I have just posted on my blog my review video and documentation on how to install the "XPpen Artist Pro 19 (Gen 2)" display graphics tablet on GNU/Linux using only Free (libre) and Open Source software.

Today is a good day for #opensource #software, in addition to the new version of #Blender, #FreeCAD version 1.0 has been released, we have entered a new phase, today FreeCAD is smaller than before and improved in many aspects, the only parametric #3D #CAD available for free and continuously developed, if you know how to use it you will be able to achieve many things, it has many workbenches, a point of reference for #Linux users.

Here is how you list all physically installed network cards in #Linux connected to the PCI bus:

sudo hwinfo --short --netcard
sudo lshw -C network -short
sudo inxi -N
sudo lspci | grep -Ei 'eth|network|ethernet|wireless|wifi'

See https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-list-network-interfaces-names-command/ for more info and examples.

Looking for some suggestions - are there any #linux servers/apps that act as either an Airplay *Receiver* or a Google Cast receiver? :boost_ok:

I have a Raspberry Pi hooked up to a small stereo to act as a bit of a jukebox for my Plex music collection, and until last month I was able to also stream Tidal to it through Plexamp. Unfortunately, Plex removed that functionality so I am looking for something that will report itself as a Google or Airplay speaker so I can at least cast music to it from my phone.

Here are the results of my "What is your favorite browser?" survey, here on Mastodon. These are some very interesting results.

It is clear that the incumbents are not getting a lot of love. Edge gets 2% and Chrome gets 5%. These browsers are widely used, but not very popular, based on this survey.

Safari does a lot better at 16%, the same as Vivaldi. The enthusiasm level from those that use Vivaldi is high and plenty of people also mention Vivaldi as a secondary option.

Opera gets just 1%.

Firefox gets 60%, so clearly a strong showing here in the Fediverse, although many say they use Firefox only because they do not want to use a Chromium based browser.

The cool part is then that 13% say they prefer another browser. Plenty of smaller browsers getting a mention, which is nice.

If you notice that the total is higher than 100%, then that is because I allowed people to select more than one browser, although most did not.

If you are still using Chrome or Edge, maybe it is time to try something new? You have a choice!

Hello Fedi friends!

I realize I haven't published any new #blog posts for #TheFutureIsFederated in 3 weeks (gasp).

I've been doing a lot of thinking, reading, learning #Linux on my #RaspberryPi5... and I'm now preparing a brand new blog post about the #Fediverse. I think it will be the most important thing I have ever written on the subject. I care about this A LOT and I hope it will be good and helpful.

In the meantime, you can read old posts and subscribe here: https://blog.elenarossini.com/tag/the-future-is-federated/

#Linux on desktop would be more successful if #openSuse was more popular. #Tumbleweed for general use, #Leap for Office-PCs.

Generally I don't understand why other distros don't implement the ability to boot into system snapshots and revert to them easily. It's one of the most useful and user-friendly disaster recovery methods out there for desktop computers.

That said, it's also stable as fuck.

FreeCAD 1.0 is out, and the binaries for various platforms are now available for download too (yesterday they released the source, but today binaries are available too). After 22 years of development, it's now a very robust app that competes head to head with heavyweights in the CAD space.

Funni #Linux #Wine #WIP umu prefix manager update.

A looot of code cleanup today. Now things are less redundant, and more stable when it comes to grabbing data.

The main thing though is implementing the New Shortcut window, with working icon support! It'll automatically get and apply an exe's icon by default. But if you want a custom icon, toss in an exe, png or ico and the manager takes care of the rest. This uses icoextract and icoutils to extract the highest quality image it finds.

Here's the belated but official announcement of GNU Linux-libre 6.12-gnu. Warning: contains some bad news, ranting, and yawning. Also, a new freedom-respecting kernel, and new pictures! Enjoy!
