Habe mir #omarchy #Linux heruntergeladen. Mit 6,2 GB die bislang dickste Distro. Danach sollte noch #MXLinux als #Debian Alternative aufs Notebook wandern, doch brach der Download wegen "Datenträger voll" ab. WAS?!!!? Nicht mit meinen Daten. Das können nur temporäre Dateien von #pacman #pikaur oder sonstwas sein. Damit war mein Geduldsfaden gerissen … "ein Mann sieht rot".

Bin dann Einkaufen gefahren. Sonnenschein und kalte Luft kühlten das Gemüt wieder runter 😎

Nach Aufräumen der Festplatte tröpfelte MXLinux langsam rein. Abgebrochen! Habe noch andere versucht, aber mal ehrlich: ihr könnt euch eure #sourceforge Downloads sonstwo hinstecken 🤬 🤯

#Montag – morgens voller Energie und Elan den PC starten, um dann schockiert auf den #tty Login-Prompt, statt das #ly Anmeldefenster zu starren. Dann findet sich in der #systemctl-Liste weder ein ly-Dienst noch #network-Service. Ja, ich hatte am Freitag noch eine Systemaktualisierung durchgeführt. Da war weder ungewöhnliches noch verdächtiges dabei und lief fehlerfrei durch. Nun existiert das Kommando #startx angeblich nicht mehr.

Auf welchem Stockwerk sich meine Laune befindet, dürfte leicht zu erraten sein 🤬 Nein, ich habe keine Motivation zur Fehlersuche. Mir hängen solche Sperenzien zum Hals heraus 🤯 Früher fand ich sowas spannend, weil es mich von wichtigen Dingen ablenkte. Doch diese Zeiten sind vorbei, ich will einfach nur ungestört arbeiten. Vielleicht wechsel ich doch wieder von #ArchLinux zu #Debian. Wenn "rolling" mir immer wieder das System zerschießt, kann ich darauf verzichten. #Linux

Hm, #Alpine #Linux als Gast unter #Debian, #Mint oder #Ubuntu mit #Virtualbox scheint suboptimal zu laufen. Jedenfalls ist die CPU Last des Hosts pro Instanz 3x so hoch wie unter Debian Gästen. Schade, weil ich finde Alpine gut, weil es klein und fix ist. Und nein, Docker ist für meine Einsatzbereiche keine Alternative. Habe die Standard und Virtual Version getestet, beides das gleiche. Auch die Gast Extensions haben nix verändert. Ein htop beim Gast idelt bei 0% herum, während es am Host 15-19% zieht. Ein idelndes Debian hingegen zieht 5%. Verschiedene Virtualisierungsmethoden ändern nix. Von daher vermute ich dass Versuche mit QEMU ähnlich verlaufen werden. Aber in QEMU muss ich mich erst einarbeiten. Virtualbox ist so schön einfach.

So allmählich bekomme ich wieder ein Gefühl für #Gnome. Und ein wenig und ganz allmählich auch für #Debian. Fühlt sich gut an. Ja, klar· nicht #CuttingEdge, aber #CommunityDriven.

@fds2610 Ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass es bei mir auf lange Sicht auch auf Testing hinauslaufen wird. Ich will mich aber erstmal ein wenig eingrooven auf #Debian. Danke dir aber für den Beitrag. Momentan helfen alle Eindrücke von Leuten, die Debian schon länger nutzen. Natürlich muss ich euch ein wenig stalken, denn zum Meinung-Bilden gehört ja auch zu schauen, wer was mit welchem Wissen & Erfahrung sagt.

Disclaimer: Dies ist explizit keine Herabwürdigung der Erfahrung anderer. Aber, ich muss Aussagen ja einordnen für mich und persönlich habe ich mit Debian trotz langer Linux-Karriere keine Erfahrungen gemacht.

Historic moment!

This weekend a "non-technical" friend and me installed #Debian 13 on their notebook computer, removing their previous OS. They is happy!

Historic moment, because I'm promoting #freeSoftware for three fckng decades to them. Now it's done.

Next step: Convince them of using the #Dino #Jabber client instead of unencrypted email with me. Maybe next decade?

@rl_dane Wow, what a completely unhinged and unmitigated nightmare. Perhaps this person's only recourse is to get a lawyer.

This is one helluva damning reason to not use #Apple and this further highlights their "walled garden" is a prison which the customer funds with their money and data.

And yes, I do use a #Mac but it is limited strictly to music production in a studio. For everything else it's #Debian and #FreeBSD. I do not store *anything* in #iCloud and I refuse to buy an #iPhone.

Welche Linux-Distribution nutzt ihr eigentlich und warum genau diese? #Arch, #Debian, #Fedora, irgendwas mit Installer-GUI oder doch „ich kompiliere mir das Leben selbst“?

Free Software that I rely on. One per day.

Day 9:

YunoHost

This is technically more of a distribution than an individual software. There's a portal, and a large volunteer packaging effort to create apps for it. And a large catalog of applications already packaged.

I definitely rely on it. So I'm counting it.

YunoHost is how I have Wordpress (which I've already mentioned) installed -- along with other software I haven't got to yet.

It is based on Debian Linux: a particular install with applications already configured to work on it, pretty close to "plug and play". It's like the packaging systems for Linux desktop systems -- but for the Internet.

It makes managing a web application site SO much easier. I decided to adopt it as the basis of my "virtual studio" instead of trying to write something new.

There's a lot of truth to that. I started using #Debian back when Sarge was released. Since then I've only come across at most three shops in my area which use Debian in their infrastructure. I live a stone's throw from the Boston/Cambridge area, one of the most tech-heavy regions in the US. Every other place that I've interviewed at used #Ubuntu LTS, #RHEL, or (yes) Solaris.

Their release cadence has improved significantly to a more predictable every 2ish years and they now have an LTS release.

On the topic of books, while it has been covered in #Linux #books, Debian-specific books are even more rare. At one point O'Reilly had a Debian book and it was already outdated by the time it was released.

Which leads me to another question: given the lack of documentation in Debian is buying an Ubuntu book a reliable way of learning it? I am not sure if there's a straight answer.

@harmoniousanger @kevinrns

This right here, but...

It's important to understand Debian's culture. A solid description is it's the bazaar from Eric Raymond's "The Cathedral and The Bazaar." There is a strong emphasis on #decentralization over #cohesion and a strong #resistance to a top-down structure and #authority. Culturally, the devs and maintainers consider #code primary and #documentation a nice to have but not essential. Furthermore, there are no enforced documentation standards. With such decentralization and full autonomy from devs and maintainers, the end result is thousands of people doing whatever they want and documenting however they see fit. #Debian #developers also assume a high degree of #technical #competency from whoever uses it.

Concerning the Debian Wiki, there is no editor-in-chief nor any ownership and a reflection of its culture. The attitude is "if you want something better, be the one to do it." The #quality of articles varies wildly, from chicken scratch notes to a walk through.

With so much #resistance to authority and change, improving documentation is a real #challenge. That being said, the simplest solutions at the moment are:

1.) Adopt the Debian Administrator's Handbook and collaboratively maintain it.

2.) Improve the wiki by adding templates and freshness tags.

The organization, culture, and project are honestly so fascinating. Honestly, it blows me away that one of THE most #influential operating systems ever functions in such a beautifully chaotic way. I mean, it has hundreds of derivatives and forks under it including #Ubuntu and #Mint (which are incredibly successful on their own). It's paradoxical that something that large and influential has barely any coverage. People don't write books on Debian but there are plenty for #RHEL and Ubuntu. Heck, there are more books on #FreeBSD at this very moment than Debian....which also further gatekeeps the knowledge from people.

But....it's important to understand why and what Debian actually is. I use my operating systems to cars analogy. RHEL, Ubuntu, #SUSE are all like going to different dealerships and buying a #car. All commercial off the shelf products. Debian is like skipping the dealership and buying the car kit from which you build your own. It's so much more than the "DIY hacker distro" but a powerful #development base for #tech #projects. Not unlike building a Go-Kart, a monstrous 6x6 truck, or a sports car. It's #flexible, #powerful, and can be tailored to one's needs. But, like a car kit, there's no glossy manual, just #technical specs.

It assumes you know what you are doing or that you are willing to get your hands dirty to learn.

When viewed from this perspective, it makes sense why documentation is the way it is. I'm not saying it's right but for its documentation to be improved to being on par with other OSes it would require a massive organizational shift to being a centralized #cathedral.

Yesterday I installed debian 13 to my living room PC, used for mostly web browsing, watching videos and occasional Steam gaming.

Unfortunately the experience wasn't great. The default gnome desktop is super bare bones. There is no visible task bar, you need to click top left corner to reveal gray bar with app launchers. You need to install gnome extension manager and guess some extensions to get more familiar desktop look. Not great for beginner users.

#debian

After further #troubleshooting and #testing, I switched back from #UEFI to #BIOS and was able to set the USB optical drive as the primary boot device. I grabbed my trusty #Debian 13 netinstall and away I went!

Well, I didn't get *too* far. Hell, I didn't even get off the runway. The #laptop complained about a missing hard drive. Oh boy. I acknowledged the error and proceeded. The Debian installer displayed the initial menu. I chose "Install" and KA-POW! It failed miserably with this error.

So, in conclusion two things are true:

1.) This laptop has officially kicked the bucket.

2.) I like pain.

@panda That's awesome! I first started using #Debian when Sarge was released. It became my daily driver in 2006 and I haven't looked back.

Just curious, what did you build today?

For decades, #Debian has been my go-to for #Linux and operating systems in general. It's thoroughly tested, stability is rock solid, sane, and it stays out of the way. The #community, the Social Contract, the #transparency of the organization, and their #commitment to #diversity are also important reasons why I use it.

One of the longtime challenges I've had with it, however, is documentation. It is outdated and spotty. Finding information often requires #clairvoyance, digging through the #Internet, scattered wikis, old mailing lists, forums, and blog posts. It makes solving problems needlessly difficult. For this reason I have been leaning towards #FreeBSD. Technical and philosophical Differences aside, FreeBSD's documentation is excellent. The FreeBSD Handbook is widely regarded to be the go-to documentation source, particularly for new users. The team definitely deserves the credit.

The Debian Administrator's Handbook exists but it's not official and, like some other official manuals, is out of date. Cryptic man pages, however, are still the default documentation format though the reasons for that are both historical and cultural. Both Debian and FreeBSD started in 1993 when these systems were limited to extremely technical people and man pages were canon. Anything in HTML or PDF were considered "bonus." But, as these projects became more widely adopted, the culture of documentation shifted.

These days reading 30 different man pages and then engineering a solution is archaic and borderline unreasonable. HTML/PDF guides on hardening, virtualization, system tuning, and various reference manuals, step by step tutorials, cookbooks, and videos are the norm and significantly improve the accessibility of the OS as well as support people with different learning styles. The enterprise space isn't any different.

I am NOT faulting Debian. The sheer scale of the project is mind-boggling. Maintaining centralized up to date documentation of this magnitude requires significant organizational change and modernization....and it's required. The days of "RTFM!" are long gone, replaced by empathy, collaboration, and psychological safety and a new generation of users accustomed to different learning styles.

Even with these challenges, it's still my favorite OS. If you want to learn Linux, then seriously check out Debian. It's stable, mature, consistent, the community is great, and it's a solid foundation for technical projects.

Setting up USB capture for Wireshark is documented here, with a few extra steps needed for Debian 13:
USB capture setup

To load the usbmon kernel module at boot, add the line usbmon to /etc/modules.

Create a udev rule to set proper permissions:

• File: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/10-usbmon.rules
• Content:
  • SUBSYSTEM=="usbmon", GROUP="usbmon", MODE="640"

Add the user to the required groups wireshark and usbmon.

After these adjustments, USB capture works for your user in Wireshark on Debian 13.

#Wireshark #USB #Debian

OK, #Debian finally installed. Just validated that *both* the wireless and wired connections work. Now, to go back to #FreeBSD 15 and figure things out. But first, time to #grill some #steak!

I've been trying to install #FreeBSD 15 on spare laptops for the past week or so. The first laptop is on its way out. I wrote about it before. Tried a second laptop, which has a 5,400 RPM hard drive. There were more #networking issues, so just to see what worked I installed #Debian 13.

As an "Ah, what the hell. Let's install everything including all the Pure Blends!" moment I can wholeheartedly say the installation is *still* going. 😂

I've forgotten how just how slow these drives actually are.

"Slower than molasses dripping down a freezer wall" is an apt description.

👀 Hot Take

An Operating System's job is to manage hardware resources and launch applications. When the OS begins injecting "recommended" content into the file explorer or start menu, it ceases to be an agent of the user and becomes an agent of the vendor.

In fairness, it is not "just booting". The screenshot shows exim and an unattended-upgrades script started up.

The world has still yet to shake the idea that every single server in the normal case needs a standalone, monolithic, local queue/delivery, mail system running; it seems.

I wonder why systemd-timesyncd has a larger VIRT value than anything else there.

#debian #debiantrixie #linux

@stefano This is indeed a great post. Refreshing to read - the author didn't distro-bash but instead highlighted how needs were met.

I have been leaning toward #FreeBSD after 20 years on #Debian, which has a special place in my heart. However, FreeBSD's *consistency*, elegant design, and better documentation are driving factors and I just can't look away.

Over these two decades, Linux has definitely changed. It's no longer what it once was: a #Unix clone. It's evolved into its own thing. Software does that and that's OK. But a lot of the changes or "improvements" have been needlessly reinventing the wheel with a worsening user experience and convoluted results. The audio subsystems (ALSA -> PulseAudio -> Pipewire and of course the mess that is/was JACK) and #SystemD are two big examples.

On SystemD, I don't disagree that Linux needed a modern init system. SystemD is faster, but from a human perspective it's worse. I am now typing *more* characters to manage services. Is there a reason why it couldn't be designed to manage services like:

> $SERVICE start/stop/restart

Instead, we are left with:

> systemctl $SERVICE start/stop/restart

But I digress.

#TBT I fell in love with FreeBSD when I first started my Linux journey in the mid-2000s, but only dabbled in it as it was never in any production environment I managed.

I have a FreeBSD VM sitting in my lab somewhere but due to other factors rarely do I get to it. I'm thinking it's time I grab a spare laptop, load it up, and use it as a daily driver to really force myself to learn it.

@stefano Great post! I've been using #Linux #FreeBSD for about two decades and want to share my experiences. For context, Linux became my daily driver and I dabbled in FreeBSD on the side.

As a newcomer to both the #technology and #culture of #Linux and the BSDs, *back then* there was more toxicity. And by toxicity I mean abrasive and unhelpful responses ("RTFM!") or some kind of "l337" attitudes in various mailing lists and forums. This, of course, was before YouTube and Reddit, where the former mediums were more prevalent.

Some Linux distros were friendlier than others. In those days, the #Debian mailing lists and forums were a rough place for newcomers and it drove a lot of people away. I left the forums because of that. I rarely post to the mailing lists but for other reasons.

At some point, there was considerable effort to improve the etiquette in said mediums, particularly the mailing lists. Sure, some fiery disagreements can take place but overall people are friendly and welcoming.

FreeBSD, on the other hand, has been a more positive experience. Yes, there are people who are vocal about their contempt for Linux, but they aren't disrespectful to other people.

Having witnessed both communities grow and change over the years, there's definitely less toxicity and FreeBSD is still a more welcoming community.

I'm running some tests on my old and trusted Raspberry Pi A+.
I've installed Raspbian - latest release, lite version. At the prompt, it's using 92 MB of RAM, mainly due to systemd and NetworkManager. As soon as you use it (even just for apt), it starts swapping and becomes almost unusable. It took 5 minutes just to install Python.

I tried NetBSD (on the same memory card): 35 MB of RAM used (including Postfix!) and it's totally usable.
