I have a Windows 11 laptop which I use for the car OBD software. I decided to also have Debian installed on this laptop. I used the Debian Live installer. The installer offered to shrink the Windows partition, and install Debian on the remainder.

It all worked flawlessly. No need to faff around with a separate partition manager. #FOSS installers have become so proficient. There is really no excuse for not having a free operating system.

Pip is an efficient tool for managing Python package management. If you are a system administrator or a Python developer, you don’t want to miss out on pip3. It provides users with a way to download and manage Python-based packages that are all available from the Python Package Index (PyPI). Since Python 2 has been deprecated. 🐍

New (old) ThinkPad I’ve installed #debian on, want to keep the Windows partition in a VM though. I *paid* for that OS…

Brief look at Boxes & virt-manager. Not used them before. Some problem with getting the VM to boot. No bother, I’ll hold my nose and use #virtualbox - maybe not ideal but Just Works, right?

Hoooooly hell. After ages fighting with DKMS and SecureBoot and apt keys and all kinds of shit I no longer think VB is the easy option. Out of tree kernel modules can fuck right off.

Back to virt-manager I go.

I am happy as I finally was able to install linux on my wife's laptop the last bastion of proprietary software in our household. #endof10 presented this opportunity and I jumped into action and now her laptop runs #debian with #kde and I can hear her cliking away happily as ever, it just works :)

Will be starting the process of updating my home #selfhost mastodon server to 4.4.1 (from 4.3.9) in a few minutes.

So if you have any troubles connecting to me, please come back in a little while once #footiMac has finished chewing. She's just a little 2008 iMac under my basement stairs after all! :+D

There may not be an interuption at all.. but you never know. If you're looking for me, I'll be on @chris@socialbc.ca

I've been a Debian user for more than 20 years (a few others 10 years prior to that). I've always had Debian running on, at least, one piece of hardware. I will admit that I've had one of the "big 3's" distributions running on a separate piece of hardware at some point because I wanted to learn as much about those distributions as possible so I could apply for jobs with those companies. Now that I'm close to 60 years old, and it's quite obvious that I will never work for one of those companies, I have Debian running on everything. Debian just feels, and has always felt, like home. Last night, I rebuilt my home server that was running CentOS with Debian and all feels good again. Still have a bit of configuring to do but that won't take too awful long.

#linux #debian #debianlinux

#NixOS 25.05 system update (approx. for 4 weeks) took 1h7min on my lenovo #x260 i5 (16GB RAM).

I have no idea why the performance is so poor on that machine in contrast to T490 with same NixOS configuration.

I'll see after I switched back to #Debian if this is related to Nix or the hardware.
