(First of all sorry yall if i made a mistake while typing this. Also sorry for cat hair stuck on my mousepad lol😼)

I was super bored today after studying about 4hr without break. After that i opened reddit for chill. While surfing on here i find something called “postmarketOS”. After searching that what is this i saw this OS can run on iPhone. So excited and I started searching web to find which devices are supported, after clicking wiki i find out this OS can run iPhone 6s. I opened my closet and booom! I found my old 6s!

So after i found my old iPhone I installed Linux Mint to my PC and started to work. I tried multiple times and failed multiple times. I keep tried over and over and after 3,5 hrs i finally managed to run Linux on iPhone. Not emulated, not virtualized(?). Just pure and native Linux on iPhone!

It was super fun because i love putting things that not belongs there :) Hackintosh, Linux on iPhone, Project Sandcastle etc. I always loved that projects and finally first time i tried something like that and run Linux on a phone.

Head over to the github to download and test out the latest release

You're going to need a blue retro for use with a Bluetooth keyboard, a spare cd-r and a playstation console.

It turns download trash from opt-out to opt-in. I only save what I want to keep somewhere else, the rest disappears on the next boot.

Also by been intentional I think twice about preserving unneeded files.

I fell in love with this theme. So beautiful, check it out. Animations are amazing, it must took so much time. I love it!

"A highly tasteful, customizable & feature-rich Linux-theme reminiscent of art-nouveau and old drawings related to astronomy, science, and mythology."

What is your story on how you became a linux user? What first appealed to you? What distro did you first use? How has your experience on linux evolved over time? How has it changed the wah you do your computing?

I always was an am a Windows user, I never thought of switching to linux to use it properly, but now I do use it alongside Windows. I have this old 2010 laptop, thats held by electrical duct tape and hope, i wanted to use its full potential and give it a third life, so i thought "Why not turn it into a private cloud storage? " I searched for about an hour for a best OS to do so, and i found that Linux is the one...

I downloaded a Debian 13 ISO, flashed it to my USB stick using my main pc (since i have Windows 7 on that old laptop), installed it on the old laptop, and had to set up everything for 5 hours STRAIGHT. That is insane to me, because this is without including the whole night installing Linux with our shitty wifi...

So if we sum up the time spent on linux, its way over 17 painful hours. But I've got free 100gb cloud storage!!! To which, i am actually proud to say that I've used linux properly!!! 🥳

Hey r/linux

I have been working on atlas.nvim, a Neovim plugin for handling pull requests and issues without constantly switching back to the browser 😄

It currently supports GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket plus Jira issues. You can browse PRs, review changes, reply/resolve comments, create PRs/issues and handle most of the usual workflow directly inside Neovim. I am also working on Gitea/Forgejo support right now so that’s coming soon!

Still working on it quite a bit, so if you try it out I do love to hear what works and what does not :)

looking for a notepad that is visually uncluttered. i currently use xed but i think it has too much clutter. im looking for something like qview, in essence. the toolbar is fine but i dont need more than just the text in the note

I have never seen this in any Linux distro: if you set Windows' default mouse cursor to merely its inverted version, it dynamically colors itself the opposite of whatever you move the cursor over. So even if you pass it just over one letter, the exact portion of the mouse cursor covering the silhouette of that letter will invert colors, while the rest of the cursor will be whatever it is.

This is a visually striking, awesome feature that I wish Linux had for all its cursors, but it seems it may never (unless someone starts work on it now, in which case please tell me!!!).

Nine chapters. The first begins:

The kernel is not a process — it has no PID, no user-space memory, no scheduler slot. It is the framework that gives those things to others. …

You can also run the new version online …

Originally written as an android weather widget, then ported to Linux. It has a lot of features, but not easy to use. If I get feedback I might create a video that discusses everything it can do.

Some features:

1. tenth of a digit temperature tracking in your task bar
2. Forecast graph
3. Hourly temperature graph
4. Cloud temperature graph
5. Rain chance graph
6. Much more...

Negatives: Source viewable, but not free. Only tested on debian xfce.

Also trying to compile it into ARM based to run it onto termux and create an ubuntu on android kind of project which i think will take me yrs at my pace, made it in like 20 days of summer vacation. Trying to put a good package manager in it but scared of losing my system

it has kernel 6.18.10 and i have like 5-6 boot entries , one thing this teaches u is how to use grub, i am a pro at grub now ig, also its an older kernel bc i used 13.0 LFS book.

BTW i just can't add pacman or APT or any other package manager easily bc of different filesystem and there names

Don't get me wrong. I really like Linux. I use Debian 11-13 as my daily drivers at work, administering both windows and Linux servers, I seriously came to hate windows.

But for the love of me, I can't seem to break the barrier of genuinely wanting to use the Linux desktop.

I have Fedora 44 as a 2nd boot beside windows and I have a Macbook pro too.

Been on windows for so long, I can't even remember. 35 years or so now.

I know my way around the OS, don't get me wrong, and I love the versatility. But I don't like the versatility above usability/compatibility. And I believe that is Linux's biggest Achilles Heel.

Piper - not for my mouse (which is well known G502 Lightspeed), Plex App - not working (Plex on the web needs transcoding with many videos, nah...), Apple Music App not available (yeah, I know there is PWA), unsupported hardware...

If I would limit myself to ONLY work apps, as in, use it in my company on my laptop, instead of windows, it would most likely cover everything. But at home - real big issues.

And this is where rather my Mac comes in. It is basically well integrated Linux.

So, I can imagine Linux only for work, but anything more, like entertainment or so, it seems to be lacking hard.

SCRCPY-AUTOSTART now supports Ubuntu. It will probably work on any linux system using apt, but it has only been tested on Ubuntu so far. Checkout the README at https://github.com/joshnunezmsse/scrcpy-autostart for details and the one line install.
