One of the good things about wriiting to companies about Linux-support, is knowing if it's something they are working on.

Recently experienced that our concert-planning tool at work (Crescat) actually was supporting Linux already, they just haven't put it on their website.

So I got an AppImage and it runs soooo smooth! And I advised them to also make it available as Flatpak, so people could just search for it on Flathub.

#linux

So what are we even looking for, when searching for the right Linux Distribution?

For users new to Linux, finding the right distribution can feel chaotic. I felt the same, until I understood what makes the different versions of Linux different.

So if you’re in over your head, and want to understand what an OS and desktop environment are, and what to even look for in a distro, this blogpost is for you!

As the normie masses finally begin to realize that the cloud is just bullshit to own and control your media, I am feeling a smug sense of validation.

That playlist? All locally stored.

That media library server? Also local.

Photo albums and picture rolls? LOCAL.

Contact lists, bookmarks, favorites, games? Local, local, local, and local.

And before you ask : redundant backups in place.

Has anyone here upgraded to the new PopOS cosmic on a desktop with an Nvidia GPU? Will I regret having an Nvidia GPU more than I already do? I do a lot of gaming (via steam + proton) so if that experience is worse I'll either wait, or switch to a different OS.

Tänker mig att det finns rätt många som har en dator som inte längre kan uppdateras till nyaste #Windows11 pga de hårdvarukrav Microsoft ställer.

Men med Linux så kan den få ett nytt liv, och gå att använda i många år till.

Och det är nog många som inte känner till hur enormt mycket de faktiskt kan göra i Linux, om inte allt, av sina vardagsbehov.

Vad tror du om den idén?

I have updated the article on the FSA website about moving to Linux from Windows for music production, in light of some things that have changed since publication, and some things I missed or forgot.

I am building a new "SessionMixer" application for my Linux audio setup. The goal is to provide configurable, ergonomic controls over both the audio hardware mixing (onboard in my Focusrite Scarlett, for now) and also software-layer mixing (PipeWire) under one roof.

It's early days, but a lot of the hard problems are already cracked.

Will be released as open source. Hoping it might be useful to extend for other audio hardware.

If you are looking to switch to Linux, especially if your work revolves around computer use, then I have a new blogpost out for you!

I focus on why it’s worth investing time to find the right distro, and not just the one everyone recommends. Find your why, and let it drive you through the jungle of Linux distributions.

#Linux question: I would like to have a shared partition, on a #DualBoot between Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24, which would be encrypted but still useable (read & write) from both OSes.

It seems that one way to do this is via "Veracrypt" (see this post)- Anyone out there tried that?

Alternatively, it seems you can do it with #BitLocker instead this link. Anyone tried that? It seems... suspiciously simple 😅

The BSDs are *awesome* operating systems. #FreeBSD is a high performance general purpose OS. It is modern #Unix. #NetBSD is for portability, it supports nearly every CPU architecture under the sun. #OpenBSD is security-focused. #GhostBSD is a FreeBSD fork focused on the desktop.

Most of my experience is with FreeBSD, which I will enthusiastically share. It is unquestionably a solid server OS. As a desktop OS, it works quite well. It definitely does not feel like "Linux from 2004." The major desktop environments like #KDE #GNOME #XFCE are all supported and #nvidia releases drivers for the OS too. Modern hardware is supported. For *cutting edge hardware*, #Linux may be the better bet here. It's a little slower to adopt cutting edge gear because it is focused on stability and elegant solutions, not trend-chasing.

FreeBSD is an excellent OS to learn. It runs beautifully and it's more coherent and better designed. Documentation is *solid*.

Edit: Corrected errors. GhostBSD, not DragonflyBSD. Thanks @aru

Good morning Fedi friends!

What a difference a year makes.

A mere 12 months ago, when I saw a photo of a 🐧​ or heard the word "penguin", I immediately thought of the cute black and white seabird.

Now, in December 2025, when I see a penguin plushie or a mural drawing, I immediately think of #Tux and #Linux... the world of FOSS... freedom, digital sovereignty and independence from Big Tech.

The photo below is of a plushie belonging to my little one... she picked it this morning for the walk to nursery school.

My plan for this morning: drafting the first post in the miniseries about self-hosting from the POV of a newbie... my one year anniversary is coming up next week!

Wishing you all a great day.

Valve is persuading the HDMI Forum to allow open source support for HDMI 2.1 on Linux (SteamOS) without restrictions 💫

This video standard brawl isn't a do-or-die problem for the Steam Machine - most won’t even notice.

The HDMI Forum holds Linux gaming back artificially tho. Society could just drop HDMI, adopting free'er DisplayPort where common sense is missing 😉

If Valve succeeds towards '26 - it'll be a huge victory for all.

If you’re curious about switching to Linux, and especially if you’re curious about Linux for music production — this might be a blogpost for you.

I haven’t been blogging for years, but now seems right to share some of the thoughts I have about Linux and Linux Audio.

First up is getting to know Linux, a thing about OSes, what’s up with all the “distro” talk, and what to expect from yourself if you consider switching, depending on your needs.
