I lean more and more toward switching to #Debian or #Ubuntu for my daily driver laptop. I just keep getting smacked with Word incompatibilities.

Re-reading a thesis for someone defending this week. It's a Word doc. I open it in #LibreOffice on #Win11. The images are all gone. Yes, the see images option in options is checked. They're all just invisible. Open the same doc in Word and it's fine.

There's no "open in Word" option on Linux. In #Academia, I find this to be biggest hurdle.

Wait. Wait. Wait. Spectacle - my screenshot app in Kubuntu - can extract text from a screenshot?

And it does it quite well?

<3 Kubuntu. <3 KDE. <3 Spectacle.

TUXEDO erklärt die Zukunft von TUXEDO OS Legacy und weiterer unterstützter Betriebssysteme

well well well... had to bump this instance to 4.6.x but it required #ruby 3.3.x which does not come natively with #Ubuntu 24.04

Against what i normally do, I did upgrade the server to 26.04 BEFORE the .1 usual update.

All went well, then had to fk about a bit with the new ruby version on the old instance.

Done all this on a #proxmox backup clone and now I am posting this to a newly updated #mastodon v4.6.3

You've got to love Proxmox for this shit.

Meine #Linux-Sozialisation

1996-2005 #SuSe:
* SuSE 4.2 (1996)— SuSE 9.3 (2005),
* KDE, später Xfce und mit LarsWM← haha, wer kennt das noch?

2005-2010 #Ubuntu:
* Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy Badger (2005)—Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat
* immer mit Gnome (dann kam Unity und dann Werbung und dann war es vorbei)

2010-heute (2026) #Arch +Arch-Derivate und #Debian
* in der Zeit: Umstellung auf Package signing, systemd-Einführung
* Alle Installationen die ich je damit gemacht habe, laufen noch heute

Vielleicht hat der eine oder die andere noch Bionic Beaver (Ubuntu 18.04) laufen? Welche Paketquellen habt Ihr eingetragen?

Noch ein Blogpost, den ich schon vor einer Weile angekündigt hatte: Back to Linux – Mein Umstieg auf Xubuntu https://www.camilla-kutzner.de/blog/2026/07/back-to-linux-mein-umstieg-auf-xubuntu/

#Linux #xubuntu #ubuntu #blogpost #EndOf10 #BackToLinux

i've been using Linux (Ubuntu) for quite a while. the only thing i regret - why the fuck i have not done it YEARS ago!
it's light. everything works. everything is easy. no more bullshit. no paid "subscriptions".
above the fact that i don't need my private computer spying on me.

damn laziness.

i have no wish to waste time for annoying services stuffed with advertising and "recommended" shit imposed in the fb, insta, youtube and similar. this part of the internet is dead.
and no more gmail and all that where privacy is hypocrisy.

and i'm fucked up to prove that i'm not a robot.
when i see it - i just close the tab.
it's faster.
i don't want to prove anything to anyone and have no wish to reveal my identity to strangers on the internet.

this is lame.

fuck it.
