastie. The two of them get on famously when the media moguls are not frenziedly trying to sneak photographs of the two of them. Through the window of the room we can see the sun shining, except it's not a normal sun. It's the red orb logo icon for FreeBSD. It's shining in an iridescent bee purple sky.

If you use #Linux on your desktop, forget about the Linux foundation. The foundation you *should* care about is the @XOrgFoundation AKA freedesktop.org. The X.Org foundation oversees:

- #X11
- #Wayland
- #Mesa
- #Noveau
- #DBus
- #GRUB
- #GStreamer
- #PulseAudio
- #PipeWire
- #NetworkManager
- the Linux kernel graphics subsystem
- the #XDG base directory specification
- and more!

Also, development of what would later become #Flatpak started here.

These projects have a way stronger impact on your day-to-day computing experience than anything managed by the Linux foundation.

Jetzt liegt es schon Jahre in der Schublade und irgendwie würde ich es traurig finden, es wirklich aufgeben zu müssen.

Installing #FreeBSD on my new laptop to escape the massive #AI and bloat madness of #Linux. Opened the terminal and it is a real Unix, all my favorite tools and utilities are there from decades ago. Nothing has been "depreciated" or "Unix is dead" that #Redhat and their #systemD were constantly gaslighting about.

It's all there, even CDE/Motif, xv, oclock, xeyes, finger, ...

Since this is a new laptop with new GPU and all that, I am having to do some scraping from a Linux distribution to get Xorg working. Even GhostBSD didn't have all the new drivers yet. But this is Unix and the included documentation and build tools are amazing. Shame that the Linux Foundation is heavily invested by the AI goons. But this is a win for me😸

Quoting this again because it extends to the recent happenings as well. You really shouldn't be caring too much about them.

The #Linux Foundation is way less relevant for the Linux desktop space than you might think. The "Linux" in its name is a little misleading, because while it does indeed support the development of the Linux kernel, it also oversees a bunch of other projects. It's not at all comparable to e.g. the #GNOME Foundation, #KDE e.v. or the #Debian project.

It's not run by the same kind of people, and does have the same kind of goals. It does not concern itself with the ideology of the free software movement, or the "community" in the sense that you and I perceive that word.

It exists as a collaboration ground for corporations, and primarily serves the interests of those.

With the help of the lsusb command you can see which USB devices are connected to your system. Very useful to confirm that a device is plugged in and recognized, but also to block devices using udev.

Example: I wanted to block the microphone of my webcam, so it only is used for the video.

Steps:
- Find USB device identifier
- Create udev rule
- Reload udev daemon

As part of Parch Linux Mobile and Project Apadana, the immutable edition of Parch GNU/Linux, we're working on a new Proof of Concept aimed at making Android applications a first-class part of the Linux software experience.

Today, installing an Android application on Linux can still feel disconnected from the rest of the desktop. You may need to find an APK yourself, download it, open a terminal, and manually install it into Waydroid.

We want to make that experience much simpler.

The PoC introduces `libfdroid`, a standalone library designed to communicate with F-Droid repositories, parse their application catalogues, understand application versions and metadata, handle APK information, and provide a clean API that other applications can use.

On top of `libfdroid`, we're building a KDE Discover backend that presents F-Droid applications inside Discover. Waydroid acts as the Android runtime underneath it, so the user can discover an application, view its description and metadata, choose a compatible version, and install it directly into their Waydroid environment.

The important part is that we're deliberately keeping the F-Droid functionality separate from Discover.

`libfdroid` isn't a Discover library. It doesn't know about KDE, Plasma, Waydroid, or any particular software center. It is intended to be a reusable piece of infrastructure for the wider Linux ecosystem.

That means the same library can eventually power other applications and software centers. One of the planned integrations is GNOME Software, allowing GNOME users to access the same F-Droid catalogue and Android application ecosystem without requiring a separate implementation of the F-Droid repository format.

The long-term architecture looks roughly like this:

`F-Droid → libfdroid → Discover / GNOME Software / other clients`

while Waydroid provides the actual Android runtime and installation layer.

We're also designing this with different Android architectures in mind. The system should be able to determine what the Waydroid environment supports and select an appropriate APK rather than blindly assuming that the Linux host architecture is the same as the Android environment.

Security and reliability are also part of the design. APK metadata from F-Droid includes information that can be used to verify downloaded files, so the installation process can verify the APK's SHA-256 checksum before handing it over to Waydroid. More advanced repository and signing verification can be added as the project matures.

For now, this is a Proof of Concept rather than a finished product. We're using it to validate the architecture and figure out how well F-Droid, Waydroid and existing Linux software centers can work together.

The source code will be published later in the official Parch Linux GitHub organization once the project reaches a suitable stage of development.

Our goal isn't to turn Discover or GNOME Software into Android-specific projects. Instead, we want to build a small, reusable layer that allows existing Linux software centers to understand F-Droid and lets projects such as Parch Linux Mobile and Apadana provide a more seamless experience for running free and open-source Android applications.

This is one of the pieces we're exploring as we work toward a more complete mobile and immutable Linux experience with Parch.

🧰 The awk command is like a Swiss army knife but for data. So if you handle file data now and then, it is worth learning and practice with it.

Awk is great on the command line, but also if you create some shellscript to automate a task 🤖

For example, it can quickly filter out any long (or short) lines of a file.

💡 Good to know: awk is available on most Unix-like systems, but their implementation differs a little bit.

My NixOS system update is satisfying and also informative to stare at.

Thanks to #nom (#nix-output-monitor). Btw, I use nh which have nom etc builtin

The most useful flag I use for system update is `-a` which asks for confirmation after building and showing all changes, so I know if I have commented or forgot to enable a service by mistake etc etc. pretty useful TBH

`nh clean all --optimize` is another one I use regularly

You can run the top command in "batch mode" and have it stop after gathering information once.

Great for getting information and sorting it, for example by processes consuming the most memory.

Could be a useful alias if you need it more than once.
