I have an old Mac Pro that has been collecting dust for years. Today I bought an SSD and install Debian on the machine. It works flawlessly.

Further reading revealed that there is an active community around the classic mac pros and thanks to their modular nature they can be fully upgraded. People even upgrade the CPUs in this thing.

So if you like playing around with a PC like the old days, that is also Linux compatible, a Mac Pro 5,1 seems a good choice. AFAIK you can get it for cheap and a decent upgrade won't break the bank.

I'm booting openwrt off a usb c thumb drive connected to a fanless Celeron mini pc. The pc is cool but the thumb drive is so hot i can't touch it.

Any ideas?

Ever since upgrading to Plasma 6 (fedora 40) my chrome web apps have been misbehaving when I try pinning them to the icon-only task manager (is that still what it's called?)

1.They randomly disappear from taskbar although i have pinned them

2.Sometimes they are there but wont work (i get a weird "chdir: not found" error)

3.Pinned chrome apps work but wont survive reboots.

Have you experienced a similar problem? I've tried both stable and beta versions of Google Chrome.

Is there a self-hosted downloader that would automatically download liked videos or the ones added to a specific playlist?

And why do you use them?

(I know wireguard, tailscale and so on are the preferred options. But for some reaon I can't use any vpn atm)

I'm looking for some tunneling solution which:

-is NOT Cloudflare Tunnels

-doesn't need a VPN (so wireguard or openvpn are ruled out)

-is not SSH tunnel

I need something like FRP preferably with a luci app and automatic ssl certificate for my subdomain.

Any recommendations?

Shotcut an amazing video editor.

Openwrt Routers can be fun too!

Fedora took away one of my biggest hobbies namely distro hopping. It's so good i haven't installed another Linux for 4+ years. Before fedora I would never use a distro for more than a couple of months. It's beautiful, it's solid and it's vanilla. Everything is shipped as the original developer intended.

I've been using KDE on Fedora for work for a few years now. Several system upgrades staeting from Fedora 36. Recently upgraded to plasma 6 and fedora 40. It is rock solid and very reliable.

And i do use alot of widgets, 3rd party apps, flatpaks, etc.

It matters since a top 3 distro will identify with KDE Plasma desktop. This is not very common.

Not sure how unusual it is but I run openwrt x86 on a fanless Asus mini PC as my main router at home.

Shotcut helped me get rid of the heavy, bloated Premiere Pro.

Wasn't this fixed finally a while ago? I swear i read somewhere it was.

As a genera rule avoid Nvidia. Also google the fingerprint sensor and wifi model before buying. General advice like "Thinkpads are fully linux compatible" is rubbish. Take your time to Google all idiosyncrasies of your desired model.

If I use ubuntu I'm somehow forced to use them.

Even on Fedora the average user is presented with many flatpak results when they use the GUI software manager. Not everyone is technically adept enough to check the origin of the app. So it's kind of being forced on users.

All XFCE needs is better defaults in terms of aesthetics.

Voyager is almost identical to Apollo. A joy to use.
