Yeah, me too. It is quick and easy. I use SyncThing for things I want to keep synced.

I run CalyxOS on FP4, and I like it. It also has FP5 support. As far as I know, mobile Linux distros like postmarketOS work on (at least) FP4, but key phone functionality is lacking. There’s a functionality matrix on their wiki.
That sounds awesome
tmux has been on my to-learn list forever now. Seems it should be bumped up in priority.
NetworkManager was not installed on my system, but I will look into this later and check out nmcli and nmtui (as suggested below) to get familiar with these tools.
I don’t think it uses netplan.io - it is a very standard Debian server install - netplan.io being Canonical, I guess that would typically be found on Ubuntu installs?
nmtui sounds nice. I didn’t end up installing NetworkManager now, but it is something I will look more into, so I’ve noted it down. Learning networks is a big goal for this year.
‘ip a’ to show your active addresses
Nice, now only my ethernet interface shows an IP after implementing the changes to etc/network/interfaces
as described in an edit in the OP.
rfkill to hard disable wireless devices
rfkill was also not isntalled by default on my server, but I’ve installed it now and see that they (i.e. bluetooth and wifi) are unblocked, so I will now go learn how to block them. :)
nmtui if you want a simple way to change network configuration or disable something
Nice, I will check this out!
Thanks! That worked right away :) I have also entered the correct environment variable in Flatseal now, and it opens as expected now from the desktop shortcut.
Just to explain why they’re stored there: you’re trying to change the config of the sandbox itself not the app. Flatpak manages the sandbox and it is flatpak that needs to know what permission an app should have. Any files in “~/.var/app/…” pertain to the app itself inside it’s sandbox.
Thanks for this explanation! I love Linux after having used it for two years now, but the sheer amount of things to know about is quite overwhelming when I don’t always have too much time to spend on learning. It doesn’t always feel like I’m getting any better (although I know that is not true), but comments such as yours is certainly helping people like me become better users :)
Cheers, it looks like I will have to open up this week end then and forget about these cleaning programs.
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this, and nothing happened. I think it might only work for the printers with an LCD-display? Mine does not have that (does yours?), and I remember reading somewhere that to do that hardcore cleaning (I can’t recall what they called it), I would need to run it using either Windows or macOS.
Thanks for that! I’m not quite sure what the dummy cartridge is, however, and how I would access it. Would you be able to elaborate on that?
Well, after having run the print cleaner, now the problem is worse, and it also won’t print yellow… wth?
Thanks, I’ll try that if I can’t get anywhere with this. After a long time, now it suddenly seems to detect it upon a random retry after dealing with some other stuff for several hours, although it reports some weird values (e.g. all tanks are empty, when they are about 3/4 full for black and 4/5 full for rest). I’ve managed to start the head cleaner now at least, so we’ll see where that leads.
Forgejo for self-hosted source control?
It’s known as a beginner-friendly distro, exactly for the reasons you say. There is nothing wrong with using something like that as an intermediate or advanced user if that is what you prefer. You don’t have to go “Well, I have been using Linux for four years now, guess I am an intermediate user so now I have to switch to Arch”
I also use Nextcloud gpodder - it’s been set and forget in my case, very easy. Use Kasts on desktop, and AntennaPod on my phone.
I use ledger. I have not automated so much outside of autocomplete macros in my text editor, but it doesnt’t take too much time and forces me to look over my spend, so I like it. I will eventually attempt to build some kind of Dash-application for visualisation of the output, but have only started on the parsers so far.
Oh boy, I got my units mixed up. I am used to reading bits per seconds as bps and bytes per seconds as B/s. However, the network activity on Linode is given in Mb/s. Now the numbers make a lot more sense, and the transfer speeds are well within the limits of my network and what I am used to seeing on my laptop on WiFi.
Thanks, I didn’t consider something like that. Would have wanted to see some more detailed graphs from Linode to see how long these max speeds were sustained, but I can’t seem to find it.
The reason a very small subset of users love it*
All the downloads making it the top app in the app stores are from people using their centralized service. The people behind these downloads have no clue that you can run it locally or can even start to understand what that would even mean. It is this usage the article is addressing.
Like the thread starter, I am also confused to why this in particular draws so much hate.
