Classy Hatter

It’s even harder to praise the actions of USA’s government.

I expect nothing more from them. Although, calling it “Temu something something” is an insult to Chinese goods.

How long will it take until they turn Minority Report into reality? “The AI said you were going to commit an act of terrorism/murder/robbery, so we’ll jail you before you cause any harm”

If you want to confirm that, launch one or all of your WinBoat apps. While they are running, run pidof windows. If that gave some pids, run pstree -sp <pid>. That command shows the parent processes, with their pids, of the <pid> . WinBoat probably should be among the parents of the “windows” process.

/proc is a special directory that is populated by procfs, a special kind of filesystem. It contains information about running processes. Each sub-directory contains information for one process. When you launch an application, it’s assigned some process id. Every time you launch the application, it gets a different process id.

You can try and find the application by running which windows. If the application is in your PATH, that tells where it is.

That command only killed the process, in other words, it “closed the program”. Rebooting the computer would have had the same exact effect. The application is still in your computer, unless it decided to self-destruct.

That US site’s data includes both mobile and desktop. With a bit of math, you get Linux’s desktop marketshare over 30 days as 7,1%.

Steam’s February data is heavily influenced by Chinese new year. If you only consider Linux Steam users who have set English as their Steam language, Linux’s marketshare is 8,28%.

If running Home Assistant is all you are going to do, Pi is enough. There’s also official hardware with Home Assistant preinstalled: Home Assistant Green

I’ve only ever set up few printers to work on linux, and they’ve been bigger office printers. And they’ve all worked with minimal effort. Absolutely no idea about home printers.

Most (all?) printers and scanners released in past decade and some supports driverless printing and scanning. As long as you have printing related systems installed on your computer, most printers should be just plug and play. Especially those that are connected over network.

I don’t know the technicalities, but Markdown supports links, and it’s possible to craft a link that downloads a file and then executes it. You can look up the Notepad.exe RCE vulnerability from this year.

Hopefully it doesn’t have any Remote Code Execution vulnerabilities, like Microslop’s implementation had.

Good. No-one else can use it now.

GamingOnLinux updated their Steam Tracker with February’s data: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/steam-tracker/

Linux, English Only went from January’s 7.59% to 8.27%. There’s a huge influx of Chinese users in this month’s data.

I was wondering about that too, but I guess it’s a bit of both. From What’s the difference between Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux?

Think about it like this. The Fedora project is the upstream, community distro of Red Hat® Enterprise Linux. Red Hat is the project’s primary sponsor, but thousands of independent developers also contribute to the Fedora project. Each of these contributors, including Red Hat, bring their own new ideas to be tested and debated for inclusion by the larger community into Fedora Linux. This also makes Fedora an ideal place for Red Hat to put features through its own distinct set of tests and quality assurance processes, and those features eventually get incorporated into a version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

As I understood it, there can be specifically crafted links in Markdown documents, which, when clicked, will download a file and then execute it.

This is the official Linux Mint installation guide: https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/

Windows 11 market share went from 55% on October 2025 to 62% on January 2026. That’s an increase of 7 percentage units, not a drop of 5 percentage units.

If you want to remove the Windows entry immediately after deleting Windows, you can run this in terminal: sudo update-grub

Just a warning. Hitting the aforementioned “install” will wipe your machine’s first NVMe drive, and install SteamOS on it. It won’t ask questions.

It’s a different UI for feddit.org, so it works with feddit.org accounts. The UI is mlmym. You should be able to self-host it, and use it with a Lemmy instance of your choice.
