I'm looking for good resources for learning POSIX compliant shell scripting. So far I have found not much that hasn't been written with AI or just isn't very in depth. I can easily find specific stuff, but I'd love a general guide of some sort.

I found one that seemed like it would be fantastic, then found out it was made using Claude.

I haven't done a lot of sh in a while, and my partner wants to learn, so it would be great to have some quality resources.

Thank you to anyone who can help me out.

Edit: bash stuff is good too, but I prefer to avoid bashisms when possible

Big thanks to @vanlug for hosting my talk on the #Fediverse!

If you’re in the #Vancouver area and are looking to dip your toe into #Linux, or you want to network with other Linux users, then @vanlug is a great welcoming community that’s incredibly inclusive.

On my way to @vanlug to deliver my talk in the #Fediverse.

I’ll be delivering my slide deck on my Lenovo Legion Go, which runs Bazzite Linux.

And the detachable controls are quite useful because one of them features a touchpad I can use to transition between slides. Which is very useful for presentations.

I love the feeling of licking a tech problem - in this case, audio disappeared from Kdenlive (Linux video editor)

I installed a virtual audio patchbay and discovered it was going to the wrong device. Now fixed.

I knew my knowledge of audio routing was deficient, and now I'm slightly better armed for future problems.

(The solution, by the way, was to find which audio systems I was using (inxi -xA pointed me to Pipewire), then install qpwgraph and drag the Kdenlive outputs to my main audio interface inputs.)

If I get around to it, I'll do a quick comparison tonight with Mosyl Audio's #SampleManager, which I bought just the day before yesterday. Unfortunately, there's no trial version of SampleManager.

Since search engines doesn’t work in 2026, I’m asking here for you nice #LinuxAudio people.

If an audio interface shows up as a device in Alsamixer but not in Pavu/Helvum/Bitwig.

Is there anything I can do about it?

New @Vivaldi for your computer!

This time a lot of focus is on the design. At the same time we make it easier for you to see how flexible Vivaldi can be with layouts.

Let me know what you think! Still the only browser with a Mastodon Instance and a built in Mastodon (Vivaldi Social) panel!

Good news: #linuxaudio

I asked Push and Groove if their FILTRONIX plugin will also be available for Linux.

Here is their response:
"Yes, absolutely. I am currently working on it and planning to release both Linux and Mac versions within this month. Please stay tuned!"

Ok, just purchased a simple dedicated laptop (7730U with 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD) to do - finally and again - some testing with Linux.

I would like to run Bitwig Studio at first and perhaps Reaper as well. Most lightweight would be nice to try as also a version with some more dedicated apps and a more streamlined user experience.

I was thinking of Mint / Ubuntu - but perhaps there better alternatives nowadays? Does anyone (in my feed perhaps) has some tips?

When we're talking about #Linux, I expect a plugin to work with every Linux distribution, NOT just #Debian-based (.deb) ones! 😟

What is linuxdaw.org?

The site is designed to help musicians and producers find and explore audio software specifically for the #Linux platform, with options to filter by format, price, and license for more productive discovery.

How does Fedora process patches for security vulnerabilities? The short answer is that we work to stay on top of the news to implement patches, working in the community and with Red Hat for updates.

The long answer: fedoramagazine.org/how-fedora-…

At the end of the day, the best thing you can do is keep your system updated. :)

Ok Linux people. I need your help. How the hell do I make it talk! Managed to get Orca installed but it only speaks for a few seconds then nothing. Help! #Linux #blind


Thanks to AI, hackers quickly discovered new vulnerabilities such as CopyFail, DirtyFrag, and Fragnesia. They use LLMs to analyse Linux, finding and exploiting the security flaws faster than ever. The expertise required to hack is at an all-time low.

The Fedora Project decided to explain which precautions are being put in place to protect your system:

Just published my second blog post - a deep dive into running Kubernetes on bare metal Raspberry Pis.

Covers everything from routing cluster traffic over a self-hosted Tailscale mesh, to GitOps with Flux, encrypted secrets with SOPS + age, and NFS storage over WireGuard.

Also: the upstream k3s-ansible bug that cost me an afternoon, and why its always DNS
